Cataclysm King.

Chapter 551 Machine Becomes a God

Honglou is the most high-end Fengyue venue in Innocence City. There are a large number of high-level card masters inside, and they are all so chaotic.

Not to mention other places in Innocence City.

The city where card masters gathered originally had all kinds of extraordinary pollution. For example, the ashes of burned corpses, sewage from alchemy workshops, and even excrement from sewers. The pollution in Innocence City is even worse. This has been a characteristic since it became a gathering place for exiled criminals, and no one takes it seriously.

This also provides the best environmental conditions for the spread of the eggs of the ‘Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta’.

The most important thing is that both the people of the Southern Continent and the aborigines of the Eastern Wasteland lack the knowledge of the Seven Natural Disaster Lords.

No one expected that the Oran Royal Court would come up with such a method of "killing eight hundred enemies and injuring one thousand" to massacre the city.

When the outbreak really breaks out today, most people in the city will be sucked dry by the mature parasites in their bodies and broken out in a very short period of time.

Now the city is filled with swarms of insects and screams one after another.

Start with the civilian areas first, and then gradually move towards the wealthy areas.

It’s not just ordinary residents who are parasitized, there are also a large number of infected people among adventurers, mercenaries, and even knights of regular legions.

People around him exploded and died every moment.

Then an overwhelming number of insects emerged from the corpse and spread again.

Gradually it gathered into an unstoppable insect tide.

The streets are filled with zombies controlled by parasites.

The emotion of fear instantly filled the entire city.

People who are alive have only one thought, and that is: survive!

Countless people ran towards the outside of the city, but too many people were infected, and escaping outside the city was almost a dead end.

And more people chose to rush towards Downing Street near the pier, because there was the nine-story magic tower of the Iris Legion, and there were hundreds of thousands of regular legions in the nearby blocks.

In an instant, gorgeous magical fireworks exploded all over the city.

Because the main army of Iris has defensive barriers in the camp and special supplies of food and water, the number of people infected is relatively small.

So the chaos was controlled as soon as possible.

Several legions immediately started fierce battles with the insect swarms in the neighborhoods where they were stationed.

However, not only were there no shortage of insects, they were killing more and more.

As long as there are psychics like human corpses, all kinds of insects can grow parasitically almost indefinitely.

The scariest thing is not the bugs, but the fleeing people!

Facing death, everyone rushed towards the dock desperately, wanting to be protected by the Legion, and wanting to take the Void Dragon Ship to the Hundred Battles City in the Old Continent on the other side.

However, among the people fleeing, there are countless people who are not aware of the various bugs stirring in their eyes and under their skin.

They had already been parasitized, but the bugs exploded later.

There are also some who are controlled by the heart bugs and attack the checkpoints crazily.

Faced with the flood of refugees, the top management of the Iris Legion first let some in. After suffering a heavy loss, they did not dare to do so again.

Countless refugees were rushing towards the pier of Downing Street at all times, and there were even legion knights and official mercenaries evacuated from other neighborhoods. They are all brothers, and they dare not fight or let go.

The conflict intensified instantly.

The Third Army Corps stationed at the dock did not dare to let people break into the dock, so they could only keep people out of the dock.

However, there are more and more bugs, and the crowd outside the pier is completely out of control. Even at the risk of being killed, they rush towards the pier desperately.

This scene not only happened at the dock, but also at various garrison camps in the city.

Obviously, the insect tide is controlled by a mysterious force.

They looked disorderly, but in fact they were completely mobilized by an extremely intelligent command, and they had planned to attack all the defensive forces in the city.

Infection proceeds in an orderly manner and slowly.

The people of the Iris Legion resisted a hundred times the number of refugees and insect waves, and fell into a dilemma in a short period of time.

At this moment, in the command room of the Third Army Corps at the dock.

A middle-aged man with a red mustache was sitting on the main seat with a serious expression.

That burly body is full of pressure, even if the eyes are slightly closed, it still gives people the invisible pressure of the demon **** closing his eyes.

This is no one else.

It is Andre, the generalissimo of the Iris Legion!

At this moment, the several legion commanders looked very ugly and were discussing the battle situation excitedly.

"Damn it, why are there so many bugs? Why don't the intelligence team know any information!!"

"This is going to be troublesome. We can't kill all the bugs. If we continue like this, there will be more and more bugs."

"Stop complaining. There is a divine fluctuation in the city. It is most likely the 'Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta'. There was information before that people from the Eastern Wasteland got a pottery from the ruins of Behemoth in the Old World. Jar, it looks like he is one of the seven natural disaster monarchs."

"."

As soon as the Seven Calamity Monarchs were mentioned, everyone in the room fell silent.

Ordinary people still don't have access to that level of news, but senior generals like them have more or less heard of the seven ancient outer gods who caused the collapse of the once powerful Talon Empire.

There are still two Seven Natural Disaster Monarchs in the Southern Continent, ‘Scarlet Corruption Seiadis’ and ‘Lord of War Disasters Monliod’, who are making trouble.

This understanding is more real.

Even the two Dragon Gods couldn't do anything to them, let alone others.

Regardless of the fact that the people in this room are all top level eight and nine level experts, there is nothing they can do to face this insect plague.

Several legion commanders had tried to hunt in the city before, but the insect tide showed no sign of decreasing.

They can kill those bugs easily.

But there are just too many.

If he really wanted to kill them all, almost all the millions of soldiers and civilians in the entire Sinless City would be dead.

It’s not that I don’t want to fight, but it’s completely meaningless to continue fighting to the death.

The results are the same.

The sinless city must fall.

There is no point in occupying an innocent city without its residents.

And by that time, not to mention the losses of their Iris Legion, the insect mother will have grown to a terrifying level with enough psychics.

If they want to evacuate by then, they may not have a chance.

When they thought of this, everyone looked very ugly.

"The indigenous king of Oran Palace is really ruthless. In order to quickly consolidate the royal power, all the people in the territory were polluted by faith. Now he even released the natural disaster god. They really thought about how to end it. ?”

"Yeah, it's really stupid! Even if the native king used this method to take over the Innocence City, he wouldn't think that he would be able to control so many foreign gods in the future, right? If he had known that he was such a fool, we shouldn't have given it to him in the first place. A chance for him to grow up."

"It's meaningless to say this now. Now let's think about how to deal with it. There are already many parasites in the military camp. If they continue to be consumed and the pollution spreads, I'm afraid the losses will become bigger and bigger."

"Yes. There are still abyss cracks and they can be blocked. But if those parasites go to Baizhan City in the west, everything for us will be ruined!"

"you mean"

"People from Innocence City must not be easily released to the Central Continent!"

"."

At this point in the discussion, all the legion commanders took a breath, and they all saw the viciousness of their opponent's move.

If they don't handle it properly, they will lose more than just Innocence City.

Insect plague is like the plague. Once it is contagious, it is out of control.

There is no need to fight this battle.

From the time when the Oran Royal Court sacrificed the mysterious insect mother, the outer god, it was destined to be a battle in which both sides would lose no matter how hard it was fought.

Killing all the infected people will not help. On the contrary, the longer it is delayed, the more people will be infected.

But no matter you give up or continue to fight, the losses will be huge.

They can't decide.

Everyone looked at Marshal Andre who was lying on the chair.

Time waits for no one.

Watching Andre keep his eyes closed and meditating, someone finally asked: "Marshal, now we"

"."

When Andre heard this, he pondered for a long time and still didn't speak.

It seems like a very difficult decision is being made.

After a few breaths, he opened his eyes and said in a deep voice without expression: "You withdraw your troops first, I will stay here. Everyone going to Baizhan City is isolated on the spot, and no contact is allowed before complete decontamination and inspection Anyone!"

Originally, he came here in person just to catch a big fish.

The little shrimps that came unexpectedly were not even counted, they were just endless bugs.

Andre knew that Innocence City had been lost.

If you stick to it, there will be no objections.

His realm is clearer than anyone else’s. The ‘Mysterious Insect Mother Kalakta’ has no subject, and every insect may be the subject.

Unless all the bugs are killed, it will continue to exist, parasitize, and multiply.

How could I do it when countless powerful men from the Tarun Dynasty failed to kill the foreign god?

In the current situation, no matter how you look at it, the new king of Oran Palace has gone crazy and wants to die together.

What he lamented was not how many people would die this time.

In his eyes, the death of lower human beings no longer resonates.

What he cares about is his promotion ceremony.

If this war ends here, he will not be able to take the final step.

But the good news is that the constraints of the Holy See are not as strong as before. As long as they can defend the Hundred Battles City, they still have a chance in the Old Continent.

When everyone heard this, although they all felt embarrassed, they all responded: "Yes!"

On the other side, Ji Xun led Reni and appeared in the chaotic city.

Lennie held a piece of humble brown bread in his hand.

A magical scene unfolded.

With this piece of black bread in hand, those insects that bite people and eat houses when they see them completely ignore them.

The two of them walked leisurely through the streets filled with festering corpses, then found a tall tower and stopped.

You can see the situation on the other side of the pier here.

Reni didn't know what Ji Xun's plan was, but he knew that he was observing the Iris Army on the other side of the pier.

There were fierce battles all over the city.

The two people in the tower were not in any danger.

The anxiety in Reni's heart finally subsided and he said, "Brother Ji Xun, what's wrong with you 'black bread'? Why don't the bugs come near us?"

Ji Xun: "A gift from a friend."

"." Reni looked at Ji Xun who didn't mean to say more, and didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, he looked at the warehouse of the Third Army in the middle of a fierce battle and asked: "The top experts in the southern continent must still be in the city. Do the people from the Oran Palace really dare to rob those things?"

Ji Xun said calmly: "The bait is for fishing. We know that the big fish will not come, so the bait is useless. To those in the Southern Continent, the nine-story magic tower is much more valuable than some Titan armor. If they really want to take something away, it will definitely not be some mechanical equipment."

Now that both sides of the game have revealed their cards, it is difficult for him to make any unexpected moves in this situation.

The only uncertainty was that Ji Xun didn't know what method Oran Royal Court would use to take those items away under the noses of Iris's top masters.

"That's it"

Reni didn't know much about the Southern Continent, nor did he know the cost of the nine-story magic tower.

But after hearing what Ji Xun said, he no longer had any doubts.

He didn't know when he started to realize that he had a sense of trust in the young man in front of him that he would not question.

It seems that whatever this person says must be the truth.

Especially after knowing that he was a friend of King Augustus, I felt completely trusted.

With the answer, Reni also thought about the follow-up and guessed: "So, do you think the people in Oran will wait for those people to start evacuating before taking action?"

"Um."

Ji Xun nodded: "Once the evacuation begins, panic will spread quickly. Everyone will no longer care about the bait and will definitely strive for the qualifications to board the ship. There are only two void dragon ships, and they cannot transport many people in one trip."

"."

Hearing this, Reni sighed inexplicably.

Even he could see that the Oran Royal Court's move was really stupid.

More than half of the innocent city was originally composed of the aborigines of the Eastern Wasteland. Not to mention the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, the consequences of this incident may even affect the entire Eastern Wasteland.

But he couldn't help with matters of that level, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The mark on Lake was placed by Ivan, so no matter where he went, he would be clearly located.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry either.

I felt inexplicably depressed when I came out, so I came to take a look.

The fierce fighting in the city has nothing to do with them, and they can't get involved.

Thinking of something, Ji Xun asked: "By the way, Reni, how is your research on the mechanical puppet going?"

Reni didn't hide it and said: "Not bad. At present, I can barely reach the sixth level of combat power. But you know, the puppet master's combat power is limited and the quality of the puppet is very high. I, a poor old man, can't get much Even if I can't afford good armors with good materials, if I can get a few God of Hunting armors, my strength will surpass that of most level 7 Hunting Armors in a short period of time. I estimate that there are about thirty of them. You can also try it”

Ji Xun was also curious when he heard this: "Oh. Can you accurately control so many high-precision mechanical puppets?"

Worthy of being a direct descendant of the family of drama gods, Reni has very high attainments in the fields of puppets and machinery.

But last time I heard him say that he could only control a few armors with the puppet technique, but now it has increased tenfold?

This strength, if the puppet is really good enough, is only higher than the orthodox Four Knights of the King.

"Well, this period of time is a bit of a chance."

Reni said modestly, and then said: "I thought I didn't have much time to live anyway, so I went to a few extra-dimensional spaces that I didn't dare to go to before. I was lucky enough to come out alive and got some things that are highly suitable for the puppet master. . Of course, the most important thing is that I obtained some consciousness fragments of my ancestors from the God of Play clan in [Gray Mist Relic], which not only allowed me to achieve great success in the secret method of "Qian Ji Puppet God Sect", but also gained a lot of inspiration."

When Ji Xun heard that it was related to the relic, he also became interested: "Oh?"

Anyway, it was okay, and the two started chatting.

Reni said: "It can be said that almost all the fantastic ideas we think of have actually been studied by some ancestors with outstanding talents. This includes mechanical prostheses. I am just following in the footsteps of my ancestors. Like It's the [Block 10 - Mechanical] path. It's actually a method of researching how to become a **** by machine. It's a forbidden technique that integrates consciousness and machinery. Of course, that path is very dangerous. The ancestor went crazy, so that part was peeled off. Cognition.”

"."

Ji Xun listened carefully, and the more he listened, the more expectant he looked.

You must know that the Xishen family has always been one of the four knight families under the king, not only because of the inheritance of the title, but more importantly, these four families are very strong!

The descendants of the strong will inherit part of their ancestors' talents in their bloodline.

Coupled with the resources of the palace, geniuses from the four knight families of the four kings have emerged one after another in the past generations.

And the information and insights left behind by countless geniuses’ research are the family heritage.

Reni talked about the opportunities he got and his experiences.

Ji Xun listened with great interest.

Only then did he realize that the mechanical technology tree in this extraordinary world had been tilted to the point where the machine would become a god.

It is said that in ancient mythology, there was a purely mechanical plane.

Like the Dragon Titan, there are countless legends about mechanical gods circulating there

Ji Xun had never underestimated machinery, but he never expected that the upper limit would be so high.

At the end, Reni also said modestly: "Of course, machinery is not the mainstream of card master civilization. The knowledge and level I currently have are far from being as powerful as the legend. It would be better if there were better research conditions. ”

As he spoke, he muttered to himself: "It's too much to hope for. I won't live long with my old bones."

"."

When Ji Xun heard this, his expression was the same, but he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

When it comes to researching equipment and materials, New World Machinery City has the best in the world.

Reni's understanding of mechanical technology and the materials in his hand make him fully qualified to be a mentor there.

As for survival

Reni's life span was mostly lost due to poisoning.

This kind of acquired life span loss can be cured by the [Sismark Holy Grail] in Chujiu's hand.

But Ji Xun didn't intend to be a bad guy.

In his current eyes, equivalent exchange is the law of the universe and the most reasonable relationship between people.

Even if they are friends.

A line of thought suddenly appeared in Ji Xun's mind.

This guy is not alone, he has a family of drama gods behind him.

Before he could think of anything to say, Reni took the initiative to change the topic, "By the way, brother Ji Xun, I have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it or not."

Looking at his expression, Ji Xun actually guessed it and said, "But it doesn't matter."

Reni had obviously been thinking about this issue all the way. Finally, he lowered his face and said, "Well, I want to ask, Your Majesty. Are you familiar with His Majesty?"

Ji Xun knew what he wanted to say and smiled: "Yes, it sounds familiar."

He knew that this topic was not easy for a minister to ask, so he said directly: "You want to ask what happened to Oran's royal power, right?"

There are not many people who really know the truth about the internal strife and power usurpation in the Oran Royal Court.

But Ji Xun is one of the very few people who knows the whole story.

Reni looked slightly embarrassed, but nodded and said, "Yes."

Ji Xun didn't hesitate and said directly: "This is a long story to say. Let's start with the illegitimate daughter of the previous King Di of Oran."

Since Chujiu has chosen the path of royal power, her experience cannot be hidden.

Even the twists and turns of the illegitimate daughter's growth experience are not a stain, but a plus point for a great king.

Ji Xun fused Chujiu with the [White Queen] source card, and later Arthur's lineage usurped power and silenced him, and later the high priest Nansu Shangtuogu... and other things related to the Oran royal power were revealed.

After saying this, Reni's expression became more and more complicated. Only then did he realize that such a coup had occurred in the Oran Royal Court.

Hearing Chujiu's experience again, he became even more angry at the current "fake king" of the Oran Royal Court.

Originally, he thought that King Arthur might be eager to restore the glory of his ancestors, so he was eager for quick success and made some unwise choices.

Now when I hear it, it turns out that from beginning to end, there was only a usurper who was greedy for royal power!

At the same time, doesn’t it mean that the Xishen clan is a rebel comrade?

For a moment, Reni immediately felt that the family's glory was covered with a layer of dust.

He was expelled because he was not as skilled as others. He never complained about his family and was always proud of his family.

But now.

The four glorious knights of the king have become the accomplices of the usurper?

The opportunity is here.

It just so happened that the exiled His Majesty Chujiu was a friend of a friend.

The old puppet master, who was at the end of his life, felt inexplicably agitated emotions in his heart, and he came up with an idea: he wanted to restore the glory of the drama **** clan!

Reni firmly believed in Ji Xun's words!

This is more than just trust between friends.

It's because he grew up in the royal court.

Although Chujiu was not yet born when he was expelled, there was no way he could lie to himself with those words.

He knows very well the inheritance rules of the royal family. Anyone who can fuse one of the two demon marks of [White Queen] and [Tyrant] is the heir to the throne!

This is the rule that the four knights must protect!

Furthermore, only the heirs to the throne recognized by the high priest can inherit the royal power!

No matter which condition, it is clear that His Majesty Chujiu is the only legitimate heir to the royal power of the Augustus royal family.

After listening to the facts told by Ji Xun, Reni's heart was filled with thoughts.

Although Reni is the loser in the family's internal strife, as a puppet genius who was hailed as a child, he is also arrogant and holding back his anger.

What’s the point of supporting a false king?

Before, I was just a lonely person, but now I know that I have a biological grandson, and the idea of ​​​​continuing the family suddenly arises again.

After all, he belongs to a family of drama gods, a family of the Four Knights of the King with high professional honors. How can he be willing to bring shame to the family and keep his descendants in the dark and loyal to the false king?

Thinking of this, Reni's old face turned upside down, he looked at Ji Xun and said, "Um, brother Ji Xun, I want to ask you something."

When he met Chujiu before, he was actually impressed by the kingly aura.

But because of the arrangement, there were a lot of things he couldn't say. Now, he has no worries at all.

Ji Xun knew what he was going to say and said, "Do you want me to introduce you?"

"Um!"

Reni nodded solemnly and performed the loyalty salute of a knight, "If Your Majesty does not dislike me, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to be loyal to Your Majesty. Even if I fight with these old bones, I will restore the glory of the drama **** family!" "

Ji Xun said calmly: "Okay. I will help you convey it."

Chujiu is no longer a loner now. Her strength and power are not much worse than those of Oran Royal Court.

But to truly be considered a king, there is still a lack of foundation.

And Reni's strength and temperament are fully qualified for the title of the King's Knight.

But Ji Xun has further plans in his eyes. There are four knights in the king's family, and he is also curious about who this old lover of Reni is.

Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly saw countless sergeants boarding the ship at the dock.

When Ji Xun saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Have you finally started to evacuate?"

Once you start to evacuate, you have decided to abandon Innocence City.

This game ended in a loss for both the Iris Legion and the Oran Royal Court.

Reni saw Ji Xun's thoughts, but he was also a little unsure and said: "Brother Ji Xun, just the two of us are going? I mean, there may be top experts coming from Oran."

He did not underestimate Ji Xun. After all, he had just reached the sixth level when they last met and already had legendary combat power.

Thinking about it now is even stronger.

However, he knew better the background of the four knights’ families.

Since he came prepared, it was not something that the seventh level could solve.

However, before he could say anything more, Ji Xun's eyes were slightly restrained. He smiled calmly and said one word: "It doesn't matter."

"???"

This understatement of "no problem" made Reni stunned.

He vaguely realized that he seemed to have underestimated this old friend?
