#773 - Chapter 773 God's Machinery
After hearing Li Ke's explanation, the Sixth Elder, who had recovered some strength, weakly asked.
"Chaos Artificer? What does that mean?"
"And what is Chaos?"
"I don't know."
However, Li Ke was very straightforward in the face of the Sixth Elder's question.
"Regarding the two questions you asked, even I don't know the answer."
"The name 'Sixty-Seventh Ruins' originated from the ancient guild leader's designation; we are merely continuing their nomenclature."
"But the reason I know it's called the Chaos Artificer is because a fool once appeared in our Dark Covenant Guild."
"This fool, in order to better communicate with it, risked entering its cage."
"Although I don't know what that fool learned, before his death, he successfully told us its name in a way we could understand."
Li Ke said with a gloomy expression.
"Then..."
"What happened to that fool now?"
Although the Sixth Elder had already guessed that the fool's fate wouldn't be good.
However, he still asked the question.
"Oh, you mean that fool."
"He's right here...."
After saying that, Li Ke extended his finger and pointed to the cage in the distance.
When the Sixth Elder looked in the direction of his finger, his face immediately turned pale.
It turned out that the fool he was referring to was actually a skeleton hanging on the giant gray-white centipede!
Even though he had died countless years ago, his soul was still confined to his corpse.
Even today, the Sixth Elder could hear his miserable screams through the cage.
Seeing the Sixth Elder's pale face, Li Ke smiled.
"Don't worry, my dear Sixth Elder."
"That fool back then brought it upon himself, being tempted by it and ultimately entering the cage through a loophole in the prison."
"After that, we strengthened our monitoring of the Chaos Artificer."
Li Ke pointed to the ground nearby, which was covered in magical runes.
"After we closed that loophole, this guy has long been unable to unleash its power."
"Don't even mention tempting us; it's nothing more than our slave!"
After speaking, Li Ke patted the cage and revealed a sneer.
The Chaos Artificer also noticed this.
Accompanied by cracking sounds, it slowly lowered its massive body from the cage, and then used its 'head' to look at Li Ke through the huge cage, making eye contact with him.
In that instant, the Sixth Elder suddenly felt that this being called the Chaos Artificer also had its own emotions!
However, when the Chaos Artificer first saw him, its emotion was disdain.
Like a high and mighty god.
Examining an ant.
But now....
The Chaos Artificer's emotion when looking at Li Ke was full of malice.
The reason was simple.
This being called the Chaos Artificer heard the word 'slave' from Li Ke's mouth.
And it hated that word!
However, Li Ke was very clear about the Chaos Artificer's malice.
But he didn't care.
Because he knew that the being confined in the cage in front of him couldn't pose any threat to him!
"Hahahaha, okay, enough of that."
"Sixth Elder, look here!"
After ignoring the Chaos Artificer's threatening gaze, Li Ke pointed into the distance and said to the Sixth Elder.
"Look closely; compared to this useless Chaos Artificer, this machine is actually the true core of our Dark Covenant Guild."
The Sixth Elder looked in the direction of Li Ke's finger.
Sure enough, he was surprised to discover that above this huge prison, there was an even larger giant machine, several times taller than the prison.
"As long as the Chaos Artificer is alive, this Divine Machine can continuously extract some unknown substance from this guy, and then use this substance to help us create the dark creature embryos you saw earlier!"
"Although nine out of ten of these dark creature embryos created by the Divine Machine have various flaws."
"But as long as we have enough time, we can still use this Divine Machine to create some very valuable beings from the Chaos Artificer!"
"As long as...."
When he said this, a clear sense of unwillingness and hatred appeared on Li Ke's face.
"Give us enough time!"
"...."
After venting for a while, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, now that I've finished complaining...."
"Now, let's talk about the most important thing!"
"The matter concerning this Divine Machine!"
