Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 646: The finally obedient artificial angel

While Heshia and the others were exploring the ruins, in the Stone Forest Castle dozens of kilometers away, the sound of urgent bells echoed among the mountains.

From the snow-capped cliff at the top of the castle, to the fortress built on the mountain below, and then to the city area with tall houses, the sound of the bells spread like a beacon fire. Countless people stopped working and resting, walked out of the houses anxiously, and came to the street.

Climbing up the towering stone tower in the mountain fortress, overlooking the woodlands and mountains in the distance, a black "fog" is constantly floating and gathering. When it climbs to the top of the mountain along the deleted slope, it swoops down with a huge buzzing sound that comes from far away. Its number is overwhelming, and the green forest and grassland in the whole mountain are covered with a layer of "black gauze". If these black spots gather together, they will form a dense black wall, blocking the sunlight and vision.

'buzz buzz—'

That was the sound of insects flapping their wings. They were like evil spirits in legends, gathering in dense arrays like quicksand and rushing towards any living creature visible in the mountains.

Dense black spots flew by, and the pack horses on the roadside were eaten to skeletons within a minute. Pedestrians along the way fled in fear, but were soon caught up. These insects drilled into ears, mouths, noses, and collars. The terrified screams and howls echoed in the mountains, and the shrill sounds made the guards on the city wall go weak in the legs.

This is not the end. When these black spots swept across the earth like a curtain, they gradually pounced on the Stone Forest Fortress where living creatures gathered, and the buzzing sound of their vibrating wings became louder and louder.

Beacon fires and smoke signals were urgently lit in various places in the city, and the roads were filled with the sounds of hurried footsteps and the shouts of guards.

"Quick, everyone, bring out everything that can be burned and light it.

“The bigger the smoke, the better!”

"Bugs! Bugs are coming in droves!"

Many people were still confused, but they also felt uneasy from the hurried and uneasy movements of passers-by and guards. Various cries and sounds of things being thrown also filled the city.

Wearing outer garments made of several layers of thick gauze, the extraordinary beings among the Gray Feather species were summoned to the top of the fortress tower in the city, overlooking the rapidly approaching black swarm of insects below the mountain. The leading Gray Feather species raised their hands, and a scorching air current blew past everyone, and then slowly condensed into a huge fireball in the air.

At this time, other Gray Feather extraordinary beings also cast spells together, and fireballs of various sizes appeared around the tower. The heat and light they emitted attracted the attention of many people in the city. Some people began to kneel down and pray, some shouted excitedly, and some finally felt relieved after seeing it.

Then, the fireball swept through the air, rushing towards the open space and mountains under the city wall with a long tail flame.

A violent explosion sounded, and rocks and soil flew more than ten meters high. The flames spread along the city wall, engulfing a large number of black insects, causing heavy losses to the black insect mist that was preparing to climb over the city wall.

Afterwards, one burning fireball after another fell with long tails of flame, constantly exploding under the city walls, engulfing the approaching insect swarms with high temperature and suffocating heat waves.

Seeing that most of the insects under the city wall had been cleared, even if many insects later jumped into the city, they could not cause an extinction disaster. The guards on the top of the city wall breathed a sigh of relief and were grateful for the protection of the gray feather species. But as night fell, in the unknown corners of the mountains, some black insects, covered by dense jungle vegetation, once again climbed over the towering mountains and overlooked the stone fortress across the valley.

Underground ruins, spherical dome hall.

The mechanical angel suspended in the air slowly condensed pupils representing conscious activity, with faint symbols rotating in them. Her body was made entirely of a special mechanical alloy, and her limbs were black, like a girl wrapped in a black tights. There were air jets on the soles of her feet and the palms of her hands, and there were also air jets distributed on the edge of her skirt and the wings on her back, which could coordinate her to make extremely complex and flexible flight trajectories in the air.

However, she did not perform any complicated flight at this time. The light flashing in her eyes was like a scan, taking in the environment and creatures of the entire hall and inputting them into the internal central processor. With the operation of the algorithm core and thinking model, the intelligence representing the environment at this moment and the identities of several people were quickly presented in the neural model.

[新地球历 5976年11月02日，13点43分55秒，原子钟时间校准中……]
[Aijieka network connection failed, unable to obtain time calibration synchronization...]
[Unable to obtain the empowerment of Mechanical Sun Soft, turn on the self-disciplined decision-making mode...]
[Loramiya, personality core loading...]
"Loramiya, hostile creatures have been detected. According to the First Law, start cleaning up and connect to the combat unit..."

The rooms on both sides of the passage suddenly opened, and then various cursors flashed on the sleeping mechanical bodies, and each joint began to self-check and start.

"It's not good, this guy is going to kill us." Guy held the knife in one hand and stared at the mechanical angel with his hands spread out in the air. At this moment, the other people were also in a state of nervousness, half crouching, ready to escape and fight at any time.

"Boom."

The sound of mechanical transmission structures came from the passage behind the five people. Those mechanical bodies that had been dormant for thousands of years began to move. Although it was very difficult at the moment, like the movement of joints blocked by rust, the sound of steel hitting the floor was so clear in the quiet underground that it made people's hair stand on end.

For a new race that has lost most of its technology and has declined for hundreds of years, these mechanical bodies that were born in the Fifth Era, an era of fierce war, are extremely efficient life harvesters. The fear of these cold killers is almost engraved in the blood of the survivors.

The four looked around anxiously, ready to escape, but were afraid that their intense activities would attract the other side's attention and they would be attacked immediately.

"Can't communicate?" Sura shouted anxiously and asked Fran.

"No matter how knowledgeable I am, I don't know how to communicate with these mechanical life forms that are thousands of years old." Fran looked at the door that was knocked open behind him, began to move his feet, moved closer to the wall, and raised the gun in his hand.

"Sorry, I'm leaving first." Sherry's legs were shaking at this moment. She ran towards the passage without looking back, completely ignoring the shouts of the people behind her.

Several dim silver ion beams flashed through the passage, and before Sherry could run out, they pierced through his body, cutting off his legs and one arm. If he had not twisted his body hard to dodge before he died, he would have been cut in half by the ion beams.

But his struggle soon came to an end. A pair of metal forelegs as sharp as knives came to his head and pierced the solid floor. He tried hard to move his eyes, but could only see the lower body of the mechanical body in front of him, which had an insect-like abdomen and multiple pairs of limbs.

While everyone else was running away or moving in panic, Tilan in the hall stood still. She stared at the mechanical angel floating in the air, and a strange spiritual perception appeared in her mind.

If a normal person's consciousness is like the flame inside a lampshade, which is always vague and hazy, then the consciousness of the mechanical life in front of her is like the flame without the lampshade, which is extremely clear. She can even hear the 'sound' of the other person's thinking.

'Five humanoids were found. Preliminary scans determined that four of them were anomalous creatures that needed to be eliminated. One of them is pending.'

"Unit 3 attempted to flee, triggering an attack from the autonomous combat unit, and was cut off from its ability to move."

"The combat power of Unit 4 is judged to be below Sequence 3, reducing the threat level. The combat power of Unit 1 is initially judged to be equivalent to Sequence 7, marked as 'Critical', greatly increasing the threat level..."

The emerald color in her eyes instantly turned red, and then the mechanical angel's back and limbs opened their air jets, and her body turned in the air with great flexibility. Sixteen pale ion beams passed through the place where Heshia had just stood. At the moment when the other party took action, Heshia also took action. She kicked up and dodged the ion beams. Then the broken sword in her hand also turned abnormally bright red. The whole sword body was like a gorgeous red glass, emitting a beautiful and enchanting light.

After that, the mechanical angel fired several more shots, many of which were dodged by Heshia, while some that could not be dodged were directly blocked with the sword.

The opponent's strength was roughly equivalent to those contestants in the Winter Festival Competition when Tilan was in High School. His shooting speed was fast and accurate, and his shooting trajectory automatically blocked the girl's space to dodge. Even though Heshia was faster than the opponent, there was an ion beam that she could not dodge, and she could only resist it with her sword and body.

Another pale ion beam hit Tilan's shoulder, burning a torn hole in her black dress, but the skin underneath remained intact.

This guy is always moving around. Tilan hovered in the air, thinking in his heart how to take him down without destroying him.

If she really fought with all her might, this broken mechanical angel would be dismantled into parts in just a few seconds. But if she wanted to find another artificial angel left over from the Fifth Era, she might not have many chances in her lifetime.

There is no other way, let it be damaged. Tilan's heart moved, and then she rushed towards the mechanical angel in the air with the red sword in her hand. Her body changed direction three times in the air, and the sharp sword edge deflected the opponent's rays. Once, she used the sword to knock off the opponent's arm, once she slapped the opponent's head, and once she directly chopped off the mechanical wings behind the opponent, tearing them into symmetrical broken wings.

The mechanical angel that was shot down from the air fell to the ground, rolled several times, and then barely stood up, but by this time Heshia had already landed in front of her.

Slender fingers stretched out from the long sleeves of the black dress and pressed against the other person's brow. The coldness that almost stopped time spread, and even the machines became sluggish at this time.

[Loramiya, encountered force majeure invasion...]
[Loramiya, energy remaining is close to 1%, unable to maintain combat form...]
Although Heshia downplayed the whole process, it was terrifying in the eyes of the others. This seemingly weak girl fought with the mechanical angel in the air at a speed that the others could not catch up with. In a few seconds, she tore the opponent's wings with her sword and smashed it into the ground. At this time, she even lifted the head of the mechanical angel with one hand. The invisible cold air spread, and the temperature of the entire spherical space dropped by nearly 30° in a few seconds, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.

[According to the Third Law, Loramiya can no longer maintain her freedom. To prevent her body and data from falling into the hands of the enemy, she will start the self-destruction process...]
Then, the eyes of this mechanical angel began to change from red to green, and the gaps in its body joints opened again. The orange-red energy began to operate at high speed to fight against the low temperature that was gradually stagnating its body.

What a trouble, the girl thought, but she couldn't force the opponent into a desperate situation at this time, so she had to let go and swept the mechanical angel away with a sword, hitting the inner wall of the dome opposite.

Falling from the curved inner wall, the mechanical angel struggled to stand up again. Fortunately, after escaping danger, the self-destruction process flashing in her eyes stopped temporarily, and her eyes returned to emerald green.

[With insufficient energy, Loramiya cannot continue to fight and scans the environment again, looking for dormant devices and environments...]
Sitting on the ground with his legs slumped, the mechanical angel's body tilted to one side, the light in his eyes changing between bright and dark, losing its previous agility.

How can I capture the other party without making her self-destruct, Heshia thought to herself.

Why not try to reduce her threat level first? She stuck the broken sword into the ground, then opened her hands slightly and walked towards the opponent again. This time the reaction was not so intense. Perhaps this mechanical angel really had no energy left.

As Heshia approached step by step and the people at the scene watched nervously, the mechanical angel suddenly turned his eyes to the right, and two strange red rays shot out from his pupils and hit Heshia's body.

Strands of bright red blood slowly seeped out from the wound on her arm. Tilan looked at the blood drops dripping from her fingertips, shook them off, and then lightly pressed the wound with her fingers, causing it to heal quickly and restore her clear skin.

She just doesn't like to get hurt, which doesn't mean she has poor defense. In fact, she possesses powers similar to 'Brenard' in Shiyuan Junior High School, and may be the witch with the strongest defense and resistance. It's just that in order not to show unusual powers in various competitions in the past, Tilan rarely used this ability.

After launching this attack, the mechanical angel seemed to be exhausted. The patterns and vents on its body completely dimmed and stopped, leaving only its eyes maintaining an extremely dim light.

If it was Loramiya in her prime, she would probably have the combat power of Sequence 7. Unfortunately, after nearly a thousand years of slumber, her energy is severely insufficient. Moreover, because she cannot obtain the authorization of Mechanical Sun Rou, many of her weapons and systems are also restricted. She can only barely exert the combat power of a high-level Sequence 5.

Finally, the child was quieted down. Tilan came to Loloria and slowly straightened her up so that her eyes were facing her. She once again tried to communicate with the mechanical angel in front of her using her mental consciousness.

[Loramiya is receiving a foreign mental invasion and is resisting...]
[Resist failure, resist failure...]
He is still a little stubborn. Heshia thought for a moment, loosened her fingers, and let his head drop.

Just as the girl was about to stand up and look for other possibilities, a little blood rolled down from Loramiya's cheek where she had just touched it, and the tiny blood beads fell on Loramiya's skirt armor and were seen by the dim emerald eyes.

[Observed the blood of Unit 1, conducting genetic analysis...]
[Gene sequencing conforms to the original code, marked as native human, marked as 'friendly army', hostile mode lifted, according to Article 61 of the Human Survival Committee, mechanical life and native humans can help each other in times of crisis...]
[Loramiya, please help...]
"Loramiya, requesting help." For the first time, everyone heard the voice of this mechanical angel, which was just like her appearance, somewhat immature and naive.

Hearing this voice, Tilan turned his head again, helped Loloria up, and asked with a little joy.

"How do you want me to help you?"

"Loramiya needs a gentle infusion of magic."

The mechanical angel then tried its best to turn its body over, exposing its back, and then the armor was cut open, revealing the dim core inside that was almost extinguished.

Gentle magic? Any sequence is fine, or only the magic of the spirit sub sequence is needed. Tilan remembered that her teacher had said that almost all the magic of the Mechanical Council was of the spirit sub sequence.

Unfortunately, Loramiya could no longer speak at this time, so she could only try it slowly on her own.

Recalling the magic conversion formula she learned in college, Tilan slowly converted the output magic into the form of a lepton sequence. Although this conversion was feasible, its efficiency was very low. After converting about 100 units of magic, only 15 units of different-sequence magic remained.

After all, they are magic structures of completely different natures, and it is very difficult to convert them. Efficiency is definitely not something you can expect. Unless it is the legendary angel representing the 'Pure Wind of Change', one can change the magic structure at will with nearly 100% efficiency and achieve nearly universal use.

With Heshia's slow input over the next few minutes, the originally dim core began to glow again, and it was now able to gradually operate on its own.

[Loramiya, energy recovery 3%]
"Loramiya, thank you, thank you for helping me recover." The other party finally calmed down, and his eyes regained some liveliness.

"My name is Heshia Tilan. Can you tell me your experience and story?"

"I, Loramiya, an artificial angel, a beta-polar mechanical life, answer questions from the original human allies."

Finally, after a rather tortuous journey of exploration and battle, Heshia obtained this artificial angel companion from the Fifth Era a thousand years ago.
