10. Remove armor? Mechanical Saintess [2-in-1]
The soft, slender iron wires, like vines, coiled upwards, quickly wrapping around Wendell's arms and wrists, skillfully locking the muscles and joints that enabled her to swing her sword.
At the same time, Roya decisively reached out his other hand and grabbed Wendell's right hand, which was clad in armor and gripping the hilt of his sword.
His consciousness, like the finest mesh probe, forcefully penetrated the point of contact between the metal and the skin!
Only then did they discover that the soft armor switch inside Wendell's right hand armor, which sealed off his supernatural abilities, had already been breached by the uncontrolled blood energy...
This is a scale-like biomaterial that controls the normal flow of blood and qi and blocks uncontrolled blood and qi. It has long been integrated with the flesh and blood of Wendell's wrist and is indistinguishable from it.
At this moment, the soft armor switch is broken, not turned off.
As a result, Roya was unable to directly control the blood energy switch and shut it down through mechanical connection capabilities.
"Manual operation only!"
Luo made a quick decision, holding his breath and concentrating intently.
He channeled his mind into the neural remains of the horsehair worm, immediately controlling the main thread of the horsehair worm to penetrate Wendell's right-hand armor.
Trying to mend the shattered soft nails...
It's much easier than sewing up the whale carcass with a rein last time.
As if it had gained an extra tentacle, Roya used iron wire to connect the shattered pieces of soft armor.
Time passed by, second by second!
Fifteen minutes later.
Luo Ya finally stitched up the soft armor, barely forming a complete blood energy switch, and resealed the out-of-control black blood energy.
Although the physically stitched soft armor switch was very fragile, it barely withstood the impact of the black blood energy.
Gradually, the raging black patterns in Wendell's eyes receded like the tide, slowly dissipating...
A pair of dazzling golden pupils, like two rays of sunlight piercing through dark clouds, rekindled the light in the depths of her eyes.
However, the golden light in his eyes lasted only a moment before quickly dimming, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"puff……"
A mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth without warning, staining the moss covering the difference engine red.
The iron sword slipped from his hand.
It landed with a clatter!
With his arms bound by iron wire, Wendell seemed to have his last bit of strength drained away. His body went limp, he lost his balance, and unconsciously fell into Roya's arms.
"Again?"
Roya felt it was necessary to confront the side effects of Wendell.
Especially when Wendell, clad in heavy steam-powered armor, came crashing down on them like a tidal wave!
Luo Ya didn't have the strength to dodge.
Using the remains of the horsehair worm as tentacles, the auxiliary power of the steam-powered flying armor was quickly activated through mechanical connection.
Using a steam-powered flying armor, the speed and angle at which Wendell falls are precisely controlled, allowing him to gently lie down on the gondola and peacefully fall asleep.
Luo Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
He took another breath...
He smacked his lips.
This tastes wrong.
"poisonous!"
Without Wendell's wind barrier, the dense hallucinogenic fog quickly engulfed Roya.
"Damn it, wasn't it agreed that you were in charge of air quality?!"
Roya overestimated Wendell's reliability.
He perfectly countered the mental attack by the horsehair worms, but Wendell messed up.
You need me so much!
Before holding his breath, Roya blew a loud whistle.
[Receives voice control signal and executes differential unit preset command: Combustion ignition.]
The blue dragonfly, which had been lying in ambush, immediately activated its flamethrower, burning all the burning spirits within its sight.
Including the remnants of mushroom roots on Colonel Rogge's back.
This was the only way for Roya to eliminate the dual dangers of Colonel Rogge and the hallucinogenic fumes.
Soon, the mushrooms and hallucinogenic fumes inside the cave were burned to ashes by the blue dragonfly's flamethrower.
call……
Luo Ya took a deep breath.
He suddenly couldn't breathe!
He then realized with a start that in the sealed cave, as the mushrooms and poisonous fog burned out, the oxygen was also depleted...
In just a moment, Roya nearly suffocated.
"Oh no!"
The Blue Dragonfly machine has a spare oxygen tank inside!
Alternatively, the blue dragonfly could force open the stone door, letting in the outside breeze...
The problem is that Roya, who is almost suffocating, can't even whistle!
The aura of death surged forth like a tidal wave...
Damn it, I've solved all the problems, defeated all the powerful enemies, and won so many times that I'm numb with success, and now I'm going to die from suffocation?
In despair!
He thought again of Wendell, who had promised to take charge of the air.
Luo Ya looked down.
Lying inside the flying armor, Wendell looked like Sleeping Beauty, his chest rising and falling, emitting rhythmic snores...
I'll fight you to the death, and you'll be sleeping soundly!
Luo Ya was so angry that he was desperate.
etc--
Where did you get your oxygen?
The wind is still, it's the wind!
If you look closely, Wendell's lips and teeth are tightly closed; he is not inhaling.
However, those aloof, tightly closed nostrils were exhaling in a very rhythmic manner...
It seems to be a kind of self-breathing through the internal circulation of blood and qi.
"If you've agreed to be responsible for the air quality, you have to see it through to the end!"
Luo Ya didn't care about anything else, and boldly leaned down, prying open her lips and teeth in one bite.
suddenly.
A north wind caresses the face, nourishing the land for miles.
……
At some point, Luo Ya's consciousness began to sink into the oxygen-deprived swamp.
On the verge of annihilation, at the edge of nothingness, suddenly, his five senses entered a silver ocean shrouded in mist, and he floated on the surface of the sea.
A holy golden light tore through the fog above the sea!
At the core of the flowing holy light, a naked, voluptuous blonde woman, bathed in light, solidified and took shape, slowly walking towards Roya on invisible steps.
A cluster of mechanical flowers inlaid with countless gears and a golden snake formed by twisting copper pipes cover the private parts of a naked woman.
Time flows by with the golden light.
The woman, with a halo above her head, like an angel, hovered low in the air before Roya, who looked up at her, unable to reach her.
Roya raised his heavy head and looked up at the blazing holy light.
An indescribable, boundless, and tender love, like a warm tide, gradually overwhelmed Luo Ya's remaining consciousness and dispelled the fear brought on by suffocation.
In his confused state, he murmured something.
"So beautiful..."
Her cascading golden hair moved without wind, like the soft glow of burning phlogiston.
Her bare upper body had full, smooth, and sacred lines, and her snow-white skin had a warm, pearly luster.
A slender golden snake, twisted from copper tubing, coiled gently between her slender waist and long legs, its head resting peacefully on her shoulder.
The gear-shaped flower clusters, concealing sensitive areas, appear to be formed from steel and engine oil, exuding a captivating phlogiston fragrance.
Luo Ya always believed that he did not have any sexual fetishes.
Great, we have it now.
In Roja's view, the woman's tall, voluptuous figure was similar to Wendell's, but her facial features appeared blurry and unfamiliar.
In a daze, Luo Ya saw a pair of eyes that reflected endless flowers, breathtakingly beautiful and not to be defiled.
Compared to Wendell, who presented a cold and aloof demeanor, the woman before him seemed to possess a gentleness that embraced all things and melted away the hardest ice, carrying a maternal warmth that could easily smooth out the deepest wrinkles of the soul and accept all the fragility and unbearable aspects of the world.
Luo Ya guessed that he was in a near-death state due to the combined pressure of hallucinogenic toxins and suffocation.
The woman before him seemed to be Wendell incarnate, sent to save him.
"You are...?"
"Congratulations, young man, your kiss has awakened the great mechanical saintess Ishtar!"
The blonde goddess smiled slightly, her voice like the harmony of a harp and a wind chime, each word carrying a strange mechanical rhythm that rippled through the mist.
Luo Ya suddenly became alert.
Who is Ishtar?
He only knows Wendell!
Strangers shouldn't appear in a dying dream...
Saintess, generally referring specifically to the twelve saints of the Church of the Holy Spirit.
Their titles are all very mysterious.
How did the mechanical saintess appear in his dying dream?
"And where is Wendell?"
"You are currently in Wendell's dream. Wendell is my alias, and Ishtar is my dormant true self. You have awakened me."
"You've got it wrong. I need you to wake me up and save me, not the other way around!"
"Our meeting is a choice of the highest destiny. I will become your partner and help you awaken the most powerful extraordinary ability, so that you will no longer have to take risks."
Luo Ya felt that every word the woman said resonated with him.
Wendell is sometimes aloof, sometimes sarcastic; he could never be this gentle, mechanical type...
Mechanical connection, start!
In an instant, his divine sense enveloped the steam-powered flying armor controlled by Wendell and the gauntlet on his right hand.
He saw that Wendell's blood energy was violently impacting the scale switches he had just stitched up...
The stitches groaned under the strain, and a few tiny sparks of electricity flickered and danced at the junction of metal and flesh, as if it were about to completely disintegrate at any moment.
Luo Ya understood.
What he was seeing was not his dying dream, but the other side that Wendell had been suppressing.
He was indeed pulled into Wendell's dream, but the dream's owner was not Wendell.
Looking at the slender golden snake coiled around the woman's body, he understood why Wendell hated snake-like creatures and why his mind was affected by the shadow of seaweed...
Coincidentally, Roya wasn't particularly satisfied with Wendell either.
Too indifferent, yet adventurous, and prone to losing control...
He likes gentle, family-oriented women.
Having more friends means having more options!
He asked with excitement and reverence:
"When you say 'partner,' do you mean a teammate, or...?"
The tenderness in Ishtar's eyes instantly turned direct and seductive. She slightly opened her arms and spoke softly:
"A soulmate, or even more, is what you deserve, and it's your destiny."
In reality, Luo Ya didn't really believe in such a good thing.
But considering he was in a dream, he could be a little more unrestrained.
"Great Ishtar, what do you need me to do?"
Ishtar's eyes flickered, her pupils condensing into layers upon layers of unfathomable red flowers.
"Take off Wendell's clothes and do what you're supposed to do."
Luo Ya was slightly taken aback, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly asked:
"Do we have to take off the armor too?"
"certainly."
Ishtar's answer was resolute, carrying an air of unquestionable authority.
Worried about frightening Roya, she quickly added gently:
"I am the Mechanical Saintess. You have no need to be afraid of me. If I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't be alive today."
Luo Ya felt that taking off his clothes was fine, but removing his armor was still too early.
Besides, the mechanical saintess can't remove her armor, making it too difficult to maintain.
"I'm a slow-burning man, can you give me some time?"
Ishtar frowned slightly.
Beneath that sacred gentleness, a hint of impatience seemed to flicker.
But it was quickly overshadowed by a holy and elegant demeanor.
She drifted closer forward.
The cascading golden hair, the mechanical flowers, and the holy light emanating from the copper tubes and golden snakes almost enveloped Roya.
"Wendel is a fragment of my soul, and also a shackle. She is indifferent by nature and willing to become a demon to save the world. One day she will kill you... You are the one destined to break free of these shackles. As long as you remove her armor and help me regain my former power, we will reach the Land of True Dragons in just one day!"
Roya thought to himself, "Wendel's body has been corrupted by demons, yet he can still retain such a pure heart..."
She has such a kind heart!
"Arriving in the Land of the True Dragon in a day? That's so boring. Compared to the result, I value the process more. In Eastern narratives, this is called a journey of self-cultivation through eighty-one tribulations."
"There's no time for you to enjoy the process, Roya!"
A crack appeared in Ishtar's gentle mask, and her tone carried a hint of icy intimidation.
"You have desecrated my sacred and inviolable purity. Once Wendell awakens, it will be your death... Only I, the Mecha Saintess Ishtar, can save you."
The more anxious Ishtar became, the calmer Roya remained.
"Why did you choose me, great mechanical saintess? What do you need me to do?"
"Only you can remove this armor... Perhaps someone in this world can break it with force, but only you can remove it without harming my body!"
Ishtar seemed annoyed by the questions; a fleeting, unnatural expression crossed her holy, indistinct face, only to be quickly covered by perfect composure.
Luo Ya knew his own limitations very well.
In reality, the armor was connected to Wendell's flesh and blood, and their blood and energy were fused together. He could not completely break through the mechanical connection. This time, he relied on the iron worm corpses to indirectly stitch it together.
"That's strange. Is there something special about me?"
Fuck you!
You're handsome, isn't that enough?
Beneath Ishtar's flawless, holy face, a silent roar emanated from the depths of her soul.
As for why Wendell chose this ordinary-looking Eastern boy, it was one of the very few secrets that she was unable to see because her soul had taken over this body and her remaining instinctive will had forcibly shielded it at the cost of her life.
Only today did she witness for the first time the abilities Roya displayed—
They precisely located the key dragon scale within Wendell's gauntlet, bypassed Wendell's blood energy restriction spell, and perfectly stitched together the broken dragon scale simply by controlling the remains of the horsehair worm into the gauntlet.
This ability itself may not be earth-shattering.
But for Wendell, it was truly unique!
Ishtar coughed lightly twice to cover up her true feelings, quickly regaining her majestic, holy, and gentle demeanor.
"Ahem, it's fate, beyond words. Unfasten my armor and embrace destiny, young man!"
Luo Ya always felt that the goddess in front of him was a stereotypical image of a goddess, like a soulless replica.
Even so, guided by the Holy Spirit's philosophy of making many friends, Roya decided to give her a chance.
"Since you say you are my destined partner, is it alright if I don't remove the armor, but only remove other parts?"
"..."
The holy light on Ishtar's face froze instantly.
Like a crack suddenly appearing on exquisite porcelain, that perfect expression showed obvious signs of collapse for the first time.
Shock, disbelief, and then a raging fire gathered in the dazzling flowers in his eyes.
Luo Ya shook his head helplessly:
"See, you're in such a hurry again... I'm just a slow starter, aren't I? How about I remove all those mechanical flowers and brass tubes and golden snakes from your body first, and we'll have a Platonic love affair in this dream!"
Ishtar's holy face instantly turned black, and the holy light twisted into a swirling black mist.
Black mist permeated the flowers and golden snakes, rapidly spreading throughout the body until it permeated the entire dream.
She huddled up.
The long-brewing, intense humiliation and indignation at being mocked by ants burst forth from Ishtar's mouth with a piercing scream, like a thousand shattered crystals.
"roll!"
