On the talent panel, the ritual progress of the War Mechanic has now exceeded 50%.
Su Yu already felt that in the Subspace, a solid imprint was rapidly forming.
That imprint is enormous, it’s a city, a battlefield.
The entire battlefield of the City of Heavenly Punishment has been projected into the Subspace, becoming Su Yu’s imprint.
Within that imprint, two vague opposing forces are in a fierce battle.
The entire imprint battlefield is filled with a fervent war intent.
This fervent war intent even spills over from the Subspace into the material world.
"Are these Believers of Heavenly Punishment driven mad by this war intent?"
It turns out these Believers of Heavenly Punishment were driven mad by the war intent of the Subspace Imprint, rendering them fearless of death.
Theoretically, everyone on the battlefield is part of the ritual and is naturally affected by it.
Even Su Yu, if not for the Evil God Origin from the Ghost Hidden Blade, might also be affected at this moment.
Realizing this, Su Yu was suddenly startled.
If the Believers of Heavenly Punishment are affected, will the people in the Mechanical City, who are also participating in the ritual, change as well?
Will these fellows also seek death?
He quickly extended his Spirit to observe the combat personnel of the Mechanical City.
The result showed that although the people of the Mechanical City did not seek death, their state was somewhat abnormal.
Their gaze was determined, eyes filled with fervor, as they continuously operated weapons and launched attacks on the Believers of Heavenly Punishment.
On the surface, these people appear not to have anything abnormal, just a bit more militant.
But if observed carefully, it becomes apparent that their actions are very precise, efficient, like machines.
It’s as if they are no longer human, but some kind of bionic robot.
Evidently, they too were influenced by the power of the ritual.
However, looking at their expressions, they seem not to have lost reason but have become more calm and focused, like machines.
This is indeed different from the side of the Believers of Heavenly Punishment.
"Is this what a War Mechanic is?"
Su Yu thought to himself.
It now seems that the ritual of the War Mechanic has two kinds of influences.
The side of the Believers of Heavenly Punishment is influenced by "war," so they become extremely fervent and are not afraid of death at all.
On the other hand, the side of the Mechanical City is influenced by "mechanics," so these combatants of the Mechanical City have now become like robots.
"This influence seems a bit sinister..."
After figuring all this out, Su Yu frowned slightly.
His first Third Rank profession was the Ghost Hidden Blade, whose essence is an Evil God, with various sinister facets, which is understandable.
He originally thought War Mechanic was a serious Third Rank Extraordinary Profession.
But now, it seems that this War Mechanic is also somewhat unsound.
The ritual was only halfway through before showcasing some kind of corrupting force, affecting everyone on the battlefield.
"Come to think of it, the abilities of Third Rank professions like the Data Ghost, Illusion Wandering Soul... seem to have a sinister feel."
Su Yu recalled all the Third Rank professions he knew.
A detailed analysis revealed that all these Third Rank professions, if you really think about it, are not quite normal.
They all possess some kind of sinister trait.
"It seems at the seven-star level, even normal professions have traits similar to Evil Gods."
Su Yu concluded in his heart.
As long as it’s a seven-star Transcendent or Third Rank profession, regardless of whether it’s proper or not, it’s actually similar to the Evil God.
For example, Xie Yitian’s Data Ghost can directly possess other people’s bodies; such ability might as well be called that of an Evil God.
It’s just that these professions are not as terrifying in their sinister degree as real Evil Gods.
The most important is that becoming an Evil God causes a loss of reason, swayed by extreme emotions.
These Third Rank professions just have terrifying abilities, but their sanity remains normal.
The craziness of the Believers of Heavenly Punishment is not merely the effect of the ritual; they are madmen to start with.
However, the people of the Mechanical City are much more normal.
After understanding all this, Su Yu eased his mind, stopped paying attention to the matter, and focused on watching the battlefield, waiting for the ritual to complete.
At the same time, he sent a signal for the Cavalry Corps to open fire, joining the battle.
Besides war, a War Mechanic naturally needs mechanics as well.
Those Cavalry Corps are purely Mechanical Creations, even though equipped with clones of Mechanical Spirits, but they lack the true human fervent battle will.
Yet, after they joined the fight, a mechanical, cold, and efficient intent coagulated in the Subspace.
Under the influence of this intent, the ten thousand combat personnel of the Mechanical City became even stranger, more like robots.
Surprisingly, many of those combatants were ordinary people, and now, influenced by the ritual, Spiritual Energy began to generate within them.
They seemed to be awakening, becoming Spiritual Users!
However, they were so focused on combat that they didn’t notice this change.
With the involvement of the Cavalry Corps, the progress of the ritual accelerated rapidly.
After all, these Cavalry units were extremely powerful, with combat capabilities above Fourth Rank strength.
If not for Su Yu fearing that killing too quickly might affect the ritual, he would have restrained the Cavalry Corps a bit. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken much time for the Cavalry Corps to slaughter the Believers of Heavenly Punishment completely.
Even so, after not long, the progress of the ritual had already exceeded 90%.
