Wasteland Echoer

Sai's young body was like a kite that had broken free of its restraints, more like an incendiary bomb thrown by experienced soldiers, or a bomb launched by a rocket launcher.

As soon as he came into contact with the "Ancient God's Demonic Weapon", his body instantly burst into extremely brilliant fireworks like fireworks.

bump!

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The strong fire magic source power combined with the power of the "Shadow Time Bracer" worn by Sayi limited the power of this impact to the extreme.

Four explosions instantly caused a large hole in the lower body of the "Ancient God's Magical Machine" to ooze out thick black engine oil and emit rising black smoke.

Wright, who was attracted by the explosion, quickly stood up and looked around. A psychedelic, chaotic, mirror-like colorful area suddenly appeared out of the big hole of the "Ancient God's Magical Machine".

After a few seconds, the psychedelic colors dissipated, and with a crisp and loud "bang" sound, the blowholes on its tail and several mechanical tails broke at the same time, temporarily losing the ability to fly into the air.

Say, on the other hand, lost all his power due to the blow that exhausted all his magic power, and plummeted to the ground in a free fall.

Snapped!

Wright wanted to quickly step forward and hug Sai back, but as soon as he touched the ground, Sai's body emitted the last and most brilliant light.

Then an explosion occurred on the spot, turning into countless small lines and debris that exuded bright and colorful light, floating throughout the entire hall with the exposed top.

At the same time, two "Shadow Time Bracers" that had become dark and charred rolled to Wright's feet along the area that happened to be uncontaminated by collapsed stone pillars, gravel, dust and sticky matter, and lightly touched his toes. Then suddenly stopped in place.

"We still have to fight...we still have to fight...from the 'Ancient God's Magical Machine'...rescue Luo Nie first..." Wright murmured.

At this moment, his heart was filled with guilt for Natasha.

He completely regretted not following Natasha's guidance and entering that door when he was in Sugra, the door leading to the world of magic source power.

Human development will always go through spiraling eras one after another, with magic replacing primitiveness, steam replacing magic, and technology replacing steam.

Human beings will always have a desire for the future, first the desire for nature, then the desire to conquer, then the desire for steam machinery, and finally the desire for the vast sea of ​​stars.

It is precisely because he experienced a strong scientific education in the previous world that Wright instinctively rejects and resists magic deep in his heart.

But he regretted it. The moment after he picked up the pair of burning "Shadow Time Bracers" at his feet, he was reflecting.

This wasteland world is still dominated by magic power. Steam is indeed advanced and is the eternal future. But it is too weak, or it has experienced an unforgettable decline.

The Crusted Empire, the Ptoya Empire, the Eventelai Empire, the Fire Empire, and the Central Empire, all great countries that had created glorious civilizations, instantly collapsed and fell silent in the face of the "Careless Man Virus".

After the long five hundred years of the New Yuan Dynasty, the emerging Zine Empire is about to take control of the overall situation and use all the power of the country to try to "annihilate" all the "lost ones" so as to gain dominance in the new post-war world.

For the ambitious Imperial Crown Prince Ivant, "This is the best of times, and it is also the worst of times; it is the era when the dawn of a new world suddenly appears, and it is the era when it falls into the abyss in an instant."

Taking half a step back and trying hard to shake his head to clear away his distracting thoughts, Wright had no time to feel sad about Say's sacrifice. He suddenly realized: there are sacrifices in war, and people around him will leave one by one. As long as his mission exists, he will It will become more and more lonely.

This is the future, his future!

But now, he must defeat the "Ancient God Magic Machine" in front of him. Luo Nie is likely to be trapped inside. Only by knocking it down can he see Luo Nie and enter the final stage, leading to the "Daughter of the Mechanical Element". "Several sections of road to the temple of gods.

Thinking of this, Wright began to surge the red magic power all over his body.

In an instant, his eyes became as red as a devil escaping from the abyss. He rubbed the "Bear Bear" pistol at his waist. After hesitating for a second, he poured nearly one-third of his magic power into it and took out , raised it, and pulled the trigger toward the totem that resembled an octopus on the chest of the "Ancient God's Magical Machine"!

bump! bump! bump! bump! bump! bump!

The brass bullet turned red after being catalyzed by the power of the red magic source, and even attached a layer of faint blue flames. It dragged a slender tail that looked like a new imperial fighter jet soaring in the sky, and cut through the cloth covered with bright particles. Filling the space, he rushed straight towards the target without restraint!

One, two, three... until the sixth bullet, which was like a meteorite, hit the chest of the "Ancient God Demonic Machine". Finally, the "Octopus Totem" was completely penetrated, revealing that its internal pattern was still perfectly matched. Moving parts.

At the same time, after repeated attacks by Sai and Wright, the obsidian oval head of the "Ancient God's Magical Machine" finally emitted a bright, dazzling and charming deep blue light.

At this moment, it finally recovered from the arrival just after Luo Nie's prayer. With the sound of machinery running, it slowly lowered its head and began to examine the humans and the Lost who had just attacked it.

"Time... time, space... space, past... future." A soft mechanical voice came from the body of the "Ancient God Demonic Machine", which really surprised Wright.

Yes, these were words similar to those he listened to while half asleep in Donusk when he was blown away by an explosion.

Wright never really understood the meaning of this sentence and was unwilling to force it.

At this point in the war, both humans and the Lost have devoted all their resources, strength, determination, and wisdom.

He didn't have time to think carefully about philosophical topics, nor did he have the opportunity to truly understand and explore this interesting world.

He was "born" in the war, and the member of the escort named "Light" he replaced was also a human being who was inseparable from the war.

He had no choice, just like the dragons at the end of the First Era who were at a disadvantage but were forced to cooperate with the "Lord of the Night".

Therefore, taking advantage of the "ancient god's magic weapon"'s "consciousness" and the short period of time when it did not launch an attack, Wright withdrew the "Crazy Bear" pistol, poured the remaining red magic power into the right arm area, kicked the ground with his right leg, and suddenly Soar into the sky.

In the air, relying on his "own" muscle memory of combat skills, coupled with the "impulse" and restlessness in his heart that formed immediately after Sai's sacrifice, he stretched out his right elbow and poured all his strength into it, like a It fell suddenly like a cannonball and hit the "Ancient God Demonic Machine" hard on the head.

boom!

The bombardment of power caused the surrounding space to tremble!

In an instant, the remaining stone pillars that were still swaying and barely able to stand finally fell completely and fell apart in an instant.

Moreover, the railings that were still intact just now fell to the ground in various directions. Even the mechanical clocks hanging like rags were frightened by this force and returned to their original shape. They fell to the ground and broke into two regular halves.

At the same time, at the moment of Wright's power bombardment, a circle of red energy spread out from his elbow, centering on his elbow, and dispersed into the endless foggy area in the distance.

The head of the "Ancient God's Magical Machine" was blown away like a howitzer and disappeared, leaving only a broken body full of mechanical strength.

Facing Wright's successive attacks, the "Ancient God Magical Machine" was not completely helpless. While Wright was rolling in the air with the help of his strength, it fired a "mini missile"-style shell from his chest, grazing Wright's body. His cheek exploded instantly after contacting the ruins of the hall a few meters behind him.

The impact of the shell affected Wright's landing process. As soon as he stood on the ground, he was blown away by the shock wave and hit hard against a broken red pillar that fell to the ground.

"puff!"

A large stream of blood poured out of Wright's mouth as he fell to the ground. It splashed all over the "Shadow Time Bracer" that rolled up in front of him at some point.

After a brief period of numbness, Wright felt that his throat hurt as if charcoal had been stuffed into him, and his beating heart felt as if it was being pricked by thousands of needles.

The impact just now caused him to feel heartbreaking pain in his abdomen and legs. What made him most sad was his right arm and arm. In addition to the abnormal feeling of fatal pain and numbness, Wright found that he could no longer control it.

In other words, although the attack with all his strength injured the "Ancient God Demonic Machine", he also lost an arm and lost more than half of his combat ability!

Just as he stood up unsteadily, trying to channel the magic power to his left arm to continue fighting, he suddenly realized that the dark clouds in the sky had finally gathered to the extreme, covering the sky like a dark dome, barely emitting any light.

The dark purple parts rolled randomly in the dark clouds, and occasionally bright arcs shuttled through the dark clouds, seeming to stimulate the anxious atmosphere.

The "Ancient God's Magical Machine" accidentally entered a full-scale combat state, and the blue light emitted by the oval head was replaced by purple.

Wright was lucky enough to read a few words about the "Ancient God's Magical Machine" during the few days he spent in the Donusk Area B camp.

He clearly remembered, "The first stage of the 'Ancient God's Magical Machine' does not emit light. In this state, its power is activated by no more than 30%. The reason for the lack of light is that the 'Ancient God' disdains fighting with the weak." creatures as enemies.”

"In the second stage, the 'Ancient God's Magic Machine' will emit a blue light, a soft but measured light, like all flowers that represent melancholy. It will release 50%-60% of its energy to recognize the upcoming The strength of the 'dead' enemy."

"In the third stage, the 'Ancient God's Magical Machine' will emit a red light. It is a warning representing force, violence and power. 100% of the power will be emitted from its body, which is a state of exerting all its strength. It is also the final target for the remaining consciousness of the ancient god to descend."

And now, the "Ancient God's Magical Machinery" is fully activated and fighting with Wright.

Fortunately, it seemed that it had been severely damaged due to being bombarded by imperial weapons, or it had consumed a lot of strength in the previous battle with the monster controlled by Shamon. It seemed very weak at this moment. It just raised its hands and fired from the hand cannon position. Two laser beams were fired at Wright.

Zila - Zila - Zila -

The laser's attack speed was not too fast, and even though he was injured, Wright still calmly moved to the side and dodged.

During the attack, a shallow pit of more than twenty centimeters was drawn on the ground illuminated by the laser, and the broken red pillars and collapsed walls were cut in half.

Finally, when the energy was exhausted, the opponent's cannon fired only two weak bullet-like shells, hitting Wright's body and creating a thick black smoke.

When Wright covered his mouth with his left hand and coughed and slowly walked out of the smoke, the "Ancient God Magic Machine" finally could no longer support its energy-drained body and fell to the ground, disintegrating instantly and turning into a pile of gears. The wreckage composed of , screws and scrap metal, etc., has lost all its light.

Then, a young man dressed in a cyberpunk style and light gray worker's clothing crawled out of the wreckage, with a kind smile on his face, and walked to where Wright was face to face.

Looking at the fair and tender face in front of him, one eyeball looks like a sapphire, and the other eyeball is purple, but it looks slightly larger, and even has many small dark blue blood vessels extending outwards, spreading to less than half of the face. As a young man, Wright suppressed his nausea and dizziness and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Who...are you? Luo Nie?"

"Of course." Luo Nie nodded, covering his heart that glowed purple with his hand, and added in a slightly excited tone:

"You are Wright, right? I have been waiting for you for a long time. Destiny finally lives up to those who have been waiting so hard. You and I are the inseparable fate, and we are also the 'lovers' divined by Tarot cards. I have waited for too long. ...I have been waiting for too long. Sai used half of his life to make the 'R-013' potion to help me become a normal human for a short time. Now, I finally have the opportunity to become a real human. Wright Sukra, Let's make a deal, in order to live up to all the people who died because of this war, because of you and me."

Luo Nie said, glanced at Wright's injury, and stretched out his left hand to express friendship.

Hearing this, Wright nodded slightly, sighed softly, glanced melancholy at the dark sky, also stretched out his left hand, but only gave Luo Nie a light high-five, and then said:

"I'd like to hear what the deal is."

"It's very simple. Use your blood to help me support the energy of the 'R-013' potion. I will help you open the 'door' and fight side by side with you to enter the realm of the 'Daughter of Tool Yuan'. In the end, I will be with her. Pray to the 'Lord of Machines' together, obtain the 'wisdom' sequence core, and become a true human being, and you can achieve your own goals with the help of His power. Wright, no matter what, this is a non-zero-sum game." As Luo Nie said, he actually stretched out his hands, held Wright's arm, and begged for his consent.

To his delight, Wright did not question or object. Instead, he hesitated for a few seconds and nodded solemnly.

Immediately, Luo Nie let out a "cheerful" giggle.

He surged with the magic power of plants and trees throughout his body, and stroked his right hand over the ugly purple "replacement eye" that was incompatible with his face.

Immediately afterwards, his purple eyeballs fired a laser-like ray forward. After sweeping forward from top to bottom, a slightly crude and narrow "small door" as tall as a person appeared!
