◈ Episode 620: Creation of the Giant (3)
The sudden appearance of the wolf caused a small ripple on the battlefield.
“A wolf? “I’m not seeing anything wrong right now, am I?”
“Did animals live on this island?”
Isla Machina is an island made up of machines, but that doesn’t mean beasts don’t live there.
But even then, there were only crows, birds, cats, and rats.
Wolves over 3 meters in size have never been seen on this island and are not suitable for living there.
“No, I’ve never seen or heard of a wolf like that.”
Ordinary wolves do not fly in the sky in the first place.
The color of its fur is not a clear sky blue color, nor does it emit a strange aura from its entire body.
And above all, there has never been a case where there were as many as 50 wolves that looked the same.
Oooh.
As the howl of a wolf rang out, sea fog that had been pushed far away flew in with the wind and covered the surrounding area.
The sight of bluish wolves running through the air through blurred vision was like something you would see in a cemetery on a midsummer night.
“Youngsu?”
Andrasche, who was able to observe the wolf up close, realized that the wolf that saved him was Yeongsu.
So I didn’t understand.
‘Why on earth is Youngsoo in Isla Machina?’
Wasn’t it known that Mother Nature lives and breathes and only lives in places that are not easily touched by humans?
But a spirit who has no contact with humans saves him in a moment of crisis.
‘I don’t know what happened, but I’m sure Youngsu is on our side.’
Andrasche decided to do what he could.
He mobilized all his hands, even the mouths of his hands, and continued to spread his words across the battlefield.
[Everyone calm down]
The terrified wizards regained their senses one by one.
Prayers stopped and faith disappeared.
The third halo that rose above the head of the God of Mechanical Devices faded and disappeared without a trace.
The moment Andrasche was happy that he had given the monster a good blow, the God of Mechanical Devices gazed at Andrasche.
A huge force fired immediately afterward.
Although it was vaguely obscured by fog, it casually aimed at Andrashu as if nothing had happened to this extent.
Aww!
In the distance, another wolf howled.
The wolf spirit beast that was holding Andrashu kicked in the air and ran through the sea fog like the wind.
Wow!
A huge invisible repulsive force struck the sea fog and created a huge tunnel-like hole.
It is powerful enough to not only pierce the sea fog, but even tear apart some of the clouds in the sky.
However, they could not catch the wolf that ran away with Andrasche in its mouth.
The wolves wandered around dazzlingly and besieged the God of Mechanical Devices.
The God of Mechanical Devices watched the blue wisp-like wolves with the golden glow inside his helmet burning even more intensely.
Ludger was also secretly surprised by the sudden appearance of Youngsu.
What’s even more special is that the person who dragged the young man in was a familiar face.
“Freuden Ulburg.”
Ludger stared at the spirit beast that appeared stepping through the air and Freuden riding on its back.
The gazes of the two people collided in the air.
There were many things they wanted to ask each other, but no one asked the question first.
Still, since this was the one who received help, Ludger spoke first.
“You made a good friend.”
“But it looks like you made a new friend here too.”
“We became friends while fighting.”
“Can I take that guy down?”
“If possible.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to do what I can.”
“Do it while taking care of yourself.”
“I was already thinking of doing that.”
“Oh, and before you go, ask your friend for one tooth.”
Why the teeth?
Freuden looked at me with a puzzled look, but the question could not be continued.
This is because the god of the mechanical device that was interrupted showed his irritated emotions and generated strong energy waves.
Pieces of steel gathered around like black clouds and moved faster with the force of a storm.
Kwasik!
It was then that a wolf spirit beast bit the back of Gishin’s neck.
“…?”
The wolf’s teeth could not pierce the armor of the God of Mechanical Devices, but they were enough to sow confusion.
Gishin stretched out his arm and tried to catch the wolf that bit the back of its neck.
The wolf dispersed like a mirage and disappeared as if mocking the god of machinery.
what? how?
The moment the God of Mechanical Devices had a question, the wolf attacked from behind again.
But this time I reacted properly.
The mechanical god rotated his body and swung his arms, attempting to cut the approaching wolf in half.
However, the wolf spirit just dispersed and disappeared like a mirage.
Arms cutting through the air.
The wind passes over my body as if teasing me.
Only then did the god of mechanical devices become enlightened.
These guys can appear anywhere there is air.
No matter how tightly you scatter the steel pieces around, it is impossible to cover the entire surface with dots.
No matter how much steel there is and how sharp it is, it cannot cut the wind.
It was a fight that had no choice but to be at a disadvantage.
Perhaps because he knew this, the wolf spirit continued to repeatedly hit and run away from the mechanical god.
A hunting method in which a group engages in wheel-to-wheel combat over a single prey.
Flash!
The God of Mechanical Devices fired his eye light, but the wolf pack easily dodged it, as if laughing at it.
“Kaaaa!”
The god of machinery roared in anger and gathered the metals into a single form.
It had four wings and was commonly called an airscrew.
The only difference was that its wings alone were over 20m long.
Huh. Huh.
The airscrew started rotating.
The rotation speed suddenly accelerated to the point where the wings were no longer visible.
A huge air screw with a single blade of over 20 meters rotated at an invisible speed, creating a vortex around it.
The god of machinery targeted the wolf spirit beast using steel at the center of the vortex.
The wolf spirit beast that tried to disappear by turning into the wind could not withstand the power of the whirlpool and its wind transformation was canceled.
Puff poop!
Immediately after that, sharp steel spears struck the wolf spirit beast’s body one after another.
Wow!
In the swirling storm, the wolf spirit lost his strength.
The God of Mechanical Devices, who had neutralized the wolf spirit that had been bothering him the most, looked at Ludger again, recalling his original goal.
Ludger gazed calmly into golden eyes that were burning with hostility.
The guy didn’t say anything, but his will was conveyed right through my skin.
Hatred and anger.
But at the same time, I also felt a feeling of joy.
“The idea is that you can escape from the Creator and become a new Creator yourself.”
Ludger’s words hit the mechanical god straight to the point.
Ludger sneered at the God of Mechanical Devices, who flinched.
“It’s really a similar goal, isn’t it?”
“You bastard!”
The God of Mechanical Devices glared at Ludger with intense anger.
A god who created himself and ultimately abandoned himself.
How huge was the sense of betrayal I felt when I found out that the person I thought had completely disappeared was still attached to Ludger.
Such was the anger of a child abandoned by his father.
Eight arms gathered around the god of machinery.
It didn’t stop there, and each of the eight arms was trying to create another arm.
Ludger saw that and responded with a cold gaze.
“You hate the father who abandoned you, but the image you are trying to adopt is ultimately trying to resemble him.”
“…!”
Ludger’s words were correct.
Giant arms created by the God of Mechanical Devices.
It was very similar to Terraron, the titan who shaped the world.
This is because it is known that the giant Terraron created the world by caressing it with a total of 16 arms.
“At this point, I am no different from a crooked child who did not receive affection from my father.”
“shut up!”
The god of mechanism immediately gave up on creating a new arm.
Instead, it moved eight mechanical arms and targeted Ludger from eight directions.
Ludger also did not suffer quietly.
Sephiroth’s tree symbol appeared behind him, emitting a powerful light, and attempted to intercept the mechanical arm.
Light and shock waves flashing in the air.
People who saw this were distracted, but did not forget their work.
“What are they doing! “Keep attacking!”
“If we don’t stop that monster, this island is over!”
Magical bombardment came from outside, the spirit wolf wandered around endlessly, and support continued to flow from the Magic Tower.
However, despite attacks coming from all directions, the God of Mechanical Devices did not flinch.
Annoying guys.
Multiple arms scattered in all directions, blocking the incoming attacks and sweeping away the surrounding area, causing enormous destruction.
Several lives were extinguished with a single gesture.
With a single gesture, the shield of the Magic Tower shattered like a glass window.
Part of the magic tower collapsed and the wizards inside were swept away.
While the mechanical arms were searching the surroundings, the main body of the God of Mechanical Devices confronted Ludger.
“Are you coming to me in that proud form? “I’m so thankful that I’m on the verge of tears.”
Whether Ludger laughed like that or not, the gaze of the God of Mechanical Devices was focused on the small black hole above Ludger’s head.
‘It won’t be easy.’
If the other person had been a normal creature, he might have borrowed the power of the goddess with a bit of pressure.
However, as its name suggests, it is a machine, and its main body was a relic made by Terraron.
Ludger had to worry because she was the polar opposite of a goddess who exerted power and authority over living things.
[────.]
It was then that a voice came from above Ludger’s head.
Terraron told Ludger that there was a way.
Naturally, the method was to use Terraron’s own power.
“Was that the real purpose?”
Ludgar frowned at Terraron’s actions.
However, if you think rationally, it was right to borrow Terraron’s power.
It was Terraron who created the relic, and of course it was Terraron who knew how to stop it.
Terraron had no particular dark intentions or malice.
Until now, even when other gods showed interest in Ludger, Terraron was the one who just watched quietly.
He made this suggestion in the sincere hope that Ludger would stop Relic.
Ludger didn’t know that either.
Nevertheless, the hesitation was due to another reason.
“Your power is not worth the cost. “If you want to use your power, you have to make the door wider than it is now.”
When Ludger borrowed the power of God, he always lifted only the first stage of the sealing technique.
Because that was exactly the level that Ludger could handle.
When the first stage seal is lifted, all that appears is a small hole above the head like now.
That alone was enough to exert power.
But Terraron was different.
Each god has different types of power.
Among them, Terraron was so powerful that it lived up to its nickname, Titan.
The reason was that even though the first stage of the seal was lifted, all we could do was exchange conversations.
In order to borrow Terraron’s power in earnest, Ludger had to unlock the second stage, which required taking risks.
Ludger could see people doing their best to fight against the mechanical arm.
Freuden was seen riding a spirit beast, and Roteron and Whiron were seen working hard to save people.
We also saw Berom fighting wearing the Living Armor that he hated so much, and Andrasche trying to protect the Magic Tower by revealing all of his strengths.
There were many other people fighting.
The National Guard came out to evacuate people and do rescue work, and the wizards of the Magic Tower did their best to cast magic.
Cravat was also seen.
Accompanied by a crow, he melted or corroded metals with the power of a black curse and held on to one mechanical arm.
Ahead of the end of Isla Machina, the organizations that had been keeping each other in check were fighting as one.
And even Gariel Cosmo, who is fighting somewhere out of sight.
“….”
Everyone is fighting as hard as they can with their own determination and determination.
In a situation like this, there was no way Ludger could keep his strength to himself.
The moment of worry was short.
“I can’t help it.”
Jiyiing.
A faint halo was created around the black hole above Ludger’s head.
“Lifting the second sealing technique.”
Tooung!
The halo emitted intense light and created waves around it.
The god of mechanical devices could only watch in silence, as if he was oppressed by something.
“Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.”
The number of voices and gazes heading this way increases through the black hole.
-You have thus become even more omnipotent.
At the same time, various powers permeated Ludger’s body, and a feeling of inspiration enveloped his entire body.
The power of God was like a strong drug.
It’s like honey candy that is so sweet that once you taste it, you can never escape it again.
So Ludger didn’t like this.
“I’m not borrowing your strength. You’re using my strength.”
Ludgar lightly scolded the gods who were trying to think nonsense and then spoke to Terraron.
“Now that you’ve come this far, show me the key that will make that mischievous kid stop.”
As if responding to Ludger’s words, something suddenly popped out from the gap in the black hole.
It was a small mechanical arm.
Unlike the mechanical arms handled by the God of Mechanical Devices, this mechanical arm was extremely skinny and rusty in places, with only the internal frame remaining.
The arm, which looked as if it would break at the slightest blow, was more different than that of a strong adult man and an old man compared to the one possessed by the God of Mechanical Devices.
“…!”
The God of Mechanical Devices, who only showed anger, opened his mouth as if he couldn’t believe it.
The emotion shown by the guy who unconsciously took a step back and widened the distance from Ludger was clear fear.
