Ark Undead

"Yes."

When Melantha heard the doctor ask this question, she knew that the doctor had roughly guessed her current situation.

Only a PhD would have such thinking and ability to understand everything from just one question.

"I need Amiya. Whether it's for the sake of the teacher or Terra's future, we can't let Theresis in her full form see the teacher."

Melanie said.

"Remember to have Amiya bring an extra set of rings; there definitely won't be enough."

Then, the doctor fell into a brief silence.

Problems that require a PhD to think about over time are not simple matters.

Melantha could even hear the sound of the Doctor's fingers tapping on the table through her headphones.

After a silence that lasted for more than ten seconds, the doctor finally spoke.

“I think I understand. You and Skadi go back to the main camp first, and I'll have Amiya go find you.”

"Phew, okay."

Melantha breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had expected the Doctor to be easy, she still felt a little relieved when the Doctor actually agreed to her request.

"Thank you, Doctor."

"No need, you've worked hard."

The doctor paused for a moment, his feelings somewhat complicated.

"Could you tell me if you were still a friend of Rhodes Island at that time? There shouldn't be any so-called time paradox, right? Since you're already here, it means that this is part of history."

Melantha chuckled softly in the earpiece, then said.

"Elite Operator Bonfire reporting for duty, Doctor. Thank you for your help. Leave the rest to me!"

...

Meanwhile, in the central square of the lower city of Londinium, the battle between the dragon and the steam-armored creatures was nearing its end.

Under the gradually weakening abyssal death light of the dragon, the giant steam knight stomped deep footprints into the ground step by step.

The originally thick abyssal death ray gradually became thinner and thinner, and the steam knight's forward running pace became faster and faster.

Each step kicked up huge plumes of dust. And when it actually started running, it meant that the dragon's breath had ended.

A massive shield, over ten meters wide, was carried by a steam-powered armor-clad figure as they advanced, its surface braced against the abyssal death rays.

Then, with each stride of the run, the immense kinetic energy was channeled through the swinging of the arms, causing the dragon to collide head-on.

boom!

The shield made contact with the dragon's head, the hard metal striking the massive dragon's head. It was like an experienced knight skillfully using a shield bash to strike the enemy's head squarely.

As the heir to the royal family, Vina's preferred weapon is a hammer, but for her, these qualities essential to a king are all part of what she has learned.

Royal offspring learn the skills to use various weapons. As Aslan's only son, Vina was also given high expectations from a young age.

Although that history has now turned to ashes, she remains an absolute queen.

While his sword and shield skills weren't as good as those of top-tier sword and shield knights, they were in no way inferior to those commercial knights who made a show of themselves in Kazimierz.

Although Vina was curious why it was a sword and shield, Aslan's royal swordsmanship was more like using the longsword as a blunt weapon for striking.

This also made her more accustomed to using blunt weapons like hammers, which became her blunt weapon combat skill after joining the Glasgow Gang and establishing her authority.

It wasn't until she actually sat in the enormous steam armor that she understood why her teacher had taught her this way when she was young.

Because Aslan's royal swordsmanship should not have been just swordsmanship in the first place.

It was designed so that all kings would one day ride in steam-powered armor.

The shield knocked the dragon's head askew, and the Abyss Death Ray vanished from its mouth in an instant.

A sudden wave of dizziness overwhelmed Longtou's entire brain.

After that, it could only see things emitting a faint light in the darkness growing larger and larger in front of it through the corner of its eye.

It was an oddly shaped axe.

And this axe, empowered by the energy of countless Originium solutions, emitted a golden glow.

The shield bash with his left hand had just ended when the steam-armored warrior raised his giant axe with his right arm, dragging the massive axe behind him and sweeping it around the entire right half of his body!

The golden blade left a faint afterglow in the air. But before everyone's eyes, it left a yellow trail.

The massive 180-degree arc, like a crescent moon in the sky, then crashed into the enormous dragon head.

boom!

"Roar!!"

An unexpected pain appeared in my neck.

The dragon felt as if something had broken off from its body, and the sharp pain in its neck was a reminder that it had truly suffered a fatal blow.

Even with such a crude giant axe, the immense force allowed it to tear through the hard scales and penetrate deep into the dragon's body.

The curved blade was deeply embedded in the dragon's body, and the scales on the outside even left countless marks of varying depths on the axe's surface.

Vina pressed down hard on the control lever, determined to pin the struggling dragon firmly under her giant axe.

With just one effective attack, Vina seized the opportunity and forcefully smashed the giant axe in its steam armor into the dragon's body.

In her line of sight, the tank representing the amount of Originium solution was almost empty, and she could also feel the power of the steam armor weakening.

She absolutely could not let such an opportunity slip by.

Before everyone's eyes, the giant armor representing the people of Victoria retracted the shield in its left hand, using the groove of the shield to connect with the locking slot on its back, and hung it on its back.

Then, two giant mechanical hands gripped the handle of the axe.

click!

With a forceful pry, the giant axe was pulled from the body of the behemoth by the steam armor.

Then, it straightened its body.

The dragon was still struggling on the ground, its body and pierced wings pounding the ground, smashing and shattering the surrounding buildings.

Meanwhile, the steam-armored warrior held his giant axe aloft.

The radiator on its back once again lifted the outer shell. From the gap between the shield and the radiator, a huge amount of steam billowed out and spread out along the outer edge of the shield.

The coolant, along with the turning of the gears, once again reached the vicinity of the radiator.

bark...

Steam billowed out from the glowing red radiator ports, and the scorching machinery once again expelled the high temperature.

This cooling-off period is to fully prepare for the next move.

The remaining Originium solution gathered at the engine as the gears whirred rapidly.

The evaporated Originium solution transports energy to the limbs of the steam armor.

The Originium circuit connected to the hand then channeled the excess energy along the energy circuit of the giant axe handle into the giant axe in the hand.

At this moment, holding the great axe high, the steam armor seemed to support his beliefs.

The color on the axe blade became increasingly dazzling, changing from the original yellow to a deep and glaring red as the pressure and heat increased.

Then, it slowly lowered its head and looked at the giant dragon struggling in front of it.

The outer casing of the radiator closes in just one second.

Countless gears whirred rapidly, and the enormous body, along with the giant axe, plummeted down, cleaving towards the dragon before it!

The deep red color melted the dragon's scales the moment it touched them. The immense heat from the Originium solution combined with the power of the artificial god, severing the true god in two!

boom!

Dust and hot winds, along with shockwaves, swept outwards.

Everyone had to duck to avoid the impact, which felt like a meteor falling from the sky.

The loud noise echoed in everyone's ears, and even their brains felt as if they had been hit by something, leaving them dizzy.

The entire downtown area fell silent.

Half a minute later, someone mustered up the courage to raise their head, suppressing their pounding heart.

As the smoke dissipated, all that could be seen was high-temperature steam emanating from the massive armor, but the armor itself remained completely still.

"Out of power?"

Someone blurted out something out of the blue.

"They must have run out of energy."

It was the chief engineers who realized what was happening.

"The intensity of this battle is considerable. This armor will be lucky to last five minutes. We originally thought it could last for half an hour, but it seems we were too idealistic."

Even though that's what they said, they still kept their eyes on that side.

We need to wait until the smoke clears to see how the battle is going.

Even as the surrounding steam gradually dissipated, no one dared to approach the area.

Finally, a pair of eyes that suddenly widened came into everyone's view.

The ferocious dragon still had its eyes wide open.

It was severed at the neck by a giant axe that had sunk into the ground.

The mechanical creations made by humankind truly killed a god born from the abyss.

"You won?"

A soldier stared blankly at the broken dragon head and muttered something in a daze.

This finally ignited the dull atmosphere.

We won!

"We won!"
