Chapter 855 - 39: Trends
"First, the weakness! Then again, the weakness! Confess to your sins now—!"
"Hmph! Excuses! Useless! Unfaithful! Extinguish! Even if the divine power forgives, I won’t!"
"Here I come! Once, twice, great punishment from the heavens! This is my trump card! Marriage Fraud Execution Cannon!"
...
It seems that Miss Tamamo no Mae’s anger was truly blazing fiercely, manifested as this series of dazzling finishing moves used as if they were continuous attack skills.
An unknown number of hit-combo attacks were exhibited through incredibly splendid fighting techniques, leaving people dazzled. The energy reaction was overly intense, creating violent aftermaths, and the speed was so quick that the shadows couldn’t be caught by the eye. At this moment, everyone’s face changed color!
Especially when behind Miss Tamamo no Mae, a colossal demonic shadow of the nine tails appeared...
An absolute Nine-tailed Goddess!
With critical elements completely complemented both materially and spiritually, she returned to her former glorious state, the golden fur and white mask appearing enormous visually.
In this state where she was so angry that even the fur on her ears and tail stood up straight, naturally she couldn’t conceal her true face and nature. It’s unimaginable, that terrifying pressure made everyone around feel as if the space itself had solidified.
The chillingly terrifying aura, even the air around seemed to be screeching in a trembling wail.
Except...
At the center of the storm, amidst the luxurious special effects and dazzling lights, the white-clothed, black-haired youth struck by the chain of finishing moves, merely stood there with a helpless look, his azure and clear star pupil eyes seemingly reflecting the calm, unmarred Inner Sea of Stars.
Like waves crashing against the shores, rolling up a thousand heaps of snow—
However, amidst the grand surges of tides, in the battering of the waves, the imposing rock remains unmoved, as solid as Mount Tai, undamaged no matter how fiercely struck.
It was seeing this scene that made the expressions of the people around become strange. They instinctively wanted to rush to help. Even though they were initially intimidated by the Nine-tailed Goddess’s aura, they quickly freed themselves from that pressure, not paralyzed into inaction.
But now it seems...
Could it be that the person is incredibly strong to the point of being unbelievable, flawless physically and mystically, or is this actually some sort of bantering?
It hadn’t been long—
"Ah ah! What exasperating, furious Tamamo I am!"
After angrily delivering the final blow, Miss Tamamo no Mae seemed somewhat calmed down. She glared hatefully at her own Master, and then looked around, stamping her foot forcefully, furiously declaring.
"Idiot Master! I’m not dealing with you anymore!"
"..."
"..."
Watching Miss Tamamo no Mae’s stormy departure, Gu Mo sighed helplessly, raised his fist, knocked on his forehead, then reached out to brush off nonexistent dust from his body.
In a thought, it was as if time rewound, the fixed spatial location state, with destroyed material information, was swept back, all particles restored to their previous state, returning both damaged landscapes and structures destroyed by the aftermath, along with the technique barrier setup.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if nothing had occurred. If not witnessed firsthand, no one would have believed a local calamity had just erupted here.
After finishing all this, Gu Mo still stood in place for quite a while, then turned to look at the crowd over there, pulling the corners of his mouth into a polite yet somewhat awkward smile, sighed softly, and said:
"Sorry for making a fool of myself, everyone..."
"..."
"..."
"You...are you alright?"
Yakumo Zi slightly furrowed her brows, seemingly trying to confirm his condition by inspecting him up and down.
"How could anything happen to me..." Gu Mo shook his head, although it seemed grandiose, the string of fighting technique combos was truly intimidating, it did not break the defense at all, none of the attacks reached A++ grade or above, being completely nullified...
Although Tamamo just now seemed very furious, the essence was akin to someone unable to bear it, reaching out to punch him a few times.
Or rather, it’s precisely because she knew how frightening his defense and damage reduction rate were, that Miss Tamamo no Mae vented her anger this way. If it were serious, for her complete self, breaking the defense wouldn’t be too difficult, but she didn’t do that.
She simply angrily scratched at him for a while, stamped her foot in fury, and left.
Gu Mo sighed lightly again, glancing once more at the large group of people over there, indeed, timing is everything. Such a large group came boisterously for a group event, the teleportation device’s default path setting is now bound to the nearby space around him...
The result was all of them came flooding in, like making dumplings one after another.
It’s quite ironic, just before he claimed he hadn’t attracted many girls, the majority of the girls from Fantasy Land came over.
No wonder Tamamo’s rational thread seemed to snap instantly in that moment...
Gu Mo seemed somewhat distressed, but he still gathered his thoughts and nodded gently to the people in front of him, his gaze quickly fixing on Miss Shinki and Alice, smiling as he said: "Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to... Penglai Island."
"The first stop was supposed to be the Moon, but your timing was a bit off. The Moon Base is now a thing of the past, so you won’t be able to see the Moon of this world," he said, sounding somewhat regretful.
At that moment, everyone suddenly looked up with a sense of awareness.
It should have been a sunny day, clear and bright, with the blazing sun overhead, yet at that moment, they seemed to see night descending, witnessing the Moon slowly turning, revealing its true face on the hidden side—a massive mechanical body.
It was...
The visage of God.
Seemingly an illusion, yet deeply imprinted in consciousness.
Gu Mo only briefly exhibited it; in reality, the modified true face of the Moon on the hidden side wouldn’t be revealed, as the entire mechanical world is buried beneath the layers. From the surface view, you can’t perceive the new appearance of this ancient satellite.
Moreover, to be honest, if the Moon were to start turning and reveal such a mechanical world appearance...
One might wonder how many people would go insane.
"Alright, alright, don’t just stand here foolishly; find a place to sit..." Gu Mo casually suggested, waving his hand and glancing around, "My humble abode is simple, so please don’t hold it against me. Shirotsubaki, could you help me... um, never mind, I’ll call the new head maid instead."
His gaze first fell upon Shirotsubaki, habitually wanting to ask her to help prepare and properly welcome the guests. But then he remembered something, sighed in some despondency, changed his mind on a whim, and planned to draw the head maid from the Fate World over.
The two artificial human maids who followed Ilya back then had also been upgraded to all-purpose puppets with no problem.
New, new head maid?
Shirotsubaki Sakuya had just been about to respond in agreement, but found that her former Master had abruptly changed his mind and revealed such a surprising piece of information, causing her to widen her eyes suddenly.
Then, as if receiving a blow, she became somewhat dejected.
"You have quite a big heart, aren’t you planning to chase after her?" At this moment, Yakumo Zi lightly put down her fan, asking with a somewhat inscrutable tone.
"Ah... Actually, I’ve already gone after her." Gu Mo blinked.
It’s not that he’s single-threaded; just because he’s standing here doesn’t mean he’s done nothing. Of course, he had long gone after the sulking Miss Tamamo no Mae.
The monster maiden half-closed her eyes, suddenly not wanting to talk anymore.
...
...
In the void.
The Moon slowly turned.
Just at this moment, the mechanized holy body, renovated using the Moon as a carrier within the real world, has already thoroughly completed its final steps... Thus, the final urban area has been assimilated and integrated, including the teleportation points previously set on it, leading the residents of Fantasy Land directly transferred to Penglai Island.
It is a mechanized super mind with unimaginable efficiency and computational abilities, and it can also be regarded as a satellite-level extinction type interstellar fortress.
Because it exhausts every effort to carry more intelligence, incorporating elements from celestial battleships too—
After all, Chaos, with a diameter starting from at least hundreds of millions of kilometers, showcased astronomical-level vastness and grandeur in Machine God’s visage, although temporarily unreachable as a dreamlike goal, Gu Mo might have other ideas... Although the "Ultimate Edition" cannot be created, the "Youth Edition" could always be attempted, right?
—Keep in mind, even the Death Star made by the Galactic Empire is just over a hundred kilometers in diameter...
—As is the prototype of the Titan Series Ship, roughly only tens to hundreds of kilometers...
The Moon, as Earth’s satellite, is a quarter of Earth’s diameter. This size might not count for much in the universe, but when primarily constructed as a mechanized super mind, there’s enough space to continue equipping other functionalities; choosing a starlight combat extinction-type mobile fortress seems quite fitting.
Even the legendary red quality Machine God Core from Zeus has been used here.
Gu Mo doesn’t plan to change his current bloodline enhancement, but since it can’t be used for the main body, giving it to a clone isn’t considered wasteful. After all, this is predictable as his most powerful future mechanized holy body will continue to be upgraded.
So, overall, it’s very worthwhile to invest.
He communicates with the Moon after its assimilation transformation, sincerely feeling the power of this step-by-step crafted mechanized holy body, understanding just how strong it is as a clone.
This is a super mind possessing god-like intelligence, even if currently it’s just the state of barely usable, but in reality, it stands level with the master database technology level of the Outer Universe civilization. Setting the goal too high leads to the perception of various flaws.
However, in reality, this satellite-sized mechanical body already exists beyond human intelligence.
The combat functions are difficult to test, but at this moment, it’s directly amplifying the current computational abilities of Gu Mo, who carries the human intelligence integration effect, multiple times over. In this instant, integrating the mountain of data and computational power, he seemed to have gained an illusion of perceiving everything.
Great, the mechanical ascension is also on track...
Along with his own mind power and the authority of control evolution, it seems he has a tendency to complete three paths of ascension.
