The Path of Potions
Dozens of black fighter jets, shaped like bats, flew rapidly through the sky.
"President, we are about to arrive in the other world."
"Yes, everyone, take note: the world we're encountering this time might be no weaker than ours."
"Everyone, equip your twelfth-generation combat hard drives and test our latest invention in this battle!"
"Yes, President!"
All the robots and cyborgs had a device containing a hard drive pop out of their bodies.
They placed a black, one-inch hard drive inside.
The data on the hard drive began to be uploaded into their mechanical bodies.
The combat techniques and fighting moves contained on the hard drive have been thoroughly integrated into every nerve and muscle of their bodies.
They are all battle-hardened mechanical warriors, proficient in all fighting techniques.
As the fighter jets entered Shen Hui's Death World, they immediately sensed that this world was extraordinary.
"President, data analysis reveals that this world is permeated by a substance that can cause life to wither."
"And it can also subtly influence everyone's emotions."
"Ahead, signs of a city have been detected."
"Yes, everyone needs to switch to emotional control mode; everyone needs to be careful."
As these fighter jets advanced, Steam City came into view.
In the Steam City, Common have all taken refuge in their homes.
Only the city guards from the Steam City and members of the Esoteric Order of Dagon remained.
This was their first contact with another civilization, and not the friendly one they had imagined.
They came with hostility.
They watched as fighter jets, completely different from their steam technology, flew towards them.
The city guards immediately shouted, "Fire!"
Several of the tallest buildings in the city opened up their massive cannon barrels.
The boiler at the bottom of the building burns, and the energy generated drives the gears above.
Bang!
Shells were launched at the fighter jets in an instant.
Just as they were about to hit, an energy shield deployed on the fighter jets.
It directly blocked the attack of the artillery shells.
It had absolutely no effect.
Sun Jingjing laughed at the sight.
"Is Shen Hui joking? Using such an attack against a creation influenced by my technological system?"
"Hmph, this time I'll show you what I'm capable of! I've put in a tremendous amount of effort for this!"
Shen Hui, however, calmly watched all of this.
The true power of the Death World is manifested in the Eldritch Beings and fantastical Hero created by Shen Hui.
Shen Hui could unleash the Great Ruin at any time, summoning them all out to fight.
The current steam-powered civilization is merely a byproduct of Eldritch Beings tales, Hero, and the Cthulhu cult.
Although it is not powerful, it is also affected by various uncontrollable factors.
They gave birth to their own unique civilization and embarked on a different path.
So Shen Hui decided to see what level of combat strength they had reached.
The steam cannons' attack was ineffective; the city guards seemed to have anticipated this.
There was no panic.
The mechanical warriors in the fighter jets, if it weren't for activating their emotion management mode...
They're probably laughing their heads off now that such an attack actually tried to shoot down their fighter jets.
They were about to reach the skies above their Steam City.
"A mere inferior civilization, everyone, follow me on this expedition!"
The fighter jet's hatch opened, and none of the warriors carried any landing equipment.
He jumped straight down.
Like shooting stars falling, the metal on their bodies glowed red due to the high temperature caused by friction with the air.
Bang bang bang~!
With each deafening roar, dust billowed up, the earth cracked, and huge craters appeared.
These mechanical warriors all landed in the Steam City.
As the smoke cleared, one after another, cyborgs with metallic sheen and some human features emerged from within.
A red light flashed in the mechanical eyes, and all the physical data of the city guards in front of them were analyzed.
"Just a group of Common."
"Surrender! Let us take over your city, or we'll kill you all!"
Among the mechanical warriors, someone emitted a loud, synthesized electronic voice.
The city guards couldn't help but swallow hard; they were wearing steam-powered exoskeletons.
There were also steam-powered robots being manufactured nearby.
But compared to these cyborgs in front of them, they seemed far too shabby.
"You invaders! Get out of our city now! Otherwise, if you trigger Great Ruin, you will all die!"
"City guards, fire!"
All the city guards, armed with flintlock pistols, aimed at the mechanical warriors before them and began to fire.
Bullets flew out one after another, but these martial artists were even faster!
They were completely invisible, vanishing from their spot and dodging all attacks.
Mechanical warriors are still warriors at heart.
Martial artists cultivate their skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs, filling each cell with more power to unleash tremendous force.
Mechanical warriors, on the other hand, only abandoned the stage of cultivating the skin and flesh, and a small number abandoned the stage of cultivating the tendons and bones.
They replaced it with machinery, and with the assistance of machinery, they could even unleash even greater power.
Furthermore, they can incorporate technological means to enhance their combat capabilities.
Therefore, as martial artists, they possessed terrifying strength.
With advancements in mechanical technology, their explosive power is even greater.
It possesses power that transcends technology, and skills that transcend those of martial artists.
Sun Jingjing's combination of technological civilization and martial arts civilization has been very successful.
These mechanical warriors charged forward and crashed into the city guard.
The mechanical fist swung out violently, simultaneously activating the propulsion device located in the elbow.
The burst of flame gave the speed and explosiveness of this punch a terrifying boost.
Boom!
As the intent of the fist erupted, a terrifying power transformed into a wave of energy.
They blasted a group of city guards to pieces, and the buildings behind them were also razed to the ground.
The destructive power of these mechanical warriors is terrifying.
These city guards were utterly weaklings in front of them.
The remaining city guards turned pale and immediately retreated.
At this moment, a member of the Esoteric Order of Dagon stepped forward, holding a vial of potion.
"Following the recipe of Scholar Weike, let us heed the call of the great Cthulhu!"
25 grams of animal blood, a tuft of human hair, a fishbone from the Sea of Death, and three drops of mucus from Deep Ones.
If ingested by a human who has heard Cthulhu's call in a dream, they will be able to hear Cthulhu's call again.
This is a path they devised on their own, a path they call the Potions".
As they swallowed the Potions, these Esoteric Order of Dagon members whispered in their ears.
A muffled whisper immediately followed, accompanied by the sound of waves crashing.
Everything before their eyes began to distort.
The incomprehensible knowledge flooded their minds, filling their eyes with madness.
The SAN value dropped rapidly and eventually reached zero.
Something started wriggling beneath their skin.
Slurp~
Tentacles tore through their skin and emerged from their bodies.
Their appearance has changed from normal humans to terrifying monsters Tentacles in tentacles!
