Chapter 246: It's Going to Devour War City! Has the Apocalypse Arrived?!_2
Then the blueprint was materialized by the Mechanical Spirit, and in the blink of an eye, a few new components were added to the Mechanical City.
This is also the convenience of Data Materialization, where the blueprint can instantly become reality. Although the materialized components are somewhat weaker than real Mechanical Creations, they win in speed and convenience.
These small mechanical arms have a very simple structure, looking quite similar to excavators.
In fact, they really are excavators…
After the large mechanical arm passed by, these small excavators immediately started digging, filling in those giant footprints.
They walked and buried at the same time, extremely efficient.
Although it is impossible to restore it completely, from a distance, it wasn't as conspicuous as before.
Actually, the processed footprints are still very obvious up close, but that would suffice.
Su Yu's actions were to prevent detection from those creations of Zhang Chenfeng outside the atmosphere.
Those guys are far away outside the atmosphere, and with the obstruction of the radiation cloud, they probably can't see the movements on the ground clearly.
This disguise by Su Yu should be enough to fool them.
After handling the footprints, Su Yu finally felt at ease, then reached out and tapped on the holographic interface in front of him to confirm the first target.
"Target, War City!"
That's right, Su Yu was going to the War City.
After all, this city is the nearest to the Mechanical City, and Tie Long is a believer of Su Yu, so it was natural to go there first.
Actually, Su Yu wasn't necessarily greedy for the resources of War City.
The main concern was that if the Mechanical City ran off, the commotion would attract some unwanted attention.
And with War City being not far from Mechanical City, unlike Mechanical City that can run with legs, it would be troublesome if it caught someone's attention.
The distance from War City to Mechanical City is about a thousand kilometers, and at the current speed of the Mechanical City, it took less than an hour to reach the vicinity of War City.
At this moment, in War City, Tie Long was in silent meditation.
He had just ascended to eight stars and was not familiar with the power, so he needed to adjust.
Then a group of subordinates rushed in, all in a panic.
"Commander! Something's wrong!"
"Some terrifying thing is coming! The earth is shaking!"
"That thing is invisible, but by observing the airflow, we determined it's much larger than War City! More than ten times bigger!"
"Moreover, it's moving fast, at over 300 meters per second!"
"Commander, that thing might be some kind of ancient evil god, let's run!"
It turned out that the people of War City had discovered the approach of the Mechanical City.
Although Su Yu had activated the invisibility function, a city this large couldn't completely hide the commotion.
The fluctuations of air currents and the thunderous strides, every bit of noise felt like a divine roar to regular people, incredibly terrifying.
The people of War City thought it over and rationally concluded that whatever was coming, it wasn't something they could contend with.
Not even the Iron Dragon Commander could.
Something so much bigger than War City, still able to move at a speed of over 300 meters per second.
Faced with such a thing, not fleeing immediately would be foolish.
"What?"
Tie Long snapped out of his meditation, startled by the news, and quickly stood up.
Just hearing his people's descriptions filled him with immense pressure.
Then he activated his senses and felt the giant object approaching, a force truly unstoppable.
"What on earth is this! We need to run immediately!"
Although Tie Long was now an eight-star Transcendent, his first thought facing such terror was also to flee.
"Wait a minute! This isn't good, it's coming from the direction of Mr. Su Yu's Mechanical City..."
Tie Long was about to order an evacuation when he suddenly recalled something.
The direction from which the giant entity was coming was precisely where the Mechanical City was.
"Could it be that Mr. Su Yu has been... No, I can't leave, I must ensure Mr. Su Yu's safety..."
Tie Long's heart tightened.
At this moment, he was already a loyal believer of Su Yu, and realizing Su Yu could be in danger, he immediately repressed his urge to flee.
"Great Mr. Su Yu..."
He prayed inwardly, wanting to contact Su Yu.
Moments later, he heard Su Yu's voice: "Tie Long, don't panic..."
Su Yu sensed the prayers, so he used the connection through the prayer's light to communicate with Tie Long.
Then Su Yu detailed the situation to Tie Long.
Upon hearing Su Yu's voice, Tie Long was initially reassured.
But after listening to Su Yu's explanation, he became utterly shocked.
So that terrifying thing approaching at high speed was the Mechanical City?
Mr. Su Yu had transformed the Mechanical City to a hundred times its size, added legs, and was now driving this massive city over?
Su Yu even intended to use the Mechanical City to engulf War City?
Even with the mindset of an eight-star Transcendent, Tie Long was full of disbelief upon hearing this, unable to comprehend.
Had he not been a believer of Su Yu, he might have thought Su Yu was joking.
Thankfully, the benefit of being a believer was unconditional faith in the object of belief.
So Tie Long quickly accepted this incredible truth.
"Mr. Su Yu, if you need my War City, then please just take it."
"The citizens of War City can also merge into the Mechanical City to serve Mr. Su Yu."
Tie Long prayed silently in his heart.
"As expected..."
Su Yu, still a hundred kilometers away, sighed softly upon hearing Tie Long's words.
Su Yu actually always knew that as long as he spoke, Tie Long would agree to this.
But still, he asked, and the result was as expected.
Tie Long had anchored War City for so many years and surely had feelings for this city, but hearing Su Yu's needs, he offered it up without hesitation.
Su Yu was unsure whether Tie Long's actions were due to the power of belief altering his nature or simply wanting to repay Su Yu for saving his life.
This question might even be difficult for Tie Long to answer himself.
"Is this the fate of becoming a believer? To offer everything for the object of faith."
"Now I'm asking him to offer War City, and Tie Long has no hesitation. If I were to ask him to offer the lives of family and friends, what then?"
Su Yu shook his head slightly, dismissing the thought, as he didn't truly intend for Tie Long to offer the lives of family and friends.
Su Yu wasn't really an evil god and had no penchant for tormenting people's hearts.
He simply steered the Mechanical City, steadily advancing toward War City.
Soon, the Mechanical City approached War City.
To put it accurately, it descended directly above War City!
At this moment, because it was close enough, the Mechanical City's protective shield had already enveloped War City.
Both were within the shield, so the invisibility effect was ineffective on War City as well.
The inhabitants of War City witnessed an unforgettable sight.
A floating metal continent appeared out of nowhere above War City, blocking out the entire sky!
That's right, a floating continent!
From the perspective of War City, they could only see the "underside" of the Mechanical City.
There were no buildings there, just a large alloy base, appearing as a floating metal continent, far larger than War City, suddenly descending upon it!
Above the floating metal continent "grew" a dense mass of mechanical arms.
These arms hung down from the sky like a giant net, ensnaring War City tightly.
Then, everyone watched as the massive floating continent seemed to split open into huge and ferocious "mouths" and "mandibles."
And these ferocious mouths and mandibles slowly pressed toward War City.
The entire floating metal continent was descending!
The residents of War City had long been scared out of their wits.
But when the Mechanical City started descending, the terrifying pressure snapped them back to reality.
Seeing those ferocious mouths and mandibles, the people of War City immediately understood what this terrifying metal continent had come to do.
It was going to consume them!
"It's going to eat us!"
"It's going to consume War City!"
"Oh my God!"
"Is this the end of the world?"
