Chapter 39: Alice's Skills Cannot Be Replicated! This is Dangerous!
Psionic Transformation!
Lin Tianming immediately activated Psionic Transformation, narrowly avoiding the deadly slash from the mechanical doll's broadsword just before it reached him.
He quickly retreated to a safe distance, and the spot where he had just been standing was now a giant pit created by the silver broadsword of the mechanical doll.
"This guy... is really trying to kill me!"
Looking at the huge pit, Lin Tianming still felt a lingering fear.
If he had been even half a second slower, he would have been sliced in half by Alice.
The mechanical doll did not stop after missing the first slash; it moved gracefully and came at Lin Tianming's spirit form again.
[Although I haven't seen Ming use this move in my past life, even if you've had other fortuitous encounters in this life, as the former God of Mechanisms, I can still break it!]
"Manifest!"
Once again, the mechanical voice that shook Lin Tianming's soul resonated, and his spirit form, which had become completely intangible, condensed back into a physical form.
These women who had ascended to godhood in their past lives—how could they all break his move?
Is this the understanding of divine realms that comes with being reborn as a deity?
Under Lin Tianming's watchful eyes, the mechanical doll, dragging a silver broadsword much larger than its body, swept it out horizontally.
If this blade hit Lin Tianming, his body would undoubtedly be cut in half.
"Miss, this is our first meeting, do you have to be so ruthless?"
Although he joked with Alice, Lin Tianming did not dare be careless.
Furious Thunder Armor!
The power of raging thunder condensed into a protective armor, enveloping Lin Tianming. Unable to escape in time using Psionic Transformation, he had no choice but to withstand the blow.
To be honest, when the silver broadsword touched his Furious Thunder Armor, his heart was in his throat.
Fortunately, Teacher Jiang Han's special training this morning was truly useful, not only helping him resist Feng Lan's attack at noon but now also successfully defending against the deadly horizontal sweep of the silver broadsword.
Confirming that Furious Thunder Armor still worked against Alice, Lin Tianming's confidence soared.
Teacher Jiang Han, you are truly the savior of your students!
This lifetime, rest assured, your student will repay your kindness and not fail your teachings!
Grateful in his heart for Jiang Han's help in training his plundering ability, Lin Tianming once again activated Thunder Frenzy, further enhancing his speed and attack.
[I forgot, I saw the video of his fight with Feng Lan at noon today. He now has that Furious Thunder Armor and Thunder Frenzy that caused me so much trouble!]
[Even though I am reborn, I still cannot understand... How can a low-level skill of the Rage Thunder Bear grow infinitely and become so powerful in his hands?]
Listening to Alice's baffled thoughts, Lin Tianming chuckled.
It seems that only Teacher Jiang Han, who developed the plundering ability for him, knows the secret of the Hand of God.
No one else, whether in the previous life or this one, knows about it.
Jiang Han truly did everything an honorable teacher should do: develop the potential of the Hand of God and keep its greater secrets.
Such a great teacher, the original owner did not know how to cherish or be grateful for, and even harmed Jiang Han, coveting what belonged to her.
How inhuman!
But thanks to the original owner's heinous actions, Lin Tianming had the fortune to cross over and meet Jiang Han.
Since the original owner did not know how to cherish, this transmigrator, sharing the same name, will cherish all these girls with rare qualities!
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming switched from defense to offense.
Thunder Stomp!
The terrifying power of thunder tore and shook the ground, assaulting Alice.
[It's Thunder Stomp!]
Recognizing the skill immediately, Alice hurriedly dodged.
Under her control, the mechanical doll's eyes flashed red, releasing a destructive red beam towards the ground, colliding with the power of Lin Tianming's Thunder Stomp.
In an instant, the two powerful energies exploded with even more dazzling light, intertwining.
Only when the energies neutralized each other did the intense light gradually fade.
[Fortunately, the mechanical god liquid made my mechanical doll resonate with me in advance, and it evolved earlier, along with some of the power of the God of Mechanisms from my past life. My strength now far exceeds what it was at this stage in the past life. I no longer have to worry about not being able to defeat Ming!]
[Huh? Where is Ming?]
As the light dissipated, Alice tried to locate Lin Tianming, controlling her mechanical doll to continue the fight, but found him nowhere.
[Not good! It's that skill that can switch between physical and spirit form!]
Realizing immediately that Lin Tianming likely used Psionic Transformation, Alice and her mechanical doll simultaneously activated the ability to detect spirit forms.
In no time, they locked onto Lin Tianming's position again.
However, when Alice found that Lin Tianming had already moved behind her, her expression changed.
[Damn it! He got close!]
Hearing Alice's panicked thoughts, Lin Tianming knew he had bet right.
An Awakened with the ability of a mechanical doll master, controlling a mechanical doll to fight, would likely have a weak body.
Seeing Alice's panicked face, Lin Tianming materialized himself.
"It's time to end this, Miss!"
Thunder Stomp!
At close range, Lin Tianming unleashed Thunder Stomp, the terrifying power of thunder causing Alice to feel dizzy and her body to fly out like a broken kite.
The mechanical doll, which was rushing back to rescue, was also affected due to Alice's injury, its actions hindered.
The mechanical doll wielding the broadsword suddenly seemed to lose power, falling to the ground, its blood-red eyes dimming, its head drooping.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming exhaled a long breath.
If he had bet wrong just now, approaching Alice would have resulted in him being killed on the spot by the returning mechanical doll.
Fortunately, he bet... Huh?
Just as Lin Tianming was about to praise his own cleverness for betting right, what happened next made him tense up again.
The injured Alice was now surrounded by a silver mechanical glow, her aura rapidly rising under its influence.
"You've successfully angered me, Ming!"
As she spoke, Alice's mechanical doll also recovered its functionality due to her resurgence, locking onto Lin Tianming again.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming once again attempted to launch a close-range attack on Alice, aiming to knock her unconscious.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached Alice, he realized too late that he had stepped into a trap filled with thin mechanical threads.
These mechanical threads, thin as hair and glowing faintly silver, seemed fragile but were actually as sharp as blades, injuring on touch.
As the mechanical threads grew denser, multiple cuts appeared on Lin Tianming's face and body.
[Ming, did you really think getting close to me would allow you to do whatever you want? You are too naive!]
[Forcing me to use the Thousand Silk Killing Formation, you can be proud even without being reborn, but this is where it ends!]
[Making me and my mechanical doll attack together, complementing each other to unleash greater power, I'll grant your wish, and show you the power of the reborn God of Mechanisms!]
Hearing Alice's thoughts, Lin Tianming immediately looked toward the mechanical doll.
The mechanical doll, holding its broadsword, rushed at him trapped in Alice's Thousand Silk Killing Formation.
He cursed Alice for hiding another trump card: "Damn it, why didn't you say you had a second phase!"
At this moment, Lin Tianming's nerves were stretched to the limit.
Hand of God—Copy!
[Is he trying to copy my skills? Unfortunately, you can't copy a single one!]
[Stop struggling, Ming, my mechanical doll master ability cannot be copied by your Hand of God!]
[You couldn't copy my skills in the past life, defeating me by copying others' skills, let alone in this life!]
Despite hearing Alice's thoughts, Lin Tianming still refused to give up, hoping to find a way out in this crisis.
Copy successful!
Soon, Lin Tianming successfully copied Alice's skill.
However, when he saw the skill he had copied, he was dumbfounded.
[Mechanical Doll Technique: The mechanical doll master can use the mechanical doll technique to create and control their own mechanical dolls.]
Now Lin Tianming understood why Alice said the original owner couldn't copy her skills in the past life.
Because copying this Mechanical Doll Technique couldn't possibly take effect immediately in battle.
Copying it was as good as not copying anything!
Moreover, the Hand of God's copied skills were consumable one-time skills. Even if he created a mechanical doll in the future, he would have to find Alice again to copy her skill to use it.
With limited skills to copy and scarce resources, if he encountered any danger in the meantime and died because he lacked a usable skill, it would be too tragic.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming was completely stunned.
Could he really fall into Alice's hands today?
