Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Main engine room.

A golden light shone, and Liu Nian stepped out of the void, landing steadily.

The sight here made him pause for a moment.

The massive mechanical shell—the repair machine that originally imprisoned the soul of Mechagon—stood silently in the center of the workshop, its chest armor plates open, its internal core long since extinguished, like an abandoned empty shell.

And on the ground next to this empty shell stood an exceptionally large spider servant.

The Spider Servant is about three meters tall. Its shell is made of the silver-white metal that is a hallmark of the Starry Night Gnome. The surface is covered with intricate star patterns, and a pale blue energy halo slowly flows at the joints of its eight mechanical limbs.

Its compound eyes are no longer ordinary red optical lenses, but two energy cores burning with golden light.

On its belly, an open, transparent armor plate revealed a fist-sized, slowly rotating perpetual engine core.

"You're back." Mechagon's voice came from the spider servant's mouthparts, calm and composed. "Better than I expected."

Liu Nian looked at him, taken aback: "What's wrong with you...?"

"I extracted my soul." Mechagon's spider legs twitched, the joints making a crisp mechanical sound. "That body was a cage that Shams prepared specifically for me, with his soul restriction embedded inside. As long as I'm still inside that body, he can kill me at any time through the soul restriction."

"So you changed bodies?"

“This spider servant wasn’t created by the Golden City, so it’s outside Shams’s control.” Mechagon paused. “However, although it has a different body, it’s still essentially a prisoner of Shams, unless…”

Liu Nian's heart skipped a beat.

"Become your servant!" Mechagon paused, his tone becoming serious. "You are an adventurer. By becoming your servant, I can completely break free from the soul seal, avoid the risk of being stripped of my body with a single thought by Shams, and be cursed to death, thus escaping Shams' control!"

[System notification: Mechagon (Spider Servant Form) requests to establish a pet contract with you.]

Liu Nian immediately clicked "agree"!

Are you kidding me? Where else can you find such a good deal?!

Immediately afterwards, Liu Nian checked Mechagon's attribute panel:

------------------

Anti-magic metal shell, magic immunity

【talent】

1. Infinite Proliferation (Core Talent)

Mechagon's main body is composed of 1000 anti-magic metal spider servants. As long as enough anti-magic rocks are provided, this number can be increased indefinitely. For each additional spider servant, Mechagon's attributes are permanently increased by 0.01%; conversely, if one is destroyed, it is reduced by 0.01%.

It can freely switch between three modes:

Split Form: All spider servants disperse into independent units, capable of performing tasks such as reconnaissance, repair, gathering, and exploration. Spider servants can share vision and perception through energy fluctuations.

Aggregation Form: Spider servants aggregate into one or more mechanical units (such as spider swarms or spider-shaped war beasts), and their attributes increase linearly with the number of aggregates.

Spider King Form: Combine at least 1000 spider servants into one, transforming into a three-meter-tall spider king behemoth; the strength and size of this form can also be continuously improved through additional fusions.

2. Undead Swarm (Passive)

As long as one spider servant survives, Mechagon will not truly die. Surviving spider servants can regenerate and multiply by consuming anti-magic ore and energy.

3. Legendary Engineer (Passive)

Mechagon is proficient in all the technical systems of the Engineering Gnomes and some of the technologies of the Star Gnomes, such as:

Repair, manufacturing, and upgrading of perpetual engines (currently possessing the complete technology chain);

Design of floating city transformation and leap system;

Smelting of anti-magic alloys and manufacturing of constructs;

Analysis and control of the core system architecture of the Intelligent Ark;

Design and modification of city-level defense systems, energy networks, and transmission arrays;

It can identify, crack, and repair most mechanical traps, mechanisms, and malfunctions.

[Support Skills]

1. Mechanical repair (passive/active)

Mechagon can repair all mechanical units, buildings, and equipment.

Passive: When the pet is active, all friendly buildings and mechanical units within 50 meters of the owner automatically and slowly regenerate durability.

Active: Consumes energy reserves to quickly repair a designated target (repair speed and energy consumption depend on the target size and extent of damage).

2. Engineering Scan (Active)

Mechagon emits scanning waves to probe the surrounding environment for mechanical structures, hidden mechanisms, energy nodes, and resource distribution. The scan results are presented to the master in the form of holographic images.

3. Resource transformation (proactive)

Mechagon can transform various raw materials (ores, metals, and remnants of discarded structures) into engineering materials, with the transformation efficiency depending on the quality and quantity of the materials.

Liu Nian glanced at Mechagon's attribute interface; every Eternal Being was extraordinary!

As long as Mechagon has the Anti-Magic Rock, it can be strengthened and grown almost endlessly!

Although this guy is classified as a support type, with enough anti-magic rocks, he is definitely the most promising of all Liu Nian's pets!

While Liu Nian was examining Mechagon's attributes, Mechagon wasn't idle either; the Eternal Engine core in his abdomen glowed with rings of pale blue light...

Soon after, a huge holographic projection appeared on the wall—a three-dimensional structural diagram of the entire Golden City, more detailed than the one shown to Liu Nian before, which included some engineering design drawings.

"Master, I'm about to begin the transfer of authority." Mechagon's voice carried a hint of solemnity. "However, I must remind you that Shams is still the nominal lord of this city. Although his soul is currently suppressed by Dracono, his system-level ownership has not been completely stripped away. I can only hide a backup lord's authority under his existing authority. Only after his complete death will this backup lord's authority be activated and take effect, at which point you will automatically become the successor to this city!"

Mechagon paused, then added, "Of course, I will also transfer control of most of the city's defenses and some other secondary permissions to you right now! Since he is currently preoccupied, you can safely operate the facilities under these permissions."

On the holographic projection, countless nodes lit up with blue light one after another.

"The right to use the teleportation array, control of some defensive turrets, the internal monitoring network, and the energy pipelines have been transferred..." Mechagon's eyes flickered.

Liu Nian looked at the lit nodes on the holographic projection and nodded.

"That's enough," he said. "As long as the teleportation array works!"
