For a moment, I didn’t know which Xiao Qi to help.

Chapter 252 Time Collapse

Levida's roar suddenly interrupted my thoughts. It seemed that something important had happened on the Star Torch.

I quickly continued climbing to the top of the tower, found a platform, and wanted to sneak over.

"Let her go quickly." Levida's words were full of anger.

"She is the one who is willing to serve as the energy source for the Star Torch for the future of mankind. This has nothing to do with me." It was Haotian's voice.

This damn bastard is using Xiao Qi for something again.

Passing through several passages, getting closer and closer,

Finally walking inside, I saw Xiao Qi sitting on a golden seat, controlling the charging of the Star Torch. The overflowing spiritual energy was continuously extracted and then sent to the irradiation device on the top of the Star Torch. .

"Xiao Qi, come down quickly!" Levida was blocked in front of Xiao Qi by Logos and Haotian.

"As long as I defeat you, this bastard, we can usher in eternal light for mankind!" Xiao Qi only had eyes for the Mechanical Emperor who was desperately resisting.

The star torch's light shined and concentrated again, piercing through the space like a sharp blade and sweeping away. If the Machine Emperor was hit again, it might not just be his head this time.

"Go to hell!" Xiao Qi shouted.

I know that the current Machine Emperor is controlled by Xiao Qi from another time. No matter what happens between them, I cannot just watch them kill each other.

Just when the psychic beam was about to attack the Mechanical Emperor, I rushed over and threw Xiao Qi to the ground on the golden throne.

"Dad?!" Xiao Qi looked at me in shock.

Although I look like a tin can now, Xiao Qi still recognized me.

"Xiao Qi, no, you can't kill it." I wanted to quickly convince Xiao Qi.

"Xiao Qi!" Levida also rushed over.

"You go first, Logos, the task here is completed, let me enjoy the rest." Haotian stood aside and laughed.

"If I hadn't gone back to recuperate where I was injured by that damn Taoist priest, I would have tied you back directly." The masked man's tone was still so eerie and strange, but it soon disappeared with the light of psychic energy.

"Mom and Dad, don't force me, you don't understand anything. I must, must kill it! Get out of the way, I must go back..." Xiao Qi roared and tried to break away from my arms.

I was afraid of hurting Xiao Qi, so regardless of using all my strength, Xiao Qi got out with all his strength and rushed towards the golden throne.

There was a sudden loud bang, and the mechanical emperor's protection, which had been torn apart, rushed in front of the star torch, and the huge mechanical arm punched directly into the top layer of the star torch.

Instantly, smoke and sparks flew everywhere, and Xiao Qi was pinched in his hand.

"Xiao Qi!" Levida and I quickly chased after him.

"Damn it, it was so close...you bastard!" Xiao Qi shouted heartbreakingly.

"Wake up." Another Xiao Qi's appearance was projected from in front of the Mechanical Emperor.

"Who are you?!" Xiao Qi looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

"I am you who made this mistake and can never be forgiven. You at this moment are my lifelong shame and eternal pain."

"You're talking nonsense. I don't know who you are and why you use my appearance, but I sacrifice myself to light up the future of mankind, just like someone must hold a lamp in the dark night." Xiao Qi tried hard to retort, she did not accept her own His efforts were so easily dismissed by the other party.

"I really want to crush this stubborn you to death right now. Take a good look. Without your so-called spiritual power, has the light of this star torch been reduced?" Xiao Qi in the image shouted with grief and anger.

"How... is this possible?" Xiao Qi turned around and looked at the Star Torch, which was still shining without her own spiritual energy.

"It was never about sacrificing you. What this star torch burns is not your spiritual energy at all, but the souls of innocent humans! The greatest shame in my life is to build this inhumane incinerator."

"What a good show." Haotian floated in the air, clapped his hands and flew between the two Xiao Qi.

"You...you deceived me?! This is impossible. Everything you said is obviously true." Xiao Qi looked at Haotian in shock.

"I'm not lying to you. If we don't build a star torch to illuminate this planet and change the speed of light in this world, humans will soon be targeted by the raging high-dimensional void monsters in the subspace. It's just that this protective net needs a Little... price. I happened to forget to tell you." Haotian seemed to be enjoying Xiao Qi's regretful expression.

"When the Star Torch is activated, thousands of human souls are annihilated in milliseconds. If there were high-quality psykers to light up such a small area of ​​the earth, it would require the sacrifice of hundreds of psykers a year. Do you understand what you have done?" Xiao Qi, who controlled the Machine Emperor, explained the doomsday scene she had experienced.

"I..." Xiao Qi looked at the tall and shining star torch hesitantly, seeming to realize that he had made an irreparable mistake.

"Then strangle her to death. I'm still wondering why the Machine Emperor suddenly lost control. How come the Machine Clan can't even deal with consumables like a human being." Haotian looked at Xiao Qi in the distance mockingly.

"You tried to deceive me again."

"I'm not lying to you. If the star torch is not lit, humans will really be torn apart by the high-dimensional monsters in the subspace. Compared with destruction, of course it is more cost-effective to die slowly." Haotian slowly explained .

"You didn't light it up just for this." Xiao Qi and Haotian faced off.

"Of course, the greater use of the Star Torch is to guide people from another world through subspace. The emperor will be here soon." Haotian still seemed to have a chance of winning.

"Let Xiao Qi go, let's kill this bastard together and then find a way." I quickly shouted to Xiao Qi loudly.

"There is a way... yes there is a way... there is indeed a way. If the present me kills the past me, this period of history will collapse and everything can be changed. Dad, you have that ability, right? You quickly take your mother to avoid this space-time collapse, and then prevent this from happening." Xiao Qi, who controlled the Mechanical Emperor, shouted desperately.

"No! Absolutely not. As long as we are a family together, there is nothing we can't solve. You don't need to do such a thing just for such a mistake!" I didn't expect Xiao Qi to come up with such a theory,

Levida also held my hand nervously. She probably felt that she was stupid and didn't know how to persuade Xiao Qi, so she could only give all her hopes to me and wait silently.

"So there is such a way. I really underestimate you, the little devil incarnation, but I guess you can't do it, because if you really do this, you will be completely wiped out from history." Haotian is still there. On the side, Xiao Qi was deliberately angered.

"Of course I will take responsibility for the mistakes I made. Goodbye, Mom and Dad." Xiao Qi wiped her eyes, determined to kill her past self.

Mistake...?

I understand, I understand, it turns out that I am the one who can stop Xiao Qi.

The mind of Bagua deduces all things and travels to and from all worlds.

To communicate with the virtues of gods and to imitate the emotions of all things.

Xiaoqi, I will help you correct this mistake.

Chapter 253 The machine soul is displeased

After using Bagua Heart on Xiao Qi, I felt a painful dizziness. When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a completely unfamiliar mechanical world.

The industrial city rises from the ground, as red as the burned ground. Looking up, it looks like thousands of steel fortresses. The shining red streams are like blood, passing between different factories.

But I have already guessed that according to the timeline, this should be before the human mechanical ascension in that world.

I tried to support myself, but found that I was no longer an iron pot, but a weak body.

The stench of thick smoke around me made it almost impossible to breathe, and almost killed me.

"Are you... okay?" A familiar voice came from behind. It was Xiao Qi wearing a red cloak and a breathing tube mask.

She stretched out the mechanical staff in her hand towards me and tried to pull me up, but she seemed to be afraid of contact with me.

"I..." I wanted to tell her with all my strength not to build the star torch, so that my mission would be completed, but the sulfur-like gas made me lose my voice.

I collapsed soon after and woke up in a mechanized hut filled with research equipment and mechanical materials.

"Are you awake? Although I don't know who you are, I brought you back first, otherwise you will be dead if the Skitarii see you." Xiaoqi said while looking for an unknown material. A blanket smelling of engine oil was covered on my body.

"Uh..." I was blinded by the strong smell of engine oil.

"It's good if you have it. Don't choose. No other robot can find such a fragrant blanket." Xiao Qi took off the mask and complained casually, then brought a glass of water over.

"Where is this?" After drinking the water, I felt much refreshed and could finally speak.

"Did you drink it? Spit it out quickly." Xiao Qi quickly rubbed my stomach with a pair of robotic hands.

When she kneaded me, I spat out a large ball of black gel.

"This is a cleaning agent used to clean the external air in your respiratory tract. Why did you drink it?" Xiao Qi complained while cleaning.

"Why is the earth's environment so bad?" I thought of the environment I just saw.

"Earth? You mean the mother planet?" Xiao Qi immediately raised his head when he heard the name.

"Isn't this the earth?" I looked at Xiao Qi doubtfully.

"This is the Forging World. According to history, this place was once called Mars." Xiao Qi began to look at me doubtfully.

"Mars?" I heard Xiaoqi's words, and doubts filled my brain. What's going on? This world has colonized Mars without experiencing the Crimson King?

"Tsk, you appeared so inexplicably. You didn't wear a power armor. You're not a space warrior. What you said was so incomprehensible and you had no common sense. Could you be..." Xiao Qi kept looking at him. I.

"I did travel through time." I quickly explained.

"A succubus in the subspace?" Xiao Qi asked doubtfully.

"Hey, what is a subspace succubus?" I felt baffled as I listened to Xiao Qi's serious words.

"Don't you know this? In the golden age of mankind, the technology of traveling through subspace has been studied and the entire universe has been colonized. However, due to the emergence of the subspace succubi, mankind was almost completely wiped out, and the emperor had no choice but to close all subspaces. Space channel." Xiao Qi explained seriously.

"I'm not. There's no such thing as a succubus like me. By the way, I'm actually your father. I came across time and space to save you." I tried my best to organize my words so that Xiao Qi wouldn't feel scared.

"Then my father is a succubus?" Xiao Qi almost covered her mouth and laughed.

"I told you it's not a succubus, it's not a succubus." I quickly retorted.

"Humph, if you want a succubus, you must be a succubus." Xiao Qi suddenly started making trouble unreasonably.

"Ah, do you like Daddy Succubus so much? Can you just..." My brain was overloaded with random thoughts.

"Because I haven't caught a physical succubus yet, I want to study it carefully. You can rest assured that I will fight it back for you. If you can't fight it back, I will help you transform into an electronic succubus." Xiao Qi laughed evilly.

"As expected of you." Only then did I understand what Xiao Qi was thinking.

"Okay, there is a set of abandoned and unnumbered breathing equipment over there. You can take it. It doesn't matter what you do or what your purpose is in casting the world. As long as you don't give me a confession if you are caught." Xiao Qi seemed to think that After playing with it enough, I was ready to turn around and continue researching.

"I am really your father, where is your mother?" I asked eagerly.

"Do you have to tell me if there is something wrong with your brain? Although I really want one, I don't have a father or a mother. I was born from a machine soul." Xiao Qi retorted angrily.

I was shocked by Xiaoqi's words. When I thought about it carefully, it was really outrageous that I appeared so inexplicably and suddenly said in a hurry that I was someone else's father.

"You should leave quickly. Fortunately, this is my studio. No one cares about my research, so no sages usually come here. However, if you stay too long, you will easily be caught by routine inspections." Qi urged again.

I didn't know how to refute, so I could only try my best to think of any evidence that could convince Xiao Qi.

"Dong dong dong." Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Quick, quick, put it on." Xiao Qi heard the knock on the door and was almost frightened out of her wits. She couldn't find a hiding place, so she quickly asked me to put on the red cloak and breathing mask.

"Praise Meishen, hello, Xiao Qi." The other party was also dressed in a red cloak and mask, but his expression was a bit arrogant.

"Great... Great Sage, I usually don't see you here, why are you here today." Xiao Qi immediately became respectful when he saw the other party.

"Tomorrow, a big shot from the Emperor's side will come to the Forge World to visit the construction process of the Imperial Titan. Although such an important matter will definitely not be related to humble Mechanic Priests like you. But it happens that the research of you people is somewhat related. It may please the machine soul, so the bishop asked me to inform you to be there to welcome the big man." The great sage arranged his orders one after another.

"Praise Meishen, Xiao Qi understands." Xiao Qi nodded quickly.

"Who is that?" The great sage turned around and saw me at a loss.

"He is also a priest, and he happens to be related to what I am researching, so I came to take a look." Xiao Qi quickly came to my rescue.

"Praise the God of Machine." I quickly imitated their words.

"What's it called?" the great sage asked casually.

"...My name is Ohm." Xiaoqi turned around and saw the Ohm sign on the table, and quickly made up a name casually.

"I don't really remember this person, but this name is too common. There are tens of thousands if not thousands, but since it is related to your research, let's come together tomorrow." The great sage glanced doubtfully and left. .

After the great sage left, Xiao Qi lay down on the stool, breathing heavily.

"Hey, is he very powerful?" I was a little surprised that Xiao Qi was so nervous.

"The Sages are the big names in the Forge World who are responsible for archaeological human technology and looking for the restoration of STC technology." Xiao Qi introduced while turning to look at his research results.

"What did he mean by what he said? What about pleasing the machine soul?" Looking at Xiao Qi's depressed look, I probably guessed that it was not a good job.

"Usually, we just sing prayers and hymns, so it's not the turn of low-level priests like us, but the sage's words seem to imply that tomorrow's ceremony will require a sacrifice to please the machine soul before work can begin." Xiao Qi didn't. She caressed her research materials.

"Sacrifice?"

"Yes, machines have souls. Their souls are controlled by the God of All Machines. Therefore, whether a mechanical armor can be driven mainly depends on the God of All Machines. Especially high-standard and powerful machines like the Imperial Titan only have machine souls. Only in great joy will the mecha be activated, so after a certain Titan or cruiser is built, a mechanical priest will be summoned to consecrate it and recite prayers. Generally, such important machinery is the research of a certain bishop level, and every Each bishop's research direction is different. If it is a particularly important machine, he will ask other church leaders to destroy the research of their own faction in front of the God of All Machines, in order to please the machine soul." Xiao Qi explained the seriousness of the matter seriously. sex.

"If you build one and destroy some research, how can science and technology develop? Can't you just perfunctory it?" Listening to Xiaoqi's words, I had huge doubts in my heart. Such a developed world actually has such a world view.

"Because the really important research results are actually obtained through archeology of the creations of the golden age of mankind. The research of mechanical priests like us is not only not valued, but also must be exhaustive and useful enough to be pleased. Machine soul. If you just deal with it casually, you won't be able to please the machine soul at all. Such priests can only be reduced to labor slaves." Xiao Qi looked at his research, full of reluctance.

"Then what are you studying?" I asked Xiao Qi curiously.

"I'm studying subspace, but it's meaningless." Xiao Qi sighed and neatly organized all the research materials.
