Chapter 496: The Will to Kill God
The size of the God-killing Armor is so huge that even the tall and burly Steam Knight is like a toy in front of it.

In the center of the banquet hall is a huge high-ceiling space, which is obtained by directly connecting the three-story banquet hall. The actual height is 15 meters, and the decoration on the top of the God-killing Armor almost touches the ceiling.

In order to bring in this huge metal creation and make it stand up, the hotel even removed the huge crystal chandelier in the center of the banquet hall.

There is no doubt that this is much more exciting than Steam Knight.

This huge steel giant is equipped with heavy armor that is absolutely impossible for ordinary Steam Knights to bear. Its shape is completely different from the design of traditional knight armor on the Steam Knight. Instead, it uses inclined armor with a large angle, making it look completely different from the Steam Knight.

But at the same time, this large-angle armor design also makes this metal creature look even larger and more burly, giving people a great sense of oppression.

Originally, Perfect didn't want to continue using the humanoid design. After all, equipment like the Steam Knight, which is similar to power armor, is fine, but the humanoid design is more in line with the user's wearing habits.

However, the size of the God-killer Armor is no less than that of a Gundam or Titan, so it seems a bit redundant to still use the humanoid design.

Apart from anything else, the stability, balance and flexibility of the humanoid body are inferior to those of other forms of design.

To give the simplest example, is it better to have two legs or four legs?

Therefore, at the beginning, Perfect wanted to develop it into a heavy-duty firepower platform that could walk on four legs and be equipped with more modern weapons such as artillery and heavy machine guns.

For this purpose, she also specially designed a 120mm smoothbore cannon, trying to use it as the main weapon of the God-killing Armor.

However, Weier rejected her design and asked her a question instead: "Can your artillery hit a Grand Knight or Knight of Honor wearing Steam Knight Armor?"

This question was indeed difficult for Perfect to answer.

Can artillery hit a Grand Knight or Knight of the Order wearing Steam Knight armor? The answer is of course yes, but only in theory.

Because for a big knight, as long as he is not hit in the face by a close-range cannon, their reaction ability combined with the performance of the steam knight armor can completely avoid the landing point of the cannonball after seeing the cannon fired, and avoid being hit or hit directly.

Without being hit directly by a shell, it is difficult to make a Steam Knight lose its combat effectiveness given the performance of its armor.

It is true that the shock and shock wave generated by the explosion of the shells are enough to kill any ordinary person exposed within its effective killing range, but the Steam Knight himself is an extraordinary being and has sufficient immunity and resistance to this level of damage.

Therefore, if you want to destroy or kill a Steam Knight, unless you can cover it with saturation firepower, you can only rely on another Steam Knight to engage in close combat.

Of course, long-range attacks are not completely ineffective, but because the design of this thing itself is too ahead of its time, and weapon technology has not kept up, current firearms and artillery are seriously insufficient to kill Steam Knights, making it difficult for most long-range attacks to hit, or simply just scratching the target.

After all, you can't expect a lead bullet fired from a flintlock rifle to penetrate a composite bulletproof armor that is one centimeter thick. That is something that even the steel core armor-piercing bullets produced with modern technology in the original world can hardly do.

Not to mention the knights' speed and reaction ability, they are fully capable of avoiding the trajectory of the bullet before the shot is fired.

As for the shells? In this era without fire control computers and radars, if you expect to use a shell to hit a humanoid target that can move at a speed of 80km/h, the gunner must either be very lucky or be a supernatural person whose artillery skills have reached legendary levels.

There is no need to explain the former, but as for the latter... Although there are extraordinary people in this world who specialize in long-range attacks, there are none at the legendary level or in the profession of gunner.

Under such circumstances, Wei'er would naturally think that long-range weapons are of little significance in the battle between extraordinary people.

Just as it was never the musket itself that eliminated knights, but the army that could be trained in large quantities and cheaply as well as the changes in the socio-economic structure, close combat is still an extremely effective means of combat in this era.

Especially when the enemy that Perfectot anticipated was a being of the level of a god, it was hard to say whether a weapon like artillery, which had no special lethality, could hurt a god.

This is also an important reason why Perfect and Wei'er often have disagreements during the development of the God-killing Armor.

Wei'er is relatively more familiar with gods, so her thinking is mainly based on traditional magic confrontation and melee combat, while Perfectcot's thinking is more inclined towards the technological route of the original world, preferring machine guns and cannons.

In Perfectot's opinion, if one shot fails to hit or kill, then he can use firepower coverage and a large equivalent. If that doesn't work, there is always Einstein's flip-flops. There is always one that is suitable to teach those gods what the power of human civilization is.

But there is a big problem with doing this, which is the cost-effectiveness.

Fire coverage can indeed use artillery to kill honorary knights wearing steam knight armor, and even legendary knights may not be immune to the firepower attack of heavy artillery clusters, but the cost-effectiveness of doing so is too low.

The best way to deal with high-end combat power is to use high-end combat power of the same level to deal with it.

This is exactly the original intention of Perfectoct to develop the God-killing Armor.

So when the God-killing Armor was finally presented to everyone, although it did follow more of Perfectoc's design ideas, its combat mode and weapon configuration were more inclined towards traditional magic confrontation and melee combat.

For this reason, it is understandable that the God-killing Armor was designed in human form.

For humans, all fighting skills are developed based on the human body structure. Only by making the mecha into a human form can the fighting skills be better exerted.

However, these are not important to the guests who saw the God-killing Armor, because to them, this metal behemoth that is more than ten meters tall is as shocking as the Titan, and it makes people feel an invincible chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Even some of the guests who were originally standing nearby instinctively stepped back, fearing that they would be accidentally stepped on to death by this huge metal giant.

Although they knew it was impossible, it did not stop them from feeling physically scared and terrified. "A metal creature of this size, what else in the world can stop it?" A guest exclaimed, and a picture of this metal behemoth easily tearing apart a castle or sacrificing a fortress appeared in his mind.

To this behemoth, all the fortifications built by humans in the past are like toys.

As for the army? There were many veterans present, but no one thought that the army could resist or destroy the metal behemoth before them.

"Ms. Countess Brandlis, may I ask what is your purpose in developing and designing this... God-killing armor? If you want to rule the world..." Someone asked a question without thinking, but surprisingly no one stopped him.

After all, the shock brought to everyone by the God-killing Armor in front of them was too great. Everyone was thinking the same question: what does the Victoria Empire intend to do, or what does Perfectoct intend to do.

At this time, Perfect was even treated as a separate force, rather than just being regarded as a count of the Victoria Empire.

Because the God-killing Armor is enough to give Perfectot the confidence and strength to conquer the entire world. This thing is simply not something that can be resisted by mortal force!
King Redil, who was standing aside, looked at the God-killing Armor and recalled that Perfectok had asked him for powerful magic items. He even had an absurd guess in his mind that these ancient magic items might be able to damage the God-killing Armor. Perfectok was using this method to undermine the ability of various countries to fight against the God-killing Armor.

But soon, King Redil denied his idea because it made no sense.

The powerful magic items kept in reserve by various countries do have the ability to damage the God-killing Armor, but the problem is that there cannot be too many such powerful items. It is already very remarkable for each country to have one or two such items kept in reserve, and there is simply no way they can have more.

In this situation, Perfect can completely use ordinary Steam Knight in conjunction with the God-killing Armor, forcing the opponent to choose one of the two.

Choose the God-killing Armor, and ordinary Steam Knights can still flatten your country.

And if you choose ordinary Steam Knight, what are you going to use to resist a steel giant that is more than ten meters high?

Do you really think you can summon the mythical giant soldiers or Titans?

So what exactly does Perfector want to do? The Steam Knight Armor she created is enough to make Victoria and herself invincible. It is not impossible to negotiate if she wants to conquer the world. The God Killing Armor is completely a dragon-slaying skill. It is completely unimaginable what kind of goal requires the construction of such a huge weapon.

As for saying that this God-killing Armor is fake, is it just an empty shell?

I'm afraid no one dares to bet on this possibility, because for Perfectot, she really has the ability to create a god-killing armor!

Guests arriving at New Shak these days may have seen the large-scale engineering robots currently involved in the construction of shelters and energy towers in the city.

The size of those robots was no smaller than the God-killing Armor, and their existence was obviously enough to prove that Perfectoct was able to build such large mechanical bodies and make them actually move.

Therefore, no one would doubt the authenticity of the God-killing Armor in front of them. At most, they would guess whether it would take three minutes or five minutes to demolish a castle.

However, Perfect did not give any explanation to everyone's questions. She just used the flying stone hidden in advance to fly to the shoulder of the God Killer Armor, stood on it and looked down at all the guests, and then said in an ethereal voice: "I will provide all countries in need with energy towers, shelters and other related technical information needed to survive this doomsday disaster, but this is not a free gift. I need those powerful magic props or alchemical creations, or ancient and mythological information.

As for the God-killing Armor, it was not developed for you. I have already said the purpose of developing it. It is prepared for killing gods."

After saying that, Perfect jumped off the God Killer Armor.

Jumping from a height of more than ten meters, the hem of Perfecto's skirt inlaid with a large number of gems was lifted high, and it looked like a shining flag under the light.

--------------

After the God-killing Armor was unveiled, all the guests were obviously no longer interested in discussing any other topics. At this moment, the focus of everyone at the banquet was on this God-killing Armor that was so huge that it was beyond everyone's imagination.

People were wondering how powerful this armor was, and they also made many guesses about Perfectoc's purpose in developing it.

But none of this mattered to Perfect herself. She was currently discussing with Queen Victoria and a number of important imperial officials how to deal with the evil cult.

After the God-killing Armor was unveiled, the Queen immediately requested a central meeting and summoned a number of important officials from the Victoria Empire's central government to discuss the issue of the God-killing Armor.

"Is this the reason why you, Earl Brandlis, suddenly left Langton before? To develop the god-killing armor to deal with the possible descent of God by the evil god sect?" Because when Perfectcott was in Langton before, many of his actions were not hidden. Although some important information was not made public, it was still known to the important officials at the core of the empire.

Faced with this question, Perfect nodded happily: "Yes, this is a godslayer sword that I forged to fight against the gods! Its imaginary enemies are those old gods that may be summoned!"

At this point, Perfect looked around, glanced at everyone and said, "Of course, if you are really afraid of the God-killing Armor, then I can also use other methods to fight against those old gods, but the corresponding...

Cover the city with heavy artillery clusters, or use more powerful thermobaric bombs, whichever you prefer."

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, and they obviously understood what Perfect meant.

If you want to fight against the Old Gods, you either have to use powerful combat units with high combat power such as the God-killing Armor, or you have to sacrifice human lives at the cost of losing an entire city.

After all, whether it is a heavy artillery cluster bombardment or a more powerful thermobaric bomb, the old gods cannot just sit there and take the bombing. They can only use human lives to hold back the enemy and then they can use heavy firepower.

In comparison, using the God-killing Armor seems to be a relatively low-cost option.

"Can a mere God-killing armor really fight against gods?" Someone asked this crucial soul-searching question.
