Mecha as Clothing? The Great Power of the Mysterious Side

Wang Zhen buckled his belt, strapped the holsters to his sides, and slotted the compact magazines into the pre-cut holes on the belt. Finally, he slid his two Remington 1875 revolvers into their holsters. He returned to the shooting range, testing his movements as he walked and making minor adjustments to the positioning of the belt and holsters until he could draw and fire with the most comfortable, fluid motion possible.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"What a pity! Even with my current physical stats, I still can't hit the mark with a 0.21-second draw-and-fire (the record set by Bob Munden in the real world)! Looks like I need more practice. Otherwise, it's a waste of Alucard's physical potential!" Wang Zhen returned to the range, faced a brand-new metal humanoid target, performed an American-style quick-draw, and sighed with regret.

Wang Zhen wasn't being difficult; as he said, if an ordinary person could reach that speed—and not just once, but consistently, as that legend held eighteen world records and three thousand five hundred trophies throughout his life—then how could he, possessing the absolute superhuman bloodline and abilities of the Vampire King Alucard, justify failing to achieve what a mortal could do with ease? How else would he survive in this circle?

Wang Zhen began his practice.

He had to admit, the revolver was truly perfect for the American-style quick-draw.

One word: stylish.

One word: cool.

Two words: stylish and cool.

Consequently, Wang Zhen practiced with meticulous precision.

He even set up several mirrors nearby so he could constantly and carefully observe his movements to ensure he looked stylish enough, cool enough, and both stylish and cool enough.

Ever since Wang Zhen left that assassin organization, the innate nature he had suppressed for eighteen years began to resurface.

Wang Zhen practiced casually, but his superior physical stats made every draw and shot smoother, simpler, and more accurate.

0.01 seconds! (Some online sources claim Bob Munden's Guinness record was 0.0175 seconds.)

After hundreds of shots, Wang Zhen's quick-draw speed had been whittled down to 0.01 seconds.

With this speed, the fifty-round magazine capacity Selene mentioned was clearly insufficient—he had found the definitive answer. Wang Zhen tested it, and fifty rounds were indeed not enough.

Therefore, Wang Zhen returned to studying the Transmutation Circle he had labeled "Capacity Expansion Technique." His goal was to increase the magazine capacity to one hundred rounds.

Selene continued her research into the Super God Titanium Alloy Gamma; after all, compared to Plasteel and Ceramite, this variant was much lighter. Wang Zhen could use his Transmutation Circle to decompose and reorganize these alloy materials, forging even better and stronger super-alloys.

Selene utilized the instrument's immense computing power to rapidly analyze each alloy, running constant simulations to see what changes would occur after decomposition and reorganization.

Although Wang Zhen could achieve this through Alchemy, Selene provided the trends for how these alloys would behave after being broken down and reformed—essentially mapping out the direction of their fusion.

This guidance made Wang Zhen's work much simpler; he no longer needed to test every permutation one by one.

This time, Selene wanted to create clothing with extremely high defensive strength.

Wang Zhen's requirement was that it must look like ordinary clothing, with no visible signs of ballistic equipment. This was an incredibly eccentric demand; in the real world, anyone making such a request would be scolded into oblivion or beaten black and blue.

In the real world, there is no ballistic material that can stop a 12.7×99mm BMG machine gun round while remaining as thin and light as regular fabric.

To achieve good ballistic protection, thickness and weight are essential. In other words, effective body armor (with plates) is thick and heavy.

But that was the real world. Here, there was the Infinite Space, filled with infinite possibilities, a vast ocean of knowledge, and countless plot worlds supported by endless films and anime. This place held the wildest imaginations and the most complex, diverse knowledge.

To Selene, this request—which would normally invite a beating—wasn't a problem at all.

Wang Zhen continued his shooting practice, but this time he wasn't focusing on speed; he was experimenting with combinations of his special ammunition, trying to figure out how to group these unique bullets to unleash the greatest destructive power.

When Wang Zhen emptied another magazine, he saw Selene pushing a cart similar to a supermarket trolley, filled to the brim with materials.

"Any progress on the new alloy?" Wang Zhen asked casually.

"Everything is ready. This is my plan for creating an alloy using Super God Titanium Alloy Gamma, Plasteel, and alien alloys. I think you can use this to try and forge the perfect material for armor."

"Then I'll give it a try!" Wang Zhen didn't hesitate. He holstered his two Remington 1875s, walked over to the cart, and picked out the three alloys Selene had mentioned.

Wang Zhen proceeded to transmute a new super-alloy using his usual technique. He named this one Super God Titanium Alloy Omega. This alloy possessed the characteristics of all the others while being as thin as paper—the perfect material for his vision.

Wang Zhen decomposed and reorganized this Super God Titanium Alloy Omega with super-fibers and other polymers to create a special material that was both a steel alloy and a fiber. He performed the transmutation dozens of times, estimating that he had enough material to forge a set of clothing that met all his requirements.

Having integrated Alucard's bloodline, Wang Zhen's durability was undoubtedly the strongest among his peers.

He casually forged himself a modern, modified denim suit. It wasn't retro, nor was it strictly modern. Once Wang Zhen put it on, he looked rugged and dashing, adding a touch of world-weariness and maturity to his naturally youthful, baby-faced appearance.

Moreover, the defensive strength of this outfit was incredibly high.

Wang Zhen forged another set of clothes, draped it over a metal humanoid target, and fired. The ordinary bullets, which didn't trigger the Transmutation Circle, were completely blocked.

However, when he activated the Transmutation Circle, the clothing couldn't hold up, easily being pierced or burned through, which left Wang Zhen feeling a bit depressed.

It seemed that even though these alloy materials were forged through mystical Alchemy, without the addition of mystical materials, they couldn't withstand attacks originating from the mystical side.

"This outfit barely meets my requirements for defensive strength," Wang Zhen patted his clothes and whispered to himself.
