Mechanical Alchemist-Chapter 582 - 581: Gods and Demigods

"Ahh~"

Soon after receiving a message from the Eternal Night, a piercing dragon's cry echoed from the horizon.

The sound, like a bell, came rolling in.

Listening to the reverberating echo in his ears, it was clear it wasn't just one or two giant dragons, but a whole flock!

Wrapped within the dragon's chants was a domineering dragon's might, and even from such a distance, Su Lun could feel the despotic presence that looked down upon all creatures, murmuring to himself, "Could these be Tier 9 dragons?"

Tier 9 dragon clans were already the apex beings of this plane, it was best to stay as far away as possible from such tyrannical creatures on regular days.

But at this moment, not only was Su Lun not afraid as he watched, his heart was, in fact, filled with anticipation: "Now things are getting lively."

Because he distinctly felt that those giant dragons were not releasing their might towards the Golgond Temple, but rather towards the Titan spirits summoned by the sound of the horn above Hell Volcano.

Just as he expected!

Before long, several lightning-fast shadows swept across the sky above the island of Cocoloxi.

Soon after, a long string of shadows followed!

Su Lun looked up and quickly caught sight of the targets; only then did he discern that the fleeting shadows were giant dragons with scales reflecting dazzling colors of all sorts.

Flame Red Dragons, Forest Green Dragons, Frost White Dragons, Lightning Blue Dragons, Corrosive Black Dragons, Divine Silver Dragons, Gemstone Dragons, Coppery Red Dragons, Tyrant Gold Dragons...

Almost all the dragon species that had appeared in myths and legends were now before his eyes.

The sky was densely packed, and he estimated there were at least several hundred purebred giant dragons.

The majority of the dragon clans from the Alchemical Plane must be here!

"This... So many purebred giant dragons?

Even though Su Lun was already counted among the few with the broadest knowledge on this plane, the sight of this overwhelming dragon army left him incredibly shocked.

Ordinary people would be lucky to see a purebred giant dragon in their lifetime.

What then was the concept of having several hundred appear all at once?

The proud dragon race, even when hunting, would act alone; who has ever witnessed such a scene?

The "Dragon Country Waters Chart" that Su Lun had obtained earlier showed that Hell Volcano was a relic of the Ancient Dragon Country. But further west was marked with a skull symbol, the zone of death, with a note: The dragon's den.

It was an area several levels more dangerous than the island of Cocoloxi, home to the Medusa clan.

Looking at the direction from which these dragons were coming, it was obvious that the dragons from Dragon Island had emptied their lairs.

And upon closer inspection, leading them were indeed two Tier 9 giant dragons.

Identified even with names, displayed as [Dragon King Grulnir] and [Red Dragon Clan Leader Odniel].

That dragon might, which made Su Lun's entire body feel a trembling sense of awe, was released by these two giant dragons.

Tier 9 giant dragons, when compared to Alchemists' tier, were absolutely beyond the standard battle power.

Following these pureblood giant dragons were tens of thousands of various lesser dragons, wyverns, and dragonkin creatures.

Their numbers formed a blanket over the sky, seemingly infinite.

This force was in no way inferior to the Titan bloodline exchanged by the sound of the horn.

If it had been just one or two purebred giant dragons, Su Lun might still feel his domineering courage unfazed, but now, even he was shaken to his soul by the passing dragon clan army, almost as if it were going to scare him out of his body.

It was a terrifying pressure, as if the world was about to collapse!

Yet in that situation, Su Lun's face grew more and more spirited as he murmured, "This is really heating up."

Although the vast majority of dragons were considered monsters of the evil alignment to humans, under the current circumstances, the more dragons the better!

...

As dragons with wings were much faster than sea creatures that swam, in just the blink of an eye, several hundred giant dragons and countless wyverns had swept across the skies of Cocoloxi Island, rushing toward Hell Volcano in the distance.

As they flew past, the sea monsters that had previously landed on the island were all intimidated by the dragon's might. A large number of creatures were scared into trembling, and the lower-leveled beasts fainted or even died on the spot.

If not for the [Horn of Apocalypse from Galár] having the effect of boosting morale, most of the Titan sea beasts wouldn't even dare to surface under the dragon's might.

But in the blink of an eye, the first batch of giant dragons to reach Hell Volcano began to fiercely combat the Titan spirits.

The varying Dragon Breaths clashed with the high-level magic of the Titans, creating scenes reminiscent of massive nuclear explosions, with turmoil that seemed to split the earth.

"Boom," "Boom," "Boom..."

The sky above the volcano's crater seemed to have been shattered, with thunder and lightning and terrifying cracks in space flashing repeatedly.

Su Lun, sharing the vision of a black crow in the sky, witnessed the visible shockwaves coming his way.

The islands near Hell Volcano turned into dust; in the blink of an eye, they were completely wiped off the map?

Su Lun was left staring, dumbstruck.

In the Eye of Omniscience, chaotic fluctuations of Laws filled the world.

At the heart of this battlefield, it was a true meat grinder. Only the dragon kin with their naturally full defenses against physical and magical attacks could withstand it; any other high-order magical beast would probably be annihilated.

Without waiting long, an unprecedentedly fierce shockwave swept over Cocolossi Island.

This island was still quite far from the core of the battlefield, but even so, the shockwave was powerful enough to uproot nearly all the trees and send them hurtling into the sky.

Fortunately, the temple of Golgoth was robust enough. The shockwave only scraped away the broken walls on the outskirts, while the main hall continued to stand tall.

Su Lun quickly used his eight-armed spider spear and threads to secure himself onto the main body of the palace. Shrouded in his imposing aura, he managed to hold out against the shockwave.

However, after the first wave of impact, a monstrous tsunami followed closely behind.

Everywhere, the scenes were akin to the end of the world.

Seeing this, Su Lun actually felt a huge sense of relief in his heart.

The titan monsters were preoccupied with the dragons and, thankfully, did not continue to besiege the temple of Golgoth.

Especially those colossal deep-sea leviathans, who were now the primary targets of the dragons.

Without the threat of these overpowering foes, the other monsters seemed far less of a problem for Su Lun.

It was also Su Lun's first time witnessing such an exaggerated battle with his own eyes.

He couldn't help but marvel at how the ancient war had once shattered the very plane of existence; even now, when the highest among the dragon legions were only ninth-order, they were terrifying. One could only imagine the apocalyptic scenes of that plane-shattering war where the Dragon God had participated.

The sudden participation of the dragon kin dramatically reversed the situation.

Su Lun, once a primary participant, now seemed like a mere spectator in this affair.

It was like returning to the battle within the curse space at the Atlantis Ruins when all they needed to do was watch from the sidelines.

The battle between the dragon kin and the titans seemed to be a destined conflict inherited from ancient times.

Even the Evernight received news; the monsters that appeared were being directed by the horns to the central battlefield, showing little interest in the humans and posing no apparent danger.

All of a sudden, the crises seemed to subside.

Su Lun was in no rush to leave anymore.

Looking around, the temple of Golgoth still stood firm, and the soul fluctuations of Queen Medusa within grew stronger, seemingly progressing smoothly.

Turning to look elsewhere, he unexpectedly found that the violent shockwaves that had swept across the island had wiped clean the deadly black water pond that had accumulated for years in front of the temple.

"Huh..."

Su Lun looked over and found that where the toxic pond was, there appeared to be an altar-like structure.

Mr. Hei had mentioned before that this pond was situated above the central axis of the palace, and the structure beneath it might serve some special purpose.

Su Lun, looking at the ancient text on the carvings, had a hunch that it might be hiding some secret.

Besides, for the engravings to survive uncorroded for fifty years amidst such corrosive poison was truly astounding.

But there wasn't time to study this now, as the crisis was not yet entirely over.

...

"Those guys from the divine plane probably didn't expect to create such a huge mess..." Su Lun mused.

He hadn't forgotten that those from the divine plane were the cause behind initiating this great war.

Clearly, the dragons had emerged en masse, likely in response to the sound of the "Gjallarhorn's Day of Judgment."

Or perhaps the dragon kin had always been tasked with guarding Hell Volcano?

Regardless, this turn of events was certainly not something those from the divine plane wanted to see or had anticipated.

Thoughts swirling in his head, Su Lun speculated, "Given the current circumstances, if those guys have any tricks left, they should be going all-in now..."

He looked at the current state of the battle; the dragon kin seemed to be gaining the upper hand due to their home-field advantage.

If the battle were to continue this way, the plans of those divine plane fellows would probably fall through.

Su Lun was well aware that the most important reason for those from the divine plane to come to these waters was not to surround and kill any Dawn Group or to trouble Queen Medusa, but rather they were aimed at the "Mimir's Spring."

So everything they were doing was for the sake of that divine spring.

At that thought, a flicker of insight crossed Su Lun's mind: "Hey... could the reason for the war that erupted here initially have been because of 'Mimir's Spring'?"

Now, considering that the titan spirits in Hell Volcano were certainly connected directly to the divine plane and the deities there were so invested in "Mimir's Spring," it was indeed possible that the battle took place in the Ancient Dragon Country for that very reason.

Now that he knew the enemy's objective, Su Lun pondered, "If I were those guys, I'd definitely head to Giant Island at all costs and secure the spring water before anything else."

This epic battle seemed unlikely to end any time soon.

And the current forces left on the Titan realm had no assurance they could eliminate the Dawn group.

Delay would only lead to unexpected changes.

Once Queen Medusa completed the inheritance, those from the Titan realm would stand no chance.

The best option was a desperate gamble to obtain the spring water on Giant Island.

With that, all previous losses would be worth it.

Otherwise, they would face utter defeat.

Of course, the premise was that they still had the ability to retrieve the spring water from Giant Island.

After all, Su Lun remembered something Queen Medusa had once said, "No one can forcefully take the spring water under the watchful eyes of the Cyclops race."

...

As more dragons and Titan spirits joined the battlefield, the area of conflict centered around Hell Volcano grew increasingly vast.

In the short term, there were no signs of it coming to an end.

If Su Lun could discern this chaos, then naturally those from the Titan realm could as well.

It was at the moment when the battle was at a standstill that the "Wuu... Wuu..." sound of the magical projection "Gjallarhorn of Doom" once again heralded the charge.

A mysterious force drove the Titan spirits and bloodline monsters to act in unison, causing a shift in localized battlefronts.

But this time, those monsters did not head toward Coquelicot Island but collectively moved in the direction of Giant Island.

"They're really going all in," he mused.

Su Lun had anticipated this, but his heart bore no trace of relief, instead his worry intensified.

He saw through the Dawn group's previously placed observation crystals that monsters began to frequently appear near Giant Island.

It was hard to imagine what force could stop so many top-tier monsters converging at once.

As formidable as the Cyclopes were, they might not be able to hold them off.

It seemed that the people from the Titan realm might indeed be able to seize the spring water.

Su Lun did want to observe the situation, but evidently, now was not the right time to do so.

That kind of battlefield was not just muddy waters to fish in, but a meat grinder.

Unable to leave Golgotha Temple for the time being and considering Giant Island too dangerous, Su Lun found himself in a dilemma.

"This spring water is so crucial. I fear it won't just be monsters; gods from the Titan realm will definitely intervene. At that time, those Cyclopes and dragons may not be able to stand against them..."

He closely monitored the distant battle, resolved to make a trip there at the first sign of any person from the Titan realm appearing.

Within his capability, he absolutely could not allow the enemy to successfully take Mimir's Spring.

...

Having amassed so much intelligence, Su Lun's predictions were almost unerringly accurate.

The very scene he least wanted to see still unfolded.

After dozens of monsters stormed Giant Island...

Suddenly, an extraordinary event took place!

Dark clouds churned above Giant Island, slowly taking shape as an indescribable will made its descent.

The clouds in the sky swiftly coalesced into a massive, blurred face.

Although its features were indistinct, the vertical pupil anomaly in its forehead was unmistakably visible.

And beneath this face, a golden-haired youth radiating divine light stood suspended in the air.

"So Frank hasn't perished after all..."

Closing his right eye, Su Lun murmured to himself as he watched the floating Frank in the sky with his left eye.

At this moment, the Saint Heir of the Titan race bore an entirely different demeanor from before, with Divine Power surging like tides, majestic and unapproachable.

This was definitely not Frank's own strength; it was more likely that the will of a god had descended upon his body.

"This is bad," Su Lun sighed softly in his heart.

It wasn't his first encounter with the descent of a god's will, but it was the first time he felt such an overwhelming divine pressure.

Saint Frank, due to his bloodline, could bear an overwhelmingly exaggerated amount of divine power, especially that of the three-eyed deity clan.

At this moment, the colossal face in the sky clearly belonged to a deity of the three-eyed clan.

This also granted him a terrifying force far beyond the ninth tier.

This oppressive force swept across the entire sea area, causing even those eighth and ninth tier dragons to simultaneously let out dragon roars, resisting this indescribable pressure.

And in the instant that this will arrived, a blue light shone from the vertical pupil on "Frank's" forehead, while the same vertical pupil on the colossal face in the sky emitted a beam of light a million times stronger, shooting directly towards Giant Island.

This beam of light seemed to be shining from another plane, penetrating the endless void of planes with an invincible force that diminish dimensional attacks on this lower plane.

Seeing this, Su Lun's heart did not entertain the slightest thought of causing trouble, "This is bad..."

This power of the deities was certainly not something mere mortals could withstand.

Just as the vertical pupil opened for an instant, a Cyclops wielding a Wolf Fang Club and charging towards "Frank" was suddenly pierced by the blue pillar of light.

In a flash, the hundred-meter-tall Cyclops was enveloped in blue light, and his body began to disintegrate into pieces.

But in the blink of an eye, the towering figure of the giant had completely vanished within the column of light.

Seeing this, the corner of Su Lun's eye twitched violently: "..."

A Cyclops of ninth-tier combat power was annihilated in one strike, and in this plane, he felt that even with Pandora's protection, the outcome would be annihilation if hit by such a force.

....

"Frank," descending like a deity, annihilated a Cyclops and then pushed forward relentlessly, flying towards the center of Giant Island.

Behind him, a horde of Titan creatures followed in his wake.

Seeing this, Su Lun felt that no one in this plane could stop this individual any longer.

However, an incredibly sudden change occurred!

Just when Su Lun thought the situation was settled, he felt a violent trembling on the island.

"An earthquake?"

He could distinctly feel that the source of the tremor was not the distant battle, but from deep beneath the sea.

However, while Su Lun was still pondering, suddenly a columnar behemoth surged out of the distant sea with a "splash."

As the giant emerged from the water, Su Lun looked carefully and realized it was an arm!

Visibly, it was an arm nearly five hundred meters long!

Seeing this, Su Lun couldn't help exclaiming in surprise, "What kind of entity is this, with such a long arm?"

A flash of insight crossed his mind, and he immediately realized this might be the forbidden entity Queen Medusa had mentioned!

Yet, what was even more bizarre was what followed.

As that hand reached out from the sea surface, it was as if an ancient aura awoke, and a majestic will as grand as the earth itself swept across the field in an instant, dispersing the oppressive force of the deity's arrival.

This colossal arm clenched into a fist and charged straight towards the three-eyed colossal face formed by the dark clouds.

This punch, while seemingly slow, was inescapable.

Su Lun could see that space itself was locked by a high-tier power of the laws!

On the fist, numerous black and purple space fissures sparkled with a "clang."

Just raising a hand caused the plane to fracture?

How powerful was this punch?

Even Su Lun, who had seen the pinnacle of alchemy, was stunned by this punch.

Mr. Jing had once said that the most powerful being the broken alchemic plane could bear was a "demi-god," capable of bursting out spatial fissures with merely the power of laws in one punch, which undoubtedly confirmed it was a demi-god.

This... There's a demi-god-level Cyclops slumbering beneath Giant Island?

A Cyclops demi-god of mythic bloodline, He truly has the might of a lesser deity!

"No wonder Medusa said such things! A lesser deity's arrival would be futile!"

Seeing this, Su Lun felt an inexplicable surge of excitement in his heart.

It turned out there was still such an existence alive in the alchemic plane.

Without time for further thought, as the punch was thrown, it landed solidly on the colossal face in the sky.

The dark cloud face first distorted and then burst open with a resounding crash.

The previously condescending divine will also vanished in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Su Lun's eyes immediately brightened: "A major turnaround..."
