Chapter 28: Lord Entropy's Commission (Part 4)
Red eerie demonic patterns rapidly spread across his skin, molten iron entwined his body like thorns, then branched and extended, simulating the posture of flesh and bones, repeatedly attaching exoskeletons, filling with soft metal, and hydraulically supporting joints.
His body grew exponentially, quickly reaching 70 meters, with a pair of massive ram horns extending from the top of his head. His face had lost its basic humanoid outline, presenting a hybrid state between a goat and an eagle.
Boiling gold flowed across his face like a dragon in action, accompanying the pouring of molten gold, ultimately covering his face with a savage golden mask.
"[Vivid Demon Iron Monarch] Karachia… during the invasion of [High Court Society] by the Secret and the Outer Realm, he was one of the Elemental Lords guarding the Miraculous Holy Spring, valiant in battle, manipulating blood and demonized iron, able to deploy thousands of troops and immortal fortresses at any time. After a great sacrifice, it was only then the Secret breached his defenses. Yet, even when Karachia was at the end of his tether, he remained ferociously fierce, ultimately bringing down the first [Blacksmith] with him, halting his rampage."
[Writer] Victor pressed his hat down, looked at the mighty and violent form, and unconsciously murmured:
"There's no mistake, this ability belongs exclusively to the [Blacksmith]. After the death of the first [Blacksmith], Karachia's form and the power of the Elemental Lord were infused into the [Blacksmith] occupation, clearing obstacles for the Secret."
"Is it truly a Senator, or the [Blacksmith]?"
[Gourmet] Chen Xiaochen swept Severston and Lanan aside, no longer playful, but rather with an incredibly serious expression:
"Besides the three Speakers, the [Scholar], the [Emperor], the [Collector]. In the Secret Council, it's the [Soldier] and the [Blacksmith] with the most destructive power."
"Look, isn't this great!? Bravo!"
[Astrologer] Kauna clenched his ten fingers tightly, shaking them up and down constantly, saying excitedly:
"We've searched for hundreds of years and haven't been able to gather 13 Senators, and now, just on Azure Star alone, we've found the [Blacksmith] and the [Tailor], this planet surely has more potential!"
"Calm down, amigo, it's not that simple."
[Writer] Victor said:
"This kid's aura rushed directly to the peak stage of the first reforging, completely ignoring the Limit Threshold. Think about what this means?"
"Indeed so."
[Astrologer] Kauna nodded, after a brief thought, said:
"It means—he is a genius? I've long seen through it, this Martial Artist is an Earthling lurking within the Starry Abyss Civilization!"
"I swear I'll knock your goofy head with a hammer! Without materials, reaching the first reforging straight away either means his lineage is extremely superior, which doesn't require reforging to reach the level of a legendary creature. But with a high purity ether concentration right from the start, it's impossible unless he's lost control."
[Gourmet] Chen Xiaochen laughed angrily, summoned a pink tongue, and blocked the nano-thread of Severston in front of him, cursing:
"I really want to crack open your skull and send it to the fourth hospital to check your internal structure, Kauna? You are our [Astrologer]? Predicting misfortune?"
"Out of control?"
Kauna took a glance at Li Aozi:
"Being out of control is better than not having anything—doesn't the Doctor on the opposing side have a collar? Let him wear it for a while and slowly adapt to the mental transformation of Mother Gaia."
Swoosh, snap!
Severston withdrew the nano-thread, sweat dripped from his forehead. Hearing the other's words, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, looked up at Li Aozi:
"Oh Leoz, why are you always so unconventional?"
Was it because Leoz was directly reborn? Without being pierced by the "Lai Anding Medical Protocol," instead, because of his unique physique, he was transformed into a Senator.
Still, even if he was once a deity-level figure, now reduced to the level of an ordinary person, can he really maintain his self in the face of Gaia's corruption?
Caramel Snail and Lanan didn't see too much, the cognition filter was still actively affecting them. From their perspective, the Invincible True General was merely temporarily retreating, resting on the battlefield's edge, barely losing any health points.
Truly, the Invincible True General, facing Kauna's burst of power, they would instantly lose half their health points, with the slightest carelessness leading to a fatality, while the Invincible True General with a Gang Qi shield would remain unscathed even after getting hit.
The Secret's shock and hesitation quickly led to adverse outcomes.
The troops of the Judgment Mech Cavalry began appearing in large numbers on the horizon, except this time they were not advancing, but retreating.
——The players from the Starry Abyss side started arriving on the battlefield one after another.
The frontal troops of the Judgment Mech Cavalry were swiftly routed by the players, compared to the flood of Ersha, the Mechanical Legion had no restraining ability against the immortal undying players.
Unlike Li Aozi and similar elites infiltrating the BOSS room, the players had a grand marching formation, swallowing the territory in one gulp. Ordinary players knew their strength was lacking, so their goals were clear: to target the basic units of the Judgment Mech Cavalry and the Apostle of Entropy.
The dispatch of the Mechanical Legion had its limits, and after the players' version update, their experience had long been squandered, completely turning them into mad dogs biting anyone they saw.
