Players’ NPC daddy.

The mechanical worms surrounding Chiron turned their eyes at the same time. Each mechanical worm had an eye in its head, and those eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding.

Tens of thousands of mechanical worms shot out red lasers at the same time, forming a laser net that could not be blocked by fists to cut Chiron.

Chiron's back opened, and countless jammers were fired out. The jammers were shredded by the lasers, and the tiny crystals in them changed the direction of the lasers, which in turn cut open the surrounding mechanical worms, triggering a series of explosions.

"Parenting!!!"

A hysterical roar came from behind Chiron, followed by heavy footsteps. A large number of mechanical worms twisted together as if they were summoned, mimicking bones and muscles, and finally forming the appearance of Merlin.

The extremely muscular scholar from the Age of Gods said so. When facing a fellow scholar from the Age of Gods as an enemy, the technology of the Age of Gods is powerless against the opponent. At this time, the only way to decide the outcome is to use the most unpretentious, primitive and brutal fighting.

Merlin used mechanical worms to piece together a giant body four or five meters tall, raised his huge fist and punched Chiron.

Countless jets opened at his elbows, spurting out ferocious cones of flame, a blow so powerful that it would not only crush the enemy, but would completely destroy the self.

Unlike Merlin who was like a volcanic eruption, Chiron was like a deep pool, quietly pushing out his fist.

The two fists collided, Chiron's legs sank, and Merlin's body began to break apart from the collision. If it was just a normal shattering, Merlin could make the broken parts change their shape again and launch an attack, but Chiron's blow destroyed the metal structure that made up his body, making it completely scrapped and unusable.

"Ahhh-"

Merlin, unwilling to believe in evil, summoned more mechanical worms to repair his body. He gave up his advantage in numbers and continued to assemble a more ferocious body, determined to defeat Chiron head-on.

"I don't believe it! You're just a parenting AI, not a combat type at all!"

"Even if you use this body, you can never be my opponent. I am the Ark AI! The highest technological achievement of mankind!"

"What a pity..." Chiron sighed softly, his face showing pity.

It's a pity that Merlin, as an AI, is infinitely close to humans, but it is because of these terrible negative emotions.

He is so lucky.

"Let's end it." Chiron clenched his fists suddenly, and the mechanisms in his body shifted accordingly. All unnecessary functions were shut down, leaving only a structure that perfectly simulated the human body.

[Pankrasin·Eighty-Eight Stars in the Sky] is in position.

"【Aries Derivative】——Double Horns"

There was a gleam in Chiron's eyes, and Merlin subconsciously stopped, like a frog being stared at by a snake, unable to escape.

It wasn't some special locking skill, it was just a feeling of fear.

The surrounding mechanical worms surged wildly, but they couldn't even stop Chiron for a moment. When they were engulfed in the sea of ​​fire, Chiron had already passed through them and headed straight for Merlin.

At this moment, a blue scabbard cut through the black mechanical worms and stood in front of Chiron. The horn that could penetrate even a lion's skin hit the scabbard like a stone thrown into the ocean.

It just caused a few ripples.

Chapter 1254: The Shell of King Uther

Scabbard?

Chiron narrowed his eyes in confusion, [Aries Derivative: Double Horns], a horn attack that simulates the speed of Aries. The speed of this move is just like a galloping Aries, so fast that it can even destroy his own body, and in exchange it has the highest destructive power among the [Eighty-Eight Stars in the Sky].

Even if there is a shield that is not pierced by the [Double Horns], the shield itself will be knocked away, and the person holding the shield will be shattered.

However, this scabbard absorbed all the power of the [Double Horns], and it did not simply absorb the damage after being attacked, but continued to absorb power when approaching the scabbard, until the power was reduced to zero when it touched the scabbard.

After hesitating for less than 0.01 seconds, Chiron immediately changed direction, still using [Aries Derivative - Double Horns], but this time the target was not Merlin protected by the scabbard, but the mechanical worms around him.

Merlin understood Chiron's purpose after a pause of 0.03 seconds. He immediately gave orders, and all the mechanical worms dispersed and regrouped into a giant mechanical worm.

"Unfortunately, I only completed 30% of the 25% I expected to scrap." Chiron used the sigh function again, exhaled, and the heat energy accumulated in his body was also exhaled.

"This is... I didn't realize you had any friends."

Chiron's sight fell on the person holding the scabbard. The scabbard did not appear for no reason. This person rushed in holding the scabbard.

This was a blond young man with emerald green eyes. He was holding a scabbard and blocking Chiron's fist. But he looked extremely weak, with empty eyes and some cracks on his body, with strange light patterns flowing through them.

"According to the facial analysis, there is an 85% chance that he is related to Morgan. His structure is actually a cyborg."

"No need to analyze, this is King Uther, the father of Morgan and Arthur, but he was bred using genes."

"It's amazing." Chiron's expression was indifferent. If it were Blaze, he might have been amazed, but he had seen all kinds of people, and he was just King Uther.

What really surprised him was that this body was so badly preserved that it actually needed to be remodeled to keep it from collapsing. But considering the situation in the wreckage of the Ark and the requirements of the maker... it was not bad to be able to turn out like this.

"The Ark Engine alone is not enough to complete my plan, and it gave me inspiration. Faith is a new kind of energy, and this may be the only value of human beings in this degenerate era." Merlin's huge metal body disintegrated, and countless light bodies emerged and floated around.

That "he" is undoubtedly the Pope, and it was Teresa who researched the energy of faith.

The ball of light that Merlin decomposed into slowly entered King Uther's body, and then a red light lit up in King Uther's eyes.

"I have conducted tests on the Eternal King. The people in this area have an unusual admiration for the Leader, and they are the perfect target for harvesting faith energy. For this reason, I specially kept King Uther's genes for cultivation and transformed them into a receiving station for faith energy."

King Uther twisted his neck, and Merlin's violent voice came out from his elegant appearance.

"I didn't want to be exposed so soon, but I didn't expect you to develop your body's functions so well. If I don't get serious, I'm afraid I'll lose."

"The scabbard?"

Chiron's gaze fell on the scabbard in Merlin's hand. For him, a robot from the Age of Gods that had existed for a long time, the story of the Eternal King was just like the story of the neighbor's child. There was nothing surprising about it, and the records were rather vague. But he couldn't help but remember that Blaze had told him about it.

That's most likely the scabbard of the Broken Steel Sword.

To be honest, if he hadn't had to guard the laboratory and wait for his successor, he could have ensured that he would be the protagonist of every legendary story that Blaze longed for.

As Chiron possessed the soul for a longer time, his emotions became richer and richer.

"It seems the mystery of the story has been solved. It was you who took the scabbard, leaving the Eternal King without protection."

The mystery of the lost scabbard of the Eternal King is a story that many people talk about with relish, and most of them believe that it was caused by Morgan's conspiracy, but this statement has been denied by the parties involved.

Morgan said that even without the scabbard, she couldn't defeat the Eternal King. If she believed in the metaphysical saying that the Eternal King would be doomed without the scabbard, it would be more effective to make a voodoo doll or draw a circle to curse.

The scabbard in Merlin's hands was unexpected but reasonable.

"I once had some expectations of the Eternal King, and asked him whether the sword or the scabbard was more important." Merlin clenched the scabbard in his hand, his expression gloomy and angry, like a dark cloud containing thunder.

"He chose the sword, but was unwilling to point it at the world's greatest enemy. So I took away the scabbard. He is no longer qualified to possess this power."

"Do you want him to choose the scabbard..." Chiron nodded as if to confirm, and then took a stance, "So, do you think this cyborg body can win me over?"

"Can't win? This is my first metal assimilation experiment, which took me more than a thousand years to cultivate and transform." Merlin sneered. He put the scabbard on his waist, and then countless mechanical worms drilled into his hands to form a twisted mechanical sword.

The mechanical worm sword was put into the scabbard, he lowered his body, and pointed the hilt at Chiron.

"You'd better not underestimate this body."

【Uther Pendragon LV250】

【Faith Z/Split Z/Red Dragon Z/…/】

Merlin disappeared from the spot in an instant, and then the sound of a high-speed sonic boom was heard.

"Isn't it a bit of a waste of the power of this receiving station?" Chiron turned around suddenly and punched down, and Merlin appeared there just as if it was agreed.

But Chiron's hammer was once again blocked by the scabbard. Legend has it that the scabbard has the ability to protect the holder from harm, and this is not a rumor.

And its capabilities are not limited to just that.

"Idiot, this is the only way this receiving station will be safe and will not be persecuted. This is common sense."

Merlin slowly pulled out the mechanical worm sword, and the dark and twisted sword blade was stained with a beautiful bright silver color as if it had been polished.

"See the true power of Avalon."

The mechanical worm sword was completely pulled out, and an invisible arc of light spread out silently.

It was not a powerful sword pressure, it seemed just a breeze.

A leaf fell and suddenly broke into two.

“This is truly amazing power.”

Chiron tilted his body, and as the mechanical worm sword in Merlin's hand collapsed, his shoulder armor and the environment behind him tilted and slid down, as if the whole world was cut in half.

Chapter 1255 Aries Secret

【Avalon/World Class】

[The scabbard is paired with the Broken Steel Holy Sword. The two are combined into one to symbolize eternity.]

"Completely absorbs damage and converts it into the power of the sword in the [Polishing] scabbard. However, if the sword cannot withstand it, it can only launch one attack, and this attack will be deflected."

Chiron finished analyzing the scabbard. If this attack was made with the Broken Steel Sword, he would probably be cut in half.

"Tsk! Even if we use the strongest material, it won't work?" Merlin threw the hilt aside, and the mechanical worms gathered into a sword again.

But this time, Merlin did not intend to fight Chiron fairly. The time and materials consumed had affected his plan, but he would never let Chiron go. As long as he got Chiron's body, all these losses would be worth it.

The mechanical worms gathered into several giant snakes, submerged Merlin, and attacked Chiron in an overwhelming manner.

"【Leo Derivation: Lion Slash】"

Chiron landed on the ground with both feet, exerted force from his waist, and swung his arms like a whip. Several sharp air blades cut the giant snake in front of him into pieces.

Merlin was completely hidden in the giant snakes, or in other words, every giant snake here was controlled by Merlin, they were all Merlin, so it was meaningless to look for Merlin's location.

Chiron determined Merlin's goal. He wanted to induce him to continue using the powerful [Double Horns] so that he could hide in the dark and take the opportunity to use the scabbard to resist the attack and absorb the power.

Then just destroy all targets within range.

Chiron raised his head, lightning flashed in his eyes, and he raised his fist and pointed it at the ground.

"[Taurus Derivative - Flower Sea Thunder]"

A heavy punch landed on the ground, and dazzling thunder spread out from Chiron to the surrounding area, layer upon layer, like surging waves or blooming flowers.

Mechanical snakes were destroyed one after another, and the center of Chiron turned into a death zone, with only one person approaching rapidly.

Even the dense thunder that could be described as sticky could not stop the man from approaching.

The scabbard emitting azure light is the ocean. No matter how raging the thunder is, it cannot enter the deepest part of the sea.

Merlin stopped and slowly pulled out the sword from the scabbard. This time the sword was no longer bright silver, but a deep blue with thunder attributes.

"Will the properties change?"

Merlin thrust his sword, and a thin branch pierced through Chiron.

The branches slowly stretch out, just like a sapling growing in the sun in nature. Its shape is elegant and mysterious, and every inch is full of power and beauty.

At the top of the branch, a flower made of thunder bloomed. The petals were woven from countless tiny arcs of electricity, flashing blue and white light, and each petal was trembling gently, releasing a subtle crackling sound.

A warning sound and a red alarm sounded at the same time, Chiron's body stiffened and he could not move. The thunder flower pierced his body and began to destroy his structure.

At this point it’s almost time to give up, but!

“【Life should be sung loudly and run with all one’s strength】”

"[Life is like fire, how can it be vain]"

"What are you talking about? What do you want to do!" Merlin's expression changed, and all the mechanical beasts and mechanical worms around him were mobilized at the same time, combining into a small giant and raised his arms towards Chiron.

"[Aries Derivation: Secret]"

Chiron's arms and entire body were burning with flames, and the thunder flower was twisted.

"[Burning Horn Embers]"

It was a scene that no living being could forget. It was like an Aries flying across the sky like a meteor, sprinting and sprinting, and it did not stop even when its hair and horns began to burn.

Therefore, [Aries Derivative] can only sprint with great courage, even the ultimate move is a sprint.

"Damn it." Merlin retreated immediately. He couldn't let this most important faith energy receiving tower in the plan be destroyed. He had to protect it at all costs.

The mechanical giant slowly opened its hands towards Chiron and pressed down like an overwhelming force. The next moment, Chiron smashed the giant's palm like a meteor rushing into the sky, breaking through all the way and approaching Merlin.

The sparks rising from the successive explosions were dragged by Chiron, as if they were going to dye the sky red.

Merlin looked at Chiron approaching, and suddenly stopped, suppressing the urge to run away. How could he run away? He was doing this for...

Merlin shook his head violently, driving away the thought of running away, and turned to face the oncoming Chiron, raising his scabbard.

"Come on! Do you think this can break through Avalon's defenses?!"

Chiron was like a meteor, and Merlin rushed towards the meteor. At the moment the two collided, even [Avalon] failed to completely absorb all the power of [Horn Ember]. The mechanical giants under their feet were completely shattered and exploded by the leaked power.

The rising sea of ​​fire almost covered the entire sky.

After an unknown amount of time, the sea of ​​fire slowly dissipated, leaving behind a world covered in gray dust.
