Star Forge Titan

Then, he couldn't help but frown and reveal a sour expression.

Because, on the magic car that was no longer obscured by fog, there were swaying flowers made of flesh and blood. They did not have the holy and sacred appearance they had before, but instead revealed a familiar feeling of nausea and disgust.

"【Elrond curse】, you endless guy." Seeing this, Alvin couldn't help but curse out loud.

At this moment, the same words came out of the mouth of Pastor Eddie who was driving the Wheel of the Father.

"What happened before is fine, but now you dare to stop me from spreading the great and kind father's love to the ignorant people of Lutetia. You deserve to die!"

Pastor Eddie had a look of horror on his face when he realized that he could not get rid of his opponent.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with gritted teeth. The eyeballs on the eroded and twisted half of his face completely turned into dark green animal pupils, and a strong murderous intent emanated from the vertical slits in his pupils.

In fact, what really made this evil demon, who had used other names and now stole Pastor Eddie's identity, angry was not the brutal execution that Alvin had once carried out on it, but the fact that his current mission might be stopped by the other party.

Originally, it intended to slow down the other car while continuing to hide its identity. However, the driver of this magic car dared to speed up and overtake even in the thick fog, which instead exposed its true identity early.

In this case, we must find a way to deal with the opponent in the tunnel.

Otherwise, once the other party revealed his identity after leaving the tunnel, there was a high probability that he would be blocked on the straight track before reaching the Linde National Circuit, resulting in the inability to complete the important mission bestowed by the benevolent god.

It only took a few seconds to think it over, and tentacles immediately extended from Pastor Eddie's ten fingers gripping the steering wheel.

These tentacles of varying thickness penetrated into the magic car's dashboard, gear lever, and other operating facilities like roots, as if the driver's own sticky, wet, and hot flesh and blood had completely merged with the magic car's cold mechanical parts.

On guard, the Wheel of the Father, which was originally speeding through the tunnel, soon underwent a drastic change.

The tires were replaced by six limbs with twisted muscles. The sharp claws at the ends scratched the solid road surface. The roar of the magic engine was mixed with the roar of the bestiality. Metal and flesh merged with each other, and the innate bestiality of the creature was integrated into the rapidly rotating hot gears.

The Wheel of the Father, with a large amount of demonic flesh and blood filled in the vehicle body, completely revealed its true nature.

Now, it has transformed into a demon engine that looks like a cat. Its body connected by six limbs is equally strong and ferocious. Its head is covered with sharp teeth, and half of a distorted human face can be vaguely seen.

In its chest, which emitted a dark red glow, the magic engine integrated into it was beating like a heart, and the incinerator originally used to stimulate alchemical fuel was also burning fiercely.

Turbid blood mixed with alchemical fuel flowed into it, causing the magic engine of the fusion heart to continuously produce large amounts of filthy magic power.

A row of thorns grew from the curved spine of the demon engine. On both sides of the row of thorns, there were three on each side, a total of six metal exhaust pipes, which spewed out puffs of yellow-brown smoke from time to time.

"Strengthen! Transform! The! Evil! Demon! Attract! The! Demon!" Turning his head and gazing at the Wheel of the Father that had transformed into a six-legged beast demon, Alvin spoke word by word.

This thing is not easy to deal with, and the reality is too ironic.

The Holy Temple of Light, a city with a long history of worshipping the god Jupiter, actually sent a magic car to compete in the competition that was actually a demon engine in disguise!

"This is really..." The black-haired boy shook his head and looked at Diana.

Although the short-haired girl still had no expression on her face at this moment, her fingers gripping the steering wheel were white at the joints, revealing a nervousness that was difficult to conceal.

"Listen carefully, Diana, from now on we need to divide the work and cooperate with each other." Ivan slowed down his tone.

"All you have to do is..."

Before her partner could finish his words, an intuitive premonition had already enveloped Diana's heart.

Ivan suddenly grabbed a lever hidden behind the cockpit and pulled it down, while shouting to the short-haired girl:

“Run forward!”

The next moment, Hope transformed and unfolded!

Chapter 210: Tunnel Death Battle 3

The machine is chirping!

Steel is roaring!!

The soul is roaring!!!

The gears mesh with each other, the slots close and lock, and every gram of metal contributes to this grand steel symphony.

The smoke temporarily covered the Hope, which had undergone a huge change, under the influence of the airflow, and the enhanced Demon Engine, which had transformed into a six-legged mechanical monster, was also a little stunned for a moment.

On the other side, feeling the strange deformation around his body, the expression on Ivan's face began to become full of passion, even mixed with a hint of terrifying madness.

After a year and five months, he once again felt the familiar power that he had used countless times in the virtual stealth online game Palladia. It was the mighty power brought about by the Magic Industrial Revolution and the wisdom of civilization!

Even though this power still has many flaws and is very imperfect, it can never be compared with the power of creation flowing in his Titan blood.

But what is contained in it is so nostalgic and brings tears to my eyes.

There was a slight soreness in the corners of Alvin's eyes, and he gave a sincere admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Just ask yourself, what boy would hate the ultimate romance represented by humanoid combat weapons!

Perhaps only the False O Knight, who excels at hit-and-run attacks, can be compared to him.

Ah, this is what humans can do, and this is why I temporarily said goodbye to the soft and fluffy Fleur and ran to this shabby place with serious air pollution in Linde! Although it’s not the most important part...

At the same time, Pastor Eddie, who was about to deal a fatal blow to his troublesome opponent, felt a surge of shock in his heart.

Can someone tell me what exactly happened here? What did they do? And how should I proceed?

Before the cultists could sort out their confused thoughts, the smoke covering the Hope was broken from the inside by something small and flexible.

A black shadow was wrapped in wisps of mist, like a majestic horse galloping with all four hooves flying, galloping forward with an unstoppable aura.

Pastor Eddie's eye, twisted into a beast's pupil, keenly captured the true appearance of the black shadow.

But it turned out to be a strange magic car with only two wheels in front and back!

According to common knowledge about magic vehicles, they need at least three wheels to maintain stability. Even the military's current light magic vehicles have three wheels. However, this magic vehicle relies on only two wheels to maintain its stability, while also achieving an astonishing speed.

Not only was the twisted demon with inhuman thoughts unable to understand it, even Diana sitting in the cockpit was shocked.

It wasn't until a few seconds ago that she truly understood why Ivan had asked her to familiarize herself with the driving of that strange vehicle before the race. Just now, when the Hope had unfolded and transformed, the front half of the cockpit, along with the forward fairing and seat, had separated from the main body.

Before Diana could react, she heard Ivan shouting at her seriously and quickly:

"Run forward! This is a conspiracy! Have them evacuate everyone from the National Circuit immediately!"

Although the black-haired boy did not have time to explain the specific conspiracy, Diana, who had experienced the incident of the Demon Factory Owner, immediately understood the huge threat it contained to many creatures in the material world, thinking about the terrible changes that had just happened to the Wheel of the Father.

Without any hesitation, the steering wheel in her hand automatically transformed into a motorcycle handlebar, and the short-haired girl quickly realized what she should do.

Driven by intuition and her previous experience in driving an experimental two-wheeled motorcycle, Diana kicked her booted right foot several times quickly, causing the pedals to rotate forward half a circle, forming two parallel metal rods above and below, which were then moved several times in succession.

Immediately, the backup engine hidden in the belly of the cockpit was activated. Driven by the controlled magic explosion, the power cylinder began to rise and fall rapidly and orderly, driving the crank arms and gears connected to it, causing the tires that were turned outward to rotate in mid-air before they even hit the ground.

Then, when the transformed cockpit, or as Alvin named it on the design drawing, the core locomotive stably touched the ground.

The buffer device absorbed the impact, and the tires, driven by the engine, rotated rapidly, making a harsh friction sound with the ground. The core locomotive accelerated in a very short time, and then broke through the fog with a whistling sound and rushed towards the tunnel exit.

"No one can leave!" Pastor Eddie roared with the half of his face embedded in the head of the demon engine.

Although he still hadn't figured out what the other party was planning to do, he couldn't let someone who knew his true identity leave this place like that!

The demon engine, shaped like a six-legged beast, is like a carnivore launching its prey. Even when running at high speed, it still extends its well-developed forelimbs with seven curved claws forward swiftly and accurately.

At this moment, the shrieking sound of the air being torn apart almost drowned out the steady and rhythmic engine sound of the core locomotive.

However, Diana was not panicked at all. Her unusually sharp intuition and trust in her companions allowed her to concentrate on driving the motorcycle forward.

What happened next did not disappoint the girl's trust. Just as Pastor Eddie's fused enhanced demon engine was about to kill, a mechanical arm covered with metal armor suddenly emerged from the smoke. The mechanical arm, emitting metallic reflections, suddenly grabbed the demon engine's hind legs and dragged it backwards.

The claws roughly scratched several grooves on the ground, but the intact core locomotive disappeared into the dim tunnel without any impact.

"What!?!" The enhanced demon engine whose attack missed and Pastor Eddie who was fused with it looked back at the same time.

But in the gradually dispersing mist, Ivan, who had taken off the 'Diplomat Ring' to undo his body transformation, was staring at him with eyes as sharp as a sword, and the strangely shaped mechanical hand covered with metal armor was attached to the end of his left arm.

At this moment, the Hope no longer looked like a magic car. Its cockpit was exposed, the driver stood up from his seat with his arms outstretched, and even the fairing was completely opened as if without fear.

In terms of the body part, the tires retract and change their positions, the sturdy chassis folds and separates, and the internal mechanical frame is lifted and deformed as a whole. The still running engine roars and moves to the back position, combining with the hurricane thrusters that continue to spew flames to form a new style of mechanical backpack.

Looking closely, the mechanical structures and external armor that were originally used in various places now all "came alive" as if given life. They were combined and spliced ​​with each other according to the preset transformation mechanism, quickly becoming a mechanical existence that was completely different from the magic car.

At the same time, because of taking off the ring, Ivan's clothes were easily torn by his developed muscles and enlarged body.

But soon, another piece of iron armor made of gears, springs and metal armor gradually covered every inch of the black-haired boy's skin.

Even though the overall transformation was not yet complete, Ivan's free right hand had already been raised backwards. With a threatening arm-bending movement like loading a crossbow, the rapidly deforming parts and armor plates rotated around his arm and combined into another heavy and sturdy mechanical arm.

When the outer armor meshed with each other, the powerful mechanical fingers suddenly clenched, and dazzling sparks and magical light burst out from the gap.

Eddie, who had merged with the demon engine, shuddered suddenly. He had clearly transformed into a reinforced demon engine that possessed more power than the Corrupted Soul Spider. He clearly had the supreme gift from the Father of Mercy flowing in his soul. He clearly still had a great mission from the Father of Mercy to complete.

but……

An icy chill gripped his heart and even his soul uncontrollably.

Fear rushed into Eddie's mind without any warning, causing him to unleash all the magic power in his body at the critical moment.

The already hideous and terrifying beastly demon engine began to expand again, and its six limbs became as thick as elephant legs, but it did not have time to complete the transformation.

Ivan's iron fist, which was clenched tightly as the word suggests, fell heavily from above under the dual drive of the surging power of the second-generation shockwave V12 magic engine and the unparalleled divine power contained in the flesh and blood of the Titan's descendant!

Destruction, falling from the sky!!!

Chapter 211: Tunnel Death Battle 4

A fist is the shape formed by human beings' five fingers closing together and pinching me.

Millions of years ago, before the first flint-tipped spears appeared, this was the oldest weapon humans were born with.

At this moment, the rapidly transformed magic car Hope wrapped around the black-haired boy who was the driver, clinging to his streamlined muscles with perfect golden ratios and turning into a piece of steel armor.

When the shape was changed, a layer of armor was added to the outside of the folded rear half of the fairing, which not only concealed the boy's rebellious smile, but also completely changed the shape of the entire body in a very short time, turning it into a humanoid steel vehicle with a height of nearly five meters and covered with streamlined armor.

This is the Guardian form, or G form, the full name is Guardian form. It is a combat-specialized magic vehicle made by Ivan imitating the first generation of humanoid vehicles that will be mass-produced by Lind of the Central Empire in the future.

Because of this generation of vehicles' heroic deeds in repeatedly protecting civilians on the Skeleton Tide battlefield, it is also called the Iron Guardian!

As the vehicle form switched, the mechanical arm made of solid mithril alloy steel quickly bent inward, and the delicate mechanical structure of the finger joints completed full-path locking within 0.1 seconds, suddenly constructing an armor-clad, all-metal heavy iron fist that was almost a solid iron hammer!

The angular outer armor tore through the air, making a sharp whistling sound like a dive bomber landing, and even louder than that was the mechanical roar of the aircraft's second-generation V-type shockwave magic engine in the closed tunnel!

In addition, the twin-engine X2's hurricane thrusters also spewed out flames, further increasing the speed of the Hope.

Steel fist, fall!!!

Faced with the sudden change, the beast-shaped enhanced demon engine had no time to react. The beast head with sharp fangs in its mouth, which was embedded in half of Pastor Eddie's face, was like an egg under a hammer.

With just one punch, blood, flesh, and brain matter splattered everywhere, leaving a large fan-shaped trail behind.

The demonic flesh stained on the alloy armor made a hissing corrosion sound, but in the end it only corroded the paint on the surface of the armor, revealing the true metal color of the silver-white mithril alloy steel underneath.

"Heh, that's the usual trick of those Nurse guys." Inside the cockpit, Ivan sneered as he inserted his arms into the mechanical structure and operated the machine with his movements.

He had been prepared for this. The expensive mithril alloy steel was not meant to show off wealth!

Furthermore, due to the current technological limitations, and the fact that the class Ivan chose to advance to wasn't specifically for driving magical vehicles, he chose the less technologically demanding master-slave operating system over the more efficient direct neural connection.

This system relies on sensors to capture the driver's subtle movements, which are then amplified and reflected on the body to complete various operations.

But its shortcomings are also significant. In most cases, it is only suitable for controlling humanoid bodies, and it is almost impossible to adapt to other shapes of magical vehicles. In addition, the driver also needs to receive sufficient training time to master the specific control methods.

Furthermore, if a pilot attempts to further improve his skills and achieve the level of control over the aircraft, such as controlling his own body, not to mention the long training time required, even after reaching this level, he still needs to ensure at least 300 hours of actual flight training per year to ensure that his operating skills do not decline.

But the advantage of this technology is that the technical threshold is relatively low, and even Alvin can restore it using only materials and components that are currently available on the market.

As for the extremely high requirements for the ace pilot's personal experience in the master-slave operating system...

Ha, for an old player who has experienced many major versions such as Rise of Nations, Skeleton Frenzy, Rebellion of a Thousand Towers, Black Forest Evil Birth, and Machine World Sublimation, it is as easy as eating and drinking water.

The details that need to be paid attention to in each movement have been engraved into the bone marrow, forming muscle memory that is almost instinctive conditioned reflex.

Hand: I remember!

Brain: Then I choose to give up thinking!

With slight movements of Ivan's limbs, the Hope, which had transformed into a humanoid steel vehicle, relied on the flames sprayed by the Hurricane Thruster to hover in the air fifty centimeters above the ground with its left leg slightly bent and its right leg touching the ground in a graceful posture.

As the largest and longest tunnel structure in Linde, the Eupalinos Tunnel has an internal height of 8.5 meters. In the future, there are plans to lay all-steel tracks in the tunnel, so its height is more than enough to accommodate the largest magic train currently available.

At the same time, the spacious space can also accommodate a magic vehicle switched to the guardian form and a reinforced demon engine fused with machinery to fight each other!

Gravity caused the demon's filthy blood to drip from the end of the Iron Guardian's metal-cast mechanical fingers, and it fell to the ground with a hissing sound like the howling and screaming of a wild beast.

The beast-shaped demon engine that lost its head did not fall down. Although the jagged wound on its neck continued to ooze out almost pitch-black crimson pus and blood like a broken faucet, its six muscular limbs were still firmly clasped to the ground, supporting its huge body covered with twisted muscles to stand up.

"It hurts so much~ah~" A mouth opened on the side of the neck, and from it came another voice that did not belong to Pastor Eddie but was familiar to Ivan.

The demon engine arched its back like an angry beast. On both sides of the bony spines derived from the spine, six metal exhaust pipes whistled in unison, and dark green mist gushed out from them, forming six gradually spreading smoke rings.
