Please be my partner.

While Mellen was thinking, Garuru had also set all the conditions he wanted. Now there were only seven silver lines left, and each one was extremely thick.

Seeing this, Melen withdrew his thoughts and began to rapidly burn his spiritual energy.

With the previous experience with Spike, Mellen understood that the lower the bloodline, the stronger it was, so he deliberately reserved some spiritual energy before starting the exploration of Garuru's bloodline, just to confirm whether there was a limit to bloodline exploration.

During the Spike incident, although they made their choice the moment the 'Golden War Dog' appeared, Melen had a vague feeling that that should be the limit of that bloodline exploration.

300!

500!

700!

As the spiritual energy burns more and more fiercely, the spiritual perspective falls faster and faster.

Soon, the silver lines began to decrease.

When the burning spiritual energy reached 1200 points, only the last three silver lines remained.

Finally, when the spiritual energy burned to 1400+, Melen felt a shock and stopped, and three silver lines simultaneously revealed the final information node.

It appears, the classic three-choice!

Mellen did not rush to make a choice, but looked around again. This place was not much different from the original silver space. The only difference was that the silver seemed slightly dimmer.

Further down is an invisible barrier, and it seems that some conditions need to be met before moving forward.

If the screening conditions of Mellen and Garuru were removed, there would be at least dozens of silver lines that could reach here. Each of them was extremely thick. Mellen even saw the route belonging to the metal river.

Melen withdrew his gaze and looked at the three selected evolutionary paths. His mind contacted the information node, and a large amount of information poured in...

Mechanical megastructure.

Mechanical intelligence.

Mechanical information body.

[Mechanical Megastructure (Dark Purple)]: The ultimate in-depth form of a mechanical construct, tending towards dimension and space. Multiple dimensions will be born in the particles of the machine, and it can store metal energy almost unlimitedly. A spatial node energy grid is nurtured within the machine. No matter how huge the body is, it can achieve zero delay in energy transmission.

[Mechanical Intelligence (Deep Purple)]: The ultimate in-depth form of mechanical constructs, inclined towards computing and thinking. The body's processing system will be completely liberated, and its computing power will undergo a qualitative change. It can replicate the logical thinking of intelligent life and load itself, thus enabling itself to possess the same thinking mode and creative ability as replicated life.

[Mechanical Information Body (Dark Purple)]: The ultimate in-depth form of mechanical constructs, tending towards virtuality and information. The body gains the ability of virtual spread and information invasion. It can weave a virtual world under reality and influence reality through information invasion. The more perfect the virtual world is, the more powerful it is.

After interpreting the three pieces of information, Melen's eyes sparkled. Garuru's current race is a [Mechanical Construct]. Judging from the introduction, the three evolutionary routes are actually extensions of the [Mechanical Construct], but their tendencies are different.

The first thing Mellen looked at was the [Mechanical Information Body (Dark Purple)]. This ability to weave a virtual world under the real world and then reversely influence reality through information invasion sounds very interesting.

In an instant, Melen thought of many cool operations, such as the real game world, the main god space and so on.

The only thing that made Melen frown was that weaving a virtual world takes a long time and must rely on reality. That is to say, once it starts, the starting point of the virtual world will be fixed. The scale of the virtual world can naturally be expanded in the future, but it cannot be moved, otherwise the virtual world will collapse.

This restriction was too great for Mellen.

The introduction of [Mechanical Intelligence (Deep Purple)] even made Melen a little solemn. Being able to replicate the thinking of intelligent life may seem insignificant at first glance, but it also depends on who is being replicated. If the thinking and wisdom of top technology experts like Tesla or Edison are replicated, and combined with powerful computing power, it may not take long to create a mechanical AI civilization!

This is a path that creates a powerful ethnic group through scientific research.

but!

Melen looked at the mechanical Husky and felt that this would not be a good choice.

[Mechanical Megastructure (Dark Purple)] is very simple. This is a path that brings great power to oneself and moves towards a stronger and bigger direction.

Mellen asked, "What's your choice?"

Garuru, who had also received information about the three evolutionary paths, jumped to the side of the [Mechanical Megastructure (Dark Purple)] without hesitation, pointed a mechanical claw at the silver line, and then looked at his master with anticipation.

Mellen thought to himself, as expected.

Perhaps it was because the experience of being weak in consciousness, unable to move, and gradually sinking in Pinocchio's warehouse day after day was too profound, but Garuru always had a special liking for strong and large machines.

Obviously, neither [Mechanical Intelligent Body (Dark Purple)] nor [Mechanical Information Body (Dark Purple)] are favored by Garuru. In comparison, [Mechanical Megastructure (Dark Purple)] is exactly what the mechanical dog wants.

Seeing that Mellen didn't express his opinion immediately, Garuru's expectant expression froze slightly. He quickly returned to Mellen's side, hugged his legs with his little paws, and wagged his tail to say obediently: "Whatever the master tells me to choose, I will choose! I will listen to the master!"

Feeling the sadness and uneasiness hidden under Garuru's obedience, Melen was speechless. The reason why he did not express his opinion immediately was not because he was hesitant, but because he was thinking about the future development direction of Garuru.

Seeing that he was misunderstood, Melen did not explain. He picked up Garuru and walked to the silver line, and made a choice directly...

【Mechanical Megastructure (Dark Purple)】!

Under Garuru's shining gaze, they left the silver space.

In the real world, Melen looked at Garuru's attributes. His evolutionary direction had already become [Mechanical Megastructure (Dark Purple)], and the evolutionary conditions...

A dimensional substance, a metal that contains spatial properties.

Mellen's mouth twitched and his eyes were dull.

The good news is that no spiritual energy is required at all.

The bad news is, there’s a new thing that looks difficult to deal with!

The metal containing spatial properties is okay. Although Melen has never heard of it in the current world, at least there is a clear goal.

What the hell is dimensional matter?

He had heard of the word "dimension" in his previous life, but in the extraordinary knowledge he learned in this life, there was no such concept as "dimension" at all. The closest thing was probably the spiritual world.

However, judging from the bloodline information interpreted through the wolf-shaped pendant, the spiritual world and the dimension are most likely not referring to the same place.

He suppressed these thoughts temporarily, and at the same time comforted the Garuru who was wagging its tail and jumping on him because it was too happy.

Mellen looked out the window. That was the direction of the space-time rift. A dark vortex formed in the space and swirled quietly, like the last calm before the storm.

…………

In the dark and gloomy cave, a pure white light full of hope gradually shines. Dahl bathes in the holy light and keeps moving forward, seeming out of tune with the surrounding environment.

When Dahl came to the entrance of a cave, a hoarse voice rang out: "Enough, Dahl, don't go any further. This is not a place you should set foot in, at least not now."

Dahl stopped and looked at the cave entrance in front of him. The darkness inside was dancing wildly like a living thing, as if it wanted to spread out and devour everything at any time. But in this darkness, there were faint traces of hazy light, like a small and blazing fire of hope, which always bound the darkness.

Another hoarse voice rang out: "After two months of preparation, we have all recovered and are ready to display our full strength at any time to fight for Dusk."

A third hoarse voice rang out, "But you also understand that once we leave here, all our previous efforts will be forsaken. Like a brilliant firework, it will burn out once and then be completely consumed. So, unless it is absolutely necessary, do not summon us."

Dahl nodded silently and asked, "What should we do with Mellen's pet?"

The first hoarse voice said, "A fuse? It seems to possess considerable legendary power, capable of fighting demons. But since the demons are targeting it, we must not let them succeed. If necessary, we must destroy its body and burn its soul. We must not let the demons gain anything."

"Our ambition is to protect the world. To achieve this goal, everything is expendable, including you and me."

Dahl didn't say anything more, and simply turned and left. Only his clear words floated in the cave...

“After dusk comes night, and even if the night is long, dawn will always come.”

"We are the guardians of the long dark night between dusk and dawn. Even if it means burning ourselves, we will illuminate the way forward."

This is the oath of the Knight of Dawn.

Chapter 209 Battle

The night in the space-time rift area is extremely dark, without a trace of natural light.

When the flares were launched high into the sky, lighting up the dark world, everyone saw that thousands of meters ahead of them, there was an endless and dense army of demons.

These demons were not in chaos or disorder at all. Instead, they were silent and looked at the Knights of Dusk with cold and gloomy eyes. This weird and terrifying scene was enough to make anyone's scalp tingle.

“Roar, roar, roar! Kill!!!”

A low and hoarse command came from the mouth of the legendary demon. All the demons went crazy in an instant. They made all kinds of strange noises and charged towards the Dusk Knights camp.

Imp, Babu, Shadow, Incubus, Soul Eater, Vulture, Soul Binder, Berserker, Mud, Seducer, Soul Judge...

Demons of all shapes and sizes display dazzlingly powerful abilities.

While countless demons were still charging, various spells had already flown over.

"Defense!"

A loud shout resounded through the sky.

On the side of the Knights of Dusk, knights from defensive schools such as Earth, Rock, and Mountain, wearing heavy armor and holding spiked tower shields, stood in front of all the knights like indestructible steel fortresses.

"attack!"

Another loud shout rang out.

At the back of the team, knights of various schools that excel in attack began to use offensive branding abilities.

The sky was filled with flames, ice, wind blades, and ground spikes, which fell like raindrops. The weaker demons immediately fell down in groups. Even the stronger demons could not withstand a few rounds of attacks.

"Boom!~"

The fat berserker rushed forward madly, trying to pick up the defensive knight in the front row, but was stabbed by the sharp spikes on the tower shield and blood flowed everywhere.

Some soul-binding demons tried to use soul binding to control the defensive knights, but were immediately alerted by the knights who were always on the lookout and had the ability to purify, and their control was interrupted.

Some large demons used the smaller demons around them as living weapons and threw them directly into the defensive formation of the Knights of Dusk, but most of them were shot down in mid-air, and those that occasionally fell into the formation would be killed immediately by the knights.

After years of war, the Knights of Dusk have already prepared plans for various demonic tactics and will never be helpless just because a demon suddenly displays certain abilities.

The battle could be said to have entered a white-hot state from the very beginning, with the intensity reaching its maximum. The area where the two sides fought was like a meat grinder, with broken limbs and arms soon covering the ground layer upon layer. Fortunately, the Dusk Knights had chosen a high garrison position at the beginning, otherwise they would have been buried by the corpses of demons.

On the distant mountains, high slopes and huge rocks opposite, there were figures with terrifying auras standing quietly, forming a sharp contrast with the demons around them that were rushing forward like a tide.

They are none other than the legendary demons, including the shadow demon, the six-armed snake demon, and the four-armed bat demon.

Gradually, some legendary demons began to stir, as if they were not satisfied with the current battle, they wanted something crazier and bloodier!

Immediately, the legendary demons began to appear one after another, ready to enjoy this rare feast.

Sensing the actions of the demons, legendary warriors from the Dusk Knights naturally stepped forward.

A powerful man wearing mechanical armor and with steam rising from his body when he moved leaped up and slammed down into the torrent of demons. The steam that spread out was red in color, and all the demons in the range had blood spurting out of their bodies. The temperature of the blood was extremely high, and it evaporated into a blood mist in the air.

In front of him, a huge legendary Explosive Demon walked slowly. This muscular red-eyed demon was wielding a burning sword. Flames came out from its burning hooves. There was an invisible halo of fire around it. Any life that approached it, whether it was a knight or a demon, would be burned by the intense flames.

The mechanical armored warrior made a provocative gesture to the Explosive Demon. The latter had a cold expression, and the flames on the sword in his hand burned more and more fiercely, with boiling hot blood flowing on it. This was its blood. Once other lives were contaminated by it, it would cause a more intense and long-lasting burning like a cancer attached to the bones.

The Explosive Demon began to charge at an accelerated speed, and the ground where its burning hooves stepped would leave scorched marks. These marks would also retain its power, causing damage to other lives that stepped on them.

"Boom!~"

The two figures collided with each other, showing the most primitive violence.

In the air, the spells were as dazzling as colorful fireworks. An old wizard in a gray robe and a wizard hat was standing in the air, holding a giant staff of nearly two meters in one hand. There were more than a dozen scrolls full of spiritual light floating around him, and spells were being released one after another from these scrolls.

The old wizard's opponent is a legendary fly demon with a humanoid body, wearing a gorgeous dress, but with a fly's head.

The legendary fly demon holds a short staff in one hand and an ancient scroll in the other, as elegant as a gentleman, with countless powerful spells blooming from his body.

"Buzz!~"

A pure white light appeared and instantly spread across the entire battlefield.

Then Dal was seen floating up, with white wings of light spreading out from behind him. This was the light of dawn, the fire of hope, which brought people unparalleled courage and faith.

The members of the Dusk Knights, illuminated by the light, all cheered, their fighting spirit growing stronger.

Dal did not join the battle, but just floated in the air, quietly watching the demons.

The legendary seducer, the third most powerful legendary demon in the space-time rift zone, the actual controller of the demon army, stood behind the demon army and looked at Dal calmly.

Feeling the strong fighting spirit rising on the battlefield, golden arcs of light flashed around Spike from time to time. He couldn't wait to start a hearty fight.

At this moment, Spike suddenly felt that he was being targeted, just like when he was weak and was fighting for food in the garbage dump and was being targeted by a huge vicious dog.

Spike followed his senses and saw that the legendary six-armed snake demon he had fought before was staring at it closely and slowly swimming in its direction.

This gesture is clearly an invitation to continue the unfinished battle.

Spike looked at Mellen, who nodded and without hesitation activated [Soul Interaction] to bless Spike.

The golden light around Spike suddenly became stronger, forming a golden armor. Although the golden armor looked rather simple, the powerful aura flowing on it was enough to move even legends.

Mellen looked at Spike, then at the battlefield around him, vaguely understanding that because of the blessing of the environment, Spike's control of the golden fighting spirit became more handy.

Spike came in front of the six-armed snake demon, but the latter did not attack directly. Instead, he looked at Spike with a strong... possessiveness in his eyes.

The six-armed snake demon said in demon language: "What a powerful and special soul! I will kill you and take your soul back. I will use the secret treasure of my clan to transform you into a new six-armed snake demon. With your talent and potential, you may become a demon lord in the future!"

Spike remained unmoved and let out a low... roar (You will die in my hands, and I will step on your corpse to achieve my legendary path)!

After a brief exchange of words, both sides launched an attack directly.
