Start with the Readers Chapter 44: God’s Messenger
Afternoon Town in a nightmare.
When Abner saw all the lights of the Floating Void City turned on, he was also taken aback, and almost took the "gear book" back.
——He was a little worried that the changes in the floating city would attract those dangerous things in the afternoon town, and then implicate himself.
But soon, Abner keenly noticed that there was nothing unusual in the town, as if those monsters in the darkness hadn't noticed the dazzling lights in the floating city at all.
"The ceremony to protect the Floating Void City, I judged from the video shown in the "Gear Book" before, it is an enlarged version of the secret technique "Evans' Hidden Barrier"...
"This mystical barrier should have borrowed the rich 'darkness' divine power left by the goddess in the town, and plunged Floating Void City into a 'nightmare' deeper than this 'nightmare' afternoon town. Those monsters turned a blind eye to it.
"The nightmare of 'I' is deeper than yours, so compared to you, 'I' is in a hidden state! Unless you also fall into a deeper nightmare, it will not affect 'I'... combined with the Kingdom of the Night The foggy town of ' and the church in the town of 'Kabas' in East Chester County, it can be roughly inferred that this is the principle.
"The reason why I can see it and notice its changes is because the 'barrier' created by the black gem bestowed by the goddess on my chest with divine power is consistent with the principle of the 'barrier' of the Floating Void City... also That is to say, I am in the same level of 'nightmare' as it.
"In other words, the barrier 1 outside the Floating Void City is useless to me... After all, our 'layers' and 'secrecy' are the same."
After thinking for a while, Abner understood the reason, and couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.
At the same time, he also walked along the stairs to the position where the middle level of the afternoon town is connected to the platform of the floating city.
When they all came here, Abner crossed the barrier visible to the naked eye without much hesitation.
Then, as he expected, the barrier failed to hinder him in any way, but when he passed, Abner felt that he seemed to be marked by something, and his inspiration was also telling him that he was being watched.
Abner didn't care about this, if the Floating Void City didn't even have this bit of vigilance, even if there was a barrier, it would have been destroyed long ago.
However, after thinking about it, Abner still simulated the combined ability of "psychological invisibility" and "shadow hiding". After all, he is too conspicuous as an outsider. Oh no.
Although he has good intentions, he will not fight back after being beaten, will he?
And before the other party's ruler came to communicate, he wanted to take the opportunity to see more and collect some information.
In fact, due to the sudden start of all high-energy-consuming projects in "Morning Star City", the people in the city gradually became panic, fear, excitement, and fanaticism from the initial stunned and sluggish. And so on.
Those who panicked and feared remembered the "Morning Star Falling" back then, thinking that there would be some major changes in this last homeland or that it would be difficult to deal with the enemy's invasion.
The excitement and fanatics are because they think of the "Machine Emperor" they reverence, and the prophecy left by the existence like a god-"When he returns, the morning star will surely shine, and the disaster will be far away..."
I don't know how many "people" spontaneously came from the inside of the middle and lower peaks, along the passage to the surface, and gathered under the statue of the "Machine Emperor" in front of the central tower to pray.
It was an eye-opener for Abner to follow this flow of "people".
Because 99% of them have received complete mechanical transformation, and only a very small number of "young" people born in recent decades have only changed parts of their parts into reproductive equipment.
Because of the scarcity of materials, a lot of metals are obtained locally from the afternoon town, so the styles of the clothing are also varied, and various "mix-and-match" styles are prevalent, making Abner once thought that he had "transmigrated" to a certain place again. An underground street in a cyberpunk world.
However, this "custom" that has been completely refitted, and even the brain is replaced with material simulation, has provided Abner with a lot of convenience.
For example, after he became a demigod, his "information extraction" ability sublimated from "breath extraction" could only "see" some local shallow "records".
But now, those mechanical brains that store "information" have become ready-made "databases" that can be "extracted" by Abner.
After all, those machines are different from the brains of normal humans. They are essentially the same as the "information" retained in the environment, and they are all within the scope of the "prophet" ability.
"202 years ago, the morning star fell... Well, this year... I remember that according to the information shown in the 'Gear Book', it took 203 years for the floating city to fall from the sky... The two numbers are so close, Does it indicate something?
"The five great alchemists fought against the four great popes... Heh, the one named Goron is a powerful 'three-headed church', and it doesn't matter if he claims to be the pope... The other three are actually the most powerful." The strongest one is Sequence 5, and dare to be called Pope? Doesn't the 'True Creator' have a card? Is this actually 'blasphemy'?
"Well, those people should have heard the ravings of the 'True Creator' before forwarding the letter... Maybe each of them heard different content and teachings, so they established their own sects? No wonder a small floating In the empty city, four churches of the 'True Creator' are to be built...they may still accuse each other of heresy.
"'Mechanical Emperor' Lucien Evans...the 'I' in the past was really grabbing a book on arcane arts! Fortunately, I didn't call 'Floating Void City' 'Alinge'... ...
"However, 'I' was a little unlucky in my old age, and at the end of my life, I encountered an energy core explosion during mechanical transformation... After the 'Morning Star City' for more than two hundred years, countless mechanical transformations failed. Such an accident happened... No wonder so many people still suspect that it was the assassination of the "True Creator" believers... Although "my" friends and students have clarified after the accident investigation restarted a hundred years ago.
"Prophecy... the morning star shines, and the disaster is far away...
"This is the prediction that the 'I' will come again before I die, right?
"As for the shining of the morning star... Could it be that my arrival triggered some kind of preset mechanism?
"It doesn't seem to be, I remember that it just changed to 1 after I unsealed the 'Gear Book'...
"Speaking of which, what is going on with this floating city? What is the state of the people inside? Little 'Sun' has clearly told me that the real 'Morning Star City' has crashed outside the real afternoon town. "
Abner read the information, complained, and thought, and soon turned his attention to the statue of the "Machine Emperor" in front of the tower.
Klein visited the Floating Void City imitated by Master Klaus in Nas before, and described the main facilities there in detail to him, but he did not mention this statue...
It shows that this was built after the floating city fell into the nightmare town, and the existence that left a dream in the sea area of the relics of God Wars to guide Master Klaus to imitate did not know this situation.
Of course, this alone is not worthy of Abner's attention. The reason why he is curious about the statue is because the other party gave him some familiar feelings... That kind of feeling is like facing Abner. "Wanderer" Alvin Abraham, "God of Luck", and the Sealed Artifact "1-025" felt very similar.
Seriously looking at the three-meter-high statue in red armor with metallic luster and a full-coverage helmet on its head, Abner couldn't help thinking:
"It's not so much a statue, it's actually a well-made full-body costume with good-looking materials!
"And the yellow gem on the top of the helmet... If I'm not mistaken, it should be an Extraordinary item made of direct Extraordinary characteristics and softening of some items!
"This statue, no, this mech itself is a powerful and extraordinary weapon!
"No wonder those who watched me didn't care that I came near this statue... After all, in their view, this is the safest place for them.
"But...is that really the case?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Abner's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and then he directly used the secret technique of manipulating the "Bone Dragon" loaded in the "Necronomicon", making the three-meter-high mecha squat down , stretched out his palm, and lifted himself up.
——Because of the brief experience of manipulating the body of Alvin Abraham, Abner is already quite proficient in this, and in addition, they are both themselves, and they are in the same spirit, and there is no need for attunement, so this kind of manipulation is far inferior to The secret technique of "cloning" is not perfect, but the basic movements can still be made.
At the same time, Abner also appeared, holding up the "Gear Book".
The residents of "Morning Star City" who gathered in front of the statue saw this scene ~IndoMTL.com~ After being shocked, they didn't know who took the lead, but they bowed and saluted together, shouting out the prophecy one after another:
"The morning star must shine, and the disaster will be far away...
"Great Emperor, are you back?"
Because of the different sounding devices, electronic sounds, vibrating sounds, etc. sounded in a mess for a while.
At this time, the three members of the highest jury in the office on the seventh floor of the tower couldn't sit still anymore. Almost instantly, the three of them used their own means to descend from the sky and came to the statue.
They originally wanted to wait and see what the uninvited guest was going to do, and they had better figure out the cards... But now, seeing his preaching posture, they had to come forward to stop him.
With a buzzing sound, the black mech male jammer temporarily disrupted the sound-generating devices and listening devices of other people present, and only let his own electronic speaker sound: "Your Excellency, who are you? What do you want to do?"
"I am an apostle of God..."
Abner looked at the three power holders who seemed unusual at first glance, and replied with a smile.
