Mechanical Race

If what this Ogre said is true, then it's truly tragic.

But Old Wang had been deceived so many times that he had become accustomed to believing only half of what people said and keeping the other half in reserve.

"What this Ogre said is true; Zero should be able to find out about him," Old Wang thought.

In order to regain control of the Legendary and basic information about the various races in the Abyss, Old Wang immediately ordered Zero to investigate.

"By the way, you recognized me at a glance. How come there's Ogre race outside?" the modified Ogre asked Old Wang again.

"Yes! They're doing alright now, and there are a lot of them, but they don't have a strong person like you anymore."

Old Wang chuckled and said, "We have results from Zero's side."

However, what Old Wang said is true; Ogre are a race that is everywhere in the Abyss.

Although they no longer have Epic powerhouses, they have quite a few Legendary powerhouses.

If the Ogre of the Abyss were brought out, the humans of the past would have been no match for them.

"So, they still chose the Abyss!" The modified Ogre suddenly seemed a little dejected.

"What? Disappointed or unwilling to accept it?" Old Wang asked.

"What did you say?" (Refurbished Ogre)

"Are you disappointed or unwilling to accept it? Actually, you don't need to be disappointed or unwilling. Your plan is half successful."

"The entire Ogre race has indeed fallen into the Abyss, but they're doing quite well Abyss!" Old Wang.

"Are you really Mechanical Race?" the modified Ogre asked, his voice suddenly turning low.

"No, but I went to the Abyss a while ago and learned some things."

"Do you want to know how the Ogre of the Abyss recorded your story?" Old Wang said with a smile.

"Tell me," it said, taking a bite of the chicken Old Wang handed it, its expression turning somewhat indifferent.

"According to the Ogre's records, there was a bastard in their clan who betrayed them and stabbed them in the back while the entire clan was fighting against the corruption of the Abyss."

His actions not only harmed many allies but also plunged his entire tribe into Abyss.

Although life in the Abyss wasn't as tough as they'd imagined, they still thought that man was a bastard! Old Wang.

What Old Wang said was indeed all historical records of the Ogre race, without any embellishment.

Zero brought these things back from the Abyss; it told Old Wang about them right after hearing the story of the modified Ogre.

"They're talking nonsense! What's wrong with siding with the Abyss? They wouldn't have survived this Abyss they hadn't."

They even called me a bastard. If it weren't for them, would I have been imprisoned by this damned mechanical race for so long?

"How come they weren't wiped out!" the modified Ogre exclaimed excitedly.

Old Wang couldn't quite understand its agitated emotions. He looked at the now-calm modified Ogre and said:

"Tell me about the Mechanical Race?"

"Mechanical Race? Alright, let me come closer and tell you!" The modified Ogre said as it plucked the chicken from its mouth and walked towards Old Wang.

It took only two steps before suddenly transforming into a blur and charging towards Old Wang.

Old Wang instinctively dodged, only to feel a gust of wind sweep past him; he barely saw the other person's movements.

This modified cannibal is indeed only at the Legendary Ninth Rank, but its speed is the fastest among all the Legendary enemies that Old Wang has ever seen.

Even some Epic enemies aren't as fast as it, so there must be a reason it's so thin.

After dodging the Ogre's attack, Old Wang unleashed his full Mental Power, attempting to track down its movements.

But the Ogre's next attack was already upon them, leaving Old Wang with no choice but to activate the Annihilation Shield.

With a loud thud, the modified Ogre crashed into the Annihilation Shield's immunity barrier and was sent flying.

He collapsed to the ground in just one hit; this is the consequence of high attack but low health encountering counter-damage.

However, Old Wang wasn't very happy because the Annihilation Shield skill was unusable. He had already discovered that once the active skills of the equipment in this tower were used, they could no longer be used.

He suffered a loss because he used the Taiji Yin-Yang Shield's shield skill in the previous level.

Compared to shield skills, the Annihilation skill of the Annihilation Armor is obviously more crucial, and most importantly, there should be more than one enemy behind him.

"Why don't you tell me about the Mechanical Race? Otherwise, I'll really be at a disadvantage," Old Wang said, looking at the modified Ogre lying on the ground, its body deformed and convulsing.

The Ogre gave Old Wang a vicious look, then kicked its legs and died.

Old Wang: "..."

This is actually quite normal; besides, this modified Ogre has been imprisoned for so long that it's already in a state of discontent.

Even if it was at full strength, it not only withstood a huge impact force, but also suffered all the counterattack damage from its own attack.

Even Old Wang couldn't withstand that kind of damage, let alone this.

After the Ogre died, it dropped a Mythic material, [Speed Stomach], for Old Wang.

If you use it to evolve Mecha, you can exchange energy for speed, so it's somewhat reliable and can be kept as a backup.

After picking up the fallen item, Old Wang went to the 47th floor, which, like the 46th floor, also had a prison cell.

When Old Wang arrived, he saw a pile of bones in the Prison.

"Is this level against a monster like the White Bone Demon or an undead? But why isn't it moving? Is it trying to make me go over and trigger it?"

Old Wang looked at the pile of bones in front of him and stroked his chin, thinking to himself.

He didn't move, fearing it might be a trap. The Ogre he had just encountered had taught him that even Legendary Ninth Rank shouldn't be underestimated.

But after Old Wang for a while, the elevator started moving again, and he began his journey to the 48th floor.

Old Wang: "..."

"So that thing was a pile of real bones? It didn't starve to death there, did it?" Old Wang.

"Starving to death is definitely out of the question, because at this level, you don't need to eat anything, just absorb enough energy."

However, the guard on this floor may have committed suicide and was imprisoned in a small, dark room for almost endless years; not everyone can survive that.

It is often said that humans are social animals, and that they become abnormal and find it difficult to survive outside of a group. In fact, these highly Intelligence beings are the same.

Another possibility is that it died of old age. Epic Creature also have a lifespan limit. The Ogre was able to live because it was mechanically modified," Zero analyzed.

Old Wang nodded upon hearing this, but these things were not important.

It's a bit of a shame that nothing dropped on this level; we missed out on a Mythic- grade material.

With this in mind, Old Wang arrived at the 48th floor, where the boss was a real Dragon.

However... this Dragon was in poor condition; it was so old that its teeth had fallen out, and it was on its last breath.

It seems this tower has indeed been abandoned for a long time; even a long-lived species like Dragon is in this state.

This Dragon has stopped Thought; it just blinked when it saw Old Wang. This must be what's called "Alzheimer's disease."

Old Wang silently approached it and dealt with it with a gentle blow, without causing it any pain.

Regardless of whether the dragon was right or wrong, kind or evil, it's already in this state, and giving it a quick death is the only thing Old Wang can do.

After picking up the Mythic Dragon Horn crystal dropped by the Dragon, Old Wang headed to the 49th floor.

"I don't have any dragon-related attributes either. This is another useless item. Let's see what we can get in this level!" Old Wang.

Having arrived here and still not found what he was looking for, Old Wang was getting a little anxious.

With this in mind, Old Wang arrived at the 49th floor.

The tower's surroundings have changed again!

The Prison- style hall has been transformed back into a futuristic space, where a robot covered in countless tubes sits on a pedestal, waiting for Old Wang.

This robot's appearance is basically the same as the robot on the first floor at the bottom, the only difference being that it is larger.

The elevator had reached its limit, but this wasn't the last floor, because Old Wang also saw a staircase with the number "50" written on the door at the top.

After Old Wang arrived at the 49th floor, the robot looked at Old Wang with its glowing eyes Old Wang said, "You've finally arrived!"

"How do you know me?" Old Wang asked, looking at him.

"I am the Inspector of this tower, and I can freely view the situation on floors 1 to 49," the robot explained.

"Are you Mechanical Race?" Old Wang.

"Yes, but the Mechanical Race no longer exists. After the Mechanical World fell into the Abyss, all members of the race were corrupted by the Abyssal Power and lost their minds."

Unlike other races, we machine races cannot leave the Mechanical World.

I took the last Kindling of my life and hid in the Mechanical Tower, hoping to prolong my life.

Unfortunately, it still failed. Even inside this tower, Normal members of our race cannot obtain the energy necessary to survive if they leave the Mechanical World.

They too died one after another, leaving me alone to barely survive.

Old Wang nodded upon hearing this; he had already anticipated that the Mechanical World would fall into Abyss.

He didn't see Mechanical Race in the Abyss, and Zero couldn't find any records of Mechanical Race either, so what the other party said should be true.

"Why are you waiting for me?" Old Wang asked.

"After the extinction of the Mechanical Race, this tower fell into the hands of many races."

"But no one has ever been able to get here before. Your race is the only one, but I have a favor to ask of you!" the robot said.
