Return to Iolcus at Last [Fifth Update]

With the aid of magic, Medea's consciousness quickly linked with Talos. Now, every move of the mechanical giant was entirely under Medea's control.

The next steps were simple.

Talos had originally been lifting a massive boulder from the ground, preparing to hurl it at the Argo—although it was itself a high-tech creation, since there were no other enemies in this era who possessed high technology, and mechanical civilization's technology had regressed, it had not been fitted with any powerful long-range weapons.

During this process, Medea even frenziedly activated overload mode. In an instant, the immense energy caused it to turn red-hot, and its overheated fist smashed into its ankle—its vital point, the weak point in its power transmission channel.
