Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

Unexpectedly, the liquid level actually dropped slightly. This was not because Shangluo clearly saw the liquid level drop, but because water marks appeared on the wall of the urn.

The liquid level that had remained motionless before also left traces in the urn. Now the water level has indeed dropped a small amount, so the traces can be seen.

Alexander also noticed——

"Hey! Lord King of Rome! This. You really can't drink this! This is very important."

"Once it's in my hands, it's mine. You said it yourself, this is a matter between the two of us. Please step aside and let Phaethon. Do you still have the Good Fortune Pill? Give me a pack."

Chapter 810 Aquarius

[Aquarius. You really drank the Ambrosia in the Aquarius]

"Your Excellency Apollonia!" Alexander looked at the alchemist over there, "Don't you care about this!"

"Why did he let you take care of it?"

[Because that aquarium represents the sacred vessel of Aquarius among the twelve constellations, it means that it does not have a specific corresponding main god, but it is blessed by the entire pantheon, so it has the same divine power as the sacred vessel. There are twelve such artifacts, and the source of this power is actually astrology. But like other places, we at the Oracle didn't trust each other very much, so we put the sacred artifact in Alexandria. After all, the operations center was also there. 】

"So this is yours?"

Apollonia choked for a while: [Forget it, although it is nominally mine, I have neither seen nor used it, and I probably can’t get it back even if I want to. You can use it if you want. Anyway, if you don't use this Aquarius bottle, it won't be in my hands. 】

"Then the other 11 are also in the Muses Palace? What's the use of them all?"

[These holy weapons are different from artifacts. Their functions are very typical, just like the descriptions in myths. You can guess what their uses are. The bottle of Aquarius is used to hold Ambrosia. It is said that this thing is actually the rice bowl of the Olympus gods and the source of immortality for the gods. If you really want this thing to be refined, if you can really refine it - then you can do whatever you want. I have no opinion. 】

"Okay." With the permission of Apollonia, the owner of the sacred instrument, at least the nominal owner, Shangluo no longer had any scruples.

He consulted the former young general about the specific plan, and Apollonia was responsible for conveying it.

[It is said over there that it is really flooded and can no longer be filled. They really can't pump water. The flow rate is only that big. Previously, it was pumped to Huachi on the top of Fangcun Mountain at a trickle flow rate. How can you pump it if you pour it into it like this? 】

"Then forget about pumping water. Ask them if they have life jackets ready?"

【life jacket? What do you want to do? 】

"Since Huachi cannot be pumped up at a high place, let the water level rise. As long as the flood rises, the water level will rise to the level of Huachi. In the past, even the emperor could not get such a large amount at one time I used a lot of spiritual liquid to practice alone. But I took such a big gulp just now, the water level of the pot is negligible, and I need to indirectly observe the water traces to notice it."

[Wait a minute. Went back again. 】

"what?"

【look by youself. The part you drank just now has gone back, and the water level has returned to the layer where you were flooded. 】

"Ex-junior general!" Shangluo called to his men.

"Guluulu~~~" A series of bubbling sounds came from my ears.

[He is soaking in the water, asking you what's the matter. 】

"I need specific data. My eyesight is good enough, but I'm not familiar with how to use it yet. Let the Beans process the image I saw and calculate whether the part I just refined actually lowered the water level."

[Wait a moment, he's counting how many aren't submerged. If they're all submerged, they'll be incapacitated. Up is down, down is up, and the same applies to you and others. Your spiritual energy is integrated with the inner landscape of Fangcun Mountain. If the entire town is submerged, it means you've lost control of your spiritual energy as well. Even the former young generals won't be able to help; they'll all be submerged.]

In this way, Shangluo did hesitate for a while - he was not hesitating whether to release the flood, but he was hesitating for a while how to protect his own safety, because he did not want to put all the pressure on Phaethon and Apollonia. If he was incapacitated due to refining the vase, he felt that he had to at least ensure his own safety first.

So, how can you protect yourself when even the former young player is unable to do so.

【Ah, you have that】

"I, I brought that - then it's no problem. I'll refine mine in a while, and you guys should do whatever you want. If he suddenly turns against you, just run away. Wait until I refine it and then I'll blow them all away. Shangluo also sent a copy of the plan to Phaethon, and said to Alexander:

"I originally planned to compete with you as an ordinary person, but it turned out to be a battle of skills. Now that things have happened, I will stop acting. To tell you the truth, whether you are in Ambrosia today, It doesn’t matter if it’s Yaochi Immortal Wine, I’ll take it all, because the essence of evolution is the ability to adapt to the environment. My evolution is far superior to yours.”

"Your Majesty, King of Rome, do you really want to... This is very dangerous! Mr. King of Rome, we are not friends, are we? After all, I still seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Before, we only discussed avoiding disadvantages, not seeking benefits. There are no rules restricting us, right? If you become incapacitated due to swallowing the sacred weapon, I will definitely not miss this opportunity, so please think about it, this sacred weapon is really important."

"You don't need to worry about this." Shangluo interrupted him, "I just want to ask you one question - where is the quietest place? I don't like noise."

Alexander hesitated for a moment and confirmed to Ptolemy next to him:

"The rest room over there is the quietest. It was the secret room built by little Pompey at the beginning. It was dark on all sides and only had a fireplace in it. You were all resting in it just now."

"Well, it's over there." Holding the treasure vase in one hand, Shangluo walked in step by step. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the lounge, then reached into his arms and took out the golden armor from the bag - the golden armor made of divine chromium. First came the armored boots, followed by leg armor, breastplate, and arm guards.

Piece by piece, Shangluo magically took out a lot of armor parts, and then put them all on with the help of a floating glove.

Sitting on the same spot again, Shangluo's whole body was wrapped in divine chromium, except for his helmet. He meditated cross-legged, maintaining a stable posture.

While his head was still exposed, he shouted to Alexander: "See you later."

After saying that, he put the helmet on his head with both hands, completely isolating the inside and outside. The former youngster put the gloves back on Shangluo's hands before falling into the water, and then came off the line. The last action was that Shangluo grabbed the treasure bottle and pointed it at the inlet used by Shen Chrome to add spiritual energy to the back of his neck.

After that, there was silence.

Alexander stood there for a few seconds.

"Is this the beginning?"

"The refining has begun." Phaethon shook his head, "Now, you have no other choice but to wait where you are. Don't think about confronting Shen Chrom. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

Chapter 811 Refining

"If you don't believe it, just try it." Phaethon pointed at Shangluo who was meditating on the spot, "You can use the strongest attack method. Let me remind you, his armor can't even defeat the Forest King or Elodea. Even Sha’s attacks can’t penetrate it, do you know what it is?”

"adamas."

"Yes, it's adamantine, the unconquerable divine metal. In Rome, adamantium belonged to the unconquerable Mithras, so the Spear of the Sun was made of adamantine. In Cathay, I don't know how this thing came about. Come on. Anyway, he is as big as a suit of armor." She noticed Alexander's eyes.

"You don't believe it, do you?" Phaethon read the doubts and uneasiness in his eyes.

"How could I possibly believe it?"

"Then you give it a try." Phaethon stepped out of the way, "So I don't plan to help him protect the law. He can guarantee his absolute safety without considering us. Because just this way Armor, even if Zeus himself comes, he can't break it because of the fine gold."

"Because adamantine once killed the limbs of the God King, the Olympus protoss had nothing to do with it. According to legend, the gate of hell was also made of adamantine, and the three-headed dog Tartarus was bound there. No one can understand Don’t open the chains.”

"You know very well."

"But is it really such a big piece?!"

"You already believe in the Gate of Hell, why don't you believe in armor?"

"Because I have never seen the gate of hell, but this set of fine gold armor is right in front of me."

"Well" Phaethon shook his head, "So I said just let you try it. It's okay, just try whatever you want, I won't stop you."

[Alas, this guy doesn’t believe it. It seems he has to try it himself to know how powerful it is. 】

Alexander stared at Shangluo for a while, then turned and told Ptolemy to get something - not long after, Ptolemy got a pair of golden bows and arrows. There is a golden crow on the bow staring ahead, and the golden arrows in the quiver are arranged in a fan shape like the corona of the sun.

"Paris Longbow? You have a lot of good things on your hands."

[Hey, what are you doing with my bow? This is indeed mine. It is the golden bow that Apollo gave to Prince Paris of Troy. I had Phaethon use it before. 】

"It's useless for me to use the things stored in the Palace of Muses." He unfurled his bow and arrow, motioning for Phaethon and Apollonia to get out of the way.

Phaethon paid no attention. She just watched Alexander's performance like a play.

The Parisian Longbow was the weapon used by Phaethon before the Spear of the Sun. She was also very good at using it, and she also had expectations for the power of this bow——

The bow was stretched, and a golden ray of light passed through the air, making a crisp "ding" sound on Shen Chrome's armor. When he got closer to take a look, he could only see the red-hot light arrow smashing into the armor like a discus. The red-hot light indicated that the energy had not been released yet. But where it hit, Shen Chrome's armor was completely unscathed, with no dent at all.

"I told you all. Chrome, or gold, is an unconquerable metal. You can't dent or bend it in any way. It's unconquerable. That Paris longbow you have in your hand With Apollonia’s divine power as the foundation, it won’t work at all.”

[Hey! Why isn't it working?!]

"Because it's just not very useful. Besides being accurate and hitting vital points 100% of the time, its power is pretty average."

"Wait a minute." Alexander keenly captured the key words, "In other words, the place where Paris' long bow strikes is the vital point?"

"How can you die with your eyes open?" Phaethon replied, "Even if I tell you where the vital point is, what can you do. This is the gap in power levels. Even if you take out all the sacred weapons in the 12th House and If you try it on him, you won't be able to break through this armor, so you've lost."

"Where did I lose?"

"This is what you said yourself - as an inhuman thing equal to a vessel, drinking with you is equivalent to drinking with infinite void. As long as Shangluo transcends infinity, you will surrender. And now, Shangluo is Refining Infinite, he is taking Infinite Ambrosia as his own. This is completely in line with your previous definition, isn't it? So, don't you plan to surrender now?

"Oh, you may have forgotten one thing. Alexander never untied the knots, Alexander only cut them off!"

He looked at Phaethon and Apollonia—although Shangluo was now indestructible, these two were still outside.

But when his idea just came to him, like a prophet, Phaethon and Apollonia broke open the glass, jumped from the top of the Empire State Building, and then disappeared in mid-air.

"You really don't need to protect him." Alexander shook his head. "Thankfully, I still had some hope that you would stay and fight me. If I activate a few more holy weapons, I can at least keep you here to negotiate. And Now."

"Your Majesty." Ptolemy suppressed his voice, "We are left here. They don't think they need to worry about us anymore. What should we do?"

"Let me calm down." Alexander covered his forehead. "All this is different from what I thought. Through various methods, I at least wanted to take down the King of Rome this time. I didn't expect that I would take the lent sacred vessel. They didn't even regard me as a real enemy, and they treated me as politely as a friend until the end. In their eyes, it seemed that I didn't need to be vigilant at all. "

"Isn't this bad?"

"This means that they completely ignored my threat and my existence - there is no greater contempt than this." He looked at Shangluo in the lounge, "But sadly, that is the fact. This is the level of power There is a gap, or as Shangluo said, it is an evolutionary gap. At first glance, he and I have the same level, but he can come up with a perfect solution to any problem, even Ambro, who I carefully prepared. Xia, I induced him to enter a bleeding state in many ways. Even in his opinion, this was just a kind of temptation? He adapted to this easily."

"We failed but sir, we can do it again."

"Alas." Alexander sighed, "Just do it. There is no need to enmity with them anymore, we retreat into the shadows - everyone, retreat, back to Thebes."

"Wait a minute. My lord, you owe him Thebes!"

"Then let him collect the debt. I misjudged Cathay's technology, and its adaptability is simply impeccable. The experience of this failure can be used for the next time. As for the bet - doesn't he have the Spear of the Sun? Then use the Spear of the Sun to collect the debt. Ptolemy! Let’s go!”

The power of Amon Zeus leaves just as quickly as it comes. In just a moment, everything here was restored to its original state, leaving only Shangluo meditating in the lounge. Invisible fluctuations spread out from his body in circles, but no one here felt it again. Apart from.

"Dang Dang Dang", a burst of five or six, all the way to the fireplace all the way to the fire, shook out of dust due to vibration. Then, a clockwork man fell into the black ashes. The force of landing was extremely heavy, as if it was thrown from a building several floors away. The clockwork man was wearing a chef's hat. The place where the fire was stored was wide open and the fire had been taken away.

Suddenly, the clockwork man opened his eyes: "It's broken, my alkaline water ball is still in the oven!"

Chapter 812 King Kong is indestructible

"Really? So Alexander has withdrawn?"

【I saw movement. Not long after I left, he realized that there was no use staying any longer, so he withdrew directly. I saw his motorcade]

"How should I put it? He made a bet with me and found that he couldn't win, so he left the casino to me and ran away. It's not impossible, but his bet is everything to him, and everything to him is mine. This casino is just an appetizer. , I will take this casino, the source of Ambrosia’s vitality, as an appetizer, and I will ask him for the main course later.”

Moreover, this appetizer is enough to last for a while. Shangluo had already sealed off his five senses. If it weren't for the indestructibility of this tortoise shell, he wouldn't be able to refine this magical weapon so calmly.

"Besides, I didn't think he could hand over all this easily. My initial expectation was that this time I could use a pretext to declare war and establish a causal connection with him. That's enough. Nothing else. Anything more is earned.”

【Yeah? I thought you had a good time playing with him. 】

"After all, he is not a program. I can see that the human part of him is far greater than the divinity. As a human being, of course he will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is why Oio will die holding on to the pillar. There is no restraint. I didn't intend to expect him to abide by the oath. I had the same idea as him, I just hoped that the other party would stay at the gambling table for a while so that I could get more information. This time, I didn't expect it. "

[Yes, you have got the holy weapon, and you have also got the excuse to declare war, both in name and in reality, right? You are really lucky. 】

"Phaethon." Shangluo asked in the channel, "With the excuse to declare war, the Spear of the Sun can be used, right?"

"We do need a cause and effect before we can use the Spear of the Sun." Phaethon replied, "A wise choice. With such a cause and effect, we can directly lock the location of Thebes with a simple ritual. And there is no way to escape - this is why Alexander said from the beginning that he would wait for you to collect the debt. Although the contract is invalid for him and the oath will not punish him, the connection between you and Thebes has been established. With the spear in our hands, no one can escape the day of reckoning."

"what happened?"

"It seems that you haven't evacuated completely over there. There seems to be someone next to you?"

[Yes, I saw it too. Do you want us to come back? 】

"No. It's better for us to spread out now to spread the risk. I have nothing to protect. Even if it suddenly collapses into the void, Shen Chromium is still indestructible. Just wait for the old men to come and get me. You first Keep yourself safe.”

"And Karin?"

"Well, indeed, take Karin back and evacuate separately. If you guys can't evacuate, wait until I come out to deal with it. But, is there someone next to me? What does he look like? I can't see it now."

"How do you feel about yourself?"

"It's pitch black. It feels like a silkworm trapped in a chrysalis. It has completely lost control of its body. But the shell is very hard, so it's not a big problem. Just go about your business."

"Yes." Phaethon replied, and we will also try our best to rescue people. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to drive the boat away without people. "

"Are you going to deal with the crew members from before?" This was the only unresolved issue here. The crew members from before were trapped here, and those who could not be killed were killed here. The person who tied the bell must be found here to untie it. Logically, we still have to find them here -

"But." Shangluo thought for a moment, "Now that Alexander has withdrawn, what should we do?"

"I have an idea or a hunch: Although this whole thing was planned by Alexander, the person who restrained the crew may not be Alexander."

"why?"

"Because those crew members are from the Palace of Muses. Those crew members have already died once, and now they have entered Cybernia and belong to the Palace of Muses. There is no need for Alexander to lay out a plan to catch people under his nose. Member. It probably has nothing to do with Alexander. It was prepared by our little Mr. Pompeo himself. Only he really has the need to fight against the 'Eastern Empire'."

"Is it already the 'Eastern Empire'?"
