This Is Really Not Mechanical Ascension Chapter 1232

[ … words ]

The silent void rippled like water, and as the ripples grew stronger, a strange body gradually emerged.

Ink-like liquid slid off the rugged, dark cyan skin, coarse like meteorites, partially covered in translucent scales, as if obsidian and liquid metal had fused.

Below those slightly bewildered eyes, there were no traditional facial features, only a rhomboid energy core, deep blue as a black hole. Radiating cracks formed around it, and horn-like structures extended from the top of the head.

He floated upright, seemingly still receiving external information, his eyes gradually sharpening, standing about four meters tall. His torso was an inverted triangle, with muscles like forged steel, and his joints were covered with thick biological armor.

His palms were as large as heavy hammers, fingertips sharp like metal claws, legs thick as pillars with evident muscle structure.

His shoulders, elbows, and knees protruded with sharp, crystallized bone spurs, a fusion of mineral and flesh, possessing both defensive and offensive traits.

Beneath the dark cyan skin, there was a flow of dark red energy, resembling magma.

His back, along the spine, featured structures like breathing orifices, rhythmically flickering with azure and purple light, reflecting shattered stars around them.

“Tanwus…” A grand and vast voice echoed from nowhere.

The life form’s sharp gaze turned reverent, kneeling on one knee, his right hand resting on his left shoulder.

“Abyss Lord…” He uttered in an ancient phoneme, “Is it time to hunt again?”

“No… The active period has not yet arrived, and the suppression of the universe remains severe.”

This response left Tanwus slightly startled, his head slightly raised, “Then why have you awakened me?”

“There is something I need you to do.”

Tanwus grew more confused. Since he had submitted to the Abyss Lord, he had never received such an order.

Nonetheless, he replied with utmost respect, “Your command is my will.”

“Go to the Main Universe, find a life form, and bring him back to me.” The supreme will was injected into Tanwus’s mind.

Simultaneously, a scene accompanied, seemingly a battlefield, and his target, a life form with somewhat familiar characteristics, was amidst it.

“Remember his appearance, though he may have used a mimicry appearance. Once you enter the Main Universe, you can seek related information from several of the most powerful civilizations.”

“Remember, you must bring him back to me alive.”

The information conveyed by the Abyss Lord left Tanwus astonished.

He did not understand what was so special about this life form to earn the Abyss Lord’s attention.

In the past myriad of years, he had never seen the Abyss Lord so serious, relaying so much information at once.

“Yes.” Tanwus nodded, solemnly saying, “I will spare no expense to bring him back. Can you tell me his Life Level so I can prepare adequately?”

“Not yet at the level of ‘Abyss General’…”

The supreme will’s words almost made Tanwus lose composure. He exclaimed, “Such a low Life Level, then what makes him special enough for you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Tanwus felt an overwhelming pressure from all directions. His previously kneeling posture could no longer be maintained, and he was suppressed in the void.

“You only need to carry out my instruction.” The Abyss Lord coldly remarked.

“Under…stood…” Tanwus responded with difficulty, only then feeling his body relax.

“The suppression of the Main Universe remains heavy. If you were still at the Abyss King level, it would be difficult for me to send you into the Main Universe.”

As the Abyss Lord’s voice fell, Tanwus felt a tearing sensation within his body, the nearly invincible body slowly being torn apart, flesh and bones clearly visible.

Furthermore, black substances were being extracted from his body.

The rhomboid crystal on his head displayed cracks, his aura rapidly weakening until it reached a certain limit and stopped.

“I have temporarily injured you, dropping you to the Abyss General level, and extracted a portion of the Power of Eternal Abyss, just to barely send you into the Main Universe.”

Tanwus nodded with difficulty, the agony from his body teasing his nerves, yet his mind was unprecedentedly clear, even churning with some forbidden thoughts that startled him.

The Abyss Lord’s voice remained indifferent: “You can recover your injuries in the Main Universe, but if you fight in your full state, you will be rejected by the universe, remember that.”

“Understood.” Tanwus replied in a deep voice, yet noticed the void beside him rippling again.

Then a long blue-black trident appeared, flowing with black patterns wrapped in purple arcs.

“…Doomsday…” Tanwus looked at the trident floating before him, quite surprised.

“…Has an Abyss King perhaps emerged in the Main Universe?” he inquired.

“No…” The Abyss Lord dismissed his guess, “It’s just that some weapons from the previous Evolution Era’s civilization have survived into this Evolution Era. When you have not recovered, it’s likely something could go wrong.”

“The previous Evolution Era? Titan…” Tanwus paused, and then some realization dawned, “That life form earlier was very similar to a Titan.”

“The Titans of the previous era were indeed formidable opponents.” He couldn’t help feeling a bit nostalgic, but quickly restrained himself as such emotion was inappropriate.

“One more thing.” The Abyss Lord emphasized at last, with Tanwus clutching the trident named Doomsday, earnestly listening.

The vast will weighed down, “Do not interfere with the normal evolution of this era, and do not have any other thoughts. I know the extraction of the Power of Eternal Abyss has given rise to some uncontrollable thoughts in you.”
