Chapter 128 This is Tianqin
I'm shivering?
Hearing this, Chalmers subconsciously lowered his head and looked at his arms holding the sword, and found that they were actually trembling slightly.
……Why?!
Am I scared?!
But why should I be afraid?
Before Chalmers could figure it out, the knight behind him shouted, "Deputy Captain! This guy is coming!"
Chalmers raised his head suddenly and immediately saw a clenched fist coming towards his face. He realized that this was a psychological warfare. He immediately stepped back and swept the steel sword in his hand towards Bai Wei, trying to force Bai Wei back.
But what he didn't expect was that Bai Wei was even faster than him!
When the sword had only swept halfway, Bai Wei was almost touching Chalmers, and then he pressed the hilt of Chalmers' steel sword with one hand and continued to hit him in the face with the other hand.
Chalmers could only block with his free hand.
Although Bai Wei was close to him, Chamos was not too panicked because his other arm was a mechanical prosthesis, while Gerard's arm was not. The difference in strength and power between human flesh and metal was self-evident. Chamos was already thinking about how to grab Bai Wei's fist and launch a counterattack.
However, when Bai Wei's fist hit Chalmers' open palm, there was almost no pause, like a high-speed gear train, and Chalmers' hand was like a roadblock across the track.
Naturally, he was knocked away.
Chalmers was hit hard in the face by his own metal fist. He felt a sharp pain, as if his nose was broken.
"Jellal!"
Chalmers roared wildly, but it was of no use. The severe pain on his face and the palpitations caused by being "stared at" before made his attacking movement drastically deformed. Soon, he was hit hard in the lower abdomen, and then he couldn't even hold on to the Steel Sword, and it fell into Bai Wei's hands.
"With this level, you dare to come to me?"
Bai Wei's teasing voice rang in Chalmers' ears, which made Chalmers feel even more angry and humiliated. He fought back hard, but every step seemed to be seen through by Bai Wei, and every move could be stopped by Bai Wei in advance.
Moreover, Chalmers also clearly felt that Bai Wei's strength and speed were superior to his.
But how is this possible? !
Obviously, his level of mechanization is higher! His prosthetic limbs are more advanced than Bai Wei's! Even in terms of age, he is younger than Bai Wei.
But why was he like a toy in front of Bai Wei, unable to fight back?
When Chalmers was beaten up by Bai Wei, the other knights didn't just stand there watching, they naturally wanted to come up and help.
But the problem was that Bai Wei and Chalmers were too close to each other, and the two were completely entangled with each other, which made the other knights dare not act rashly.
Because the weapons in their hands are not simple.
Whether it was the chainsword, the folding axe, or the automatic musket that he had been aiming at for a long time but did not dare to fire, they were all weapons with a very large killing range. If he was not careful, Chalmers would be taken away with him.
Obviously, this was also what Bai Wei intended.
He could have knocked Chamos down earlier, but then he would have to face those tricky weapons alone. Even though he had maximized the abilities of Jellal's body as a first-level descendant, he was still a mortal after all. If he was injured by those destructive weapons, it would not be as simple as just bleeding.
So, naturally, we have to resort to some despicable... oh no, smarter tactics.
Chalmers also noticed this, so after spitting out the blood stuck in his throat, he became ruthless and immediately yelled at the other knights: "Don't worry about me! Just go straight to, uh..."
Bai Wei didn't give Chalmers a chance to finish his words. He went around behind Chalmers and strangled him with his left arm, making him unable to speak.
"Hey, hey, hey, a fool like you should not think about being martyred." Bai Wei said indifferently, "It doesn't match your personality. It's better for you to be stupid to the end... Well, if you think being a hostage is a bit boring, then let you have a sense of participation."
Then, Bai Wei put the steel-cutting sword that he had just snatched from Chamos back into his hand, then grabbed Chamos' hand and controlled Chamos to chop down the nearest knight.
Chalmers' eyes widened.
"Ah, well done." Bai Wei said in a relaxed tone, "What a sharp and graceful strike... Can it be done better?"
Before Chalmers had time to check on the fallen knight's injuries, Bai Wei controlled his body to make a 180-degree turn, and the steel sword drew a silver arc in the air, and then drew several bright red lines.
Then a knight who had gone around behind him to launch a sneak attack also fell down, holding his chest.
“Ahhhhh…”
Chalmers' body was shaking as he watched Bai Wei use his body to attack and hurt his subordinates.
Devil, madman, damned rebel!
Chalmers used all the vicious words he could think of to curse Bai Wei, but it was of no use. His men continued to fall one by one under his sword.
He roared desperately, wanting others to ignore him and attack Bai Wei directly!
He also wanted to order the automatic musket in the distance to fire.
As long as he can avenge Kud, as long as he can kill this damn guy, he would rather go to hell with him!
But he couldn't say anything because Bai Wei had a stranglehold on his throat.
As long as he didn't speak, the knights of the Tenth Squad would not dare to act rashly.
Because Chalmers is the boss, subordinates cannot harm their boss. This is also the rule, and they have no way to violate such a rule.
When Chalmers took the risk to stop Bai Wei, he thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected it to develop like this.
Under Bai Wei's control, he was like a puppet and could only watch the knights of the Tenth Squad fall one by one under the blade of the Steel Sword.
Yes, he could only watch helplessly, because Bai Wei controlled his strength well and didn't even give him a chance to commit suicide.
Only after the last knight fell in a pool of blood did Bai Wei finally let go of Chalmers.
Chalmers knelt in the blood of his comrades, trembling all over.
"You... bastard."
He tried hard to speak, but because of the damage to his throat, he couldn't even utter the curse words clearly.
"Oh? Am I an asshole?" Bai Wei chuckled and said, "Didn't all these people die for you?"
Chalmers' body trembled again. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Bai Wei's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
"If you hadn't brought them here without knowing your own limitations."
"If you weren't too weak to be controlled by me, they would have been cautious."
"Will they die here?"
Bai Wei's voice seemed to echo directly into Chalmers' heart.
"So, who killed them, me or you?"
After hearing this, Chalmers couldn't bear it anymore and screamed loudly while holding his head.
Bai Wei looked at his reaction with great satisfaction.
Isn't this much cuter than him bawling like an idiot?
Bai Wei no longer cared about Chalmers, but returned to the locked room again and looked at the lock in front of him again.
There were no suitable tools before, but Chalmers and his men came to help. Now there are a lot of weapons scattered on the ground. Any one of them should be able to open the lock. If it doesn't work, I can use an automatic musket to blow it up. I'm just afraid of destroying the things inside.
Well, whatever you do, you have to do it faster.
Otherwise, the main members of the Skeleton Army assembled in the Tower of Babel should have reacted. Plus, there is quite a bit of noise here, so more Skeleton Knights should come here soon, and that would be troublesome.
Bai Wei's eyes kept wandering over the weapons scattered on the ground. He then picked up a chopping axe and walked to the front of the room, ready to strike with all his might. Then he heard a slight "click" sound behind him.
“Tsk.”
He turned around slowly and saw Chalmers rushing in front of him. The mechanical prosthesis had been opened, revealing a miniature chainsaw blade that was emitting a shrill whistling sound.
"Go to hell!" Chalmers roared and stabbed the chainsaw blade towards Bai Wei's head.
But of course it is impossible to succeed.
Bai Wei grabbed his hand effortlessly.
"You really can't learn." Bai Wei's voice gradually became cold. "To be honest, I still hate people like you who are as sticky as sticky candy. You can never see the truth, always go with the flow, only believe what you hear, and are unwilling to witness it with your own eyes. From this point of view, you are still far behind that guy named Kud."
Hearing Bai Wei talking about Kude, Chalmers's eyes became even more angry: "Why do you dare to mention him!"
"Because I didn't kill him." Bai Wei said calmly, "It's that simple."
"You're still making excuses!"
"Tsk, if you have a little bit of insight and look around, you will know that I am telling the truth." Bai Wei said, "I made a promise when I took over this body. You guys are not enough to make me break my promise."
He paused, then looked at the small chainsaw blade in Chalmers's prosthetic arm.
"But the only promise I made was not to kill you. As for the rest, it doesn't matter."
Bai Wei spoke lightly, but his tone brought a strong sense of uneasiness to Chalmers.
Then, he saw Bai Wei holding down his shoulder with his other hand, and then exerting force suddenly.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
Bai Wei just pulled off Chalmers' entire mechanical prosthesis!
The blood that splashed at that moment dyed half of Bai Wei's body red.
Then, Chalmers saw Bai Wei smiling at him: "Lend me your hand."
"puff".
Chalmers was thrown into a pool of blood like garbage. Before he lost consciousness, he saw Bai Wei use the small chainsaw blade in his prosthetic limb to cut off the lock on the door, then walked straight in and disappeared from his sight.
…
Gerard slowly opened his eyes and immediately smelled a strong smell of blood.
He subconsciously lowered his head, and when he saw that half of his body was stained with blood, he couldn't help but feel stunned: "What's going on?"
"Don't worry about it." Bai Wei's voice sounded in his mind, and he replied calmly, "It's just that I encountered some minor troubles on the way here, but don't worry, I have solved them."
...Is this a minor inconvenience?!
Gerard wanted to ask something, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of something else and finally said nothing. After a brief silence, he nodded: "I understand."
"Heh, your reaction is much better than that of your colleagues." Bai Wei said calmly, "Don't worry, not killing is one of the terms of the deal. Since I promised, I will do it... Although the means were a bit violent, at least no one was beaten to death on the spot."
Gerard hummed, then looked around to see where Bai Wei had taken him.
Then he saw a spire-shaped furnace in the room. There were dense wires wrapped around the furnace. These wires spread out in all directions, making it look like a small Tower of Babel.
"What is this?" Gerard asked.
"The power furnace." Bai Wei said, "The power furnace of the gear train. Those external wires are connected to the gear trains outside. This furnace is responsible for providing power to those trains."
Gerald nodded slightly, and then asked, "Why did you bring me here?"
"Haha, didn't you notice? The structure of this power furnace is very similar to your Tower of Babel." Bai Wei said slowly, "Aren't you curious? Why are things like the Tower of Babel and the gear train only available in your Tianqin? No other place can make them. Now, the truth is right in front of you. Open this furnace."
Jellal saw that there was indeed a side door on the power reactor that could be opened, so he walked forward and grabbed the handle.
Then his body froze.
For some reason, the moment his hand touched the door handle, the hairs on his body instantly stood up, and every organ in his body seemed to come alive at this moment, twisting, struggling, and resisting desperately.
As if preventing him from opening the door.
The oppressive feeling that surged up at that moment almost made him collapse.
Just then, he heard Bai Wei's voice: "Open it."
There was no room for doubt in his words.
Then, the abnormality in the body disappeared, and the noise and bustle disappeared in an instant, as if everything before was an illusion.
"Open it." Bai Wei repeated.
Gerard pursed his lips, and then began to exert his strength.
With a sharp "creak" sound, the handle of the furnace, which had been covered in dust for who knows how many years, was pulled open at this moment.
Jellal finally got to see what was inside the furnace.
Not oil, not machinery, and not coal.
But...flesh and blood.
No, to be precise, it is a piece of...an organ attached to the bones, intertwined with muscles and blood vessels?
Gerard subconsciously took two steps back. He stared blankly at the flesh and blood in the furnace. He vaguely guessed something, but still couldn't believe it: "This is..."
"As you can see." Bai Wei said calmly, "This is your master - the God of Lyra."
He paused, then spoke softly.
"It seems that my guess is correct. The city of Lyra was created by the Lyra God in his divine body... Heh, no wonder the connection between the Lyrans and the Lyra God is so deep, because you are standing on His body."
The City of Lyra is the God of Lyra? !
Even though the flesh and blood was right in front of him, Gerard still found it hard to believe. He couldn't help but whisper, "Is this really possible?"
"If you don't believe me, you can verify it yourself."
"Verify?" Gerald was stunned. "How to verify?"
"It's very simple. Do you know why gods are gods?" Bai Wei asked, "What is the difference between gods and mortals?"
Gerard narrowed his eyes. Everything in front of him shocked him so much that even his thoughts slowed down. He thought for a long time before saying, "God cannot be influenced by mortals, mortals' words cannot affect God's spirit, and mortals' weapons cannot harm God's body... Is that right?"
"Yes, that's why mortals can't compete with gods. All the means in the mortal world, whether it's magic, spells or weapons, can't have any effect on gods, not even a little bit." Bai Wei chuckled and said, "But there is an exception."
"exception?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said, "That is my body."
Jellal lowered his head sharply.
He looked at the middle finger that was slowly standing up like a bayonet.
Gerard was silent for a while, then slowly raised his hand and aimed at the flesh.
Then he stabbed his middle finger into it.
…
After a moment, all the Lyrans raised their heads, their faces filled with horror.
Because they heard.
Something screamed in pain.
