Chapter 1579 The Incomplete Saint (Still considering how to write it)

"Rumble, rumble..."

Along with a loud roar, the heavy stone statue began to collapse and crack. The huge outer shell of the stone statue in front of everyone also cracked, revealing the true existence hidden inside.

It was a huge metal door, black with gold edges, and it looked like it was filled with some kind of unusual atmosphere. However, the most eye-catching thing was the symbol on the door.

"Hey?"

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 the one they saw on the gate of the God's Machinery. If there was any difference, it was that the logo on the God's Machinery was a skull and a double-headed eagle, while the logo here was a circle of gears surrounding a skull.

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

Then, the door slowly opened, revealing the existence hidden inside.

It was a coffin.

Its appearance is similar to the body of a Dreadnought, but it has no hands or feet, and is tightly bound by countless heavy chains.

Then, the inorganic voice sounded again.

[Power Armor Features Detected]

[Data matches, Grand Inquisitor, theory exists]

Then, a servo skull flew out and hovered in front of Duanmu Huai. Seeing this strange thing, everyone behind him was in a commotion, but Duanmu Huai just stared at the servo skull and asked.

“Who is the authorized person?”

[Retrieving...authorized person, Great Sage, Belisarius Cawl]

Dora Kaur?

It must be said that Duanmu Huai was quite surprised to hear this familiar name here. He certainly would not forget that when he traveled through time and space again, he had met the great sage Dora Kaur in Cadian and the two had cooperated for a short period of time.

Hmm...it's impossible that the person in the coffin is Dora Kaur?
"What are the duties 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 take a look myself. In the name of the Grand Inquisitor, I request the transfer of the underlying data."

[……………Understood. Following your orders, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor. Data transmission in progress…]

Soon, a data cable extended from the servo skull 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.

Simply put, this is also part of the experiment of creating an artificial god.

It was said a long time ago that when the Black Sun Plan came, humans cleansed everything in the Milky Way, including themselves. In order to seize the power and territory of the Chaos Four 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 Gods now. At least under the protection of the Crystal Wall System and the watchful eyes of the Gods of Faerun, the Chaos Gods who have not yet fully recovered really have no way to deal with that world.

This world is also a testing ground for the god-making plan, but its original intention is somewhat different.

If the gods in Faerun are allowed to roam freely in the wild, then they are cultivated here in a designated place. The mechanical sects here try to cultivate gods in another way. After all, an uncontrolled god will not necessarily protect humans, and may even destroy humans.

So how do we cultivate a god who protects humanity?
So they came up with the concept of "brave man".

A "hero" is someone who protects humanity from disasters and defeats the evil that threatens humanity. If this concept can be fixed and refined, then it is possible to create a "hero god." Such a god will naturally protect humanity and drive away the evil that threatens humanity.

The idea is good, but it is not so simple to put into practice, so the Mechanicus 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 a threat to humans, they deliberately made the demons non-human. And they put something like a thought stamp in their brains, so that the demons would actively attack humans.

On the human side, the Mechanicus also made the same design, the only difference is that in order to avoid the appearance of multiple heroes causing the experimental parameters to be unstable, 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 Hero's Divine Protection was not as perverted as it is now. It can be said that the Hero's Divine Protection at that time only gave the Hero the courage to fight against the demons and the Demon King.

But later, with the superposition of 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 this time that the priests of the Mechanicus realized that they had messed up.

As mentioned before, the gods of faith are born from people's faith, so they will inevitably be influenced by faith, and this is the case with the gods of Faerun. The "God of Bravery" that the Mechanical Priest is trying to create here is essentially also a god of faith. In addition, unlike the gods of Faerun, it is not upgraded from mortals and still retains its own master personality.

The God of Heroes was originally just a fictional concept incarnation.

So it goes without saying that its nature will be influenced by the believers who "believe" in the hero.

Hence those changes.

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

The brave do 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.

Alienated beliefs polluted the essence of the concept of a hero, which also allowed the mechanical priests to discover the problem. The overly abnormal characteristics of a hero could no longer be adjusted and purified. If they continued to cultivate him, this hero would not only fail to become the patron saint of mankind, but might even become the destroyer of mankind.

Fortunately, these guys always prepare for both situations. As early as the beginning of the implementation of the Brave Plan, they created another plan at the same time.

The Saint Project.

After all, in the legend, the saint and the hero are always opposite to each other, and the hero defeating the devil under the guidance of the saint is also a regular legendary 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 hero's characteristics had deteriorated and the plan had failed, the Mechanical Priest integrated the concept of the Saint, created a Saint, and imprisoned and preserved her in this coffin.

In this way, the power gained 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 hero's concept protection to stay at this level and can no longer be upgraded. After that, the group of oil men patted their butts and ran away.

Hmm...it fits the characteristics of these bastards who mess up and run away.

No, strictly speaking, it’s not a mess…

At the end, a light appeared in Duanmu Huai's eyes.

These bastards really make the best use of things... Forget it, just consider it a gift from Dora Kaur to myself.

"Open the stasis chamber." Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai gave the order.

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

“Puff————!”

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

She was a young girl, or rather...a saint.

However, there was something wrong with the appearance of this saint.

From the outside, she looked like a saint, with shining golden hair that reached the ground, white cheeks, blue eyes full of holiness and love, and a white veil on her head, all of which indicated her identity as a saint. Well, if you only look at her head, just look at her head.

Because below the neck, it’s a different story.

Although the female figure can be seen, in fact, except for the head, the saint is made entirely of machinery. It can be said that... the mechanization is so advanced that even the judge would find it dangerous. She holds a long staff in her arms, and at the top of the staff is a golden scale...

"Saint!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Seeing this scene, the young brave man 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 grant me the power of a brave man to destroy all the evil in this world!"

“…………………………”

The Mechanical Saint opened her eyes wide, glanced indifferently at the young hero kneeling at her feet, then turned around and looked at Duanmu Huai.

Then she stood up and lowered her head towards Duanmu Huai.

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

"Hey?"

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

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

Although he was pinned to the ground by the guards again, the boy still did not give up. He stared at the Mechanical Saint and shouted loudly. After all, according to the legend, the brave man who was guided by the Saint was invincible. As long as he could gain the Saint's recognition, he would have a stronger power than before. At that time, he would destroy all evil!
However, the saint didn't even look at him, but just looked at the evil demon king... Damn, the demon king must have bewitched the saint in some way, that must be the case!

"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 - even though it was just a piece of metal that had no touch at all.

Then the next moment, a flash of light appeared on the body of the Mechanical Saint, and then she disappeared into the air.

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

[The Incomplete Saint. Limonium (Legend)]

[Consumption: 4]

[Attack: 4]

[Consumption: 3]

[Entrance Song (Explosive Evolution): Gain the ability to evolve this Servant without consuming any energy]

[After evolution: Give the main fighter 'Whenever your mechanical servant is destroyed, add a "Redemption of Limonem" to your hand.]

[The Redemption of Limonium (Legend)]

[Consumption: 0]

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

【Tianyao Shield (Legend)】

[Consumption: 9]

[Attack: 8]

[Defense: 8]

[All damage inflicted on this Servant is converted to 0, and this Servant is not affected by abilities other than changing attack and life abilities (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 guy, this is really good guy!
When Duanmu Huai saw these soul cards, he felt like he was about to jump up!
This [Incomplete Saint] itself is not too powerful, but what is important is the [Heavenly Shield] brought about 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 at the end, 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 a hero. After all, the concept of a hero is expressed in this way, 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 should know that on the battlefield, the enemy's attack will be borne first by the card with the [Guardian] attribute. After the card with the [Guardian] attribute is defeated, it will be the turn of other cards. 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 [Shield of Heaven], then the enemy must first destroy the Shield of Heaven before it can cause damage to other targets.

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

If it were the Chaos Evil God, then the Wrath of Tyranny would be eliminated, as it would definitely not be able to defeat the Sky-Shining Shield Armor!
As for the other three, it is hard to say. After all, [Tianyao Shield] only prevents normal attacks, but the effect of [weakening attacks and physical strength] is still affected.

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

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

that's enough!
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that in this world, he could actually get such benefits...
