Chapter 245 - Galaxy: Deus Ex Machina

A dazzling and dangerous golden light shot out from the ground, like a huge light gun, shooting towards the mechanical giant whose body was dozens of meters tall.

Buzz!

The mechanical structures that crisscrossed and surrounded the mechanical giant like star rings were united together, and like universal parts, they were pieced together and assembled into squid-like mechanical bodies.

The tentacles of these mechanical bodies glowed with a star-like purple, like the stars in the night sky, bright and dazzling. The light was faint, but it had a special attraction, even concealing their bodies in the purple starlight.

Just like a squid spraying ink in the sea, these purple starlights are like ink that sprays out to eliminate its traces, bring it safety and make it disappear.

Pieces of purple starlight connected to form a sea of ​​stars, shining brightly.

Before the golden beam could reach the mechanical giant, it was blocked by the abruptly rising sea of ​​stars. The dangerous, blinding light collided with the starry sea's barrier, like a boulder thrown into the ocean, quickly swallowed up.

Circles of explosive light blazed repeatedly across the starry sea barrier, only to be met by countless mechanical squids swarming in to block it. The starlight was so dense that it formed a purple barrier that was indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Accuser Ronan took two steps back with a grim expression, dodging the reflected golden beam as if foreknowledge had occurred. He hadn't expected his attack to be so easily blocked.

General Grievous on the other side had disappeared long ago. When he reappeared, he had quietly circled behind the mechanical giant. He swung the [Peerless Blade] in his hand forward, and several mechanical squids that were blocking him were instantly cut into two pieces without any resistance.

Under his weaponry, few materials in the universe could escape his slicing and piercing. Forget a swarm of squids; even a battleship, a civilization's ultimate industrial masterpiece, couldn't withstand the slicing of his peerless blade.

Then, he chopped the back of the huge body of the mechanical giant with a knife.

Slurp!

A teeth-grinding friction sound accompanied by sparks caused General Corvus Glaive, who had confidently struck out with his blade, to stumble and collide with the giant's body. Even at this moment, he still felt a sense of disbelief and confusion.

No defense broken?

Impossible!

General Corvus Glaive believed that there must be material existence in this universe that could fight against his peerless blade, but he could not accept that the mechanical giant in front of him, which looked like a piece of scrap metal assembled together, could make his peerless blade unable to penetrate!

It can't be harder than the artifacts in the universe, right?

Although the feel and contact at this moment gave him a vague sense of familiarity, as if he had come into contact with this material before.

Dense webs of nanomaterials snaked through the air, swiftly and rapidly swooping down on General Corvus Glaive. Corvus Glaive dashed left and right, harnessing the power and sharpness of his peerless blade. Only after paying the price of bloodstains all over his body and losing half his arm did he finally escape the encirclement of the nanorope snakes.

The superstar cast a questioning look at the defeated General Corvus Glaive.

"There's something wrong with his body material!" General Grievous said gritting his teeth as his injuries healed rapidly while facing the Supergiant's questioning gaze.

Especially considering the opponent's seemingly bulky form, its countermeasures and counterattacks were astonishingly swift. The switch between offense and defense occurred almost instantly. While the nanorope snakes couldn't withstand the slashing blows of the peerless blade, the touch and feel of his blades could still be felt with a distinct lag. Clearly, the materials the opponent had materialized were of extraordinary quality. While they might not be sufficient for crafting a divine artifact, they were more than sufficient for a material less than divine.

This kind of metal is rare even in the universe. Yet, the sheer number of them before him was so dense that it made his eyes blaze with fear! If the mechanical constructs were made of the same metal, and if there was a massive giant tens of meters tall, he would be even more astonished.

As one of Thanos's Black Order generals, Corvus Glaive isn't a mindless warrior who only knows how to rely on his strength to rush in and kill. He's well-versed in literature and, relying on his master, Thanos, he knows many unknown secrets and powerful forces in the universe. After a simple assessment of his own strength, realizing he might not be able to crush and defeat the mechanical giant with his own strength alone, he began to use his other thoughts and began to observe and scan the mechanical giant's body.

He gestured to Superstar to try using her abilities.

As the master of the mind among the Obsidian Five, Supergiant's abilities are somewhat similar to those of Ebony Maw, who is good at bewitching and interrogating, but in terms of the strength of his abilities, he is far more powerful than Ebony Maw.

Although her frontal combat capability may not be as good as his and his wife Proxima Midnight, once her mind manipulation ability is used, the entire Obsidian Five are unwilling to face such a master of the mind.

"No, those divinely-mechanized warriors and this giant are both protected by a thick mental barrier. Without any unexpected events, my ability won't be able to directly produce any effect." Superstar shook her head. She had already used her abilities after Letari appeared, but her mental fluctuations, when they reached Letari, were like a stone sinking into the ocean, with no response or ripple.

The other party's consciousness was like a black hole, constantly devouring the spiritual power she invested in it, but she could never reach the core of the other party's soul consciousness. From that moment on, she knew that her invincible ability might not play a decisive role this time.

"You are already the top spiritual master in the universe." General Corvus Glaive looked at Supergiant with another kind of surprise in his eyes.

"It's the Mind Stone!" Supergiant took a deep breath. "My master once used the Mind Stone to expand my mind and abilities, and I learned a great deal of hidden knowledge related to the mind and spirit from it. Therefore, I am very familiar with the energy fluctuations of the Mind Stone. They possess a power similar to that of the Mind Stone. Although the energy frequency is slightly different from what I remember, it should be from the same source."

"You mean, the Mind Gem is in the body of the mysterious master behind the Mechanical Divine?" General Grievous instantly thought of more things. Looking at the slowly moving mechanical giant, a terrifying thought arose in his mind.

"The other party is also collecting Infinity Stones?!"

"The Infinity Stones belong to the Master. We must return them to the Master." The Supergiant could feel the pressure of the Mechanical Giant, her mind and her sense of danger frantically warning her. But she didn't fear death; she even embraced it. So, instead of fleeing or dodging, she used her mind to control the surrounding matter, transforming it into the purest weapon, and launched it at the Giant like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.

For a powerful person of her level of strength, a metal spear thrown casually has the same lethality and power as the technological weapons of mass destruction of some civilizations.

And she can get materials from anywhere.

However, her attack was doomed to be in vain. Any attack that wanted to reach the mechanical giant had to first explode the mechanical structures in front of him. Even if the mechanical structures were exploded and a loophole appeared in them for a moment, your attack would not necessarily cause any damage to the mechanical giant.

General Corvus Glaive can attest to this.

"I remember now. His outer shell resembles Asgard's Uru-gold." Corvus Glaive finally understood the source of that familiar feeling. It was Uru-gold, a precious metal similar to that of Asgard, or perhaps even the Nine Realms! It was a rare and precious material in the universe, capable of forging divine artifacts!

This material was practically unavailable in the universe, only being granted to the dwarves of Asgard for use in forging artifacts. Even his master, Thanos, the ultimate overlord of the universe, possessed only a small amount of this metal. According to his memory, this Uru-gold, even in Asgard, was extremely precious, a rare material that could not be wasted carelessly.

But what is this?

A mechanical giant assembled from the entire Uru Divine Gold?

Even if it is just a skin, it is a huge waste and a loss of money!

General Grievous' eyes turned red.

Uru Gold isn't particularly strong. Corvus Glaive once used his Peerless Blade to chop at the little Uru Gold Thanos had collected, but its strength couldn't withstand the blow. According to records, Uru Gold's greatest characteristic is that it can be enchanted, imbuing it with properties and powers beyond the material itself!

This mechanical giant must have been enchanted with mysterious powers such as solidity and defense, giving it indestructible properties, so it was able to block his peerless blade.

Suddenly, General Grievous felt a strong threat of death. He looked subconsciously and saw that the mechanical giant was holding a long-handled hammer in his hand. The hammer emitted a strong purple halo from the inside. As the mechanical giant swung the hammer, it brought a whistling wind and quickly closed the distance with them.

"Run!" General Corvus Glaive only managed a single, rasping cry before he vanished from sight. He had only ever felt this sense of peril, oppression, and death from his own immensely powerful master. With just one glance, he realized the vast disparity in strength between him and his opponent. He lacked the confidence to even withstand the blow.

Without Corvus Glaive saying anything, Superstar and Ronan had already begun their escape, each using their own abilities. Their only annoyance now was that the surrounding space had been disrupted and blocked, preventing them from evading by moving through space.
