Chapter 109
Looking at the Mechanical Construct before him, he unleashed his Secret Technique, "Blood Blade Kill," using his own blood as a weapon, and destroyed the enemy in one strike.
But the next moment, even more Mechanical Construct covered him.
The robot had no blood to target and no water to control. Even though he was a general-level expert, it didn't take long for him to die from exhaustion.
At the moment Liver fell, Tatsumi, standing nearby, also successfully cleaved Daidas, the last of the Three Beasts, in two with a single sword strike.
With that, all Three Beasts were annihilated!
"Phew, it's over!"
"Is this what it means to be a Teigu user or a Shogun? They're incredibly strong..."
After the battle ended, Tatsumi and the others looked at the corpses in front of them and couldn't help but sigh.
Without the help of the Mechanical Legion, even with the blessing of the Light Cone, they could only ensure their own safety.
Killing them is almost impossible.
"We are still young, we still have time..."
"We will catch up with them, even without relying on the Light Cone and the Mechanical Legion."
Daidas patted Tatsumi on the shoulder. He had also learned a lot from this battle and realized that the Imperial Arms users and the generals of the Empire should not be underestimated.
If even the Three Beasts are this powerful, then how terrifying must their superior, the Empire's strongest and most powerful general, Esdeath, be?
"That's right, we'll catch up with them sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Tatsumi regained his confidence; he was no worse than these people.
The three then collected all the Imperial Arms. They had already witnessed the power of the Imperial Arm and the Flute Imperial Arm, but they didn't know much about Liver's Ring Imperial Arm.
They were a little curious whether they could use these three Imperial Arms themselves, but they didn't do anything rash. They planned to hand them over to Clara first and then decide what to do next.
After putting away their Imperial Arms, Tatsumi and the other two turned and walked back to the former Minister Jolie and his daughter; they did not leave.
I'm just not feeling so well!
"Who exactly are you people? And what about all these machines...?"
Upon seeing Tatsumi and his two companions approach, former Minister Jolie asked them warily.
Although they appeared to be protecting him and his companions, he didn't let his guard down. Looking at the surrounding robots, Jolie sighed inwardly.
Even if they have ulterior motives, he can't stop them.
These robot Antimatter Legion were simply beyond his ability to resist.
"Sir, don't be nervous, we're not bad people!"
"On the contrary, we are here to protect you."
"And as you all saw, if it weren't for us, you would have been in trouble just now!"
Noticing Jolie's nervousness, Sayo and Tatsumi quickly spoke up.
He then recounted all the relevant details to him, including the truth behind the Emperor's summons to the capital and the origins of the Three Beasts.
"I see, I didn't expect it to be like this. Thank you so much."
"I never imagined that the empire would become so dark under the control of those people. It's truly... sigh..."
Having learned about the situation in the capital and the Three Beasts, Jolie's eyes widened, and he was momentarily speechless. He knew the empire was in chaos, but he hadn't imagined it had deteriorated to this extent.
He was a retired veteran, yet they still wanted to kill him to frame an assassin organization.
This is simply...
Incomprehensible.
With treacherous officials in power, these villains have completely seized control of the government. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, abandoning even basic principles. The empire is utterly beyond saving.
At the same time, he felt a wave of fear, having already witnessed the battle just now.
If it weren't for the appearance of these people, his fate would have been a tragic death.
He didn't care about his own death; what he worried about most was his daughter and the retainers who had served him for years.
How could Jolie, a former minister of the capital, not be grateful for such a great favor?
"There's no need for that."
Looking at the kind and excited old man in front of them, Tatsumi and the other two felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was a former minister.
Then, remembering the important matter, Tatsumi continued, "You've already seen the current situation in the Empire. Although you were a former minister, you no longer have a place to stand. The minister and Esdeath will not let you go."
"So I hope you can think this through carefully, not just for yourself, but for the sake of all the people in this world. So, will you continue on to the capital? Or will you cooperate with us...?"
The three explained Jolie's current situation, and in fact, he himself was now quite aware that he had no place in the Empire.
Otherwise, the current situation wouldn't have occurred.
The three men then briefly introduced their plans and goals, inviting him to join their ranks.
Looking at the Mechanical Construct around him, Jolie fell into deep thought.
It seems he has no other choice.
Chapter 48 Hidden Moon in the Grotto-Heaven, Azure Dragon Cleanses the World!
"Teigu..."
Clara looked at the three Imperial Arms in front of her. They were the Imperial Arms of the Three Beasts, which Tatsumi others had given to her not long ago.
Clara wasn't surprised that they were able to defeat the Three Beasts.
With the Light Cone and so many Automaton Soldier around, it would be too embarrassing if we still couldn't defeat the Three Beasts! Although the Imperial Arms users are powerful, they're not ridiculously strong.
Not every Teigu user is as terrifying as Esdeath.
Esdeath was an accident.
So Clara wasn't surprised by this result; what was surprising was that they had actually received an achievement reward for defeating and killing the Three Beasts.
This made Clara think a lot. Perhaps she could get someone else to help her accumulate Points?
[(Achievement) Help Tatsumi and the others defeat the Three Beasts and earn 500 Points!]
[(Achievement) Saved former ministers and other civil officials, earning 1000 Points.]
[(Achievement) Obtained two Imperial Arms [Belwack], March of the Orchestra [Scream], and Water Dragon Possession [Black Marlin], reward: 3000 Points.]
"..."
In the blink of an eye, I've earned another 4500 Points.
However, Clara didn't continue drawing cards this time, as she felt she wouldn't be able to draw anything, and there was nothing she urgently needed in the short term. The power supply for the Creation Engine had also been resolved.
So after thinking about it, she converted all of it into Destiny Power.
And they've all been replaced with the path of Erudition...
Clara had previously exchanged for less Erudition Destiny Power, mainly because she thought it was unnecessary and that Mr. Svarog was sufficient. However, with the continuous expansion of the Mechanical Construct industry chain, Clara discovered that there were more and more places where Erudition Power of Destiny was needed.
In particular, although many of the materials used in the creations were modeled after Belobog's Automaton Soldier, because the materials were all from this world, the quality of many of them was not as good as expected.
The materials were substandard...
Rare materials similar to Orichalcos are extremely difficult to collect.
Therefore, she wants to find a new formula for metal synthesis, which is a bit troublesome to rely on Clara and Svarog's current abilities, but it may not be impossible if her Erudition destiny advances further.
After exchanging all her Points for Erudition Destiny, Clara felt her brain instantly swell up.
It was as if countless cosmic formulas were flooding into her mind, like a blessing directly bestowed upon her by the Nous. Of course, this was far from the level of Emanator; it was merely a metaphor.
But in that instant, Clara did gain a lot of insight into cosmic data and had a greater grasp of the metal synthesis formula.
Not just in this aspect, but even...
Clara looked at the three Imperial Arms in front of her, and she even felt that she could try to replicate them.
If there are enough materials.
Of these three Imperial Arms, the two great axes [Belwack] are the most brutal and simplest, requiring almost no difficulty.
The other two abilities primarily stem from the abilities of the Super Danger Beast...
If Clara could obtain new Super Danger Beast materials, she felt she should be able to create a completely new Imperial Arms.
The so-called technology for making Imperial Arms has been lost, and it is impossible for a new Imperial Arm to appear in this world. Even if there were a ready-made corpse of Super Danger Beast, it would not be possible to make one.
This theory can now be directly refuted by Clara.
It can be made as long as you have the materials for the Super Danger Beast.
"Clara likes this one, as for the other two... let's see if any of Tatsumi or the others are a good match!"
Clara directly picked up the three Imperial Arms Water Dragon Possession [Black Marlin], which was also Liver's exquisite ring.
With this Imperial Arm, she can transform into the Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae.
In the anime, Liver's control over water flow is exactly the same as that of the water dragon controlled by Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in the game; there is no difference whatsoever.
It's practically a perfect replica!
Although in the setting, the power of the Water Dragon Possession [Black Marlin] is far inferior to that of the Dragon Lord, in terms of form and power manifestation, wielding this Imperial Arm is a perfect imitation of the Moon Drinker Dragon Lord.
As for the other two Imperial Arms...
Clara completely disdains the two large axes [Belwack], and as for the March of the Orchestra [Screaming]... she doesn't really understand music and art.
She can simply explain their structure here and then give them away to others, since she doesn't really care about them anyway.
Instead of rushing to study the Imperial Arms, Clara put the Water Dragon Possession Ring on her middle finger and found that the ring was really beautiful.
I just feel that she's not suitable for a timid girl like Clara; she'd be better suited to someone more assertive.
The girl looked at the sky and realized it was still early.
She ran out with her snow-white feet and came to the edge of a waterfall.
Then she raised her small hand adorned with an Imperial Arms. While others cannot use multiple Imperial Arms simultaneously, this limitation does not apply to Clara.
Even though the Imperial Arms didn't like her, it became obedient under the power of fate.
The so-called compatibility between wavelength and Teigu user is actually the residual consciousness of Super Danger Beast. They will only cooperate if both sides are compatible and agree.
However, under the power of destiny, the remaining consciousness of this Super Danger Beast became very compliant and naturally no longer had any influence.
"... Phew, it's starting,"
Clara is now destined to become the Moon-Drinking Dragon Lord!
After fully accepting the power of the Water Dragon Possession [Black Marlin], Clara felt as if she had become the Lord of all waters.
Learning from the gestures of the Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae in the game, Clara began to control the river and waterfall in front of her.
"Divine Dragon Ascends the Clouds, rise!"
The next moment, the river water began to change drastically, and then a water dragon in the traditional Shenzhou dragon form emerged from the water and flew straight into the sky.
It's not so much similar to the game, but it's exactly the same.
It's not over yet...
"The Hidden Moon in the Grotto-Heaven, Azure Dragon Cleanses the World!"
Once again mimicking the Moon Drinking ultimate move, the river appeared high in the sky, and the next second, a lifelike water dragon, tens or even hundreds of meters long, appeared in mid-air, its head locking onto the forest below.
The next moment, the Azure Dragon Cleanses the World crashed directly into the forest, turning the forest in front of it into complete ruins.
Perfect!
When we arrive in the Star Rail Universe, Bian Bailu will prove to those Dragon Elders who the true Dragon Lord is.
The capital city.
