=Earth, New York Times Square=

After the scene of the Adventurers following Valentine as they headed towards the street, they then got into a strange transportation vehicle, with another metal men driving them, Valentine sitting faced in front of them. All around them multiple similar machines started roaring as they began moving. While the group didn't shown any reaction, they do felt surprised this thing moves without a horse. Of course theres also one in the Meccan Kingdom but they used Mana crystals to fuel them, however this one didn't have a slight one, and it is even their first time riding on one of them.

While both of them has different reactions, Shialynn has the most emotional here.

"What sort of chariot is this? Where are the horses pulling it? Is this some magic I didn't hear about? Or a new species?" She unconsciously started gripping Rudolf's arm. Well it make sense, some people seen vehicles with no horses but Shialynn didn't seen one because all in her life, she never went nor learn more about the Eastern or the Western Region other states, the Meccan Kingdom is also one of she didn't learn more about, which means she never heard about a so-called chariot fuctions without a horse.

"Ms, Zeynn, they are transportation vehicles called cars. We use fuel instead of horses nor mana crystals for power. While most of us in this vehicle knew abit about vehicles, I see your a person never went or learn other states in the other regions. I do have the same reaction as the three of you about a vehicle fuels instead of mana crystals, hearing about this could change the Meccan's ideas. Ah, we arrived already at our destination, headed there is short and it only took less than 2 minutes, Please follow me." As she said that, the car doors automatically opens upwards, startling Shialynn more.

As the adventurers went out, what they see shocked them even more. Before their eyes was a massive skyskraper that could make the other buildings they previously saw as childrens, this one however could make them feel like ants.

Currently, they are in New York Central Park, or what was once the Central Park, not anymore, it is now as the residence of the leaders' front yard, or the center of the capital, in the center was the main central tower, over 3000 meters in height, 3 times bigger than Burj Khalifa, it is the Machine Empire's main tower, or the country's nation's White House.

=Earth, Central Tower=

Few minutes later after they entered the Central tower, they now entered the main room. The room was grand and well-decorated with banners of unknown emblems and flags of an unknown state. The colors used represented a dark and grim regime whose sole goal and aspirations are to be self-sufficient, efficient and united without the distractions of colorful human wants like culture, recreation or any related thereof which contradicts efficient progressiveness and advancement.

The emblems of which tools and symbols beyond their knowledge and understanding, symbols of a civilization beyond their world and long extinguished and the tools they used now under the control of the enemy where they stood.

This enemy not only managed to recreate one of their cities but completely and quelled any form of resistance either physically or mentally. Everyone they've encountered so far lived in relative comfort, and safety. They lived like as if they were elite, the nobility or the anyone of high status or power but no, they were merely civilians, integrated people in this new state. This new state which possessed unrivaled power.

And a plus, they didn't rely on magic.

The group sat together at the other end of the long table which stretched a few meters in length directly in the opposite position where Valentine sat. The chairs themselves looked odd, they looked 'poofy' and fat, but when they sat, they were stunned that the chairs had wheels under their stands, allowing them to glide with ease.
