Chapter 234: Has Su Yu Truly Become a God? Should We Also Pray and Give It a Try?_2
Several high-ranking officials watched for a while. Although they noticed a few things, their doubts only deepened.
How could humans suddenly undergo such a mutation?
Could it be that Lin Zhiwen suddenly awakened some strange Extraordinary Ability? Is there such an ability?
The crowd couldn't figure out the reason and became more vigilant, ready to subdue Lin Zhiwen at any moment.
Though Lin Zhiwen was merely a two-star Transcendent and quite weak, after his mechanical mutation, who knows what his strength might be?
As residents of the Mechanical City, everyone was well aware of the power of machinery.
"What was Lin Zhiwen doing just before the mutation?"
Yang Lie suddenly asked.
Someone immediately replied, "He was... praying to Mr. Su Yu."
"He broke his leg but refused treatment, hoping to pray to Master Su Yu for a miracle..."
"Wait, could this be a miracle from Mr. Su Yu?"
The person seemed to realize something and quickly added.
"What? Prayed to Master Su Yu and then mutated?"
The others were taken aback upon hearing this.
In fact, most people didn't believe those mystical explanations.
Although Administrator Su Yu is powerful, he ascended step by step from weakness through cultivation. What does this have to do with divinity?
So only a handful of extremists prayed to Su Yu; the others didn't pay much attention.
But now, Lin Zhiwen actually prayed for a "miracle," what was going on?
While the crowd was bewildered, Lin Zhiwen had already consumed an entire steel dining table.
Meanwhile, his broken leg had fully recovered.
However, the surface of this leg faintly gleamed with a metallic sheen, difficult to notice without careful inspection.
But everyone knew, this was just the appearance.
They had just witnessed with their own eyes how machinery and flesh combined within that leg, mysterious and bizarre, nothing like a normal human leg.
Not just the leg, even Lin Zhiwen's entire skin was exuding a faint metallic luster.
The crowd was alarmed, realizing Lin Zhiwen had not only mutated his leg but his entire body.
The mutated Lin Zhiwen stood there, seemingly bewildered and at a loss.
Every now and then, red light flickered in his eyes, as if some mechanical device was operating deep within his pupils.
A buzzing sound came from his mouth, indicating his teeth had transformed into sharp, high-speed chain blades.
Even a faint engine humming could be heard from his chest.
No one knew if his heart had mutated into an engine, and what kind of fuel it was burning?
Thinking about these matters, the crowd grew increasingly tense, wary of Lin Zhiwen's sudden attack.
Although they vaguely guessed this might be a "miracle" bestowed by Master Su Yu, how could they be sure it wasn't some Evil God's curse?
Boom!
Lin Zhiwen suddenly moved. He punched out, generating explosive sounds in the air, displaying immense power.
Then he opened his fist, revealing his palm.
A hole appeared in the center of his palm, light flickering inside, seemingly preparing some dangerous attack.
"Not good, he's going to attack!"
Everyone was startled and quickly dispersed.
Some strong Transcendents already gathered their strength, ready to act at any moment.
Because just now, the power of Lin Zhiwen's punch was too strong, seemingly at a... five-star level! Possibly even stronger!
Lin Zhiwen, clearly just a weak two-star, mutated into a five-star powerhouse. This was too incredible, too dangerous.
Though a five-star level wasn't much within Su Yu's mechanical combat corps.
In this crowd, however, it represented an absolute elite, with few possessing such strength.
If Lin Zhiwen unleashed his power, the scene would immediately turn into a bloodbath.
Moreover, there were unknown Mechanical Weapons within Lin Zhiwen, making him even more dangerous!
Some were already sweating coldly.
They stared at Lin Zhiwen's palm, unsure of what kind of dangerous attack might emerge from it.
As the atmosphere grew tense, Lin Zhiwen suddenly retracted his palm, causing the light within to vanish.
Then he burst into joyful laughter:
"Hahaha! Master Su Yu heard my prayer and has granted me the Divine Blessing!"
"I have now become a mechanical believer of Master Su Yu! This is the greatest honor!"
After laughing loudly for a few moments, he immediately knelt toward the east, praying devoutly, "Great Su Yu..."
This guy looked a bit manic, but the crowd breathed a sigh of relief instead.
Was it really the "miracle" and "blessing" descended by Master Su Yu?
Yang Lie and other high-ranking officials exchanged glances, addressing Lin Zhiwen, "Lin Zhiwen, are you saying all this is Su Yu's blessing?"
They still struggled to believe it.
The City of Heavenly Punishment was far from the Mechanical City, making signal connections impossible to confirm with Su Yu.
In this situation, they would not easily trust Lin Zhiwen's words alone.
Upon hearing the crowd's doubt, Lin Zhiwen stopped his prayer and retorted, "Of course... "
Daring to question Master Su Yu's Divine Power, a bunch of disloyal guys...
But before he finished, there was another sudden change.
Two beams of light shot from his eyes, condensing into a holographic projection in the air.
It was Su Yu.
"Administrator!"
Seeing Su Yu appear, everyone was shocked and promptly saluted.
Su Yu's projection was lifelike, even exuding his unique aura and pressure.
The projection nodded and then rotated its gaze, surveying the surroundings, showing remarkable clarity.
He was utilizing the mechanical structure within Lin Zhiwen's body for remote communication.
Normally, over such a great distance without orbital satellites, signal transmission would be extremely difficult.
Building numerous base stations along the several-thousand-kilometer route between the two cities, along with regular maintenance, would be very troublesome.
However, through his connection with the believers, Su Yu easily achieved this remote communication, with minimal latency, almost none at all.
"The effect is good,"
Su Yu thought to himself.
He had been vexed about how to handle zealous believers like Lin Zhiwen.
Then a sudden idea struck him, and he remotely bestowed him with the Mechanical Blessing, making Lin Zhiwen semi-mechanized.
After all, a fanatic like Lin Zhiwen could not turn back.
If left unchecked, Lin Zhiwen's constant wild fantasies about praying could accidentally reach an Evil God, causing trouble.
It was better to grant him a blessing so he'd be more composed.
Moreover, this way, Su Yu could use his body as a convenient means of remote communication.
Su Yu had long tested the possibility of remote communication with believers.
Previously, he had used this method to command Radiation Beast believers in the Radiation Land to mine resources there.
But those Radiation Beasts, being flesh and blood, had low communication efficiency.
Now, with Lin Zhiwen accepting the Mechanical Blessing and becoming semi-mechanized, efficiency increased significantly, even allowing entire holographic projections to be transmitted.
They could even use Lin Zhiwen's body as a living "base station."
When Su Yu reaches the base of the Giant God Soldiers, he can use mechanical believers to master the situation in the Mechanical City, making it exceedingly convenient.
With these pros and cons clearly in mind, Su Yu finally addressed the crowd, "No need to panic, this is my new ability, [Mechanical Blessing]."
"Lin Zhiwen's body was incomplete, and this ability restored him to wholeness, even stronger than before."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
So it really was Su Yu's power.
Ability? It was more like a miracle!
It even elevated Lin Zhiwen to a five-star level! Such power is too astonishing.
And what kind of ability is named [Blessing]?
The name itself suggests a connection with divinity.
Could Mr. Su Yu have really become a god?
The crowd's eyes flickered, occasionally glancing at Lin Zhiwen.
They pondered whether they too should pray to Su Yu and request a "blessing."
