Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

”So, this Flame Pass has a ’Cloning Hall,’ some agreements with big corporations, and a large-scale antigravity lift platform.”

After translating the words of the Double-headed High Priest into layman’s terms, Gao Gong concluded that the technology in this research institute should be related to ’Alien Immigrants.’

”Then, why did this General Quel you mentioned fall out with the ’Deity’?”

The Double-headed Priest hesitated for a moment and said, ”It’s said to be related to the Divine Child.”

”Divine Child?”

”All the Flame Boys are Children of the Deity, but only the ones who can best inherit the ’God’s’ talents receive the Divine’s favor.”

”However, the Divine’s bloodline seems to carry a curse. Each Divine Child has a significant flaw. The God tried many ways, but none worked. Finally, those foreign Gods suggested making those ’Divine Children’ consume their mothers to counteract their curse.”

”General Quel opposed the idea and fled with the Divine’s consorts, but the God imprisoned them.”

”What about those Divine Consorts?” Huang Wen asked.

”Most Divine Consorts were spoils of the Divine, while others were tributes from other forces. They served as perfect fertility tools, with their offsprings with the Deity continually sent to the Great Hall of Fertility to produce Flame Boys.”

Gao Gong and Huang Wen exchanged a glance, meaning those Flame Boys were essentially genetic copies of the Divine Child.

”What about those foreign Deities?”

”That, I don’t know. Whenever the God met them, we were always dismissed beforehand.”

”What is General Quel’s reputation?”

”Before the incident, General Quel was considered the Deity’s right-hand man and held high prestige.”

After confirming with the ’Eye of Truth’ that the other party wasn’t lying, Gao Gong had him taken back.

Gao Gong frowned and pondered.

Huang Wen thought for a while and said, ”Should we send someone to contact the insiders, assassinate the ’Deity,’ and then support General Quel in taking the position?”

”I don’t think it’s that simple,” Gao Gong exhaled, ”If that ’Deity’ is merely an indigenous lunatic, how could he manipulate those cloning machines.”

”Boss, do you mean—”

”Either they’re pretending to be crazy, like Professor Han, or their partners, those ’foreign Deities,’ are assisting them.”

”I’ll go myself.”

Gao Gong paused and said, ”By the way, what about Valkyrie? Didn’t I give her a strict order to follow your words?”

Huang Wen smiled helplessly, ”I need to be able to speak first. At night, while I was sleeping, she taped my mouth shut and disappeared the next day.”

Gao Gong twitched his mouth; this truly was an unforeseen path.

”Didn’t you send someone to find her?”

”I did, found her.”

”Where is she?”

Huang Wen pointed to the mechanical dam in the darkness, ”Inside there.”

...

Inside Flame Pass, there was unrest.

Though the main force of the Flame Motorcycle Faction was of the ’God’s’ lineage, over the years of expansion, they had also annexed many smaller groups. When the Motorcycle Faction was formidable, these smaller factions didn’t dare to dissent, but today’s battle left most of the Flame Boys’ main force injured, and even the ’Deity’ returned heavily wounded, sparking their ambitions.

”I heard the leader of that new rising force is a Mechanical Hunter.”

Many turned their eyes to a burly man with a buzz cut, who was recently appointed as the ’Mighty God,’ and before being annexed, he was a leader of the Mechanical Hunters near Flame Pass.

The ’Mighty God’ cursed inwardly, do you really think that all Mechanical Hunters are united? If you want to test that monster, don’t push me out there.

With righteous words, the ’Mighty God’ said, ”Now that the Deity is severely injured, we should defend the Divine Kingdom more than ever to prevent enemy invasions. We must not entertain wild thoughts.”

The ’Mighty God’ then shifted his words, ”God of Commerce and Trade, you have many contacts. What do you think about this matter?”

The ’God of Commerce and Trade,’ a chubby man in a suit, stiffened at the other’s shift in responsibility.

I’m just doing business under the Flame Motorcycle Faction’s protection; don’t involve me in these deadly matters!

”Well, I think we should wait a bit longer. Maybe the ’Deity’ will resurrect on the spot.”

His words brought silence among the other Deities.

With such a reckless style of the ’Deity,’ being heavily injured wasn’t uncommon, but the miraculous part was that every time, the ’Deity’ would resurrect on the spot.

But it’s the first time being beaten so miserably.

The Deities discussed it back and forth, eventually dispersing without resolution.

Among them, the ’God of War’ returned to his Divine Palace with agitation, stood at the doorway looking towards the Palace of the Sky, with hatred in his eyes.

As the defeated side of the ’Divine War,’ he had managed to keep his life, but his son died on the battlefield, his wife was taken by the ’Deity,’ and even bore him two sons.

The hatred of losing his wife, the vengeance for his son, now just lacking revenge for killing his father, and life’s circle of revenge would be complete.

Thus, the God of War hated the ’Deity,’ but today’s scene left a chill in his heart.

Even with the Flame Motorcycle Faction’s great defeat, the ’Deity’s’ myth was still deeply imprinted in people’s hearts.

Is there really no day for revenge?

At that moment, a Divine Maid hurried over, not speaking, directly handing over a note.

The God of War took it, opened it, and his expression changed.

...

The third Beauty God stood at the cell door, wearing a crown and dressed in a sheer veil that made her breathtakingly beautiful under the moonlight.

Her red lips softly opened, ”Open the door.”

The guard hesitated for a bit before opening the door.

Every Beauty God was the Deity’s most favored consort. Though the previous two Beauty Gods died for various reasons, it didn’t affect the Deity’s adoration.

Before she lost favor, they dared not offend her.

The Beauty God walked to the deepest cell, where General Quel sat, covered in blood. General Quel had a crew cut, and his heroic looks had a unique charm, with his left hand and right foot replaced with prosthetic bodies, yet it accentuated his valor.

”The Deity lost, the army was defeated by the Legendary Hunter’s subordinates, the Deity returned severely wounded, and, most importantly, the Legendary Hunter didn’t even intervene personally.”

”So you plan to betray the ’Deity’?” General Quel mocked.

The Beauty God took a deep breath, ”General, didn’t you take us away initially to prevent us from being devoured by those monsters, so why refuse to help us now?”

General Quel was taken aback and suddenly coldly said, ”You’re not the Beauty God, who are you?”

The ’Beauty God’ gave a charming smile, and the next moment, countless bone spikes emerged from beneath the skin, tearing through the beauty’s façade to reveal a slightly youthful face.

”I am White Bone, a subordinate of that person. General Quel, wouldn’t it be better to join us?”

”Without ten times the force, you won’t break into Flame Pass!”

”Ten times the force isn’t needed; just one person is enough.”

Quel frowned at her, and White Bone smiled, pointing to the sky, ”Our boss has personally come.”

Above Flame Pass, ’Gilbert’ ascended into the sky and flew over the walls in a few moments, his massive figure crashing heavily onto the ground.

Upon a giant leopard, a Steel Knight gazed down upon everyone.
