Chapter 811: [Beyond Divine Machine - Hunting Dragon (Level 12)]

Clouds descended, thunder silenced.

Above the Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon's head.

Ye Qiyan looked at the gear floating silently before him, somewhat surprised.

"It still hasn't reached Absolute Supreme? Is it because the Train Coins absorbed through Major Consumption Reduction weren't enough? But it's not that Major Consumption Reduction failed, it's that this gear itself couldn't absorb any more, yet..."

In his mind, the scene of constructing Lisette's body surfaced.

Back then, the "everything" that Lisette absorbed had far exceeded this gear.

But if that were the case, and even this Level 12 gear could only accomplish this much...

Then what about Lisette?

Before she was born, she had merely been a blueprint from GT World, and then, he sublimated her... shedding the GT prefix, allowing him to construct his very own [Absolute Supreme].

Lisette was special, was unique.

She had appeared by his side such a long time ago.

Yet despite never undergoing any significant enhancement, in this era where he was growing stronger and stronger, she had revealed an absolutely terrifying truth.

Perhaps...

Lisette truly was the strongest among all the machines he possessed, without exception.

Ye Qiyan let out a silent chuckle.

He turned to look behind him.

From the moment they left the Train, the gentle and beautiful maid had been following closely at his heels.

"Master?"

Ye Qiyan reached out and tugged at Lisette's cheeks twice.

"Just how many more surprises are you going to give me?"

Lisette didn't understand, but she could sense that her master seemed very happy.

So she was happy too.

"Master, however much you wish for, that is how much there will be."

She was always like this.

Absolute Supreme - Perfected World - Lisette.

Ye Qiyan's first, and currently his only, Absolute Supreme series mechanical lifeform.

His maid.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Ye Qiyan refocused his attention on the gear.

Though it was a pity that The Hunt couldn't directly attain [Absolute Supreme], this was nonetheless his first Level 12 enhancement item to date, and the system appraisal clearly stated The Hunt's name alongside his own.

Ye Qiyan was quite looking forward to it.

"The Hunt, getting impatient?"

He stroked the Mech-Dragon's horns.

The great beast beneath him let out a roar that carried no authority, but was filled with anticipation.

The Hunt could feel that this gear belonged to it, that it was something his master had chosen for him, something that had been bestowed with power for him!

It was going to become stronger! It was going to become an existence capable of defeating more enemies for its master!

"ROAR!"

The Hunt circled high in the sky.

Its resounding dragon's cry echoed between heaven and earth.

Clouds and mist accompanied its body.

The sounds of mechanical drives rang endlessly.

Ye Qiyan released his grip.

The [Divine Mechanism Gear] descended, landing directly upon The Hunt's head.

The next instant.

"ROAR!!!!"

A beam of dark-golden radiance shot skyward!

The Hunt's body soared to even greater heights.

The Wasteland was endless.

So too was the sky.

Upward, ever upward!

Until it reached its absolute limit!

Ye Qiyan had Lisette enter the Matrix space, while he himself used the Celestial Comet Drive to fly to the side.

Clouds follow the dragon.

Dark-golden mist completely enveloped The Hunt at its center.

[Transcendent Ascension!]

The moment The Hunt flew out from within the mist.

A brand-new mechanical dragon, one that had completed Transcendent Ascension, with a sleek and elongated form, and possessing an even greater sense of aesthetic beauty, appeared before Ye Qiyan.

[Transcendent Divine Machine - Hunt-Patrol Mech-Dragon (Level 12)]

[Eternal Binding: Ye Qiyan]

[Evolution Path: Absolute Supreme]

[Possesses four modes, freely switchable at any time]

[Traits: Absolute Supreme?/Demon/Machinery]

[Divine Machine: God, is not a title only for those with divinity. Mechanical lifeforms possessing this state will not be affected by any negative effects]

"ROAR!!"

The Hunt had become incredibly strong.

But the appraisal alone wasn't enough to display all of its abilities.

Things like manipulating clouds and mist, teleporting Ye Qiyan to the dragon's head, or allowing Ye Qiyan to directly control combat himself, none of those were written down.

"Divine Machine, huh, even without divinity one can still be a god, a completely different concept from those Divine Monsters. The Hunt, how do you feel?"

"Roar, roar!"

A red-glowing Light Screen materialized out of thin air.

Upon it, lines of text actually appeared.

"Happy, like, thank you, master!"

It still chose not to grant itself human-like intelligence.

The Hunt still only wanted to be its master's great dragon, galloping beneath Ye Qiyan's feet, ridden and commanded by him.

And so, it had evolved this ability.

To convert its own emotions into human text.

Though it was a crude version, it was enough.

"Sigh... happy, huh... but it's still missing a little something."

Ye Qiyan shook his head, and simply sat down.

"I thought you'd be able to become an Absolute Supreme like Lisette this time."

[Sorry... weak... useless...]

"No, it's not that you're useless, it's that this gear simply isn't capable of bearing that power. Mm, it's actually fine, after all, you haven't undergone Sublimation yet."

[Sublimation!]

"Right, Sublimation. Originally I wanted to wait until I could sublimate you to Level 11 before giving it a try. But now, you've gone straight to Level 12."

[Whimper...]

"Alright, this is a good thing. I can feel your potential, it's very strong. When your master here is able to sublimate you in the future, perhaps that day... will be the day you become an Absolute Supreme. For now, let's go, let me see just how fast you can be after this enhancement! The Hunt, any direction, maximum speed!"
