Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 1099 Mechanical God Appearance
Xia Xiu slowly raised his head. In front of him, seven Beastmen Primordial Ancestors unfolded their beast forms, blocking the [Mobile City] formed by the four Mechanic Primordial Ancestors.

The fiery ape Cacus stood in the center, his shoulders like burning peaks, his mane blazing with flames; on either side of him stood Tancera the Cerberus, the heavily armored Titan Catoblepas, the serpent king Basilisque, the manticore Manticor, the banshee Stryx, and the penumbra Lamia.

They formed a wall of wild beasts stretching across the sky and earth, their forms as imposing as mountain ranges.

Xia Xiu, however, simply uttered three words:

"Push it over—"

The next instant, he raised the golden greatsword that symbolized divine authority, and the blade suddenly shone with a dazzling starlight color.

"—Push them down!!!"

Without hesitation, the four Omnic Progenitors—Jason, Terramon, Swayne, and Tantros—simultaneously ignited their engines, and the four colossal, mobile city-like structures roared, shattering the horizon, and crashed into the seven Beast Titans with overwhelming force.

The behemoth roared. The metal ground was torn apart into a canyon.

Two Titan forces collided at the center of the world.

But Xia Xiu had no intention of letting himself be held back by these beast kings—he knew that the real battle was not here, nor was it about destroying the original STC production line, but about stopping Kondratiev when he ascended to the miracle with the help of [Typhoeos] and Ophiuchus.

So he directly called the big boss and asked him to release his cheat.

"Eden, activate the Holy Engine of the Gospel!"

***
In the starry sky, in the Roche limit zone of Crystal Star II, the Geller Force Field of Heaven is docked. The hull of the giant ship is like an inverted castle in the deep space, and the 1,600-meter-long hull is like a silent god lying in the Milky Way.

At this moment, the rune array at the bottom of the ship lit up completely. Energy circuits, like thousands of light snakes, flowed along the hull.

Eden then took control of the ships and began launching the gospel machines.

[Exit procedure initiated—]

[The gate is opening...]

The armored hatch, fifty meters thick, unlocked layer by layer, and at the end of the deep-space folded passageway, a shadow sharper than the stars slowly rose.

[System loading—]

[Propulsion System: Activated.]

[Stable System: Online.]

[Extravelogue trajectory: Under calibration]

[Prometheus, the Gospel Machine: Ready to launch.]

When darkness completely gave way, the colossus finally revealed its full form. Prometheus stood tall in the dock, 101 meters high, like a mechanical god born from a stellar furnace.

Its head resembled a divine mask, with metallic patterns like divine runes, and two deep red optical eyes that slowly lit up like the fire of judgment; the blue crystal on its forehead emitted a dazzling holy light, and the light spread along the mask into a huge spiritual wave; the main reactor in its chest cavity rumbled as it was activated, and the armor vibrated.

Behind it—three floating metal wheels slowly rose up.

The Gospel Machine raised its head, and red light pierced through the shipyard ceiling, shining directly into the atmosphere of Crystal Star II in the distance.

Eden's voice fell softly.

[Prometheus, the Evangelical Machine: Prepare for Attack!]

Guided by the dock, the Evangelistic Machine slowly moved to the exit track. With the activation of the thrusters, the machine gradually rose into the air and headed towards the unknown space outside the hatch.

The light of the dock was completely absorbed by the power of the colossus, which descended upon Crystal Constellation II like a divine weapon about to fall from the sky, carrying heavenly fire.

***
On the ground, Titans are engaged in a fierce battle.

Click, click, click! ! ! !

As the four Omnic Progenitors folded back into humanoid Titans from their [Mobile City] forms, the ground seemed unable to bear their weight as they stood upright again, emitting a deep groan.

Jason rose from the ground, his golden armor patterns flowing like molten gold. Telamon's arms folded into a giant siege hammer, Swayne's shoulders surged with energy pulses like stacked turrets, and Tantros, who had come from Charon, unfurled his honeycomb-shaped hurricane blades. The four of them stood side by side under the sky like four steel deities rekindling ancient glory.

Facing them were four Beast Sect Ancestors who were equally unyielding, their roars sounding like they were tearing the sky apart.

The desert manticore, slaying the Titan Manticore, brandished its tail stinger, which was larger than a tower. The giant hook dragged through the air, drawing a bright arc of plasma, and crashed down, sending up a wave of metallic dust hundreds of meters high.

The banshee Stryker burst forth from the shadows as if tearing through space, her wings flapping to unleash blinding black flames in an attempt to lock Jason's trajectory.

The Venomous Fog Serpent King, Basilisk, raised its several-kilometer-long body, and a vast expanse of poisonous fog enveloped the battlefield like a moving atmosphere of death.

The figure of the Penumbra Titan Ramia continued to blur and phase, as if dozens of phantoms were tearing through the battlefield at the same time, forcing Swayne to use Overload Barrage to cover the entire war zone.

Thump thump thump!!!
Boom! ! ! ! !
Pfft~~~~~~~
clang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The collision of Titans seemed to force the world itself to make way.

The fists struck the bone armor with a resounding clang like a bell, and the tail spikes and warhammer clashed, scattering white and blue sparks; beams of energy pulses tore through the air and pierced between the giant snake's body, and with each leap of the behemoth, the entire metal field was shaken into shattered waves, and the battle lines were constantly pressed, torn, folded back, and broken.

In a pure clash of brute force, devoid of any finesse, the four progenitors of the Mechanism faction and the four progenitors of the Beast faction cleaved the earth in two, turning the battlefield into an abyss.

But the real deciding factor lies on the other side.

The fiery ape Titan Kakus emerged from behind the massive swarm of soldiers like a volcanic eruption, each step cracking the ground into a spiderweb; his fists burned with explosive pulses symbolizing the blessing of chaos, and the crimson runes on his body were scorched and twisted.

Behind him followed the heavily armored Titan Catoblepas and the two-headed Cerberus, the three beast-like Titans arranged in an inverted triangle formation, trapping Xia Xiu in the center of the killing array.

Faced with this oppressive force that almost froze the air, three beams of light simultaneously shone behind Xia Xiu.

The three incarnations descended.

Metatron's six-winged flames were like holy stripes cutting through the sky. When the platinum feather blades were unfurled on the battlefield, they actually forced the giant fist that was being swung by Cacus to deflect by half an inch.

[Sisyphus] transformed into a colossal purple-gold statue, taking a step out of the spatial rift that twisted the ground structure, and his punch caused the entire armored floor beneath Catoblepas's feet to sink.
Vasak's shadow rose from beneath Xia Xiu's feet, like claws reaching out from the dimensional rift. With a blink of his purple abyssal eyes, Cerberus's three neural chains momentarily paused.

The next moment, the battle erupted in full force.

Karkus roared and slammed his fists into the space where Xia Xiu was, the wind from his punches exploding like a meteor shower. However, Xia Xiu raised his left arm and the [Lever of Heaven] instantly transformed from a short staff into a massive pillar, the tip of the staff colliding with his fist and creating a white wave of energy.

Just as the two forces were locked in a stalemate, Metatron's twin swords pierced through Kakus's shoulder like streaks of light, igniting the divine flames within him into golden-white sparks.

Katobrepas attempted a flank attack, but Sisyphus forcefully twisted its direction with a vector, throwing the entire Titan hundreds of meters away and dragging it into a deep metal canyon.

Cerberus lunged at Shash, but was stopped in mid-air by [Vasak].

With only a fraction of a second of pause, Xia Xiu's golden greatsword pierced through the opening and into the chest cavity, completely severing the nerves of the third head that had not yet been repaired. At the same time, he once again used the [Sword of Abelio] to cut off the dog's head.

After doing all this, Xia Xiu suddenly felt a pain in his chest. The [Triple Crown] behind him was spinning wildly like the sun falling, dissipating heat violently as if it were about to burn through the air. The planet module in his chest was also throbbing like a giant drum.

He now not only has to control the output of the three avatars, but also has to confront the three beast-like progenitors head-on—a near-overclocking limit.

This is also why he doesn't use [Crown Deployment] now; although the mana consumption and computing power are maintained by the planet module, the load is too great.

He needs to let the crown cool down for a while before the gospel mechanism arrives.

At the very moment Xia Xiu allowed the crown to dissipate heat, the three beastly titans he had severely injured showed no sign of retreating.

Instead, in an almost primal, instinctive, and frenzied manner, it suddenly ignited its own spark and machine spirit.

The next second, the auras of the three monsters surged as if three volcanoes were erupting simultaneously.

The back armor of the Hellfire Titan Catoblepas suddenly shattered, pieces of black iron flipping outwards to reveal the fiery core inside, which resembled churning magma.

Cerberus, the three-headed crow of hell, spewed black flames from its two heads simultaneously, and the severed third head twitched strangely, as if new nerve bundles were about to grow from it at any moment.

The Flame Ape Titan Kakus's entire chest cavity was exposed with blazing white flames, and its arms were burning with the blue flame patterns unique to its overclocked state. With one step, it burned the ground into a half-melt.

"Roar----!!!"

Instead of retreating, they advanced, responding to their anger by lighting fires. In the next instant, they pounced on the enemy at three times the speed of before.

With a powerful punch, like the force of a Titan shattering a star, Karkus struck Metatron's two flaming longswords, which were crossed in an X shape. Golden light and crimson flames exploded and intertwined, sending Metatron flying hundreds of meters backward, crashing into a collapsing military factory.

Katobrepas's heavy armor rammed into the ground, creating a hundred-meter-long dust storm, and he slammed Sisyphus into the earth with his shoulder, creating a huge fissure in the ground along the entire battle line; Cerberus leaped up, like two molten planets crashing to the ground, and his black flame bite even made the illusion of Vasak unstable.

Upon seeing this, Xia Xiu immediately gave an order.

"Vasak, stop time!"

Purple light exploded in the shadows.

"Buzz——"

The world fell into a deathly silence. In this world where everything was still, Xia Xiu's movements were so fast that they defied the laws of physics.
With a flick of his right hand, the [Lever of Heaven] expanded instantly like a collapsing mountain, its shaft transforming into a hundred-meter-long giant stake that slammed into Kakus's skull with the force of a falling star, causing a large chunk of his skull to cave inward.

The next strike, [Abelio's Sword], swept out, its blade piercing the crack in the Catoblepas breastplate, cutting through dozens of layers of nerve steel bundles, and forcefully cleaving through the fire extension structure in the left lung area.

He turned and plunged his sword into Cerberus's neck joint, severing the neural chain of his regenerating third head, and also plucking off a large number of charred fragments of fire. This was the third time he had severed the dog's head.

The three colossal beast kings simultaneously leaned back during the time stop, and then...

"Buzz—!"

Time stopped, and the world resumed its flow.

The ruptured wounds burst open as if a delayed detonation switch had been pressed, all bursting forth the instant time reset: a string of distorted sparks of fire, like red and blue blood, spewed from the collapsed skull of Cyrus; the crack in the chest of I Katobelapas tore open in all directions, spewing out sparks like a fountain; the broken neck of Cerberus exploded directly with black flames, even burning through half of his shoulder armor.

However, these severe blows that should have brought down the Titan were quickly restored as if erased by some violent command, with the sound of metal healing continuous like a whirlwind.

This was all thanks to them transplanting the real [unlimited self-replication machine] into their bodies. At this moment, the three progenitors of the Beast School raised their heads simultaneously.

The flames burned brighter, wilder, and more furiously than before, having entered a fully overclocked state.

Karkus stared at Vasak's purple, gleaming eyes and growled in a low voice:
"Your shadow... I see. Its ability is to steal time, isn't it? Very good... Although we can't stop it, as long as we continue to observe it, your time stop will become shorter and shorter."

That was the Titans' instinctive backlash against the power of time. But Xia Xiu merely chuckled.

He suddenly put away the Heavenly Lever and the Golden Greatsword, raised his right hand, and pointed his index finger at the sky.

He uttered a single, understated statement that could stop the heartbeats of every iron-willed person on the battlefield:

"Deus ex machina—it's here."

The sky looked as if it had been torn open by some unseen giant hand.

Rumble~~~~~
The next second, a ball of blazing white starlight pierced through the clouds, trailing a tail of flame hundreds of meters long like a meteor falling from heaven, and plummeted straight down from the Roche limit of the outer orbit of Crystal Star II.

Boom! ! ! !

【Prometheus, the Holy Machine of Evangelion】—Descends upon the battlefield!
The roar of the colossal machine breaking the sound barrier was like the world's heartbeat stopping abruptly, and the metal continent was shaken up by a hundred-meter-high sea of ​​dust the moment it landed.

Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, had just raised two of his heads and the third head had not yet fully healed from its broken wound when he was met head-on by the steel fist of the Evangelical Fist!

"—Thump!!!"

Prometheus delivered a powerful punch, striking Cerberus's head like a planetary impact.

The head exploded into countless black fragments and a fountain of engine oil, as if struck by a hammer swung by a god. This was the fourth head that Xia Xiu had blown off.

Cerberus's massive body flew horizontally, dragging its shattered skull and carving a trail of sparks thousands of meters across the battlefield, with fragments of metal and embers raining down like rain.

The moment the gospel machine descended, the entire battlefield seemed to be suddenly muted.

The four progenitors of the Mech faction simultaneously stopped moving, their mechanical souls trembling as if struck by lightning.

The seven original beasts were dumbfounded, their instincts overriding their consciousness, and they even forgot to roar.

Thousands of functionalist committees’ iron men and fighting machines came to a standstill, their sensors emitted high-frequency noise, and their embers pulsed violently as if recalling some ancient fear.

The three colossi of the Mechanicus appeared before all the Maxwell Ironmen, and even the Beastmen who had already sided with Chaos couldn't help but be mesmerized by this divine creation.

They never imagined that Om Messiah would possess... a divinely bestowed colossus!!!
Could he really be the incarnation of God on earth?

Under everyone's stunned gaze, the data flames on Xia Xiu's body ignited, and patterns like lightning spread all over his body. Then, his whole body transformed into a rainbow of light, perfectly synchronized with the piloting device in Prometheus's chest.

The sphere of light lit up.

Inside the cockpit, Xia Xiu reverted to his human form, his hands firmly resting on the sphere of light. Two deep blue halos appeared in his golden eyes, a symbol of the crown and the flame completely overlapping.

He said in a low voice:
"Prometheus, drive away the target!"

In an instant, the entire Gospel Machine vibrated as if a star core had been awakened.

[Authoritarian Domain - Synchronization Loading]

[Blessed by the Crown - Broken Flame Linked Together]

[Blueprint (Custom) - Unsealed: Om Messiah's Blade]

The void cracked with blue and white patterns due to the vibration of its authority. Suddenly, a tsunami of azure data flames rose around Prometheus, and hundreds of millions of data cubes were extracted from the air and the void, as if they were read from the bottom files of the world, spinning, weaving and constructing around him at high speed.

The vortex grew larger and brighter until a ship-slaying sword, 120 meters long, was slowly pulled out of the flames.

The cold, metallic sheen was almost painful, and the engravings on the blade resembled a mysterious decree—the Blade of Om Messiah, in its complete form.

Cerberus had just struggled to his feet, with only two heads still spewing black flames from his neck, and before he could even open his mouth to roar, the Holy Machine swung his sword down.

boom----! ! !
The air seemed to be sliced ​​off, and the ship-slaying sword, trailing a hundred meters of blue light, shattered the sound barrier. Cerberus tried to dodge, but its speed was completely outmatched.

The blade swept past.

The second head rolled off, and the third head exploded into a twisted ball of black flame half a second later.

Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, was blown in the head for the fifth and sixth time, his massive body staggering to the ground.

Although he won't die as long as the flame remains, he's been shot in the head too many times today, so Big Dog needs a break.

The other two Beast School founders finally realized what was happening and roared as they pounced on the Gospel Holy Machine.

The Gospel Machine, meanwhile, took a step forward, dragging its blade behind it.

The next moment, he swept his ship-slaying blade across a hundred-meter arc, sending the two Titans flying directly into the sky.

The behemoth tumbled in the air, its body scorched by the pulses of shattered fire attached to the blade, leaving large, dark cracks that nearly extinguished the flames themselves.

Next, Xia Xiu's will surged into the core algorithm of the Evangelion Holy Machine like a torrent of steel. The halo around Prometheus's eyes suddenly turned a dazzling blue-white. In the next instant, the entire colossus took a step forward and charged straight to the center of the battle line with an almost unbelievable acceleration.

Like an unkillable cockroach, Kakus reappeared, roaring as he pounced.

Even knowing now that the other party possesses the [God-given Colossus], Cycus will not bow down to Om Messiah. Ever since their Beast faction led Functionalism to join Chaos, they have inevitably become heretics.

However, they had no choice but to walk down a path to their deaths.

They can only call themselves the true Church of the All-Powerful God, and continue to maintain the lineage by using machinery as its body and chaos as its function.

Under such a distorted ideology and culture, they can only go to extremes, denying all other ways of governing and only honoring themselves as the true religion of the god of all things.

Therefore, even when faced with a gospel message, he cannot allow the other party to interrupt his plans.

The Flame Ape Titan's arms burned to near melting point, and the Machine Soul Flame pulsed violently as he tried to stop the [God-given Colossus] from advancing with brute force.

"Stop right there!!"

The Flame Ape Titan, like a passionate protagonist, stood in front of the colossus.

But Xia Xiu didn't give him a chance to continue his passionate outburst. His time was precious, and he didn't have time to play around with this Titan.

"You're so noisy!"

The Gospel Machine's left arm suddenly stretched out, its five fingers like hooks locking the sky, and pressed down on Cacus's forehead.

boom--! !

The Titan's fangs hissed as they scraped against his palms, and Kirkus's massive body was pinned to the ground.

He wanted to break free, to roar, to fight back, but the power of the Holy Gospel was like divine power drawn from the depths of the star's core, making it impossible for him to even raise his head.

"Get down on your knees."

Xia Xiu's voice fell heavily from "Prometheus," and then the colossus suddenly started its low-altitude flight propulsion.

Karkus was dragged along by pressing his forehead down.

Rumble rumble rumble~~~~~~
The colossal Titan was forcefully pressed down, carving a terrifying trench in the ground. Sparks, metal fragments, and rivers of fire mingled with the shattering crust, constantly churning the earth. The ground seemed to have been cleaved by a blade drawn by a god, and a deep chasm several kilometers long continued to extend as the Gospel Machine advanced, forming a great rift that tore the battlefield apart.

Dust surged up like a storm behind the colossus.

All the functionalist committee units, automatic turrets, aerospace iron men, heavy tanks, and even high-altitude fighter jets that tried to block the way were blocked by the seven layers of light that suddenly appeared next to the Evangelical Machine.

【Ommessiah - Seven-Ring Barrier】

Seven ring-shaped barriers float around Prometheus. No matter what kind of artillery fire, orbital beams, energy-guided impacts, or even armor-piercing and planet-shattering projectiles touch the rings, they will be absorbed, deflected, pulverized, or have their atomic structure destroyed.

As the Holy Machine of the Gospel raised his right arm, the [Om Messiah Blade] forged from data flames in his hand transformed into an unparalleled weapon of destruction.

Sweeping across the battlefield like cutting melons and vegetables.

Bang bang bang bang! ! ! !
Bang bang bang bang! ! ! !
Bang bang bang bang! ! ! !
One explosion after another rang out. Wherever the blade flashed, heavy mechs were cut in half, air force formations fell in droves, the mountain-like iron city structure was instantly flattened, and even the air was cut into a vacuum vortex.

The Holy Machine of the Gospel advances relentlessly, sweeping across the land like an unparalleled force.

As Kerkus was dragged near the Well of the Fire, his head armor was worn and cracked, the light of the Fire leaking out, and he roared and cursed Om Messiah.

“Ugh…you damned heretic…Fire Stealer…you stole it…”

Inside the cockpit, Xia Xiu's eyes flashed gold and blue, cold as a god overlooking a chessboard.

"You're really tough!"

In his moment of distraction, the Evangelist lifted the Titan with his left hand and thrust the [Om Messiah Blade] in his right hand directly into the opponent's spark and brain module.

The gorilla's head was pierced directly by the ship-slaying sword, crackling with electricity. Even after being hit like that, it still tried to extend its fist and strike the arm of the Evangelism Saint Machine.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

The gospel machine swung its left arm violently.

The entire Titan, Caercus, was hurled towards the Well of Fire. The colossal Abyss of Fire trembled violently from the impact, and the mechanical structure of the well walls underwent a chain reaction like giant waves, with layers of light overflowing outwards. The location of the slumbering [Tifous] then emerged.

Before Xia Xiu could talk to Kondrati, there was one more thing he needed to do.

Pfft~~~
Pfft~~~
Pfft~~~~
The shadows beneath Prometheus's feet began to writhe as if they were alive, expanding silently like a herd of ethereal beasts crawling out of the depths of hell, appearing eerie and thirsty in the firelight.

The spiritual legions of 【Vasak】, awakened by the crown's call, instinctively rushed toward the nearest source of energy density—the STC Primal Production Line.

Countless shadowy cracks opened, like black holes biting into the ground. The shells of production modules, military SCVs, barracks, energy nodes, and blueprint databases were slowly dragged into the void by the shadows. Metal was silently chewed up, and data was devoured into fragments and sparks, as if an invisible giant sky was uprooting and draining the logistics of the entire functionalist legion.

Even units in mass production were dragged out of the teleportation chamber in semi-human form and instantly disintegrated into dust.

The power of the Vasak Legion swept in like a black tide, swallowing up the entire original production line structure in just a few seconds.

The entire functionalist committee's battlefield logistics were torn to pieces under Vasak's shadow.

A new legion has been born.
