Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 1023 - 887: God of All Machines

In the vast starry sky.

A giant head is slowly floating in this starry sky.

Upon closer inspection, one finds that this enormous head is encased in a precise steel shell.

Its streamlined mechanical exterior is layered intricately, reflecting a perfect sense of mechanical beauty.

Looking at the front, there are a pair of eyes resembling energy crystals, and the mechanical structure of the eye sockets encasing them.

The mouth is undergoing a mechanical transformation, turning into a vortex, generating a powerful suction in this starry sky.

A distant meteoroid follows the suction, flying over and entering the mouth, then being crushed into pieces and smelted within the spiral blades.

And at this moment.

He suddenly sensed something, and the entire giant mechanical head froze.

The pair of eyes emitted a strange light, and the mouth, which had become a shredder, reverted back.

A tear opened in the starry sky before him, and looking through the tear.

It was a square sealed space, flickering within the already dim space.

The walls shimmered, undulating like the surface of water.

The mechanical head quietly gazes upon it, and after a while, he suddenly opens his giant mechanical mouth.

Inside, you can see various mechanical structures and a gigantic furnace.

Various materials gather at his mouth, forming a head about the size of his own eye.

He is engaged in some kind of manufacturing.

The shape of this head is quite similar to his current appearance but appears to have undergone various forms of damage, looking very dilapidated.

Then, the eyes of this head flashed with light, and flames sprayed from beneath, flying silently into the sealed space.

At that moment, the spatial fissure closed once again.

But even as it closed, you could see the giant mechanical head, precisely probing the inside of the space through the starry surface.

He quietly observed the dilapidated mechanical head he had created, resting inside the sealed space.

He just stared, motionless.

The meteoroids and planets in the starry sky continued to drift slowly.

...

Off the coast of Platinum Country, on a deserted and empty island.

They had been back for almost ten days, and Kane had prepared during this time and was about to link the two spaces.

Kane Squad, along with Kreya and Rafael, seven in total, were staying at the center of the island.

In front of Kane was a humanoid robot entirely constructed of mechanical structure.

Upon careful inspection of its appearance, one would find it identical to the intelligent mechanisms of Platinum Country.

This was the perfect replica Kane and Crow had crafted, modeled after their race.

It was designed to embody Kane’s will, serving as Kane’s clone.

Apart from lacking its own intelligent core module, it was identical to the intelligent mechanism, like a clone without a soul.

Kane, at this moment, entered the divine power state of the God of All Machines, transforming rapidly from flesh to mechanical structure.

He then opened his mechanical palm, revealing a mysterious mechanical sphere in its center.

You could see the sphere has an extremely intricate mechanical structure, its core composed entirely of Universal Energy and Magic Rune.

Kane handed the mechanical sphere to Lilu on his shoulder.

Lilu held a Magic Wand, pointing at the mechanical sphere, into which colorful energy flowed.

Instantly, colorful brilliance erupted from the gaps in the mechanical sphere, spraying in rainbow-colored streams.

And the mechanical sphere itself transformed its perfect iron-gray mechanical texture to a plastic texture composed of white and various light colors.

It shifted from being an adult’s mechanical toy to a child’s plastic toy.

The mechanical structure inside also simplified exceedingly.

But the energy surged even more, transforming from a high energy core to a strong energy core.

Lilu’s Fairy Tale Energy was more advanced.

Looking at the core in his hand, Kane opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words, deciding to simply insert it into the exposed chest of the intelligent mechanism before him.

Then he sat on the ground, his energy-filled eyes dimming along with the sound of mechanical cooling, his head lowering.

Kane maintained the divine power state of the God of All Machines, using his mechanical body to shut down his form.

At this moment, the clone intelligent mechanism before him, whose eyes had been extinguished, burst into light.

Like a human, it began to move its body, twisting its mechanical neck and letting out a creaking sound.

Unable to resist, it lifted its leg high, stomped its foot, and swung its fists.

"So this is what the intelligent mechanism feels like? It feels really interesting."

Kane couldn’t help but say.

Sighing slightly, Kane swiftly tore open the space and gazed upon the huge headless dilapidated mechanical form inside.

"Prepare yourselves, once my body awakens, we’ll prepare our response."

Having said this, Intelligent Mechanism Cain walked into the space.

Kreya and the others stood on the outside, ready and vigilant.

Because Kane was sending a virtually identical mechanical form to meet the mechanical head for the first time as preparation.

After all, it’s a head with the power of five colors, achieved by ascending as the God of Machines through magic technology.

It had to be thoroughly examined first.

He believed that the God of All Realms wouldn’t recklessly enter directly, after all, it was a mechanical deity.

Calmness and making the best judgment is what he would do.

When Kane returned to the sealed space through his mechanical body.

The connection of the sealed space had reached its final stage.

The walls of the surrounding space had started to ripple like the surface of water, and the originally faintly glowing walls had now become more dazzling than before.

Even the chains binding the machine began to sway, and the body that was sealed within had started to tremble.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound as if something was fitting together finally connected to the last disconnected piece of the sealed space.

Violent water ripples began to appear at the top of the space, until eventually the oscillations became faster and suddenly vanished.

A new expanded area appeared above the sealed space.

A mechanical head floated down.

The size of the head perfectly matched the body, and like the body, the head was also tattered and broken.

Most of the face was shattered, revealing the intricate mechanical structure inside and the glow from the caves and energy flows.

The mechanical head quietly floated down, its mechanical structure nesting some sort of Crystal Stone with gleaming eyes, staring at the Intelligent Mechanism Cain before it.

At this moment, the power displayed by Intelligent Mechanism Cain roughly lingered at the level of semi-three-color.

"Are you the God of All Machines?"

Upon hearing Kane’s words, the mechanical broken head gradually floated in front of Kane.

The power exhibited by this mechanical head was at the peak of the three-color level.

It was not much different from the power displayed by this body, even exceptionally well matched.

The broken mechanical head opened its mouth and made a sound akin to one getting stuck.

"You linked the space together and attracted my head here, why?"

Kane responded, "My power has stalled at this stage and can’t advance further. I’ve reached this level purely by studying this deity’s broken body."

Kane’s words were true, as the construction of his Intelligent Mechanism body indeed utilized many core and advanced technologies.

These technologies were applications he deduced from the body of the God of All Machines.

The mechanical eyes flashed, easily confirming the truth of Kane’s words.

"But even so, my power is stuck here, unable to truly step onto that final step, the stairway to becoming a deity.

I need energy more advanced than his."

At this point, Kane tapped his chest.

The chest opened, revealing a core flickering with Fairy Tale Energy, then closed again.

It was obvious this energy was strong enough, but not enough to match the mechanical body.

And the body of the God of All Machines, which was sealed, was devoid of an Energy Core.

"And you, the genuine God of All Machines, might be my only chance. In exchange for helping you break the seal, I ask you to grant me enough knowledge."

The mechanical head just quietly looked at Kane, as if time had frozen between them.

It was unclear how much time passed, but the mechanical head nodded.

"Break the seal."

Upon hearing this, Kane’s energy eyes were fixed intently on the head above.

After a while, he waved his mechanical arm, one by one the energy chains locked around the mechanical body shattered.

Only then did the mechanical head slowly float to the neck position, gradually nesting together.

At the moment of connection.

Massive amounts of magic power stirred the entire space, as if it was about to be uplifted.

This magic power converged into the exposed core, surging energy appeared within the core, starting to flow through various pathways to all parts of the body.

Then, after the core transformation, energy gushed out again, flowing along other pathways.

In just a dozen seconds, the entire broken body had fully come alive.

The body that had been sealed for over ten thousand years took its first step.

The howling sounds of mechanical movement and collisions.

The God of All Machines raised its arm, lifted it in front of its face, opening and closing it.

Inspecting various parts of its body, discovering various signs of research disassembly.

After adapting to its otherwise immobile body for ten thousand years, it crouched down, extending its hand.

A light dot coagulated on the mechanical finger, slowly pointing toward Kane.

Kane raised his arms like this, quietly waiting for the blessing.

The light dot touched the mechanical head.

In an instant, sparks flew.

Before Kane’s Intelligent Mechanism body could react, it immediately fell to the ground as if power had been cut, sparks and energy still crackling.

Two enormous fingers picked up the body, stood up, and tossed it into the mechanical mouth, beginning to chew.

Crunching collision sounds followed.

"Ptooey!"

A colored glowing Energy Core was spat out from its mouth.

At that moment, Kane’s exterior power-off body, like being turned on, emitted a buzzing sound, and the head lifted up.

The body instantly reverted from mechanical state back to flesh and blood, standing up.
