Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

What exactly is a demigod?

A god halfway buried in the ground?

Ye Qiyan raised an eyebrow as he looked at this human skull, casually tossing it up and down in his hand.

"It looks a bit similar to a divine core after killing a god. Will the Processing Station recycle it? I'll test it later... huh?"

At that moment.

Beside Ye Qiyan, the Scoundrel that had been temporarily silent now emitted a low, rumbling roar.

Its internal engine was reigniting, and the two shields representing Decay and Lava slowly floated up above it.

"ROAR—"

This was the cry of a beast near death, unwilling to accept defeat.

It refused to accept this failure.

The Scoundrel craved victory.

"......"

Decay and Lava, the mechanical shields possessing some divine power, were now resonating with the skull in Ye Qiyan's hand.

"You want this?"

"Hah..."

Ye Qiyan laughed.

"Fine."

"I'll satisfy you."

Module·Free Processing activated.

The Processing Station from the train was summoned by Ye Qiyan before him.

He placed this demigod skull representing "Steam" upon it.

In an instant.

The Processing Station emitted an intense humming sound.

The skull hovered in mid-air.

It began continuously decomposing, transforming into a mechanical form.

[Recycling Countdown: 00:04:03]

"Such a short time?"

Normally, even recycling a single train carriage seemed to take a long time.

This demigod skull was defying expectations.

It only needed four minutes to complete recycling? How strange.

"Vermin! That, is, ours!"

The Steam King, being constantly toyed with by Eve, let out an enraged roar.

Fierce steam surged toward Ye Qiyan's direction.

From beginning to end, this Steam King had never taken Ye Qiyan seriously.

Its attention was only on those non-steam mechanical beings it considered heretical.

However, when Ye Qiyan placed the skull on the recycling platform,

This treasure that was quite important to it seemed to be slipping away.

The Steam King could no longer concern itself with anything else, as steam cannons emerged from its thick armor.

"Vermin—! Annihilate!"

Thick fog enveloped Ye Qiyan.

Steam submerged everything.

It seemed that eliminating a mere human with this attack would be far too simple.

But...

Then again~

Was it really that simple?

"Storm Eye Stone."

From within the thick fog.

A calm voice sounded.

The moment this voice appeared.

The surrounding air stagnated briefly.

Then, a storm arrived!

With Ye Qiyan as the absolute eye of the storm at the center! In all directions, all the mist was drawn by the fierce winds!

Storm Barrier deployed!

This factory that had been shrouded in thick fog for who knows how many years.

Now, in the sky above.

Starlight flickered through the opening.

Ye Qiyan stood motionless in place.

Directly in front of him.

The golden-red Wandering Star Holy Sigil formed an absolute protective field!

This blazing steam cannon couldn't make him retreat even a single step.

The Wandering Star Holy Sigil, this special item obtained through the extreme sublimation of the Floating Armor given by Zhu Xingshu.

Even at advanced stations, it remained powerful and reliable.

Don't forget, even the silver-white light trails left by the Eternal Cutter in the air couldn't easily cut through the Wandering Star Holy Sigil.

Let alone a mere monster that calls itself a king?

As the Steam King deployed its armor and opened the steam cannons inside its body,

Eve only needed to use the Eternal Cutter to finish it off.

But, Ye Qiyan didn't let it do so.

Eve continued slicing through the Steam King's armor.

Externally, it was already full of holes and on the verge of collapse.

Internally, countless steam-powered mechanical cores had suffered varying degrees of malfunction.

These malfunctions couldn't even perform self-repairs.

Processing Station Countdown: 00:00:00

When the countdown reached zero.

On the Processing Station, that skull had already disappeared.

In its place was a mechanical core emitting steam.

[Steam Mechanization Modification Core]

[Provides steam special modifications for any machinery]

[Created from the skull of a dead demigod through system processing. If equipped onto other machinery possessing divine/demigod mechanical cores, it can trigger divine resonance.]

Hiss—!

A scorching steam sound erupted from the core in Ye Qiyan's hand.

Beside him.

The Scoundrel, with half its body damaged, miraculously used its remaining arm to prop up its broken form.

It roared.

It cast a desiring gaze.

It bowed and pleaded to its master!

"Although it's only from a demigod, it still counts as a divine core, right? Then, let me see how far you can go."

"This is the third one."

The Steam Mechanical Core slammed hard onto the Scoundrel's body.

It shattered upon contact, simultaneously enveloping the Scoundrel.

"ROAR—!"

A beast's roar mixed with endless steam spread outward.

Blinding crimson light intertwined with the Scoundrel's blue blood.

The Scoundrel's body remained as broken as before.

The steam core hadn't changed its form in any way.

Only, the scorching steam continuously emerging from within its body turned its entire form red.

"ROAR——!!"

The Scoundrel was reborn at this moment.

"Not quite a full health revival, but it's acceptable."

"The rest, I leave to you."

"No problem, right?"

[Scoundrel: Berserk Mode (Steam Mechanical Modification Enhanced): Abandon all weapons, spirit reduced to 1, speed and power greatly enhanced! Attacks attach scorching steam!]

Eve returned to Ye Qiyan's side.

It silently looked at the two shields beside the Scoundrel, then at the steam emanating from within its body, finally settling its gaze on its own Eternal Cutter.

Then, a satisfied, happy pixel emoticon appeared on its face.

What messy divine cores—to Eve, they weren't worth one ten-thousandth of this blade bestowed by its master.

The Scoundrel didn't understand such things.

It only knew that it had obtained new power.

No matter what price this power demanded, or what the source of this power might be.

The Scoundrel only wanted to win.

As possibly the weakest machinery under Ye Qiyan's command aside from WALL-E, the Scoundrel possessed the unyielding heart of a wolf king.

"Vermin—! Heretic!!"

"Pathetic machinery! You dare, consume, what belongs to me!"

The Steam King, severely damaged by Eve's attacks, sensed the steam mechanical core power that had appeared on the Scoundrel.

It roared in fury.

Its remaining single arm picked up the hammer that had been cut in two.

The jet devices on its lower body barely maintained its aerial form.

The steam cannons with their barrels sheared off were simply abandoned outright.

"Final—Phase!"

"Abandon external armor, transition to melee combat mode!"
