Chapter 3972

It is not difficult to go to the surroundings of the "Source of Fire" in reality; Xia De can just fly over after opening his eyes.

But he worries that once he lets go of Lei Qianya's hand and goes to the Holy See alone, he will be unable to perceive the location of Lei Qianya's consciousness. As for carrying her body to the Holy See, that is even more impossible.

【You can also let your own consciousness appear in reality in a way similar to a projection.】

"She" suddenly said. The other me is the back of the soul, and even now when Xia De is only in a conscious state, it is still with him.

"How should I do it?"

"She" gave a suggestion:

【Imitate the current form of existence of the witch, use the power in the "Source of Fire" to construct a temporary "life shell." To prevent the twisted life force from affecting your own self, the "Source of Fire" only serves as the projection core, while the "life shell" still relies on your own soul and mental power as the foundation.】

This sounds very complicated, but Xia De inexplicably knows how he should do it. The resonance between the "Source of Fire" and the "Source of Fire" allows him to come into contact with the knowledge of "Flesh Creation" again, and Lei Qianya's current form also gives him a reference.

The faint light of the Red Moon appeared in his heart at some point, and he felt as if he was born knowing how to do this. When he "looked" at his right hand, the "Source of Fire" belonging to the Outlander emerged in the darkness.

Xia De pinched it with the index and middle fingers of both hands and held it against his chest. He meditated on the moon in his heart, and that silver moon was actively dyed red by him.

"Red Moon · Creation."

He followed the attraction of the huge "Source of Fire," letting his own consciousness, which was emitting the light of the Red Moon, be driven by the flame eye in his hand to plunge into it. Thus, the barrier between reality and consciousness was broken, and the witch appeared before his eyes.

Reality, Arcadia region, 【Church of Creation】 Holy See.

The rain fell like silver threads, wrapping the mountain ridge in a layer of hazy water mist. The outline of the Holy See was not blurred by this; instead, it was like a giant beast lurking on the mountain top, occupying the entire highland with a steady posture.

The building complex of the 【Church of Creation】 Holy See covers an area roughly equivalent to the entire Upper City of Arcadia plus half of the Lower City. The internal buildings are mainly made of gray and white stone, and the building complex as a whole spreads out along the longitudinal axis, extending from the starting point of the mountain steps to the sanctuary at the top of the ridge.

Iconic buildings such as the Casting Tower, the Creation Furnace, the Hall of Life, and the Temple of Machinery are clearly visible even from a distance, and the miracle elements rippling above the Holy See can even trigger golden ripples visible to the naked eye.

The layered terrain makes the entire Holy See appear even more towering. At this time, nearly twenty minutes have passed since the loud noise appeared. The Holy See building complex in the rain seems silent, but the colors of various spiritual lights are shining inside.

Abnormal elemental fluctuations are sweeping across the entire region with this place as the center, which causes the clouds above the area where the Holy See is located to present increasingly magnificent twisted colors.

The crazily emerging active mechanical bodies are currently fighting with people in every corner of the Holy See. The rhythmic clicking sound of mechanical life forms moving has become a nightmare-like sound. This not only caught the people investigating in various parts of the Holy See off guard, but the believers of the 【Lady of Creation】 living in the Holy See also had no idea what had happened.

When the loud noise appeared underground, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was in the "Casting Tower" on the east side of the Holy See, and the activation of that tower made of pure metal trapped her inside like a prison.

"Sunlight Spear!"

But the dazzling golden thunder soon shattered the side wall of the tower. Only then did Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, flying in the rain, see that the entire tower had actually stood up.

The wall she shattered quickly recovered itself. Every floor of the thirteen-story tower was changing due to activation. Countless machines with divine spell inscriptions were undergoing self-modification inside. By the time Yin Yi Yi Lu Na threw her next "Sunlight Spear," the tower already possessed at least forty mechanical arms.

Because it was speculated that the "Source of Fire" had been transferred out of the Holy See, no one expected this situation to occur. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na had no time to support others. She spent some effort entangled with the tower, and then received help from Mr. Gareth Sander, the "Thunder's Fury" of the Sun Church.

The exploding thunder struck down from the dark clouds, turning the upper eight floors of the tower into dust, while the lower five floors still wanted to deform and resist, but were firmly suppressed by the Ringed Shushis besieging it on the ground.

And when Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and Mr. Sander went to assist other areas in the Holy See, they found that the people of the 【Church of Creation】 had also been attacked by those activated machines. It seemed that no one was completely unaffected.

"So, who exactly caused this accident?"

Relying on her "Balance" talent, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na immediately sensed that the source of the twisted life force was deep underground in the Holy See after the loud noise appeared. She wanted to go and check the situation, but she supported others several times along the way, so she was constantly delayed.

The dark golden balance is now suspended in the high sky, and the unique power of balance is comprehensively suppressing the riot of the machines. People still fighting are constantly gathering towards Yin Yi Yi Lu Na in the ocean of mechanical life forms. She cannot spare herself to go underground alone now.

Although in Xia De's perception, this "Source of Fire" has inexplicably become much weaker, it is still half of the powerful life force accumulated by some people in the church for seven years, and the energy it contains absolutely cannot be measured simply by numbers.

And once a machine is endowed with a "Fire Seed," when the intensity of the Fire Seed reaches a certain limit, it will also cause these machines to undergo a transformation in essence, and then a change in the metal material itself.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na not only discovered that the shells of these mechanical life forms already had elemental resistance, but also that strange and ancient energy patterns were gradually emerging on the surface of the shells. She even observed that some powerful machines began to transform into human shapes, and faint firelight could be seen at their core.

"Is the story of the transforming machines that Xia De told a long time ago coming true?"

This afternoon, Amelia and Ellie were not in the Holy See; they were arranged to go to the church in the city for investigation. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na did not know if this was also some deliberate arrangement, but she knew that the little unicorn and the pointed-eared elf should be coming soon.

In Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's perception, the "Source of Fire" located deep underground is constantly moving upward, and it is obvious that the Ringed Shushis inside the Holy See are already thinking of ways to restrict the other party.

So after Yin Yi Yi Lu Na discovered that the ground needed her power, she did not try to go deeper underground, but fought on the ground to get more people out of trouble as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the control of the "Source of Fire" later.

After all, this is the Holy See of the 【Church of Creation】. After the initial chaos, as the light of the holy emblem shone on the sky of the Holy See once again, the power of the True God called by the devout believers, together with Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's power, firmly suppressed the activated machines.

No matter how chaotic it is inside, this is after all the base camp of the 【Church of Creation】, one of the True God churches.

In addition to Mr. Gareth Sander, the "Thunder's Fury" of the 【Sun Church】, today, "Red Moon Witch" Daniste, Professor Miller Stewart, the "Iron Punisher" of the 【Success Higher Medical Academy】, and Miss Maria Ingram, the "Nightmare Witch" of the 【Natural Church】, were also investigating at the Holy See.

Although Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was puzzled why none of the three thirteen-ringers of the 【Church of Creation】 themselves appeared, before the "Source of Fire" broke through the ground, she and these four thirteen-ringers had basically cleared the ground battlefield and gathered together.

"I can already feel the existence of the other party."

The people on the ground temporarily ignored the losses caused by the previous battle and quickly cleared the field for the next battle.

The Ringed Shushis below the high ring retreated one after another, the nine-ring and ten-ring Ringed Shushis went to take care of the wounded and maintain the divine rituals of the Holy See, the eleven-ring and twelve-ring Ringed Shushis prepared for battle on the ground, and the Chosen Ones and the thirteen-ringers flew in the air looking at the vibrating ground.

The ground vibrated more and more violently, and before anything actually broke through the ground, the ground presented a crimson color, which meant that some kind of high-heat object was burning the soil.

"It's coming!"

The metal drill bit first broke through the bricks and stones on the ground, and then the ground of the east garden of the church, which had been damaged by the previous battle, bulged, and then a behemoth drilled out.

"My God~"

Everyone present previously thought that some Ringed Shushi was holding the "Source of Fire" and trying to escape from the underground to the ground, but what they saw at this moment was a fifty-meter-high metal golem drilling out of the soil.

The golem was nearly human-shaped, its chest cavity was a hollow steam cabin, steam pipes crisscrossed inside like knotted blood vessels, and pressure gauges trembled slightly on the copper shell. Precision gear sets hung from the crotch, worm gears were wrapped around the waist, and the drive shafts at the joints turned gently with the breeze.

Every inch of armor was engraved with complex spells like star tracks, glowing with a hot gilded luster in the raging fire. The heavy shoulder armor was like two burning mountain peaks, the thick mechanical arm armor was nested layer by layer, and orange-red tongues of fire spat from the joints.

The most eye-catching thing was the huge "Flame Eye" embedded inside its chest. The eye was about five meters high, and the energy of the life fire it emitted caused the metal around the "Source of Fire" to quickly transform into a wheel with strange runes to encompass it, thereby transporting energy to the entire body more efficiently.

"When did our church manufacture this kind of thing... Wait, Mr. Gerald Delong, what are you doing?!"

The ten-ring Copper Crown Bishop of the 【Church of Creation】 who rushed over, the elderly Mr. Watson Widen, asked loudly. Thirteen-ringers usually do not participate in the troublesome administrative work of the church because they have their own things to do, while the "Copper Crown Bishops" are the highest leaders of the 【Church of Creation】 at the secular level.

The thirteen-ringer "Construct Master" Gerald Delong, whose name was mentioned by him, is currently standing on the shoulder of the golem.

The golem was assembled by him directly using small gears. At this moment, the pipes, gears, bearings, worm gears, and other parts inside the golem are pumping the crimson firelight from the huge "Source of Fire" at the core to the whole body of the golem.

In the process of breaking through the ground, the activated golem had already undergone changes because of that "Source of Fire," and at this moment, it was absorbing twisted life energy and still changing further. The metal material, internal structure, and even the energy transmission circuit were evolving, making it closer and closer to a living organism.

The full-power operation of the Source of Fire even turned the life fire, which should not have been in a high-heat state, into physical flames. The firelight illuminated the mountain ridge in the rain, illuminating every face here.
