Chapter 951 The Greatest Invention
Had it been a regular engineer who had attempted to dismantle the explosives, they would undoubtedly have failed. However, Li Yi was no run of the mill engineer. He had achieved the highest possible level of Engineering for mortals, and he was only a step away from being on par with a god.
Durarame fixed its gaze at Li Yi for a long time before finally nodding its head. “Very good…”
Tch-tch-tch—
The door at the end of the shrine gradually swung open.
“Have I passed the stage?” Li Yi was shocked.
Durarame impatiently waved her hand. “Hurry up and leave, before I have a change of heart.”
“Much obliged!”
Li Yi dashed towards the exit…
“Hold it!”
Tch-tch-tch—
Just as Li Yi was right before the gates, Durarame suddenly shouted, and the exit rapidly closed.
“I’ve changed my mind! You cannot leave!”
Li Yi was speechless, as the Dwarf had flipped her switch faster than one would flip a book.
“If you never found the Encyclopedia of Engineering, I left behind in the Pantheon Continent, you would have never dismantled my Bombermen. The only reason you could make it through is because of me, so, I want you to do something in return!”
Li Yi asked, “And what’s that?”
Durarame clenched her fists and through her gritted teeth, she spoke, “Kill the Great Earth God, Everest!”
Upon hearing the words, Li Yi was suddenly struck with deep regret.
It seems that Fluttering Snow Purple Water Chestnut’s action of carrying the spotted dog had been correct…
Li Yi steeled his resolve and asked, “How am I supposed to kill him?”
“Borrow, I, Durarame’s greatest invention and, kill… belch… the Great Earth God, Everest!”
Chugga… chugga… choo choo…
A round machine that looked similar to a train spewed out black smoke as it appeared in front of Li Yi. Then, it opened up its doors automatically.
“What’s this?”
Durarame spoke with great pride, “The Invention God, Durarame’s magnum opus! It is a machine that can travel through time. I want you to scurry in there and operate my machine to send yourself back a hundred thousand years ago. Then, I want you to murder the Great Earth God before he became a god!”
Li Yi was stunned…
‘It seems that the spotted dog is unnecessary.’
“Don’t look at me with those eyes! Are you doubting I, Durarame’s greatest invention? Mortal, if it were not for the Ruler of Gods’ ceasefire order, I wouldn’t need your help!”
Li Yi made a pinky swear. “Deal!”
Li Yi scurried into the Time-travel Machine and waited.
Durarame then waved her hand. “Hold on, change of plans.”
‘Damn, she really can’t make a proper decision, huh.’
“So, I don’t need to go anymore? Good, let me through then.”
Durarame shook its head. With a wave of her hand, a ten-inch long stick flew to Li Yi’s hands.
“This is a Transformation Wand of my design! Just use it on the Great Earth God after you locate him.”
“Transformation Wand? Wait, so I don’t need to kill the Great Earth God anymore?”
Durarame silently nodded its head. Although it had seriously loathed the Great Earth God, it seems that she had no real intention to kill it.
“Choo— chugga chugga…”
The time machine began to spin rapidly, tossing and turning Li Yi within it, until Li Yi began to lose consciousness…
“Sh*t, I forgot to input the returning coordinates.”
During Li Yi’s moment of haziness, he could hear Durarame shouting.
‘Scr*w you!’
By the time Li Yi had regained consciousness, the scene in front of him had brightened up.
Li Yi was located at the summit of a mountain, and he was surrounded by an endless plain for as far as he can see.
“Was the time travel successful? Is Everest here?”
Li Yi looked left and right in an attempt to locate the Great Earth God.
One of the unique characteristics of Engineering was that each machine it produced would come with an innate chance of failure. Li Yi was extremely clear about this, and when he noticed there were no signs of life around him, this assumption of his had further intensified.
Li Yi was not worried about returning to the future as he had plenty of teleportation tools on him, like the Return City Stone, the Emperor Sword, etc. All he needed to do was to pick a random one and he would easily return to the future.
However, he was struggling with how to complete the quest.
Li Yi was beginning to feel disgruntled at the Transformation Wand he held in his hand.
At that instant, a huge tremor occurred underneath him, almost causing Li Yi to trip.
“Wah…Wah…Wah…”
The thunderous wail of a baby could be heard reverberating from underneath, and when Li Yi lowered his head, he was dumbfounded.
He was not standing on top of a mountain, but a massive baby instead…
The baby was lying flat on the plain, and when it remained stationary, it looked just like a mountain. Although it had yet to reach adulthood, its size was already several times of Onyxia’s.
‘This can’t be Everest’s child form, right?’
Li Yi felt chills up his spine as he observed the Giant Baby under him.
‘No wonder Durarame is that revolted by Everest! It’s only natural since both of them are so different in size…’
Just a single finger of the Giant Baby had surpassed the height of Durarame. Furthermore, Everest was only in its child form. What would happen when it had grown to an adult?
“For the quest!”
Li Yi shook the Transformation Wand in his hand and fired it at the Giant Baby.
The Transformation Wand unleashed a purple ray, striking the Giant Baby.
Tch-tch-tch-tch…
The Giant Baby was shrinking rapidly, and the change was extremely apparent. By the time it had been reduced to several meters big, the Transformation Wand in Li Yi’s hand suddenly exploded with a thundering blast.
“Wah…wah…wah…”
The baby continued to cry, and it tossed its body around.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The ground underneath began to quake again, and a Giant that towered over a thousand meters came rushing over. It constantly mentioned the name ‘Everest’ under its breath.
“No, this isn’t my child! Definitely not! This is a Dwarf!”
When the thousand-meter-tall Giant spotted the Giant Baby, it immediately clutched its own head and screeched. Then, it raised its massive foot and sent the Giant Baby hurtling away.
Li Yi, who was standing on top of the Giant Baby could not be spared, and as the thousand-meter-tall Giant sent its baby flying, so too did Li Yi.
After flying five minutes or so in the air, the Giant Baby landed on the ground like a thunderclap.
Krakoom!
A crater had been formed on the ground, and once again, the Giant Baby began to bawl.
“My god, what is this?”
“A Giant! It’s a Mountain Giant!”
“No, the Mountain Giants aren’t this huge. Also, if you look at its body structure, it’s similar to ours. It’s … a Dwarf!”
A crowd of Dwarves began to surround the Giant Baby. They pointed here and there and each gave an opinion of their own.
A dwarf toddler barely the age of three began to lumber its way forth. It extended its little hand and caressed the face of the crying Giant Baby.
“Even Durarame isn’t crying, so you shouldn’t either.”
With that, the Giant Baby halted its tears, and as it looked at the female Dwarf, a giant smile began to form on the baby’s lips.
[Warning! Warning! An anomaly in the time stream has been detected! Ancient Space and Time Laws have taken effect, and the inappropriate object within the time stream will be returned to its original time stream in 10 seconds.]
[Ten, nine, eight…]
Before Li Yi had even given his opinion, a purple ray enveloped him and forcefully ported him out of the current time stream.
Boom! Crash! Bang! Clang!
Li Yi had returned to the Invention God’s Palace, and he realized that he was caked in soot. Furthermore, the Time Travel Machine had already been reduced to a heap of scrap metal…
