Start a core cabin

"Boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by a loud roar, the heavy stone statue began to collapse and crack, and the huge stone statue shell in front of everyone broke open, revealing the real existence hidden inside.

It was a huge metal door, black with gold edges, which seemed to be full of some abnormal atmosphere. However, the most eye-catching thing was the logo on the door.

"Huh?"

It must be said that when Freya and Norn saw this logo, they were both stunned, because the style of this logo was exactly the same as what they saw on the door of God's Machinery. If there is a difference, the logo on God's Machinery is a skull and a double-headed eagle, while the logo here is a circle of gears surrounding the skull.

Although the appearance is a little different, the feeling is exactly the same.

Then, the door slowly opened, showing people the existence hidden inside.

It was a coffin.

Its appearance is similar to the body of the Dreadnought Mech, but it has no hands and feet, and countless heavy chains bind it tightly.

Then, the inorganic voice sounded again.

[Power armor features detected]

[Data matches, Grand Inquisitor, theory exists]

Immediately afterwards, a servo skull flew out and floated in front of Duanmu Huai. Seeing this strange thing, the people behind him were in a commotion, but Duanmu Huai just stared at the servo skull and asked.

"Who is the authorized object?"

[Searching... Authorized object, Great Sage, Belisarius Kaul]

Dora Kaul?

It must be said that Duanmu Huai was quite surprised to hear this familiar name here. Of course, he would not forget that when he traveled through time and space again, he had met the Great Sage Dora Kaul in Cadian, and the two sides had cooperated for a short period of time.

Hmm... It's impossible that the coffin contains Dora Kaul, right?

"What are the responsibilities here?"

[Reinforcement of the hero's conceptualization, research, integration, data error, research failure, abandonment, reorganization, return to the first plan, execution by the saint, error, organic cycle...]

"Forget it, I'll see for myself. In the name of the Grand Inquisitor, I request to mobilize the underlying data."

[... Understood, obey the order, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor, data transmission...]

Soon, the servo skull extended a data cable and connected to Duanmu Huai's data terminal. Then, lines of research diaries appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

Thanks to the mechanical priest's detailed records, Duanmu Huai finally figured out what happened in this place.

In short, this is also part of the artificial god experiment.

It was said a long time ago that when the Black Sun Plan came, humans cleaned up everything in the Milky Way, including themselves, and in order to seize the power and territory of the four Chaos Gods when they were declining, humans also carried out the God-making Plan. The gods of Faerun are a very successful example, and it is indeed the front line against the Chaos Evil God. At least under the protection of the crystal wall system and the watchful eyes of the gods of Faerun, the Chaos Evil God, who has not yet fully recovered, really has no way to deal with that world.

And this world is also a test site for one of the god-making plans, but its original intention is somewhat different.

If the gods of Faerun are naturally wild, then this is a fixed-point cultivation. The mechanical sect here tries to cultivate gods in another way. After all, an uncontrolled god does not necessarily protect humans, and may even destroy humans.

So how to cultivate a god who protects humans?

So they thought of the concept of "brave".

Protecting humans from disasters and defeating the evil existence that threatens humans is a "brave man", and if this concept can be fixed and refined, then it is possible to create a "brave god". Such a god is born to protect humans and drive away the evil existence that threatens humans.

The idea is good, but the practice is not so simple, so the mechanical god here adopted this method.

They used the technology of the Mechanicus to create the demons. Yes, the demons were actually created by the Mechanicus, and in order to fix the image of human threat, they deliberately made the demons non-human. And they stamped something like a thought stamp in their brains, so that the demons would take the initiative to attack humans.

On the human side, the Mechanicus also made the same design. The only difference is that in order to avoid the instability of the experimental parameters caused by the emergence of multiple heroes, they strengthened and imprisoned the concept of "hero". In other words, in this experimental area, there will only be one hero, and only after the death of this hero will the protection be randomly awakened in other people.

In fact, at the beginning, the protection of the hero was not as perverted as it is now. It can be said that the protection of the hero at that time only gave the hero the courage to fight against the demons and the devil.

But later, with the repeated experiments, the hero officially became the hope of mankind, and the power brought by the superposition caused the nature of the hero to change. And those powerful powers also emerged.

It was not until then that the priests of the Mechanicus realized that they had messed up.

As mentioned before, the belief in God is generated by people's belief, so it will inevitably be affected by belief, and this is the case with the gods of Furen. The "God of Brave" that the mechanical priests tried to create here is essentially a god of faith. In addition, it is not like the gods of Furen, who were upgraded from mortals and still retain their own personality.

The God of Brave was originally just a fictitious concept incarnation.

So of course, its nature will naturally be affected by the believers who "believe" in the brave.

Therefore, those changes occurred.

The brave has no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, because in people's impression, the brave is strong and will not be affected by these external things.

The brave will not feel pain, do not eat, drink, or sleep, because people think that the brave can do things that they cannot do, so they must be different from them.

The alienated belief polluted the conceptual essence of the brave, which also made the mechanical priests discover the problem. The overly abnormal characteristics of the brave can no longer be adjusted and purified. If they continue to cultivate, then this brave will not only not become the patron saint of mankind, but may even become the destroyer of mankind.

Fortunately, this group of oil men will always make two preparations. As early as the early stage of the implementation of the Hero Plan, they created another plan at the same time.

The Saint Plan.

After all, in the legend, the Saint and the Hero are always corresponding. The Hero defeated the Demon King under the guidance of the Saint, which is also a regular legend routine.

As a "supporting facility", the Saint will absorb the power of the Hero as a reserve and strengthen the Hero when needed. After discovering that the characteristics of the Hero had deteriorated and the plan failed, the Mechanical Priest merged the concept of the Saint, created a Saint, and imprisoned and preserved it in this coffin.

In this way, the power obtained by the Hero from defeating the Demons will be transmitted to the Saint, and because the Saint is imprisoned, she cannot give back the power to the Hero, which causes the concept of the Hero to stay at this level and can no longer be upgraded. After that, the group of oil men patted their butts and slipped away.

Well... It fits the characteristics of these bastards who mess up and run away.

No, strictly speaking, it wasn't a mess...

Seeing the end, a glimmer of light appeared in Duanmu Huai's eyes.

These bastards really made the best use of everything... Forget it, just treat it as a gift from Dora Kaur.

"Open the stasis chamber."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai gave an order.

[Received the order, confirming the authority... Authorization confirmed, stop the stasis field]

"Puff---!"

Accompanied by the sound of jets, the hatch slowly opened, and then a figure appeared in front of everyone.

It was a girl, or... a saint.

However, the appearance of this saint was a little wrong.

From the outside, she looked like a saint, with shining golden hair that fell to the ground. White cheeks, blue eyes full of holiness and love, and a white veil on her head all showed her identity as a saint---well, if you only look at the head, just look at the head.

Because below the neck, that's another matter.

Although the female body shape can be seen, in fact, except for the head, the saint is made of machinery. It can be said that... With such mechanization, even the judge would find it dangerous. She held a long staff in her hands, and on the top of the staff was a golden scale...

"Saint!"

Seeing this scene, the young hero who was originally captured suddenly struggled violently. He broke free from the unprepared soldiers, rushed to the front of the mechanical saint, and then knelt on the ground.

"God's messenger, the saint who guides the brave, I finally see you! Please give me the power of the brave to destroy all the evil in this world!"

"………………………………"

The mechanical saint opened her eyes wide, glanced at the young hero who knelt at her feet, and then turned her head to look at Duanmu Huai.

Then, she stood up and bowed her head to Duanmu Huai.

"The person with the highest command authority has been detected. Please issue an order, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor. The Mechanicus's specially manufactured prosthesis, Saint A21578 Limonem, will obey your orders."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the young hero looked up in disbelief. He stared blankly at the Mechanical Saint, then looked at Duanmu Huai, with a look of confusion and disbelief.

"Why... Saint, he is the evil demon king! We should join forces to defeat him! I am the hero!"

Although he was pressed to the ground by the guards again at this moment, the boy still did not give up. He stared at the Mechanical Saint and shouted loudly. After all, in the legend, the hero who is guided by the Saint is invincible. As long as he can get the Saint's recognition, he will have more powerful power than before. At that time, he will destroy all evil!

However, the Saint did not even look at him, but just looked at the evil demon king... Damn, the demon king must have bewitched the Saint in some way, it must be so!

"Yes, since you are here, I will not be polite."

Duanmu Huai certainly saw through the true face of the saint in front of him. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the saint's chest - although it was just a metal product with no touch at all.

Then the next moment, the mechanical saint's body flashed with light and disappeared into the air.

At the same time, a brand new soul card appeared in Duanmu Huai’s hand.

[Incomplete Saint. Limonem (Legend)]

[Consumption: 4]

[Attack: 4]

[Consumption: 3]

[Entrance (Explosive Evolution): Gain the ability to evolve this Servant without consumption]

[After evolution: Give the main combatant 'Whenever your mechanical Servant is destroyed, add a "Redemption of Limonem" to your hand'

[Redemption of Limonem (Legend)]

[Consumption: 0]

[Reduce the consumption of the Bishop or Mechanical Servant card in your hand by -1. If Redemption has been used 4 times, add a Heavenly Shield to your hand]

[Heavenly Shield (Legend)]

[Consumption: 9]

[Attack: 8]

[Defense: 8]

[All damage given to this Servant is converted to 0. This Servant is not affected by abilities other than changing attack and life ability (destruction, instant kill or disappearance are ineffective against it)]

[Power of Protection (Bronze)]

[Consumption: 3]

[Give yourself a Servant +1/+2 and protection effect]

Good boy, this is really good!

Seeing these soul cards, Duanmu Huai felt like he was about to jump up!

This [Incomplete Saint] itself is not too powerful, but the important thing is the [Heavenly Shield] brought by her effect!

Look, what does "all damage given to this servant is converted to 0" mean? If it weren't for the special condition behind it, it would be invincible! Of course, Duanmu Huai also guessed that the ability of this [Heavenly Shield] might be the embodiment of the concept of the hero. After all, the concept of the hero is like this, and it is obvious that this Heavenly Shield also absorbs the concept and enhancement effect of the hero in this aspect.

Moreover, there is also the spell card [Power of Protection]!

Although at first glance, this spell card is only bronze level, the problem lies in the chemical reaction produced by its superposition with [Heavenly Shield]!

You must know that on the battlefield, the enemy's attack will be borne first by the card with the [Guardian] characteristic, and it will be the turn of other cards after the card with the [Guardian] characteristic is defeated. For example, Ogis often uses the doll in her box as a shield to resist damage.

This means that if you use the spell card [Power of Protection] to grant the [Protection] attribute to [Tianyao Shield], then the enemy must first destroy the Tianyao Shield before it can cause damage to other targets.

The characteristic of [Tianyao Shield] is that it cannot cause damage through ordinary means!

If it is the Chaos Evil God, then Tyrannical Wrath can be eliminated, it will definitely not be able to beat Tianyao Shield!

As for the other three, it is hard to say, after all, [Tianyao Shield] is just not affected by ordinary attacks, but the effect of [weakening attack and physical strength] is still affected.

This is the specialty of Corruption Stain and Obsession Sin...

But no matter what, with this card, at least when facing ordinary attacks, you have a trump card!

That's enough!

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that in this world, he could get such a benefit...
