The Mythical Path of a Princess from a Destroyed Kingdom

Chapter 666 Dimensionality Reduction Strike

Startled, the people pushing the turntable stopped in their tracks. The current quickly diminished, and Maginus flicked his hand away, clearly dissatisfied with the generator's efficiency.

The power is really too weak. All the magic she has accumulated over the years is not enough to even reach level 2. She still has to use a diesel generator or something. Fortunately, she read some miscellaneous books in the low-magic area she went to when she did some missions for Benia before, so she can make something similar.

"Your power generation efficiency is not enough. Find me these things and I'll make you a more powerful generator. Do you have paper and pen?"

Maginus clapped her hands and asked. Upon hearing about a more powerful generator, Merlin disregarded her identity and immediately replied, "Yes, we can get anything you need. If we can't get it, we'll do our best to get it."

“Very good,” Maginus nodded in satisfaction, seeing that Merlin was so sensible. “Find me a quiet room. Only come to me when enemies attack your settlement and you have no way to fight back. Don’t disturb me otherwise. I don’t need to eat or drink.”

No need to eat or drink!

The group swallowed hard, especially the few members of the Electric Faction who had accompanied Maginus earlier, remembering her previous self-designation.

The goddess of death, could she really be a deity?

Merlin respectfully led Maginus to her room in the cave. The room was odorless and fragrant, decorated with fresh flowers. She was quite satisfied with the room and nodded, saying:

"Okay, here it is. Where are the paper and pen?"

"Sir, I'm here."

The girl came to the desk, and Maginus pulled out a wooden chair and sat down. She picked up a pen and flicked it lightly, writing down all sorts of materials on the white paper. Afraid that they wouldn't understand what the things were, she even drew their shapes and appearances. Then she drew all sorts of drawings and marked their dimensions.

A thick stack of blueprints was handed to the leader of the Electric Faction. Maginus closed the door and reminded him again, "I'll say it again, don't come looking for me unless it's important. I won't die."

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will obey your command."

Carrying the heavy documents, Merlin left her room. As she heard the door behind her close and lock, she immediately told everyone to take the blueprints over. The craftsmen and researchers among them turned into ravenous wolves when they saw the blueprints.

"Meilin, who exactly is she?"

Some bewildered people pulled Merlin aside, and the girl then explained what had happened. When she learned that Maginus claimed to be the goddess of death and came from outside the universe, she felt both excited and nervous.

“In any case, she is absolutely capable of creating a more powerful motor and providing more power,” Merlin declared. “We will fully cooperate with this lady’s actions and give her whatever she wants, no problem.”

"If we could really get a powerful motor," some people were already fantasizing about the future, "then we could completely counterattack the steampunk faction!"

When Maginus and the Electric Faction returned to their stronghold, the Steam Knights, whom she had beaten up, had also returned to the kingdom. The disheveled and bewildered group met with the bishop and explained what had happened to their superior.

"What did you say? An unarmed person kicked you all to the ground and then rescued the witch and wizard who used this evil energy of electricity!?"

The bishop countered, and upon seeing the knight commander's serious expression, his first thought was that the Electric Faction might have developed some new weapon. He immediately sensed trouble and waved for the priest to summon an intelligence officer, instructing him to contact the spies following the Electric Faction and find out the whole situation.

About three days later, the scarce information about Maginus was put on the table: consuming electricity, casually drawing high-precision blueprints, claiming to be a goddess, and descending from the sky, leaving the bishop stunned.

Coming to his senses, he raised his hand to press his temples, a fear of the unknown rising in his heart. What if she really was a god? Judging from her helping the Electric Faction, could it be that electricity is really more powerful than steam?

We can't let him be bothered by himself.

The bishop of the area, realizing this, ordered a knight to deliver all the letters so that he could discuss with other bishops, the pope, and state officials how to deal with the red-haired woman.

Their region's single knightly force was no match for this middle-aged "monster" who claimed to be a god.

After nearly ten days, Meilin, who was taking stock of the materials, suddenly closed the last set of drawings, excitedly went to her room, and looked at the door with some worry.

After Maginus went in, she never came out again. She didn't eat or drink a single drop of food or water. Merlin was worried that she might have gone in to find a corpse.

She knocked loudly on the door and shouted, "Sir, we have prepared the materials you requested!"

Maginus, whose divinity was being worn down, opened her eyes, opened the door, and her sharp gaze met Merlin's. Merlin immediately lowered her head, covered her stinging eyes, and dared not utter a sound.

"The materials and parts are there, oh, I see."

The piled-up materials were currently stored where the generator had been placed. Maginus stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the parts on the ground. He picked up the parts with both hands and began to assemble them. His arms moved in a blur, leaving the people around him stunned.

In just three minutes, a brand-new power generation device appeared in front of everyone. They couldn't see how Maginus assembled it at all. There were also many parts piled up like a small mountain next to it, obviously more than she needed when making the parts.

"You can use it freely after I leave. My suggestion is to disassemble it and learn how to assemble it yourself, and understand the principle of this generator. By the way, have you brought all the resources I asked for?"

"I'm sorry, sir, we did not find the oil or diesel you mentioned."

Merlin shook her head, indicating that she did not have such resources. She then took out a glowing stone that emitted strong radiation and glowing grease from behind her back: "In fact, the materials that the Steampunk currently uses to generate steam are fuel stone and liquefied fuel stone."

Taking the stone and grease from Merlin, Maginus was certain that "burning stone" was a special energy source for this world. The radiation it emitted was extremely pathogenic to most creatures in the low-magic worlds he had visited before, and could easily cause mutations.

The radiation is too strong, but it's nothing to the three-eyed humans and other creatures living on this planet, as their bodies have adapted.

It should work, since it's essentially the same thing: burning fuel to generate electricity.

With her hand covering her head, Maginus, whose attributes had been greatly reduced, didn't want to think too much. Just in case, she took the generator out of the cave to avoid accidentally blowing up the cave.

Chapter 667 Accelerating Magic Acquisition

She poured a small amount of liquefied fuel into the generator, and under everyone's gaze, she pressed two fingers against the connector to start the generator.

A loud roar erupted, accompanied by a surge of electrical energy. Maginos's eyes widened, and a slight smile finally appeared on her lips. Not bad, liquefied fuel can indeed replace oil. The problem is that although the power is already quite high, it is still not enough.

After pulling his hand out of the cave, Maginus looked at the large pile of parts and turned to the others, saying, "Watch carefully and remember the assembly process. I won't wait for you."

"Yes!"

Seeing that this powerful being, capable of absorbing electric current, was willing to let them observe, Merlin and the others immediately focused their attention on her hands, while Maginus pointed to the air:

"Don't look at my hands, look at the open space in front of you."

As she gave the warning, she unleashed her magic, and two transparent hands appeared in the open space. Although they were somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help but take a few steps back upon seeing such a wondrous sight, feeling fearful of Maginus's "power."

They were branded as witches and wizards by the Steam Church, but the one in front of us is the real witch and wizard!

"Don't worry, if the power industry continues to develop, it will be able to do something similar to what I'm doing. Just wait and see."

Maginos casually offered a word of encouragement, referring to something like a robotic arm.

Ignoring whether anyone was listening, she proceeded to assemble the next generator. When she finished, she turned around and asked, "Did everyone remember the assembly process?"

"I remember."

Merlin raised her hand, and Maginus stepped aside to let her try it, while he walked toward the first generator: "Once you've assembled it, take it outside and see if it can be powered. If it can, connect it to me."

Holding the wire and wrapping it around the socket, Maginus sat on the ground, slowly charging up the power to create the interdimensional portal. If there was only one generator, she would have to wait a year.

If there are ten generators, the time required can be reduced tenfold, and she can leave in a little over a month. She needs to get these people to provide her with more generators, the more the better.

After a whole day, the parts were finally transformed into five generators. Maginus gripped the iron wires with both hands, allowing the current to flow continuously into his body, and instructed them to continue making parts and generators:

“I need more motors. In return, I can impart some special knowledge to you. I don’t need you to believe in me. Consider this a deal.”

"clear."

Merlin immediately agreed and instructed everyone to continue making parts, wanting to provide Maginus with more assistance and gain more knowledge about electricity.

As they turned to enter the cave, a familiar tremor from the ground made their eyes widen, their faces filled with anger. Merlin ran to Maginus's side, and knowing the power of the electric current, she stood a little distance away and pleaded:

"Your Excellency, please protect us."

“Don’t worry,” Maginos, adjusting her divinity, opened her eyes impatiently, “this is part of the deal.”

A large number of steam-powered armored vehicles appeared in the surrounding area, crossing the forest. Upon spotting Maginus in the clearing and the flickering electricity around her, their expressions were filled with surprise and uncertainty. The captain, his face cold, shouted:

"Witches and wizards who wield evil energy, you have actually summoned a powerful, eyeless demon! You deserve to die! As the masters of steam, we must kill you here before you harm the people!"

Merlin turned pale when she saw the insignia on the armor, and some people even knelt on the ground, their faces ashen, muttering "It's over, it's over," as if they had been completely terrified.

Eyeless demons? This team is strong?

Maginus touched her forehead, then turned to stare at the person inside the armor:

"You know what? When you said that, you already knew deep down that I wasn't a demon. Otherwise, if you really thought I was a powerful demon, you would have run away long ago."

"Have you ever thought about this: what if I really am a monster far stronger than you?"

"Sweet talk, that's because you can only withstand weak electrical energy with your bare body," the captain scoffed. "You're absolutely helpless against our powerful steam armor!"

"Really? That's amazing."

Detecting good and evil.

With a light snap of her fingers, Maginus, too lazy to argue with these people, released a spell to confirm the allegiance of the newcomers. A bright red light shone, signifying that all members of the group were utterly evil.

Staring at the armor, she finally stood up and grinned, her ferocious smile carrying an aura of malice that pressed down on everyone. She released the iron wires in her hand, letting them fall to the ground, and the generator automatically shut down in the eyes of onlookers.

"Kill this demon!"

The paladin captain roared, and the massive armored vehicle charged towards her. To the metal box in front of her, Maginus swung her arm and disappeared from her spot. With her legs planted on the waist of the armor, she raised her right fist and slammed it towards the driver's seat.

The thick sheet metal was torn apart like paper. The captain, who was in shock, was grabbed by the arm and pulled outward with force. The captain's face hit the concave and cracked metal, and his entire face was torn off.

The skull pushed the metal outwards, and the shoulder couldn't get out at all. The tearing pain only lasted for a moment, and the next second the person lost consciousness.

From an outsider's perspective, a head and spine were forcibly pulled out by Maginos, flying through the air and spinning continuously before finally landing.

The armor fell backward, and Maginus licked the blood from her fingers. Her life force turned into blood mist and was drawn out and merged into her body. Everything around her fell silent. The fact that the paladin captain was killed instantly was beyond everyone's common sense.

At this moment, standing atop the armor that symbolized holiness, her figure truly resembled a legendary demon in Merlin's eyes.

"team leader!!"

The other armored vehicles shouted to mask their fear, and driven by their emotions, they charged toward Maginus, raising their air rifles to fire at her.

The bullets bounced off her body, she dusted off her changed clothes, and disappeared again, turning into a bloody shadow to smash the people inside the armor one by one.

To prevent the generator from being damaged, Maginus eliminated all the enemies in one minute, absorbing their bodies. She then picked up the wire, restarted the generator, and turned to look at the terrified Merlin:

"Remember the motor I need."

"...Yes, deceased lady."

Suppressing her urge to retreat, Merlin took a deep breath, slapped her cheeks hard, and agreed. She then pulled the others back into the cave, their initial fear replaced by excitement.

"Great."

Some were the first to recover, their eyes gleaming with ambition: "With this divine being here, we no longer need to hide and fear the church's pursuit. A counterattack is just around the corner!"

"Leaving aside her personality, that person is ready to leave once he has finished charging."

A person nearby reminded him, and the equally ambitious researcher said with a fervent look on his face: "Isn't that perfect? ​​To gain the lady's knowledge without being controlled by her, that's the most perfect result."

Chapter 668 Why is it always you?

Over the next few days, the Electric Faction created nearly thirty generators for Maginus. After more than ten days of absorption, Maginus finally managed to gather enough magic to cast the Gate to Another World.

It wasn't that she didn't want to convert her life force into magic, but rather that it involved multiple factors such as the total amount of external magic and the internal struggle of divinity, making it impossible and undesirable for her to convert too much life force.

Once the magic was fully charged, Maginus opened her eyes, raised her hand, and touched Merlin's forehead, transmitting some of her electrical knowledge and the composition of certain electrical devices to the leader of the electrical faction.

“I’ve taught you everything I needed to,” Maginus said, glancing at the group after she finished speaking. “I advise you to quickly find a new base, thoroughly investigate any traitors or spies within the group, and then goodbye.”

Turning to look at the open space, she raised her hand and cast a portal to another world. The magic power she had been accumulating for a long time burst forth from her body, gradually forming an energy gate in front of her, spreading spatial fluctuations outward.

Normally, Maginus could return by using a portal to another dimension, but unfortunately, due to the influence of divinity and the curse, she cannot connect with her own prime material plane or even the demiplane she created; the portal to another dimension is a random transfer.

The reason she opened the door now was simply to leave this energy-poor, magic-free zone as soon as possible. The energy was too scarce, and if she stayed any longer, her power would only decrease. This was probably why the Dimensional Spider brought her here.

She pushed open the door, ignoring the shouts from those behind her, and Maginus vanished from everyone's sight in an instant, as if she had never been there. Only the generator left on the ground and the knowledge injected into Merlin's brain proved her existence.

After the beautiful Lady Maginot disappeared from sight, Merlin took a deep breath and turned to her team members: "We'll talk about other things later. Let's install the generator and go."

That person had warned the team that there was a spy leaking information, and that they had to find this person before moving to the next safe base.

"Meilin, what kind of knowledge did that esteemed person impart to you?"

After packing up all the important items, the group drove to another safe house. Merlin, who was in the car, didn't hesitate to use the knowledge that Maginus had given her. She picked up a pen and paper and scribbled on the bumpy road, drawing an electrified weapon without adding any details.

She circulated the document to everyone, who gasped in surprise. Merlin merely pursed her lips, and after taking it back, she looked at the crowd:

"As you all know, there is a spy in our team."

The once lively convoy fell silent. Everyone looked at Merlin, who continued:

"This is the first time our whereabouts have been exposed to the Steam Church. I've decided to forgive the spy this time, but if there's a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

It wasn't that Merlin didn't want to execute the traitor; it was simply that she couldn't find him. Since she didn't have time to search extensively for the spy, she decided to postpone the matter and use threats to deter the hidden traitor from continuing to provide information to the outside world.

"Is everyone okay with this?"

"No comment."

They all knew that now was not the time for internal strife. Once they reached the safe outpost, they should start mass-producing troops using Merlin's knowledge, developing everything from soldiers to weapons to generators.

After dealing with the first otherworldly matter, Maginus felt a dizzying sensation as she stepped through the portal. The portal began randomly connecting to other prime material planes, and a strong energy fluctuation flashed by before a shimmering exit appeared in front of her.

Prepare herself mentally before stepping inside. When she opened her eyes again, a somewhat gloomy sky appeared before Maginus. Raindrops fell on her face. The air around her was no longer like it had been in the previous plane, trying to drain her powerful life force. Free magic flowed into her body with each breath.

"Good, finally there's magic, though it's a bit weak... Is this planet experiencing a magic tide?"

Maginos relaxed as she absorbed the magic in the air, but suddenly sensed something was wrong and instinctively raised her eyebrows.
