Chapter 1133: Chapter 913: Encountering the Radiation Demon Again. Machine Spirit Composition Complete_2

Ten Lords Chat Group.

As expected, Feng Xingcuo went straight down the worst-case route and consecutively recruited 5 Bosses!

Fortunately, the previous 4 Bosses had already mentally prepared everyone. There was no point debating whether it was disgusting or not; the only thing to discuss now was that this couldn’t possibly be a skill of the Black Dragon Lord! Because Feng Xingcuo wasn’t from the Broken Bottle Commerce Association; he’d rushed over from Southern Canyon Village as a temporary team leader.

Besides, when the Black Dragon Lord issued the quest to the Broken Bottle Commerce Association, Sela was right there next to him and never saw the Black Dragon Lord do any sort of spell-casting or blessing. Sela grabbed the recording from back then, everyone replayed it again and again, and confirmed there was nothing!

Sariel said irritably, "Then there’s only one possibility left: Feng Xingcuo’s Southern Canyon Village has made some major breakthrough."

Gabriel said, "According to the normal village-stationing procedure, once Feng Xingcuo successfully stations for a month, he’ll receive a village-specific reward, which should be this thing."

Sela was getting quite anxious as well: "I’ve always wanted to take time to go to Southern Canyon Village, but I either end up sneaking into the Empire to steal a ring, or heading to some desert ruins. Now I have to accompany my mentor again, this is so motherfreaking Fak!"

Michael said, "Let’s stay focused. Just 5 pets at most, they only add pressure to our subordinate teams, nowhere near enough to affect our strategy."

Sela sighed, "Got it."

Sariel said helplessly, "Boss, what is our current strategy?"

Michael sighed, "I said it yesterday. We Sages have all been screwed over by the Emperor, so we can only give our full support to Sela’s side."

Sela laughed, "Relax, with my Polymerized Divine Format, I’m absolutely our shining hope!"

Sariel snapped, "Our strategy is to go all-in on supporting my Mermaid!"

Metatron sighed, "What are you talking about? I’m the Guardian God now. Our strategy should be to go all-in supporting me, right?"

Right at that moment, the Mermaid over at the shipwreck suddenly raised a very serious alarm: "A Sea Monster is coming!"

Shariel Raphael the Fourth Prince jolted all over in shock: "Is it strong?"

The Mermaid looked puzzled: "I don’t know, I’ve never encountered one like this. Should we turn on the lights and take a look?"

The Fourth Prince was stunned: "Turn on the lights?"

Ever since nightfall, the Fourth Prince had enforced strict light discipline, not daring to turn on a single light. After all, many creatures in the ocean have phototaxis. Even if the Second Prince came looking, he still wouldn’t turn them on.

But now...

The Fourth Prince had no choice but to fully rely on the Mermaid, so he ordered, "Turn on the searchlights!"

A dazzling beam of light pierced through the pitch-black night sea and quickly locked onto a "sea island" drifting over on the surface. The moment it sensed the light, that island suddenly sped up as it moved toward them!

Sariel was shocked: "This is clearly..."

The Fourth Prince was shocked: "All hands, prepare for bombardment!"

The Mermaid said, "I’ll go over with the two Sages and take a look."

Sariel also reminded, "Your Highness, conserve your energy as much as possible."

So the Mermaid wrapped herself in a water sphere and set off, like an alien water droplet speeding across the sea surface. Sariel and Raphael unfolded their Angel Forms and escorted her from the air.

Closer now, they could see it. It turned out to be an Octopus as large as an island, its entire body covered in countless fish heads! And it had hundreds of tentacles!

Gabriel was practically nauseous: "I’ve never seen such an ugly monster!"

Michael said, "It’s a Bug program created by an old-version life evolution experimental system! So this is the Sea of Creation."

Uriel said, "It should be just like the beetles in Hell, all redundant garbage generated during system operation."

Michael said, "These BUG programs have a lot of irrational aspects; their weaknesses should be very obvious. Sariel Raphael, specifically aim for the weak spots, and at the same time help the Mermaid summarize experience."

Sariel only got more and more disgusted and annoyed the more he looked: "I see weak spots all over it. Just blow it up!"

With that, he threw all kinds of Divine Artifacts at it!

Sure enough, this "island of flesh" was practically foam—within moments it was blasted into pieces, the sea surface littered with floating severed limbs and rotten flesh.

Even after the battle ended, Sariel was a little dazed: "That’s it?"

Raphael was even more dumbfounded: "No EXP? Not a single reward?"

Uriel couldn’t help laughing: "It’s not even as good as the Hell beetles!"

Sariel immediately flew down to ask the Mermaid, "Lord of the Divine Throne, what do you think?"

The Mermaid focused and pondered: "Too weak, not enough samples, hard to draw conclusions. Let’s see if any others appear."

Just as she said that, the searchlight suddenly swung in another direction, and the Fourth Prince’s side sent an alarm: "Lord of the Divine Throne, we’ve detected two islands approaching!"

The Mermaid smiled, "Now we’ve got samples. Let’s hit them!"

Sariel’s confidence also skyrocketed. Sure enough, these two mountains of flesh were just as foamy, collapsing at the slightest touch.

Then more meat-island mountains appeared!

Sariel was laughing now: "They really are highly phototactic! Perfect, we’ll just treat them as samples for my baby to study..."

...

It was 2 p.m. in reality, 2 a.m. in-game.

Tifa’s composition stability had far exceeded expectations, running continuously for an hour and a half already.

At the same time, Chun’s and Chifanda’s compositions had finally broken through to stable operation for 10 minutes, reaching the Guardian God’s initial requirement. After each crash and repair, they ran multiple times again, but still only a bit more than 10 minutes each time.

It had to be said, even if Chun was a Divine Artisan-level Mechanician, the gap was still painfully obvious compared to Tifa, who was plugged into the Yatnass system.

The Guardian God was quite satisfied: "Looks like this is the final composition! Time to fuse. You three, hand your compositions to me."

Watching the Guardian God combine the three compositions into one, Chifanda couldn’t help asking, "Honored guest, my composition is clearly far inferior to this little Fa lady’s. What right does it have to be fused with hers?"

This was actually what Chun wanted to ask too. Also—little Fa lady? Tifa had been disguising herself as a man the whole time and never said she was a woman, yet Chifanda saw through her at a glance? Is this the power of a Holy Spirit, judging not by the naked eye?

While fusing, the Guardian God asked, "Chief Engineer, are you a genius?"

Chifanda was a little embarrassed but still confident: "I probably wouldn’t go so far as to call myself a genius, but I’m confident I at least count as talent!"

The Guardian God then asked Chun, "Raven, are you a genius?"

No kidding?! If I’m not a genius then who...

But after thinking about it carefully, Chun felt a little guilty, so he chose modesty: "I’m not as good as the Chief Engineer and little Fa. I’m just relying on luck and hard work—"

Hard work my ass! He’d barely put any effort into mechanics at all.

Chun just said it outright: "I’m relying purely on luck!"

The Guardian God said, "But little Fa is a genius. Her composition is the ’genius mode.’ But geniuses have weak points. They overestimate certain ordinary people; things they find easy, they assume others will as well, which is actually wrong. So we need ’talent mode’ and ’luck mode’ to compensate for her weaknesses. That’s the essence of this three-in-one."

Ah! That makes so much sense!

Chifanda suddenly saw the light, then immediately asked, "Then, honored guest, can I also become a Machine Spirit?"

The Guardian God smiled, "That depends on how this batch of imitation equipment turns out."

As they chatted, the Guardian God’s three-in-one composition was officially completed: "We can start forging! It’s been simplified into a total of 47 main equipment components. With Smith the blacksmith and Miss Tissina’s abilities, and the materials we have, this is no problem."

Chifanda got hyped and immediately pulled out a communicator: "Tie, Cui, the blueprints are done. Start working right away!"

Chun was a bit worried: "Tie is researching how to break the Dragon Mother’s chains. Can he spare the time?"

Tie’s voice came through: "I’ve already figured out the optimal material choice: we’ll use this Empire alloy refined steel! We’ll mobilize everyone on the island and use a saw-rope to forcibly saw through the chains."

The Guardian God was amazed, "You can saw through this refined steel?"

Cui appeared: "Of course. All we need is the hardest diamond drill bit, and our Guardian God has that. Then we control the temperature, using thermal expansion and contraction to pull at the sawed section of the chain..."

Is she talking about the Siren? Chun found it hard to believe: "Where would she get one of those?"

Cui rolled her eyes at Chun: "We salvaged it from the shipwreck."

Holy Shit! That Heart of the Ocean Divine Format Gemstone from the Sea Dragon King! So it had this kind of function too!
