Science is Combat Power

The Six-armed Mechanical Giant was like a meat grinder blocking the path of the Beast Tide, and in the blink of an eye, it slaughtered a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Just then, a giant, golden bull suddenly charged down from the city wall.

Moreover, the "Soy Sauce Scavenger Group" was the first to be hit by the collision route!

"Tier 5, Golden Savage Bull!"

Rein blurted it out.

Bazel's expression also changed slightly, and he muttered, "This is a troublesome big guy."

The Golden Savage Bull is a rare Tier 5 magical beast with extremely high strength talent, far surpassing even a werewolf like Bazel, who Strength Extraordinary.

It has thick, tough skin and spends its days rolling in the mud of swamps. Its skin has accumulated earth elements, forming a thick keratinous layer that covers its entire body. It is as hard as iron armor and can even withstand artillery fire.

No one dared to confront such a behemoth head-on.

Even armored personnel carriers and heavily armored soldiers can be smashed to pieces.

But now, the Six-armed Steel Giant neither dodged nor avoided, and charged forward fiercely!

The Golden Savage Bull, over ten meters long and weighing over a hundred tons, charged down the city wall with its eyes red. With the help of inertia, it was like a metal cannonball launched by a cannon, rampaging wildly and moving as fast as a golden ribbon.

Tents, bunkers, motorcycles, crowds, Beast Tide —all were smashed to pieces!

It's like a sharp knife, intending to cut the base in two from south to north.

Suddenly, the Six-armed Mechanical Giant controlled by Tuster pointed its pair of golden antlers directly at the heavily armed Golden Savage Bull, seemingly intending to collide head-on with it.

This made Rein worry for the old man. After all, no matter how good the shock absorption device is, if it crashes head-on, the people inside will probably feel like they've been hit by a giant iron bell, their souls leaving their bodies.

However, mechanics are always meticulous in their work, so he must be confident in doing this.

The golden light arrived in the blink of an eye.

However, to everyone's surprise, the Steel Giant had no intention of engaging in a head-on collision at all. At the very last moment of the collision, it simply dodged.

The speed was too fast; Rein couldn't catch what happened in that instant, while Bazel exclaimed in surprise, "So agile!"

As is well known, the larger the size of heavy machinery, the less maneuverable it is. This is the biggest reason why mechanical equipment is somewhat useless in the eyes of High-tier Extraordinary. What good is strength if you can't hit anyone? You can only take hits.

Although his previous movements were quite agile, his speed was nothing compared to that of a top-tier Transcendent.

But now, Bazel actually saw the six-armed giant skillfully avoid the Golden Savage Bull's rapid charge, which was so fast that even High-tier Extraordinary might not be able to dodge it.

Putting aside the operator's keen perception and timing control, this sensitivity is something that no mechanical equipment on the market can possibly achieve.

Its mechanical joints are as flexible as a human body!

This gave Bazel a new understanding of the sensitivity of heavy machinery.

Creak

The bull charged forward, missed its target, and then braked sharply, its four hooves carving a furrow nearly a meter deep into the hard ground behind it. It continued forward for another hundred meters or so before finally coming to a stop.

With this turn, its accumulated momentum vanished, and its imposing presence and threat plummeted by 80%.

At that moment, the Steel Giant gave it no chance to charge up and charge again. Just as the bull turned around, its massive mechanical body leaped a hundred meters.

As soon as the Golden Savage Bull turned around, its horns and the golden antlers collided with a loud crash!

The two enormous creatures actually started to compete in brute force.

The Steam Boilers behind the Steel Giant was chugging and puffing out white steam, as if it had reached its maximum power output.

Then, incredibly, in this contest of strength, the Steel Giant did not lose in the slightest, and the two were locked in a stalemate!

This seemed completely unbelievable to onlookers.

Because even such a large solid steel ingot could be easily blown away by the immense force of the Golden Savage Bull!

"This"

Rein was also secretly delighted.

But the Golden Savage Bull's skin was indeed as indestructible as the legends said, and its sharp antlers showed no sign of piercing it.

Bazel looked on, a complex expression on his face, and sighed, "The power and reaction speed of this mechanical armor far surpass those of a typical fifth-tier Strength Extraordinary."

The bull only has one head as its point of attack, but the "Great Muscle Tyrant God" not only has the giant stag horn, it also has six arms!

Just as the antlers and bull horns collided, sparks flying and a series of ear-piercing "crackling" sounds, the Steel Giant's arm moved.

The four black longswords and the giant sword slowly pierced towards the Golden Savage Bull's neck and abdomen.

Rein was also a little confused. Shouldn't they be pushing it in harder in this situation?

How can something so slow have any power?

Moreover, strangely enough, the five sharp blades were gently placed on the thick skin of the Golden Savage Bull, and then a phantom image appeared!

Rein: "Huh? That black knife isn't just stabbing, it's vibrating at a high frequency?"

Seeing this, Bazel shook his head and, based on his experience, added, "It's a pity. Even if its strength is comparable to that bull, killing it is impossible. Without the enhancement of battle aura, no matter how sharp the mechanical swords are, they can't penetrate that layer of earth elemental armor. If this continues, the burden on the mechanical boiler will only increase, I'm afraid..."

He swallowed the rest of his sentence before he could finish.

A shocking scene unfolded!

Although the tip of the longsword pierced the neck failed to penetrate the golden armor, the other four black blades, though struggling to advance, slowly drew blood.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of the knife had penetrated nearly a foot and was still going deeper.

Blood flowed freely, and only then did everyone realize that the "Golden Savage Bull," which could withstand artillery fire, had been breached!

Bazel's expression suddenly changed. "How is this possible! Even the sharpest weapon couldn't possibly pierce through the Golden Savage Bull's leather armor like that!"

The reason this legend lost his composure was because everything before him violated a Transcendent principle.

"."

While Rein was pleasantly surprised that the old man could injure, or even kill, the Golden Savage Bull, he also found it unbelievable.

The Magical Beast Encyclopedia says this thing is invulnerable to blades and spears, so how come it got pierced so easily?

Rather, it's the Golden Savage Bull's innate ability to condense earth element that grants it exceptional defensive capabilities. Therefore, theoretically speaking, it's impossible to draw blood without breaking through that elemental armor.

To kill this savage bull, a High-tier Extraordinary would need to attach more concentrated battle qi to their weapon and pierce through its "earth element armor" before they could truly injure its skin.

Like many High-tier Extraordinary, when they activate their battle qi to protect themselves, they are difficult to harm by swords and blades; but after they die, a scalpel can easily cut through their muscles.

It's not a simple matter of skin defense; it involves some mysterious and Transcendent power.

Therefore, this is not a question of whether the blade is sharp or not.

The mechanical armor had no battle aura at all, so how could it cut through the elemental armor of the Golden Savage Bull?

Seeing this incomprehensible scene, Rein turned to the legendary figure beside him who had lived for over two hundred years and asked, "Senior Bazel, what exactly is going on?"

"."

Bazel's eyelids twitched; clearly, this had touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.

The legend didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes, with an expression that said, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

At this time,

Little Karl, the competent commentator, spoke up at the opportune moment, "That's a black blade made of 'Arc-Vibration Alloy,' which is why it was able to break through that bull's earth elemental armor."

Rein heard a new term that had never appeared in any ancient texts. "Arc-Vibration Alloy?"

Bazel, standing to the side, was equally bewildered; this question had truly piqued his curiosity.

Karl thought for a moment, then said, "This relates to a mechanical theory that Grandpa discovered, the 'String Vibration Law'."

He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, before continuing, "The elemental armor appears to be a single piece, but it's actually composed of tiny energy particles that, under specific conditions, achieve a very stable state. However, Grandpa discovered that the elemental armor also has a weakness: those particles aren't always so stable. When a certain vibrational frequency is reached, the stability between the particles reaches its minimum, at which point the cutting resistance is minimal. In the field of mechanics, this theory is also used to cut certain special materials; Grandpa simply studied it more thoroughly."

Rein had at least taken a few basic physics classes and understood some of it.

But Bazel was completely baffled. He tried hard to understand why the black blade had pierced the Golden Savage Bull's leather armor, but found it was beyond his capabilities.

At this point, Karl continued to the crucial part, "So, based on that theory, Grandpa experimented and created a special alloy called 'Arc-Vibration Alloy.' Yeah, those black knives. The blades appear unchanged, but they've actually been heated to several thousand degrees, activating the enchanted free particles; while the 'variable-frequency vibration cutting device' on the mechanical arm tried hundreds of vibration frequencies within seconds, finding its most unstable state. The two working together can easily cut through elemental armor."

"."

Bazel rolled his eyes at the complex theory, feeling a wave of nausea and urge to vomit rising in his head.

Who am I? Where am I? What did I just hear?

These are the three soul-searching questions once again.

He immediately gave up on the idea of understanding the principle.

However, Rein seemed to understand the principle of this black technology and said, "So, what you mean is that the black knife is not a 'Transcendent weapon' in the ordinary sense, but an alloy battle knife that can generate special vibration frequencies and high-temperature ions?"

"Yes."

Karl nodded and continued, "In a mechanic's eyes, whether it's monster leather, metal, wood, or elemental armor, it's all material. As long as it's material, it can be cut. That's why Grandpa found the cutting frequency of that bullhide armor and cut through it smoothly."

"."

I listened to nothing!

Bazel's eyelids twitched as he listened; he felt his own legend was a failure. Whenever he participated in topics that required thinking, he felt completely unable to get a word in edgewise.

Rein, however, vaguely understood.

After listening for a while, Bazel only vaguely grasped that the black blade was not an ordinary Transcendent weapon, so he asked, "So... how did the black blade cut in without any battle aura conduction?"

The definition of a "Transcendent weapon" is a weapon that can be imbued with Transcendent power. Whether it's enchanting, inscription, or materials, it's all for the purpose of better transmitting the battle aura and magical elements of the Transcendent being.

But that black knife wasn't a Transcendent weapon at all; it was simply a functional weapon forged for "cutting".

One takes the approach of microscopic scientific theory, while the other takes the approach of Transcendent; they are completely different paths.

Unable to explain, Rein could only reply, "Science is Combat Power."

"."

Bazel knew he probably couldn't understand the principle, so he gave up on trying to figure it out.

In the distance, the blade in the Steel Giant's hand had completely sunk into the bull's body. The legendary figure sighed with a complex expression, "With this black blade, the mechanical giant's combat power can truly be compared to top-tier Transcendent."
