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

"Rumble, rumble..."

With a loud roar, the thick stone statue began to collapse and crack, and the shell of the huge stone statue in front of everyone was cracked, revealing the true existence hidden inside.

It was a huge metal door with a black background and gold rim. It seemed to be filled with some kind of abnormal aura. However, the most eye-catching thing is the sign on the door.

"Why?"

It has to be said that Freya and Noren were both stunned when they saw this sign, because the style of this sign was exactly the same as what they saw on the mechanical door of God. To be different, the symbol on God's Machine is a skull and a double-headed eagle, while the symbol 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, revealing the existence hidden inside.

It was a coffin.

Its appearance is similar to the body of a fearless mecha, but it has no arms and legs, and is **** tightly with countless thick chains.

Then, the inorganic voice sounded again.

[Power armor signature detected]

[The data matches, the Grand Inquisitor, the theory exists]

Immediately afterwards, a servo skull flew out from it and floated in front of Duanmu Huai. Seeing this weird thing, everyone behind him was in a commotion, but Duanmuhuai just stared at the servo skull and asked.

"Who is authorized?"

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

Doracall?

I have to say 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 Doracall in Cadian, and the two parties had briefly cooperated for a period of time.

Hmm... There's no way this coffin contains Doracall, right?

"What are the responsibilities here?"

[Reinforcement of the conceptualization of the brave man, research, integration, data errors, research failure, abandonment, reorganization, return to the first plan, saint execution, errors, organic cycle...]

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

[...Understood, follow the order, Your Excellency the Grand Inquisitor, data is being transmitted...]

Soon, a data cable stretched out from the servo skull and connected with Duanmuhuai's data terminal. Then, lines of research diary appeared in front of Duanmuhuai's eyes.

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

Simply put, this is part of the artificial **** experiment.

It was said a long time ago that when the Black Sun Plan came and mankind cleansed everything in the galaxy, including itself, in order to seize their power and territory while the Four Gods of Chaos were declining, mankind also carried out a god-making plan. The gods of Faerun are a very successful example, and they are indeed the front line against the evil **** of chaos. At least under the protection of the crystal wall system and the attention of the gods of Faerun, the evil **** of chaos who has not yet fully recovered can really take advantage of it. There is nothing you can do in that world.

And this world is also a testing ground for one of the god-making plans, but its original intention is a little different.

If the gods of Faerun are free-range in nature, then this is a designated cultivation. The Mechanical Cult here tries to cultivate the gods in another way. After all, an uncontrolled **** does not necessarily protect human beings, and even It could destroy humanity.

So how to cultivate a **** who protects humans?

So they came up with the concept of "brave".

Protecting mankind from disasters and defeating evil entities that threaten mankind are "braves". If this concept can be fixed and refined, then it is possible to create a "brave god". Such a **** is born to protect mankind and drive away evil entities that threaten mankind.

The idea is good, but the practice is not that simple, 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 put something like a thought stamp on their brains, so that the demons will take the initiative to attack humans.

On the human side, the Mechanicum has also made the same design. The only difference is that in order to prevent the emergence of multiple brave men from causing the experimental parameters to be unstable, they have strengthened and restricted the concept of "brave". In other words, in this test area, only one brave person will appear. Only after the death of this brave person will the protection be awakened in other people randomly.

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

But later, with the superposition of experiments again and again, after the brave man officially became the hope of mankind, the power brought by the superposition caused the nature of the brave man to mutate. And those powerful forces also emerged.

It was only then that the priests of the Mechanicus discovered that they had messed up.

As I said before, belief in gods is caused by people's beliefs, so it will inevitably be affected by beliefs. This is the case with the gods of Faerûn. The "God of Braves" that the Mechanic Priest is trying to create here is essentially a **** of faith. In addition, unlike the gods of Faerun, it is upgraded from a mortal and still retains its own personality.

The God of Warriors was just a fictional concept in the beginning.

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

Hence those changes.

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

Brave people don't feel pain, eat, drink or sleep, because people think that brave people can do things they can't do, so they must be different from them.

The alienated belief has polluted the essence of the concept of bravery, which also allowed the mechanical priests to discover the problem. The characteristics of the bravery that are too abnormal can no longer be adjusted and purified. If they continue to be cultivated, then this bravery will not become the patron saint of mankind. , and may even become the destroyer of mankind.

Fortunately, this group of oil guys are always prepared. As early as the early implementation of the Brave Plan, they created another plan at the same time.

Project Saint.

After all, in legends, the saint and the brave always correspond. The brave under the guidance of the saint defeats the devil, which can be regarded as a formal legend.

As a "supporting facility", the Saint will absorb the hero's power as a reserve and strengthen the hero when needed. After discovering that the hero's characteristics had deteriorated and the plan failed, the Mechanic Priest integrated the concept of a saint into a saint, and imprisoned and preserved her in this coffin.

In this way, the power gained by the hero defeating the demons will be transferred to the saint. However, the saint is imprisoned and cannot give back the power to the hero. As a result, the concept of protection for the hero can only stay at this level. It cannot be upgraded either. After that, the group of oil guys just patted their butts and ran away.

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

No, strictly speaking, it's not a mess...

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

These **** really make the best use of everything... Forget it, just think of it as a gift from Doracall.

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

[Received command, confirming permissions... Permissions confirmed, stop stasis field]

"Pfft——!"

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

That was a girl, or... a saint.

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

From the appearance, she looks like an out-and-out saint, with shining blond hair hanging down to the ground. The white cheeks, the azure eyes full of holiness and love, and the white veil on her head all indicate her identity as a saint - well, if you only look at the head, just look at the head.

Because below the neck, that's a different story.

Although the body shape of a woman can be seen, in fact, except for the head, this saint is entirely made of machinery. It can be said that... to this extent, even the inquisitor will find it very dangerous. She held a long staff in her hands, and at the top of the staff was a golden scale...

"Saint!"

Seeing this scene, the young brave man who was originally captured suddenly struggled fiercely. He broke away from the unprepared soldier, rushed in front of the mechanical saint, and then fell to his knees.

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

"………………"

The Mechanical Saint opened her eyes wide, glanced briefly at the young hero kneeling at her feet, and then turned back to look at Duanmu Huai.

Then, she stood up and lowered her head to Duanmuhuai.

"The person with the highest command authority has been detected. Please issue an order, Your Majesty the Grand Inquisitor. The specially created prosthetic body of the Mechanicus, Saint A21578 Limonem, obey your orders."

"Why?"

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

"Why... Saint, he is the evil devil! We must work together to defeat him! I am the brave!"

Although he was pushed to the ground again by the guards at this moment, the young man still did not give up. He stared at the Mechanical Saint and shouted loudly. After all, in the legend, a brave man who is guided by the Saint is invincible. As long as he can be recognized by the Saint, he will have more power than before. By that time, he will destroy all evil!

However, the saint didn't even look at him, she just looked at the evil devil... Damn it, that devil must have used some means to bewitch the saint, it must be so!

"Yes, since you are here, I won't be polite."

Of course Duanmu Huai 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 metal product that had no touch at all.

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.

[The Incomplete Saint, Limonem (Legend)]

[Consumption: 4]

[Attack: 4]

[Consumption: 3]

[Introduction Song (Explosive Evolution): Obtain the ability of this servant to evolve without any consumption]

[After evolution: Gives the main battler ‘Whenever his mechanical servant is destroyed, add a piece of “Limonem’s Redemption” to his hand]

【Limonem's Redemption (Legendary)】

[Consumption: 0]

[The Bishop or Mechanical Servant card in the hand costs -1. If redemption has been used 4 times, add a Radiant Shield to the hand]

[Tianyao Shield (Legendary)]

[Consumption: 9]

[Attack: 8]

[Defense: 8]

[The damage dealt to this follower is converted to 0, and the follower is not affected by abilities other than changing attack and life abilities (destruction, instant kill or disappearance are not effective on it)]

[Power of Protection (Bronze)]

[Consumption: 3]

[Give yourself +1/+2 and guardian effects to a follower]

Good guy, this is really good guy!

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

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

Look, what does "all damage dealt to this servant change to 0"? If it weren't for the special condition at the end, this would be simply invincible! Of course, Duanmu Huai also guessed that the ability of this [Tianyao Shield] may be embodied by the concept of bravery. After all, this is how the concept of the brave is expressed. It is obvious that this Tianyao Shield also absorbs the concepts and enhancement effects of the brave.

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

Although at first glance, this spell card is only of bronze level, the problem lies in the chemical effect caused by the superposition of it and [Tianyao Shield]!

You must know that on the battlefield, the enemy's attacks will be borne by cards with [Guard] characteristics first. Only after the cards with [Guard] characteristics are defeated will it be the turn of other cards. Ogis, for example, would often use the doll in her box as a shield to resist damage.

This also means that if you use the spell card [Power of Guardian] to give the [Guardian] characteristic to [Tianyao Shield], then the enemy must 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 methods!

If it were the Chaos Evil God, then the Cruel Wrath would be eliminated. It would definitely not be able to defeat the Tianyao Shield!

As for the other three, it's hard to say. After all, [Tianyao Shield] only doesn't take normal attacks, but its effect on [weakening attack and physical strength] is still affected.

This aspect is the expertise of the Stain of Corruption and the Evil of Obsession...

But no matter what, with this card, at least I have a trump card when facing normal 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...
