Poverty makes me capable of anything.

His entire body was encased in silvery-white metal, and his eyes gleamed with an unfocused red light.

Although it looks like a heavily armored warrior, it is much more imposing than a heavily armored warrior.

After pacing back and forth for a short while, the strange man began to proclaim in an odd tone—

"Disaster is imminent. If you want to avoid it, join the Cult of the Machine God!"

These words, coupled with his strange attire, quickly drew a large crowd to the man.

"Disaster? What disaster?" someone asked.

"A disaster from outer space: a giant tree that has lived for tens of millions of years will rot the entire planet, and no one will survive."

"Planet? What's that?"

"The place where you are."

"He's acting strangely and doesn't seem like a decent person."

"Perhaps it's some kind of cult."

The young man was watching from the sidelines when he saw the tribal elders ask the strange man to leave.

The strange man claims to be from the Cult of Machine God and is a mechanical puppet created by the cult.

He described a vast world to the clan elders and also mentioned the ferocious tree.

"As long as you are willing to join our Cult of the Machine God, you can receive our protection."

"So, what constitutes joining the Cult of the Machine God?"

"The whole clan should move to the Dawn Camp and worship the God of Myriad Machines."

The clan elder remained silent for a moment, then said directly, "Show the guest out."

The mechanical puppet was then happily sent away.

As a mission machine devoid of emotion, the mechanical puppet is not angry at all.

Anran's order was to persuade them if possible, and if not, let the big tree teach them a lesson with its iron fist and turn this place into a training ground for the players.

The mechanical puppet faithfully carried out Anran's orders.

After being driven out, he went into hiding on a nearby uninhabited planet.

Within days, the giant tree descended, bringing with it a terrifying power that would overthrow the planet's inhabitants.

Inhuman!

The young man changed his sitting posture.

What role did the Mechanicus cult play in this disaster?

Are they saviors, or are they the ones who instigate the disaster?

If we had obeyed that mechanical puppet back then, would everything have been different?

Just then, an even bigger commotion came from outside.

The sharp stalactites were about to fall, and the young man quickly stood up. Screams echoed throughout the cave.

"This won't do. Should we keep going in?"

He hadn't considered leaving the situation; the giant vine had been too much of a shock to him.

But just as he was struggling with this decision, a gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside the cave.

The wind blew upwards, and with a deafening roar, the young man was astonished to find that the entire cave had been blown away.

They stood on the bare ground, watching the vines lash down fiercely.

"what--"

Screams erupted one after another.

The young man's body froze, completely unable to move.

He watched as the vines were blocked by a layer of light, and he also saw more than a dozen light blades fly over and cut the vines in half.

Whizzing--

Then, more than a dozen mechs, each over twenty meters tall, sped past.

Oh, and there are also many small aircraft.

However, these things are all "unidentified flying objects" to young people.

What the hell?

What's going on?

What exactly happened?

He saw explosions constantly appearing in the sky. Those unidentified flying objects were moving so fast that he could only see afterimages no matter how hard he tried.

A monster tried to stop a mech, but was cut in two by the mech's raised lightsaber in the next second.

"It's still a long way off!"

Inside the cockpit, Red Nova bumped his fist, his face beaming with excitement.

Pilot the mecha.

After collecting so many versions, he finally bought his own mech!

"Iwaki!"

Red Nova unleashed a wide-area attack on the areas where otherworldly monsters were most concentrated.

A flash of brown light, and his blue bar instantly emptied by one-fifth.

As the earth shook, a circular rock wall several hundred meters high rose from underground, sealing all the monsters inside.

"This is no ordinary wall; this is the Wall of Sighs that you are about to face!"

With a pull of both hands backward, the mecha's kinetic energy system was immediately activated to its highest level.

A blinding light shone everywhere—on the shoulders, chest, and sides of the waist and abdomen.

boom--

Countless shells and energy beams hurtled toward the rock wall.

At the moment of the collision, Red Nova's personal panel was filled with damage indicators.

The densely packed damage numbers were even more numerous than the smoke and dust.

The roaring energy coalesced into a ball, and finally exploded with a deafening roar.

Boom!

The young man standing in the light screen stared in astonishment at the scene before him, where monsters that even the Grandmaster couldn't defeat were lying dead on the ground.

"This……"

"That's all there is to it!"

He then saw another person fly by in the air.

As soon as he finished speaking, cross-shaped cuts appeared everywhere in the gloomy sky.

Each cut marks the death of a monster.

"..."

"These things."

The elder was breathing rapidly. He didn't know if this was a human or not, but he saw a mechanical puppet standing still in the air.

Is this the Cult of Machine God?

After casting down an energy shield, the planet became the arena for competition between the Red Nova Guild and the Sky Guild, which had only recently joined the Time-Space Guild.

After the first round of holy light baptism from the fleet, the vines thrown down by the big tree had already lost more than half their health.

At this point, it won't be so difficult for players to deal with them.

Led by the red nova and carbonated drinks, the players made their way through the ruins seven times over, until not a single living monster could be found, before reluctantly returning to the spaceship.

The next negotiation task involves the mechanical golem.

Before the survivors of the sector's native inhabitants, the mechanical golem simply repeated what it had said before: "If you are willing to join our Cult of the Machine God, you can receive our protection."

Is there really no other choice?

The elder gave a bitter smile; he didn't have time to think about whether this was a conspiracy by the Cult of the Machine God.

When they boarded the spaceship, broke through the atmosphere, and looked back at the shattered planet, the indigenous people were all shocked.

Is this the true nature of the world we live in?

At that moment, they truly felt the "power" of the "Cult of the Machine God"!

That immense power was just like the impact that the deep space world had on them!

In addition, there was a mechanical puppet that had been "brainwashed" by An Ran standing next to them, "brainwashing" them as well: "These are all gifts from the God of Myriad Machines!"

This is real divine power, not some imagined god!

The young man stood by the window, his hands pressed against the glass, trembling with excitement.

At this moment, the Cult of the Machine God gained over 100,000 more followers.

They will be taken to the land inhabited by the sea people, and under their guidance, they will contribute to the growth and expansion of the Mechanicus.

Those with combat talent will be taken to the [War Front] under Juliana's jurisdiction, while those with research talent will undergo systematic training. Those with good aptitude will be sent to Erin's [Eye of Technology] laboratory, while those with less aptitude will become [Mechanical Evangelists] of the Cult of Machines, responsible for the manual maintenance of mechanical equipment in various regions.

This was an era of great development for the Mechanicus.

The severe damage that Judd had anticipated did not materialize.

This is also the era when Enron is about to prosper.

In the process of chasing the tree, Anran discovers that some of the "tree sons" it releases are quite weak, but some have the potential to evolve into top-tier star killers.

In the process of devouring and extracting energy from the other world, these "tree sons" grew stronger and stronger.

An Ran did not choose to exterminate them directly, but instead constantly drove them away, making them overdraw their future under the crisis and desperately absorb energy from the other world to strengthen themselves.
