The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 73, Armor

"The helmet part is now complete, which is much faster than expected."

"Alecino's inner armor is also finished. Give it to her when you have time."

Fuget looked at the pile of parts in front of him and couldn't help rubbing his face.

The helmet system is the most complicated system, requiring the most runes to be engraved, and it also helps awaken auxiliary machine souls.

After integrating the power of balance into the breathing method, Fugate's work efficiency increased a lot.

After assembling the helmet and testing it, Fugate took the inner armor made from scraps and went to find Alecino.

Alechino's armor is not power armor, and in order to adapt to his body, his inner armor does not need to be as thick and heavy as that of the Fugate Ruins' Charmian.

Its inner armor is naturally lightweight, weighing only over 30 kilograms, which is lighter than the armor of ordinary Fatui advance team.

Of course, the defensive power of ceramic steel mixed with refined gold is far beyond the reach of those rubbish armors.

This inner armor alone is enough to allow Alechino to ignore most of the enemy's weak attacks in battles of the same level (LV90+).

Only some moves similar to ultimate skills can allow Alechino to dodge or respond.

Of course, all this is based on theory.

The real situation still needs to be tested by Alechino himself.

Thinking of this, Fuget's hand holding the inner armor stiffened for a moment.

This guy wouldn't come to me for testing again, right? I don't want to do that.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Fuget still handed the inner armor to Alechino who was processing the intelligence.

Alechino quickly went to her bedroom to try on the inner armor.

But Alecino did not come out quickly.

"Well... there is a problem." said Arlecino, who was wearing casual clothes.

"? What's the problem?" Fugate asked
Alechino glanced at the little brats who were surrounding him.

"Come in and talk." Alecino didn't know what to say.

After the demonstration, Ferget nodded and said, "I underestimated you. This part should be a size bigger. I didn't expect you to have such a good figure."

"But I had expected that this part is designed to be adjustable."

"I've adjusted it. This is already the largest one." Alecino said, "There was a problem with your design."

Fugate: “…”

Fugate actually wanted to say that my eyes are the ruler, but after looking carefully, Fugate gave up because there was indeed a little error.

Fugate had always thought that Alechino was at most a C+, so he designed the adjustable upper limit to be C++, but he didn't expect that this guy was a real D.

"It was indeed a design error." Fugate admitted his mistake, but then he had to worry about how to make changes. Although the inner armor was not molded in one piece, it was very difficult to change it.

The most important thing is that the runes have been engraved, so it becomes more difficult to change them.

Fortunately, there is good news. The inner armor adopts a modular design, and only the upper two pieces of the breastplate need to be replaced. The bad news is that the breastplate is the most troublesome part of the entire inner armor.

Because the central system is near the breastplate, although they are not the same module, the two breastplates also have certain tasks and are also important transit parts.

Linking the arms and monitoring the condition of the spine are both the tasks of the breastplate.

In comparison, the abdominal armor is more general, with no extra tasks and only two functions: detection and protection.

Fugate had no choice but to recast the breastplate and engrave new runes on it.

After installing the breastplate, Fugate handed the inner armor to Alechino who had been waiting on the side.

"I hope you are satisfied." Fuget said with a sigh, "By the way, I want to remind you that the inner armor only has the most basic protective capabilities. After all, the main function of the inner armor is not combat."

Just when Arlecino was about to say that he wanted to fight with Fuget to get a feel for his skills, he could only take back what he wanted to say in disappointment.

"You can wear the inner armor outside your underwear and inside your coat to get familiar with the weight of the inner armor."

"After all, you are not me and Xia Mian, and you have never used biological enhancement technology, so even this relatively light inner armor will have a certain impact on your combat ability. What you need to do is to fully adapt to it."

"By the way, I'd like to ask, how many times have you transformed into a violent person?"

"I have completed four violent transformations of my body, and I think I will be doing the fifth one soon." Alecino said, "Any questions?"

"No, I want to improve the design of the subsequent armor according to the degree of ferocity of your body."

After completing the ferocious transformation of the body three or more times, you can directly apply solid nutrient blocks and nutrient solution without applying nutrient paste for transition.

"When will my armor be ready?"

"It will take at least a year." Fugate said, "and because your armor design is not mature, the subsequent testing will be much slower than that of Xiamian and my power armor."

After all, the power armors of Fugate and Xiamian are all modified with very mature designs, while Alechino's power armor was designed by Fugate himself.

There is simply no comparison between the two in terms of design.

Time passed bit by bit, and Fugate became much more honest during this period.

After all, the Chief Inquisitor has personally said that he will keep an eye on him, and if he doesn't behave himself he will be subjected to a severe beating from the Dragon King.

"The Fatui have come for a mission." said Alecino.

"Oh? What mission?" Fugate, who was shaping the shell of his power armor arm, did not stop his work.

Alechino wouldn't ask him for normal tasks.

"The commander-in-chief's mission is to find the Heart of the God of Water." Alecino said, "But... the commander-in-chief and the queen promised me that if we get the Heart of the God of Water, we will be allowed to use it to save the people of Fontaine first, or at least to suppress the skyrocketing water level in Fontaine."

The rise in the water level in Fontaine did not happen overnight. In fact, there had been several surges in the water level before the high tide came.

From the various architectural ruins that sank to the bottom of the Fontaine Sea, we can tell that the water level rose many times.

"I'm going to test it out to see if the Heart of God is in Ms. Funina's body."

"Well, Furninna... Just don't scare her when you go there." Fuget said, "You should have carefully observed this water god."

"...Yes." Alechino nodded. "Compared to the other gods, this water god lacks 'divinity' and is full of 'humanity'. He doesn't even have much power."

"Moreover, the aura on him is not sacred, but full of curses."

"So what do you mean?"

"Don't put your hopes on Ms. Funina, even if she is really the God of Water." Fuget said, "If you have the time, you might as well go and talk to the Grand Inquisitor. Maybe you can get some information."

"How do you know for sure?" Alechino was curious.

"Well~ Let me put it this way, I have special skills in identifying people. I have met Ms. Funina before, and... I have met two Grass Gods." said Fugate.

"...Okay, but I still need to test Ms. Finina and confirm the information." Alecino said, "I will try not to scare her."

"I hope so." Fugate shook his head.

It only took Alechino two weeks to accomplish his goal, and the task was incredibly easy.

"Just like you said, the Heart of God is not in her."

Because of Fgate's words, before Finina could even react, she was attacked by Alechino.

"Sometimes I really doubt whether she is really the water goddess." Alechino asked the question she encountered. "I feel like she doesn't seem to have any divine power."

Fuget stopped carving the runes and said, "Whether she is the water goddess is not decided by us, but by the people of Fontaine."

······
"It looks like a big plan is about to begin." Alechino handed the letter paper containing the internal information to Fuget.

Fuget took it and looked at it. At the top was written the words "top secret intelligence" in the winter language, and below was the specific content.

"I see. The Lady of the Eighth Seat has successfully seized the Heart of God from Barbatos, the Wind Demon God." Fuget stroked his chin. "No wonder this guy hasn't come to Hearth House for a long time."

In the past, the Lady would come to the Hearth House every few months, sometimes to visit the children, and sometimes to visit her grandmother Hetala.

"Gather all the hearts of God that contain wisdom and authority." "Then rebel against the law of nature."

"What a willful choice." Fugate said, "It seems that our plan needs to be accelerated."

Fugate began to work overtime, spending an extra half day every week to instruct the craftsmen in selecting better quality ore cores.

Furnace after furnace of high-quality ceramic steel that exceeded the Fugate standards was smelted.

By the way, he worked overtime to build the machine and completed his power armor three months ahead of schedule.

"What do you think?" asked Fugate.

"Such great power." Alechino said with emotion.

"That's right." Fuget said with a sigh, "It took nearly two years to make the ceramic steel and gold alloy. If the effect is not good, I might as well go to the Order Institute to complete the God-making Mecha together."

"God-making mecha?"

"Oh~ Little Lucky Grass King proposed to build a demon-level mecha based on the ruins colossus." Fugate said, "The doctor seems to be very interested in this plan."

Fugate said as if he didn't mean to say anything.

"When will my armor be ready?" Alechino asked after taking a deep breath.

"Very quickly," said Fugate.

"Soon is so soon."

"It took a month for the initial production to be completed," said Fugate.

Alechino's [Evil Moon Fire] type rapid reaction armor is different from Forgate's [Fermented Pearls and Jade] type ceramsite steel and gold alloy Terminator power armor (referred to as [Fermented Pearls and Jade] type power armor).

If the [沤珠瑾艳] type power armor is a thick and big iron block, then Alechino's [噩月劫火] type rapid response armor is an iron rod carved with flowers.

The fully loaded [Fuzhu Jinyan] type power armor weighs up to 13.8 tons, but the fully loaded [Eyue Jiehuo] type rapid response armor weighs only 3.2 tons.

However, most of the systems on the power armor are also available on the rapid response armor, but there is almost no comparability between the two, and most of them are simplified.

Although a lot of systems need to be added, since the wearer is not an ordinary person, some systems of the [Evil Moon Fire] type rapid response armor can be made rougher, such as the shock absorption system. After all, Fugate is not very good at this.

After all, he was in a hurry. Of course, Fuget had completed some necessary systems very well. Fuget was not a doctor and he would not joke about the lives of his allies.

Besides, those systems are crude, but they still exist and just need to be improved later.

"It seems that I have forgotten something." Fuget scratched his head. "Oh, now I remember that the Kingdom of God space seems to have not been handed over to Alechino yet."

This is because I was busy and forgot.

Before Fugate went to find Alecino, Alecino pushed open the door of the studio.

"Fuget, you need to know about this situation..."

"This is?"

"As you can see, your rapid response armor, but some of the systems inside were rushed out, so they need fine-tuning," Fugate said.

"And there is one more thing, that is, you need to sublimate your essence and integrate it into the kingdom of God."

"Otherwise the armor alone would be enough to drive you crazy."

Compared with the huge power armor, the various systems of the rapid response armor are more integrated, so it is naturally more troublesome to engrave the runes.

Therefore, it needs to be simplified, and the effect will naturally be much worse after simplification.

It will take time for Arlecino to adapt and then watch the improvements.

"By the way, what were you going to say just now?" asked Fugate.

"The Rock King Morax has been murdered." Alechino rubbed his temple and said, "Now the Thousand Rocks Army and the Seven Stars and Eight Gates have locked their suspicions on us, the Fatui."

"...Although we the Fatui are good at taking the blame, we shouldn't be blamed like this."

"And I remember that the 'Rooster' and the Seven Stars had a very happy cooperation a few years ago."

If the Fatui could assassinate the Rock King, would they have to go through so much trouble? Wouldn't they just have to rob the Hearts of God from each country?

So who is the executive in charge of Liyue’s specific affairs now?

"It's the Fatui's last prince, Tartaglia." Arachno said, "You may not know this, but he joined the Fatui three years ago and became an executive officer of the Fatui only half a year ago."

"He is still very young, only nineteen years old this year," said Alechino.

"A young boy?" Fuget raised his eyebrows. "I really don't know what kind of genius he is to be as good as you."

Alechino also possessed the strength of an executive officer at the age of nineteen.

"He has great talent. He has learned most of the weapon techniques you left in Winter Solstice." Alechino's evaluation was quite objective. "But in terms of strength, although he has broken through the last limit (LV80+), he is still far from our level."

Even the pinnacle of Genshin Impact can be divided into three stages.

The first stage is LV81-LV90, which is the stage that Tartaglia is in now. Although it is stronger than others, it is not overwhelmingly powerful.

The second stage is for strong people who have stayed at LV90 for a long time and can burst out to LV91-LV95 in a short period of time. Most of the executives of the Fatui have this level of strength after the outbreak of the Evil Eye. They have overwhelming strength for ordinary people and are enough to crush most of the demons' followers.

The third stage is the stage that Fget and Alechino are in now. Without the help of armor, they can burst out the strength of LV96-LV99. They can crush the more powerful demon followers and have overwhelming strength against the regular top gods.

This stage has reached the foundation for becoming a god.

Alechino and Fuget sometimes practiced to become gods.

However, cultivation is a slow process and cannot be rushed.

They are currently all in the first stage of their first god-making practice, incorporating the rules into their bodies.

That is to say, the stage of making the external magic organ, the Eye of God, become an internal magic organ, and using one's own body to carry the fragments of rules.

I don't know how the doctor did it, but what Fugate wanted to do was to use a combination of meditation and breathing techniques.

Use spiritual energy to absorb the various auras, charms and even information emitted by the fragments of rules, and then absorb them into yourself through breathing.

Then, elemental symbols like tattoos appeared on Fugate's body.

This elemental tattoo generally only appears on a person's body when the Eye of God is awakened, and once it appears it will no longer increase or decrease.

When Fuget awakened, he awakened the symbol of water element on his arm.

It is the most orthodox symbol of elemental power, and is in line with the power of water.

I feel a little unwell and it has been going on for some time.

I am going to adjust the chapter rate back to 2k, the daily update rate back to 4k, and take care of my body.

However, I don’t plan to adjust the 5k chapters that have been written. I really don’t feel like doing that. Currently, there are about 5 chapters of 15k.

I feel so exhausted that I even uninstalled the game "Zero" (I don't want to play it anymore). Let's just leave it like that for now.

I also reorganized the outline. The previous writing was relatively good thanks to the outline. The outline for the latter part is a bit rough, so I will revise it and sort out the subsequent plot.
