"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?" Gen's figure quickly shuttled through the dense trees. The bone sword in his hand kept cutting through the tall grass to create a path. The sight ahead was dark, and there was a forest nearby.

This undeveloped dense forest has no mineral resources, so people from the Aniya Territory have never set foot here. Most of the trees growing in it are Eucalyptus trees, with a thick layer of flammable resin on their surfaces.

, but the interior is very resistant to high temperatures. Every time a wildfire spreads, these eucalyptus trees are accomplices in the fire. They burn all the surrounding plants so that only their own kind can survive.

This kind of tree material is not hard enough and contains trace amounts of toxins, making it useless to humans, so no one will develop them.

"Why did I lie to you? That bastard of the Faceless Cult Leader provoked me first, and now I'm at odds with them!" Big Eyes shouted angrily.

"It only took less than an hour for you to go from being at odds with me to defecting. Guys like you are really untrustworthy." Genn didn't know how to express his helplessness.

"You can't trust people in terms of their abilities. It's good to be able to stand together because of interests. Ah, having said that, I'm not a human being." The big eyes laughed loudly, because it had no belly and was covering it.

The bulging part of the eye.

"I don't think so. I have a group of very reliable companions. People like you won't understand."

"Really? It's just because you work for the same force, you have a common belonging, and there are some boring emotional sustenance between humans. These are also interests, aren't they? In your human terms, it is called spiritual wealth. If you are forced

Can two people belonging to different forces still trust each other?" Big Eyes sneered at this, but Gen didn't reply. He didn't know if his secrets were made public...whether others would still stand on his side.

The two walked through layers of dense black forest. These trees had already fallen into a thick layer of volcanic ash. Looking at the Fire Island Volcano from here, they could already see the fiery red "devil's smile".

"Hey, you said the stronghold is near here. Where is it? Why haven't you seen it yet?" Gen's patience was almost exhausted. He didn't have much time. He had to save time by following the planned route in order to deal with those things in time.

machine, otherwise the volcano will really erupt.

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon." Big Eyes said as he took out two shining balls from his arms and threw them forward.

Two blue fireballs turned into two huge fire lotus flowers in the sky and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

"What tricks do you want to play again?" Genn immediately became nervous. The big eyes are an extremely cunning and abnormal creature, and he cannot let down his guard against it at any time.

Seeing Gen's nervous look, Big Eyes just laughed and said: "Don't get excited, I won't hurt you, look..."

A hole suddenly appeared in the dense forest in the distance. A group of faceless cultists wearing flaming red capes came out and knelt respectfully in front of the two of them. Genn drew his sword and originally wanted to attack, but seeing these

The person doesn't seem to be hostile.

"That brainless new leader didn't cancel my authority. No, it seems that he only canceled part of it. He didn't know that I was dead and I could still control my original subordinates. It's great." Big eyes looked at these faceless people.

The cultist made a command gesture, and those people opened a secret door to let Gen and others in.

"This stronghold is taken over by my people. Lingdong's people have been sent to the front line. Thanks to your friends, you can lure them away. Feel free to go in. Welcome to visit." Big Eyes walked to the door with his hands behind his back.

He made a gesture of bowing to Gen to come in.

Genn was still on guard against that guy, but he was pressed for time and didn't care too much. Before entering, he tied his big eyes with the shadow binding technique, and then he jumped from the door with confidence.

As soon as he entered, he felt an overwhelming high temperature. Genn used his shadow to protect himself from the heat wave. Sure enough, there was a similarly weird instrument down there. It was using full power to sweep the strata with lasers to stir up the magma and extract the magma from it.

Those extremely fine powders, those seemingly inconspicuous silver dusts are the remnants of the Ash King's power, which contain the terrifying power from the Original One.

"I thought very simply at the time. It's not easy to move this big thing..." As Gen got closer, he realized how huge this instrument was. The four pillars inserted into the magma were as thick as century-old trees.

, the whole body is made of jet black unknown metal,

These metal dusts contained powerful energy, and they emitted a dazzling golden light. Genn could feel the familiar power contained within them.

"boom!"

As soon as Gen got close to the instrument, he felt a dull sound, and then the whole earth shook violently. A circle of ripples spread out in all directions with the instrument as the center. This circle of fluctuations was very violent, with a diameter of tens of meters on the surface.

Deep grooves were opened and sunken on both sides. The ground was shaking violently, as if it might collapse at any time.

It is already not easy to get close to the machine, let alone correct and change its direction. Genn reached out and opened a cover at the back of the machine, revealing a set of extremely complicated operating levers with various markings on them.

I know what era the ancient text comes from, but I don't know how to adjust it.

This action alone made Gen out of breath, and the hand that touched the lid felt like a burn. It would be great if he could bring Yoel. That guy might know a way, after all.

He can be considered an expert on guides and so on, but now that guy has also lost contact, and he can only rely on Gen to explore everything.

Genn took out a ceremonial dagger, which he seized from the faceless cultists. The originally tough dagger quickly dissolved into a puddle of molten steel as soon as it touched the surface of the machine. You can imagine this thing

The temperature was so high that Gen was suddenly at a loss what to do, but there was no way to continue wasting time here.

"The Forge... The Day Forge of the Lord of Ashes has the heat as powerful as a star. It melts and creates all inanimate matter in the world..."

Sigma's words were recalled in Gen's mind. Not long ago, Gen tried the second level of the Star Gate and used it to directly destroy the big-eyed lava demon puppet. To be precise, it was not to destroy... but to destroy it...

It breaks down.

All the machines in the world are assembled from small parts. If you don't know how to operate them, you can try to change them essentially, just like... taking them apart and then reassembling them. As a child, Gern didn't know how.

This method is often used to cheat when playing Rubik's Cube.

"Okay, then let me cheat again." Gen pointed his hand at the machine, and the familiar orange light emitted from his hand again. The air here was filled with the remnants of the Ash King's power, urging it to move.

The Stargate Forge has natural catalysts, and Gern quickly found the feeling.

It's like thinking about how to forge a good sword in an extremely hot blacksmith's workshop. The flames, anvils, high temperatures, and bellows are all natural inspirations. Even a novice can figure out some mysterious feelings.

"Gate of Darkness! Type 2! Forge!" Genn concentrated on imagining the machine lying sideways. The orange light in his hand quickly spread out and enveloped the entire machine.

Then nothing happened. Genn put away his technique and breathed in the hot air to regain his strength. The sweat on his face kept dripping and then evaporated in an instant. Quickly, there was no change in the machine... What happened?

Is my spell not proficient enough? Just like using Esperanto before, there is a very small probability that it can be successfully effective. Is it just an explosion of potential in critical moments? Or is this machine itself immune to the power of the Ash King? After all, it seems to be

Specifically designed to harvest these powers.

No matter what the reason was, Genn was extremely depressed now. He punched the ground hard, his heart beating wildly as if it was going to explode, constantly hitting his chest.

"Obviously this is the only way..." Angrily, Genn hammered the ground with all his strength. The already fragile ground was shattered by his smash, and the soil that was baked into charcoal fell on him.

This mission is related to the people of the entire Arnia Territory, and if the Faceless Man is allowed to get the secret of the Ash King, who knows what kind of consequences it will have. If the big eyes are not lying... the Faceless Man

The reason for the recent frequent activities is because of the seizure of power. A more fanatical and powerful guy killed the old leader and successfully seized power. The new leader is expanding his power and satisfying his ambitions. Such a guy must not be allowed to get the original

the power of the person.

What's more, this mission is not only an investigation of Jane, but also an investigation of Gen himself.

"They are suspicious of you." Instructor Vermeer quietly whispered to Genn before setting off. He seemed to have made a lot of determination and gave Genn the greatest trust. "The senior management of the college has always suspected that you are from a certain organization.

Spy, so Ji Lucong has always insisted that you lead the team. If the mission fails, you will all be surrendered. I have received orders to monitor you from the day you entered school..."

After a year of investigation, it is clear that Vermeer has a lot of trust in Genn, but the facts determine everything. If the mission is messed up, it will definitely increase the suspicion on himself. Genn himself... Vicki and others around him will be infected.

Suspicion, this is what Genn does not want to see anyway.

"Click!" Just when Gen had a severe headache, the machine in front of him suddenly moved. The four pillars supporting it began to shift, and then changed direction little by little, twisting the bottom of the machine in one direction.

"Bang!"
Chapter completed!
