Star Forge Titan

They have to use their flesh and blood to prevent invaders from approaching the delivery room where the insect mother is.

hum!

The chainsaw roared, and the boy's black hair, which was not completely covered by the helmet, scattered and swung in the air, like a rotating black vortex.

As he spun several times in the air, the battle axe in his hand also drew circles of trajectories, outlining one noisy spiral after another, and the sharp whistling sound was followed by fatal death!

Each circle symbolizes the death of at least one Shell Knight. Although they are elite units of the Zerg and occasionally serve as commanders, their design as a hybrid form that combines human and insect elements is actually also based on equipment considerations.

Therefore, at the moment when he lost his mind and was unable to use magic equipment, the Shell Knight, as a high-level insect beast, was only slightly more troublesome to Alvin than an ordinary insect beast.

Although the insect shells strengthened by magic can easily withstand the slashing of knife tips and even small-caliber bullets, they are easily cut like candles under a hot dagger when faced with a soul-made weapon wielded with a strength attribute of over 30 points, enough to push down a dragon, and with a blade that is a sharp chain saw that rotates continuously.

Beneath it, even the strong muscles could not stop this ferocious weapon, and the mechanical skeleton below it also could not hold on for long. In just a blink of an eye, the Shell Knight's body was completely cut off by the Axe of Annihilation.

A huge incision went from the shoulder to the waist, directly penetrating the heart.

Although the more important head part remained intact, the injury was so serious that even if Shell Knight had the ability to self-repair, he would not be able to continue fighting.

The knight rotated, the chainsaw rotated, the battle axe rotated, and under the death spiral constructed by the triple rotation, the twelve Shell Knights were quickly defeated.

Alvin continued to rush forward, passing through several empty and spacious rooms.

Presumably, other Ghost in the Shell characters were supposed to be stationed here, but they were now sent out to search for invaders, so Alvin easily passed through these important nodes that were originally heavily defended.

The last section of the passage seemed particularly long. Even after consuming magic power to activate the torrent thrusters, it took quite a while to fly before a tiny bright spot appeared in front.

As the speed increased, the circular bright spot began to rapidly enlarge until it occupied Alvin's entire field of vision.

Accompanied by continuous explosions when the elemental power was stimulated, Alvin rushed straight into a huge nest chamber that was wide enough to make people forget the fact that they were underground.

A fragrance so strong that it was almost pungent filled the entire space. In addition, what caught the eye were giant mechanical devices that were as big as high-rise buildings.

These mechanical devices are distributed all around, like a gray and cold steel forest.

They are deeply rooted in the surface of the purple-red biomass slime mold, revealing a chaotic combination of metal and organic matter, giving people a sense of distortion and abnormality.

At the outermost edge of this cold steel forest, you can see twelve huge pillars forming a circle.

These pillars are taller than any machine and still stand tall even after thousands of years.

In the center of the nest chamber, there is a conical platform. This altar-like building is the largest structure in the area.

The conical frustum, which covers an astonishing area, has no unnecessary decorations on its surface, only a staircase leading to the top.

The stairs themselves are not narrow, they can even be considered wide.

But its width seems extremely small compared to the entire altar.

So much so that just walking on it will make people subconsciously feel their own insignificance.

Alvin glanced around but didn't see any trace of the cat bug.

Just as he was about to call out White V's name.

A deep laugh came from the top of the huge, mountain-like platform.

Then came the rhythmic, raspy voice that sounded like chanting poetry.

"Hail...Uranus..."

Chapter 85: Distorted Thinking

Praise Uranus, the giant god who supports the heaven and earth and gives the breeze.

Praise be to Uranus, the giant god who shaped the mountains and gave us the land.

Praise be to Uranus, the giant god who created the rivers and gave us the flowing water.

Praise be to Uranus, the giant god who holds the thunder and gives the warm fire.

Praise be to Uranus, the giant who laid out the forest and gave the seeds.

Praise Uranus, the king of the Titans who holds the sun in his palm, and the light shines through his fingers all over the world.

"Descendants of the Titan, please show mercy, the king's mercy, the final mercy..."

Accompanied by an ancient and distant voice like reciting a poem, the thick lavender mist before my eyes rolled and separated to the left and right like a tide, blown by an invisible wind.

The stairs leading to the top of the conical platform became particularly clear, and at the same time, Alvin saw the small figure sitting on the huge throne.

It looks somewhat similar to Ghost in the Shell or Knight in the Shell, and also has a human-like outline, but its limbs and torso are full of insect elements such as shells and spines, giving it the appearance of a humanoid hybrid insect-beast.

But compared to Ghost in the Shell, its appearance appears thinner and even shriveled.

It's like a fruit that has been left for a long time. Under the empty skin, there is only a withered and shriveled core.

Without asking unnecessary questions like "Who are you?", Ivan immediately guessed the identity of the person before him based on the information in Hercules's words.

The insect queen is the ruler of the insect swarm and is also similar to the queen ant in an anthill.

The insect queen stood up tremblingly from the huge throne that was completely inconsistent with her short stature, and bowed to Ivan from a distance with an extremely pious attitude.

"Lord, please, please have mercy."

At this moment, the Worm Mother's voice, although hoarse, was particularly intimate. It did not have the crazy feeling expected, and even had a bit of hope like a child longing for a Christmas present.

Ivan's expression was solemn. The other party's performance did not make him relax. Instead, he became more serious and earnest.

In contrast to the humble tone of her prayer, all the ambient magic in the air fluctuated with the insect mother's excited emotions. The resonance between the two was so strong that it was suffocating.

Because of this, although the other party's body looks so small and hunched, its presence fills the entire huge nest room, as if there is an invisible huge figure looking down at all those who come to see it.

Although the figure was invisible, in Ivan's perception it was full of madness and distortion, as if a deformed giant beast was staring at him with bloodthirsty and hungry eyes.

Even so, the black-haired boy did not show any fear. Instead, he took a step forward and walked up the long stairs.

"What kind of mercy do you want?"

As soon as the words fell, the insect queen crawling on the ground suddenly looked up with a look of surprise, and her insect-like face became hideous and distorted.

"Your blood, your bones, your soul!"

"All! All mercy!"

The roaring insect queen opened her mouth to a terrifying degree. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen inside. It seemed as if the inside was directly connected to the abyss, emitting endless greed and desire.

Thousands of years have passed, and the loyalty of the Zerg remains, but even this loyalty that they have worked hard to maintain has been distorted.

Has the pollution reached the level of thinking?

The diametrically opposed behavior between the Worm Queen's words and actions made Alvin realize this very bad possibility.

Combined with the information he had obtained from other sources, he now had a rough idea of ​​what had happened a thousand years ago.

The factory-type mobile fortress Herbert was originally supposed to be responsible for building the underworld city of Abyss. However, it was also a mobile fortress and had to participate in combat when necessary.

As for the insect beasts, or land beasts, on the fortress, they were likely a battle clan artificially created by the Titans using advanced magical techniques. However, during a subsequent battle with a powerful enemy, the ship's land beasts were infected from the source.

Perhaps the giants did not have the spare energy or enough time at the time, so they simply sealed the internal functions of the entire mobile fortress temporarily, retaining only the most basic excavation capabilities, allowing it to continue the excavation work on its own.

Logically, the Giant Kingdom should have dealt with the pollution after the situation calmed down, but it was obvious that the challenges faced by the giants at that time were more serious than expected, so much so that they were forced to issue the "Destruction Order" and use weapons of mass destruction or spells to completely destroy the entire area.

Therefore, no one has come to rescue these sealed clans for thousands of years, and the pollution in them has been passed down from generation to generation.

Even by replacing the queen insects and directly self-purifying at the population level, the remaining poison cannot be completely eliminated.

Even a hundred years ago, due to some unforeseen incident that Ivan hadn't yet determined, this self-purification process was interrupted, causing the previous generation of Zerg Queen to continue to distort under the erosion of the remaining poison, and also affecting other units at all levels of the Zerg.

After being passed down level by level, the lowest-level servants were relatively less affected.

So, as long as I can find a way to purify the remaining poison in the insect mother, is it possible to restore this clan to normal?

As he pondered, a figure swooped over. It wasn't the Worm Queen itself, but a massive, roaring machine nearby. It looked like a mechanical arm fixed to a train track, with a large alloy clamp at the end.

It's hard to imagine how big a 'big baby' would have to be born in this delivery room to require this thing?

After all, the insect mother's thin figure at the moment doesn't look like she can give birth to that kind of "big child".

Jumping back to avoid the falling mechanical arm, Alvin noticed countless glowing threads extending from behind the insect mother.

The threads resembled soft, transparent crystals, similar to the fiber optic cables Ivan had seen in his previous life. These transparent, luminous threads rapidly spread outward, entwining instruments that had previously stood for a long time, only to be entangled by the threads and quickly begin to hum and hum.

The mechanical arm slammed down, then immediately lifted up, and the alloy clamps kept opening and closing, making crisp sounds.

The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched slightly. Although he was quite confident in the defense that was a combination of his own arcane transformation and job abilities, he had no intention of challenging this large mechanical device that could almost be classified as a treasure excavation device.

Are you kidding? This is not a product of modern magic engineering that he is familiar with. God knows how powerful the magic machines made by the Giant Kingdom can be. Anyway, the ancient magic furnace dug out from the ruins, even if it is partially damaged, has an output power enough to support a medium-sized wizard tower.

Machines powered by that kind of thing could probably compete with high-level transcendents.

Fortunately, although the machines waving in front of us are huge, they are not weapons specifically used for combat, so their speed is not exaggerated.

He paused, and Ivan's figure suddenly blurred for a moment.

Then, the black-haired boy immediately appeared behind the huge mechanical arm that had fallen. In his right hand, raised high, he was still holding the screaming and rotating Annihilation Axe.

Compared with the huge size of the mechanical arm, both Ivan, who is two meters and five meters tall, and the long-handled battle axe, the Annihilation Axe, look so small, just like a child standing next to a towering ancient tree with a toy axe in his hand.

But the next moment, the whistling battle axe fell like a roaring cannon, swung with unparalleled power, and directly cut the mechanical arm in half!

The broken parts splattered outwards like blood spurting out of a wound. The destroyed mechanical arm fell down like a thousand-year-old tree that had been cut down. The jagged fracture did not look like it was cut by a sharp blade, but rather like it was broken by brute force!

But the battle was not over. More mechanical devices around were activated under the control of the Insect Queen, and mechanical arms equipped with various large alloy tools attacked Ivan one after another.

This originally quiet steel forest has now completely transformed into a roaring automated heavy machinery factory, and Alvin is like an innocent worker caught in it.

Front, back, left, and right, almost every direction was obscured by the shadow cast by the giant robotic arm.

Time seemed to slow down for a moment at this moment. Alvin's eyes, emitting golden radiation, swept from left to right. A large amount of information flooded into his mind and was then quickly processed into categories.

White magical flames brighter than the sun suddenly rose from the gaps in the pure white light-forged armor, and bright red fire element crystals were densely arranged in the open hurricane thrusters behind it.

A path of nothingness that does not exist in anyone else's sight leads a way forward under the siege of seemingly impenetrable machines.

The Axe of Annihilation was transferred to his left hand, and his right hand drew out a long sword from the black vortex opened in the lepton space to burn justice.

The white flame of life quickly wrapped around the red sword and intertwined with the equally bright red heavenly flame.

Purification begins!

Chapter 86: Earth-shattering

Burning with white magical flames, the black-haired boy wearing light-forged armor charged forward with all his might.

His movement trajectory was as unpredictable as an antelope's horns. He kept passing through seemingly impossible places. Those waving huge mechanical arms could not keep up with such an astonishing speed, nor could they predict in advance that the other party would choose such an unexpected route.

Like a burning arrow, Alvin approached the top of the conical platform in the distance with all his strength.

He knew very well that time was not on his side at this moment.

Facing the torrential attack, Alvin's understanding of this point became even stronger.

On the one hand, the Zerg army may turn back at any time, and on the other hand, the Zerg Queen has a huge reserve of magic power.

She controlled an astonishing number of large mechanical devices through those glowing threads, but what surprised Alvin even more was that the huge amount of magic power consumed in the process actually came from that inconspicuous shriveled body.

However, as the creator of the Zerg swarm, it doesn't seem surprising that the Zerg Queen possesses such an astonishing reserve of magic power.

But Alvin still felt something was wrong. Then, his eyes followed the glowing threads that controlled the large magical machinery, and gradually realized some possible hidden truths.

The glowing threads extending from the back of the insect queen were not all wrapped around the large machines. Nearly one-third of them were directed towards a wall behind her that was blocked by the insect hive organization.

Dodging a large mechanical arm that was smashing down hard, the rotating saw blade above it sent up sparks on the ground. Ivan's golden pupils appeared brighter and sharper in the light of the fire.

He vaguely sensed that behind the wall covered and blocked by the hive tissue, there seemed to be something with a huge presence hidden.

To be precise, it was just a mysterious feeling, not as clear as seeing it with the eyes.

But for Alvin, who possesses talents such as [Telepathy] and [Sixth Sense], this feeling is no different from seeing it directly with his eyes. He can be sure that something very powerful is hidden behind that wall.

Although he was still quite a distance away from the Insect Mother, not to mention the tall wall behind her.

But it will not become an obstacle to Ivan's next action. He has his own unique way of analyzing the mysteries hidden in the target across distance.

The figure in pure white armor moved faster and faster, and the various mechanical devices used in all directions were either dodged by him or directly broken by the legendary magic sword and soul-made weapons held in his left and right hands respectively!

Although these mechanical devices have an astonishing size and the materials used are ancient alloys with excellent properties from the Giant Kingdom period, the weapons in Alvin's hands are also extraordinary.

The Astral Crystal, the primary material used in the legendary magic sword Burning Justice, isn't particularly impressive in itself, but the ingenious ideas of the dwarf master craftsman who forged it give it extremely outstanding advantages.

After the ancient dragon warrior interfered with an entire astral crystal the size of a small mineral vein, it was compressed directly to the size of a long sword. The astonishing density created brought about extreme hardness, which was extremely outstanding even among the legendary weapons, not to mention that it seemed to contain fragments of an immortal holy sword.

As for the soul-forged weapon, the Annihilation Axe, the soul of Demon Vanguard Officer Karlbant was completely bound within it. While this fellow hadn't yet reached the pinnacle of the ranks of Demon Princes or Outland Great Demons, his strength far surpassed that of ordinary Outland Demons, making him a clear leader.
