114: Fel Mecha

When Ye Chen walked out of the combat center, he was greeted by deafening cheers.

Under the guidance of the loudspeakers, the top ten contestants once again stood on the performance stage.

The School Head then took the stage, affirmed everyone's performance, and presented them with trophies and prizes.

Ye Chen's prizes were the most luxurious: three thousand divine power value, a twenty-times God Domain acceleration card, and three God Domain expansion cards.

He was quite satisfied; at least his efforts weren't in vain.

Next was the recruitment session for excellent students by various universities.

As the champion of this competition, Ye Chen's strength was obvious to all.

A group of admissions officers extended olive branches, hoping to recruit this genius.

Some teachers offered even more generous conditions, exceeding the previous years' reward standards.

However, Ye Chen remained unmoved, politely declining their invitations.

The admissions officers from various universities also saw that Ye Chen's ambition was not here, understanding that he had greater aspirations, so they no longer insisted.

After everything concluded, Ye Chen stepped off the stage and, surrounded by his classmates, returned to his class.

At this moment, a man in a black hooded jacket in the audience slowly raised his head.

The man was Shen Jin, who had specifically come today to watch Ye Chen's performance, and indeed, he was not disappointed.

Just over a month ago, he was merely a good-for-nothing, but now he could sweep through the entire School; such a performance was undeniably brilliant.

And what their "Night Crows" needed were precisely these unconventional geniuses.

Subsequently, he reported Ye Chen's astonishing performance to the organization, hoping they would give it importance.

Amidst the class teacher's praise and his classmates' flattery, School finally ended.

Returning to the Abyss, Ye Chen first checked the reports from each Vanguard Team.

Today's random teleportation yielded no gains, which left Ye Chen slightly disappointed.

Within Sachi World, the Archbishop's sect infiltration strategy continued smoothly, having successfully converted hundreds of thousands of Demon believers and established Abyss churches in several large cities.

Ye Chen added three thousand third-tier Demons, two hundred fourth-tier Demons, and five fifth-tier Demons to him to prevent a shortage of manpower.

These Demons were Knights from Sachi World, so moonlighting as guardian Knights was also acceptable.

Of course, don't even think about mounts; let the Archbishop arrange them himself.

The Demon Dragon and three Fire Dragons in Element World successively sent back some monster souls below the sixth tier, but they had not yet managed to kill any Lord-level creatures.

After resurrecting these monsters, there was still no surprise; the highest one was only a fifth-tier Transcendent.

The territory of Element World is much larger than other worlds, and Lord-level creatures are also more dispersed.

However, with the three-headed Fire Snake, a genuine local tyrant, the efficiency of monster hunting can be significantly improved.

In Dragon Island World, Cthulhu-like monsters are crossing the sea, and Worms are also drifting in the ocean, with many already having died and returned to the Abyss.

This world is not considered for the short term; currently, it's just adding a bit of chaos to the world.

Beelzebub in Apocalypse World is making steady progress, gradually transforming the world into his corrupt domain.

Although the progress is slow, Beelzebub's growth is not slow at all, and in that world, he can better comprehend the laws of corruption, plague, and so on.

Only Goblin World is bustling with activity; Apollo has now reached the second city and is holding a sacrificial ceremony.

The items sacrificed this time were very miscellaneous, ranging from raw materials to various equipment, and even some goblin data, a large jumbled mess.

Some large facilities are not suitable for sacrifice and can only be integrated into the Abyss along with the entire world after Goblin World is taken.

All the residents of the second city were resurrected and placed in the eleventh layer of the Abyss.

With this batch of materials and equipment, the goblins also began their research work.

Only a minority of them were engaged in research work during their lifetime.

After all, both cities were just ordinary cities, and the Empire didn't need to spend a lot of money building high-tech research centers and recruiting researchers there.

Ye Chen didn't expect them to research any high-tech things; he just wanted them to have something to do.

...

Goblin World.

After completing the sacrifice, Apollo sent troops again, intending to march all the way to the Goblin Imperial Capital, taking any cities along the way.

Each city here is connected by wide roads, making troop movement very convenient.

However, there are occasional checkpoints and sometimes even bunkers along the way.

With Little Devils as the vanguard, these facilities cannot cause any trouble.

Soon, the outline of Nair City appeared before Apollo's eyes.

What surprised him, however, was that some goblin airships were circling above the city walls.

Clearly, the enemy was prepared.

Having lost two cities, the goblins had gained some understanding of these Demons.

They knew that among them was a group of elusive monsters that could easily breach various defenses and take lives.

So these goblin airships did not dare to leave the city to eliminate the enemy, preparing to strike during the chaos of the siege.

When the Little Devils and Worms once again infiltrated the city, they saw more than twenty magic-energy mechs and squads of goblin soldiers clad in magic-energy armor.

This full-protection magic-energy armor relies on the energy of magic crystals for defense and amplification, which can greatly enhance the soldiers' combat power.

The various forms of magic-energy mechs, on the other hand, are the pinnacle of the goblin race's craftsmanship, genuine war machines.

They are divided into different types of mechs based on their capabilities.

The Guardian is a highly armored aerial fortress, covered with various defensive devices and possessing powerful defensive capabilities.

The Phantom is a slender black mech with extremely strong stealth, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

The Ripper resembles a giant steel silver wolf, whose sharp fangs and claws can easily tear apart enemy armor.

There are also the Destroyer Tyrant, capable of dominating the battlefield, and the Thunder Roar, capable of releasing lightning power, and so on.

As an important magic-energy mech research center of the Goblin Empire, Nair City's defensive strength was more than a notch stronger than other cities.

However, Apollo was not worried.

Without the blessing of transcendent power, even the strongest fortress can be breached from within.

The Little Devils did not linger, heading straight for the mechs.

Being in the shadow space, they were already in an invincible position.

These mechs were very tall; even the slimmest Phantom was seven meters high.

Unfortunately, the cockpit inside was very narrow, impossible for normal humans to enter, and only goblins could pilot them.

The Little Devils, however, were completely unaffected, directly infiltrating the mechs from the shadow space and attacking the pilots.

As the alarm signals for one mech pilot after another losing vital signs sounded, the goblin commander finally realized that the enemy had penetrated inside the mechs.

This thoroughly panicked him.

He had originally thought that the protection of the magic-energy mechs could withstand such strange attacks, but unexpectedly, it was ultimately powerless.
