Chapter 359: Hongdou's Chance to Become a God
Chapter 359: Hongdou's Chance to Become a God
At this moment, Li Yu sensed an invisible wave that clearly contained divinity, which began to sweep in all directions with the small robot as the center point.
It starts at the ancient god’s camp, followed by the Wanfu City in the distance, and the Wangui Tundra deeper inside.
Although the vibration was invisible and intangible, Li Yu was still able to sense it and instantly guessed who this unexpected visitor who occupied the body of the small robot was.
High probability.
Be the creator of little things!
The powerful mechanical undead who has the titles of [The Endless One], [The Master of All Ownerless Things], [The First Collector of the Boundless], etc.
It is said that he is a demigod.
But the strength it possesses is such that even some powerful divine entities are wary of it.
At this moment, in Li Yu's perception, the strength of this powerful man who suddenly arrived was probably far more than a demigod.
Of course, this did not prevent Li Yu from being unable to suppress his complaints after he opened his mouth.
"A mysterious human practitioner wearing multiple veils... repairing and transforming my practice work... a piece of celestial flame essence... none of them are qualified to enter my museum."
"Ok?"
"What an ugly and strange mechanical life form. The corpse of an ancient god, divine machinery, and mutated viruses... Interesting, interesting. This thing deserves to be collected by me."
"There's something more interesting. Let me invade and see...?"
Just a few words from an old mechanical voice showed that the first collector had already understood the incident and the reason in the blink of an eye, and began to explore it in depth.
The means are indeed amazing.
However, Li Yu could sense a sense of "kindness" from the way he spoke.
A style that disregards rules and acts shamelessly and obscenely.
"As soon as you come in, you scan it, and as soon as you open your mouth, you ask if you are worthy of being collected by them."
"Arrogant, domineering and treacherous, the so-called 'collection' is probably a synonym for theft and outright robbery."
"The little robot's habit of taking things without asking must have been learned from this guy."
"And he really did leave a backdoor in the little guy's body, which made it impossible for me to detect it before, and even kept it a secret from Hongdou."
"The strength of this Endless One has definitely reached the level of a god."
"According to the information Hongdou secretly found, this collector is notorious in the Boundless Spirit World and is hated by many races, forces, and even gods. However, his status in the Mechanical Undead Clan is very special. He is both a disgrace to the Undead Clan and a trump card."
"As for the reason for his notoriety, it is naturally the source of his title. He is essentially the equivalent of the "Thief Saint" in the boundless spiritual world, the number one thief."
"This guy likes to collect all kinds of priceless technologies, treasures, artifacts...even individual lives."
“It is clearly stated: I give my all to everything I see, and everything I see should be given all to me.”
"Of course, this guy himself does not recognize the identity of a thief. Instead, he calls himself a witness and protector of all wonderful civilizations and history."
……
Li Yu did not act rashly. While secretly criticizing the number one collector in the boundless spiritual world, he was thinking about how to deal with the extremely chaotic situation before him.
The latter spoke again, his tone showing obvious excitement and greed, as well as a sense of self-righteousness.
"A human who practices the 'Way of Machinery', transforms himself into a virtual life, devours another virtual life, and merges with the Void Virus from an unknown land... a virus that has touched the divine realm, a newly born distorted mechanical race."
"It's so interesting. This 'Deformed Taoist' can have his own exhibition hall in my museum."
"All the deformed mechanical races that He gave birth to are eligible to be my collection."
“It’s so beautiful.”
"I also sensed the malice of the gods' followers towards this new race. They wanted to exterminate them. They were a group of villains without brains, creativity, or the ability to appreciate beauty."
Having said this, the collector paused deliberately.
Then, as if he didn't care at all about Li Yu beside him, he continued to speak.
But what he was talking about this time was a plan, a feasibility plan for collecting the "Deformed Mechanical Ancient God" transformed by the Pioneer, as well as the Deformed Taoist and the newly born Deformed Mechanical Clan under his command.
No secrets, no secrets:
"Unfortunately, this place is too special. My main fleet cannot arrive in a short time."
"We can only sacrifice this little gadget and this practice work first, arrange it as a space anchor point, and then use the [Dimensional Teleportation Technology] to send an advance force over."
"After the group of distorted mechanical people and the void virus are defeated by the followers of the gods, I will come out to clean up the mess... Even if I can't take everything, I can take most of the spoils, enough to open a new exhibition hall."
"I will never allow such an interesting life form and new race to be extinct."
"Even if you are the enemy of the gods, you must take it away."
These words sound extremely arrogant.
Against the gods!
Not everyone is qualified to say such things.
If it were any other powerful being in the boundless spiritual world, even if he was a demigod or a weak god, it would seem like he was bragging without knowing his own limitations.
But it’s different when the person speaking is “the No. 1 Collector of Infinity”.
He does have this ability.
It is not known whether He has become a mechanical deity.
But his combat capability has undoubtedly reached the level of a true god.
In addition to commanding a large army of mechanical undead, he also possesses incredible magical powers including dimensional teleportation, dimensional folding, stasis field and even "timeline interference".
Of course, what really made him hated by almost all racial forces and gods was his ability of "infinite substitutes".
Literally!
His substitutes are endless.
The Collector can transfer his "consciousness" to any mechanical Undead without any obstacles, and directly overwrite the original personality and shape it into himself.
If necessary, his signature weapon, the [Scepter of Annihilation], can also be sent over through a combination of dimensional teleportation and molecular recombination technology.
These methods made all his enemies hate him to the core, but they could do nothing about it.
Every time I tried hard to knock it down or kill it, it turned out to be just a substitute.
It is rumored that there is a god who starts hunting Him from the first "substitute". Every time when people think they have finally killed the real body, it will soon be proved to be another substitute, like crazy, one layer after another, it is simply endless.
"I thought this guy's [Infinite Substitutes] were limited to other mechanical Necromancers."
"Now it seems that this includes his creations as well."
"This seemingly inconspicuous robot, Little Endless, is also one of his substitutes."
“It’s really not a waste at all.”
"If you count it this way, this guy's substitutes are indeed endless. Even a true god would find it difficult to kill him. In fact, he has been hunted down by more than one divine entity, but none of them succeeded. Some gods who were too careless even lost their lives and became one of his collections."
"What's even more disgusting is that even though he's already so powerful, he's still so cautious and wants to take advantage of any opportunity. He didn't just rush out and rob, but wanted to get help from me. I'm afraid he wants to push me out as the first line of defense. Did he know some of my details from the little guy's memory bank?" "He's treacherous and shameless, even worse than me."
……
The reason why Li Yu made these comments was that he came to that conclusion.
This is because even though the collectors coveted the "Deformed Taoist" and the "Deformed Mechanical Clan" extremely much, and shouted about it loudly, they never took any action.
With his means, with just a thought, the Immortal Fortress would instantly turn into an anchor point and be exchanged for the Mechanical Undead Vanguard.
The little robot will also directly become a collector's stand-in.
But Li Yu never saw the legendary Scepter of Annihilation.
In addition, the two of them could barely be considered of the same kind, so naturally he guessed what he was thinking immediately.
This guy puts safety first and he wants both.
A character who is truly terrifyingly strong yet overly cautious.
Complaints are complaints!
After realizing this, Li Yu felt angry but also happy.
He was originally worrying about how to deal with the disaster caused by Hongdou, but he didn't expect that a helper would come.
As for utilization?
Who says we can’t have mutual benefits?
Thinking of this, Li Yu was about to confront this number one collector in the world.
Suddenly, the spiritual response of Hongdou came to my heart and soul.
The master and servant have merged their souls many times, and even though they are far apart, they can communicate with each other through thoughts, but they cannot see each other as shown on the screen.
What Hongdou conveyed was the war situation in Wanfu City and some thoughts of the Deformed Taoist.
"All parties in Wanfu City, including the City Lord's Mansion and the Overlords of the Four Districts, suffered heavy losses."
"After this battle, no matter what the fate of the [Deformed Taoist] is, Wanfu City will return to its 'original' state. The highly mechanized scene that makes people look sideways will no longer be seen."
"The biggest loss was in the Holy Nest. All the mechanical lineages within the sect were contaminated, distorted and rebelled. The middle and lower ranks were slaughtered... The upper echelons, an organization called the Saint Council, led by the First Saint, a total of ten people, used some powerful formation to temporarily suppress the distorted Taoist."
"Several saints began to burn themselves, sacrificing their bodies and souls, and summoning the powerful clones of the 'Ancient Saint' to descend upon the world."
"In addition, all the major religious sects in the city are also carrying out similar actions."
"It is foreseeable that in the near future, at least five or six True God clones will descend into the world in Wanfu City to eliminate this disaster of natural distortion."
"The Deformed Taoist is facing a choice!"
"Although He has swallowed Skynet and possesses unrivaled computing power and wisdom, as a special kind of divine evil, He is deeply polluted and entangled in obsession, and is unable to make the most rational judgment."
"The correct approach is to gather all the deformed mechanical races, use a few giant mechanical races as the vanguard, forcefully open the space portal, and escape to the boundless spiritual world."
"Or we can seek permission from the City Lord's Mansion and integrate into Wanfu City as a sect."
“But He was obsessed with destroying Holy Nest, which is why He caused this disaster and was unwilling to leave even when surrounded.”
"I am now hiding in his mechanical army. My 'Heavenly Seed Authority' can still exert some influence on him, but I cannot convert him for the time being..."
As Li Yu listened, his eyes gradually brightened.
Suddenly, an inspiration emerged in his mind.
In an instant, the plan was finalized.
The life and death of Wanfu City, the destruction of the Holy Nest, and the interests of the major sects are naturally none of Li Yu's business.
Even if this [Heavenly Distortion] disaster was partly caused by red beans.
Li Yu’s real core interest also lies in red beans.
From the way the Death Taoist swallowed the Black Phantom Virus, then integrated the Hive Mother inheritance, and finally swallowed Skynet to become the Deformed Taoist... From this path, we can see that there is a shortcut to the practice of the Way of Mechanics.
Any secret medicine formula or promotion ceremony has nothing to do with it.
That being the case!
Of course, Hongdou can also take this as a reference to quickly enhance his strength and even become a god.
"Neither the Deformed Taoists nor the Deformed Mechanical Clan can be destroyed. They will be Hongdou's promotion resources and future subordinates."
"After being converted, Hongdou will be promoted to the [Goddess of Heavenly Craftsmanship] without any obstacles. This is a great opportunity that cannot be missed no matter what."
"So, they cannot be frozen in a museum by the First Collector as collections. This means that the Boundless Spirit Realm is not their escape destination for the time being. The newly born Deformed Mechanical Clan cannot possibly be a match for the Collector, one of the leaders of the Mechanical Undead Clan, not to mention the large number of evil gods."
"The only solution is there... deep in the border area."
After coming to terms with his thoughts, a smile appeared on Li Yu's face.
He immediately lowered his head again, with no intention of exchanging pleasantries with the "first collector".
Since they all exist in the same category, it is better to get straight to the point.
"Senior Collector, your idea is doomed to fail."
"Since you can't mobilize a large army now, and you can't come here in person, the most you can do is share some of the scraps."
"The Ancient Saint and at least six avatars of divine entities are descending upon the city. Many of them are your enemies. If you go, both the advance troops and this substitute will be lost."
"And here, this is the territory of the Lord of the Curtain."
"That huge, deformed ancient god was once an important asset of the City Lord's Mansion, an ancient god train that carried the chosen ones of the major gods to travel around this world yesterday. It even has its own exclusive narrative field. In the 'large-scale drama' that the Lord of the Curtain is preparing, it is one of the supporting roles with a name and surname."
"Do you think you can take it away?"
"If you have this ability, feel free to give it a try. You may be able to please the Lord of the Curtain and have Him arrange a role for you."
When Li Yu uttered these well-reasoned words.
The first collector who occupied the body of the small robot was suddenly startled, and the pale green light froze for a brief moment.
This actually means that He has clearly come!
And the real reason why he saw the precious collections that he was extremely envious of but never took action was because of him.
Lord of the Veil!
In Wanfu City, only a few insiders such as Li Yu knew these four words.
But among the powerful people in the boundless spiritual world, he has an extremely terrifying reputation.
He is an extremely powerful ancient god who regards all living beings and gods as puppets and chess pieces. The whole world, including the boundless spiritual world and the outer space, is a stage of various sizes. He is fond of creating all kinds of big scenes and major events and presenting them as wonderful dramas.
The duration can be long or short, ranging from tens of thousands or millions of years to hundreds or thousands of years.
However, after the end, some important actors and characters will be rewarded, and will be allowed to rest and disperse.
Sounds like it's pretty tolerant?
