Star Forge Titan

This force was like an invisible swamp, causing everything within its reach to slow down. Even the air seemed to become sticky, making it difficult to breathe.

"The other party is..." Ivan's tone suddenly rose a few degrees, and then suddenly dropped as if it had passed the peak.

"Level three."

Chapter 113: Big Mouth of the Iron Basin

"Level 3 ↑ ↓ ah——"

Ivan repeated again with emotion:

Fortunately, the opponent was only at the third level. As a first-level transcendent who had not been promoted for such a long time, he felt very sorry for the gap between them.

Although the third level can barely reach the realm of high-level extraordinary people, it is still within the scope that can be handled by the bonus of Elrond's secret ceremony, Titan bloodline, and the bonus of the foundation ceremony of the original world.

However, his current public identity was simply a law-abiding alchemist hoping to become a naturalized Linde citizen. Although he occasionally became entangled with downtown gangs, that was simply due to his living environment and he had no other options.

Yet, how could a law-abiding alchemist bludgeon someone to pieces with his fists in public? Did he really think the sheriffs of the Lind Police Department were blind? Did he really think the staff of the Lind Counterintelligence Agency were fools?

As for the last time I went to the Public Security Bureau, hey, it was all an accident. An accident is something that doesn’t happen often.

What's more, our car is running faster than the other one today.

In short, just drive towards the Gate of Heaven. There are high-level extraordinary people stationed there as guards anyway.

Perhaps, due to their status, they simply don't dare to open the gate to heaven. At that time, I will need to help them.

The expression on Ivan's face gradually became serious, which seemed to cause Conrad in the back row to have some misunderstandings.

"A third-level transcendent! No wonder my guards didn't react. If multiple third-level transcendents launched a sneak attack together, even..." The disgusting golden-haired handsome man stopped talking and couldn't help shaking.

Considering that the car behind could fit at least four people, what went wrong that would lead four high-level transcendents to assassinate a literary earl who was only good at writing plays, unless the other party knew that he was the emperor of the empire.

Logically, his identity shouldn't have been revealed. Besides the Duchess of Loire, who had to fill in for him, only a handful of powerful imperial officials knew about this. But they had no reason to resort to such extreme measures as assassination.

Furthermore, the appearance of Lady Tiole after her transformation made her look like a cultist. For an imperial noble to be associated with a cultist was a most unacceptable offense, a crime worthy of revocation of the title.

Of course, there is another possibility that is very small but logically sound.

That is, the Duchess of Loire was unwilling to continue to be an acting emperor, but wanted to make this job permanent through a simple and efficient purge.

However, when he thought of his cousin's face full of genuine or undisguised disgust when she saw the throne, Conrad quickly shook his head and threw this absurd idea out of his mind.

Although various speculations flashed through his mind, there was another more important issue that needed to be faced at the moment.

"The problem now is how to get rid of the car behind us. Our speed is decreasing!" Conrad turned his head nervously to look at the rear window.

The off-road magic car rammed other vehicles with an extremely brutal look. The strange roar of its engine was like the low growl of a wild beast in the air, which made people feel a chill.

"Sir, I have to correct a mistake of yours." Ivan glanced subtly at Diana, who was obviously drunk in the driver's seat.

"Ah?" Conrad looked at Ivan in confusion. He vaguely felt that he had seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

"I'm quite confident in my skills in building... modifying vehicles. Besides, please allow me to solemnly introduce them to you." Ivan suppressed a smile and continued:

"Although this person next to me drives a magic taxi, she's actually the best racer in the Lower City, the witch who dominates the Salt Race Course—Miss Diana Marilyn."

"So, they should be the ones facing the real problem. How to catch up with us is their biggest challenge right now."

"Uh, this." Conrad's eyes widened like a tropical fish, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Maybe, perhaps, maybe I should be thankful that I am so lucky?

This is what the Emperor, whose golden hair was as messy as a big golden retriever, thought.

As for Diana, she was now concentrating on driving the mini taxi that was stuffed into the shockwave magic engine.

The sudden emergence of soul power did slow down the magic car rental, but soon the force began to weaken.

Diana was no stranger to this sort of thing. While she hadn't encountered a high-level transcendent, she knew plenty of those who secretly used magic to cheat during competitions. Diana had only one way to deal with those guys.

That is to speed up and leave them and their disgusting magic behind!

The round car, which resembled a beetle, was now speeding through the streets like a mad beetle. There were other cars on the road ahead, but Diana saw no obstacles on the road.

Following the existing gaps in front of her and the gaps that will appear in the future, a void path that others cannot see quickly took shape in the girl's eyes.

Her irrational intuition told her that this seemingly imaginary road would indeed take shape in the future in a few seconds, and all she had to do was to make sure the vehicle's pace did not stop!

"hateful."

“That car.”

“It’s very difficult to deal with.”

In the off-road magic car, the three pairs of people said the same sentence one after another.

The second of the three brothers' eyes emitted a dark green magical glow, and a vague human figure made of swamp mud appeared behind him.

Just now, he was the one who activated his soul power to slow down the opponent's progress.

However, the soul power of the third-level extraordinary person has a limited range and soon becomes ineffective due to the further increase in the distance between the cars.

There was a bend ahead, and the inner lane was occupied by another freight carriage full of poultry. This was also a special situation in Linde at this stage. Old vehicles pulled by animals and new vehicles driven by magic would appear on the road at the same time.

At this moment, the freight carriage was slowly passing through the bend, completely unaware that an extremely dangerous car chase was taking place behind it.

Diana showed no fear at all, and the engine of the rental magic car immediately emitted a low humming sound.

The entire vehicle first accelerated suddenly, then braked quickly. The sudden change in inertia caused the rear wheels of the vehicle to slip, while the front wheels still firmly grasped the ground.

The next moment, this magic car actually overtook from the outer lane by drifting sideways!

By the way, it also scared the coachman in the inner lane and made him practice pulling the reins to prevent the frightened horses from running in strange directions.

"It's drifting." Ivan exclaimed without surprise:

Conrad in the back row also gradually relaxed as the distance between them widened again. He even had the leisure to apologize loudly to the coachman who looked astonished outside the window.

"I'm so sorry!" But before he could finish his words, Conrad saw the off-road magic vehicle following closely behind crash into the carriage.

Accompanied by the coachman's screams, the front half of the freight carriage spun and fell into the smelly garbage dump beside the street, while the rear carriage filled with various chickens, ducks and geese was completely smashed!

Bird feathers of various colors were flying wildly in the sky, and the strange calls of chirping, cacking, and goose-goose-goose filled the streets.

What was even more terrifying was that the front hood of the off-road magic vehicle suddenly opened, revealing a strange big mouth with metal parts as teeth.

Through the gaps between the teeth, one could vaguely see scarlet flesh and blood inside, instead of the engine parts that a normal magic car should have!

Then, it bit several fat ducks that were quacking loudly, and chewed them into pieces with a few "crunch, crunch" sounds.

Seeing this scene, Conrad's face was distorted with fear.

"What the hell is that!"

Chapter 114 Demon Engine

Demon Engine.

More precisely, they were demonic engines that had only recently emerged and hadn't yet completed their transformations and evolutions. Most of them were the product of the fusion of demons or demonic power with mechanical devices from the material world, and they were also new monsters that emerged after the magical engineering revolution.

Ivan has destroyed countless things like this in the game in the past, and the ruins are probably at least as big as two mountains.

Incidentally, when he forced one of them into scrap, the remaining part alone probably occupied the volume of a mountain.

All in all, the upper limit of this thing is very high and the lower limit is very low.

The big ones can be as big as a mountain, while the small ones can be as small as a mousetrap that chases and bites people.

Of course, the clamps were often covered in slime from the plague, making them like poisonous daggers coated in shi.

As for the demon engine before them, disguised as an off-road magical vehicle, it probably possessed combat power comparable to that of a second- to third-tier transcendent, though it lacked the soul power possessed by third-tier transcendents. This indirectly proved that the soul power that had nearly held them back earlier came from one of the crew members.

Faced with the possible existence of a third-level transcendent, even Alvin must use all his strength to repel the enemy.

In other words, the disguise provided by the Diplomat's Ring would inevitably be lost. Aside from rare cases like those of giants, a height of over two meters usually meant the person was most likely an Elrond demon, possibly even a demon noble.

Imagine a demon nobleman of unknown origin sneaking into Linde in disguise...

Oh shit, it's over.

So, it’s better to choose to report... I mean, leave professional matters to experts, such as the guards guarding the gate of heaven.

Besides, there might not be just one Level 3 on the other side. Even if they were just Level 3s who had just entered the advanced realm, the sheer number of them wouldn't be something a Level 1 barbarian like him, who had forcibly boosted his strength through various means, could easily handle.

Alvin shrugged and watched the off-road magic vehicle being left further and further away, and he became more determined not to act rashly and cause trouble.

only……

The black-haired boy's originally calm expression suddenly turned cold.

"Those guys don't care about the safety of ordinary passersby at all?"

Boom! Another rented carriage parked on the roadside was smashed to pieces by the demon-engined off-road magic vehicle.

The coachman, who had just gotten off the car and bought a cheap drink from a roadside vendor, half-opened his mouth and let the juice flow out onto his clothes. He just stared blankly at his car being rammed, squeezed and finally chewed vigorously by an unknown monster, completely turning into splinters on the ground.

This was just the least damaging of a series of car accidents, and at least no one was killed.

However, considering the Downtown Public Security Bureau's combat effectiveness was largely on paper, if the demon engines continued to wreak havoc, massive casualties would inevitably result. This was true even if Downtown residents were generally more sensitive to danger and knew to evade it early.

At this moment, Conrad, who was so nervous that his sphincter was about to relax involuntarily, suddenly shouted:

"Drive to a deserted place! Please!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Diana, who was concentrating on driving, secretly glanced at the other person.

"Are you sure? The Gate of Heaven is one kilometer ahead." Alvin also looked at the other party in surprise.

He naturally recognized that this man was the current Emperor Linde, although he did not expose his identity to his face to avoid more trouble later.

But Alvin really didn't expect that a noble, or to be more precise, a member of the royal family, would put himself in danger in order to avoid casualties among ordinary people.

"At least..." Conrad's lips trembled slightly.

Although he only wanted to live a leisurely life like a tropical fish, seeing those innocent people involved in danger because of him, the courage in his heart, which he thought had been completely worn away by his decadent life, suddenly overwhelmed other complex emotions and made this salty fish grit his teeth and say:

"At least lead them to where there's no one!"

At this moment, the performance of the blond young man made Alvin associate him with Emperor Lind in later generations who dared to put on armor and block the gate of heaven himself.

"Okay." Although Diana's voice didn't change much, her slightly raised lips still revealed a change in her mood.

"An unexpected request." Alvin also smiled and touched the diplomat ring on the ring finger of his right hand.

Then, the short-haired girl turned the steering wheel sharply, and the magic taxi that was originally heading towards the gate of heaven along the road turned 180 degrees on the spot, and turned the front of the car upside down to face the demon engine with its iron basin-shaped mouth wide open at the back.

"Wait, wait, isn't this courting death? No! ...

He was so scared that he opened his hands and his legs were shaking, his whole body pressed against the back seat. While feeling the strong push on his back, he saw through the front windshield that the terrifying and hideous mouth of the devil engine was approaching him!

But the other two people in the car seemed to be oblivious to this. One of them gripped the steering wheel tightly, his previously cold face now flushed with excitement, while the other leaned back in his chair, his arms clasped across his chest, even with a disdainful sneer on his face.

It's like watching garbage!

At the same time, the three brothers, whose demonic engines, disguised as off-road magic vehicles, were already showing signs of distortion and mutation, shouted in unison:

"Kill him, King Crusher!"

They seemed to have seen the cruel scene of the hateful little car being smashed to pieces by their own car, along with the people and the car.

But in the second before the collision.

Buzz! A loud engine roared towards the sky. The magic taxi, which was moving rapidly forward, suddenly turned its front without any warning, and under Diana's dangerous control, it slightly deviated from the direction.

Under the influence of huge inertia, the magic taxi with limited weight actually rolled to the side.

But the next second, Diana managed to keep the car body at that extremely delicate balance point before it actually overturned.

In this way, the magic car rental, which continued to move forward relying only on the two wheels on the right side, narrowly passed by the roaring demon engine - the Giant Crusher.

The iron basin mouth that kept biting and spitting out sparks didn't hit its target at all, so it could only plunge into the garbage dump on the corner of the street in anger, and then turned around with a mouth full of smelly junk and continued to chase the other party.

The two cars chased each other and soon disappeared at the end of the busy street.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around, as well as fewer and fewer vehicles, and the low houses on the street became increasingly dilapidated.

This was already the 'real' downtown area. The harsh engine sounds and monster roars made everyone retreat.

"Okay, that's almost it." Ivan suddenly said:

"What are you going to do?" Diana didn't stop immediately and still held the steering wheel tightly.

"Although we may not be able to beat them, but making their car..." Alvin paused, not sure if that thing could still be described as a car.
