Chapter 87: Chapter 86 Deity and Epics Chapter 87: Chapter 86 Deity and Epics “Haha, the name I gave it is Sky Mechanical City, little guy.” Just as Muria was snarking, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. A powerful force beyond resistance acted upon Muria and the familiar sensation of spatial alteration was transmitted to him.
Muria kept a poker face, trying not to appear flustered. He looked around uneasily until catching sight of Ansol, which quickly calmed him down.
“Lord Osiris.” Under Muria’s gaze, Ansol respectfully saluted a towering Titan who was assembling a machine. Seeing his father do this, Muria followed suit with a bow of his own.
“Big shot,” Muria concluded as he assessed the Titan. The Titan was even more massive than Muria’s grandfather, and this big shot was standing on a huge, complex, three-dimensional magical array, assembling mechanical parts that were emanating unsettling tremors.
What Muria saw before his eyes filled him with awe, especially considering that the twenty metal streams formed by battleships he’d seen earlier all belonged to this big shot.
“No need for formalities.” Epic Titan Osiris, who had just finished assembling the weapon in his hands, turned around with a smile on his face and looked at Muria. “Muria, son of Titan and Dragon, we’ve met before, remember?”
Hearing the familiar tone of the big shot, Muria was taken aback. He forcefully shifted his gaze away from the weapon that had been assembled. It was a huge firearm nearly 300 meters long, engraved with complicated and gorgeous magic patterns. When it took shape, it had drawn Muria’s eyes tightly to it.
But when the big shot spoke, you had to pay attention. After Muria tore his eyes away from the firearm, he gave some thought before reacting. He remembered that during his grandfather Dimos’ visit, a Titan named Osiris had intervened once, based on the conversation at that time. So, it must be the current big shot.
“Remember now?” Osiris raised an eyebrow seeing Muria’s sudden realization.
“I remember it now.” Muria smiled sheepishly, somewhat uncertain. “Mechanism Emperor, were you the one who fought my grandfather?”
“Yes, that was me.” Osiris chuckled like a friendly next-door neighbor, apart from being somewhat larger.
The seemingly easygoing Mechanism Emperor gave Muria a bit of courage. Despite him seemingly more powerful than his grandfather Akmonde.
“Mechanism Emperor, may I ask you some questions?”
“What do you want to ask?”
“Are all those mechanical devices out there yours?”
“Of course they’re mine.”
“Then…” slightly hesitating, Muria asked the question he had been wanting to ask since seeing the metal continent: “How did you build this Sky Mechanical City?”
Muria’s grandfather, Akmonde, had used the power of an Epic Titan to open up a semi-plane with incomplete rules, which he could understand. But this Sky Mechanical City was not merely the product of great strength. It required the core knowledge of a civilization in the space age as a foundation for construction.
“This mechanical city.” Mechanism Emperor Osiris reached out to touch the magic pattern-filled metal wall, “was built for me by a civilization called Ya Heng, in gratitude for my help. They devoted all their manpower and material resources, spending a century to complete it.”
“When I first received this Sky City, I was not satisfied. So, I remodelled the city, and it has developed continuously, eventually reaching its current scale.”
“This…” After hearing the Mechanism Emperor’s words, another question arose in Muria’s mind. What had Mechanism Emperor Osiris done to receive such an extraordinary gift from a civilization that emphasized technological development and had a high demand for resources? He couldn’t imagine what would make a civilization pay such a high price to thank a powerful outsider.
“Mechanism Emperor, what did you do for Ya Heng civilization?” Muria asked cautiously. He couldn’t quite imagine what could have made a space civilization pay such a huge price to express gratitude to a powerful alien life form.
“I saved the Ya Heng civilization and saved their world from extinction.” Osiris explained casually to Muria, downplaying his past achievements. “Ya Heng civilization was a race that was completely reliant on external things. For some reason, their world attracted the attention of several Evil Gods wandering in the Void.
Subsequently, they were invaded by these Evil Gods. The weaponry of Ya Heng civilization was powerful, once successfully resisting the invasion of Evil God’s followers, causing heavy losses to the gods. But when the Evil Gods showed themselves, the Ya Heng people, due to their inherently weak nature, could not even look directly at the Gods’ bodies.
Anyone from Ya Heng who stared at the body of an Evil God would be polluted and distorted by the god’s power, becoming their minions. In the face of the Evil Gods’ actions, the people of Ya Heng kept losing ground. Their world was on the verge of destruction.
At that time, I happened to receive a distress signal from their world. So, I took my legion of followers to that world and helped them resist the invasion of Evil Gods.”
