Chapter 222 Perfect Spell: Purgatory Rashomon

Deus Ex – This is a unique 'star energy technique' possessed by the Iron Dome family and the Cult of Mechanism.

The so-called 'God of Myriad Machines' is actually a 'Quantum Fortress' forged by the Iron Dome family using the 'Miracle Stone Law' as its core.

It is the ultimate creation that has evolved through trillions of calculations by the internal [Intelligent Machine Central Hub].

Therefore, in a sense, the "God of All Machines" worshipped by the Cult of Machines was never a born deity, but rather an "artificial god" forged by the Mechanic Star Envoys with technology as their hammer and wisdom as their fire.

Although this artificial god is neither 'omniscient' nor 'omnipotent', it still possesses knowledge and power far exceeding ordinary imagination.

Through a deep resonance with the 'Quantum Fortress', a magical power began to descend upon Ivan.

He slowly raised his arms, and the swarm of nanobees inside his body suddenly detached from the mecha, swirling above his head into a huge, rotating golden halo.

The next second, the previously disordered flapping of the bees' wings suddenly became regular and distinctive.

Like a pipe organ played in a church, it is sacred and solemn.
Witnessing this sacred scene, Ivan performed a prayer unique to the Omnic God Cult.

His emotionless electronic voice, at this moment, shed its original cold mechanical texture and transformed into an ancient and devout prayer, echoing in the vast quantum space.

What was shocking was what happened after hearing his prayer.

The Gear Guardians, who had been in turmoil because of Vivian's 'Ten Thousand Mechanical Fire Seed', suddenly quieted down and, like devout believers, knelt down in the direction of Ivan.

"I, Ivan Olsen, in the name of the Iron Dome, dedicate the soul of Nano..."

"May the god of machines bestow revelation, grant machines a soul, and bestow divine grace upon steel!"

As Ivan's devout prayers resounded, the shells of countless quantum bees that made up the 'golden halo' lit up with a holy white light.

These white lights, like billions of stars adorning the robes of gods, swirled neatly around Ivan.

Subsequently, they used themselves as a bridge to connect with the 'quantum fortress' thousands of miles away, and bestowed some special blessing upon Ivan.

The next second, the mech on Ivan began to change.

In this process, the technologically advanced circuits and quantum trajectories on the surface of the mecha gradually evolved into a kind of sacred totem, similar to a religious mural.

"Warning. Divine resonance detected. Swarm synchronization rate has exceeded the critical threshold."

Amidst the piercing alarm, Ivan jerked his head up.

His pupils suddenly took on a strange, flowing light, as if a higher-dimensional will was penetrating his body and taking over this powerful steel form.

At the same time, the thrusters behind him no longer spewed out pale golden energy flames, but two pairs of pure white wings woven from a swarm of bees.

Each wing feather shimmered with the glow of star energy, as if an invisible android angel was crossing the void, transforming its own 'divinity' into wings, and gently embracing his body.

In an instant, the energy tides in the quantum space surged violently, and in the center of the golden halo, an indescribable, hundred-meter-tall divine phantom slowly solidified.

It was a 'false god' woven from countless quantum data and intricate machinery, its face shrouded in divine radiance, making it difficult to see clearly.

Only a pair of eyes, flowing with stellar energy, like two burning stars, indifferently gazed down upon the earth.

Looking at the 'majestic' behemoth above his head, Ivan, the AI ​​envoy known for his rationality and composure, revealed a human-like fanaticism at this moment.

That is an extreme thirst for knowledge and a burning desire to explore the unknown.

And this is what all the AI ​​Star Envoys have spent their entire lives trying to achieve.

Reach the limits of reason, explore the boundaries of knowledge, and then complete the true 'evolution'!
Looking up at this 'great being,' Ivan uttered his last words with utmost reverence.

"Praise be to the Mech Soul, [Holy Spirit] descends!" As the words fell, Ivan's mech and body completely merged.

An entity called the Holy Spirit completely took over the control of his body, becoming the core "Soul" of this mecha.

Upon seeing this, the comments section on the dimensional screen instantly exploded.

"Holy crap? Seriously, bro? You actually summoned a god?"

"Your Iron Dome family has even brought out gods! What kind of science are you talking about?!"

'The Grand Master seems even more outrageous now. The Iron Dome family has even created a 'god,' yet he still manages to suppress them. How powerful must he be?'

Looking at Ivan on the screen, who was covered in gold and had holy wings spread out on his back.

The viewers were genuinely fooled by this guy, thinking he had actually pulled off some kind of miracle.

But what Heaven said next directly exposed the truth behind this 'divine intervention'.

"Using oneself as the [base station] and prayer as the [command], remotely connect to the [super-large intelligent mechanical hub] in the quantum space."

"By sacrificing the lifespan of the machine body in exchange for higher computing power and star energy utilization, your Mechanical God Cult has really mastered the art of quantum technology."

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, the dimensional audience was momentarily stunned before quickly understanding.

Depend on!
After all that, it turns out this thing isn't theology, but science!

'So it's remote control via a cloud server?'

'So this god of all machines was summoned by 5G? That's ridiculously scientific!'

'Sacrificing the machine's lifespan? This is practically maxing out their credit card to play with divinity!'

'The end of science is theology, and the end of theology is science!'

Although the Heavenly Dao had already pointed out the key to his divine intervention, Ivan didn't pay too much attention to it.

Because at this moment, he only retained the most basic personality, while the rest was entirely controlled by the quantum fortress thousands of miles away.

The only 'instruction' he has received is to defeat the person in front of him at all costs and capture him alive.

With this conviction, Ivan slowly raised the omnic warblade in his hand.

The next second, a giant golden sword formed from countless quantum bees, accompanied by a humming vibration, slowly hovered above his head.

Seeing this, a hint of amusement gleamed in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.

At the same time, a quantum cube phantom, existing between reality and illusion, quietly appeared behind him.

Each face of the Rubik's Cube is filled with interwoven light and shadow, creating a fantastical scene as it rotates, resembling the slowly opening gates of purgatory.

Perfect Spell: Purgatory Rashomon!
There are many ways to ignite the divine fire, but the Iron Dome family chose a route that prioritizes technology and uses star energy as a supplement.

Although the Heavenly Dao did not understand why the Iron Dome family would go to the trouble of creating another 'Mechanical God Cult'.

But he instinctively felt that this mechanical god cult might be one of the important reasons why the 'God of All Machines' could exist.

If 'believers' are one of the important cornerstones of 'gods', then Heavenly Dao thinks he may have already found his own 'cornerstone'.
