Chapter 1917: Chapter 596: As Long As We Don’t Get Discovered? (6k)_2
The battle line advances rather than retreats, reclaiming the previously occupied positions and pressing into the space originally belonging to the Biological Forces.
"No wonder Saien’s Mechanical Master is here. This Mechanical Legion should be able to hold its own against the 8th Rank for some time."
"Tch, even if you acknowledge me now, I won’t hold back."
Though the high-level Mechanician from Saien said that, he was quite pleased to be recognized by such a formidable opponent.
This was one of his most powerful cards!
He poured all the wealth he accumulated since becoming high-tier into it.
He hadn’t used it at the start of the battle, solely because he was worried about Quantum invasion.
Given the intensity of the Quantum invasion earlier, the legion could fall into enemy hands at any moment. If he were to bring out this legion only to have it taken over, he’d truly suffer a major loss.
If that were the case, he would rather lose the basic legion and retreat back in defeat.
So not until now, when he no longer needed to fear Quantum invasion, did he dare to play this card.
But saying that, he also knew the Ghost Lord’s intimidation wasn’t foolproof, and remained vigilant on the Quantum Network, ready to fend off a sudden attack.
"Don’t worry, no need to hold back. Your Mechanical Legion is indeed strong, but I’ve gained new strength from my current master!"
The Mechanical Master watched as Gaye summoned a sharp-edged diamond-shaped device, reached out to touch it, and both ends opened up simultaneously. A robust energy fluctuation was released from the device, detectable on radar.
It’s here!
The Mechanical Master immediately focused entirely on the Quantum Network, preparing to handle the upcoming surge of data flow.
But as he tensed his whole body and watched the energy wave touch his machinery, unexpectedly, there wasn’t the anticipated overwhelming data flow.
On the contrary, the previously lively Quantum Network suddenly became empty.
Even the Quantum Network established by his Mechanical Army fell silent, with only sporadic information remaining.
No, that wasn’t an attack from the Quantum Network layer, but extraordinary strength from reality!
Only now did he finally realize the anomaly in his machinery.
Previously fierce and unstoppable, the Mechanical Forces seemed to have hit a pause button. Even though attacks were still being launched normally, the movement of the mecha itself was slowed by dozens of times.
Each moved as slow as a tortoise, and the internal mechanical operations were also delayed by dozens of times.
Attacks that were supposed to be aimed were dodged well before they fired, and mecha engaged in melee couldn’t even manage to attack.
Meanwhile, the Biological Puppet Army seemed entirely unaffected, rushing into the Mechanical Legion, exploiting their slow responses to easily destroy them at weak points.
Watching the legion’s reactions, along with the energy parameters read by the instruments on his body, he recognized what it was.
"This is... Space Divine Technique?!
No, the effect of this technique is too strong...
Aren’t you a believer of the Creator? Your divine arts that emulate other divine arts should be weakened!
But your Space Divine Technique is so powerful!"
......
"Ah, you’re talking about that, huh? Since you’re one of us now, there’s no harm in telling you. That is... the latest technology.
It’s a powerful divine artifact that allows us to utilize divine arts from other gods!
Though currently, the device can only use the Traveler’s Space Divine Technique."
Haier revealed to the officer beside him with a nonchalant expression.
At that moment, the officer’s mecha had been completely destroyed, with only some remaining machinery that Haier had successfully infiltrated on the network level, gaining control over. There was no channel available to leak her information at all.
Of course, to be safe, she had also layered a soundproof barrier around them.
"An abnormal object that uses the divine arts of other gods? That should be considered theft, right?
And faith can’t be compatible, can it? How would other churches allow this?"
As reinforcements for the Faith Hunter carrying out this mission, the officer was well-acquainted with church and faith-related matters, instantly spotting the inconsistencies within.
The believers looked like that, while in reality, they were quite loyal to their faith, wouldn’t worship multiple gods, and wouldn’t allow their god’s powers to be controlled by other believers.
"Of course it’s not allowed."
Haier said matter-of-factly, with a rare cunning smile, "So as long as we’re not discovered, it’s fine."
The officer squinted silently, suddenly recalling a certain keyword from Haier’s earlier words, and turned around in surprise.
"Wait, you said earlier, that’s a device? Not an abnormal object?"
"Ah, yes, it’s... a device researched by our predecessor. It’s purely a creation of magic and machinery, and is one of the highest technological representatives of our...!"
"Divine arts of gods can actually be artificially utilized?"
The officer murmured with disbelief, looking at Haier with changed eyes, now filled with longing for the Church.
If you disregard the fact that the Red Moon Church is currently being besieged by the Three Great Civilizations and purely consider the technological aspect, the Church does indeed seem like a good choice now...
However, as a member of the Faith Hunter, aware of more hidden undercurrents and histories, he knew that the Red Moon Church would absolutely not disappear because of this.
The various churches had already survived countless exterminations, but every time, the Three Great Civilizations intentionally or inadvertently left behind a remnant of power.
With the current level of concealment by the Red Moon Church, they could definitely preserve more strength when that time comes, which is why he was willing to join them.
