Su Yu let out a chuckle, then turned around and flew back the way he came.
He needed to return to the Mechanical City to prepare for the impending battle three months later.
Of course, Su Yu did not use the same speed as before on his return; otherwise, it would have caused too much commotion.
As he flew, he watched the clouds.
He noticed that the tentacles belonging to the Brutal Evil God hidden in the clouds had become more active than before.
Moreover, they were becoming more active by the moment.
If more time passed, even ordinary people on the ground might be able to see these tentacles.
Su Yu’s heart sank, knowing that the time was drawing closer to the Brutal Evil God’s emergence from confinement.
"I must quickly enhance my power to face the upcoming battle!"
"And also, gather all surviving humans worldwide into the Mechanical City, or they might go mad if they see the Brutal Evil God in person."
Su Yu thought to himself.
Ordinary people did not possess his ability to view the Brutal Evil God’s true form.
An ordinary person would mutate grotesquely just from a glance, even a mere whiff of its presence.
Either they die or transform into a monster or Ghost Demon.
The term ’ordinary people’ here did not just refer to humans but included Transcendents below the seventh star level!
In other words, once the Brutal Evil God awakens and reveals itself, every life below the seventh star on the planet would instantly perish or mutate!
Even Transcendents above the seventh star could suffer from erosion if they weren’t strong enough.
This was the true terror of the Great Evil God!
Though Su Yu didn’t know when the Brutal Evil God would awaken, he had to be prepared.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a battle as the brutality could leave Su Yu as the only survivor.
With these thoughts in mind, Su Yu flew swiftly to the Mechanical City.
As he flew, he exerted great effort to control his power, trying to maintain speed without triggering a terrifying shockwave.
Ultimately, through his efforts, he managed to barely maintain flight at a hundred times the speed of sound without causing intense disturbances.
To sustain such speed within the atmosphere without causing disruptions showed Su Yu’s formidable control.
And this wasn’t even his limit; once he studied thoroughly and crafted corresponding Mechanical Creations, he might even improve further.
Within the short few minutes of the journey back, Su Yu’s control over his power improved once again.
This was Su Yu, always pondering how to enhance his strength.
...
Before long, Su Yu had returned to the Mechanical City.
At this time, the Mechanical City was still covered by a powerful Spiritual Barrier, and the residents inside were still somewhat in shock.
Tie Long, Xie Yitian, Xiao Shengyin, and others were entertaining those ten Fusion People, though their gazes were somewhat wary.
Su Yu brought back these ten powerful Fusion People and, after a brief handover, left them, handing off the entertainment of the ten to Tie Long and the others.
These ten Fusion People possessed enormous power, capable of fourth-rank combat when donning armor.
And since Su Yu did not introduce their background, it was natural for Tie Long and the others to be cautious.
In a round of awkward conversation, Tie Long and the others found that these ten people seemed distracted and incoherent.
They appeared to be somewhat schizophrenic, constantly switching tones.
Moreover, their gazes were odd, repeatedly glancing towards the inside of the Mechanical City as if trying to see something.
"Who are these ten strange individuals? Su Yu left, so if these ten Fusion People start trouble, what do we do?"
The more Tie Long and the others talked with these Fusion People, the stranger it felt, even making them break into cold sweat.
Indeed, those Fusion People’s mental states seemed somewhat off.
They... were hungry!
Thanks to advanced technology, the Mechanical City had long eliminated food and clothing concerns.
The entire Mechanical City had numerous restaurants, cafeterias, hotels... in operation.
As a metropolis of millions, such facilities were a given.
Upon arriving in the Mechanical City, these ten Fusion People immediately caught whiffs of delicious aromas wafting around.
These Fusion People, being inherently powerful with keen senses, could not resist the allure of such aromas.
Having consumed recycled synthetic food for millennia, they hadn’t fully quenched their appetite for real food despite having enjoyed a few decent meals since meeting Su Yu.
They had just undergone an exhausting battle, draining them physically and mentally, making them even hungrier now that they had stopped.
Although they had eaten and rested under Su Yu’s arrangement before returning to the Mechanical City, as Fusion People with ten mouths but a million stomachs, they could never be truly sated, not even in a year.
The little food they had eaten only intensified their hunger.
Amidst such tantalizing aromas, these ten Fusion People found themselves increasingly disoriented, with some even blushing and breathing heavily.
All they wanted now was a grand feast to quell their craving for food.
As for Su Yu? At this moment, these Fusion People had endless confidence in Su Yu, not worried about anything happening after his departure.
Their millennia-old arch-enemy, the [King], had already been vanquished by Su Yu.
As for the so-called Ghost Emperor, they had never heard of him; since Su Yu had captured him, he was probably already dead, so why worry?
In fact, during intense battles, a strong fighting spirit or anger could offset such hunger.
But with the combat long over, these Fusion People felt utterly relaxed, allowing their terrifying hunger to take over.
