The days that followed passed like this, day by day.
In the darkness, only the lonely satellite shone.
Time sped up again, as if all the irrelevant details had been ignored.
The giant beasts in the distance came one by one until the last group walked through the gate of the metal city. The heavy iron gate closed with a bang.
All the worlds of the living existed here.
Outside the high wall, there was an eternal silence. Only the roar of the giant beasts could be heard. There was no sound in the places where the light of the satellite could not reach.
This was the last place in the dead world where there was still noise.
Like a candle in the wind, it continued to exist day by day in the bad situation. Even if the pressure was great, after the initial difficult time, everyone gradually became familiar with each other.
Gradually, they merged into one.
In the beginning, the giant beasts were a little flustered when performing their duties, and there were many accidents. But not long after, they gradually cooperated with each other.
In the end, this hastily implemented plan reached a level of perfection that the phoenix and the fox had not expected.
No one could say why.
It was as if they were born this way.
Until one day, when the chat was about to end, Hydra looked at the lights in the city and suddenly laughed softly. "Don't you think it's very similar to the history of the present realm?"
"Huh?" Hao Ren was puzzled.
"I mean, the current situation and the relationship between us and other evolved races, don't you think it's familiar?" Hydra said indifferently. "If the giant beasts are gods, the races play the role of humans. We are the gods, and they are the mortals. After leaving the protection of the gods, humans will be buried in the darkness. After losing humans, the world maintained by the gods will be meaningless. This world is so cruel, we have to stick together to survive. It's just like the Chaos Era in BC. "
"Chaos Era?" Huai Shi was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he asked, "There has never been any historical data to prove that, right?"
"It's just that there is no direct evidence. But if all the inferences and guesses are rejected because of this, what's the point of history?"
Hydra's huge head shook slightly. "Although the scholars refuse to admit that the ambiguous era once existed, for the alchemists, that era is the most fascinating era … Hell and the Earth have not been separated, the traces of the gods have not left the mortal world, and the chaos and destruction of an earlier era still have real traces.
At that time, the golden age had yet to end … "
Huai Shi rolled his eyes lazily. "I don't think there's anything wrong with not having a god. It's annoying to have someone flying above my head every day."
"Aha, a typical astronomer's thinking."
Hydra laughed softly. "Forget it, there's no point in arguing about these ambiguous and imprecise things. I just feel a little surprised that I can play the role of the gods one day."
He paused for a moment and revealed a strange smile. "Say, in the era before the ancient times, would a creature like me be called the Grim Reaper?"
Huai Shi was stunned for a moment.
In order to complete his work, Hydra basically lived underground in the city, the place where the abyssal sediment was the thickest in the entire city.
All the dead consciousness would sink there along with the dissipated source substance, and then be burned in the converter. The remaining abyssal sediment would be separated out along with the matrix.
It was through this method that the depth and stability of the city could be guaranteed, and it would not turn into a strange hell overnight.
In terms of duties and appearance, Hydra could indeed call himself the Grim Reaper in this short dream.
"If I'm the Grim Reaper, then the Phoenix is the Sun God, Desolation is the Water God, and the Taurus is the Thunder God.
Other than that, there are also the satellites of the God of Light. The scholars gathered together can be called the God of Wisdom. Those sentries flying in the sky all day long will be called the God of Messengers and Travel … Don't you think it's reasonable? "
"What about me?"
Huai Shi blinked curiously. "What kind of god am I?"
"What do you think? Look at you lying in the smelting center every day. Of course you are the God of Forging and Craftsmanship. Do you still need to think about it? "
Hydra looked at Huai Shi's current body shape and nodded. "According to the Pantheon period before the Holy Spirit Genealogy in Rome, you might be the type with the blood of the Titans."
Huai Shi could not help but roll his eyes. "You just want to say that I'm ugly, right?"
"Haha, you're quite self-aware, aren't you?"
In the face of Hydra's teasing, Huai Shi raised his claws indifferently and grabbed a handful of ores from the pile of ores beside him. He chewed on them like peanuts, and spat out the ores all over the ground.
Amidst the loud rumbling sounds, Hydra could not help but feel a headache. He glanced at Huai Shi and said, "You rascal, did you grow bigger recently?"
"Did I? I don't think so. "
Huai Shi was at a loss. He pinched the fat on his stomach. "But I'm definitely fat. I don't have enough exercise. Is there anything for me to take apart?"
"…"
Hydra rolled his eyes. "Pretend I didn't say anything."
Not long after the conversation came to an end, the high-pitched roar of steel rubbing against each other came from the direction of the laboratory behind the smelting center.
Amidst the loud rumbling of the mountains, the huge ceiling of the workshop slowly opened.
The deafening sound of a siren was heard.
Accompanied by the steam that filled the sky, the weird metal giant got rid of the support frame. It slowly propped up its four legs and climbed up amidst the grinding sounds that made one's teeth ache.
It took two steps forward, and another two steps forward.
It actually did not fall apart?
"Ahahahaha, did you see that! You bunch of idiots. My ultimate weapon, No.0. Modified 2! I finally succeeded! "
A hysterical laugh came from the chest of the metal giant. It was so excited that it could not control itself. It pulled the joystick and drove the giant to walk on the ground.
It looked in the direction of Huai Shi and proudly placed its hands on its waist.
It meant, "Look at my steam-powered metal giant, isn't it awesome?"
Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at it for a while. He raised his hand silently and gave a thumbs up, giving it a compliment of the size of a giant.
It meant that it was like.
He was too lazy to complain about this guy. Regardless of how ridiculous the logic of this ultimate weapon was, how could there be an opponent for you to fight in the final battle?
Moreover, there were so many big guys here. How could it be your turn to fight?
Anyway, this guy who was poisoned by the steam did not care. After getting Huai Shi's approval, he proudly drove the metal robot and ran wildly. He announced to the group of colleagues in the city who were looking over.
"Did you see that! I'm the one who just … "
Boom!
Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang and the metal giant exploded into pieces. Countless fragments were burned into molten iron in the air and fell into the wreckage on the ground with a sizzling sound.
That ultimate weapon, Zero, or whatever it was, welcomed its own ending before it could even achieve victory.
"Ah, the reflection furnace exploded."
Hydra laughed gloatingly. "I have already reminded him that steam power has a limit after all. The method of flying bricks with great strength is not applicable here. He didn't listen. I don't know if he's still alive."
"Should be, probably, maybe …?"
Huai Shi was also a little unsure. He opened his eyes wide and looked over. Soon, he saw a parachute slowly opening from the cockpit.
Thick smoke rose from the cockpit. A burnt kobold crawled out in a sorry state and coughed violently.
Still alive. Well, at least he was still breathing.
Huai Shi rolled his eyes. He was not surprised. Anyway, this was not the first time this guy was looking for trouble after he was transferred here and started to let himself loose.
"Looks like you're going to be busy. I'll leave first."
Hydra still had work to do. He was not in the mood to get involved with the ultimate weapon. He was ready to leave before that guy pounced on Huala A Dream and asked for the new alloy.
"Oh right, I have a question to ask …"
Before leaving, Hydra raised the tip of his tail and patted the back of his head. He curiously looked at Huai Shi's neck — between the countless steel scales, there was a rusty iron ball.
"What is that?" he asked.
"A bell." Huai Shi looked down at his neck in confusion. "Haven't you seen it before?"
"No, I mean, why are you wearing a bell?"
"… I forgot."
Huai Shi thought seriously for a long time and nodded seriously. "I think it's quite cute wearing it like this. What do you think?"
"… As long as you're happy."
Hydra's nine faces twitched at the same time. He turned around and was ready to leave.
But just as he turned around, he saw a red light suddenly rising into the sky from the city.
There was also a sharp alarm that was so loud that it tore everyone's eardrums.
War alarm!
Huai Shi and Hydra looked at each other and were stunned.
What the hell?
.
.
Half an hour later, the usual meeting place of the monsters, which was Huai Shi's nest, was already crowded with giant monsters who had rushed over.
With the arrival of a truck, the new projector was already in place.
The Undying Bird that had rushed back from afar folded its wings and slowly landed.
Without waiting for him to stand still, the giant monsters started to ask questions.
"What's the situation?"
"I'm so thirsty. Give me some water first … see for yourself."
The Undying Bird took off the camera on its neck and threw it over. Then, it opened its mouth wide and motioned for the Desolate Emperor to pour some rain. After finally drinking enough, it took a breath.
And on the huge projection screen, which was in front of Huai Shi's chest, the video taken by the Undying Bird finally played to the most important part.
On the barren land, countless surging Blacktide!
