Star Forge Titan

Instead of stopping it, Alvin stood by with his arms folded, watching with interest.

The Heavy Mecha God was indeed a product of the Ancient Empire's highest technology. Even just observing its brief integration allowed Ivan to further understand the various essentials of magical engineering. However, the real reason he stopped wasn't curiosity about the Ancient Empire's technology, but...

"What... am I?... The sun's... light... I... long for..." Intermittent voices came from the drastically changing body of the heavy machine god, with the tone changing from doubt and hesitation to affirmation and certainty. Rumbling sounds of heavy objects piercing the air came from all directions.

Metal components of astonishing size and shape spewed blazing flames, their drivers whirled their wheels, and as if suddenly alive, they spontaneously surged toward the decaying, shattered corpse of the sun god Utunia. As the metal components docked and combined, merging into the vast yet empty support frame of the sun god Utunia, even Ivan's shattered arm was restored.

Finally, the broken and charred outer armor of the Heavy Mecha God fell like snowflakes, and after peeling off, a silver-white color reflecting the sunlight was revealed.

The dilapidated Doomsday Winner was transformed into a new form in this way, even taller and more majestic than a hundred years ago.

"I am the sun of the empire, the light of magic! I am the iron sun god - Utunia!!!"

Chapter 228 Sunset in a Flash

The new heavy mecha god has a body structure similar to that of a human, and is covered in luxurious and heavy silver-white armor. The joints are even more shining and dazzling golden, and it is obvious that various rare materials are used.

Even more astonishing was the powerful magical pressure emanating from deep within the machine. Its reach was so vast that it affected an entire area exceeding tens of kilometers in diameter. All the rugged terrain, no matter how rugged it was, was flattened by the invisible force. If it weren't for the remaining raised edges that formed a basin-like structure, one would have mistaken it for a man-made plaza.

However, there is a bulge in the vast plain, and the iron-gray Pluto stands proudly with his arms folded across his chest.

The only area in the entire area that was unaffected was the area under Alvin's feet. Now that the rest of the area was sunken, it stood out like a steep stone pillar on a mountain.

"Wow, what a grand scene." In the center of the Tiehu Industrial Zone in the distance, Afrediya, who had just shut down the super-large urban magic furnace, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At that moment, Her Majesty the Demon King was clinging to the top of the super-large refining center in a rather inelegant manner, her neck stretched out, her gaze raised at the two titans in confrontation. Oh, and by the way, she had already manifested her true form as an ancient dragon, so her relatively unrefined movements were understandable.

As for the side of the sleek golden ancient dragon, a magical mobile weapon was pulling out a thermal spear from the wreckage of a large cyborg. The metal weapon, heated to emit a dark red light, hissed and burned all the flesh and iron chips that splashed on it into ashes.

The two girls had just finished their division of labor and successfully shut down the city's core magic furnace, which was in continuous operation. This thing could support the public magic expenditure of most of the city. Even in the heyday of the ancient empire, only a few cities with the highest level of magic industry were qualified to install it.

Perhaps because the main force was concentrated on the Heavy Mecha God, the defense force around such important equipment was not strong, so Afrediya, who rarely showed her true form of ancient dragon, had almost no effort and eliminated all the militants around her together with Diana.

"..." After confirming that all the enemies were killed, the silver-haired girl opened the cockpit and leaned out to look into the distance.

After transforming into the giant god form, even if Alvin just stood there, the magical pressure of the sun god Utunia, which was originally strong enough to change the terrain, became almost nothing in the direction behind him.

"Oh oh, the fighting has started!" A thunderous cheer came from above her head, and Diana looked away expressionlessly.

Afrediya clings to the rooftop spire with excitement, clapping like a heartless football fan. The massive smelting center is exceptionally sturdy, yet the structure still trembles under the tread of a female dragon. The spire bears several parallel scratches from the dragon's claws. Her actions make it hard not to wonder if she's an ancient dragon or a feisty Siberian sled dog.

But just as His Majesty the Demon King said, Alvin and the Sun God Utunia, who were in a standoff just now, started a high-speed battle that was difficult to capture with the naked eye almost without any warning.

Despite their immense size and heft, both behemoths displayed immense speed in their movements. White streaks ripped through the vast plains, the very atmosphere transformed into shockwaves after the machines broke through the sonic barrier. The rumbling thunder echoed through the heavens, the result of the fierce collision of two giants, each forged of steel.

Ivan smiled unconsciously. He did not use any super weapons, nor did he use his own powerful abilities to directly destroy the Heavy Mecha God.

Just clench your five fingers into a fist, and then hit the enemy's iron body with force!

boom!

Boom!

Ding!

Sparks flew with a brilliance more brilliant than fireworks, and iron fists collided with each other, the accuracy of both sides' actions and reaction speed were pushed to a level beyond imagination.

Its huge figure seemed to disappear into thin air, and then a dozen huge figures appeared in the same place, fighting each other with different movements. In fact, they were multiple afterimages produced at the same time due to the extremely rapid speed of movement.

Ivan personally experienced the power of the Ancient Empire's pinnacle magical creations, and he couldn't help but become more convinced of the outstanding achievements of this civilization. Although merely an imitation of the Titan, the Heavy Mecha God undoubtedly possessed the strength of a fifth-level perfector.

Of course, this was only the strength of a Perfect One before they unleashed their Soul Realm. But Ivan vaguely sensed that within the increasingly fiery metal body of the Heavy Machine God Utunia, a force similar to soul power was surging. If the Heavy Machine God also possessed soul power or something similar, then they undoubtedly possessed strength comparable to that of a true Perfect One.

In this way, the so-called "Sun-Breaking War" to determine the strongest Heavy Mecha God is most likely the ancient empire's hope to stimulate the ultimate power beyond the limits of magical engineering theory through extreme confrontation between different Heavy Mecha Gods.

"Glory to the Empire!" The sun god Utunia let out a very clear war cry.

In an instant, the surrounding environment became dim, but this was not because the sunlight weakened or dark clouds covered the sky, but because all the sunlight in the vast area was guided and concentrated on the top of this heavy machine god.

A beam of sunlight that gathered astronomical energy penetrated the planet's atmosphere from the sun, stirring the wind and clouds and focusing on the top of the sun god Utunia. The silver-white heavy machine god was radiating strong light all over his body, like silver metal heated to a boiling state, or magnesium bars and aluminum sheets entering a burning state. The ultra-high heat energy that was so hot that it could evaporate the metal began to concentrate on his chest.

When the sun god Utunia clasped his palms together and made a triangle gesture in front of his chest, the move called "Glory of the Empire" was charged in a very short time, and then immediately turned into a blazing lightsaber and rushed towards the nearby Pluto.

In response, Ivan simply bent his arms in front of him, a faint trace of distortion appearing in his palms, like the refracting of light by hot air. Then, the blazing lightsaber, arriving in an instant, was completely "devoured" by some invisible entity before it even touched the giant's body.

Dimensional distortion, relying on the ultimate enhancement of the combat agent Pluto's ability to control space, Alvin directly transferred the opponent's attack to another dimension.

No matter how powerful an attack is, it's meaningless if it misses. However, since the opponent could use this move in his Titan form, he must be a powerful being worthy of respect.

"Artificial giant god, you tried your best." After slowly uttering this praise, Alvin raised his left arm slowly but quickly. This was the first time he used both arms at the same time in this battle.

In the same posture as the sun god Utunia, who put his palms together, Ivan, who was riding the body of Pluto, also placed his hands on his chest. However, the two clenched steel fists did not actually collide with each other, but a more terrifying power was born in the void.

Dimensional Wave Fist, the ultimate boxing technique that combines all of Titan's past combat skills and extraordinary abilities, was fully activated.

With barely a moment's delay, the Difference Machine, specialized in combat analysis, transmitted a high-level alert to the Sun God Utunia. This newly born Mecha God, fused with all the fragments of the Heavy Mecha God, immediately deployed all its defenses. Shields piled one upon another to an absurd thickness, obscuring its form. Its armor was fully charged to fortify its defenses.

But at the moment when Ivan's fists collided, the dimensional wave fist had already transcended space and transmitted the destructive force directly into the body of the Heavy Machine God.

The thick defensive barrier seemed non-existent, and the fully powered composite armor seemed meaningless. The slight but exceptionally clear shattering sound was like a silent thunder, silencing the entire world.

"Man-made giant god, you did your best." Repeating the same words, Alvin raised his hand and held it above the head of the heavy mecha god.

The next moment, the ancient empire created the ultimate magical weapon at the cost of the destruction of its own civilization.

Explode! Spread! Scatter!

Chapter 229 Entering the Starry Sky Again

The Heavy Machine God was once the most brilliant technological achievement of the ancient empire.

After absorbing the wreckage of the remaining twelve machines, the originally broken Sun God Utunia showed the potential for further upgrades.

But in the end, it was just an imitation of the giant's shadow by later generations, and a dangerous attempt by the ancient empire to pursue the legendary power of the "passerby".

When the true Titans appeared, even the half-victor of the Sunshattering War, the Sun God Utunia, who threw his all into the battle, could only drink the bitter cup of defeat. But there was no doubt that the ancient empire pursued higher goals, rather than resting on its laurels.

Therefore, after nearly a hundred years, Alvin sent his tribute and condolences from the Titans to that once glorious civilization!

The lower part of the Dimensional Wave Fist - Style 4: Vortex!

This is the Titan's tribute!

Countless "forces" were sent into the interior of the Heavy Mecha God in the form of space transfer. All defensive measures were unable to interfere in the slightest. Even the space anchoring device manufactured with magical engineering technology was cleverly bypassed by the Dimensional Wave Fist. The extremely delicate and accurate force penetrated the entire weapon, dismantling all the machines in an orderly manner with an irresistible tyranny.

The huge heavy mecha god, like a moving mountain, fell apart, and a large number of parts floated and rotated around Ivan like an asteroid belt rotating around a star.

The ancient empire undoubtedly invested countless resources in this god-making project, including precious materials that were elusive for millennia. The astonishingly large Heavy Star Crystal from earlier gave a glimpse into the grandeur of the entire project. But now, what appeared before Ivan were hundreds, perhaps thousands, of rare treasures no less precious than the massive Heavy Star Crystals. These had even been summoned by the Sun God Ulturas from across the Broken Sun Wasteland.

Ah, this." Even from a Titan's perspective, the pile of parts before him was a treasure trove.

Anyway, Ivan's eyes were fixed on this. Using these materials as raw materials, along with the assistance of a planetary geothermal fully automatic portable smelting machine (or the World Forging Furnace), he was confident he could push the Pluto surrogate to over 70% completion! By then, he wouldn't be some wild, natural Titan without a complete surrogate!

Thanks to the gifts from previous civilizations, we even save ourselves the trouble of digging and refining.

Of course, he couldn't just take the items for free. Looking at the devastated wasteland of the Broken Sun, Ivan felt he should do something. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable taking the items. Although no one asked him to do this, he had his own determination and didn't mind being called self-satisfied.

Besides, transforming planets is something that Titans should and are willing to do.

But before that, there were other things he needed to confirm. Ivan hadn't forgotten the concentrated beam of sunlight that had just beamed down from outer space. In a split second, astronomical units of energy had poured into the sun god Utunia, unleashing a powerful attack of pure energy. If that fiery bombardment hadn't been transported to another dimension, even Ivan, in his Titan form, wouldn't have been able to withstand it unscathed.

Combined with previously gathered intelligence, this indirectly suggests that the Titan treasure once obtained by the ancient empire is located in outer space, within the massive space structure he had once approached. It's likely to be the fourth and final flawless gemstone—the Wind of Fantasy!

At the same time, it is also the key to constructing an interplanetary transmission channel, which can open up the binary star road and allow the three of them to return to Palladio.

Speaking of which, after so many days, the visiting Demon King and the high-ranking Paladin of the Temple of Knowledge disappeared at the same time. Could there be a big mess in the City of Thousand Towers?

Subtle worries welled up in his heart, and Ivan used dimensional teleportation to send a note to Afrediya. Without disabling his Titan form, he carefully gathered the rare raw materials and soared into the sky in the form of Hades.

The Demon King, his expression grim, came running towards him, his discontent clearly visible even in his ancient dragon form. Watching someone soar into the sky with their arms raised high, Afrediya angrily slammed her tail against the ground.

"I also want to see the ancient ruins!" A roar of an evil dragon was heard on the ground, but Ivan's receding figure seemed not to hear it and instead quickened his pace.

Even if I were to bring my girlfriend to the ruins, I'd have to investigate the situation first. He muttered to himself as the Titan, clad in iron-gray armor, switched to warp propulsion. Relying on the continuous acceleration generated by the curvature of space, the vast distance from the Earth's surface to outer space and then to the Lagrange point was easily traversed.

Even though it hadn't yet reached its full form, this distance felt to Ivan like the distance he used to walk from home to work. The entire journey was incredibly quick, truly akin to a Titan capable of interplanetary travel.

When the vast space building that seemed to block the sun's rays appeared in front of him again, Alvin left the space bubble constructed by the warp navigation mode and slowly reduced his forward speed by means of reverse thrust of the vector engine.

As expected, the group of automatic guards that looked like solar water heaters immediately flew out of the space station. They formed a dense V-formation to block the way and then sent out a series of warning messages on the public channel.

"Unidentified magical weapon detected. Warning: No one is allowed to enter the work area of ​​the Sun God Utunia without a permit! Please retreat to the public space under the escort of the automated guards!"

After thinking about it, Alvin did not choose to force his way in. Instead, he stretched out his hand to create a swirling black space crack and began to search for something in the lepton space.

Then he took out - tap tap tap tap, the head of the sun god Utunia!

Alvin couldn't help but want to laugh out loud as he automatically imagined the sound effect of a 22nd century blue-skinned mechanical fat man taking out a magical little prop.

However, with his current appearance of holding someone's head (although it is a mechanical one), no matter how sunny and cheerful his smile is, he will probably be regarded as a perverted (robot) killer, right?

Upon seeing the head of the Sun God Utunia, the automated guards immediately went into a state of shutdown, about to switch to attack mode. However, before they could do so, the surrounding light, manipulated by Ivan's spiritual power, transformed into slender golden needles that penetrated the interior of the Sun God Utunia's skull, creating a connection path and forcibly controlling the internal differential engine.

For ordinary extraordinary people, it is simply a fantasy to use this method to hack into the ancient empire system and simulate the authority of the sun god. However, the soul ability in the awakening of the Titan - the Creator of Light can easily do it, and it can definitely be done~.

Sensing the exclusive pass signal of the sun god Utunia, the stuck automatic guards immediately put away their weapons and became safer and more harmless than a real solar water heater.

"You are allowed to pass. Welcome to our guidance, Your Excellency the Great Sun God Utunia."

Chapter 230: Don’t Noise, Think

After obtaining the pass, Alvin immediately transferred the authority that originally belonged to the sun god Utunia to himself.

Then, this iron head is useless!

This was just a joke, of course. After all, it was a culmination of ancient imperial technology, so even if it wasn't used for research, it at least had some collectible value, like an antique.

After collecting the head of the sun god Utunia, Ivan followed the automated guard to the nearby space station. This artificial structure, floating in space, was located at a Lagrange point. Its shape resembled a blooming flower, with functional buildings extending outward from its central axis. At the outermost edge was a spaceport for small aircraft, and at the end of the central axis, there was a special berth for the Heavy Mechagod.

Ivan wasn't particularly surprised by the Ancient Empire's development of space technology. It would be strange if the Ancient Empire didn't possess aerospace technology, given the ability to create something like the Heavy Mecha God. Based on known information, it seems the Ancient Empire didn't possess the ability to leave its planetary system before its demise. In other words, they didn't become a true space civilization.

From his experience in the Silent Desert, Ivan knew that the Giant Kingdom had sealed away most of the Titan relics before its own destruction, in order to minimize the impact of Titan technology on subsequent civilizations. However, their own magical technology was also developed based on Titan relics. The ancient empire that inherited this civilization's achievements, perhaps due to an incomplete theoretical foundation, encountered a bottleneck after reaching a certain level of development that was difficult to break through.

In order to break through the limitations caused by this inherent deficiency, the ancient empire finally launched a radical plan to create artificial giants based on the legendary Titans in the late period.

In this way, everything is connected.

Ivan nodded slightly, gathered his strength and switched the giant form back to human form, then entered the space station through the personnel entrance.

[Welcome to the Empire's Third Space City.] These words appeared on the wall ahead. It was a display screen composed of a large number of movable blocks, which could form words by changing the degree of convexity and concavity of the blocks.

If there's a third space city, then are there also two? Ivan made this calculation as a matter of course. At the same time, he realized he had escaped the weightlessness of space, his feet able to easily touch the ground. The centrifugal force generated by the station's rotation created simulated gravity within the station. Looking around, Ivan noticed the overall decor was quite modern, with most items and equipment being minimalist, consistent with the level of civilization seen at the end of the ancient empire.

Thanks to his speed, he quickly completed his exploration of the outer living areas of the Third Space City. While he found many artifacts from the Imperial Era, most of them were daily necessities with a higher collectible value than actual value. A few documents did mention some interesting items.

"Preliminary observations on the utilization rate of solar energy from the Passerby Ruins..." Alvin held an unfinished paper in his hand. This part of the text was written in a palm-sized notebook, which was probably a note used by researchers to record inspiration.

Alvin discovered a lot of interesting information, so he didn't stay any longer and immediately headed deeper into the Third Dimension City. Thanks to the high authority of the Sun God Utunia, Alvin was able to pass through various checkpoints and enter the Third Dimension City unimpeded. This place was no longer a living area, but contained numerous laboratories with different functions and a large number of machines that kept the space city running smoothly.

However, the puzzling part was that no humans or human remains were seen in either the living area or the experimental area. Yet, there were no signs of a hasty evacuation. In the living area, there was even uneaten food on the tables, as if everyone in Space City had suddenly vanished.

This made Alvin secretly alert. After entering the most critical central control hall of the space city, he was still thinking about the answer to this question.

The control hall is filled with various operating panels with many different knobs and buttons, which can obviously be used to control the various functions of the entire space city.

The most important thing inside is a huge differential engine that occupies two-thirds of the space. The ancient empire developed this mechanical computer to an extremely high level. There are no gears or other structures on the outside. It is just a square metal column similar to a brass clock.

But mechanical computers must have theoretical limits, right? Could that level of computing power alone power an entire space city to operate autonomously for decades without any issues?

Ivan was curious about this. Relying on Titan's special perception of matter, he discovered that there were a large number of cables laid under the floor, which connected the operation panel to the core differential engine through preset interfaces. In addition to the mechanical gears, there seemed to be something else inside the differential engine.

After taking two steps forward, the spirit terminal suddenly responded.

【*@＆……＃error report! 】

The corners of Ivan's mouth moved, as if he understood something.

[Report an error!] [Report an error!] [Report an error!] [Report an error!] [Report an error!] [Report an error!] [Report an error!] [Report an error!] [Report an error!]…

A staggering number of error reports, like a DDOS attack, flooded the Spiriton terminal. Under the onslaught, Ivan felt as if his head were swelling. He finally managed to sort through this "junk" information. He immediately opened the Central Differential Engine's casing and, as expected, found a crystal artifact imbued with the style of the Giant Kingdom era.

Well, apart from the expensive gold shell, it was simply an information processing device made by the giant imitating Titan technology. It was exactly the same as the wisdom tablet in his hand, and even the size and specifications were not much different.

Ivan stood there speechless.

He felt like he had opened a 19th-century clock and was stunned to find that there was an Apple phone connected to it, and the latter was even older than the 19th-century clock.

Therefore, although the impact was not enough to cause mental damage, it was definitely shocking and unexpected.

As for why the lepton terminal reacted, it was certainly not because of the wisdom slate embedded in the core differential engine, but because of some real Titan creations that maintained a remote connection with the wisdom slate.

In fact, he had already anticipated this when he saw the unfinished paper.
