"Anyone who slaps my face must die!" The sword's words were filled with anguish.
"Calm down, Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword," Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet consoled him. "You don't have a physical face, so you don't need to worry about being slapped."
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet's logic was sound, at least two months ago.
"The problem is that I do have a face. I still have a second form," lamented the sword. Its primary form had evolved into a face, and as an inner demon, it had the ability to transform into its second form.
Its second form was rather impressive.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet was left speechless.
As a sentient artifact, why did it now have a face?
"If you can't handle it, then stab Shuhang," calmly suggested Pavilion Master Chu.
"Shuhang wasn't the one who slapped my face, so why would I stab him?" retorted the sword. "If anyone should be stabbed, it's this group of colorful inner demons," it added.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong was also a characteristic of inner demons. When a cultivator's mind had no weaknesses, inner demons wouldn't manifest. Inner demons only emerged when the cultivator was weakened. Miss Black Skinned Soft Feather was a unique case, and her circumstances provided no reference.
While the pendants conversed, the steel lion, transformed by Song Shuhang using the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure, underwent a thorough overhaul by the colorful giants.
These two systems and species were fundamentally different. Surprisingly, Song Shuhang's Combined Magical Treasure cooperated seamlessly with the giant engineers' modifications.
The giants divided the components of the Absolute Force Field Shield into sixty-six parts, attaching them to the corresponding sections of the steel lion. This allowed the sixty-six augments to be activated individually or combined to form the Absolute Force Field Shield.
Furthermore, the giant engineers strengthened and modified various aspects of the steel lion. The specifics were not fully comprehensible to Pavilion Master Chu, the sword, and Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, as they belonged to different elemental systems.
The above process was part of the giant engineers' preparations to transform the steel lion into a Godslayer.
"The final step awaits," stated the blue giant with a solemn expression.
This step was the most critical—transforming the core of the ancient god into a protective Godslayer Mecha for the world.
The giant engineers had significant experience in transforming ancient god cores. It was not their first time converting an ancient god.
"The core of this steel lion is located in its chest, following the traditional ancient god model," mentioned a pink female giant engineer.
The blue giant smiled and nodded approvingly.
Tradition was favorable!
The more traditional the model, the higher the success rate of conversion.
Subsequently, the giant engineers began to work on the steel lion's heart core, the most crucial step in the transformation.
"Why do I feel like the Combined Magical Treasure is actively cooperating with these giants?" inquired the sword.
"I have the same feeling," agreed Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet.
lightsnοvεl Pavilion Master Chu suggested, "Didn't Shuhang's Defiant Whale Gloves already condense a weapon spirit? Let her come out and inquire about the situation."
As soon as Pavilion Master Chu made the suggestion, the Defiant Whale Artifact Spirit Fairy's tiny form appeared.
"Fairy Artifact Spirit, what is the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure doing now?" inquired the sword.
The Defiant Whale treasure spirit raised her little head and emitted a howling sound that was similar to that of a wolf.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet shook his tablet and remarked, "It seems we can't communicate with her effectively. She can barely express herself beyond whimpering."
"Maybe Fairy Creation can communicate with her," Black-skinned Soft Feather suggested.
"But the issue is..." Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet pointed out, "Fairy Creation can't communicate with us effectively either. Except for Song Shuhang, it's challenging for the rest of us to understand her strange lines. Her 'Song ~ Dumby ~' has dozens of different meanings."
"Song ~ Dumby ~," the Defiant Whale Artifact Spirit Fairy suddenly uttered in a clear voice.
"Is she trying to learn how to speak?" Black-skinned Soft Feather wondered.
"Say a few more words," Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet encouraged the little fairy.
The Defiant Whale Artifact Spirit Fairy raised her head and tried her best to make sounds.
...
...
The giant engineers' modification of the steel lion's heart core continued for an entire day.
After the transformation, the giants placed the steel lion into the maintenance solution, allowing it to initiate the transformation process.
Normally, it would take about a month to transform an ancient god into a Godslayer. This artificial small world closely resembled Earth, with only a slight difference in the calculation of "one day."
Following the modification, the blue giant left two engineers behind to monitor the steel lion and assess the progress of the transformation. The other engineers retreated and departed in single file.
The vast modified space fell silent once more.
Within the icy confines, Song Shuhang dreamed.
This time, it wasn't a supernatural dream but a regular mortal one. It was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.
In his dream, Song Shuhang found himself transformed into a small lion that was pursuing an unusual prey.
The prey was round and spherical.
Lion Song chased after it as the ball-shaped prey dashed ahead.
The cause of this dream was likely hunger.
"Hahahaha, are you afraid of me? Are you afraid of me?" Song Shuhang shouted as he pursued.
The ball-shaped prey hopped and fled, swift in its escape.
"Are you afraid of me? Hahahaha!" Lion Song pounced on the ball-shaped prey and pinned it beneath his body with sharp claws. He turned it over and playfully stuck out his tongue. "Are you afraid of me?"
The ball-shaped prey trembled.
Lion Song opened his mouth wide, about to swallow the prey.
However, at that moment, the ball-shaped prey radiated intense light.
The once-large ball transformed into a colossal tiger. It was much larger than Song Shuhang's diminutive lion form.
The enormous tiger casually swatted Lion Song away with a backhand swipe.
Dreams often defied logic. The more you wanted to eat, the less you could. The more you sought the restroom, the more elusive it became. Likewise, the more you yearned to escape, the more impossible it became.
"Are you afraid of me?" the immense tiger bellowed.
Lion Song was rendered speechless.
The tables had turned.
Now, Lion Song found himself running for his life while the colossal tiger pursued him, shouting, "Are you afraid of me? Are you afraid of me? Hahaha!"
As the giant tiger roared, it repeatedly reached for Lion Song's tail with its claws.
...
...
Below the city, the group of colorful giants gazed at the surveillance screens, utterly baffled.
Indeed, a premature Godslayer proved unreliable.
