Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 423 - 44: Slaying the Starship, Ascending the Celestial Vault! (Final)

Since he had already been cast into the ranks of the evil gods, he had no more concerns.

The most powerful beings in the Greek Pantheon are the hundred-armed giants born of Gaia. Although Duncan had not yet transformed into his hatred form, he was not far off. He now roughly calculated the upper limit of the Power Law he had gathered; if he removed all mythical constraints, it would be approximately equivalent to a strength attribute of fifty points in Dungeons and Dragons, and under special circumstances, it could exceed this limit.

However, to activate the hatred form, he must first enter a berserker frenzy state.

Rumble!

The manifestation of the Steel Angel fell like a meteor. Duncan’s bloodied figure stood on its back, gripping the blade wings and tearing them off forcibly; those wings of edged blades were truly annoying. Now, he transformed into a form nearly three meters tall, part dragon, part giant. With terrifying barbaric power, he suppressed the Steel Angel, towering thirty to forty meters tall, forcibly stomping the struggling enemy into a high-speed descent. He then plunged his hand into the enemy’s spine, stripping the Steel Angel bare along its holy forged armor!

Beneath the armor inscribed with countless holy runes lay the internal structure of the Steel Angel, revealing innumerable rune components. Inside, a source power core pulsed, supplying exceptionally potent energy.

The mechanical body was not so strong, its advantages evident only when facing mortals.

The upper limit of the Steel Angel was determined by the mechanical strength constructing its manifestation. Unless forged entirely from divine artifact-level and mythical-level materials, conventional curiosity-level steel forged armor was on par with refined gold and mithril in front of Duncan.

Crunch!

The spine was the greatest weakness of the Steel Angel.

If he faced the Insight Angel with its strange gear structure, Duncan might not know where the weakness lay, but the Steel Angel was a humanoid manifestation. Breaking its spine resulted in a rapid decline in its mobility.

’Blood’ sprayed out!

Oil from the Steel Angel’s body drenched Duncan, and as a holy rune on its form lit up, the angel’s blood instantly ignited, engulfing Duncan in flames.

The flames quickly extinguished during the rapid descent, leaving Duncan’s appearance unscathed.

He directly pulled out the upper spine of the Steel Angel, the holy runes upon it snuffed out by his polluted magic power. The world’s evil tainted Duncan, and through his magic, polluted the ’holiness’ of the Steel Angel as well.

Boom!

As they hit the ground, Duncan leapt up, gripping the holy forged spine bone with one hand, and drove the mechanical spine, gleaming with refined gold luster, into the Steel Angel’s brain!

A mechanical arm instantly grabbed Duncan’s waist, its terrifying power trying to crush him.

Beneath the arm, the gravity engine roared; all the energy of the Steel Angel poured into its right arm, yet Duncan’s expression remained unchanged. The cursed long spear pierced the armor like a javelin, jamming into the gravity engine’s position. He then grasped the Steel Angel’s head and slammed it heavily into the ground.

The massive mechanical head plunged dozens of meters underground, leaving only its legs visible. Below, the anti-gravity engine roared, still pumping out energy.

——Sword of Oath and Victory!

——Sword Momentum: Beheading.

After destroying the holy forged spine bone, the Steel Angel’s manifestation was nothing but a mass of unbalanced scrap metal. The Sword of Oath and Victory in Duncan’s hand turned into a pillar of light, slicing down and cleaving the enemy in two.

"Do you know why you lost?"

Duncan lifted the Steel Angel’s head with one hand. It no longer had that solemn demeanor it had at the start. Looking at those gradually dimming mechanical eyes, Duncan said coldly, "The components on your body, break one, and your combat power decreases a bit."

"You could only fight me the moment you arrived, but the longer it went, the weaker you became."

Screech!

With an ear-piercing sound, Duncan directly crushed the Steel Angel’s head.

He taunted the Steel Angel before him; compared to other strange-formed guardian angels, without a doubt, this one was the most likely to kill the entity.

The annihilation plane gradually dissipated.

As reality returned, Duncan’s figure reappeared, holding the enormous mechanical head of the Steel Angel, just as he initially held Lady Fungus’s head.

In mid-air.

The Insight Angel’s expression showed a hint of dread, while above the atmosphere, the Clock Angel began to operate. Perceiving a dangerous aura as the shadow of the clock hands turned, the previously stagnant flow of time began to accelerate, and suddenly everything around seemed to be fast-forwarded.

The entire battlefield changed in an instant!

Among the three guardian angels that descended, the Clock Angel was the only one Duncan couldn’t fully comprehend. It had cast a Time Stop spell upon arrival, and now as it rotated the hands, the flow of time accelerated. At some point, steel battleships had appeared in the sky, and even a colossal structure resembling a majestic celestial temple—a space fortress.

——"Mechanical Titan Temple (Space Fortress)!"

Innumerable chanting voices arose.

It was like a levitating space fortress, with a base inscribed with steel cast prayers below and densely constructed mechanical temples above, resembling palatial halls. Those who could live there were mostly the core followers of the Mechanical Divine Sect; common mechanical cultivators’ relatives had no right to enter. Only direct offspring of sage-level and even great sage individuals could leave the pollution-filled Nest Capital World to live in the celestial temples in orbit.
