36. The Book of Ravens

"Huh"

A handful of chopped green onions are tossed into a large pot full of fragrant aroma.

Between the milky white soup, Ganata on a chair licked her lips and grabbed a large spoon, stirring her longing "bone broth" back and forth.

Merlin's big villain stole Muto's bones from her, much to the glutton's annoyance.

But now, I can finally make soup with some other nutritious bones.

Her upturned nose twitched, sniffing the thick fragrance emanating from the cauldron in front of her, she swallowed, and a hint of anticipation flashed in her purple eyes.

Then he grabbed a handful of chopped peppers and threw them into the pot.

To be a foodie who enjoys good food, you must be a good chef at the same time!

Ganata doesn't want to end up in the terrible situation of her own dad who eats everything, she's a girl...

Girls should be more elegant and more decent.

"It's a shame that Steppenwolf's skull was taken away by Merlin."

Lord Gluttony pursed her lips, and she said regretfully:

"And stealing my bones... However, for the sake of the barbecue that I just ate, I will forgive you. ”

"Hey, that robot! Come here, stir the soup for me. ”

Ganata stood in her chair and shouted to a high-level intelligent machine that was busy.

The latter obediently stood up, walked over to Ganata, took the spoon from the glutton's hand, and began to obediently stir the terrible soup for Ganata.

As a guest of the Cult of the Mechanica, Ganata cooks her soup in a house outside of the Temple of Machines.

No one dared to accuse this purple-eyed girl of offending the god of all machines...

The ones who dare to accuse have already been eaten by her with hot sauce.

Eat it in the truest sense of the word.

The hard steel, in Ganata's mouth, was like chocolate.

In addition, Ms. Icarus demanded that all the robots treat Ganata with courtesy, so the originally indignant robots soon became the gluttonous stomach king no longer existed.

Out of sight is pure.

Robots also have a desire to survive.

"That's a lot of bones!"

Ganata scurried out of the room and into a nearby warehouse.

It was originally a place to store the battle-damaged mechanical body, which was to be rebuilt, but now it has become a place for the purple-eyed girl to store her ingredients.

In that warehouse, there were huge piles of white bones, and the flesh on each one was eaten clean.

A delicious and nutritious barbecue had soothed Ganata's restless stomach, and Tun's eating of a Heavenly Father, even though it was only a projection of Heavenly Father's power, also made the purple-eyed girl feel 4.7% full.

After boiling all these bones in front of her into soup and eating them, her satiety can definitely reach more than 5%!

I'm so happy!

Ganata looked at her ingredients, rubbing her still flat belly, and a sense of happiness that she had never felt before filled her mind.

She hadn't eaten so much since she was born!

"Merlin is a great man."

Ganata stroked her hair as she thought:

"I heard that several other Hell Lords have also broken through the Heavenly Father one after another, maybe I should provoke Merlin and let him fight another Heavenly Father, I can also help..."

"Ah, the taste of the Father, what a wonderful thing it is! I really want to eat... I really want to eat... Ah, I can't think about it, I'm hungry again. ”

"I'm getting hungry... Where's my soup? ”

"Is the soup ready?"

———————————

"Smack"

A scrubbed skull was placed on the table, and Merlin looked up to see Glasses Lady holding Steppenwolf's oddly shaped helmet, as if intending to store it.

"Xuanlan said that you haven't had a new collection in your pantry for a long time."

The glasses lady said to Merlin:

"I'm going to send this thing over as proof of your might."

"No need."

Merlin shook his head, and he said:

"I didn't defeat the new Protoss, it was only a projection of his power that came here, it's not a victory, but this metal from a special world is quite interesting."

"Give that helmet and the armor you've collected to Lorna, she might be able to make something interesting."

Raven Lord reached out and picked up the skull in front of him.

He looked into the eyes of those people, and he said:

"This thing is the most valuable, speaking of which, after the battle, has the battlefield been cleaned up?"

"Of course."

The glasses lady put aside the heavy helmet in her hand, she pushed her eyes, and said to Merlin as if she were reporting work:

"The number of intelligent machines damaged in battle has reached the size of 9 legions, but we have enough mechs in reserve, and at most a week, 45 legions will be fully replenished."

"What's worse is that this battle has exposed the problem that the Cult of the Mechanica needs to pay attention to, and the mechs stored in the Horcruxes will lose their 'vitality' with continuous rebirth."

Icarus frowned and said:

"The soul fragments that are contained in the mechs will die, turning them back to a purely data state, and those souls can no longer be rewritten because of the mixture of too much emotional data that cannot be encoded."

"As long as their data is broken again, it will completely become garbled, and according to the current situation, a smart machine warrior, reincarnated at most 13 times, will completely enter that state on the verge of obsolescence."

"I'm going to build a special data shrine to upload souls that can't be reincarnated anymore, and who have given a second life for the Mechanics, and they should have a decent ending."

Merlin nodded, and he said:

"A mechanical version of Valhalla? The final abode of the soul of data is used to carry the heroic spirits born after the war. ”

"Very good idea, this can also be part of your teachings."

"Hmm."

Icarus nodded, and she said:

"My idea is that this will also be one of the cards of the Mechanicus Cult."

"The souls left behind by the most brutal battles, when necessary, can be awakened again... Although they can only serve the God of Ten Thousand Machines one last time, their combat power is definitely much stronger than ordinary intelligent machines. ”

"Those stirring emotions should not belong to the strong emotions of robots, making them more like living souls."

The glasses lady stroked her long blue hair, and she said:

"The same soul as me, just like you."

"Now that we've proven that the Mech Legion is up to the task, let's move on."

Merlin lifted his chin with both hands, and he said:

"Before the first real battle of hell in the wasteland begins, more war machines will be produced, as well as the first order of divine creations, those war machines."

"Have all the corpses of the demons been burned?"

Merlin asked another question.

The glasses lady nodded, and she said:

"Those creatures have been very special, very cruelly modified, their physical potential has been squeezed clean, and their souls... It doesn't seem to exist in their savage bodies. ”

"Their wills have been twisted into a form that knows nothing but destruction, and the winged angels have told me that this kind of soul cannot be cut off."

"They are like the residue that has been swallowed up and chewed up by the malice of the world, and there is no possibility of being reused, so I asked my compatriots to pile them together and burn them, and the ashes were scattered into the River Styx."

"Hmm."

Merlin nodded, and he pulled out a large, thick-skinned book from his desk that resembled the Kama Taj style.

He said to Icarus:

"The closed ultimate mother box will stay there for the time being, and when I am ready, I will extract the cosmic force in it, and after that ritual is completed, the mother box can be studied by you."

"Those special technologies, especially the sonic boom that can resonate the space to form a teleportation rift... This is important for the Cult of the Mechanicus. ”

"I'll do it."

The Glasses Lady said a word to Merlin, and then left the throne room with something else.

After Icarus left, Merlin took a deep breath and opened the dark red tometry in front of him, with its metal cover and chains entwined.

There was nothing up there.

is a completely blank book.

This is Merlin's own hand-made, his own magic tome, after consulting one of the first Supreme Mages of the Vishan Emperor, Agomoto.

It is naturally impossible for such a book to record those ordinary magic.

In fact, this is the second weapon Merlin has made for himself, after Judas.

"It can carry a certain amount of cosmic divine power as a container for temporary storage, but you still need to continue to look for items that store cosmic divine power."

In Merlin's hand, in the spread out Book of the Emperor Visant, the voice of the tiger Hoggs was heard.

The big tiger lazily said to Merlin:

"It takes enough Force to collect enough to ignite the cosmic furnace, and this power... You can't use it now, and you have to have more knowledge before you can master the power of the Origin of the Universe. ”

"I know, you've said it many times."

Merlin replied casually.

He picked up the skull left behind by Steppenwolf and let the surging vanity envelop it.

The light was like some kind of creature gnawing on food, and the skull was rapidly breaking down in the clicking, like the sound of ants moving.

Merlin tossed the orange light from his finger into the inkwell he had handy, then took the pen made of angel feathers, dipped it in the inkwell, and began to write lines on the blank pages.

His handwriting is beautiful.

It's like the ancient sorcerers who wrote it in flowery script.

Soon a page was filled.

The orange glow in the inkwell had also faded into obscurity.

In front of Merlin's eyes, the words on the pages of the dictionary shone with a special sheen, and when Merlin's fingers touched the words, he could faintly hear the roar of Steppenwolf.

"It's done."

The Raven Lord put down the pen in his hand with satisfaction.

"Are you recording a magic that has never existed before, did you create it yourself?"

The voice of the big tiger Hoggs sounded again, and it was obvious that this idle demon god had been watching the movements of his "disciple".

It asked curiously:

"This magic looks a little strange, it doesn't fit the structure of traditional spells, it doesn't have a handle, it doesn't have a mana model, what is it for?"

"Simulate, and then use it to strengthen me."

Merlin picked up his tome, his fingers brushing the incantation, and he whispered a word.

“ΣÎșληρ?? ÎŽ?? ΜαΌη!(Brute force!) ”

"Huh"

As the incantation was pronounced, orange dots of light shone on the tome, quickly covering Merlin's body, and with a strange sound, Merlin's body quickly became stronger.

Between the muscles and the bumpy, he quickly turned into a 4-meter-tall hunk.

He moved his fingers, sensing the terrifying power that lingered in his body, and he said:

"Simulating the power of Steppenwolf, thanks to the addition of 'special materials', this simulation has no loss... Doubling the magic also enhances the simulation. ”

"Look, I have a second combat form besides the caster."

"I'm both a mage and a warrior now."

"Huh"

He waved his hand away the magic power, and his massive size quickly retracted, returning to the graceful spellcaster he had been.

He closed the book in his hand and said to the book of Emperor Weishan on the side:

"The form of Emperor Weishan inspired me, and maybe I will also make my own 'Book of Emperor Weishan'."

"Odin told me that it's hard to reach the top without pure power, and I couldn't agree more."

The Raven Lord stroked the book in his hand, and he whispered:

"But no one has stipulated that I can't collect those powers and use them as weapons... What do you think of my idea? ”

In the face of Merlin's inquiry, the great tiger Hoggs could not lift his spirits and said:

"Not good."

"When Agamotto made the Book of Emperor Vishan, he found spirits like me and Ao Shutu to support the core of the Book of Emperor Vishan... You're going to make the same tome, and at least there aren't many beings in this universe that can meet your requirements. ”

"Oops, hey, look at what you said."

Merlin chuckled, and he explained:

"I'm not greedy, how can I make a finished product as perfect as you all at once."

"I'm easily satisfied, as long as there is a downgraded version of the Book of the Emperor of Weishan, I am very satisfied."

Speaking of this, a cold glint flashed in Merlin's eyes, and he said:

"As for who to call for the kernel of this book... Hehe, I already made my choice. ”

"And what are you going to call it?"

The Great Tiger Hoggs asked:

"I don't have much contact with you, but I already know that your fetishes are hopeless, you always like to name your things, and your taste is so bad."

"I guess you'll call it 'The Book of Merlin'?"

"No, no, no."

The Raven Lord casually tied the heavy dark red tome around the belt of his robes, and he patted the thing, and said:

"I'm going to call it 'Emperor Dark Visan'... Don't put on that sarcastic face, I'm just kidding. ”

"Let's call it the 'Book of Ravens.'"

The Vainglory King hovered in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling glass of the throne room, his left hand stroking the book at his waist, his right hand flicking, and the sword Judas jumped into his hand with the hum of the blade.

The sword seemed to shine a little more brightly after drinking the blood of a Heavenly Father.

But maybe it's an illusion, it's still ugly.

"The road ahead..."

Merlin let go of his sword and let it wirl around him for two weeks, then hovered quietly over Merlin's hand, and after drinking the blood of Steppenwolf, it became much more submissive.

This gave the Maharaja a contented and relaxed smile as he gazed at the pale sunset over the wasteland prison, his fingers sliding over the blade of his sword as if stroking a cat.

He whispered:

"Just go on until... The end of the day. ”
