Chapter 1050 Clockwork Scheme
Chapter 1050 Clockwork Scheme
In the end, we're just pawns we can use and discard as we please...
"Gu Ling Wu thought to herself with a heavy heart, but on the surface she could only understand."
"I understand, and I will cherish this 'freedom'."
“Wu, you are the one with the least freedom among the four of you. The other three all have their own ideas and goals. It’s time for you to find something you really want to do.”
With things as they were, the God of Slaughter, before leaving, left behind a kind word. He looked at the distant sky and murmured to himself:
"We've done all we can; now it's up to fate. Another catastrophe is about to unfold... Don't you think so, Shenghua?"
.........
On their way away from the Long Night Star River, Miris and Hunyuan Tianzun encountered Honghuang Leonidas and Zhenshi Gertrude.
Hunyuan Tianzun stood silently to one side, while Miris stepped forward to greet the senior from before.
After some questioning, we learned the purpose of the two men. Based on information conveyed by other ancient dragons, they knew that Kuremus was here, so they came here specifically to try to save this ancestor of ancient dragons and hoped to obtain more information about the dragon race in this universe.
"I see. We just happened to encounter a giant dragon infected by evil spirits. Is this the one you're looking for?"
"Miris asked."
"Where is she? I think she must be the Kuremus we're looking for."
"Zhenshi Gertrude immediately said excitedly."
"Unfortunately, she seems to be mentally unstable. A friend of mine tried to talk to her but was attacked. She seems to be under a seal."
"It's alright. We dragons have special ways of communicating, and besides, with my experience, I might be able to break the seal."
Seeing that he could not stop Zhen Shi Gertrude and Hong Huang Leonidas's determination, Miris said nothing more.
However, after the two left, Miris did not continue to follow Hunyuan Tianzun, but secretly caught up with them.
Disbord's strength is in no way inferior to one of his two predecessors, and with the other characters from Long Night Galaxy also involved, it's hard to guarantee that they won't encounter danger.
He stayed behind the scenes just to give his seniors some face, and maybe he wouldn't even need to lift a finger.
As for Hunyuan Tianzun, Miris can catch up with him at any time if he wants to.
Because Hunyuan Tianzun wasn't traveling at full speed, but rather wandering around, Miris could catch up quickly at full speed.
Meanwhile, on the other side, shortly after the Six Realms Gods, the Wheel of Fate Moirai, and the Six Great Realms Gods left the Clock Realm.
An anomaly occurred within the clockwork realm. Wojci, who was in charge of managing the area, hurriedly poured coffee onto the clock, attracting Horilogie's attention.
From Wochi, Horilogi received shocking news: all the Clock Trial Officers had disappeared.
"That's impossible... Could it be that something happened to the Time-Slaying Machine?"
"What pig or chicken?"
"Come with me quickly!"
Horilogi immediately knew the answer. Without bothering to explain to Rocky, he rushed out.
On the vast, shimmering sea, a dazzling sun slowly rises, casting its golden rays upon the entire world.
This mysterious sea area, known as the "Sun, Moon, Stars and Sea," is currently bathed in the dazzling sunlight, shimmering with captivating brilliance.
However, at that moment, the once calm sea surface suddenly began to ripple.
These ripples were not ordinary water waves, but rather an unusually intense and rapidly spreading vibration.
Starting from the center of the sun, moon, stars, and sea, they spread outwards like huge ripples, creating waves and producing clear, melodious sounds wherever they went.
As time went on, these ripples became denser and stronger, eventually converging into a powerful force that caused the entire sea surface to boil, as if something extraordinary was about to be born.
Finally, a colossal object slowly floated up from the water, its body shrouded in a curtain of water, making it only vaguely discernible as a sphere.
As the water curtain descended, a spherical machine made of countless metals and gears was revealed. Just from its appearance, one could tell that it was some kind of particularly complex mechanical creation.
The missing clock trial officers suddenly reappeared here and then merged into the circular machine.
In an instant, the circular machine seemed to come alive. A burst of golden light shone out, and three blade-shaped metal fragments slowly emerged, rotating continuously around the entire circular machine.
Inside the circular mechanism, a clock, a deep blue color and surrounded by two ring-shaped gears, one gold and one purple, quietly began to run.
As the clock ticked, various energies surged forth, including dazzling light, purple shadows, and some complex energies that were not yet recognizable.
The entire circular machine continuously contracts and expands, just like a beating heart.
Horilogi arrived with Watch, and upon seeing the circular machine in the air, he revealed a knowing expression.
That was the Clockwork Machine mentioned earlier, a mechanical device and spirit with life.
The Clockwork Machine, with the attribute of Shadow Holy Spirit, was not originally a product of the Clockwork Realm. It was obtained by Disbord by chance and placed here.
The reason was that Disbord believed Horilogie might be able to figure out the function and usage of the clock mechanism, since it contained both gears and clockwork, and Horilogie was very good at studying these things.
Disbord stated that it was a machine capable of detecting the world, but its specific uses remained unknown. Horilogi attempted to start it, but it lacked any power button or similar mechanism.
"I never expected this machine to be such a problem for you. Don't you often build these headless and mindless machines?"
Horrigo did not respond to Disbord's teasing, but instead focused on his research. After some time, Horrigo finally gave up and proposed two hypotheses:
The first hypothesis is that starting the machine requires specific personnel, time, place, or tools. If it is indeed a tool, then the method of starting it may be beyond our current understanding.
The second hypothesis is that the machine might be turned on from the inside, rather than from the outside.
Regardless, Horilogi could only temporarily place it in the Sea of Day and Night, letting it absorb the power of various natural resources, which might be of some help.
In addition, Horilogi extracted elements from the surface of the clockwork mechanism and processed them into clockwork trial officers.
From this, we can see that the raw materials used to make the clock mechanism include elements of light, elements of darkness, and some other elements that are hard to identify.
Perhaps the elements extracted by the driving machine did not have any autonomous consciousness or signs of life.
There was no other way but for Horilogi to give them life and consciousness himself. Aside from the extracted elements, Horilogi couldn't glean any more clues.
After that, Horilogi stopped paying attention to the clockwork mechanism and never expected that the machine, which could not be started, would start on its own at this moment.
