Goddess of Destiny

"The power of the Godhead..."

The Monster Lord muttered in a low voice, almost inaudible.

Only gods can fight against gods. He knows very well that the Twelve Gods have made many arrangements in order to continue the survival of mankind in the Dark Mist Age.

Some godheads are weaker than others. In some special cases, the mechanical godhead is more difficult to deal with than others - such as now.

Countless metal pipes broke out of the ground and quickly formed into weapons at a dizzying speed. Lead-iron cannons rose one after another, with their muzzles flashing coldly and pointed forward, full of intimidating power. The mechanic raised his hand and drew a line in the air with his fingertips.

Blessings to [Mechanical Control], start!

When creating the Mechanic vest, Mason specially selected a corresponding blessing for it.

The Mechanic can directly control and build mechanical devices, and give and change their thinking intelligence. This is the deepest level of control over the machine, and is on the same level as the pollution of the Monster Lord. As the Mechanic said before, in the field of machinery, she is the only king.

Invisible flames ignited in the woman's eyes, and countless consciousnesses poured into the connection. In her senses, what she stepped on were not bricks, but a city built by countless human bodies.

It is impossible for a normal city to maintain its original appearance until now. Over a long period of time, the souls in the "Lost Kingdom" have already merged with the entire city.

Behind every brick, every blade of grass, every gear, there is a soul. When the mechanics start to transform the city, all the souls awaken together. The whole city is ringing. Mechanical devices rush out of the ground one after another. Transform the "lost country" into a complete mechanical fortress.

At the same time, the mechanic's left hand was stained with a metallic luster at an extremely slow speed. The mechanic shook her hand carelessly. Her curse was called [Mechanical Pollution]. Anyone who looked into the abyss would be assimilated by it. The mechanic's body would gradually become mechanized as she used her abilities.

The flax-haired boy called softly, "Oreus."

"Yes, sir. Although I want to say that, my injury is not healed yet."

Orelius answered helplessly, cut his palm and wiped it on the barrel. Blood-red lines spread out densely, and the mechanic's face suddenly became gloomy.

"You have no taste. You actually added blood to the machine."

"It's good enough that I'm willing to help, okay?"

"What a fool."

"Machine Maniac."

The two sides exchanged words, but their perfect coordination did not affect their verbal attacks. Bright red lines were drawn on the metal shell, stimulating the power to surge exponentially. The mechanic shouted in a deep voice: "Load--"

“——”

There was a heavy humming sound. Although there was no gunner, all the weapons were automatically loaded with ammunition as if they were loyal soldiers who had heard the commander's orders.

The mechanic remained calm, pointed in the direction of the monster lord and ordered: "Aim—"

The densely packed gun barrels automatically aimed at the target. The monster lord no longer had a smile on his face. He stared straight at Mason, and the black mist suppressed and surged, arousing the monster's ferocity.

A pair of red beast eyes stared at the city wall. The monster master still felt it was not enough, and saw black mist pouring into the monster's body like a tide, and each one swelled up like a balloon.

Those that could not bear the pollution exploded into a mass of flesh and blood, while the rest grew strange hands and feet, and their terrible howls echoed in the air. When the monster lord's strengthening ended, the surviving monsters devoured the corpses of their own kind frantically. The aura on their bodies surged, and hunger tortured their brains. In the end, all the monsters threw away the fear of death and rushed towards the city wall without hesitation. In their eyes, there was only the tempting flesh and blood and the smell of humans. They completely forgot about life and death.

The woman watched this scene indifferently until the first batch of monsters crashed into the city wall. Amid the shaking of the earth, she gave her final instructions.

"Launch!"

In an instant, blood, flesh, and fireworks from the explosions covered the entire city wall. Millions of cannons fired flames at the same time, piercing the enemy's body. Endless monsters emerged from the black mist, crushing them into pulp one after another. The following monsters stepped on their corpses and continued to approach the city wall. They used their own kind as ladders, stepping on the corpses to climb up.

The air was filled with the stench of blood and the pungent smell of gunpowder. Finally, a monster broke through the encirclement and climbed to the top of the wall. It turned over and jumped into the wall, but unexpectedly a musket stretched out from behind the bricks. The huge impact force directly pushed it off the wall.

At some point, the knights, armed with muskets, stood at the gaps in the city wall. The knights filled in the gaps that the equipment could not reach, and the flexible manpower and powerful machinery formed an impenetrable fortress.

The king stood with Mason, his eyes deep and sharp. His body was covered in blood, and his clothes were a little torn.

Seeing Mason looking at him, he smiled and said, "We can't rely on you alone to protect our country."

"That's a great help. When will the transfer be completed?"

The situation seems evenly matched, but it is actually very dangerous. With the blessing of the Mechanic and Orelius, and the help of the Knights, the three parties worked together to tie with the Monster Lord. But the Monster Lord never gets tired, and the monsters he drives are equally fearless. One will inevitably lose if the other outpowers the other. The King also saw the hidden crisis and whispered, "The transmission has already started, but I don't know why it didn't succeed. The artifact is managed by Master Ham, and we must go to the core to find him. I need to stay here to command the Knights, so I'll leave that to you."

"I understand, Oleus, mechanic, I'll trouble you two here."

"Yes, yes, yes——/Got it."

The two vests spoke in unison, and their tacit cooperation dispelled the king's last concern.

"Number One, take this gentleman to see Master Ham."

Number One staggered to his feet, his flesh and blood falling off. He nodded with difficulty and led Mason down. The spiral metal pipes became the best steps. As they walked down, they could see that time and space were completely messed up here.

What was on the left one second will appear on the right the next. The shadows of people walking on the road are blurred through many mirrors. The place where the house used to be reflects the light of the sea, and if you look closely, you can find the shadow of the forest. The air is cut into multiple crystals by invisible objects, floating up and down with the wind.

Number One warned: "Be careful, the power of destiny has been fully activated. If you are not careful, you will get lost here."

Faced with such a magical sight, Mason only felt that the world tree in his consciousness was shaking slightly, as if he had returned to an extremely comfortable environment.

He thought about it and understood the reason. The Goddess of Fate has been observing the World Tree all her life, and her power is closely related to the trajectory of fate. In other words, she uses the lower power of the World Tree, and after it is triggered, she naturally creates the most suitable environment for the World Tree.

Soon, the two of them were able to move freely and attracted a large number of crystals to approach. Just as No. 1 was about to attack, he saw the boy walking through the crystals safely. After walking for a while, he turned around in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Number One: “…”

These crystals are actually fragments of time and space. Once touched, they will be cut into pieces. Even the hardest machinery will be cut in one glance. Number One looked up and down at this human, and the detector kept flashing. Physical fitness, bones, strength, energy... After checking every aspect without missing a single one, Number One's expression became more serious.

This human...

No matter from which aspect, he is really ordinary! ?

Ordinary abilities, ordinary body, ordinary level. From Number One's experience, apart from the two followers, there was nothing worth paying attention to about the boy in front of him.

But why is he not afraid of these crystals at all?

In the eyes of the other party, these horrible weapons were just decorations that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. Number One followed them, puzzled, and secretly observed their every move.

The linen-haired boy was obviously more concerned about the core and was moving forward very quickly. When he encountered a large number of crystals blocking his way, he would wave his hands to disperse these small things. Number One watched helplessly as a crystal passed over the back of his hand and flew away lightly with the wind.

Number One immediately sought advice from the maker. The metal face sunk underground shared his vision and gave orders after a moment of contemplation.

A sharp knife stretched out from the palm of the android, and tried to touch the crystals. The moment it touched, the blade, which could shatter metal and iron, shattered silently, and the cross section was extremely smooth. This strange phenomenon spread rapidly upwards, and it did not stop until No. 1 made a quick decision and threw away the knife. The broken knife did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air as if it had been like this from the beginning.

Seeing this situation, No. 1 felt relieved.

Either the crystal is problematic or the person is problematic. He stared at Mason intently, and the latter's back felt hot from being stared at, and he could not help but quicken his pace. This section of the road came to an end in a strange atmosphere. The end of the road led to a collapsed ground, revealing the true appearance of the city underneath. Tens of thousands of pipelines supported the operation of the city, and soon sent them back to the core.

It was different from when he left. As soon as he stepped into the space where the core was, he immediately felt a strong tearing sensation from all directions. The World Tree shook slightly, and Mason was no longer affected by the chaotic space, and walked to the front of the metal man with big strides.

Four balls of light floated in the air, filling the entire space with a colorful and dreamy halo. Hundreds of metal pipes were inserted into the light balls, transporting energy to the entire city. This was obviously not an easy task, and from time to time, damaged pipes could be seen falling to the ground and being quickly replaced by other pipes.

The voice of the metal-faced man was a little harsh and sounded tired and exhausted.

"You are here, and I know why you are here."

"The heart of the goddess of fate is driven by faith. Every soul in the kingdom has long worshipped the twelve gods and accumulated tremendous power. But the power of the monster lord is far beyond imagination. He consumed a lot of energy, resulting in the inability to complete the transmission."

A careful observation would reveal that the other three light balls had dimmed, only the heart of the goddess of fate was still shining. To put it bluntly, the teleportation could not be completed because of insufficient power. If it were any other god, Mason would still feel embarrassed. But who made it possible for the goddess of fate to be in front of him?

"Send me up, I have a way to provide energy for this dirty heart."

"Really?"

The metal face hesitated for a moment, and a pipe fell down and lay in front of Mason. The boy stood on it, and as he climbed higher, the heart in front of him became clearer.

This heart is made of jade, white and delicate. There is no blood in it, but it is still full of vitality. Mason reached out and pressed on the heart of the goddess of fate, closed his eyes and silently activated the world tree.

Bang, bang, bang.

The human heartbeat gradually matched the beating frequency of the heart, and the eyes took on a deep color. The power of the World Tree passed through the boy's body into the goddess' heart, and the value in the No. 1 detector soared at an astonishing speed.

"This is..."

Under the awed gaze of the metal man, the phantom of a towering tree appeared behind the boy.

Its branches broke through the ground, extended toward the sky, and gradually covered the entire city. The Monster Lord narrowed his eyes and sensed a different aura from it.

At the same time, images vaguely appeared before Mason's eyes.

On the outstretched branches of the World Tree, there stood a beautiful goddess with long black hair, her face blurred by the black veil. She was mysterious and cold, her eyes fell on the Monster Lord, and she sighed softly.

"Thousands of years..."

"We finally created a mistake ourselves."
