Lord Era: I, The Strongest Lord Of The Abyss!

#983 - Chapter 983: Demon Engine Unleashes Its Power

"Damn it, what the hell are these things!?"

When the roar of the demonic engine from the abyss truly erupted, Li Qi, who had been full of confidence, immediately realized something was wrong.

The reason was simple.

Even he, who was extremely familiar with machinery and mechanical creations, had never imagined that machinery could produce such terrifying sounds.

And soon, he understood why.

Because what was about to appear could hardly be considered machinery...

"Roar!"

With a terrifying roar, a crimson war machine charged out from the end of the abyssal portal.

Its appearance was utterly terrifying.

So terrifying that even the gnomes and goblins who were further away couldn't help but tremble.

"Oh, by the soul of the artificer, what is that thing?"

This first demonic engine to appear was a creation similar to a scorpion tank.

Its entire chassis was made of rusty steel and chains, resembling a spider or scorpion.

And above this demonic engine, in the main body, was a balor, torn into pieces and stitched together with steel!

The balor's two arms had completely disappeared.

In their place were a flame thrower resembling a scorpion's claw and a giant cannon for launching balor blood shells.

"For the glory of the fallen angel Liz Olsen, men, kill them all!"

In the control room of this demonic engine, the flesh and steel space made from the balor's head, three excited fallen cultists howled as they cranked the demonic engine's power to the maximum.

Then, amidst the balor's pained roars, the flame thrower and giant cannon began to fire wildly.

Wherever the balor's flames scorched, the goblins and gnomes who couldn't escape in time were incinerated into ashes with agonizing screams.

Even those who tried to flee behind the fortifications met the same fate.

Their bones and blood, their flesh and souls, were all frantically burned by these terrifying flames until they turned to ashes!

Seeing their comrades suffer like this, a gnome in the distance directly manned a gnome machine gun and began to fire wildly at the balor-made demonic engine.

But unfortunately, these seemingly powerful shells couldn't penetrate the demonic engine's armor at all.

Although the steel plates would explode with violent sounds when hit by the bullets.

These explosions were not enough to destroy the core of the demonic engine.

Of course, these attacks were not entirely without effect.

It was confirmed that when these shells hit the balor's body, the balor, due to extreme pain, erupted in an unimaginable roar.

And so...

"Swoosh!"

The balor demonic engine's cannon directly targeted the audacious gnome on the battlefield, launching an abyssal shell made of balor blood.

At first, the gnome didn't take the shell seriously.

After all, near his machine gun was an energy shield that could withstand a lot of damage.

As long as this energy shield was still in effect, he would never suffer any harm.

Unfortunately, the gnome's idea was wrong.

Because when the balor blood shell actually hit the energy shield in front of him, a terrifying annihilation of flames occurred!

The huge mushroom cloud directly engulfed the brave gnome, along with the machine gun he controlled, completely melting into a pile of unrecognizable residue!

Even more terrifying was that when the other gnome and goblin allied forces tried to use the time gained by the gnome to further launch an offensive against the demonic engine, they discovered something terrifying.

That was when they wanted to weaken the demonic engine, an extremely blasphemous existence suddenly lit up on the torso of the demonic engine.

A...

Living execution platform made from balor spinal bones mixed with abyssal technology!

As the demonic engine's health gradually decreased, the abyssal cultists manipulating the demonic engine immediately shrieked.

And in such shrieks, this demonic engine directly pierced the bodies of several goblins and gnomes with its scorpion and spider hybrid limbs, throwing the still-living ones onto the execution platform made of balor spinal bones.

Then, in everyone's unbelievable eyes, these captured goblins and gnomes quickly screamed.

Because this living spinal bone execution platform was frantically devouring their flesh.

It didn't even waste the mechanical creations on these gnomes and goblins.

While devouring, it forged the flesh and blood of these gnomes and goblins into the new body of the demonic engine.

Thus, under the horrified gazes of countless goblins and gnomes, the demonic engine visibly regained its original vitality.

Only.

Several goblin and gnome heads suddenly grew on the originally clean and tidy balor body.

However, these goblin and gnome heads did not grow on the outside of this demonic engine.

The distance between them and the real world was still separated by a thick layer of flesh membrane...

Even more terrifying was that these goblins and gnomes had not truly died.

Because through this thick layer of flesh membrane, all the beings on the battlefield could see their remaining vitality frantically shouting and wailing from under this layer of flesh membrane.

Each of them was craving death, craving to wake up from this endless nightmare!

"Mo...monster!"

Finally, the morale of these gnomes and goblins completely collapsed.

They might not fear death, nor fear mere demons.

But they were, after all, intelligent beings, and also clever intelligent beings.

So after seeing their own kind suffer such terrible torture, countless goblins and gnomes chose to flee.

Death may not be the most terrible thing in this world.

The creation from the abyss, this demonic engine, could bring these goblins and gnomes a fear far beyond death!

——————————

If the role of this demonic engine was to cause the mental breakdown of the goblins and gnomes in this small war zone.

Then more demonic engines pouring out of the abyssal portal were the terminators of this battlefield.

Some were flying machines with four legs and six wings, carrying poison to pollute the sky and desecrate the air.

Some were slow-moving ground fortresses, using thousands of demonic tentacles to shatter the surrounding enemy forces.

Still others were fusion entities of several magic-type demons, ruthlessly bombarding everything here from thousands of meters away....

Looking at all this terrifying and blasphemous.

Li Qi finally understood why Wu Hao had looked at him with that bored look back then.

Because this was not a war at all.

This was...

An overwhelming crush from another dimension!
