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

The roar of the engine shattered the surrounding glass.

The black chariot, sculpted from the entire headquarters of the Mechanicus, resembled a colossal steel beast crouching atop the ruins.

The most eye-catching feature is the roof.

There stood a main gun that looked extremely out of place.

The cannon barrel was thick enough to fit a person inside, and it was wrapped with dense purple cables, the core of which was connected to the severed finger bone that Li Fan had just inserted.

This is a monster that defies aerodynamics, mechanical engineering, and even aesthetics.

But in Li Fan's eyes, it was beautiful.

"Now that's what a car should be like!"

Li Fan sat in the spacious driver's seat and patted the leather steering wheel with satisfaction (it was taken from Archbishop Salon's private collection).

"System, assign a rating to this thing."

[Sizzle...]

The system froze for a while, but then it still produced data.

[Scan complete.]

Vehicle Name: Demon King.

[Armor Strength: S-Rank (Mixed with Divine Cult Alloy and Previous Devourer Bone Powder)]

[Power Source: Core of a Demigod's Remains]

[Special Abilities: Metal Devouring (automatically consumes surrounding metal to repair itself while moving), Magic Cannon (Uncharged)]

[Review: A poorly made, destructive machine]

"Shoddy?"

Li Fan sneered.

"As long as it can kill people, that's fine."

He glanced at the passenger seat next to him.

It was deserted there.

"Come out."

Li Fan waved his hand.

A ripple spread through the space.

A tiny figure appeared out of nowhere and landed on the passenger seat.

The little girl who was brought from the previous world.

She was still holding the tattered doll and rubbing her eyes, seemingly not fully awake yet.

"Demon King brother...where is this?"

The little girl looked out the window, still half asleep.

Outside the window were ruins, a purple sky, and the fleeing inhabitants of Iron Castle.

"New home".

Li Fan said calmly.

"Or rather, a new battlefield."

The little girl pressed her face against the car window, staring at the two purple moons in the sky for a long time with her big eyes.

Suddenly she shivered.

"Brother...the moon is watching us."

Li Fan paused for a moment.

"Are they watching us?"

"Hmm." The little girl pointed at Ziyue, her voice tinged with fear, "It seems very hungry... It wants to eat us."

Li Fan's expression turned serious.

"Don't be afraid."

Li Fan reached out and patted her head.

"If it wants to eat us, we'll eat it first."

"Hold on tight."

Li Fan floored the accelerator.

boom!!!

The Demon King's exhaust pipe spewed out two blue flames, each ten meters long.

The tank shot out like a cannonball.

It did not go through the door.

It crashed through the walls of the upper city, crushed houses along the way, and surged towards the outskirts of the city.

"Aaaaaah! Run! The monster's out!"

"My house! My shop!"

Iron Fortress was in complete chaos.

But no one dared to stop them.

Even the Mechanicus was dismantled, and Skynet was paralyzed with fear. Who would dare to provoke them?

…… ...

wilderness.

The Demon King raced wildly across the Gobi Desert, kicking up clouds of sand and dust.

Li Fan's goal is very clear.

According to information obtained from the data fragments of Devouring Skynet, there is a place called the Fallen Land, 800 kilometers west of Ironfortress.

That was the core area where the Destroyer Wang Qiang self-destructed back then.

It is also the place with the richest source of energy in the world.

If the severed finger was a piece of flesh, then the place where it fell was a whole Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

"As long as I eat there, my energy will be mostly restored."

Li Fan gripped the steering wheel with a determined look in his eyes.

Just then.

Several black dots appeared in the rearview mirror.

Several modified armed flying vehicles were approaching at low altitude and high speed.

The car has a skull and crossbones logo printed on it.

Bounty hunter.

"It seems there are still some who aren't afraid of death."

Li Fan glanced at the radar.

"Beep beep beep, hostile targets detected, number 5."

An arrogant voice came from the radio channel:

"Black vehicle ahead! Stop immediately and turn off the engine!"

"We are the Hunters! No matter who you are, if you hand over the source energy core from the vehicle, we might spare your life!"

Clearly, these people had no idea what had just happened in the city.

All they saw was that the car had come from the headquarters of the cult and that its energy level was extremely high.

People often lose their intelligence when faced with greed.

"Brother, someone is chasing us from behind." The little girl gripped the seatbelt nervously.

"It's nothing, he's just delivering food."

Li Fan smiled.

He pressed a red button on the dial.

"Perfect timing to test out the new weapon."

hum!

The rear of the Demon King's vehicle suddenly split open.

Two mechanical tentacles extended out and danced in the air like octopus tentacles.

The tips of the tentacles are not claws, but mouths made of hydraulic clamps.

The flying cars hadn't even reacted yet.

Swish!

A tentacle shot out instantly.

It directly entangled a flying car.

"What the hell is that?!"

The hunter inside the flying car screamed in terror.

Before he could even fire.

The mechanical maw snapped shut.

Click!

The flying car was bitten in two.

The engine exploded.

But it's not over yet.

The tentacle didn't loosen its grip; instead, it dragged the still-burning wreckage of the flying car back and stuffed it into a furnace opening at the rear of the Demon King's vehicle.

Glug glug.

A chilling chewing sound and the grinding of metal rang out.

[Devouring a lightly armed flying vehicle *1.]

[2 tons of scrap metal were obtained.]

[Armor automatically repairing...]

A red light flashed across the surface of the Demon King, and the scratches caused by its collision with the city wall disappeared instantly.

"What... what kind of monster car is this?!"

The remaining hunters were terrified.

They've seen cars that can be hailed, but they've never seen a car that can eat them!

"Run! Run!"

The car turned around and tried to escape.

But the Demon King's main gun started firing.

The cannon barrel slowly rotated and aimed at the fleeing vehicle.

Purple lightning gathered at the muzzle of the cannon.

"goodbye."

Li Fan pulled the trigger.

boom!!!

A purple beam of light pierced through the wilderness.

Those flying cars, along with the surrounding sand dunes within a few hundred meters, were instantly evaporated.

Not even a crumb was left.

"The power is a bit excessive."

Li Fan shook his head.

"A lot of metal was wasted; it's more cost-effective to just eat it directly next time."

He glanced at the little girl.

The little girl was looking at him with her mouth wide open, her face full of adoration.

"Brother is so amazing!"

"That's right."

Li Fan raised his eyebrows smugly.

"Hold on tight, we're about to speed up."

The Demon King roared once more and sped off into the depths of the wilderness.

And at the far end of the sky.

A strange crystalline forest shimmered with an eerie light under the purple moon.

That's where it crashed.

It is also the graveyard of countless adventurers.
