Chapter 942 - 399: Divinity Is Really Handy
Olivia’s gaze was somber, and she did not answer Wu Chang’s question.
The Differential Machine predicted that Sean would come to stop her plan, but it did not foresee that Sean’s deputy commander could unveil such a peculiar steam engine.
Wu Chang’s previous question echoed in her ears; could it be that the Differential Machine is not omniscient?
But at this point, she had no path retreating.
Though purely from mechanical design and craftsmanship, the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast beneath her lagged far behind the Peacekeeper, the Mechanical Beast’s power didn’t lie in its mechanical performance, but rather in the Extraordinary Steam Engine Core embedded within it.
The lion-shaped Mechanical Beast, fused with dozens of Extraordinary Steam Engine Cores, equates to possessing dozens of Extraordinary Powers and is aided by the Differential Machine to formulate combat strategies, it might not necessarily lose.
Through the steam rules connected by the Differential Machine, Olivia tasked it with seeking the weaknesses of the Peacekeeper and the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast’s methods of defeating the Peacekeeper.
The mist representing steam rules enveloped the Peacekeeper, and after a moment, Olivia received the answer from the Differential Machine.
No weaknesses and self-detonation.
In the view of the Differential Machine, the Peacekeeper appearing in the Steam Phantom Plane had no weaknesses; every function was perfected.
With the values of the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast, there’s only one possibility to defeat the Peacekeeper: convert all energy into steam explosive and then self-detonate with the Peacekeeper, betting on the Peacekeeper’s armor failing to withstand the enormous damage from the explosion.
Receiving the Differential Machine’s answer, Olivia fell into silence; is it that the Differential Machine is really unreliable?
Not to mention whether the conclusion of no weakness is correct, but regarding the method of defeating the Peacekeeper, she aimed to overcome the Peacekeeper, not recklessly destroy it.
According to the Differential Machine’s computation, the power of the steam explosive it sought to convert is sufficient to blow up the entire Grimland to the heavens.
Even if she could take down the Peacekeeper, she wouldn’t expect to survive herself.
Olivia disconnected from the Differential Machine expressionlessly, preparing to test for herself without external interference whether the Peacekeeper truly had no weaknesses.
She activated the Heart of the Land within the Mechanical Beast, and the beast instantly changed its posture, its surface gleaming with metallic luster as it charged directly toward the Peacekeeper.
As a symbol of the army’s Extraordinary Steam Engine, originally bearing the Heart of the Land was a massive battle tank, the Heart of the Land could provide immense power and an unbreakable Energy Barrier.
With these two aspects, the Fran Army, led by the land flagship, was seemingly invincible in battle.
But the power brought by the Heart of the Land was insignificant in the face of the Peacekeeper; the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast launched a full-force charge, seeming like a playful dive from a small dog before the Peacekeeper.
The Peacekeeper merely stretched out a hand, grabbing the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast by the throat and halting its charge steadily.
The ability to easily control the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast was inseparable from the Peacekeeper’s skill enhancement.
"Item Skills: Specialized Armor"
"Skill Description: When activating Mecha, Specialized Armor shields the driver from most control effects. The mech inherits the driver’s various body attributes and adds 100 points of non-decreasing boost attributes on the original basis."
With the Specialized Armor enhancement, the Peacekeeper’s current body attributes are:
Life: 345 (245)
Power: 481 (381)
Agility: 205 (105)
Endurance: 207 (107)
Energy: 409 (309)
(Values within parentheses are attributes before Specialized Armor enhancement)
After Specialized Armor enhancement, while driving the Peacekeeper, Wu Chang’s lowest attribute exceeded 200 points, even in agility, his least proficient, solely referencing value, surpassed most Desolate Realm players renowned for agility.
The lion-shaped Mechanical Beast’s speed was already slow, and with Olivia’s lack of corresponding driving skills, merely manipulating the Mechanical Beast through steam rules, its speed seemed slow-motion before Wu Chang.
If even agility couldn’t surpass him, it meant Olivia had no chance of victory whatsoever.
In the Desolate Realm, as long as he wore the Peacekeeper, there was nothing he couldn’t catch up to, nothing he couldn’t overpower.
With the Specialized Armor enhancement, the Peacekeeper’s Strength Attribute reached 481 points, before he obtained the Violator Title, this value was nearing the accepted limit of the Desolate Realm.
Before a Strength Attribute of 481 points, not just the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast, even if Stilan’s navy flagship charged, the Peacekeeper could withstand it.
Wu Chang single-handedly gripped the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast’s throat, regardless of its struggles, unable to make his hand loosen a fraction.
He initiated the power propellers under Peacekeeper’s feet, propelling the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast out of the Crystal Palace onto the open square outside, then slammed it to the ground with force.
The tremendous impact nearly tossed Olivia off of it directly.
Olivia relied on steam rules to stabilize her body, looked at the Peacekeeper with wary eyes, and through the previous encounter, fully realized the performance disparity between their machines.
No wonder the Differential Machine assessed the Peacekeeper as having no weakness, in the face of the Peacekeeper, he felt no resistance whatsoever.
Close combat, seeking to crush by size discrepancy, was not viable; to win, she could only rely on firepower.
Seeing that Wu Chang did not pursue his victory, she maneuvered the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast to leap back, then pointed solitarily towards the sky.
Only to see the giant skyship bearing everyone previously, the Queen Olivia, appeared in the sky above the battlefield; under Olivia’s command, the Sky Heart loaded within the skyship dropped down, guided by steam rules, to the back of the lion-shaped Mechanical Beast.
