After Benjamin returned to the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, the first thing he did was carefully inspect the Level 8 robot Wizard Noren had stuffed into his hands.
This thing should have belonged to an elite unit of that mechanical civilization. Its construction was far more exquisite than the mechas he had seen on the battlefield.
Beneath its silver-gray shell, every inch of space was filled with precise energy circuits and miniature runes.
Moreover, after Benjamin swept its core circuitry with the True-Delusion Breaking Pupil, he discovered that Phase Space technology had even been used inside the shell, further packing it with all manner of energy circuits.
Looking at the designs of those many energy circuits, Benjamin could not help voicing his admiration.
This thing's energy efficiency was astonishingly high, and its design could truly be called art.
"Just the designs of these energy circuits have already made this worthwhile—"
If he applied those energy circuit designs to his own Rune Artifacts, their combat power could rise by another huge margin.
After thinking it over, Benjamin first scanned and modeled the machine, then poured out a heap of miscellaneous fragments from his Internal Grotto-Heaven.
They were all things he had casually collected from the battlefield before: armor fragments from that mechanical fleet, small mechanical components that had been swept by the Great Annihilation Divine Light but had not completely vaporized, as well as several energy nodes of unknown purpose.
Besides that, he had specifically purchased several sets of top-tier Level 7 technology-side technical materials from the Magic Network, intending to use them as "reference textbooks."
Benjamin decided to bring these things to the Second Laboratory and hand them over to Hadar's Tentacle Tree research team, along with the Plant-folk researcher stationed in the ecological garden.
After all, both the Tentacle Trees
