Tuster's "Six-armed Deer God Armor" was originally designed for his completely atrophied body. Now that the toxins have been completely cleared and his limbs have returned to normal, he has gained four more limbs that can control more complex mechanical systems, resulting in the modified "Eight-armed Deer God".

Of course, it's possible to add ten arms.

However, having more arms doesn't mean you can control them all at once.

Controlling mechs in combat demands a high level of neural reaction speed, and distracted operation also places a heavy burden on the brain. This is on a completely different level from the workload of daily research (such as the bio-spider arm of Ilubeck).

Fortunately, thanks to his physical disability over the years, the old man has been able to use those eight Mechanical Arm with great skill and dexterity.

In terms of the number of arms alone, he alone is equivalent to four of the other mechanics, and the combined combat power increases exponentially.

Although the combat mech only gained two more arms, it gained some very powerful equipment.

The advanced technology blueprints discovered in the Goblin Ruins enabled Tuster to create many strange and wonderful weapon systems.

[Thermal Observer], [Goblin Micro-Rockets], [Red Hot Melting Steel Ray], [Steam City-Breaker Hammer], [Spiral Energy Splash Shield].

The two free hands can be used to operate these special weapons that do not need to be activated at all times.

In short, the old man's armor is now extremely powerful.

It's so powerful that even someone like Bazel, one of the "Ten Great Legends," found it incredibly outrageous.

No one expected that the group from Black Dragon City would confront the City Guard -on, nor did they expect that the main force that confronted them would be Tuster.

Everyone was stunned by the old man's Eight-Armed Armor.

This is the Oma Royal Academy of Sciences, known as the "Holy Land of Steam Machinery." For the past thousand years, it has stood at the pinnacle of technological advancement. It also produces the most advanced Mechanical Armor and various cutting-edge equipment.

But now, the academy's mechanics were all gaping, utterly shocked.

Karl's "Little Raccoon" Mechanical Armor did put pressure on them, but it was probably only a difference Second Tier and Third Tier levels of the Transcendent.

The "Eight-armed Deer God" that Tuster possessed gave them the feeling of an insurmountable gap between a low-level Transcendent and one of the "Ten Great Legends".

"So, his eight octopus-shaped Mechanical Arm were used to operate this armor."

Upon seeing this ten-meter-tall suit of armor, everyone understood why Tuster had eight Mechanical Arm on his spine.

However, it is precisely because we understand it that we are even more shocked.

All mechs operate on a purely physical system, with eight Mechanical Arm, meaning that his brain and nerves can simultaneously control such complex Mechanical Armor.

This alone is something that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Moreover, the combination armor that resembled the Transformation Techniques opened the eyes of the students from the Oma Academy.

The cutting-edge technologies involved were so complex that even the most Mechanical Grandmaster and Grandmaster at the academy were completely baffled by them.

On the other hand, Dean Breidan and the city guards' expressions changed drastically.

The Eight-Armed Armor put immense pressure on them.

"This is completely different from the armor described in the intelligence!"

Breidan had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong.

The intelligence he received clearly indicated that the six-armed armor possessed extremely high physical and magical defense, its black blade could kill Fifth-tier Magical Beast, it was fast, and it also had a very powerful cannon.

But no matter how you look at it, the description in the intelligence report and the mecha in front of you are two completely different things.

However, what's done is done, and there's no turning back now.

Breidan didn't think a "legendary mech" could stump him. After all, they had considered this possibility when they decided to take action. They were fully prepared to deal with any mech.

Just then, Mr. Tuster also piloted his mech and rushed over at high speed.

"Shield Wall!"

The Omar Imperial City Guard is the elite of the elite, and the recruitment threshold for non-nobles has always been the best among the second-tier transcendents.

Moreover, because they came prepared, nearly half of the teams consisted of High-tier Extraordinary beings of Third Tier or above. Furthermore, they possessed Omar's most advanced mechanical equipment!

Just before the Eight-Armed Mech charged over, they changed formation on the spot. One by one, the well-trained guards took out huge mechanical shields. With a series of clanging sounds, the guards instantly formed a tortoise-like shield formation.

Moreover, cannons protruded from the gaps in the shields, and flames were already shooting out from the muzzles just as old man Tuster charged in.

Thud! Thud! Thud.

The deafening roar of the artillery fire echoed throughout the entire Oma Academy like muffled thunder.

The combined fire of hundreds of individual artillery pieces was powerful enough to cleave mountains and breach cities; even mechanical bodies could not stop it!

Even if the massive impact of the explosion doesn't destroy the main armor, it will directly destroy the mech's sensitive components, rendering the mech unusable instantly; it might even severely injure the mechanic inside!

This tactic was specifically designed to surround and kill top-tier experts!

Moreover, even if the first volley of artillery failed to destroy the Eight-Armed Armor, there would be a second and a third volley.

Hmph, so what if it's a legendary Mechanical Armor?

There's only one!

Breidan himself was a top-notch mechanic. He analyzed all the intelligence from the "Plague Base" in detail and was certain that his tactics could easily destroy the so-called legendary armor.

But the next second, something unexpected happened.

Tuster charged forward in his Eight-Armed Mech. Seeing the dense barrage of cannon fire, he naturally wouldn't take it head-on. Instead, he held up the massive shield adorned with a ferocious black dragon, shielding most of his mechanical body's vitals.

The next instant, countless cannonballs slammed into the giant shield in the hands of the Eight-Armed Armor.

Crack, crack, pop, pop

The sound wasn't a deafening, explosive noise, but rather a strange, muffled thud.

If it were any other ordinary metal shield, even one made of the highest-level enchanted alloy, so many shells hitting it would surely shatter it into pieces.

Forces are reciprocal. No matter how sturdy, it will have to withstand the enormous impact of a hundred cannons in a head-on collision.

Even if it is lucky enough not to be destroyed, the enormous impact of the shell's instantaneous burst would definitely overturn the mech on the spot.

But

Strangely, the black bullets, each the size of a bowl, struck the shield and remained embedded in it for a moment before falling to the ground.

It felt like raindrops falling on a lake, creating a slight ripple. The cannonballs struck the shield, but the force strangely dissipated, leaving the shield completely unmoved.

In the distance, within the shield formation, Dean Breidan, who had just been smirking and waiting to see the Eight-Armed Armor destroyed, exclaimed in shock as if he'd seen a ghost, "Angelas Black Iron!"

As a top-tier mechanic, he immediately understood what was happening when he saw the strange phenomenon of the cannonball hitting the shield.

However, he was also incredibly shocked. "How is this possible! Such a huge shield is actually made entirely of that divine blood alloy?"

That shield must have weighed several hundred kilograms. But only if the content of "Angelas Black Iron" exceeded 80% could the shield surface produce that strange "ripple" when hit by artillery shells.

However, even if you plundered the entire Oma Imperial Capital Treasury, you might not be able to find so much of this divine iron!

Where on earth did that guy Tuster find so much divine iron and extravagantly forge it into a giant shield?

The value of this shield alone would absolutely drive all alchemists in the world crazy.

This is pure equipment dominance.

No one expected that the shield of the Tuster mech would be such a treasure.

This black shield alone absorbed over 95% of the impact of the artillery fire, instantly neutralizing Breidan's encirclement tactics.

Amidst the artillery fire, Tuster, shield in hand, continued his fierce charge forward.

At that moment, colorful six-pointed Hexagram Magic Array lit up on the ground and in the void as he moved forward.

The opponent clearly knew that this mech had extremely high magic resistance, and that offensive spells were almost useless, so they directly used control spells.

Swamp Technique, Web Technique, Vine Technique, Slow Technique

"Magic Scroll released!"

The City Guard at the foot of the capital city demonstrated their formidable strength. When faced with a troublesome enemy, the commander did not hesitate for a moment and directly ordered the scroll to be torn apart.

Fourth Tier- and fifth-tier Magic Scroll were torn apart in batches without any hesitation.

Because it is Magic Scroll, all spells are instantaneous.

In an instant, a barrage of high-level spells swept across the sky.

This "money-spending" tactic instantly created a terrifying magical control field. Even Ten Great Legends like Bazel, one of the top ten, would have to avoid its power.

Tuster's target was Breidan, who was hiding in the shield formation. Instead of retreating, he charged straight ahead!

Just when everyone thought the Eight-Armed Mech would inevitably fall into a series of control spells, suddenly a "Steam Sphere" on the back of the mech suddenly spewed out a burst of high-pressure white gas.

Suddenly, as if propelled by a tremendous force, the nearly ten-meter-tall Eight-Armed Armor "leaped" into the sky!

At that moment, it was as if time itself had slowed down.

Everyone looked up at the enormous creature soaring through the sky and gasped in unison.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, they would at most be shocked.

But these mechanics saw something no less impressive than when people in Rein's previous life first saw an alien spaceship.

"How could such a heavy Mechanical Armor fly? Just how much pressure was stored inside that Steam Sphere?"

"My God, this is unbelievable. This pressure is at least equivalent to the main power boiler of a 'Ghoul-class' Mechanical City, but its volume is only one percent of that? What kind of structure and materials can support such immense pressure?"

"Even if we had another fifty years, we still couldn't forge a 'Steam Sphere' under such immense pressure. The technology in Black Dragon City is terrifying. Just who is this Tuster?"

"."

Shocking time and time again.

One after another, cutting-edge technological machines that crushed the times.

Mr. Tuster's armor was like a cutting-edge mechanical exhibition, showcasing to people what it meant to have a level of technology that was ahead of its time.

With his own strength, he was like a giant, pressing down on everyone in the entire Oma Royal, forcing them to humbly prostrate themselves on the ground.

The mechanics who were initially envious of Black Dragon City's technology now showed fear on their faces.

The difference isn't significant, and I'll still compare it to my past self.

When the gap is too large, it's no longer just jealousy, but also admiration or fear.

Having grown accustomed to being "Number One Under Heaven," they never imagined that another entity would emerge in this era with technology decades more advanced than their Oma Academy.

But then, it appeared.

It appeared so abruptly, giving people absolutely no room to process it.

A giant barged into the backyard of a group of dwarves and smashed their prized possessions to pieces.

For the first time, Mr. Tuster unveiled his skills to the world.

With an absolutely arrogant attitude, and with extreme violence, they crushed the arrogance of everyone at the Oma Academy.

It abruptly made everyone realize that times have changed.

The researcher who was once expelled from the Oma Academy through treacherous schemes has made a triumphant return.

With his overwhelming power, he forcefully proclaimed that the era of Tuster Furnster's dominance in the mechanical field had arrived!

Not far away, the mechanics watching the battle were all shocked and muttered to themselves in astonishment, "This is the 'Mechanical Legend'!"

Tuster's Eight-Armed Mech suddenly leaped into the sky, something that had never been anticipated in any of the tactics.

A car engine can make a car move, but it can't make a car fly; that's common sense.

Because even the most powerful armor in the world can only leap a few meters at a time, which is considered quite good.

The fact that this Eight-Armed Armor can move so quickly at its weight is already an astonishing technological feat.

But now, it's flying.

Because of the leap, the Eight-Armed Armor easily avoided all the magical traps on the ground, then curled up in mid-air. The airborne mech suddenly spewed out another puff of white smoke, and then, like a cannonball, it spun continuously, crashing into the shield array with a whooshing sound.

The moment they made contact, the pneumatic hammer Mechanical Arm, which had been charging up for a long time, struck out with a roar.

Old Master Tuster's improved goblin technology - the Steam City-Breaker Hammer!

A single hammer blow can shatter a city; it's perfect for dealing with immovable objects.

This hammer blow, imbued with the force of ten thousand tons, wasn't particularly fast, yet it gave the impression of a primordial beast stomping down. The once interlocking shield array, under this immense force, was like thin, brittle planks; with a crisp "crack," the mechanical shields shattered.

The arms of the guards directly behind the shield instantly exploded into a bloody mist, their vision turning crimson. The immense impact also sent dozens more guards flying.

The old man punched the shield formation, and then the six freed mechanical arms drew black and gold longswords, swinging them wildly like windmills, hacking and slashing through the crowd.

The six Arc Vibration Black Blades were wielded in a dense, unstoppable manner, sending fragments of armor flying through the air.

Third Tier-, Fourth Tier-, or even fifth-order Transcendent are simply no match for them.

High-tier Extraordinary are barely able to protect themselves; they have absolutely no means of harming this "iron lump." Swords and blades might leave scratches on the armor, but they wouldn't damage Tuster's body in the slightest. All types of magic are completely immune, as if giving the mech a bath.

There are also the [Sixteen-barreled Vulcan Cannon], the [Miniature Rocket Launcher], and the [Red Hot Melting Steel Ray].

Once these firearms are unleashed, they will surely claim the lives of the guards in droves.

Armor, Bodyguard Battle Qi, and magical shields offered the guards no sense of security whatsoever.

In an instant, screams filled the air, and the vast open space transformed into a crimson slaughterhouse. Guards, missing limbs and broken arms, screamed as they tried to flee.

An invincible presence!

That Eight-Armed Armor was simply unmatched!

Whoever rushes in will only lose their life.

Ironically, even though Tuster's Eight-Armed Armor charged in and out of the City Guard's battle formation seven times, Dean Brian, who was already terrified, was completely unharmed.

The corpses formed a circle around him. Guns and cannons seemed to deliberately avoid him, killing everyone around him but leaving him the only one alive.

The Eight-Armed Armor is invincible; it cannot be stopped by flesh and blood.

Even the two fifth-tier commanders were severely injured and forced to retreat after taking several blows.

Within five or six breaths, the open space was filled with corpses within a radius of a hundred meters.

The guards did not dare to charge again, but quickly regrouped and formed a battle formation, facing off against each other.

There was only the Eight-armed Deer God Armor that had been slaughtered and left in a bloodbath, and Dean Breidan, who was trembling with fear of death.

"Snort!"

Tuster snorted coldly, manipulated the Mechanical Arm to grab Breidan, but did not kill him.

Instead, he took out a specially made iron ring and locked it around the man's neck. The iron ring was made of high-quality steel and could not be broken by any external force. The other end of the long chain was connected to a huge iron ingot.

With an iron ring around his neck, Breidan was so crushed by the heavy chain that he couldn't stand upright and could only crawl on all fours like a dog among the corpses. He tried to break free of the chain, but his weak body was no match for the thick iron chain.

At that moment, Tuster glanced at him and said calmly, "Breidan, I won't kill you. Use whatever other means you have."

He paused, then added, "Watch closely, today I will utterly destroy everything you covet right before your eyes!"

At that moment, Breidan realized that the other party had no intention of reasoning, presenting evidence, or relying on the law this time, just like they had done before.

It was not because of his unparalleled mechanical prowess that he possessed!

Making up for yesterday's.
