Chapter 536 Change of Situation
The damage dealt to the underground hall by two Second Grade powerhouses fighting with all they had was incredibly obvious.
The giant brain hovered high above the space furnace, his potent Spirit keeping full sight over every development of the events happening in the room. He might have advanced into a Third Grade monster, but his innate talents made him unsuited for direct conflict. He could only mostly use his massive Spirit for assimilating alchemical and engineered magical machines.
Mechanical Adept Sabrina hadn’t been weak at all. She had only happened to be countered by the giant brain’s innate ability due to her existence being an alternative kind of alchemical lifeform. That was why she had been assimilated by Gazlowe without much resistance and turned into a pawn to be used against Greem.
In comparison, the magical machine that Tigule piloted might have been assimilated, but he had still possessed independent will. He had been able to escape from the control of the magical machine after it had been destroyed.
At the moment, goblin soldiers were running all over the Steel Capital. The magical machines and goblin chariots that had fought by their sides a moment ago were now chasing behind them.
In fact, in rural corners hidden from the eyes of the goblins, something even more sinister was going on inside one of the Steel Capital’s goblin chariot factories. A massive surge of magic energy poured into the place, causing all the engineering machines to start bustling about and working. Several metal ingots of various colors and traits were placed onto the conveyor belt. Over a hundred mechanical arms moved about and performed their work as these ingots moved down the belt. The arms were mysteriously piecing these pieces together and turning them into functional goblin chariots.
These goblin chariots needed no driver or gunner. All of the magical machines were outfitted with a consciousness-amplifying module and an automated control module. They could constantly receive the unique consciousness flux sent from Giant Brain Gazlowe.
The only reason he had allowed the adepts and the dragonborn to continue their fight in the hall was that he believed that neither party was a genuine threat to him. All of the adepts and dragonborn added together could not compare to the threat that the evil witch posed to him.
Now the Third Grade thunder dragon intended to march toward the underground hall. That was something that Giant Brain Gazlowe couldn’t tolerate!
It was a Third Grade dragon!
If Arms managed to break into the hall, he would easily be able to defeat a newly advanced Third Grade weakling like Gazlowe with his dragon powers. When that happened, Gazlowe would not have any chance of escaping or defending himself. His enemy would truly hold his life in their hands!
As such, Gazlowe had no choice but to send a killing order to all the magical machines in the Steel Capital, even if the conditions weren’t ripe. The giant brain also connected with Greem’s mind and started discussing their plan to deal with the dragonborn.
…………
An exceptionally brutal battle erupted in the extensive underground tunnels!
Third Grade Arms hadn’t made it far out of the planar hall before being swarmed by a flood of goblin chariots, magical machines, and magic mechs.
Only two magical machines could fight side-by-side in this tunnel that was no more than ten meters in height and seven meters in width. Moreover, both parties were only using melee attacks in the fight due to the limited space available.
The dragonborn still sustained unavoidable wounds, even though they were superior to the machines in both bodily strength and combat techniques.
After all, the magic energy weapons equipped on the magical machines could be used at both close and mid range!
Two dragonborn stood side by side and clashed with two magical machines at melee distance. They were able to crush the machines into pieces with their raw power, but two more machines charged forth before they could even take a breath.
