~13 min read 2,408 words

"What is that?" The massive white spherical body attracted everyone's attention. Most people hadn't yet recovered from the shock of Li Yu's resurrection.

Naturally, they didn't know what "Theft of Faith" was, not even Hunter or Hannes.

But they knew those blood-red things definitely didn't belong to Li Yu, yet were now being intercepted by him.

"Is this your goal?" Hunter murmured in his heart. Li Yu had plotted for so long, and his goal was actually those blood-colored things.

No matter how stupid Hannes was, he had guessed it by now. Li Yu's reluctance to leave was definitely not for some empty fame like "Merit" or "Saving Survivors".

His expression was Moody, secretly cursing himself for being an idiot, only just now reacting to it.

Staring at that pure white, massive mechanical sphere, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose.

"Seems like I've seen it somewhere..."

Only Gober didn't care about any other events. He only knew that Li Yu was still alive and that there was hope for the Hengfeng System, and that was enough.

Although he possessed A-grade Mental Power, his frontal combat power still couldn't compare to Rohan's. The 【Apostle】 was his ultimate trump card.

And only by becoming an A-grade Mental Power possessor could one control this combat mecha.

"【Apostle】!?" Rohan's expression changed slightly. As an Upper Subordinate God of the Nightmare Knight, he naturally knew of this powerful combat weapon from the Titans.

However, even he, in his long life as a Divine Spirit, had rarely seen this kind of combat weapon.

"Is this your trump card?" Rohan's right hand abruptly expanded. A massive amount of flesh and blood extended out of thin air, and a giant flesh-and-blood fist comparable to a mountain range smashed toward the pure white sphere.

Bang!

A muffled sound accompanied by wave-like ripples. A hurricane swept across the entire battlefield. Hunter dragged Gober and hurriedly hid behind Hannes.

Waves rippled on the surface of the pure white sphere, but it remained completely motionless, forcefully enduring this strike!

Not only that, the next moment, the pure white sphere surged with pale golden Electric Arcs. The liquid flow rate on the surface suddenly accelerated, beginning to change form.

The white sphere extended massive Mechanical Arms and thighs. The mechanical structure and white particles continuously blended, ultimately completely transforming into a humanoid construct.

Its solemn facial features were actually somewhat similar to Li Yu's. A Crystal was embedded in its forehead, no longer transparent but pale gold, indicating it already had a controller.

"This... this is..."

Under the shocked gazes of countless people, a massive humanoid entity reaching to the heavens appeared in the distance, its size incredibly astonishing.

Two massive pure white wings spread open. Every metal feather was engraved with complex golden patterns, and the precise mechanical structures gradually closed.

The 【Apostle】's hands spread open, the wings on its back vibrating slightly, and immediately a strong aura of majesty emanated, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

"Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

"Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

"..."

A massive number of Transformers knelt on one knee, expressing their highest reverence towards their sole Creator.

Even many soldiers in the Shelter knelt down along with them. Hunter was dumbfounded; it's actually... the 【Apostle】!

It's actually the 【Apostle】!

Equally surprised was Hannes. The difference was that his surprise was accompanied by excitement.

So that's how it is. The last 【Apostle】 from the Ordos System was actually obtained by Li Yu, yet the battle report stated it was obtained by the Star Glory Empire.

Li Yu is completely Hoarding. Isn't this a ready-made Handle? As long as he grasps this Handle, Li Yu won't be able to threaten him at all in the future.

Hannes pulled out an old piece of Communication Equipment from his chest. This was the only surviving item he found deep in the Shelter that hadn't been turned into a bizarre Mechanical Body.

It was used to contact his Subordinates remotely.

"...All Patrol Fleet soldiers listen to my command, find a way to record this battle!" Hannes commanded excitedly.

What he didn't notice was Hunter, not far behind him, casting a profound gaze.

.........

Inside the 【Apostle】, Li Yu's physical senses extended to every corner of the 【Apostle】's Corporeal Form, wielding it like an extension of his own arm, as if this was his original body.

"This feeling isn't bad."

Although it wasn't Li Yu's first time merging into the 【Apostle】, the last time he went limp right after entering and didn't really get to enjoy it.

But this time, he could experience a completely different sensation. Under A-grade Mental Power, he could control the entire 【Apostle】; going all out was no problem.

The 【Apostle】 lowered its head that reached the clouds, looking down at the Earth. Its line of sight pierced through layers of Blood Mist, locking onto the incredibly minuscule Corrupt God.

The left hand raised and smashed down heavily, like a palm technique descending from heaven.

The edge of the palm rubbed against the air to produce roaring flames. The shadow covered a large area, occupying all of Rohan's line of sight.

Rumble——

The sound of breaking air roared, the momentum like the heavens falling!

Rohan raised his head. This feeling of being looked down upon raised a long-lost anger in his heart.

Blood light burst from the Divine Spirit's eyes. Endless twisted flesh and blood surged from his arms, pushing fiercely towards the sky!

Buzz!!

Centered on Rohan's palms, a blood-colored millstone hundreds of meters in diameter popped out horizontally and expanded with a boom.

It transformed into a thick flesh-and-blood pillar dozens of meters in caliber, shooting swiftly towards the rapidly descending palm of the 【Apostle】!

Dark red blood light wrapped around the flesh-and-blood pillar and ascended, so thick it seemed about to liquefy. The fusion of the two possessed incredibly powerful Strength.

Crack, crack——

A large number of mechanical parts moved on the 【Apostle】's palm, transforming rapidly. A huge, dark Energy Cannon Port emerged in the center of its palm and rapidly began charging.

A thick golden Light Beam shot out from the cannon port in the blink of an eye!

Bang!!

A hurricane sweeping everything abruptly rose. The golden Shockwave expanded rapidly. The clouds were churned apart, and the ground was lifted!

The golden energy ripples generated by this Shockwave were visibly clear.

The massive explosion energy cluster expanded, blowing apart a large amount of flesh and blood, scattering it everywhere.

Blazing red patches appeared on the surface of the 【Apostle】's palm; those were Rohan's flesh and blood fragments.

However, the 【Apostle】's palm didn't stop at all, continuing to press down, as if smashing down while holding an explosive light cluster!

A massive amount of flesh and blood continuously surged from Rohan's body. Viscous blood poured down like a torrential rain, and the muscle fibers on the surface continuously tore apart.

Yet Rohan seemed to feel no pain. His eyes stared fixedly at the rapidly expanding 【Apostle】 palm in his line of sight, as if wanting to face it head-on and resist the downward pressing palm!

The flesh-and-blood millstone was quickly compressed, and the 【Apostle】's palm finally slammed into the ground.

At this moment, Rohan's line of sight was left with only a vast whiteness.

Bang!!

The 【Apostle】's palm smashed heavily into the ground, continuously penetrating deep into the Earth, forming a massive palm print.

Cracks split open on the Earth, radiating dazzling light. In the next moment, a massive mushroom cloud rose, the ground trembled unceasingly, and the cracks continuously expanded.

The Energy Shockwave swept past. Fortunately, the Shelter was relatively far from the battle location and was protected by the warships' Shields, so it didn't suffer much damage.

The massive number of soldiers couldn't clearly see the specific battle, but that didn't stop them from Overthinking this world-destroying commotion. Countless people instinctively trembled before this terrifying scene.

This explosion also affected the 【Apostle】, but a pale golden Protective Shield appeared around its body, and the energy explosion completely failed to cause any damage to it.

Many corrupt Believers couldn't help but swallow hard, craning their necks to look for traces of Rohan.

"Where is God?"

"Where is God?"

"..."

They trembled all over, carrying fear and hesitation. Seeing the Divine Spirit they worshipped beaten to death with their own eyes, their Faith seemed to have a tendency to collapse.

"Those with weak Faith should all die!" Yuno reached out his hand, and several trembling Believers were yanked into flesh-and-blood fragments, merging into his body.

"God... will absolutely never be defeated!" His expression was fanatical and resolute.

At this time, the battlefield had turned into a massive expanse of Ruins. Magma continuously surged out. Li Yu glanced around but didn't find any traces of Rohan.

It looked like just a single slap down, but in reality, this strike contained massive damage.

The Energy Engine equipped with the 【Apostle】 was extremely advanced. The energy characteristics contained powerful lethality, along with the damage from a large number of shockwave devices equipped on the palm.

Moreover, the strength was even more astonishing, so the power of this strike was extremely terrifying.

Li Yu was looking for traces of the Corrupt God when suddenly, an anomaly came from the left leg of the 【Apostle】, as if it had sunk into a quagmire, accompanied by a bizarre stinging sensation.

"He actually attached to the surface of the 【Apostle】, wanting to use this method to hinder me and make me unable to attack?"

Looking from a distance, one could clearly see that a layer of flesh-and-blood membrane covered the left ankle of the 【Apostle】, continuously blowing blood bubbles that then popped.

The dripping viscous blood fell to the ground and raised light smoke, unexpectedly corroding large holes in the ground, and continuously corroding deep underground.

The Rotting Flesh even continued to extend along the 【Apostle】's thigh, seeming to want to wrap the entire 【Apostle】 within.

This was indeed a correct tactic. Attaching to the 【Apostle】 meant that if the 【Apostle】 attacked it, it would be attacking itself.

Moreover, the Rotting Flesh he transformed into was extremely corrosive. As long as there was enough time, even against the 【Apostle】, he had confidence.

...

The flesh-and-blood membrane struggled to spread upwards, but right at this moment, the structure of the 【Apostle】's leg rapidly deformed and unfolded.

Micro-【Apostle】 Robots quickly assembled, like cleaning robots, holding various Energy Weapons, clearing the Rotting Flesh attached to the 【Apostle】 inch by inch.

Rohan wasn't surprised. A large number of tentacles extended from the Rotting Flesh, wrapping around those micro-【Apostle】 Robots. Blood light lit up, wanting to directly crush those Robots.

But the next moment, those micro-robots simultaneously turned into white liquid and returned to the 【Apostle】.

Immediately after, the structures around the leg changed again, turning into different Mechanical Restraints.

Electromagnetic reflection, molecular oscillation, sonic resonance, and various other devices were released simultaneously, all acting upon that patch of Rotting Flesh.

Large swaths of Rotting Flesh were immediately forced to detach. Various advanced oscillation devices were precisely the greatest nemesis of such attachments.

But Rohan was a powerful veteran Divine Spirit after all. When one attempt failed, he wasn't discouraged. The detached Rotting Flesh quickly re-condensed.

At the same time, Energy Cannon Ports appeared in all directions, all aimed at Rohan. Without a second word, a barrage of focused fire rained down, all hitting Rohan's body.

The energy exploded. Although it didn't cause him much damage, it was extremely insulting.

"Get lost!"

Rumble——

Endless flesh and blood sprayed out, like a powerful energy cannon bombardment, briefly forming an energy vacuum around him.

In the next moment, a massive amount of flesh and blood retracted again, quickly forming another massive lifeform on the spot, not much smaller than the 【Apostle】.

Its entire body was condensed from flesh and blood, without skin or facial features, only a rough humanoid appearance, and its entire body swayed slightly.

This massive flesh-and-blood condensed entity didn't pause at all. A massive fist smashed directly towards the 【Apostle】.

Flesh and blood giant battles mechanical 【Apostle】!

Li Yu's expression looked slightly excited, which was also reflected on the 【Apostle】's face.

The mechanical right hand raised... the shoulder and elbow split open, and a jet flame over ten meters long provided Li Yu with powerful propulsion.

But right at the moment the two fists, comparable to small hills, made contact.

The giant flesh-and-blood fist suddenly exploded, turning into endless blood-colored tentacles that quickly wrapped around the 【Apostle】's right arm and began to spread.

Bang!

Blood light burst out, surging Shockwaves erupted, countless parts were blown away, and the 【Apostle】's right arm was severed at the elbow!

The massive flesh-and-blood condensed entity was also blasted back, but when Rohan's gaze swept over this scene, his spirits instantly lifted.

However, before he could get excited, white liquid suddenly shot out from the edge of the severed 【Apostle】's right arm.

Like a spider web, it stuck to the 【Apostle】's shoulder and pulled violently. A large amount of finely broken parts also turned into white liquid and reintegrated into the 【Apostle】's body.

In the next moment, the 【Apostle】's right arm reformed, recovering to its original state.

Rohan frowned deeply.

"You underestimate the combat weapons forged by the Titans too much..." Li Yu took a deep breath. The 【Apostle】's title as an anti-ship combat weapon wasn't designated by the Titans.

Rather, it was given by the current civilizations. This all-around combat mecha was simply too formidable, possessing powerful endurance and lethality.

As for what kind of enemies this weapon faced during the Titan era, no one knows.

Unless the control core is shattered and the Energy Engine destroyed, it's difficult to completely destroy the 【Apostle】.

The only drawback is that the pilot must possess A-grade Mental Power, and that's just the minimum standard.

Therefore, Li Yu said Rohan underestimated the 【Apostle】 too much. In fact, not only Rohan, even Li Yu... underestimated this combat weapon.

Li Yu glanced at the combat information. Amidst the surprise, there was also excitement, "I didn't expect it could still do this..."

"【Apostle】––Asura Form!"

A massive roar sounded. The 【Apostle】's powerful Energy Engine operated. Behind his back... eight thick Mechanical Arms extended, forming three heads, and nine massive Golden Nano-Spheres orbited around him.

That's right, the 【Apostle】 and the 【Titan Colonization Armor】 had some kind of connection; the two could perform a dream synergy! As long as there was an energy supply!
