Because Clement's backup consciousness was stuck three days prior, he knew nothing about the trap set at the Divine Emperor's Palace, how Lin Hui had beaten him to a pulp, or how he was subsequently imprisoned in the dungeon.

Tutankhamun told Clement about the purification ritual.

Upon hearing this, Clement said in a low voice, "I underestimated Eleanor!"

Then, he stood up from the stone coffin and walked to a smooth metal wall.

Its current appearance is reflected on the wall.

A two-meter-tall iron-black metal body with an oval-shaped metal face consisting only of a mouth and two mechanical prosthetic eyes emitting red light.

Its body was covered by a magnificent scarlet robe, and its head was adorned with a topped crown.

Clement raised his cold, heavy mechanical hands and gently stroked his metallic face, exclaiming in delight:

"Is this mechanical ascension? I feel... my whole body is filled with power. This feeling of abandoning my cowardly flesh and blood is better than ever before!"

A moment later, it turned around, came to Tutankhamun, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Excellency Tutankhamun, for giving me a new life!"

"Congratulations, Clement," Tutankhamun said. "Flesh and blood will eventually decay; machines are the ultimate form for all races in the universe. From this day forward, you will have complete command of the machines of Torres!"

"Once we resolve the crisis of the Kree civilization and unify Torres, this planet will become a new member of the Mechanical Alliance. As allies, we will provide you with the technology to refine living metals. In return, you only need to pay the corresponding taxes on time."

"For example, energy, minerals... and the human soul."

Clement's eyes flashed red for a moment, then he nodded heavily.

Tutankhamun said, "This place is now in your hands. A great battle is imminent, so you must be prepared."

"Okay!" Clement replied, then watched Tutankhamun leave.

Next, he prepared to resurrect the other members of the Mechanicus.

......

Time flies.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Lin Hui stayed in the RV and didn't go anywhere.

His main tasks are twofold:

First, help Albedo regain her strength.

Second, synthesize various materials.

Through the combined efforts of the Huihuang Chamber of Commerce and the Imperial Military, he received a steady stream of scrap metal through the system every day.

In addition, through the Star Shield Army's merit system, Lin Hui also obtained a large number of low-level gene potions or mental potions.

However, since the invasion of the Kel'Thuzad, Starstones have become highly sought-after. Few players are willing to trade them anymore, instead requesting the Imperial Foundry to forge them into anti-magic weapons.

After all, not everyone is like Lin Hui, having a skilled equipment expert like Su Qingqian.

During this period, the number of rifts in the spirit world continued to increase, and the number of beings that are resistant to the spirit world experienced explosive growth.

Furthermore, some players have discovered that some powerful beings that are effective against certain types of creatures actually possess intelligence.

This discovery made the imperial high command even more vigilant.

Not only the Torres Empire, but also the green-skinned orc tribes suffered a large-scale invasion by Kree creatures.

Conversely, the Eldar fleet hovering in near-Earth orbit, being 100,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface, received very few attacks. Occasionally, powerful members of the Exoplanetary race attempted to take to the air, but they were instantly killed.

In addition, what surprised Elendina and other high-ranking officials of the Empire was that the Mechanical Eldar had stopped invading human cities during this period, as if they were brewing something big.

For a moment, the entire empire felt as if a storm was brewing.

However, the imperial leadership did not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Led by Otto, the master forging engineers enhanced the power of the city's void shield and warships using forging and inscription techniques provided by Breda!

In exchange for providing scrap iron, the Empire also manufactured a batch of "Super Alloy Mechs" capable of resisting mental pollution.

Personnel changes also occurred at the highest levels of the empire.

Pope Clement of the State Church was permanently removed from office for betraying the Empire, and Asamon, the leader of the Us Warband and chief think tank, naturally took his place, becoming one of the five leaders of the Supreme Council.

Dominic was appointed as the new pope. Dominic was formerly the bishop of Ironspine City. After being brought to Starshield City by Valerian, he immediately informed the Mechanicus about the matter and passed the test of loyalty.

But if we're talking about the biggest event that the entire empire and even the players have been talking about the most during this period, it has to be "Ho Lie". He has been regarded as a legendary player!

Huo Lie has been promoted to the commander of the Moon City Battle Group!

This speed of promotion left not only the players bewildered, but even the veterans within the Star Shield Army expressed their protests and doubts.

What gives someone who has been with the Star Shield Army for less than a month the right to ride roughshod over them?

Until one afternoon, War Master Leonard personally admitted: "Ho Lie possesses the combat strength of a peak ninth-tier fighter! Even in close-combat burst damage, he surpasses me!"

These words shook the empire!

This is absolutely incredible!!

The propaganda campaign by the imperial high command began to instill in the subconscious of the human camp the idea that Huo Lie was a top-tier powerhouse.

This information even reached the camps of the green-skinned orcs and the mechanical gnomes.

......

Deep within the territory of the green-skinned orcs lies the orc royal court.

The Greenskinned Orcs' chieftain, Gogol, was furious!

Originally, Gugor completely disregarded Huo Lie's reputation.

Until recently, when it went out to patrol the tribe, it was surprised to find... a group of bizarre orcs that were "eye-catching" in the camp!

The orc warriors' originally green bald heads were now dyed bright red, and they rode bizarre vehicles with only two wheels, powered entirely by pedals.

They shouted for the red-haired orcs and even yelled that they wanted to join them.

This scene enraged Gougol!

To suppress this evil trend, it personally took action, tearing hundreds of red-haired orc warriors to shreds with its bare hands, and crushing all the "28-inch steel rods" that they regarded as sacred objects into scrap iron balls.

Gogor, panting heavily, plopped down on the throne made of skulls and roared down, "Bring Richard and Li Lei here!"

Before long, Richard and Li Lei cautiously entered the main tent.

These two men, relying on their outstanding reconnaissance and deception skills, became the top scouts under Gugor's command.

"I'm asking you!"

Gugor slammed his massive fist on the armrest of the throne. "Do you know that player named Huo Lie? What kind of monster is he?!"

Richard and Li Lei exchanged a glance, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

How could they not know each other?

They were all too familiar with the name of Boss Huo Lie!

Back then, the two of them were the first to realize how powerful Huo Lie was!

Richard took a deep breath and said:

"Replying to the Great Chief... we know each other!"

Gugor's enormous eyes stared at him: "Just how strong is he in combat?"

Richard thought for a moment, then said seriously and firmly, "Unfathomable!"

Upon hearing this, Gugor grinned, revealing a ferocious and excited smile through his large, fang-filled mouth.

"Good! Very good!"

Gugor stood up and roared to the sky:

"It seems this player named Huo Lie is an opponent worth my personal attention! I must cut off his head and hang it on my chariot!"

P.S.: Dear readers, there will only be two chapters tonight. I've been staying up late lately and my sleep schedule has been too messed up. I need to adjust it.

Also, thank you all for your submissions! I've read all the comments, and some people have already guessed the golden keyword! Although I didn't guess most of them correctly, they still gave me inspiration, and some of them will probably come in handy later. Thank you all for your enthusiastic comments!
