I have a city in another world

"What the hell is this?"

Upon seeing the enormous fist, some cultivators couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and quickly dodged to the side.

The giant fist landed on the ground, smashing rocks and breaking some tents and equipment into pieces.

As the fist was raised, a deep crater appeared before them.

At this moment, some people saw the true appearance of the giant fist and became even more terrified and confused.

It turns out that this huge fist was connected to half of a withered forearm behind it, and then a thin and long arm.

It looked malnourished, appearing as skin and bones, and its surface was covered with scabies scars.

Looking further back, an arm was connected to a strange figure, about three meters tall, wearing a heavy plate armor.

His head and face were covered by a heavy full-face helmet, making it impossible to see his specific features, but wisps of black and red smoke drifted out from the gaps in his armor.

The proportions of his fists to his body are completely out of balance, making it look unusually awkward.

Upon seeing this eerie figure, everyone was shocked, never expecting such a monster to be behind the passage.

But in the blink of an eye, he regained his composure.

The secret realm is full of unknowns, and anything can happen, but the explorers were already mentally prepared.

The giant hand monster before them was indeed quite rare. It didn't feel like an ordinary mechanical puppet, but rather more like a mutated flesh and blood body.

The palpable aura of malevolence suffocated the group of explorers, yet they launched an attack without hesitation.

When faced with such a dangerous monster, the task is not to hide or run away, but to do everything in your power to kill it.

Unless we are certain we can escape, it's either you or me who dies.

After their initial panic subsided, the explorers quickly began to organize a counterattack, deploying a variety of alchemical weapons in turn.

The profession of explorer of secret realms is a high-end profession, attracting a large number of cultivators and giving rise to a large number of supporting industries.

Many of the weapons and equipment developed for the secret realm are incredibly powerful, and some of them are armor-piercing weapons that can easily penetrate mechanical puppets.

Entering the mechanical puppet's interior will cause corrosion and explosion, resulting in a stronger killing effect.

Various types of armor-piercing projectiles, including energy shock bombs, were continuously hurled at the giant hand monster.

The explosions continued, accompanied by dazzling flashes of light, and the energy surge sent debris flying everywhere.

Such a fierce attack was concentrated on the giant hand monster, yet it failed to destroy it.

Those broken wounds, in the blink of an eye, automatically healed as if they were new.

Especially that giant fist, it seemed to possess magical abilities, automatically dissipating all kinds of damage upon contact.

Despite their all-out attack, they were unable to kill or stop the monster; instead, it continued to get closer.

The explorers, unable to dodge in time, were repeatedly attacked and smashed into a bloody pulp by the enormous fists.

The explorers realized something was wrong after suffering a series of severe losses in a short period of time.

They dared not fight any longer and decided to retreat and retreat to a safe location first.

To guard against unforeseen circumstances, checkpoints are set up at intervals along the passage, which not only prevent outsiders from entering but also intercept dangers within the secret realm.

This is exactly the situation where the barrier comes in handy; it can be used to block the monsters' attacks.

As a group of disheveled explorers were forced to retreat, they suddenly heard a roar.

Then they saw that the invincible fist suddenly freeze in mid-air.

It was as if an invisible hand was blocking the rune-covered fist, preventing it from launching any further attacks.

The figure, clad in armor, struggled relentlessly, trying to break free from control and regain its freedom.

The passage fell silent instantly, and the explorers all looked over, confused as to what had happened.

At this moment, someone noticed that Olivia, who was standing to the side, raised one of her arms in mid-air. Looking at the enormous fist, everyone realized something: could it be that Olivia had intervened?
They had already concluded that Olivia was merely a puppet, and that there must be a powerful figure behind her.

But at this moment, the explorers' thoughts wavered, realizing that Olivia was not as simple as they had imagined.

There's no need to delve too deeply into the truth now; let's just hope she can defeat the giant hand monster before her.

If someone can open the portal in a short time on their own, they must also have a way to deal with the giant hand monster.

Having strong hacking capabilities does not equate to formidable combat strength; the two are not directly related.

The monster, its fists pinned, let out an angry roar, its eyes flashing red beneath its mask, and more blood mist gushed out.

The giant fist had jagged veins and many complex runes gradually appearing on its surface.

Its volume expanded instantly, its skin and flesh tore open, and foul-smelling blood dripped out.

It's clearly exerting force, trying to break free from its restraints.

Taking this opportunity, everyone got a clear look at the monster's appearance, and their shock intensified.

They are experienced and have a thorough understanding of the secret realm, able to glean more information from subtle details.

Many exploration experts were stunned, because the analysis results told them that the giant hand was very likely related to the gods.

The higher-ups in the expedition organization knew more about the secret realm and that it held secrets about the gods.

I thought it was hidden deep inside and would take a long time to come into contact with, but it suddenly jumped out.

I felt surprised, but even more so, I was overjoyed.

These wizards of the astral plane have no superstitious reverence for the gods; instead, they are driven by greed and desire.

They yearn to hunt down gods to pave their own path to heaven, so that they can go higher and farther.

However, hunting down gods is an extremely difficult task, something that ordinary wizards wouldn't even consider.

As a second-best option, obtaining the remains of a deity becomes the best choice.

This enormous fist is very likely the remains of a deity, which were then implanted using special methods.

What appears to be a simple procedure is actually extremely difficult. It requires not only a suitable transplant recipient but also resistance to the devouring power of divinity, otherwise the transplanted individual will be consumed and become nourishment for the remains of the gods.

Although the remains of gods are corpses, they possess incredible vitality and are able to devour all kinds of flesh and blood creatures.

If you are not prepared, you will merge with the remains of the gods and eventually become nourishment for them.

For cultivators who study mechanical puppets, and wizards who practice flesh and blood modification, the monster before them is an excellent subject of study.

Under normal circumstances, the explorer's job is to capture it, unless there is no other choice but to kill it.

Of course, at this moment, they had no choice but to quietly act as bystanders.

They hoped Tang Zhen would win and subdue the giant hand monster, but they also didn't want him to take the benefits.

If Tang Zhen were to subdue this giant hand monster, he would certainly be entitled to enjoy the spoils of war.

The problem is that the secret realm is their territory, and they will not allow others to trespass on it.

Although according to the rules of the alliance, the secret realm is shared by all wizards, and every practitioner is qualified to enter and explore for their gains.

But the so-called rules are nothing more than a fig leaf to deceive the weak, covering up a group of toads in the well, while those standing outside the well never take them seriously.

If one possesses great power, one can break through the rules and be free from the restrictions of those in power.

At this moment, the onlookers were even more eager for reinforcements to arrive quickly, so that Tang Zhen wouldn't be left to control the situation alone.

Then they saw Olivia suddenly swing her fist.

The armored figure was slammed to the ground by an invisible force, the heavy armor plates twisted and deformed. (End of Chapter)
