Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 975 29. The God of Myriad Machines

"boom"

A low, loud noise came from the depths of the Numbani Industrial Park.

It was as if giants were bombarding the ground, and the ground was trembling, as if a huge earthquake was happening.

All internal staff in the entire Numbani Industrial Park were expelled from their jobs.

The omnics who downloaded the data from the net did them no harm.

But they were expelled.

Several tourist buses drove the terrified workers away from the industrial park, which had been taken over by free omnics.

"Those robots are crazy..."

In the bus carrying the children thoroughly, Aunt May held Peter and Harry tightly, and she comforted other terrified children.

But Peter wasn't too scared.

There was a strong remorse in his eyes.

A kid who can enter high school at 11 is definitely not an idiot.

He can guess that the chaos in front of him is definitely inseparable from the sister Icarus who was sent to the Numbani Industrial Park by him.

Sister Icarus said she was going to take something my uncle put here...

What is she going to take?

"Look! Peter, look!"

Harry pointed out the window and screamed:

"Look at that tower...it's flying!"

"what?"

Peter and the other children in the car turned their heads to look at the iconic building at the end of the huge industrial park behind the bus leaving the Numbani Industrial Park.

That thing called the Smart Tower...

fly up.

It is like a giant beast rising from the ground, and an ancient tree that has been separated from the ground.

In the masonry dust storm caused by the collapse of the ground, it slowly rose into the air like the mage's tower in a magical story.

"is that one!"

Peter's eyes widened, and he murmured:

"What my sister wants to take away... is that!"

"Uncle, your friends are so scary..."

"Whizzing"

Over the chaotic industrial park, several planes roared to the rear, with strange logos printed on those planes.

Peter, who has some research on superheroes, can tell the origin of the plane at a glance.

"The logo of Tianyanhui...is the arrival of superheroes?"

Peter clenched his fingers, the child's eyes were full of worry:

"Sister Icarus, you...you must survive!"

---------

The exterior of the smart tower that was separated from the ground and rose into the air looks shaky, but the workshop inside is still stable, without even a trace of vibration.

The smart tower itself is an aggregate of super-large building modules.

At the beginning of the smart tower design, this thing can realize the separation, transfer, and reshaping in crisis situations.

It is like a clumsy robot, although it is slowly moving, it is no problem to achieve deformation.

All the facilities in the smart tower are like the main control room that was ejected by the builder, that is, the artificial intelligence Hope, and can be combined and separated freely.

Like building blocks.

There is also an internal suspension system borrowed from the Cybertronians inside this huge building, which is enough to ensure the stability of the interior under any circumstances, except for being destroyed.

And now, in this smooth underground workshop, the heroes are dealing with a not-so-bad situation.

"He hurts!"

An old omnic swung a crowbar at the captain, shouting words the heroes couldn't understand.

"boom"

The omnic was knocked to the ground by the captain's shield, and a leg was chopped off by the sharp edge of the shield.

In the midst of sparks, the angry omnic slammed the crowbar at the captain, who then dodged it.

"You hurt him!"

The other omnic picked the wrong target and lunged at Clark, only to be sent back to where it came from by a punch from Superman.

"What the hell are they talking about?"

The female demigod solved the entangled omnic workers around her with three punches and two kicks.

She frowned, looked at the captain and Superman beside her, and said:

"Are they talking about us?"

"They're talking about Merlin."

Clark looked around, and he whispered:

"They're talking about what we did to Merlin, maybe what happened in the dimensional mirror...but the question is, how would they know?"

"Icarus told them?"

The captain responded:

"impossible!"

"Merlin didn't wear glasses at all when he went to the battlefield that day. I went there in the same car with him. I could see clearly."

"It's impossible for Icarus to know this, and she obviously doesn't understand the reason for that battle. We fought Merlin to save the world."

"You are."

Clark sighed, and said in a heavy tone:

"I'm not, I hurt him... I betrayed him."

"Icarus was talking about me..."

Superman stepped forward, he protected Diana and the captain behind him, he said:

"Let's go, leave this to me."

"You are crazy!"

As soon as Diana took Superman's wrist, she said:

"You don't want to die, do you? Merlin has forgiven you, and you still have a wife waiting at home! Merlin wouldn't want you to do this either!"

"I do not know."

Superman nodded to Diana and said:

"I'm going to reason with Icarus..."

"She thinks that I betrayed Merlin, I will apologize, and I am willing to be punished, but she can't just destroy what Merlin has been protecting."

"traitor!"

An armed robot who had been standing by the heroes to help them fight against omnics suddenly swung a knife and slashed at Clark's back.

"clang"

The high-frequency vibrating blade broke behind Superman's back, but it failed to hurt Clark in the slightest.

"go!"

Superman turned around and punched the armed omnic's body, smashing it to pieces.

He said to the captain and Diana:

"Get out of here!"

"Where's Tony?"

Diana suddenly asked a question. She looked around, but she couldn't find where the Iron Man who came down early had gone.

"He should be here."

The captain raised his wrist, and on the watch, there was a red light spot dancing in front of them, which was the position of Iron Man.

"In front, in the energy center... Oops!"

The captain's expression changed slightly, he held up his shield and charged towards the omnic workers gathering in front of him.

Superman and Diana follow behind him.

To be honest, the scene in this workshop looks like a heated fight, but in fact the fighting intensity is really low.

Not to mention the comparison with Merlin's last battle, even the melee between the heroes in New York City at that time was much more intense than this battle.

The omnic workers just seemed outnumbered.

For something like a robot, the power it can unleash is determined by the hardware.

The omnic workers in front of them are not omnics for combat. Whether it is defense or attack, their old bodies limit their destructive power.

Not to mention that there are two of the most powerful heroes in the world here.

Clark and Diana play them as they really are.

Even the captain who doesn't wear the symbiote suit can rely on the shield and excellent martial skills to spend a whole day with these omnic workers.

But Iron Man...

Iron Man can't.

Tony Stark relies on armor to fight.

That battle armor is the crystallization of high technology. However, Icarus has polluted the advanced artificial intelligence of the builder just now.

She is simply the absolute nemesis of high-tech heroes like Tony.

On the other side, in the energy center less than 500 meters away from the three heroes.

Tony Stark, who rushed in ahead of time, was strangled by his own Super Mark in an awkward posture, and lifted into the air.

As soon as the super mark armor rushed into the circular hall of the energy center, it was controlled.

Tony was ejected and easily grabbed.

"Edith! Edith!"

Tony grabbed Super Mark's cold fingers with both hands, he felt suffocated, and he said with difficulty:

"Restart! Quick!"

"Don't bother, Tony."

Below the energy core of the smart tower, in a module-making chamber, Icarus' new body is being assembled.

Her voice echoed in the central hall.

She said lazily, with some lack of energy:

"If Jarvis were here, I might feel a little more difficult...But who would have thought that the great Tony Stark would bring a little girl to fight me."

"After you go to hell, you will definitely be laughed to death by Merlin, Tony."

"Icarus!"

Tony said with difficulty:

"You must kill me today? Can we talk?"

"kill you?"

Icarus let out a heart-rending groan, and said:

"It doesn't have to be you, Tony."

"I just want to send a few acquaintances to accompany Merlin. Do you want to talk to me? I don't think it's necessary."

"You didn't stop to talk to Merlin when you attacked him, and you didn't give him enough time when you betrayed him..."

"You may think you have escaped to heaven..."

Icarus' voice became colder:

"But Raven, revenge must be avenged!"

"click"

Tony's clothes were completely torn apart by the combat artificial intelligence Edith manipulating Super Mark, and the cold gauntlet was clasped on the Ark reactor on Tony's chest.

"Don't! Please, don't!"

Tony really panicked.

The energy left in his heart by the mandarin back then has not dissipated completely. Without the thing in his chest, he would be finished...

"Is the iron man also afraid?"

In the sound of metal peeling, Icarus said softly:

"Don't Iron Man have a heart made of steel? Tony, you are so weak..."

"Snapped"

The Ark Reactor was pulled out of Tony's chest in its entirety.

Blood splattered.

"Icarus! You promised me!"

Just when Tony's face turned pale and his breathing became weak, Horus' roar sounded in Icarus' mind.

Mechanic Knight asked:

"You promised me! You can't kill!"

"what..."

Icarus was silent for a few seconds, and she said:

"Is it so difficult for human beings to make choices? It's really tangled..."

"Forget it... please spare your life."

"Snapped"

An electric arc bounced on the Super Mark armor, and Edith, who was manipulated, restored his own data loop.

It immediately opened the battle armor and wrapped Tony in it.

The battlefield first aid module in the battle armor was turned on, and the beating energy enveloped Tony to prevent the energy explosion in his heart.

"get out!"

Icarus snorted.

Edith, who seemed to be terrified, immediately took Tony to a high place.

There, a small square opens up in the wall of the smart tower, just big enough for Super Mark to leave.

"Tony evacuated."

The captain who had rushed to the energy center looked at his watch, and said to Superman and Diana behind him:

"Let's go in and stop Icarus from doing something stupid."

"I come!"

Clark kicked on the thick metal wall in front of him. Amidst the sharp sound of steel tearing, he tore apart the broken iron wall and rushed into the energy center.

But the moment he entered the circular hall, Horus rushed out of the darkness with an iron fist, and slammed towards Clark.

"boom"

Clark raised his arms, trying to block the punch.

He is made of steel and iron, and is invulnerable to swords and guns. Just a punch from a robot can't do anything to him.

However, on Horus' metal fist, there was a green light shining.

Clark's eyes narrowed at this moment, but it was too late.

"boom"

Superman flew backwards at an even faster speed.

It hit the broken iron wall like a fired shell, and the whole person was embedded in the wall.

Horus moved his arms, took the spiked steel hammer from his back, and blocked it in front of the stunned captain and Diana.

it says:

"How long will it take you?"

"2 seconds."

Icarus said lazily:

"Step aside!"

Horus turned sideways immediately.

Behind it, the underground construction cabin slowly rises, and in the escape of gas like cold mist, a unique omnic robot walks out of the construction cabin with graceful steps.

She has a perfectly streamlined body covered in the finest bionic materials.

Just like a real human being, his long blue hair hangs over his shoulders and hangs down to his waist.

Wearing a dark red silk robe on the body, every part of the face conforms to the golden section ratio, with a straight nose bridge and a delicate chin, which looks unreal.

Her eyes are blue.

Blue as the sea.

she remembers...

Merlin likes blue eyes.

Around her neck, there is a shiny pendant hanging on her chest. It is Tony's Ark reactor.

The operation of this body is maintained in a suspended charging manner.

She looked at the captain and Diana in front of her.

She leaned forward gracefully.

Accompanied by the gesture of Icarus saluting, during the operation of the metal module of the energy center, more than 40 super-large pulse guns also flipped out, locking on the target in less than a moment.

Icarus said in a hoarse, metallic voice:

"On behalf of Merlin... I send my greetings to you."

"go!"

Diana grabbed the captain and quickly backed away.

The moment Icarus raised her head, a terrifying laser cannon shot out from the muzzle behind her, almost chasing Diana and the captain who were retreating rapidly.

"boom"

A terrifying crack was blasted out of the outer layer of the suspended smart tower.

In the flames that soared into the sky, the captain flew out of the air.

Steve pressed his shield to his side and crashed into the ground with a roar.

But Diana jumped down and landed firmly on the ground, like a falling cannonball, blasting the ground out of a depression.

Beside the two of them, in the silent Numbani Industrial Park.

Tens of thousands of omnics came from all directions, densely packed, like an ant colony, surrounding the captain and Diana.

The captain coughed and stood up while clutching his abdomen.

In the billowing smoke, he and Diana raised their heads and looked at the smart tower suspended above their heads.

I don't know when, the smart tower has changed its shape.

It's like a thick silver spaceship, and like flower petals opening in the air.

Icarus was standing on the edge of the huge building.

She held Clark who was weakened by kryptonite and knocked out again. She pinched his neck and looked at the ground with cold eyes.

Looking at the two people who were surrounded.

Behind her, in the center of the building, on the raised metal platform, the rusty omnic Adam was holding a hammer, standing there solemnly.

Behind him, there is a strange big clock.

Under the sunlight, the shadow of the huge building is cast on the ground.

Those omnics, they are also raising their heads, looking at the sky.

Icarus slowly raised his hand.

Icarus' hoarse voice echoed across the land:

"Strike the bell once! Push the lever, activate the piston and pump... (PS.1)"

"clang"

Adam rang the bell, and the muffled sound of the bell carried far into the air.

Under the bewildered gaze of the captain and Diana, the omnics on the ground half-kneeled on the ground in unison.

"Toll the bell twice! Press the button, the engine fires, the turbo fires, life comes in..."

"clang"

The second bell rang.

All the construction workshops in the entire Numbani Industrial Park started at the same time.

Like the buzzing of bees, like the infusion of will.

The support aircraft of the Sky Eye Society flew high above the sky, trying to attack the smart tower in the sky with missiles.

But before the pilots could press the button, another slender figure stepped out of the tower and raised his hand.

Under the gaze of Hope, the mechanical spirit of the smart tower, the missiles were detonated before they even flew out of the nests, and the intruder planes that were trying to interrupt the ceremony exploded in the air.

"Toll the bell three times!"

Icarus' voice became deeper and more solemn.

Like a substantial hill, it weighed heavily on the captain and Diana who were surrounded by omnics.

The expression of the demigod also became ugly.

Merlin's follower, the mad omnic, seems to have made up his mind...

She's going to do it all.

today...

It's hard to end peacefully.

"Sing in unison, praise the God of Myriad Chances!"

Icarus raised his arms forward, and as her voice echoed, the omnics half kneeling on the ground roared in unison.

Icarus shared with them more than soul and faith.

And anger, hatred.

And Merlin's pain when he was besieged...

She's not the only Avenger...

Today, all omnics will avenge Merlin with their own hands.

Hehe, the perpetrators thought they could escape...

But Raven...

an eye for an eye!

(PS1: Taken from "The Canon of the Martian Mechanic Cult", that setting is very good, I like it very much, so it is used here, and it is quite in line with the progress of the plot itself.)
