Chapter 2010: Fantasy Sublimation, the Battle Form of the Crystal Machinery Clan

After Nimulu finished speaking, she ran out in a hurry, completely ignoring Lin Youde who stayed there.

Lin Youde released his mental perception and sensed that far outside the mountain where the Crystal Machinery Clan lived, there was indeed a group of things resembling an army.

But those things that looked like they belonged to the military gave Lin Youde a very strange feeling.

Although they are called living creatures, they have almost no mental fluctuations, as if they are robots.

It is said to be a machine, but it has a soul and self-awareness, and can be sensed by telepathy.

When Lin Youde was confused, Amano Tsukasa also pulled Lin Youde out.

"Master, those bad guys are attacking again. Let's go out and help. Qiuye, Lingling, you guys come along too."

Qiu Ye: "Yes, Saint."

Lingling: "Eh? Lingling can go out too? But Lingling can't transform yet, so she can't join the battle."

Lin Youde did not resist and let Amano Tsukasa pull his hand and run out. But while running, Lin Youde took the time to ask.

"So, what is the Alec Empire?"

"Do they have a bad relationship with the Crystal Machinery Clan?"

As soon as he ran out of the small palace and walked to the outside of the mountain, Lin Youde saw a layer of green barrier covering the outer layer of the mountain, blocking one combination of live ammunition and light beams after another.

During the journey, some high-power light beams or relatively large shells came over and hit the barrier, causing the mountain to shake slightly.

In addition, Lin Youde also saw a huge pit on a mountain in the distance.

That place should have been hit by a surprise attack before the barrier was deployed, which caused the loud noise and vibration just now.

At this time, Amano Tsukasa began to explain anxiously.

"My Lord, it is the Alec Empire, a human nation established by the humans of the Holy Dragon Realm using technology obtained from some space cracks."

"But the Alec Empire established by humans is different from the countries on our Blue Water Planet. They are very crazy and have transformed their bodies into half-machine, half-biological beings."

"They use this to gain even greater power to fight against dimensional beasts and other hostile forces, and they also have a problem with the Church of Order."

When Lin Youde heard this, his eyelids also jumped: "Half-machine, half-biological? Is this Alec Empire going to take the path of cyberpunk development with mechanical ascension?"

"But if that's the case, how could there be a conflict between them and the Crystal Machinery Clan?"

"Looking at Nimulu's previous behavior, the conflict between the Alec Empire and the Crystal Machinery Clan didn't form in a short period of time, right?"

Lin Youde did not forget the vigilance and hostility that other members of the Crystal Machinery Clan had when they looked at him before.

Obviously, these vigilance and hostility are caused by the long-term hostility with the Alex Empire, right?

As for why he was slightly wary and hostile, it might have something to do with the fact that he was a pure human being, had not undergone any mechanical transformation, and was accompanied by the so-called saint, Amano Tsukasa.

"Yes, according to Her Majesty Nimulu, we, the Crystal Machinery Clan, have always guarded our own little piece of land in the Holy Dragon Realm, lived an honest life, and occasionally traded with other races to make a living."

"But after the rise of the Alec Empire, the emperor of the Alec Empire became interested in the Crystal Machinery Clan and even wanted to study them."

"At first, Her Majesty Nimuru didn't care. After all, the Crystal Machine Clan is indeed peculiar and a fantasy species, so it's normal for someone to be interested in it. As long as the other party doesn't go too far and cooperates with them in research, our Crystal Machine Clan may become stronger, which is a win-win situation."

"Therefore, the Alec Empire and the Crystal Machinery Clan also spent 20 years of their honeymoon period, and everyone got along quite happily at that time."

"But as the technology of the Alec Empire gradually developed, their transformation of themselves became more and more serious. They seemed to have lost their humanity and became more and more like machines."

"After the changes, the Alec Empire's research on the Crystal Machine Clan became more and more excessive. At the beginning, they could only conduct research with the Crystal Machine Clan's consent. Later, they forcibly captured the Crystal Machine Clan for research, and finally brutally dissected the Crystal Machine Clan for research."

"After discovering that her people were brutally murdered, Her Majesty Nimuru was also very angry, but due to their long-term friendship, she did not vent her anger directly. Instead, she went to the Emperor of the Alec Empire to ask for an explanation."

"Who would have thought that the Emperor of the Yarik Empire had undergone a profound transformation and seemed to have completely lost his humanity. He regarded the Crystal Machine Clan as aliens and attacked and captured them."

"Although Her Majesty Nimuru escaped from the Alec Empire with her own strength, many of her guards were captured in that battle and studied to death."

"From then on, the Crystal Machinery Clan and the Alec Empire formed a blood feud. A real war broke out between the Crystal Machinery Clan and the Alec Empire."

"However, as the war continued, the Crystal Machinery Clan gradually fell into an unfavorable situation."

"The Crystal Machine Clan can rely on fantasy sublimation to sublimate from a regular form to a combat form, thereby gaining powerful combat power."

"But the Crystal Machinery Clan's ability to reproduce is due to the fusion of fantasy crystals and machinery. The number of new lives born each year is limited."

"But the speed of human reproduction and mechanical transformation far exceeds that of the Crystal Machinery Clan, so this war quickly ended with the Crystal Machinery Clan's defeat."

"At this point, the Crystal Machine Clan lost their original territory and could only retreat to the Holy Mountain, where they lived and relied on the Holy Mountain's barrier to survive."

"For some unknown reason, the Emperor of the Yalike Empire did not send a large army to attack the Holy Mountain. He only sent troops to harass us every now and then, and then looked for opportunities to capture some lone Crystal Machine Tribe members and bring them back."

"In the more than one year since I was brought back by Her Majesty Nimulu, the Alec Empire has launched more than twenty attacks of varying sizes, at least once a month on average. So the people of the Crystal Machinery Clan have become accustomed to such situations."

After listening to Amano Tsukasa's story, a word came to Lin Youde's mind: "captivity".

The Alec Empire treats the Crystal Machinery Clan as a renewable resource and keeps them in captivity, which is why they don't kill them all.

As soon as Lin Youde had this thought, he saw Nimru's small figure soaring into the sky, with a dazzling white light bursting out of her body.

"Fantasy Sublimation: Battle Mode!"

The white light faded, and a fully grown Nimue appeared in Lin Youde's eyes. She was 10 meters tall, also wearing a red battle skirt and with angel-like wings on her back.

The large Nimue flipped her right hand, and a blood-red sword appeared out of thin air, then rushed out in a beam of red light.

"You damned lumps of iron, I'm going to chop you into pieces!!!"
