Cut off my way home? You'll sacrifice the entire other world in return!

Headquarters of the Mechanical God Cult in the Upper District of Iron Fortress.

This magnificent building, located at the foot of the Tower of Babel, is made of alloy and features golden energy patterns flowing across its exterior walls, exuding a sense of sacredness and technology.

At this time, the headquarters gates were tightly closed.

Hundreds of elite mechanical guards stood ready, and heavy laser turrets were raised, their red warning beams weaving into an impenetrable net.

Archbishop Salon stood in the command room, staring intently at the direction of the gate through the monitor screen.

His half-organic brain was frantically secreting a hormone called fear.

The mainframe overloaded, the entire city went dark, the Executioner squad was wiped out... all of this was telling him one fact.

The man arrived.

"All defense systems activated!"

"Activate Level A alert!"

"Keep him out! Don't let him in!"

Saron roared as he gave the order.

boom!

The voice just fell.

The headquarters' half-meter-thick titanium alloy door dented inwards and then flew off like a cookie struck by a giant hammer.

A figure walked in through the smoke and dust.

Li Fan was holding the broken hydraulic shears in his hand.

"Is this how you treat your guests?"

Li Fan casually threw the hydraulic shears on the ground with a loud bang.

"I thought you were closed down because the door was closed."

"Fire! Fire!!!"

The captain of the guards screamed and gave the order.

Zizizi!

Dozens of high-energy laser beams shot towards Li Fan simultaneously.

These lasers are powerful enough to cut through a tank's armor in an instant.

But Li Fan simply extended his palm outwards.

The laser beams that hit his palms were absorbed as if water were flowing into a sponge.

His palms were slightly red, a sign of energy overload.

"Hmm, the laser smell is a bit weak."

Li Fan made a comment.

"It tastes like unsweetened soda water."

He clenched his fist suddenly.

boom!

An even more violent energy wave erupted from his palm and rushed back.

The laser turrets exploded instantly, and the guards were thrown into the air by the blast wave, falling to the ground like bowling pins.

Li Fan stepped over the wailing guards and walked straight inside.

He casually ripped off the automatic machine gun turrets that had just appeared along the way, crushed them into scrap metal, and threw them aside.

Those high-voltage power grids were like massage chairs to him.

He even deliberately reached out and touched the electric grid.

"Buzz... This electric current is interesting, it's tingling and numbing."

As Li Fan walked, he casually pulled out several thick cables that were still sparking from the wall and stuffed them into his mouth like noodles.

"The skin is a bit tough, remember to peel it next time."

He ate as he walked.

In the monitoring room.

Salon and a group of scientists were completely speechless as they watched this scene unfold.

Is this an intruder?

Whether it's laser energy or special alloys, he accepts anything that contains energy.

"He...he's eating our defense system!"

A scientist broke down and shouted.

"At this rate, he'll eat the whole building dry!"

"Quickly! Activate Absolute Imprisonment!"

Saron gritted his teeth and pressed the last red button.

This is their last trump card.

…………

Li Fan had just walked to the center of the hall.

Sudden.

Four metal pillars rose from the ground around them.

Sizzle!!

A high-energy magnetic field was instantly connected between the four pillars.

A blue spherical force field trapped Li Fan in the middle.

That's a gravity-binding force field.

The internal gravity increased a hundredfold instantly.

Then the ceiling opened.

A laser emitter descended and aimed at Li Fan's head.

"Hahaha! You can't escape now!"

Salong's voice, delivered over the radio, carried a hint of madness.

"This cage was designed to deal with King-level mutated beasts! Under one hundred times the gravity, your bones will be crushed to powder!"

"And that World-Destroying Light can vaporize your body in three seconds!"

"This is the consequence of your blasphemy against the god of machines!"

Li Fan stood in the center of the force field.

The force of 100 times gravity did indeed make him feel a little heavier.

The floor beneath our feet had begun to crack and sink.

But he still stood ramrod straight.

He even stretched his neck a bit.

"A hundred times?"

Li Fan smiled.

"In my previous world, I used to carry a mountain on my back while running to practice my boxing skills."

He looked up at the laser cannon overhead, which was charging up.

The energy fluctuations emanating from that thing made his mouth water.

"What a huge lollipop..."

"Launch! Launch now!!!"

Saron sensed something was wrong and roared wildly.

hum.

A thick, white laser beam crashed down.

The intense heat, enough to vaporize steel, instantly engulfed Li Fan.

"Die! Turn to ashes!"

Saron stared intently at the screen.

The thermal readings on the screen suddenly began to drop strangely.

In that dazzling white light.

A figure slowly walked out.

His mouth was open.

The laser beam, powerful enough to destroy everything, was sucked into his mouth like water.

"Glug."

Li Fan swallowed the last mouthful of light.

He let out a burp.

"It tastes good and it's hot."

He patted his belly with a satisfied look on his face.

Then he looked at the four metal pillars around him that were still maintaining the gravitational field.

"These few look pretty good, quite sturdy."

Li Fan walked up to a pillar.

Hold it with both hands.

work hard.

Click!

He pulled the solid alloy pillar, which was one meter in diameter, out of his hands.

The gravitational field collapsed instantly.

Li Fan hugged that pillar like he was hugging a sugarcane.

"Click."

He took a bite.

"Hmm, it has a high tungsten content and is very crunchy."

There was a deathly silence on the radio.

Saron slumped into his chair, the light in his eyes completely extinguished.

It's all over.

I drink lasers like beverages and chew on force field pillars like sugarcane.

This is not a biological weapon prototype.

A few minutes later.

The door to the command center was kicked open.

Li Fan walked in.

He was still holding half a metal pillar that he hadn't finished eating, and a few drops of coolant were stuck to the corner of his mouth.

A group of scientists huddled in a corner of the command center, trembling with fear.

Archbishop Salon sat in his chair, his mechanical tentacles hanging limply.

"I heard..."

Li Fan chewed up the metal in his mouth and swallowed it.

He walked up to Salon.

Looking down at the once arrogant archbishop.

"You want to dissect me?"

Saron trembled as he looked up at Li Fan's emotionless eyes.

"No... I wouldn't dare..."

"You dare not?"

Li Fan smiled.

He reached out and gently tapped Saron's exposed mechanical head.

Ding ding.

The sound was very crisp.

"Your brain is pretty strong too."

"I wonder what the brains inside taste like? Salty or sweet?"

Salon was so scared that the hydraulic fluid all over his body was about to leak out.

"No...don't eat me..."

"I'm useful! I'm useful!"

Suddenly, Saron remembered something and shouted as if he had grasped at a straw.

"I know where there are bigger batteries!"

"Really! It's a hundred times bigger than here! A thousand times bigger!"

Li Fan's hand stopped.

He was originally planning to twist Saron's head off and have a taste of it.

His eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Oh?"

Li Fan tossed the metal pillar in his hand aside.

He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Saron with an air of authority.

"Tell me more about it."

"If you're lying to me..."

Li Fan pointed to the main control computer next to him, which he had already dismantled in half.

That's what will happen to you.

Salon swallowed hard.

"Deep underground..."

"That is the highest forbidden zone of the Cult of Machines and the origin of this city."

"A severed finger of the previous Destroyer is sealed there."

"A severed finger?" Li Fan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! It's a fragment of the giant's corpse from a thousand years ago!"

"The energy contained within is enough to sustain the entire Iron Fortress for a thousand years!"

"We've been hesitant to use it because the pollution there is too severe..."

Li Fan touched his chin.

The severed finger of the previous host?

So, the corpse of that unlucky guy named Wang Qiang?

Although it sounds a bit disgusting (after all, it's about eating the corpses of one's own colleagues).

but……...

Energy is energy.

To go home, he would eat rice even if it meant losing a finger, let alone his own ashes.

"lead the way."

Li Fan stood up and grabbed Salong.

It's like holding a giant mechanical doll.

"Go to that restricted area."

"I hope that finger..."

Li Fan licked his lips.

"It's not expired."
