Chapter 925 - 393: Seed of Famine (2)
Wu Chang shook his head, thinking to himself that the Holy Land was too stingy. Wasn’t it just that he failed to control his power and almost split the island? Was there really a need to hurry guests away?
He and Xavier’s body reappeared, hovering above Bai She Avenue.
From the perspective of those on the ground, Wu Chang was thrown by Randy, using some unknown method to dodge the dense Light Arrows, then approached Xavier and tossed the Knight’s Gloves.
In the next moment, the Lake Light Holy Sword erupted in brilliance, absorbing the two into it.
The two vanished for nearly a minute. When the Lake Light reappeared, Wu Chang holding the Lake Light Holy Sword, alongside Xavier, whose body was sliced in two, returned to the sight of everyone.
From the outcome, it was Sir Sean who won.
Though people were already impressed when Wu Chang intercepted the Light Arrows, seeing him kill Xavier still shocked them.
Xavier had previously demonstrated overwhelming power that left a deep impression on everyone—a kind of despair and suffocation that they had never experienced with any Dungeon BOSS before.
Yet, this powerful Dungeon BOSS was slain by a native of the Dungeon World.
The players, usually accustomed to being the main characters of the Dungeon World, suddenly found themselves reduced to secondary roles in this world. Though it’s comfortable to win effortlessly, it was still hard to get used to.
Everyone was entirely immersed in Sean’s unstoppable manner, in which he killed the Dungeon BOSS in a desperate situation, without noticing that their employer, the leader of the Secret Magic Knight Order, Sir Sean, was about to fall to his death.
At this moment, Wu Chang was several hundred meters in the air, and though Xavier was already dead, the Steam Rules hadn’t dissipated yet.
His Spatial Ability was still restricted and couldn’t be performed.
With his current physical strength, landing hard from several hundred meters, he wouldn’t die, but would inevitably get injured.
Having just stylishly slain the big villain, only to lie on the ground calling for help less than ten seconds later, where would Sir Sean’s pride be?
In a hurry, he grabbed the two halves of Xavier’s split corpse, using the two metal wings on Xavier’s back as glider wings, he flew in the direction away from Bai She Avenue.
As he slowly landed along the glide, the fog vortex above Grimland had already calmed down, and the heavy dark clouds in the sky began to scatter.
Wu Chang could clearly feel the Steam Rules suppressing the players was quieting down along with the death of the God of Steam Engine.
Taking the opportunity to distance himself from the members of the Secret Magic Knight Order, he began to inspect Xavier’s body.
As the Ultimate Extraordinary Steam Engine, his body should also contain the so-called Extraordinary Steam Engine Core.
Since Xavier hadn’t fused to become a Jack of All Trades, nor fully transformed into mechanical Life, his self-modification wasn’t as thorough as that of an Executioner.
His body still retained a significant amount of flesh, but the core organs and important bones were replaced with special metals.
His body operated on three systems simultaneously supplying Energy, with a small furnace installed on the left side of his chest, filled with highly concentrated coal essence.
These coal essences released immense Steam Root Power, partially going directly into Xavier’s body, and partially pouring into the Extraordinary Power Furnace on his right chest.
The composition of the right chest’s Power Furnace was mainly Mysticism and Alchemy. Its design was extremely complex, even temporarily difficult for Wu Chang to fully decipher with the Eye of Breaking Method.
The right chest Power Furnace received Steam Root Power and stored Steam Explosive within, allowing these Steam Root Powers to heed Xavier’s control, changing into the effect he wished to achieve.
This allowed him not to resort to Mystical Ceremony, as Philip Baron’s grievances demanded, to release flames.
Now, when an idea appears in his mind, Energy can skip the preparation phase and directly form.
This ability is considered an advanced application of Wu Chang’s reincarnation Talent Skill "Mystical Mastery". He immediately took down Xavier’s mystical Power Furnace from the right chest, ready to study the Mystical Runes on it when he has time.
Should he thoroughly understand the Energy transformation system on it, his Mystical Mastery will elevate further, eliminating the need to first use Energy to form Mystical Runes, using Runes instead of Mystical Ceremony, before wielding Mystical Power.
Skipping the phase of gathering Mystical Runes would enable faster casting, making it difficult for others to discern Ability types, and further enhancing his Power of Mystical Root Source.
Elevating his Power of Root Source to the level of Cold Mountain and Divine Tongue.
The Steam Phantom Dungeon made him realize that, when employed well, the Power of Root Source could deliver effects in the Desolate Realm, possibly surpassing Divinity.
Xavier’s mystical Power Furnace in the right chest, although powerful, wasn’t the true core of his body.
Following the guidance of the All-Knowing Crystal, Wu Chang extracted a badge imprinted with the Steam Council’s emblem from Xavier’s brain.
Five steam pipelines extended from the Stilan Continent, absorbing nutrients from the Stilan Continent, emitting faint steam outward.
Watching the steam emitted from the badge, Wu Chang momentarily saw the miners at Pine Tree Coal Mine; the textile workers at Sloan Textile Factory; Thomas’s sister, ill and dying in a dark little house.
He even saw what seemed like never-ending worker protests on Grimland Street.
He shook his head, turning back to look at the prompt that popped up on the Steam Council badge.
