Witch Wind

Chapter 241 Chapter Mechanical Immortality (Part )

The capital of the Kingdom of Yingji.

Xing Tianli transformed into a standard image of an English native with gray hair, green eyes and white skin. He mixed in the dense crowd and looked coldly at the abnormality in the sky.

Heavy, hexagonal steel plates with a side length of ten feet floated in the air, covering the entire King of Yingji. Despite the bombardment of countless naval guns, these steel plates flashing with witch light remained motionless.

Not only that, the shells fired from these naval guns also produced strong beams of light, and their power after explosion was actually more than a hundred times weaker than Xing Tianli had remembered?
"Weird!" Xing Tianli looked around and suddenly found that near the port, in the streets and alleys, and on the tops of tall buildings, there were many strange guys mixed in among the citizens who were watching the battle and cheering for the Kingdom of Yingjishi.

Their bodies are mainly flesh and blood.

But their bones, internal organs, and even part of their brains have turned into metal.

But compared with those "high-tech, science fiction" men in black, these guys with mechanized bodies are extremely wild and barbaric in their mechanical transformation.

Of course, this wildness and barbarity is mainly reflected in the fact that all the mechanical structures in their bodies are purely mechanical structures, without the kind of exquisite "artificial brain" or "artificial intelligence" in the bodies of the men in black.

Purely mechanical, no electronics.

On the mechanical structures in their bodies, one can see a large number of witchcraft runes densely inlaid together. These witchcraft runes cause extremely mysterious changes to the machinery in these guys' bodies.

Some of the metal structures in their bodies were originally just ordinary refined steel components, but under the influence of these runes, these ordinary refined steels exhibited physical properties comparable to ordinary spiritual gold.

When he arrived at the Yingjishi Royal City, Xing Tianli felt that powerful and majestic Taichu Qi, which also carried some special turbid impurities, was continuously blowing out from somewhere. The concentration of Taichu Qi in the entire Yingjishi Royal City was more than a thousand times richer than that of the small valley outside Baidanfeng City where Liu Jing and others appeared.

The mechanical structures inside these guys' bodies were glowing with faint runes.

The witch runes continuously absorbed the primordial Qi, like water dripping through a stone, slowly but steadily upgrading the metal machinery in their bodies, making them increasingly powerful and evolving with every breath.

After meeting Liu Jing, this little girl who drank recklessly and indulged in delicious food every day, became outspoken when drunk. Xing Tianli also learned a lot about the inside story of the Black Sun Church, the so-called Immortal Church.

The three women of Liu Jing represent the most orthodox faction of the Black Sun Church. They also inherited the orthodox witchcraft methods. They usually refer to themselves as the "Black Sun Church".

And in the Church of the Black Sun, there is a heretic faction that pursues "eternal life and immortality". They call themselves the "Undead Church". In pursuit of immortality, they "abandon their physical bodies", use witchcraft and magic, and use various "continuously replaceable metal components" to gradually "replace their fragile physical bodies".

They call the process of transforming the physical body into machinery "mechanical ascension".

The people of the Undead Church sometimes call themselves the 'Undead God Cult' or the 'Eternal God Cult' in order to show off. They firmly believe that as long as the mechanical components they integrate into themselves are strong enough, they can become 'gods' sooner or later!
In the huge city of King Yingjishi, within Xing Tianli's sight, among the hundred citizens, there are probably three or five such undead cultists with more or less mechanical components mixed into their bodies.

Among them, the weakest ones have only had their limbs and bones mechanically modified. The material they used for the modification is just ordinary hundred-refined steel, but their physical strength is already comparable to that of physical cultivators in the Spirit Refining and Anti-Void Realm.

And in the air, the aura emanating from the thick steel plates stacked together had completely reached the Golden Immortal level.

The deep and heavy witch light is flickering.

Xing Tianli noticed that it was not that the power of the naval guns had been reduced, but that 99% of the power of the naval gun explosions was absorbed by these steel plates. These strange steel plates were like black holes, constantly absorbing the huge amount of explosive power. As rounds of naval gun bombardment continued to fall, countless dense forehead witch patterns continued to light up on the back of the steel plates, that is, the side facing the citizens below.

The witch pattern flickered, and a little bit of strong light splashed out. Xing Tianli saw that the back of the steel plate was shining with dots of light, clearly forming a complex and dazzling star array pattern.

Absorb, devour, transform, and then - radiate?
Xing Tianli silently pondered over this witch formation, which was a very mysterious formation, with a bit of the charm of "shifting the stars" and "borrowing force to fight force". In particular, these steel plates were still madly devouring the free Taichu Qi in the air, which made the power of this witch formation even more incredible.

Finally, as dozens of rounds of bombardment ended, a piercing and clanging metallic sound resounded throughout the entire Yingjishi Royal City: "It is impolite to come and not return. You heretics, do you know the power of machinery? Do you know the beauty of machinery?"

High in the sky, huge steel rods lit up at the same time.

In just a blink of an eye, these steel plates became extremely hot and blazing, and the light was as bright as the sun. A wisp of Xing Tianli's immortal soul power swept across a piece of steel plate, and the temperature on it soared to tens of millions of degrees in just a breath.

Fortunately, the large and dense runes on the surface of these steel plates flickered like water waves, isolating the terrible heat. Otherwise, even if these steel plates were a full mile from the ground, all the Yingji people below would be reduced to ashes in an instant.

The sound of "clang clang" breaking through the air was endless.

Rays of white light that seemed tangible burst out from the thick steel plates.

These white lights condensed 99% of the power of the previous dozens of rounds of bombardment, and even more of the terrible heat transformed by the huge amount of primordial Qi absorbed by the steel plate itself. Tens of thousands of strong lights shot out, and in an instant, they focused on the giant ships.

The giant warships controlled by the men in black shook in unison. The furnaces inside the warships were running at full capacity. The majestic celestial-level energy stirred up the defense modules. Light shields several feet thick rose into the air and surrounded the entire ship.

A sharp friction and vibration sound was heard. On the sea surface east of the royal city, a large amount of water vapor rose. The rapidly spreading water vapor rubbed against each other, and the high-temperature steam vibrated violently. The terrible explosion spread in all directions. In the huge explosion, pieces of light shields were broken, and the terrible high-temperature light column hit the giant ship, easily penetrating the armor of the giant ship.

'boom'!
More than ten thousand giant warships exploded almost at the same time. The men in black saw that something was wrong, so they did not hesitate and directly issued orders to let all the giant warships explode at the same time.

In the east of the city of Yingji, the ocean within a radius of thousands of miles evaporated in an instant. The sea water tens of thousands of feet deep instantly turned into steam and rushed into the sky. The violent shock waves, as well as the despairing high temperature, flames, and strong light, surged and raged in all directions at a speed unimaginable to mortals.

With a clanging sound, countless hexagonal steel plates fell rapidly from the sky, forming a protective wall in the eastern part of the royal city that was ten miles high, ten feet thick, and hundreds of miles long from south to north.

Afterwards, more steel plates whizzed down, completely covering the area where the fleet self-destructed in the center.

The torrent of destruction caused by the self-explosion of tens of thousands of giant ships hit the steel plates fiercely.

The steel plate vibrated with a humming sound, and countless witch patterns flowed. The steel plate was like a black hole, swallowing up the incoming torrent of destruction. Inside the steel plate, exquisite witch formations were running frantically, and the violent torrent of energy was constantly decomposed and quickly stored in the steel plate and in small and exquisite furnaces.

The strands of energy, through the transformation magic array, turned into strange energy that contained unpredictable vitality, nourishing these steel plates bit by bit. After swallowing this wave of destruction, the texture of these steel plates became stronger than before.

Although the improvement is minimal, it is terrifying.

Xing Tianli secretly estimated that these steel plates already had the power of a perfect golden immortal weapon. If they could not be destroyed in one go, these steel plates would be able to continuously strengthen themselves from wave after wave of attacks, and all attacks would become nutrients for their growth and strength.

If this continues, the prospects for this kind of growth will be simply unpredictable.

“The Undead Church!” Xing Tianli frowned. According to Liu Jing’s drunken words, this branch of the Black Sun Church was known for its extremism within the Black Sun Church. The Black Sun Church was even more of a heretic and evil spirit in that world. The Undead Church was the sworn enemy of the Committee and the Pantheon!
Now, the people from the Undead Church have come to help the Committee fight the Pantheon?
As expected, there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests?
Xing Tianli curled his lips. It was true that there was nothing new under the sun!
A long time, a long time.

The destructive torrent produced by the giant ship's self-explosion finally released all its energy. Along with the terrible roar of waves, thick water walls collapsed in all directions, madly filling the thousands of miles of sea area that had been evaporated by the giant ship's self-explosion.

In the sky, countless evaporated water vapor cooled and turned into thick dark clouds. A terrifying thunderstorm that could not possibly occur in nature formed in an instant. Fist-sized raindrops densely connected together, falling from the sky with a deafening roar. This scene could be called a world-destroying natural disaster.

However, with the steel plates blocking the way, no matter whether it was the terrible rainstorm or the collapsed water wall, the shocks caused by all of them could not cause too much damage to the Royal City of Yingjishi and the island where the royal city was located.

That is to say, some rivers outside the city suffered sudden floods due to the sudden rainstorm, and some mountains where the rocks were loosened by the shock wave had a little mudslide, that's all.

high altitude.

Very high altitude.

A group of men in black gathered together in a messy manner.

Even though they were fast, they were almost caught in the explosion. Their eyes flashed with electronic light, and they stared at the heavy steel plates with wide eyes, trying their best to analyze the mystery.

"Urgent request for authorization, we have encountered an extremely dangerous enemy... Urgent request for authorization, requesting a devastating strike!"

Cold and rapid electronic sounds continued to be heard from the body of the black-clad man who was leading the group.

Then, Maria's cold voice came faintly from his body: "Application rejected... This world has not yet built a destructive strike system... Application rejected."

After a moment of silence, the leading man in black sighed and said, "Mission codename, destroy Yingjishi... Mission failed, retreat."

The men in black were about to evacuate. In the eastern part of the royal city, thick steel plates were lifted into the air. With a low roar, the hexagonal steel plates were quickly pieced together. Countless very fine rays of light flashed on the steel plates. The steel plates broke apart, and countless fine gears and other complex mechanical structures were rapidly rotating inside the steel plates.

Along with the harsh sound of metal collision, a large number of mechanical components stretched out and connected to each other. Finally, countless thick steel plates turned into a metal platform with a radius of dozens of miles in the void.

In the city of Yingjishi, dozens of streams of light rose into the sky from the royal palace that covered an area of ​​nearly a thousand acres.

Dozens of men and women, several meters tall, with burly and bloated bodies replaced by a large number of metal components, and their bodies were covered with large pieces of metal armor. Inside the exposed metal armor, various gears, slide rods, pumps and other mechanical components could be clearly seen running rapidly. They surrounded a man in the middle who was ten meters tall and incredibly strong, and slowly rose into the sky.

'Boom'!
The man in the middle was very fat, his entire body made of mechanical components, only his head barely maintaining a human form. However, on his head as big as a water tank, there were twenty or thirty mechanical eyes densely embedded, each flashing with electric light of various colors. The man fell heavily on the giant metal platform with a radius of dozens of miles.

Countless extremely precise metal components were wriggling like the tide. In the middle of the metal platform, there was a large pit with a large number of flashing pipes. The man's body broke apart, and countless metal pipes and metal tentacles extended from his body and quickly connected with the pit.

'Buzz'!
A metal tower with a diameter of ten feet and a height of several miles appeared on the platform.

The man's head was embedded in the center of the tower, and dozens of eyes simultaneously emitted miles of lightning. Along with the dull sound of metal collision, a large number of extremely precise metal components around the platform squirmed, and then hundreds of giant metal arms that were more than ten miles long slowly stretched out with the dull sound of thunder.

Among them, there were two particularly thick and long metal arms that penetrated directly into the thick clouds in the sky.

Countless brutal thunder dragons bombarded the metal arm fiercely, and countless witch patterns appeared on the metal arm. The terrible electric energy was instantly absorbed by the metal arm, turned into energy reserves, and sent into the huge metal platform.

"Little ones, don't run away, come and merge with me, Wuchan!"

The huge, bloated head of a man with drooping cheeks that looked like two meat bags swaying from side to side was laughing loudly, with extremely greedy and crazy lights flashing in his eyes as he stared straight at the group of men in black.

"Your bodies are very interesting. Half machine, half flesh and blood? Ah, your flesh and blood are perfectly integrated with the machine? The metal in your body actually has life?" The fat man shouted madly: "How did you make metal come to life? I have to admit that in some aspects of the way of machinery, you are far superior to the Immortal God Cult."

"I am Wu Chan, one of the three great bishops of the Undead God Cult."

"Wu, is the supreme Wu of the Wu clan, the Wu who dominates the world...Chuan, is the greedy one who wants to devour the world... Hey, the name is not nice, but this is my personality."

"Whenever I see good materials or good technology, I must swallow them up and use them on my body."

"Look, this body is just a clone of me, and only one thousandth the size of my original body. However, it took me many years of hard work to collect so many good materials."

Wu Chan muttered to himself, "It's all the fault of the Civilization Spark Committee and the Pantheon. They destroyed my homeland. Such a rich world was destroyed abruptly... Almost all the mineral veins were used up in the war. I had a hard time picking up scraps and piecing together enough materials."

"Hey, look at these children of mine. Their bodies are so weak and pitiful. Why is that?"

"There's not enough material."

Wu Chan laughed wildly and suddenly he shouted loudly. The whole metal platform lit up with dazzling witch light at the same time. Dozens of giant metal arms spewed witch fire and pinched the witch seal. He chanted the spell in a low voice. The terrible energy and the energy that seemed to be witch power roared and circulated. An extremely strong magnetic field suddenly enveloped the front and shook violently, causing huge waves of the sea hundreds of feet high.

The wreckage of tens of thousands of huge warships, which had been broken into the smallest fragments by self-explosion, and those wreckages that had been melted and shattered by high temperatures, rose from the bottom of the sea one after another.

There are tens of thousands of giant ships, and each of them weighs more than 500,000 tons.

Such a huge amount of metal material whizzed in, and under Wu Chan's control, it turned into two metal torrents. One of the metal torrents was swallowed up by the platform under his head - the platform cracked open a crack several miles long, like a big mouth, easily swallowing up countless metals.

Before these metal debris entered Wu Chan's body, in a short period of time, at a speed visible to the naked eye, they turned into countless sophisticated mechanical components. Gears, connecting rods, shafts, pumps, motors, fan blades, turbines... many strange and bizarre mechanical components were pieced together on the metal components connected in various places on the platform with a 'ding-dong' sound. The entire platform suddenly expanded slightly outward in volume by several feet in radius.

The remaining metal torrent flew towards the dozens of men and women surrounding the platform.

These men and women jumped for joy, and shouted madly the slogan "Long live Archbishop Wuchan". They opened their bodies, revealing countless delicate mechanical components inside, and swallowed the metal wreckage in one gulp.

A strange force field was echoing around them, like invisible arms, madly hammering the metal debris. In just a few breaths, the metal debris was hammered into countless large and small mechanical components, which quickly merged with these men and women.

Tens of thousands of giant ships and nearly half of the metal wreckage, put together, what a huge volume it is.

These men and women devoured so much metal wreckage, but their bodies only expanded by about ten feet - their bodies were mysterious in themselves, and the mystery of them was so great that Xing Tianli couldn't help but applaud when he saw it.

It's hard to imagine how powerful these guys' miraculous "bodies" are!

No wonder, according to Liu Jing's "truth comes out after drinking", now there are heretics from the "mechanical ascension" faction inside the Black Sun Church, who are suppressing them, the orthodox descendants who adhere to the ancient witch's way, to the point of suffocation.

"Catch them now!" Wu Chan shouted, "Catch them alive!"

A metal arm suddenly pointed at the men in black, and an invisible magnetic field surged. The man in black suddenly let out a strange cry and flew forward involuntarily. In the blink of an eye, he was grabbed by Wu Chan.
