Golden Experience

"I didn't expect you to recover such a dirty heart in such a short time. That's all I'm saying ─ ─ No, that's my daughter."

Well, thank you.

Lyla, who returned to the lab, gave Acragio the heart of the demon that the Regenvolm and the others had hunted.

After that eavesdropping, the demons did not take action, and exploration was withdrawn there.

They say that they will attack the country of mankind from now on. It is called wilderness to disturb.

And if you're going to attack the Federation with all your troops, it should be easier to explore it than it is now, either during or after the war.

"─ ─ Hmm. There doesn't seem to be anything that stands out, but it's stable and of high quality. Looks like I've been hunting deep down. It's a good thing they didn't find us. They retreated."

"If that's all, can you activate the Suertodius?"

"Any core is possible as long as it starts up. It's just that they can't perform at full capacity. I don't know if I can find out more about each of these hearts... This quality is good. If we synthesize some, we might be able to make some pretty good stuff."

"Above all else. By the way ─ ─"

I looked up at the Suertodios that could be found in the lab.

It's a powerful form.

It certainly contains a great deal of power, but I don't think it will be comparable to God when it's done.

If the force at the start of the last test, which appeared to be semi-disaster grade, was 40%, it would simply be 2.5 times the force at full operation.

To that extent, you can't even kill an evil king instead of a god.

"What would you have done if the matching core had been completed? Are you going to attack the Devil's Forest with this Suertodius? Or is it the Wesen Empire?

"Why should I do that?"

Acragio smiled with his nose.

Why, if we are studying the national budget like hot water, it is natural to use the results for the country. In addition to HR, Lyla also felt a little frustrated as a gift from someone who runs the state.

Who the fuck made such a woman the director of a state-owned research institute? If Lyla was president, she'd be blamed and cut off.

"Suertodios, the most powerful and best figure I can think of, will be able to synthesize a dirty heart and gain any power. By that time, you will be able to mass-produce this Dios and fulfill my aspirations."

So, mass production?

Indeed, mass production is not impossible as long as construction know-how can be accumulated by this.

However, that's very good, but then you should do it with your own pocket money.

As for Lyla, I'm not involved in the management of this country, and it doesn't matter if I say it doesn't matter.

─ ─ Doctor's grief is the most powerful army of armored beasts?

I wonder if you want to use that army to kill God.

I was going to listen casually in the flow of the story, but Acragio stopped the hand that was searching for the heart.

"Hmm, it's none of your business. In the first place, the name without sense, such as the Armor Beast Rider, is a name given by future generations of soldiers, not me. To me, this is not an armor, but a blade. Well, that doesn't matter now."

Start moving your hands again as you speak and walk with some sorted hearts.

Behind that is a device like a three-dimensional scanner.

When I placed my heart on the pedestal of the device, I began to grasp something like a lever and flow MP.

"─ ─ The characteristics of life are tail and scale. Is it lizard type that there is no tortuosity? Perfect. Next ─ ─"

It appears to be an item to investigate the original owner's traits from the heart.

This is an essential item if Lyla takes into account the mass production of Armor Beast Riders. It seems to be easy to operate, and I would definitely like to have it when I tunnel around here.

After examining all the sorted hearts, Acragio put some of them into the cardiac synthesizer.

And we keep talking as we run the synthesizer.

"There's only one thing I want. That's enough power to kill God. Build that power with your hands and make the world repent of its arrogance. And I will create this world ─ ─"

Acragio stopped his words there.

Something seemed to be moving in my mouth, but I didn't say it out loud.

Again, Acragio's goal is to kill God.

But at the same time, Lyla felt her spine getting cold.

A world built.

It is not wrong in itself.

This world was created by the game management company.

Many events and character movements follow the natural flow of the in-game world, but in some cases operations may intervene to make a significant difference to the flow of times.

If Acrazio is aware of this and is trying to destroy its mechanism, it should be feared.

I've never seen such NPC before.

Is this woman an event energy in that direction? Are you in charge of the so-called meta side?

But if you realize that the whole world is nothing but a fake, it feels a little passionate.

If you realize such a fact, it would normally be more self-indulgent.

Basically, if you want to destroy the framework of the organized world, what do you do with it?

I don't know the true meaning of Acragio at this stage, but if the situation moves a lot, there may be some things you can see.

An army of demons who seem to have deep ties to Acragio is about to attack.

We couldn't back up the relationship, but we'll see about that then.

Lyla heard in the lab that the demons had launched a major offensive.

Lyla had recovered a lot of dirty hearts, and Acragio was full of analysis and synthesis, and she said she didn't need any more hunting.

I also stopped going to the front line badly and getting caught up in excessive disturbances, and decided to keep it quiet in the lab.

"─ ─ However, the output of 70% of the theoretical value has not yet been confirmed! One more step! One more step to the core of desirable properties ─ ─"

"─ ─ But Director! We're running out of time! The demons are on their way to the city! Barricades are of little use to flying demons! When will this lab be attacked...?

If Suertodios can be activated, turn it to the defense of the lab ─ ─ "

By the time the big offensive reports arrived at the lab, the front had already collapsed.

Everything seems to have gone missing (MIA) during the operation just before the onslaught, the commander of one of the base's many heroic battles.

Because of this, the front line, whose morale has collapsed in chains, has allowed the enemy to infiltrate the country without a prospect of recovery.

Unhappiness is overlapping. I feel compelled to sympathize.

The Armor Beast Cavalry, a candidate for the next main engine that the deputy station chief's team was studying, has already been recruited for the defense of the capital. In terms of specifications, the test rider is also in a set.

Even though it is a super romantic Suertodios with no practicality in terms of cosmetic appearance, it is not unlikely that the military will lose sight of this situation.

However, Acragio used to say at least 70% of the theoretical value. If 70% of the output is secured now, I think that's fine.

Is it because Lyla has brought a lot of hearts?

Acragio and the deputy director's query seemed to have finally been settled by synthesizing and trying only one more core.

The forces of the devils soon arrived in the capital.

Acragio has nothing to do with Suertodios and his core, and doesn't seem to care about Lyla.

Other researchers in the lab don't often touch Lyla, the hidden child of Acragio, from the start.

In other words, nobody was worried about Lyla in this situation.

Lyla hid herself in her usual "camo" and "undercover" and secretly ran up to the sky with a "sky drive" after leaving the lab with a three-dimensional scanner.

I would like to receive a cardiac synthesizer, but it has been operated by Acragio for a long time.

Overlooking the capital from above, smoke was rising from everywhere, and it was felt that demonic raids were doing less damage to the capital.

The road is overflowing with people fleeing, and even if the Armored Beast Rider in the garrison wants to deploy, it is difficult to do so. If we were attacked like that, we wouldn't be stuck. Not only the evacuees, but also the armored beast riders of the garrison.

I suppose we should take combat action in a way that disregards the evacuees, but considering the aftermath of the war, we can't be very futile.

The federal capital of this country is home to people who have migrated from various regions. I can't imagine how much blame I would be if I knew that the cause of death was the crushing of a military weapon, even though the principals who defended the capital were being held responsible for their deaths simply because they were drunk by the fire.

Even if we endure this situation, the Wikings Federation will virtually collapse.

If that happens, we will not be able to withstand the pressure of the southern Euk Empire, and each of the small countries that have fallen apart will be destroyed and disappeared from the continent's history.

"─ ─ By the time the demons decided on the big offensive, there was no future for this country. No, at least if the front line worked a little harder, we might have had some time to evacuate the general public... I'm sorry, really."

How is the young man in the staff doing?

I don't think it's such a pleasant situation that demons have come so far, but I just wish I could see my beloved superiors again.

In doing so, magic flew in from somewhere and landed right near the lab.

It's not about Lyla. It must be a stray bullet. Or maybe it was one of those indiscriminate attacks on the city.

It wasn't a direct hit, but the lab seemed to have shaken the whole building a lot, and some of it collapsed.

Fearing the impact, a shadow of the deputy director popped out of the lab.

I don't know if the lab is in the collapsed office building, but the research building for armor riding research should have considerable strength.

It's safer inside the lab than outside if you're going to run away.

Even the deputy director, who is supposed to have some of the best minds in the Federation, is like this. Panic is terrible.

After the deputy director, the researchers surrounding him escape one after another.

Like the deputy director, they are the Federation's prized minds.

If they die, Armor Rider research will stop.

Lila's share is fine because she has her assistant director Henri, but it will be a huge loss for the rest of the players.

Unlike older generations of online games, not all players can push a single employee.

It's troublesome, but I decided to help you.

We will take care of them and the demons who are going to take refuge, blow away the rubble that blocks their way and the unhindered evacuees, and help them escape without any problems.

Then he contacted Perlita, who had been reintegrated into the army because of the incident, and instructed him to go off like a diversion away from the deputy directors. I'm sorry about the new Perlita superior, but Perlita has a job for Perlita. I want you to understand that.

Having ensured some of their safety, Lyla returned to the lab.

The last heart synthesis was over, just before Suertodius showed up, breaking the hatch.

For a moment I thought it would be good to open it normally, but the workers who should operate the hatch are probably on the run. I wonder if there's anybody else.

Does that mean that the core and Acragio climbed up and set it up themselves? I wanted to take a look at that.

However, the appearance of Suertodios was slightly strange.

Even if you try to "appraise" your talent value, it is typed like an acrazio one day and cannot be judged accurately.

MPs and LPs that can be seen in "Magic Eyes" and "True Eyes" are enormous and even close to Lyla. It doesn't seem like a value that can be achieved with a talent value of about 2.5 times that of the last time I saw it.

Above all, your body is filled with terrible signs, even seeping into gold.

It's obviously not normal.

"─ ─ Finally. Finally, it worked. With this power, I can kill God! Haha, the output is higher than expected! This would be enough without mass production! Damn mechanical god! Show me what you see! History will kill you!

The voice of Acragio echoed.

It seems that Acragio is on board the Suertodios.

But being killed at the convenience of history.

Does this mean that the God of mechanics is not a God made of literal machines, but a God as a stage device, and that it is convenient for performing stories?

Acrazio saw someone killed because of the story of history.

I started my research to fight it, and it came to fruition. Is that so?

When it comes to storytelling convenience, it seems closer to being protected (locked) by the system.

If so, it is possible that the tragedy that Acrazio witnessed was even designed to bring these thoughts to Acrazio.

If Acrazio knew that fact, was it the system or the operation that Acrazio was trying to defeat? No, I don't think the NPC will notice that. There are no players especially in this southern continent yet, and there is no incentive to be aware of the existence of operations.

If you don't know, you'll be thinking about Acrajeo. In that case, if it is not an operation, who are you talking about?

Even such an unusual giant appeared from a conspicuous lab.

The demons have come from all over the capital, aiming for Acragio.

"Don't you see the difference in power? After all, you were right to cut to pieces early. Stupid race. After all, you guys are the only materials!

Suertodius opened his head like a dragon.

The next moment, when I thought, the light fell from the jaw gate, and all the demons that were gathered together were wiped out.

It's an attack I've seen.

This is probably a 'primary brace'. This is a brace attack from the True Dragon.

But it's more powerful. It may be due to the difference in simple stats, but I don't know because I can't see the stats of Suertodius.

The demons are being erased and turned into jewels.

But that wasn't the end of Suertodios' actions.

When Suertodios opened his upper chest, he exposed the core contained in his chest.

As soon as I saw what I was going to do, the core began to inhale the dirty heart left behind by the demons.

Before falling to the ground, the heart attracted to Suertodius sank to swallow as it touched the core. It is originally a gem of the same color. If that happens, I can't see where he's gone. Or maybe it's already fused at that point.

In other words, this Suertodius also encompasses the functions of the cardiac synthesizer.

Lyla wanted me to do it from the beginning if I could do it.

This function may be the part that was missing the theoretical value.

"─ ─ Oh, oh... It's pouring in, the demons' dirty energy... And my dios feel polished, refined and leeky... Oh, wow! Ahhh ─ ─"

The golden light emitted by Suertodius strengthens as you raise your colorful voice in vain.

Enhanced light is not just physical. Mana and vitality can be seen in "Magic Eyes" and "True Eyes". That heart's absorbed and it's even stronger.

In addition, Suertodios has even grown in size. The building at your feet is bursting and crushing away, making it huge. Given that it was originally a mechanical item made of metal or something, this is an anomaly.

Judging by the voice, the state of Acrajeo is also strange. It's not very decent. No, he was a little strange from the beginning, but now it seems like he's in such a state as if he's still experiencing heat.

That's not all. The sound of acrazio echoing from Suertodius gradually changed wildly, and the mouth of the Suertodius dragon was always moving in line with Acrazio's words.

No, it's not.

I'm sure my mouth is moving, but it's not for talking.

The mouth of Suertodius was opened to the limit, and something lubricated his face from it.

Literally, face.

The dragon's mouth revealed itself in the face of Acragio.

Suertodios' chest, which was still open, was covered with new armor soon after. The armor took the form of a rich woman's breast.

A Centaurs made of dragons, a giant woman who appeared tearing her upper body from the middle.

That is the horrible armored beast rider that shines in gold.

"─ ─ I wonder if I can say this is an armored beast ride. It looks more vivid, or something biological. I've even changed my name.

[Golden false god Akrat Baltazar]? From the name and appearance, the Golden Dragon's associates... "
