Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 Jenkins smiled after hearing this:

　　 "So, they are not civilizations destroyed because of the system."

　　 "But according to my calculations, if the whale does not appear, the probability of them destroying their civilization is much higher than the probability that I can defeat you tonight. Therefore, it can be considered that they are destroyed because of their own system."

　　 Jenkins shook his head noncommittal:

　　 "So are there other examples? You have witnessed so many, there should be other examples. Just as you want to delay further time."

"Purely due to institutional reasons, there is indeed no civilization that collapsed without involving transcendent power. After all, there is transcendence in this world, and it must penetrate every corner of civilization. But there are many similar examples. You know the primitive moon. ?"

"Meow?"

　　 Jenkins hasn't reacted yet, but the cat in his arms has reacted.

　　 "I know, the bright yellow moon is very beautiful...yes, very beautiful."

　　 Chocolate immediately silenced, pretending that he was not here.

　　 "In ancient times, people gained power in the process of worshiping the moon. That is the very old moon worship church. There should be some in modern times, but most of them have turned to the modern moon god."

　　 is also [the moon without light].

"Although what they worship is not a **** but only the moon, there is no deity representing the moon at that time, but there is no risk of pure worship and gaining power from this natural phenomenon. People of different races are adored by this worship. Gathering together, we have established a sacrificial society that is close to complete equality...I think you, as the righteous son, should be able to understand what I describe."

　　 "Of course, then, prosperity turns to decline?"

　　 "I like the way you describe it. Yes, people's hearts are always complicated. Too much worship makes the power of faith converge on the concept of the moon, and then naturally creatures are born."

　　 In this wonderful world, even if a spoon is worshipped by a civilized person, sooner or later, a creature can be born.

"But the human heart polluted it, so the moon fell and turned into a huge black halo in the sky, venting its anger toward the ground. The original moon disappeared and was taken away by the greedy cat that can devour everything. This is what they deserve. ."

The cat in his arms yawned. Although it literally broke out after Jenkins left, when it was in the egg, it actually knew what was happening outside, so that period of history came to it. Said it is not unfamiliar.

　　 Chocolate was born before the era when the differential engine was manufactured, so the differential engine’s description of that period of history is not very accurate, so chocolate yawns boringly.

　　 "I have also heard many stories about the civet cat who swallowed the moon. It was also an era of destruction due to greed. It seems that the emergence of disasters in history is due to the greed of the intelligent race."

　　 "Of course not, but greed is the easiest manifestation of external sins. Deep analysis, in fact, every time it is not because of greed alone."

　　 "So is there any sin that has nothing to do with greed?"

　　 Jenkins asked, his tone more soothed.

　　 "Of course, do you know ouroboros?"

　　 "Ouroboros... did not appear because of greed?"

　　 He called out his own golden ring, which was obtained in the paradox of "knowledge is gold". The specific effect is to increase Jenkins' fortune. Although it is not often used in normal times, it is undoubtedly very useful for Jenkins who has just arrived in this world:

　　 "Look, even the gift knows that the appearance of ouroboros is connected with the intention of greed and wealth."

　　 "But when the Ouroboros was born, it was not because of greed. It was an era long ago, so long that I have never seen any written records."

　　In other words, ouroboros was born near the Fourth or Fifth Era, and probably belonged to the disaster of the ancient era with chocolate.

"Meow?"

　　Chocolate felt that Jenkins had thought of it just now, but couldn't read what he was thinking.

"The appearance of ouroboros is actually quite accidental. It was born from the idea of ​​a very creative alchemist. This idea has not been passed down, but occultists and occultists have many different guesses... ...."

　　 Gearman mentioned two professions that he hadn't heard of before, which were probably the titles of extraordinary people in the past era.

"The guess I agree with is that in the process of observing the world and thinking about himself, the genius alchemist thought of [the repetition of construction and destruction], [the alternation of life and death], and thought of some quite philosophical speculations. Question. According to a short story constructed by ancient sages, one night the alchemist was sitting on a grassy field observing the starry sky, and suddenly he had new ideas about this reciprocating, constantly self-consistent world. So the alchemist was an alchemist. I created a life with my own power, a snake that can only hold its own tail forever. The creation of life is a miracle no matter in which era, but compared with the birth of that snake, the creation of life is not worth mentioning. Because of a Quite a philosophical idea, ouroboros was born."

The 2214th chapter fierce battle on the top of the tower

　　 Regarding the story of ouroboros, Jenkins thought for a while before speaking:

　　 "How accurate is this story in your opinion?"

　　 "It is less than one percent, but this is already the most ideal of many speculations. These past stories, only the gods know the truth, but obviously they will not tell me."

　　 "Then where is that Ouroboros now?"

　　 Jenkins was curious about this.

　　 "If I know, I might be able to move part of its power here, but unfortunately I don't know. There are too many unknowns in this world, and we are all too small."

　　 "Indeed, we are all too small."

　　 Jenkins also sighed, throwing the gemstone in his hand, and then to the gear man:

　　 "It's been a delay for so long, I think you are almost ready."

　　 Gear Man reached out his hand to take the lost gemstone, and put it into the secret compartment of his heart:

　　 "It's almost there, so shall we start?"

　　 Jenkins put the cat he held with one hand on the window sill. The moonlight in the real world can never illuminate the chocolate, but the moonlight in the treacherous realm can illuminate the cat's hair very well.

　　 He took off his backpack and placed it under the window, holding the Star Demon Sword in one hand, and stepped into the darkness of the moonlight.

　　 Gearman has no weapons in his hands. Both he and Jenkins are looking at each other.

　　 "Meow~"

　　 When the sound of chocolate yawning sounded, the gear man completely disappeared into the darkness.

　　 Jenkins did not try to find each other with the real eye, but closed his eyes. Then he stabbed the sword to his right front side. When the blade touched the hard object, he lifted his right foot and kicked forward fiercely.

　　 The Gear Man appeared in that position, with his arms close together to block Jenkins' feet. But under the influence of huge force, the gear man was forced to slide backward. The metal soles gripped the ground, making a harsh rubbing sound.

　　 "In the treacherous realm not long ago, I also ran into a woman who can be invisible. That talent is a real master of melee combat, and you can't even hide your evil thoughts towards me."

　　 Jenkins said that he swept forward with his sword. Although Gear Man’s arm was slightly deformed by the kick, as the arm shined, the metal wriggled like a liquid and returned to its original shape. The two hands tried to grab the blade, and it succeeded in grabbing it, but the light of the sword attached to the sword rushed straight into Gearman's head.

　　 The metal head folds back immediately, like a raised hood or skull. Humans can't do this kind of action. Jenkins also anticipated this situation, so he didn't expect a single move to kill him. The wrist rotated, and the gripped blade rubbed sparks in the metal palm. The directions of the forces on both sides were completely opposite. No one let go for a while, and with the strength of the magic sword, it was able to withstand the twisting of this force.

　　 The tricks so far have been pure power contests. Seeing the stalemate, Jenkins frowned and stomped forward. The green arc-shaped light hits the gear man like a sharp blade. The latter did not dare to pick it up easily, so his legs deformed and dispersed into countless dense small gears in an instant, evading the life force from the seedlings of the world tree. Attack.

　　 But the dispersal of its lower body means that there is no place to borrow. Jenkins did not take the opportunity to draw out his sword, but forcefully handed it forward. The sword blade rushed out of the gear man's palm instantly, and the soaring sword light left a flash of dark silver starburst wound on the opponent's body.

　　 This is a curse from the starry sky, but before the curse spread, the gear man abandoned this body, turned it into an abandoned gear ball and threw it on the ground.

　　 I didn't care about these, the magic sword that Jenkins wanted to stab again, the gear man's lower body had already been reorganized at this moment. With a punch, the metal fist was mixed with high temperature heat and inexplicable black aura. Jenkins dodged to the side, but instinctively felt that the punch was a bit wrong.

　　 looked at the fist, and with the extremely fast nerve reaction ability, this fist was actually similar to slow motion. But even so, the closer the metal fist is, the more it seems to be constantly expanding. In the end, it seems that the fist itself is larger than Jenkins, and it presses him like a mountain.

　　 "Martial arts abilities? Can you still learn the abilities of human gifters?"

　　 Jenkins was taken aback, knowing that no matter he can't avoid it now, he simply won't hide. With the right foot on the ground, the right shoulder is forward, the body first arches forward and then suddenly retracts back. At the moment when the retracted force is exhausted, lean forward with the shoulder again, directly using the shoulders and gears. Metal fists bumped together.

　　 At that moment, both sides felt that they had hit a big mountain, and the floor under their feet was stepped out of two pairs of footprints due to excessive force. The footprints spread to the surrounding cracks, which is the result of their control. If they come here again, this layer will collapse.

　　 When the two touched, Jenkins kept rubbing his shoulders, while Gear Man quickly reorganized his cracked fists.

　　 "Unexpectedly, you would deliberately learn martial arts abilities."

　　 Jenkins said.

　　 "You don't need to deliberately learn this. For me, as long as the created body is given a special structure and a unique spiritual circuit structure, some of the fighting abilities that require skill and training can be used directly."

　　 Feeling that his shoulders are almost restored, Jenkins swings the sword forward again, this time the flame spreads on the sword, and the fire finally illuminates this layer of the clock tower.

　　 The collision between the two sides just now was a metal gear. The person was injured more seriously. It was still recovering its cracked body, so it did not make a dodge action. But the magic sword approached it, and the force of a strange deflection made the sword slide like it did, avoiding Gearman's body, only rubbing a string of firelight on the side of its shoulder.

　　 "Magnetic force."

　　 It's useless Jenkins guessing, but Gear Man gave the answer directly:

"Since I arranged the treacherous realm, I naturally guessed that the old butler in the castle could not stop you. This sword might be taken away by you. It is a pity that this is a ferroalloy sword, and the fused star stone is also ferroalloy. "

　　 Jenkins swung the sword vigorously again, this time the strength was enough to keep the sword from being deflected, but the speed of the sword was affected under the action of the magnetic force, and the sword was held by the gear man again. The two sides are in a stalemate, but the head of the gear man suddenly splits at this moment. As the click of the gear rolls, a person's eye is embedded in the center of the continuously moving and inter-connected gear group, like a pomegranate seed. An eye appeared in it.

　　 "The magic eye again?"

　　 Time suddenly became slow, and the effect of that magic eye could actually interfere with time. Jenkins frowned. Although he was not affected by time, the sword in his hand did not move.

　　 "I know you are not affected by time, but this eye is specifically for dead objects."

　　 "But for the target, there should always be a limit on the power limit?"

　　The fiery red light extended from the hand, the flame of the spiral sword suddenly lit up, and the arc light that was thrown out directly smashed half of Gearman’s body:

　　 "Can you hold the magic sword, can you hold this sword?"

　　The power and history of the Star Demon Sword is completely inferior to this spiral sword, so Jenkins has the confidence to say so. Under the burning sword flame, the gear man's body was smashed into pieces like tofu, but then the remaining gears were reorganized on the ground, and the gear man reappeared not far away in just a few seconds.

　　 "Huh, immortality in another sense."

　　 Jenkins commented.

　　 The regained Gear Man stretched out his palm to Jenkins, and the magic eye had moved to the palm of his hand. Jenkins's coat immediately lit up. The golden color represented the power of Ovia's magic:

　　 "It's really despicable, trying to freeze my clothes!"

　　 Jenkins scolded, and the cat behind him smiled with his paws covering his face. It is not going to do it here. Since the core of the differential engine will appear at the end, it is natural for Jenkins to solve the simple battle. The cat has to come on stage at the most critical time, so that Jenkins can realize its importance.

　　With the inflow of spirit, the white gray coating on the surface of the spiral sword was completely burned out by the fire. The purple light traces in Jenkins' eyes flicker. Although the creation of the differential engine is different from the golem and does not have an exact energy core, the creation of the differential engine must have a miniaturized steam engine as the source of power. Mechanical creation and flesh-and-blood creation have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the biggest disadvantage of the former is that it loses power, even if every gear structure of the differential machine creation can move, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

　　The steam core of the gear man is constantly moving among the fine gears, but when Jenkins sees it, it doesn't matter how it moves.

　　 The sword light erupted on the top of the clock tower along with the fire light, and the dazzling brilliance even temporarily illuminated the citizen square. But none of the people in the square raised their heads. After all, they were just citizens simulated in the treacherous realm and would not have normal reactions.

　　 After the fire broke out, the battle in the clock tower did not end with Jenkins' victory.

　　 Jenkins held the big sword in one hand and pointed forward, but the spiral big sword was stopped by the magic sword. The gearman's hands did not touch the magic sword, and the sword flew directly in the air.

　　 "I said, I expected you might take this sword away, so I asked you to bring this sword to me."

　　 Gearman said, and then watched the magic sword be cut directly by the spiral sword.

　　 "Only the B-type supernatural can be controlled by you, so do you expect that I will let the Keeper of the Furnace convert the [Fire Sword of Sin Karma] into a gift?"

　　 "I did not expect the Keeper of the Forge to be so bold, but what about it?"

　　 After severing the magic sword, the spiral sword continued to move forward, melting most of the metal structure of the gearman's head, and then crushing its body like a rotten one.

　　 Jenkins is not happy because of this. The special alloy of the differential engine is definitely not such a fragile thing.

The 2215th chapter is evenly matched

　　 heard a click~ in a daze, and then looked at the mechanical structure behind the huge dial on the side of the platform with the cat on the windowsill. Accompanied by the noise, the brass-colored light gathered in the depths of the gears and levers. A huge circular emblem resembling a dial appeared almost close to the back of the dial. This appearance was similar to the emblem of the savior and Ari. The emblem of Xia [Mathematics] is very similar.

　　 The gears behind the dial turned crazily. In the light, the gear man walked out slowly and stepped on the platform again. This time, the alloy in its entire body has been replaced with the strongest special alloy of the differential engine. The body just now is just a test, and now it is the strongest body of the Gearman.

　　 Without much words, Jenkins swung his sword down, and after the blade of the big sword was held up, his free left punch hit the gear man's head.

　　 The gears in the metal skull swiftly turned, piercing a large hole in the center of the skull, just to jam Jenkins' fist. Bronze light appears on the body surface accompanied by the flow of spirit. Even though the principle of all mechanisms can no longer trigger the active action, the passive effect of restraining the difference mechanism still works.

　　 The gear man's movements seemed to be paused for a second. This second was enough time for the fiery red sword to lower his metal arms. When Gear Man reacted, the burning blade almost touched its metal head.

　　 "Do you think I would not think that you might also bring this sword and avoid my control?"

　　 The original metal ball eyeball turned inward, and then another magic eye appeared.

　　 "How many magic eyes do you have?"

　　As the spirit bloomed, the flame on the spiral sword extinguished immediately, as if it did not exist at all. At the same time, the spirit flowing through the sword was also "frozen" in the sword, as if the entire sword was "dead".

　　 immediately retracted the sword into the spirit, and could feel that it was slowly recovering, but it could no longer be used in a short time.

　　 "What kind of magic eye is this?"

　　 "A-02-2-9321 [Hateful eyes of the swordsmith], restrain all sword-like items."

　　 "You can always come up with fresh patterns."

　　 "This is not new, I have considered all the possibilities. After reducing your abilities and weapons in the first eight levels of paradox, how much power is left for you now?"

　　 The Gearman strode forward and approached Jenkins, and in the close sound of clicking, its right arm deformed into a brass-colored long sword. Because it is made of gears, it looks like the sword body is hollowed out, but inside the hollowed out sword body is a chain of ancient runes. Steam is sprayed from between the gears, and the gear man swings his right arm and strikes Jenkins.

　　 "Even if I don't have much power left, it's not something your body can resist."

　　 slammed his fist to face the sword, the pure physical power collided with the long sword accelerated by steam and extraordinary power. Jenkins immediately felt the bone in his arm broken, and then realized that it was a comminuted fracture of the right fist bone with epidermal bleeding and soft tissue contusion.

　　 Gearman's right arm long sword was also deformed, but just swiped it in the air and it returned to its original state.
