Chapter 584 Hours to Eat and Clean Up
Black, oil-like tentacles gushed from the wounds of the half-dead soul, coalescing into clumps and climbing upwards.
Within the opened blockade, a black stone slab, 1:3:9 in size and as tall as a person, was slowly shimmering with an invisible red and green glow.
The tentacles quickly enveloped it, pulling the stone slab downwards. Just before it hit the floor, a 'Gate of Stars' opened.
Lin Heng caught Hughes, and Faraday's body slowly slid off the center console seat. Unfortunately, the dim electronic eyes did not reveal any regret.
After the Shoggog was placed in the center console seat and the cables were connected to the open interface on the stone slab, everything began to get on track.
"Receiving data... Cleaning personality backups... Removing Trojan viruses... Adjusting pathway structure... Issuing logical instructions... Cracking inventory table... Progress... 1%"
Ah~ Shoggoth thanks Lin Heng, Shoggoth thanks his old friend, Shoggoth has finally returned to the embrace of the Martian God!
"Let's get to work, each taking what we need. Next time we meet, it might not just be a clone."
"Beep...beep...Shoggoth understands...Progress 2%, currently performing keyword search—portal."
To ensure the Starlight Ritual wouldn't be interfered with by the real world, the Church of Fuxing did not construct any large-scale teleportation devices.
The mucus slid back into Lin Heng's mouth, and his fair skin finally regained some color.
You can't kill two birds with one stone without paying a price. Although there's some backlash, it's perfectly acceptable.
[Cracking the Eldar Treasury Key]
"5%, retrieved inventory of mutated spirit bones 3448kg, pure spirit bones 844kg, refined gold ore with a content of 0.3% to 0.55% kg, refined gold 675kg, enough to repair the elven armor."
"Keep cracking it; I want to empty the entire inventory of the Mechanical Cult."
"The crew has been notified to begin moving the equipment."
Lin Heng breathed a sigh of relief, but only quietly paused for a moment to ponder, calculate, and divine, for he was about to face the Word Bearers and the Demon.
Without a portal, he could only jump out of the warp via a warship, so joining forces with the Shoggoths wasn't too difficult.
What he was truly worried about was himself... He was afraid that when he finally returned to the real world, he would find that he was no longer the person he used to be, and that he was no longer a member of the real world.
When the veil between reality and illusion truly needs to be torn apart, the moment it falls will likely bring a wave of chaos...
"So there's still no news from Faraday's Mechanicus?"
"No, sir."
"And what's going on with Dracula's Castle?"
"Reporting to you, sir, all we know is that it was a very strong psionic storm, but the demons wouldn't let us see the details."
"Damn it, Faraday isn't saying a word, and Dorling isn't replying either. Damn Chaos! Damn demons! Damn Mechanicus!"
"Clang".
The tabletop of the Iron Fist Hammer was dented, and Cole Fallon was furious, feeling as if the Terminator armor was a straitjacket, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
How could someone leading such a team possibly accomplish the task of protecting his son? Why is it that everyone responds so readily to Irebas's call, but there's no one to follow suit when it comes to him?
"Phew... Repair shop."
"The factory...the factory failed to take down the adults. They're all dead, whether it's the outside army or the hunter squad that went in, they're all dead."
There were...very obvious remnants of psionic energy, and a mechanical engine; the heat source was comparable, and most of the legion died at its hands...
"Ah!"
Fallon's large hand gripped his subordinate's head, the iron claw scraping against the helmet with a teeth-grinding sound.
Fallon's missing lip twitched incessantly. If this guy hadn't followed him for so long, he would have sent him to meet the Chaos Gods on the grounds of disrupting morale.
"What do you mean?"
"My lord! My lord! I am not implying that the Black Mechanicus has rebelled, but rather that the demon we are pursuing may, like Vashtor, also know how to control machines."
Fallon released his subordinate, thinking it wasn't impossible.
Abaddon was severely weakened after his battle with the Lion King, and Vashtor may have disappeared without a trace.
With some of the chaotic demons falling apart and leaderless, it seems they've returned to their old ways.
But no matter what, Faraday and Dorling would definitely not agree, but what is the current situation between the two of them?
"The 3 Word Bearers that were previously prepared to be dispatched should immediately disembark and be assigned to defend the Heart of the Demon."
Bring the hound from the space station. The Royal Guard will accompany me to the Demon Castle and the Mechanical Temple. Mobilize all residents to search for traces of the intruders. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Do you understand?
"understand!"
[Automatic Machine Workshop Unlocked]
The massacre in the main city of Jiaofuxing began, starting from the chaotic strongholds and radiating outwards layer by layer.
The powerful figures in the city thought that their secret dealings had been discovered by the top leadership, and one by one they sacrificed pawns to save the king, instead confessing their own problems.
However, Fallon has no time to punish them right now. At this moment, he is leading five companies of Word Bearers to Dracula's Castle to question the Spirit of the Demon.
The hound leaped out first, and the heavy, chaotic energy in the air made it sneeze several times.
"My lord, please wait a moment, Demon Lord..."
On the helipad of the Crystal Tower, the mutant butler kindly tried to stop them, but this time Fallon wasn't so patient.
"Kill him and hang him on the wall."
"Ah!"
The One Who Conceived Words smashed it to pieces with a single iron fist; even though it had undergone chaotic transformation, it was still a body of flesh and blood.
But what if it's a demon? Hordes of evil gods' minions swarm in from the corners, and the horned demons are about the same size as Astartes.
The Word Bearers immediately formed a defensive line, swords drawn, with the Flesh Hounds caught in the middle, and the alliance seemed on the verge of collapse.
The light weapons arsenal has been unlocked.
"Dorling! Come out here! Damn it, what's going on in the factory! Why are there still mechanical engines? What happened inside?!"
Faron shouted into the passageway, his voice echoing back and forth, causing the crystal to gradually brighten as it charged.
“What happened? Oh, little Fallon, it must have happened that even Dorling couldn’t have imagined.”
Male voice, female figure, exposed "instruments", purple skin.
"The Great Chaos Demon, the Guardian of Secrets—Zalalk."
The horned demon made way, and the fleshhound growled as it retreated to Fallon's feet.
Fallon's pupils contracted, and his muscles tensed instantly. This wasn't a place for a dissolute lord (the emperor's son), so why was the Keeper of the Secrets here?
"Ah~~~ You still remember me? I'm so glad we can go have a drink right now. The strong guy next to you can come too."
The Keeper swung its three pairs of giant bellies, gleefully trying to lure the powerful warriors, but they remained completely still, clearly having something more worthwhile to do.
"What do you mean? Why didn't the Spirit of the Soul come to us when it encountered some problem, but instead summoned you?"
The mechanical engine warehouse has been unlocked.
"It's a big problem, a problem that you can hardly solve. This is actually protecting you and your subordinates."
A deep, honest voice echoed from the passageway, and both the Keeper of the Secrets, Zalalk and Fallon, looked over at the same time.
Then, flies swarmed around, pus flowed everywhere, and the stinking, chaotic demon wriggled its bloated body and grinned as it approached.
"Vinamus the Great Impure One!"
"Hello, do you need some actual evolution? The loving father always brings perfect blessings."
Faron was dumbfounded. It was already rare enough to see a powerful demon, but today two from different factions had appeared. Who on earth had broken in?
"What about Dorling? Where is he now?"
"Oh!"
Just as Fallon asked the question, the entire crystal tower trembled, as if something had exploded.
Immediately afterwards, a series of clanging and clattering sounds, accompanied by thunderous roars, rushed upwards.
The Word Bearers and lesser demons were on high alert, for they knew what the newcomer's identity represented.
Heavy weapons depot unlocked
"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull offering to the skull seat! Who is the intruder? Who is the intruder!"
With a loud crash, crystal shards were smashed and scattered in all directions. Crimson blood wings burned with scorching flames, and the robust body was even taller than the Keeper of the Secret and the Great Impure One.
"Bloodthirsty Madman—Brad".
He disliked the Astartes who kept secrets, was wary of the Great Impurity, and was truly vigilant towards the Blood God and the Great Demon before him.
The mere sight of the opponent exuding a bloodlust was enough to stir one's heart; even the seemingly detached and indifferent Huaiyan was, in essence, a warrior.
"Remain calm and silently recite the Word of God!"
Fallon was sweating profusely. The three-headed demon was so close; if a conflict broke out, it wouldn't be as simple as just a few people dying.
However, the three great demons, each with their own corner, were clearly wary of the other party. They did not take any action, but they spoke first.
"Summoning ugly, boring, fat, and unsexy amoebas is boring enough, why send a vulgar, dumb giant on top of that?" the Keeper of the Secrets said.
"Appreciate true art..."
I'll kill you!!!
Vehicle warehouse unlocked
Before the Great Impure One Vinamus could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the bloodthirsty madman Brad, who soared into the sky.
The Keeper of the Secrets, Zalalk, hurriedly summoned his weapons, preparing for a major battle.
A crystal wall separated the battlefield, and at the top of the wall, feathers flew in profusion, and the ever-changing Demon Lord, Duo Ling, appeared.
"They've finally arrived, Dor..."
"What's wrong, you big oaf? Weren't you going to kill me? Why are you blocking my way with that thin wall?"
Zalark pressed his butt against the crystal wall and writhed from side to side. The irregular crystals refracted hundreds of images, making everyone's nerves pound wildly.
The silent, bloodthirsty madman was the most worrying. Fallon, who was standing on the same side, even took a few steps back, fearing that the madman would turn his anger on them because he couldn't hit him.
"Quiet down, everyone. I went to great lengths to bring you here, not to fight amongst yourselves."
That damn guy is no ordinary person... those two weapons seem to have appeared on the battlefield between Abaddon and Al-Jonson.
The four deities seemed to be focused on this figure, but it didn't resemble its usual appearance.
Duo Ling was very sincere, but the others did not seem to believe him easily.
"That's great! It looks like a formidable creature. I'm going to kill it and offer its head to the Blood God!" Brad exclaimed happily.
“I want to kill it too, or be killed by it,” Lazark said excitedly.
“Then its corpse must have some kind of characteristic, and I can create an even greater strain,” Vinamus said.
"I don't care who it is, I just want to make sure the Starlight Ritual runs smoothly and that the Demon Heart is not destroyed."
Fallon stepped forward, and even in his Terminator armor, he looked tiny among the group of demons.
The Elf Armor has been repaired.
"Damn it, you guys have no idea how important this guy is... As long as he appears, he will definitely cause unstoppable chaos."
However... it seems to be getting out of control now, and that's the most crucial point. It seems to be embracing the warp... which shouldn't be happening.
The other three archdemons didn't care about Dorling's concerns; they were more concerned with their immediate gains. However, Fallon did take his advice to heart.
Where is that guy?!
"Something is blocking my divination, but I know this guy hasn't left the Church of Fuxing yet."
By going back in time, I discovered that the factory assembly line had one less part and one more mechanical engine than before.
Only the Great Sage Faraday had the ability to create such a construct, therefore, Faraday must have known some inside information.
Faraday was very nervous and quickly dialed the Mechanicus communication channel. Fortunately, this time Faraday did not refuse to answer.
[Ship location has been locked]
“Faraday is here.”
The image of the Great Sage appeared on the Thinker, and Fallon's brow immediately relaxed.
"Great Sage, this is Fallon. What's going on with the mechanical engines in the repair shop? Don't hide anything, and where is that intruder?"
“Faraday wouldn’t hide it, he just delayed the delivery of the message.”
Faraday was only trying to protect the monastic property when he unexpectedly encountered the Demon Lord Dorling and an intruder who was imitating him.
That guy is really powerful; both I and Demon Lord Duoling were ambushed.
"It's a clone! I knew it was you, and I wasn't lying!"
The spirit's feathers were ruffled, and its unusually angry expression was rarely seen. Everyone suddenly realized that what this guy said was actually true, and they couldn't help but feel curious about the intruder's identity.
"What then?"
"As you can see, Faraday's engine didn't defeat the opponent; instead, it stole the factory's processing center. The purpose and use are unknown; it seems like they're looking for something."
"Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner!"
Upon hearing this, Falun Gong members were furious and wanted to slap their thighs. They were truly a bunch of scoundrels for keeping such a thing a secret.
Moreover, it's not uncommon for them to be after the Demon Heart, or at the very least, to disrupt the Starlight Ritual.
"All that was done before was a smokescreen. That guy might have already found a way to infiltrate the Starlight Ritual site."
He's definitely here for the Demon Heart. He wants to seize this artifact and use it to fight against all of you!
"Great Sage, open the underground passage! I need to examine the Demon's Heart!"
