My timeless tavern

Chapter 567 Alita's Strength
Although Alita's new body is made of lotus root, after being refined by the seven-colored lotus and calcined by the Samadhi True Fire, it is no different from the mortal body of an ordinary person.

If there is any difference, it is that her new body is more sensitive to spiritual energy, so she can achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing.

Such a physique cannot be compared with the immortal bodies of Chenxiang and others, or the indestructible body of Sun Wukong, but it is still incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Alita didn't know this.

She felt this new body carefully and found it very subtle.

Seeing her kneading casually with a curious smile on her face and trying to tear off her clothes, Alice hurriedly walked to her side, grabbed her arm, and said, "Stop it now!"

Alita asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

As far as she can remember, her body has been made of machines.

This was the first time she had ever had a body like this, so naturally she didn't understand secular concepts such as the differences between men and women.

For cyborgs, there is only cognitive gender, and the body itself has no gender differences or concepts.

Alice grew up in the end times, but she is not lacking in knowledge about these things.

After her explanation, Alita vaguely understood, but it also gave rise to more questions.

After a while, Tushan Honghong and Lin Daiyu were both pulled into the discussion.

Although Tushan Honghong is a fox demon matchmaker, she is still very young and doesn't know much about this. On the contrary, Lin Daiyu, who is a little younger and lost her mother at a young age, knows the most and speaks very well, attracting envious and flattering looks.

Since leaving the Chaos Bell, Su Luo, who was sitting by the window reading a book, heard a conversation between several people and felt a little strange.

He never thought that such a physiology class could be held in a tavern, and the lecturer was the eloquent Lin Daiyu.

While Alita was being taught a lesson by several people, Gruishka, who had had one arm removed and was half-crippled, had been replaced with a brand new body.

As the most wanted criminal and the overlord of the underground world, he, like Victor, the black market broker in Scrap City and the chief sponsor of the mobile ball, are all Nova's minions left in Scrap City.

So after hearing about the powerful methods demonstrated by Alita, Nova became interested, and had someone repair and strengthen Greushka, and asked him to capture Alita.

Most of the parts on Gruyshka's body came from Hugo. He removed these parts from other cyborgs and sold them to Victor for money, hoping to save enough money to go to Salem through him.

The doctor who performed the operation on Gruyshka was a skilled female doctor, who was also Victor's lover, named Qilian.

The reason why she stayed with Victor was because he promised to send her back to Salem.

She had lived there until her daughter fell ill.

She has another identity, she is Dr. Yide's ex-wife.

After his body was repaired and strengthened, and chain claws were added, Gruishka's combat power was greatly enhanced.

Now he felt that he had no rivals in the Scrap Iron City.

He had only one thought in mind, which was to capture and kill Alita and present her to Nova.

He still remembers clearly how Alita defeated him with fierce means that day, which makes him extremely angry.

This is a shame!

He wants to wash away his guilt with the other party's wailing and begging for mercy!
While Gruishka was looking for Alita, Alita had just gotten her first glass of wine.

Magneto gene wine worth 50,000 time and space coins.

She actually preferred the Hulk gene wine, or the more valuable Fire Giant Surtur gene wine, but these two wines were more valuable and she simply couldn't afford them.

Even this glass of wine almost used up all her savings, and the remaining amount was only enough to buy a glass of Green Devil Fortified Wine for Ed.

Alita held the wine glass, looked at the clear wine, took a deep breath, then raised her head and drank it all.

The fragrant aroma of wine instantly spread over the tip of her tongue and flowed down her throat.

After the wine completely entered her stomach, Alita immediately felt the changes in her body.

Her consciousness seemed to begin to spread, and her perception of her surroundings became different.

Looking around, she felt a little regretful.

There was nothing here suitable for her to practice on.

It is rare to have such extraordinary means, and Alita can't wait to try her own fighting power.

She was so eager to try that she just chatted absentmindedly with the others for a few minutes and then said goodbye in a hurry and left.

When she got back, she was still at the bottom of the lake.

After losing her mechanical body, the lake water suddenly flooded into her mouth and nose.

For the first time, Alita felt the pain of suffocation.

She subconsciously struggled in the water and instinctively rushed towards the lake surface.

More and more water poured into her body from her mouth and nose, making her brain dizzy, so that the light in her vision became farther and farther away.

But just when this discomfort almost reached its peak, a cool feeling suddenly spread through her body.

After a moment, the discomfort in her body gradually disappeared.

Alita was still in the water, blinking in confusion.

She looked at her hands and vaguely understood: "Is it because my body is made of lotus root that I can adapt to water?"

"But it's still too weak. I have to buy some fine wine to improve my physique in the future." She shook her head again.

Letting her body float freely in the water, she squinted her eyes, silently feeling her surroundings, and then activated her superpowers.

The bottom of the lake shook violently, and an invisible force instantly surged through the body, carrying Alita out of the water like an arrow.

Alita's body shook as she rushed high into the sky. She finally managed to control this strange force to stabilize herself.

Looking at the lake at her feet, the cities and mountains in the distance, and Salem hanging high in the sky, Alita felt wonderful and her mood became excited.

She began to cautiously test her own strength.

Under her control, all the metal objects that had fallen to the bottom of the lake floated up into the air and circled above the lake.

She also controlled the magnetic field to make herself fly in the air, and the lake water below continued to surge, making huge waves.

After a long while, Alita realized that someone in the distance seemed to have discovered the strange phenomenon here and was rushing towards here, so she quickly found a flat ground to land.

The clothes she was wearing were given by Alice.

Earlier, when Taiyi Zhenren helped her forge her body, he only gave her a set of robes that could cover her body shape.

After floating back and forth in the air for a long time, Alita's clothes were almost dry.

She simply tidied her hair and walked towards the clinic.

In the clinic, Dr. Ide is processing and polishing some scraps he picked up, turning them into limbs suitable for cyborgs.

After hearing the noise, he looked back and when he saw it was Alita, he nodded casually.

But just as he looked away, he suddenly looked back again.

He stared at Alita for several seconds, then put down the tools in his hands with a clang and strode towards Alita.

The two were only about one meter apart.

Ido looked at Alita's hair and face in disbelief, then looked at her neck, and finally focused his gaze on her hands.

"Can I see it?" He tried to control his emotions.

Alita stretched out her hands, thought for a moment, and pulled her sleeves up again.

"Who did this?" Doctor Yide's voice trembled. "Is this... a flesh and blood body?"

Alita smiled and nodded, and said, "I am from a fairy named Taiyi Zhenren."

immortal?

Yide was a little confused. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a loud bang.

The door of the clinic was blown open!
A mechanical claw flew into the clinic and headed straight towards Alita.

"Be careful!" Dr. Ed was horrified.

In an instant, the mechanical claw was above Alita's head, and Ide was too late to stop it.

He showed a look of horror and subconsciously stretched out his hand, then was shocked to find that he had actually caught it.

The claws felt icy cold, with a little rust on them, and they were suspended in mid-air without moving, leaving Yide bewildered for a moment.

When did I become so strong?
After a moment of trance, he quickly woke up.

It's not me, but the thing itself that has stopped.

When he withdrew his hand, the mechanical claw remained motionless in the air.

Ido subconsciously looked at Alita.

Alita turned around slowly and looked up at the big guy who was stuck in the door.

The guy was too big and the door of the clinic was too small, so he had to bend over with most of his body outside.

When Alita looked over, a crackling sound was heard.

Under Ide's incredulous gaze, the big guy's body was shrinking.

It was as if an invisible big hand was holding it in the palm of its hand, squeezing it little by little.

Yide saw the person clearly, it was Gruishka.

The overlord of the underground world has obviously undergone modified body shape, making him look even more threatening.

However, when he saw him like a helpless little chick, his huge body turned into a metal ball in the blink of an eye, leaving only the lonely head intact, Yide did not feel a trace of fear in his heart, but only deep doubts.

Swish!
A breeze came from his side, and the mechanical claw flew out and stopped in front of Greushka's head.

"Who asked you to come?" Alita asked.

Even though he had already guessed that it was all done by her, Yide's mind was still full of disbelief.

Gruishka was not frightened, but smiled morbidly: "You want to find him?"

"You dare to look for him?" He smiled strangely.

For him, who was thrown into the sewer as a baby and grew up on feces and garbage, he never knew what fear was.

He liked killing. When he saw the fear and helplessness of his victims, he felt indescribable joy that filled his empty heart.

He desires power more!

Alita looked at him coldly, and moved the mechanical claw forward a little: "Who?"

"Nova!" Gruishka betrayed his superior without hesitation, his voice even a little excited, "He lives in Salem, go find him if you can!"

"If you are willing to tell me where your power comes from, I can help you find Victor and ask him to send you..."

Gruishka's words suddenly stopped.

Ide looked and saw that his entire head had been pierced by the mechanical claws.

There was an inexplicable hint of a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

Ide stared at Alita blankly, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Did Taiyi Zhenren also give you this power?"

When he lived in Salem, he read some miscellaneous books and heard of this immortal in ancient Eastern mythology.

But what Alita means now is, are those gods real?

Alita hesitated, then nodded, "Yes."

With the persuasion of several new friends in the tavern, she did not intend to share the secrets of the tavern.

Dr. Ide is certainly a good man, but what if the power brought by the tavern arouses the dark side of his heart?
Seeing that Yide seemed unconvinced, she said, "I have prepared a gift for you, wait a moment."

Before Ide could say anything, Alita's figure suddenly disappeared.

He tried to reach out and grab, but he only grabbed air, there was no one around.

Yide clenched his fists, the shock on his face was beyond words.

It really disappeared out of thin air!
The most cutting-edge technology he knew of was far from capable of doing this.

After a moment, Ido took the Green Goblin fortified wine handed to him by Alita.

As soon as he drank the glass of wine, he immediately felt the transformation of his body.

Grabbing a scattered mechanical arm on the ground, he exerted force with both hands, and with a click, the alloy mechanical arm was easily bent by him.

Yide was excited for a moment, but soon calmed down.

He thought of what Gruishka said before he died, looked at Alita and said, "Are you going to Salem?"

Alita nodded.

"You want to deal with Nova?" Ide asked.

Alita nodded: "He is the culprit that caused all this!"

Although Ide once lived in Salem and was not familiar with Nova, he could also imagine that the other party was extraordinary.

Just wanting to enter the floating city of Salem is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

He wanted to persuade her, but before he could say anything, he heard a banging sound coming from the surroundings.

Then, Ide was horrified to see that all the metal objects in the room were floating up.

Not only that, Alita's entire body slowly floated up from the ground.

Those alloy objects surrounded her in the center, making her look like an angel descending from earth.

"Dad, do you think I'm strong enough?" Alita said in a cold tone.

Ed was shocked.

His mind was filled with the word "Dad", as if he saw the daughter who once sat in a wheelchair waking up again.

He suppressed his excitement and tried to calm himself down.

Knowing that Alita had made up her mind and that she now possessed such incredible strength, the probability of success was extremely high, and he nodded vigorously.

"Salem is different from other places. You must be fully prepared first." Ide took a deep breath and said, "I will take you to find someone."

The person he was looking for was his ex-wife Qilian.

After the two separated, he learned that the other party had been following Victor and trying to return to Salem.

Both Qilian and Victor knew more about Salem than he did.

The two of them went to the door, and after a few minutes of fighting, Alita easily subdued Victor.

She had just asked a few questions when Victor's expression suddenly changed.

"Nova?" Alita asked.

"Smart..." Victor's smile was a little creepy, "I'll wait for you in Salem!"

After he finished speaking, his head tilted and he died.
