Qin Ze turned around.
On the other side of the Abyss, a cyborg stood at the Sidelines, smiling as he gazed at him from afar.
His body was covered in those silvery-white insects.
The swarm of insects acted like superglue, piecing the cyborg's severed body back together.
Broken armor, wiring, parts, and even Flesh and Blood and internal organs were quickly repaired by the silver bugs.
More accurately, it was those silver bugs that replaced the damaged parts.
Qin Ze's expression was solemn.
Is it fake?
They're all broken into parts but still not dead.
Why isn't this being nerfed?
The cyborg raised its right hand, which was then covered by a swarm of silver insects, transforming into a piece of silver armor.
"Your confident demeanor before really annoyed me."
"Now, I really like your reaction and expression."
Qin Ze's entire body tensed up.
An immortal body like the Abyss Puppet?
That would be a bit troublesome.
The Dharma King said in the Local Area Network, "Let's have a verbal exchange with him for a while, then we'll turn around and head back now."
Because the horses and oxen in the engine room were pedaling so hard, the Flying Circus Man had already gone quite far, and could even see the exit.
This journey was essentially a hard-fought one.
The strange beasts in the Sea of Inversion kept pouncing on the Flying Circus Man.
Fortunately, there were some Entropy Stone left on the ship, which could still hold the shield.
Don't come back, just keep moving forward.
After a moment's thought, Qin Ze rejected the Dharma King's proposal.
We're running out of Entropy Stone.
Activating the shield any further wouldn't be enough to hold it up.
Before Qin Ze can be aided, the Flying Circus Man will be besieged by the strange beasts.
More importantly, the space outside the island is collapsing.
Flying Circus Man performers are too large to be distinguished; they would be torn apart if they encountered spatial turbulence.
"I have Brother Yuanzi's Super Teleportation."
"No problem."
This is the source of Qin Ze's confidence that has kept him calm so far.
If the Stars could teleport him out of the Maka Race world, they certainly could too.
The gray fog continued to encroach on the island, and the beast tide roared and boiled, like a chaotic and disorderly symphony.
"The world is collapsing. If we continue this stalemate, we'll all die here."
Qin Ze spoke calmly, seemingly oblivious to the shattered void around him.
The cyborg smiled slightly, "No wonder you have such courage."
" Apostle of the Desolate God."
"Is that what I call you?"
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.
I see.
He wanted the Relic of the Apostle.
However, Qin Ze couldn't understand how the other party could recognize his identity based solely on an enchanted sword.
The cyborg's smile grew wider and wider.
"I never expected that the Desolate God would have Apostle."
"What surprised me even more was that the power of the Desolate God was indeed as strong as recorded."
"Now no one will bother us anymore, and everything you have will be mine."
The silver swarm had repaired his wounds and covered his entire body.
At this moment, the cyborg, clad in silver armor, resembled a moonlight swordsman.
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "How did you find out?"
The cyborg said, "There isn't a single clue that can escape the Intelligent Brain's scrutiny."
"The crimson Divine Markings on your sword have already betrayed you."
"Apart from the Desolate God, no other ancient god possesses such Divine Markings."
Qin Ze gleaned some unusual information from the cyborg's words.
Divine Markings are the source of the Apostle's divine power.
The cyborg only knew the Divine Markings of the Desolate God and the Ancient Gods.
This suggests that other gods did not have Apostle.
Qin Ze then asked, "Are you also Apostle?"
The cyborg said calmly, "Let me introduce myself. Standing before you is the Apostle of the God of Machinery."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless phantom images of gears and mechanical arms appeared behind the cyborg.
Immediately afterwards, pale yellow patterns appeared on the surface of the silver armor.
The gears behind it began to spin rapidly.
The left-right and up-down robotic arms place and install various mechanical modules onto the cyborg.
Those mechanical modules of various shapes were originally dim, unseen shadows.
It can turn into a physical object the moment it touches the semi-mechanical object.
In an instant, the cyborg was assembled into a silver mech tens of meters tall, with pale yellow Divine Markings appearing and disappearing on its surface.
Qin Ze was greatly shocked.
He witnessed firsthand what it meant for machines to become gods.
"Since that's the case, then I won't pretend anymore."
"That's right, I am the Desolate God!"
Qin Ze pressed his right hand to his chest, his heart pounding, as the Desolate God Bloodline was activated.
The crimson Divine Markings spread rapidly across the body, centered on the key.
At the same time, Qin Ze activated his Beast Transformation.
A giant, crackling with thunder, rose from the ground, its entire body and half its face covered in Divine Markings.
The cyborg was overjoyed. "It really is Apostle of the Desolate God!"
"I'd like to see for myself what kind of power this legendary God of Apostasy truly possesses."
Qin Ze drew his bone sword, which was surrounded by Divine Markings.
"Look, people are going to die."
Having said that, Qin Ze swept his sword horizontally.
A hundred-meter-long blue flame slashed horizontally, accompanied by raging lightning.
While the cyborg's attention was drawn to the blue flames.
Qin Ze leaped up and crossed the Abyss, clutching the Relic in his hand.
The cyborg's alloy greatsword slashed through the blue flames.
Seeing that Qin Ze was absorbing the Relic, he did not stop him.
"Absorb it."
"In that case, all I need to do is devour your Relic."
Qin Ze quickly absorbed the Relic.
The progress bar for the Desolate God Bloodline has clearly increased significantly.
It's currently around 25%.
The Desolate God Bloodline has been greatly enhanced.
Now that Qin Ze is facing an Level Eight Martial Artist, he can be considered to have the strength to fight.
boom--
Seeing that Qin Ze had finished absorbing the Relic, the cyborg unleashed countless cannons from its entire body, launching a dense barrage of bullets at Qin Ze.
Immediately, the leg propulsion device was activated.
The cyborg, wielding a large alloy sword in both hands, sped towards Qin Ze under the cover of the barrage of bullets.
"Roar--"
The two giant thunder dragons on Qin Ze's shoulders blocked the incoming barrage of bullets and detonated them all above his head.
The already turbulent space became even more chaotic at this moment.
"Good timing!"
The cyborg was right in front of me.
Qin Ze advanced instead of retreating.
First, a Fire Element was fired.
The wall of flames was split in two by the cyborg.
Qin Ze, using the Vermilion Bird Step, had already arrived not far in front of him.
Seizing the moment the opponent cleaved through the wall of fire, Qin Ze decapitated them with a single sword strike.
Swish--
The enchanted greatsword easily sliced through the cyborg's neck.
His head flew into the air like a basketball, tracing a beautiful parabola before falling into the sea.
You've fallen for their trap.
An extremely eerie sound emanated from the headless mecha.
A dazzling white light suddenly erupted from the mecha's chest.
Qin Ze immediately sensed something was wrong.
He quickly retreated to create distance while simultaneously condensing the Black Tortoise Shield.
boom--
A pure white pillar of energy erupted from the headless mech's chest, tearing a shattered path through the sky before striking the Black Tortoise Shield.
Xuanwu's back was covered with Divine Markings, and it managed to withstand the attack.
Although he was not directly attacked, the turbulent energy flow still caused Qin Ze's blood and qi to churn.
The energy impact had just ended when the headless mech appeared in front of Qin Ze.
The alloy broadsword was raised high, and the already dull Black Tortoise Shield shattered completely.
The broadsword slashed downwards, aiming straight for Qin Ze's head.
The eerie voice from inside the headless mech sounded again.
"Now, it's my turn to behead him."
(Goo~ I'm taking a break for one chapter. It's a holiday, so I'm taking a rest too.)
