Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 951: Igniting the Fire (Published first, to be added later, to be viewed the following day)
Inside the cockpit of the Gospel Machine, Xia Xiu quietly gazed up at the sky.

At the edge of the horizon, the starry sea that should have been eternally silent has now become the battleground for the second swordsman of Heaven and that terrifying ultimate creature.

Even through the thick armored walls, even through the space battlefield where the battle itself had shattered and reconstructed the laws of physics, Xia Xiu could still clearly see the impact.

Space rippled like waves during the battle.

Asteroids exploded and collapsed in the aftershocks of the clash of fists, their magnetic trajectories dancing like dragons and snakes, tearing apart the structure of the swirling stardust; the intent of the fists, like violent rays of light, pierced directly through the void, making the entire sky tremble like metal skin on the verge of melting.

Each of Muhammad's punches was like a mountain falling from the starry sky.

His avatar, Gibril, radiated a golden holy light. When he merged with Gibril, the aura of divinity and martial arts in harmony almost made the heavens bow down in submission.

The ultimate life form—with its endless changes and regeneration—can no longer be described as a mere living being.

He was flying, he was roaring, he transformed into a structure in space that was almost like an insect god, rapidly adapting to each structural advancement of "My Martial Arts"...

But he was ultimately knocked back by a single punch, suffering severe injuries and nearly shattering his body.

It must be said that Muhammad's "magnetic power" was truly too magnificent. Coupled with that terrifying "integration of will" and "my martial arts", Xia Xiu had no doubt that the other party could kill a living god with his bare body.

The second swordsman is undoubtedly a true angel who, in the truest sense, can throw a punch at a god and achieve physical holiness by killing the god.

On the battlefield, as the ultimate creature was suppressed by a heavy blow, the meteors that attempted to invade in space were also shattered in the aftershocks.

The sky finally cleared up.

At that moment, Xia Xiu received a notification from Eden.

[Blue Tide Purification: 97%]

At this current pace, we are ready to move on to the next phase of the operation.

The remaining 3% can be advanced simultaneously, but now there is no time to lose; delay could lead to unforeseen problems.

So Xia Xiu took a deep breath, sat back in the main control position of the Evangelical Machine, and scanned the movement trajectories of the five knight orders and five heroes that appeared on the tactical screen.

The new instructions were issued without hesitation.

As Xia Xiu's concise yet powerful command echoed through the channel, the gears of the entire battlefield began to operate with an almost miraculous precision.

On the light screen of the Eden system, the propulsion bar for [Anchor Chain Implantation] slowly appeared, and then rapidly rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.

During this stage, there are no unexpected changes to hinder progress, and there is no need for any hesitation.

The five orders of knights swiftly began their respective combat missions.

The colossal black structure rose slowly from the transport tracks like a mountain range, with mechanical arms like octopuses coiling around its core pillars, unfolding layer by layer, as if a god were spreading its tentacles before a sacrifice.

That's a planetary engine, the real black box technology of heaven.

With the Tokamak magical reactor as its core framework and integrated with a realistic anchor structure, each engine resembles the remains of an ancient god, emitting a deathly roar that oppresses the soul.

They are like stakes, piercing through the body of the deity and then extracting its inner energy.

……

……

At the head region, atop the sky, the knights of the [Stefano Jacob Pereira Knights] stood before the planetary engines. Under their operation, the eighteen tower-type planetary engines slowly began to be inserted into the body of the Star God. Those enormous black divine pillars were inscribed with holy words and incantations, and as they moved with the wind, golden ripples appeared, like thunder of revelation echoing in the high sky.

The descent of each engine was accompanied by a tremor throughout the entire sky, as if an invisible authority had descended from the heavens, penetrating every nerve node in the Star God's head, sealing off his thoughts and extinguishing his dreams.

The abdominal area was enveloped in the light of divine grace and prayer.

Under the canopy of prayers, the heavily armored troops of the [Knights of St. Martin], like a combination of priests and warriors, slowly propelled the forty-nine main anchors while chanting incantations imbued with purification spells.

These massive anchor winches, resembling burning fireplaces of repentance, slowly descend, each carrying a trajectory as heavy as divine punishment, covering and cleaning the crystal core layers that had been contaminated by the sea one by one.

The [Ci'en Airborne Sky Canopy] floats in the air, casting patches of silver light to provide continuous divine purification and domain suppression for the warriors below.

In the name of mercy, they implemented the most cruel sealing methods.

The spinal region is the heaviest and most terrifying.

That was a main channel of divine power, which once pulsed like a living thing, running through the entire central nervous system of the Star God.

Now, the Knights of Saint Sebastian and the Titans have forged a path of destruction with fire and blood—twenty-one sub-pulse anchors are personally propelled after they have coated their bodies with purifying spray and burned prayers.

They burned themselves, incinerating their armor, and purged all the spinal sea creatures imbued with the aura of evil gods.

As the anchor fell to the ground, the blazing flames formed a cross-shaped mark, as if engraving an ending spell on the corpse.

They are knights of self-immolation, the hand of divine punishment, the resonance of purification and sacrifice.

The final, crucial step is placing two world-class pivot cores on the shoulders.

The right shoulder is under the responsibility of the [Knights of the Holy Trinity].

They were silent, yet swift as eagles.

Using the [Covering of the Name] spell, they vanished from all divine observation, leaving only the afterimage of the pivot body falling along the guide rails.

Ten tower-like activation cores slid into the grooves on the god's shoulder, and the runes and magical waves exploded the moment they landed, as if a high-dimensional echo had been suppressed.

On the left shoulder, a magical support base was constructed by the [Knights of Saint Isodo], with the machine spirit trainers guiding the war machine spirits to clear the way—ten activation cores, guided by the trajectory of the floating runes, crashed into the deep structure of the Star God's shoulder blade.

At that moment, the entire shell of the Star God trembled violently, as if some kind of divine dream was being dismantled and rewritten.

Five directions, five knightly orders, each with its own duties.

……

……

High in the sky, the first rays of dawn broke through the clouds, illuminating the top of the armored train of Jormungandr.

Xia Xiu piloted the Evangelic Machine, the three blazing metal crowns behind him still emitting a dazzling afterglow, illuminating the entire battlefield like blazing halos. He slowly retracted his spiral spear, and the systems in the cockpit shut down the combat commands one by one, switching to navigation and return-to-base sequence.

Accompanied by the reverberating vibrations of photon propulsion, the Holy Machine of the Gospel steadily descended upon the train platform of [Jörmungandr].

After setting up the gospel machine, Xia Xiu went straight to the command room.

Inside the command center, the light screen folds like a dome, reflecting the miraculous scene beneath the earth's surface.

Looking out from here, the entire war zone—once a crystallized wasteland ravaged by the Sea Sirens—is now completely unrecognizable.

The planetary activation core and anchor chain system that stretches across the sky and pierces the deep earth, like pillars descended from the heavens, deeply penetrates the strata and neural base, completely locking, fixing, and rewriting the pulse and consciousness system of the star gods.

Xia Xiu stared silently at the scene, his eyes devoid of excitement, only filled with an extremely suppressed and cold emotion.

He wasn't the type to be easily swayed by achievements, but at this moment, he slowly exhaled the long breath he had been holding back.

A soft voice, like a declaration, or a judgment:
"Phase Two... Completed."

At that moment, the Eden System notification rang in my ears like a low, sacred melody.

Anchor chain installation completion rate: 100%

[Purification Phase Progress: 99.3%]

"Now, begin the third phase: install the planetary engine program," Xia Xiu decisively ordered.

As Xia Xiu issued the order, the Eden System's central nervous system trembled, the light network swept down, and all nodes connected to the Heavenly Kingdom's tactical neural chain were activated. [Phase Three: Planetary Engine Mounting – Activation]

[Current Status: Deployment completed in all regions]

[Engine Type: Tokamak-class Black Box Engine Tower]

[Target State: Simulate the Heartbeat of a Deity - Driving Pulse Sequence]

The transparent projection screen unfolds layer by layer, folding into a combat network like a star map, marking the activation markers of the 108 planetary activation cores.

The entire surface of the Star God [Gaia-Astrea] resembled a colossal structure yet to be awakened, and now, those dormant giant wheels finally began to turn.

……

……

Head area.

Eighteen tower engines rose from the forehead, top of the skull, temples and jaw area of ​​the Star God.

This area is under the personal command of the Ninth Hero, who has personally landed from Jormungandr to take command, and the Knights of St. James Pereira have also deployed in full force.

Holding the enormous [Saint Yada Cross Sword], they did not participate in the construction, but stood in a holy array, chanting the "Proverbs Program" to the forehead of the Star God.

At the beginning of the era, names were not yet determined;
The stars have no orbit, the sea has no master.

Your name is the Light of Chaos;

Your breath is the wind of destruction.

“In the name of the Kingdom of Heaven, by the law of the sword-bearers, by the seal of the throne, the seat of wisdom, and the oath of the Ark of the Covenant, we apply to your form, to your soul, and to your spirit.”

"By binding your skull with eighteen anchors, your language will be annihilated; by covering your divine core with forty-nine praises, your mind will be reduced to zero; by severing your nerves with twenty-one pulses, your divinity will be deconstructed; by shackles binding your shoulders with two pivots, the wheel of form will be severed."

It is said: If a god wishes to revive, he must first ask why the anchor fell, why the fire went out, why the heart sank, and why the name was forgotten.

“I swear by the ranks of angels: This body will never awaken again.”

"This body—will never awaken again."

"This body... will never awaken again."

These eighteen head engines are responsible for suppressing the awakening of supreme divinity, acting as a firewall within the engine matrix.

Abdominal region.

The geological structure beneath the surface of the Star God began to be continuously penetrated by high-density magical drill bits.

Led by the [Knights of St. Martin], the engineering priests and priestly armored units initiated the on-site smelting order.

The main drive layer—forty-nine main anchor engine towers are arranged horizontally on the crystalline layer of the Star God's chest and abdomen, radiating outwards like the veins of stars.

After each anchor tower is placed on the ground, a whole line of knights with the hammer of repentance surrounds it, initiating the inscription of prayers and performing consecration and empowerment at the base of the tower.

This part is the central hub of the entire propulsion system, responsible for inputting the rhythmic vibrations into the core of the divine body—simulating the kinetic energy of the heart and respiratory system.

The spinal region.

Twenty-one special magical engines, known as secondary vein anchors, pierced the main nerve bundle of the Star God's spine in a vertical drop mode, embedding themselves into the bone pillar like chains.

Complex guide rails and magical programming align the parameters of each engine with the old neural excitation frequencies of the Star God.

The Knights of Saint Sebastian accompanied him, clad in burning prayer armor, igniting purifying sprays as they walked, scorching any source of pollution that might trigger a backlash.

These rows of spinal anchors act like reconnectors to the main nerve's broken points, completing the hijacking of the core control network of the Star God.

Shoulder area.

Twenty towering pivot engine towers stand on the shoulder joints of the Star God, ten on each side, twice the height of all the engines, and are made entirely of black box magical fibers and multidimensional stabilizing cores.

The right shoulder is constructed by the Trinity Knights, led by the Sixth Hero.

This divine falcon unit, relying on stealth techniques and mental immunity, remained as stable as a rock in the heavily polluted and highly disruptive shoulder engine area.

They completed the assembly of the high-altitude platform in a very short time and thrust ten right pivot engines directly into the coordinating tendon structure under the shoulder armor.

The left shoulder will continue to be handled by the Knights of San Isodo.

They embedded war runes into the core of the left shoulder, and each engine start was accompanied by the import of a large amount of tactical data to ensure that the body's coordination was not disrupted when derailed.

These two sets of engines are responsible for the attitude balance and direction modulation of the entire structure, and are the hub and gyroscope of the dynamic structure.

When the last pivot tower was firmly lowered into place, the entire surface of the Star God seemed to be covered with 108 divine pulses.

In an instant, engine towers of various models and purposes lit up like altars, from the head to the shoulders and back, from the abdomen to the spine.

Like the resonance of the gods, it ignites a dead world.

Xia Xiu stared at the blue light from Eden's report:
[Planetary engine installation complete: 100%]

[Tokamak drive frequency: Synchronization complete]

[Simulated Divine Heartbeat Frequency Import Successful]

[Star God Gaia - Astraea - Advancement Preparation: 92%]

Outside, the activated tower arrays were vibrating throughout the Star God's body cavity with a low-frequency heartbeat-like rhythm.

Now, this divine remains finally possesses a driving heart, just like connecting a corpse that has been dormant for thousands of years to a brand-new destiny pulse furnace.

He exhaled slightly:
"Phase Three Completed."

Now, the Star God has a mobile driving force.

The next step will be to ignite the corpse of this god and hurl it into deep space.

Xia Xiu gazed at the divine body about to be pushed forward in the distance, calmly raised his hand, pressed the command terminal, and his voice pierced through the entire battlefield channel like a divine proclamation:
"Now—start ignition."

In an instant.

The entire Star God's body seemed to be struck by invisible lightning.

The first beam of light burst forth simultaneously from the eighteen main control engines atop the Star God's head, piercing the dome like a giant sword and penetrating the stars.

In the next instant, the forty-nine abdominal engines, like the beating of a heart, burst forth with blazing light one after another, illuminating the deep-sea veins of the ancient crystal core within the Star God's body.

The silver-blue rhythm spread rapidly along the surface texture, like the pulse of light surging before a volcanic eruption.

Then, the twenty-one secondary vein anchors in the spinal region lit up almost synchronously, carving out towering gravitational ridges on the back of the Star God.

Finally, when the twenty pivot cores on both shoulders roared into action, the metallic resonance, like that of a divine bell, shook the heavens. A ripple that distorted space spread from the engine's spine, tearing apart the magnetosphere above the entire planet, like a god's cry ripping apart the boundaries of reality.

The engine roared, the earth rumbled, and the entire outer shell of the Star God gradually trembled slightly, like a gentle tremor before awakening.

[Jormungandr] hovered high in the sky. Inside the command center of the cockpit, Xia Xiu's sharp eyes saw the storm rising from the horizon, the clouds burning, and the lightning bending, all driven by the divine rhythm released by the engine.

just now……

Wandering Star God - Activated!
