Star Forge Titan

When the vehicle moved to an area, Christina suddenly coughed lightly.

She drew everyone's attention to herself and then put on an extremely serious expression.

"Before coming here, everyone should have seen the warning in the contract about the significant risks involved in this plan. What you are about to see is the most dangerous of them all."

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't understand what the director wanted to express.

But then, they saw a scene that made everyone subconsciously hold their breath.

Passing through the security wall and outer buildings, what caught everyone's eye was a strange landform covering an astonishing area.

A large number of blue-green crystals that lean upward like stalagmites occupy a large area of ​​the ground like tall, winding trees.

From a distance, it looks like a huge crystalline forest grown from living crystals!

The outer buildings are the courtyard walls that surround this special woodland.

"This is the Crystallization Courtyard. A major experimental accident has resulted in serious consequences, and the top-secret project you've all joined is closely tied to it. In a sense, if the plan goes awry again, it could lead to a second such horrific scene."

Christina's voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy drum hitting everyone's heart.

The only one who could remain calm here was probably Alvin, because he knew what kind of existence was capable of causing this scene.

Scenes from his memory emerged, and the serious expression on the black-haired boy's face was intertwined with nostalgia and emotion.

Even he couldn't help but silently recite a word in his heart that he hadn't mentioned for a long time -

Assimilation reaction!

Chapter 102: The Original Three Machines

Assimilation reaction, according to Christina's explanation to everyone, is the result of some mysterious power being over-released, causing the power to go out of control.

The most intuitive and common change resulting from this is the rapid crystallization of all matter within a certain range around the Giant God.

By then, even the body itself will be covered with solid crystals, and the assimilation reaction will not stop unless the internal reactions naturally subside over time.

In the previous game, the technicians of the Lind Empire did not explain much about this phenomenon that would cause large-scale changes to the surrounding environment. They just claimed that this was the result of the self-protection instinct of the activated structure inside the body getting out of control.

Ivan originally didn't care about this, but in this life, he mastered the abilities of the Titan bloodline and obtained the knowledge and information passed down across time by the Eye of Prophecy, Ishtarli, the first queen of the Giant Kingdom and the last descendant of the Titan Emperor...

He just treated the other party's statement as bullshit.

What out-of-control self-preservation instinct? Alvin has now seen it clearly. It is clearly the power to reshape the world that has lost control after being left without control!

Theoretically, the soul consciousness of the Titans can directly mobilize all the magic in the world, and the matter in the world of Palladia itself contains magic. In a sense, this can also be understood as another way of saying mass-energy conversion.

However, if one does not have a strong enough will to control the power called "Reshaping the World", the consequence is that the matter affected by this power will lose its stability and become disordered and chaotic, until it mixes with the magic power of the environment and assimilates into an abnormal object that looks like a crystal.

For example, if matter is considered the number 1 and magic the number 0, then using magic to interfere with matter is like adding, while the uncontrolled power to reshape the world will cause a change of 0x1. At that time, no matter how large the number representing the matter is, the result will become 0.

The actual situation is of course countless times more complicated, but there is no problem in calling it an 'assimilation reaction'.

Those crystals are not pure matter, but special crystals formed by the fusion of the most basic magic unit - Mana and matter.

Wait, so the artificial crystals used in Linde's magical engineering originated from here?

Ivan narrowed his eyes and began to think further about what this news meant.

In this way, the Giant God Soldier may be more important to Lind.

Moreover, since such a large-scale assimilation reaction has occurred, it means that Lind's research on the Giant God Soldier may have reached a very in-depth level. At least they have confirmed the existence of the "God's Flesh and Blood".

The so-called 'flesh and blood of God' certainly does not refer to the blood and flesh cut from the body of God.

Rather, it refers to the source of the Giant God's power, a kind of existence known as "true blood" that flows within the body frame called "God's Skeleton".

As a player in his previous life, he naturally wouldn't delve too deeply into these settings, but Alvin now suspects that at least part of the Giant God Soldier is definitely a divine creation created by the Titan God countless years ago!

In this case, what Lind lacks most at the moment is probably a driver who can truly control a large weapon like the Colossus, and an excellent knight who can tame this wild horse!

Well, isn't this talking about me?

The corners of Ivan's mouth twitched, and he suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.

Under the guidance of Director Christina, he and others crossed the crystal courtyard and entered the tallest semi-underground structure.

There were a large number of researchers here, and they all saluted the director who looked only twelve years old. The director's attainments in magic and magical engineering had impressed everyone so much that they had no prejudice against him because of his appearance.

After passing through layers of passages and arriving at an exceptionally tall door, Christina finally stopped and turned to look at the young students.

"Next, you will see Lind's most valuable excavated treasure, which is also the final product of the top-secret plan."

Releasing her magic power to contact the magic lock, Christina, floating in mid-air, folded her folding fan with a whoosh and spoke with an extremely serious expression, each word clearly stated:

"Their name is - Giant God Soldiers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the huge door slowly opened to both sides, and then Alvin immediately heard bursts of exclamations coming from all around.

Three humanoid weapons that were much taller than the magic mechas stood quietly behind the gate. The shadows they cast instantly enveloped everyone, just like three mountains standing side by side. Even if they remained still, they emitted a strong impact that made people feel as if they had difficulty breathing.

"Giant God Soldier Unit 03, White Iron Soldier Bekas, had some accidents during the previous experiments, so it doesn't look very good right now."

Following Christina's brief introduction, the magic light on top of the hangar on the right lit up, like a spotlight falling from above, illuminating the machine whose name was called.

The machine on the far right is a giant god with white outer armor. As the director introduced, it looks very bad now and even needs external frame support to maintain a standing posture.

Obviously, this machine must have just experienced a very bad experimental accident, so that almost no piece of the outer armor is intact, and the human-like face looks even more hideous and terrifying, like a skeleton with its skin peeled off.

But even so, this Giant God Soldier still has an admirable cruel beauty and a strong presence that is no less than the other two machines.

It's just like the statue of Venus de Milo with broken arms.

No, maybe it should be said that it is Ares with a broken arm?

"Giant God Unit 2, the Queen of Flame - Langena, has a special weapon, the Pure White Crown."

Turning my attention to the second machine, it was a slender machine with red and white as the main colors.

Its shoulder armor is a large expanse of pure white, inlaid with a huge amber crystal of unknown function in the middle, and it rises high and diagonally upwards, like a pair of elegant and beautiful white wings.

The outer armor on both arms is red, with only the fingers showing a mixture of white and silver-gray colors, just like wearing a pair of white silk gloves with intricate silver embroidery decorating the back of the hands.

At the same time, on the outside of both arm armors, there are two kite shields connected to them by a complex mechanical structure. The slender inverted triangular shields are white on the inside and painted with a gorgeous red emblem on the outside.

The main color of the skirt armor and the torso is also red, which is not very long. It looks like she is wearing a dress as bright red as blood.

The leg armor is a two-section structure. The thigh covered by the curved armor is pure white, and the main color of the armor on the calf and knee is changed to red. Only the area below the ankle is decorated with white, and the edge of the sole is hinted at.

Despite being in three colors, the parts still appear very integrated, looking like they are wearing a pair of high-heeled boots with a bright red main color.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the towering crown on the top of the machine that looks like a Xinan hat.

The main body of the crown is composed of four slender metal spikes pointing in different directions. You can see the tangible magic power surging like flames in them. Where the bottom of the crown borders the head of the body, there is a circle of golden structure like a crown, which looks extremely gorgeous.

In addition, this machine is more slender than the other two, and the armor covering its limbs and torso has very straight lines. It looks like an ancient lady standing there quietly, and at the same time it is as elegant as a hymn from the classical period. Judging from its appearance alone, there is no sign of the threat of a weapon.

However, this appearance does not give any misunderstanding about its nature as the ultimate weapon.

The strong magical pressure emanating from the unique crown device on the top of the machine is enough to make anyone who approaches it fall to the ground. It is not surprising that mortals will even die from it.

Because, it was a terrifying pressure that most extraordinary people could not imagine. It made people feel like they were facing a magic furnace operating at full power, or a super-large wizard tower that had entered war mode!

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of this Giant God Soldier is definitely not inferior to the former one, and it may even possess some extremely terrifying spell-enhancing abilities, and the lightweight outer armor also means higher mobility.

Before the young students recovered from the impact of the Giant God Soldier Unit 2, Langna, they heard Christina next to them suddenly sigh.

"Personally, I don't recommend trying this next machine. As the first completed Colossus, its style is too violent. It really is..."

Christina shook her head, but still waved her folding fan to turn on the top light in the center of the hangar.

Brush, the light fell like a white silk thread.

Everyone subconsciously raised their hands to block the light in front of them because it was too dazzling.

At the same time, Ivan couldn't help but glance at Catherine who was standing next to Diana.

"Do you Carolingian royal family like gold so much?"

"Shut up, even I..." The girl's voice stopped abruptly, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Yes, the machine standing in the middle was made entirely of pure gold, and it was so bright under the light that it was blinding. Only the gaps in the armor revealed some of the black mechanical structure.

Although the gold color is so abrupt, the outer armor that looks like ancient armor and is full of artistic atmosphere, and the entire body frame that perfectly conforms to the golden ratio, fully control this exaggerated color.

It is like a noble knight king wearing a pure gold crown and gorgeous Maximilian-style armor, or a moving golden palace standing like a mountain, giving people a luxurious and solemn feeling.

"The original Giant God Soldier, Knight of Gold - Disgulan." Christina's voice was filled with a hint of sigh.

In fact, without saying much, everyone can feel the heaviness of this machine that the other two machines do not have, as if it has combined the power and advantages of Unit 03 and Unit 02 at the same time.

This Unit-01 is equipped with super-heavy armor similar to Unit-03, and it also exudes magical pressure that is no less than that of Unit-02. It is simply a complete monster!

"This is really..." Looking at Disgulan intently, Alvin couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Director, did you open the wrong door?

The Colossus I remember isn't like this!!! How am I supposed to carry this bucket?!

Chapter 103 Differences

Memory is being reviewed, information has been found, comparison started, error!

To briefly describe Alvin's thought process in the past tenth of a second, this is roughly the process.

Elrond's arcane transformation had greatly enhanced his thinking abilities, so the entire process took only about a tenth of a second.

But no matter how fast your brain works, you can't change the reality before you.

Unlike the simple industrial style appearance of the Magic Robot, each Giant Robot looks like a carefully crafted work of art.

For example, the golden knight in front of you - Disgulan, it has a full set of pure gold heavy armor. The armor shape is based on the nearby Unit 3 Bekas, with a more gorgeous and heavy design. Combined with the mountain-like body of the Giant God Soldier, it is simply a heavy mobile city made of gold.

There is a dazzling golden crown on the top of the machine. Looking down from above, you will find that the shape of this crown is similar to the sun described in works of art. Golden branches symbolizing the light and fire around the sun extend obliquely in all directions. From time to time, there are flowing lights passing through the edges, and it always exudes magical pressure that is no less than that of the Flame Queen of the Giant God Soldier No. 2 next to it.

Overall, these three Giant God Soldiers look like a perfect fusion of art and weapons.

But when Ivan recalled the Colossus he piloted in his previous life's game, and then looked at the three prototype Colossus soldiers before him, each emitting a strong sense of presence, he felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.

He could not compare the three Giant Gods with different shapes in front of him with the square, tall and big fourth-generation Ultramarines in his memory.

From a cost-benefit perspective, it's hard to understand why Linde's researchers would create such a shape. After all, turning a weapon into a work of art often means that productivity at the time had developed to the point where they had the leisure to do such things.

But if a huge weapon like the Colossus were to be made into a work of art, it would inevitably represent a huge consumption of resources.

Even the special machine driven by Diana in her previous life did not seem to be as exaggerated as the three prototype Giant Gods in front of her, either in appearance or performance.

Compared to the basic model used by players like himself, the special model mainly optimizes the armor and engine power and adds equipment that best suits the individual's combat style. However, as long as enough merits are accumulated, the basic Colossus can also achieve the same performance through upgrades. Customized equipment is standard for every Colossus driver.

After all, although the Giant God Soldier is not a unique existence, it is not an assembly line product that can be mass-produced like the Magic Mecha.

Oh, well, Lind hasn't mentioned the assembly line technology yet anyway.

This is not important, let’s get the topic back to the Giant God Soldier.

Compared to the fourth-generation Colossus that Alvin is more familiar with, the three Colossus in front of him are different in terms of the intensity of their magical pressure and the more intuitive height. For example, it is probably the difference between the High Mobility O Gu and the Unicorn O Da.

Although the two sides may not be much different in size, the former can also move back and forth among an astonishing number of warships, and each shot is a large battleship-sized firecracker. The version painted red may be even more exaggerated, but the latter has an amazing record of destroying legions with a wave of his hand and blocking satellite lasers with a shout.

That's a huge difference.

Ivan's expression became more and more serious. Running away with a bucket was certainly a joke, but his goal was the ultimate sense of security. In Fat Tiger's words, it was to nip in the bud all dangers that might destroy his peaceful life.

Besides, in this new life, I have decided to carry out the ideal of "doing the right thing" to the end.

The so-called right thing to do is definitely not to snatch someone else's Jiaoda model and run away.

At least you should help others get rid of cockroaches in their homes!

Even though the skeleton craze has disappeared, Lind is still a big powder keg.

The experience of living in the lower city before winning the Youth Magic Car Conference made Alvin understand the various problems existing in Linde, the Central Empire. In this world where evil gods and fallen people exist, such darkness will inevitably bring disaster.

Although he was relatively confident in Catherine and felt that this reliable Duchess would gradually change Linde's current situation in the future, some things could not be solved by faith alone, and such things in the future would at least require going through the present to reach them.

In addition, Yu Si himself has not yet obtained the flawless gem - the Sea of ​​Miracles. This is related to the second stage ceremony of the foundation of the Great Mystery Original Realm. Alvin does not intend to stop there, so he must complete this task.

But then again, he almost sacrificed his entire being for the last gem, and he didn't know what price he would have to pay for this one. Even if he had to be an emotionless task tool, he at least hoped that the task wouldn't be too troublesome.

By the time the thinking was over, the other students had basically completed their visit to the Giant God Soldier.

Well, although the process is quite complicated and the impact is very strong, what they are actually doing today is just a visit to the results of the top-secret weapons project.

What comes next is what really matters.
