Machine Lord

The Machine Lord (alt. Machine God) was a mechanical golem who ruled the mechanical city on the 3rd layer. Before he made an appearance, he was already corrupted.

The First machine lord gave hope and dreams to those who knew nothing about machines. His ability to create was limited by the materials he had available. The Second machine lord who came later and replaced him was able to create machines without the need for materials.

Maple inherited the [Machine God] skill and thus became The Third machine lord.

Plot
Before Maple arrived at the town on the 3rd layer, she acquired a gear called [Forgotten Dream] at the base of a tree near the cathedral she visited during the Benevolent Knight chain quest. When Maple explored the town, she listened to an old man who spoke about the past. The first gave hope and dreams to the people until one day, a blue light burst from the town and the first was nowhere to be found. Because of the light, the old man rushed back to the city and found new machines that didn't require materials to create and that no one remembered the first.

After listening to the old man, Maple rode Syrup through the sky and was knocked off by a strong wind only to find herself in the Dream Cemetery. After walking through piles of machinery, she found the first sitting on a chair. After awakening to the presence of the [Forgotten Dream], he was taken over by the second and named himself the King of Trash.

Maple struggled against a barrage of lasers and did her best to save the first but it was too late. In his final moments of sanity, he bestowed Maple with his power and asked her to put and end to him. After realizing what he meant, she activated her new skill, [Machine God], and become the third. Maple called out Syrup to restrain the corrupted first and unleashed her new full-powered assault on him to grant his final wish.
