Those who reincarnate must die.

The once enormous spacetime rift has disappeared, and it now looks like an ordinary landscape.

However, even with Zhang Lang's current perception, he could still see traces of obscuring the space, indicating that the space here was not as stable as other places.

Zhang Lang unleashed his explosive power, sweeping across the area where the spacetime rift was located, but there was no reaction.

It seems that what obscures time and space is not some mysterious force, at least not something that can be restored by returning to simplicity.

Is waiting all we can do?

According to the Chen clan, this cover can only last for two or three days, after which the crack will open again, and Zhang Lang will be able to return to the human world.

But now, the heroes of the Chen Clan, led by Ao Yan Jin Tong, have gone to the human world. With the defenses of Griffin City, can they really hold out for two or three days?

Although Diana is the altar master, she is all alone. Although the members of the twelve altars have been strengthened, their numbers are too small, and it is difficult for them to contend with the Chen Clan's team, even half of it.

As for Griffin City's original defenses, Zhang Lang had no hope whatsoever. Those things were fine for stalling for time, but without the involvement of the Reincarnators, they could be breached in a matter of minutes.

Oh, and the Holy Giants!

I wonder to what extent that giant has been repaired, how powerful he is, and whether he can withstand the heroes of the Chen Clan?

Thinking of this, Zhang Lang suddenly frowned, then his eyes widened.

Oops!

He looked up at the hidden crack and rushed towards it, looking extremely anxious.

However, the concealed spacetime rift is like another spacetime, and no matter how strong his power is, he cannot reach it.

In his anxiety, Zhang Lang unleashed a burst of power, tightly enveloping the spacetime rift.

It's not about eliminating anything, it's just about increasing perception!

He wants to analyze the principle behind the concealment of spacetime rifts, he wants to comprehend the laws of space, and he wants to uncover the obstacles that conceal the rifts in advance!

I must return to the human world before the Holy Giant is activated!

While Zhang Lang was trapped in the Savage World, Griffin City was also working intensively on the restoration of the Holy Giants.

Although all the necessary parts and materials have been found, the Holy Giant is quite old, and much of the data left behind has been lost. Restoring it won't be a smooth process.

Despite years of research conducted by the Sanctuary after discovering the giant's remains, most of their plans remained speculative. After Diana summarized and organized the findings, five plans were finalized.

"Lord of the City, we have tried three different methods so far, but we have not been able to light up all the modules at once."

The chief engineer of Griffin City reported to Diana with his notebook in hand.

At this moment, Diana was in the underground center of Griffin City, a vast space filled with meshing gears, steaming machinery, and busy workers.

Diana stood on a steel platform, took the engineer's notebook, glanced at it, and then leaned on the railing to look down.

About thirty meters below the platform was a pool of blood-red liquid, and a huge head was tilted and protruding from the surface of the pool.

It was less a head and more a skull, roughly resembling a human skeleton, but with four slender eye sockets, an orange gem embedded in the center of its forehead, and two curling horns on either side, their tips almost touching the platform where Diana stood. Its snout was more prominent than a human's, making it look somewhat like a gorilla or baboon.

Besides the grayish-white bone from age, the skull also shows numerous signs of mechanical modification. For example, the forehead, cheekbones, jaw, and temples are reinforced with a large number of metal parts, some showing signs of refurbishment and polishing, while others are clearly newly replaced. Most striking are the teeth in the enormous mouth; the mouthful of sharp teeth gleams with a metallic sheen, especially the four canines, thick and long, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.

Needless to say, this is the legendary Holy Giant. As for its enormous body, it should be submerged in an unfathomable pool of blood.

"Proceed with the fourth plan." Diana scribbled a few notes in her notebook. "Based on the feedback from the third plan, revise the fourth plan to Mode C!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The chief engineer took the notebook with both hands and immediately went down to instruct the workers to begin work. After a flurry of activity, the workers operated various steaming mechanical arms, connecting them to the skull of the Holy Giant. At the same time, beneath the pool of blood, spherical miniature submarines, each designed for a single person, guided various devices to connect to the Giant's body in a specific pattern.

Once everything was ready, at the chief engineer's command, numerous mechanical devices started operating simultaneously. Accompanied by the sound of steam from gearboxes, a massive surge of energy was injected into the giant's body. At the same time, a large number of complex magical runes lit up on the giant's body, from his chest to his arms, from his feet to his hips. Through the red liquid, specks of blue light could be seen in the blood pool.

"We're 88% lit up now, just the head is left! Increase the output power!" the chief engineer shouted over the loudspeaker. The workers immediately operated the equipment, increasing the energy injection. As the blood pool surged, the light of the magical runes climbed up the giant's cervical vertebrae, eventually reaching the giant's skull and spreading all the way to the tips of its horns!

"It's a success!"

The chief engineer cheered loudly, but Diana frowned.

As a reincarnator, her perception far surpassed that of ordinary people. She clearly sensed that although the magical runes all over the giant's body were lit up, these energies did not form a self-circulating cycle, nor did they activate the mountain core installed on the giant's chest.

Yes, to power the Holy Giant and activate the Mind's Eye and Organic Core, the only way is through the immense energy of the Mountain Core. However, the Mountain Core is a crystallization of natural elements from Hell, which humans cannot fully control. They can only install it within the Holy Giant and extract its energy using the lost ancient technology found within the giant.

However, simply installing it is not enough to activate the power of the mountain core. Therefore, other energies are needed to open up the magic circuits throughout the giant's body, complete at least one cycle, and use "inertia" to extract the energy from the mountain core in order to start an endless cycle.

However, after many attempts, this was the closest they came. The magic runes all over the giant's body were lit up, but the cycle of magic power was not completed.

No, to be precise, the circulation rate is too slow to form an effective extraction and thus cannot activate the core of the mountain.

"Still not working..."

After waiting for a long time without any further changes to the giant, until the energy supply ran out and the magic runes dimmed again, the workers all showed expressions of disappointment.

"Sir, it seems this still won't work. How about we try the fifth plan?" The chief engineer walked up to Diana and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No need..." Diana shook her head. "Judging from the results just now, the fifth plan contradicts the magic circuit, so its effect will definitely not be as good as the fourth plan. This should be the closest we've come to the desired outcome, but we're still missing something..."

With that, Diana sighed, "It's very late today, everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest, and continue tomorrow morning. Chief Engineer, send all the test data from today to my office."

The chief engineer nodded in agreement and immediately went to arrange for the data to be organized.

Diana sighed, the control platform rose, and she left the testing ground.

It wasn't that she wasn't anxious, but the current plan had problems, and there was no point in continuing to work overtime. She needed to combine today's data for further calculations, adjust the plan, and prepare for tomorrow.

As a hero-level reincarnator, she can stay up for a few nights without much impact, but these workers and engineers are made of flesh and blood. Continuing to work them out will only reduce efficiency and make them more prone to making mistakes.

Meanwhile, the chief engineer copied data from various equipment locations, did some preliminary sorting, and then left the test site, heading towards the city lord's mansion.

As he rounded a corner, a cool breeze blew by, and sand stung his eyes. A sharp pain shot through him, and as he rubbed his eyes, the data in his hand fell to the ground.

The engineer, his eyes stinging and watering from the sand, struggled for a long time before finally managing to clear it. Head bowed, tears still streaming down his face, he picked up the data book from the floor and continued on his way to Diana's office…
