After an unknown amount of time, the black beasts ceased their attack.
A bloated mass of flesh and blood clung to a giant, black sphere hundreds of meters in diameter, and arrived.
The Light Emperor and the other three Titans, lacking any martial spirit, continued their attack on the motionless black behemoth.
Ping!
*Pfft!*2
Three black, cylindrical objects burst forth from the giant sphere, their sharp tips piercing the four colossi before exploding inside them in a sea urchin-like shape.
The Light Emperor was split apart, and the three Titans completely lost their life force and were swallowed into the black sphere, becoming one of them.
One strike instantly killed three beings comparable to level eight!
"The power of the gods is terrifying."
The High Priest of Time muttered to himself, "Then... let's use 'that thing'."
"Yes!" The many level seven or eight mechanic elders behind him responded in unison.
"What is that? What does 'that thing' mean?" The city lord standing behind him looked completely bewildered. "Why do you all know about it? I, as the city lord, have never even heard of it?"
A mechanic muttered, "After all, the elders serve for life, while the city lord's term is only 15 to 20 years."
City Lord: "..."
The residents of the steam city once again experienced despair after hope, and they hid in the escape tunnels opened in various corners of the city and went underground.
Of course, Huo Yang, who was in the dungeon, didn't receive this treatment.
The place where he was imprisoned was not only lawless, but also had no windows. He could only feel the earthquake shaking, which made him wonder if there was some kind of large-scale event on the ground.
For example, not taking him to a party.
——
"Interesting." A heavenly voice rang out, light and gentle, it was hard to imagine what kind of woman with such divine beauty could possess such a divinely bestowed voice.
But in reality, the sound came from a bloody gash on that stinking lump of flesh!
It felt as if a deep cut had been made into the body, and then the wound had been forcefully torn open to reveal a bloody gash. No blood flowed out; only the tender, dark red flesh grotesquely writhed.
Before Him, a real mechanical behemoth slowly and successfully transformed.
There was no steam rising; instead, there was only thick black smoke containing highly toxic substances.
"Three thousand five hundred years ago, we discovered a superior alternative to the steam engine—the internal combustion engine!"
An elder mechanic murmured, "While internal combustion engines are highly efficient, they cause profound environmental pollution. Besides, steam engines can already power the Colossus, so there's no need to use internal combustion engines."
"At that time, according to the conjectures of those great predecessors, even if the God-King of the ancient divine court were to be resurrected, it could still rival it!"
"Although the power you've demonstrated proves us wrong, at least it can still fight a lower-level god of the ninth rank!"
The entire steam city then took the form of a colossal eighteen-legged metal beast!
It is over two hundred li long, one hundred and forty li wide, and forty li high (ten li thick, supported by six legs for thirty li).
Thick smoke billowed out from all the vents.
The vast majority of its internal combustion engines are used in jet propulsion systems to reduce weight; otherwise, it would be impossible for it to support such a massive object.
This colossal steel beast strode toward the pitch-black sphere hundreds of miles away, leaving behind a crater large enough to bury a giant god.
"The culprit who has repeatedly destroyed and reaped the lives of creatures on this land!"
Someone roared, "Today, I'll show you that humans are not to be trifled with!"
...
(I suddenly realized that I have enough words left to write the extra chapters, so I'm marking this book as completed for now, but I will still continue to update the extra chapters and answer some questions about filling in the plot holes.)
