The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Like the heavy armor, the sacred warhammer in Marus' hands also has a similar steam device inside. When necessary, this device will instantly emit powerful steam to push the warhammer to make stronger attacks.

Such a set of heavy-armored warhammers, powered by divine power and powered by the steam industry, has now been recognized as a god-given weapon by the Church of the Lord of the Sky.

Therefore, under the influence of this trend of thought, several important departments of the entire church are focusing on this device. They hope to use less divine power to drive the same steam device, so that ordinary holy warriors or priests can also equip this device. device.

The Holy Inquisitor Marus is the direct beneficiary of this device. He has also deeply experienced the power of this device in the past dozens of battles with mutant monsters. Even in his heart, he also He felt that without this device, it would be difficult for him to get out of the siege of mutant monsters several times.

Therefore, he is also one of the main participants and supporters in the church to promote the simplification and normalization of this device, and he even played an extremely important role in this matter, responsible for persuading those who disagreed those people.

However, the mysterious assailant just now made him feel that his past actions seemed to be wrong. As the blood carrier of the Lord of the Sky, as the most devout member of the church, when he encounters difficulties, he does not want to ask God Pray for divine enlightenment, don't want to work hard to discover and master more powerful gods and gods, don't want to learn the great magical arts in the past, but put hope and money on other things, what a blasphemy. This is tantamount to denying the greatness and omnipotence of the Lord of the Sky, and it is no exaggeration to call such an act blasphemy.

If the attacker hadn't shown the more powerful divine power of the sky lord, Marus would not have reacted too much even if he heard the other party's accusation, but now he has seen how the more powerful sky lord's divine power is used , Seeing a way to become stronger without relying on external forces, he couldn't help but fall into deep reflection, he began to realize that his past behavior was indeed a kind of blasphemy, and the whole church was completely immersed in this in blasphemy, without knowing it.

Thinking of this, the Holy Inquisitor Marus, who would not frown even in the face of countless mutated monsters, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He suddenly thought of a rumor he had heard in the church in the past. The rumor said that The upper echelons of the church are falling, and the church is also turning its back on the holy scriptures of the Lord of the Sky. When the Lord of the Sky returns completely, those blasphemers who deviate from the holy scriptures will be judged.

At this moment, Marus felt that the church's conflict between Aodorine and the Shamanism suddenly became less important, and the church's current blasphemy was the crisis that led the church into the abyss.

As a result, Marus had no idea of ​​continuing to go to Aodorine to support the local church church according to the instructions of the upper echelon of the church. Instead, he turned around and returned from the original road. The sacred scriptures left by the ancient sages in the library want to re-establish and strengthen their now-collapsed beliefs.

Just when Marus pondered for a long time and decided to return the same way, Leo had already landed on the roof of the Aodorine IRS branch, and he also sensed that Marus was leaving through the mental network for the first time.

He was also a little surprised and puzzled that Marus would choose to leave. In his opinion, although he had absolutely suppressed the three fights with Marus just now, if it wasn't for the divine power of the Sky Lord in Marus' body Perhaps Marus has been killed by him now, but based on his understanding of Marus, it is absolutely impossible for Marus to back down because of the strength of his opponent, he will only move towards a stronger opponent. The enemy charges.

Now Marus's retreat is completely contrary to the information Leo got from the bishop's memory, which made him wonder if Marus was playing some tricks, pretending to retreat, and then turned around and secretly Dive back to Adoline.

So, he expanded the sensing range of the mental net again, only retaining the extreme sensitivity that could sense Marus, and followed Marus secretly, until Marus had gone deep into the surrounding forest of no man's land before readjusting the spiritual net. , and he was even more puzzled in his heart, not understanding what Marus was planning.

Leo didn't know that the blasphemy he said casually and the experimental use of imitating the divine power of the Lord of the Sky inadvertently aroused a series of associations in Marus, and finally began to doubt whether his current beliefs were still pious. There was a problem with Ruth's original belief, which made him start to deny and doubt himself because of a little stimulation from the outside world.

Although Leo didn't understand the reason for Marus's retreat, he knew that at least in a short period of time, it should be impossible to fight against the strongest combat power of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and he didn't need to think about how to break through the opponent's layer for the time being. The turtle shell is gone.

"How is it?" After Leo returned to Sylvia's room on the top floor of the IRS, several people couldn't wait to ask. Obviously, the famous Marus also brought them a lot of pressure.

"I moved my hand and gained a lot. Now he has gone back the same way." Leo replied simply.

"Retreat?" Hearing Leo's words, several people were a little surprised, because as Leo thought before, Marus in their impression was not a person who would retreat in spite of difficulties.

"You seriously injured him?" Emily asked.

"No." Leo shook his head, and said truthfully: "The divine power of the Lord of the Sky contained in his body is very powerful, my attack can hardly cause fatal damage to him, and of course he can't make any effective counterattack against him. However, Since he was able to complete the divine descent technique twice, he must be able to complete the third time. If he uses the divine descent technique, even I can only choose to retreat, so judging from the actual situation, he should have an advantage. "

"In this case, why did he retreat?" Su couldn't help asking.

"I'm also surprised." Leo shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless expression. He didn't think about this question on the top of the building just now, and naturally he wouldn't have an answer now. Then he didn't continue this topic, and turned to Xi Sylvia, said: "In the process of fighting against Marus just now, I got a good thing."

Following him, he briefly and quickly talked about the situation of the god-given equipment on Marus obtained through the scanning of the spiritual network.

"This is great! Can you restore that set of equipment?" Sylvia immediately showed a pleasant expression on her face when she heard that. She had already heard about the divine power steam equipment that the master of the sky would research. , I also know some details about the power of this set of equipment from Marus's various records, but it is a pity that this set of equipment is regarded as the top secret by the Church of the Lord of the Sky. Some people in the church obtained relevant information.

Now she can only rely on some information that has been made public by the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and she has glimpsed some mysteries of this equipment, and developed some imitation steam armor through the R\u0026D team within the Dodd Group.

It's just that these steam armors have some defects more or less, and they also require extremely high physical fitness of the users. Even ordinary superhumans find it difficult to use this steam armor.

This is mainly because the power of these steam armors is a small steam power furnace designed by Leo, which is purely mechanical and does not involve any extraordinary power, so it is heavier than the steam power furnace of the armor on Marus. And huge, only a super soldier who has undergone a lot of body modification can fight the enemy while wearing such heavy equipment, otherwise, even a powerful body like Marus who has undergone divine power transformation, it may be difficult to wear such steam armor freely Do some simple actions.

Before meeting Marus, Leo had imagined further improvements to this steam armor, and he also mentioned this to Sylvia, but his idea of ​​improvement was to improve the materials used to make the armor, Miniaturize the steam powered furnace, reduce the weight of the armor, and add some supernatural powers such as magic runes to the armor.

Although this improvement can also allow the wearer of the armor to have the ability to use extraordinary power, but this ability is foreign, not its own, and each use has a limit on the number of times, and after it is used up, it needs a corresponding The Transcendent re-energizes the runes on this suit of armor.

However, the heavy armor on Marus and the warhammer in his hand let Leo see another transformation direction, which is the perfect combination of extraordinary power and steam equipment, and the plan conceived in his mind is not just It is not on single-person combat armor, but on larger steam mechanical devices, such as super-large war fortresses, flying fortresses, and so on.

Leo didn't hide his thoughts, but directly narrated them to Sylvia. After listening to Leo's idea, not only Sylvia felt a little unbelievable, but even the other people in the room Everyone looked at Leo as if they were looking at a monster, and even Su bluntly asked whether Leo had delusions.

No wonder they were so surprised, because in their conception, the largest steam mechanical device in the entire world should be the airship of the former emperor of the French Empire, but now Leo told them that he planned to build A huge steam device the size of a city that can fly in the air or walk on the ground, which makes it difficult for them to imagine what a monster it would be like.

However, they didn't know that Leo was not aimlessly, because he already had a prototype in his mind, that is, the steam war fortress that Lake Town set up in the border area to resist the fog monsters.

Although with the changes in the world, the energy efficiency of the mechanical devices in Vinylon World is several times stronger than in the past, but compared with the mechanical energy efficiency of the foggy world in Hushang Town, there is still a big gap. It is difficult to copy the war fortress in Lake Town to make it work normally in this world, but if you combine the extraordinary power contained in Malus' equipment and the combination of steam mechanical devices, then Leo is sure to create a more powerful steam power Furnace, and it is also possible to use extraordinary power to further amplify the energy efficiency of the machine after operation, making war fortresses is no longer a fantasy.

"Can you really make something like that?" Sylvia, who had recovered from the shock, couldn't help asking in confirmation.

Leo said a little conservatively: "I can't guarantee it 100%, but even if it fails, I can use the technology to create other useful things."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia was not disappointed, but showed a thoughtful expression. After a while, she turned to Su and said: "It seems that we need to change the development plan we made before. Now, that abandoned plan can also be brought up again.”

"Abandoned plan?" Su was stunned for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "You mean the nation-building plan?"

Sylvia nodded. Seeing this, Su hesitated a little, as if he was worried about something, while Emily had an excited face, acting very happy.

After Sylvia led her property in the United Kingdom and her subordinates to move to the New Porto area of ​​the Mozambique mainland, she has been aiming to control the New Porto area, from the private sector to the government, from the chamber of commerce to the army. Now that the Dodd Group has become the substantive power holder in the New Porto area, every decree can only be implemented after it has been reviewed by the Dodd Group in the municipal council of the New Porto area. go down.

So a long time ago, the senior leaders of the Dodd Group and the politicians in the New Bodo area secretly discussed whether they should break away from the Kuishan Allies, establish a Bodo Kingdom, and let Sylvia or Tolan be crowned king.

Although Sylvia was a little moved by this, after finally considering the surrounding environment and her own strength, she chose to shelve this plan.

Dodd Group is the top in Mozambique in terms of local forces and business organizations, but if it is put at the national level, then the overall strength of Dodd Group is obviously not particularly outstanding, even if Sylvia's First Witch Squad is one of the best supernatural powers in the Velen Continent, but this is not enough to make up for the lack of strength of the Dodd Group.

The governments of the Mozambique mainland have already taken a lot of care of the Dodd Group, using various decrees to restrict the development of the Dodd Group to the south, and also using various overt and covert methods to target the Dodd Group.

Although the relationship between the Kuishan Allies and the Dodd Group is also very bad, for the huge tax revenue that the Dodd Group pays every year, it will more or less resist some attacks from the national level for Dodd, ensuring that the Dodd Group stable development.

But if the Dodd Group establishes a country in Bodo, then without the protection of the Kuishan Allies, the various blows and restrictions encountered by the Dodd Group will be more violent and stronger than now, so Sylvia, who has seen the disadvantages Only then will the establishment of the country be suppressed and put on hold for the time being.
