A long string of prompts popped up on the panel, which was quite overwhelming.
The surging energy fluctuations spread out again, forming an enormous tornado centered on Han Xiao. From space, it looked like a pot of gray soup being frantically stirred.
[Divine Throne Mechanic] is a transformative stage, with the level cap jumping from 40 for [Mechanic Dominator] to 60. It's a journey from Apostle to Emperor to Dominion, ultimately leading to the God Throne!
This is the pinnacle of mechanics in the currently Explored Universe. "Mechanic Emperor" Manison is at the [Divine Throne Mechanic] stage, and among the living Beyond Grade A mechanics, no one has surpassed him for the time being.
At this level, all abilities undergo a transformation.
If the Apostle Mechanic's characteristic is that power is attributed to himself, the Mechanic Emperor's characteristic is that he strengthens the army, and the Mechanic Dominator's characteristic is that he has an extremely long global attack range and can enchant Apostle Weapon... then the Divine Throne Mechanic's characteristic is that he greatly enhances the three of them and points to a new direction.
Despite the excruciating pain of transformation, Han Xiao carefully browsed the panel, examining each of the abilities granted by the job change.
The [Key to the Mechanic Faith] feat has a basic effect of increasing Mechanical Affinity by 200%. Its core function is to establish one's own Mechanic Faith. As long as believers worship him as the god of machines, he will receive a reward attribute. The more believers there are, the stronger the reward ability becomes.
There are many religions in the universe, and even the most ordinary people may have followers. However Mechanic Faith is a special sect in the universe that fanatically venerates mechanical technology, unifies materialism and idealism, and worships every powerful mechanic, venerating them as the god of machines.
Since Han Xiao accomplished so many feats, he has actually gained a large number of followers of the Mechanic Faith. Now, these followers can receive certain feedback from him—faith in Beyond Grade A mechanic who possesses the [Key to the Mechanic Faith] can increase their own Mechanical Affinity.
The Mechanic Emperor of Manison has always been the primary object of worship for the current cult of Mechanic Faith, reaping immense power from its followers. Now, Han Xiao also has the qualifications to receive power from his followers...
To put it bluntly, this is just exploiting people, and Han Da-ji is an expert in this field!
The [Divine Equipment] feat increases the success rate of crafting gold-grade blueprints. If you can craft a gold-grade equipment of the Universal Treasure level, you will also receive an additional bonus.
A saying that circulated widely on forums in the past claimed that the Five Superpower Systems actually represented five directions of "gods" in the true sense: Pugilist Class represented the "body," Esper Class represented the "spirit," Mage Class represented the "control over the rules," Esper Class represented "innate supernatural powers," and Mechanic Class represented the "equipment of gods."
While this claim lacks theoretical basis, it is certainly sensational and sparks much speculation.
[Mechanical Force Ascension - Heart of the Creator] is a core feat, Mechanical Affinity, +300% Efficiency in Mechanical Production, and +40% Mechanical Creation Performance. Like [Mechanical Force Ascension and Book - Apostle's Body], it is an ability that transforms the Mechanical Force attribute and complements many of the [Divine Throne Mechanic's] skills.
At the same time, this specialty also provides stronger personal attributes—free attribute points based on the level of all Mechanic Class skills (including blueprint skills), with 1 point for a single skill at Lv4, 2 points for Lv7, and 3 points for Lv10.
Han Xiao's formal Mechanic Class skills are now mostly at the maximum level, providing him with 189 free attribute points. He also has tens of thousands of blueprint skills, most of which were obtained through gambling and have not been upgraded. Among them, the blueprints that meet the requirements provide him with a total of 2128 free attribute points, bringing his total to 2317 free attribute points.
While the total number of attributes isn't as complete as with attribute-based systems, you can freely allocate attribute points!
Moreover, compared to the one-time attribute boost from advanced skills, this skill has high growth potential, providing a new way to acquire attribute points—which is precisely one channel for mechanics to monetize their knowledge.
Knowledge is power; the more you learn, the stronger you become.
The new skills outside of these three specializations are basically all core to the [Divine Throne Mechanic].
[All Things Simulation] is not a combat skill, but a creative skill. It can use machinery to simulate the operating rules of most things, including but not limited to imitating various celestial bodies, simulating various natural phenomena, etc. Except for the limitations of materials, it is like a creator, but this creator only uses machinery.
Han Xiao wasn't entirely clear on the function of this skill. He guessed that it was a life-related ability that could, to some extent, break free from the limitations of blueprints—nature was the best resource library. From ancient times to the present, almost all civilizations that developed naturally started their technological development by imitating nature.
[Dimensional Factory] has a similar function to the Mechanic Emperor's [Secondary Dimension March], but the difference is that the Dimensional Factory is equivalent to establishing a logistics base in the Secondary Dimension. When fighting, you can take the factory with you at all times, collect discarded parts from the battlefield to remelt and rebuild, endlessly manufacture and repair machinery, and mass produce troops while fighting.
The newly produced machines can be immediately deployed to the battlefield, and can also be used to temporarily manufacture targeted equipment, which is far superior to simply [Scrap Modification] and [Advanced Mechanical Generation], greatly enhancing their endurance.
With [Dimensional Factory], the Mechanic Dominator's map-wide playstyle truly becomes complete, ensuring there's no need to worry about logistical support wherever she goes.
[Supreme Virtual] is an ability derived from Virtual Specialist.
If you had chosen the Armed branch initially, the activated skill would be [Firmament Megastructure]; if you had chosen the Energy branch, the activated skill would be [Energy Molding].
The basic effect of [Supreme Virtual] is a 200% bonus to virtual technology and a default +3 level to virtual skills. Its core function is to create a virtual world and occupy a place in the quantum network, which can only be entered by virtual life forms and their own virtualized souls.
It has many uses. It can serve as a breeding ground for virtual life, allowing it to evolve naturally. It can also act as a fortress in a quantum network, releasing a large number of special AI hunters to prey on information flow within the quantum network, intercepting data or spreading viruses on their own. When using [Virtual Soul] to virtualize the target's soul, it can also trap the target in this virtual world. Compared to the quantum network, the time it takes for the target to escape will be greatly extended, and a forced escape will cause greater mental damage.
Han Xiao felt that Manison's enslavement of AI Civilization was partly due to this ability.
Both [Mechanical Life Seed Proliferation] and [Mechanical Civilization Enhancement] are specialties for enhancing mechanical life. The former increases the efficiency of transforming mechanical life and enhances the effect of [Life Creation], while the latter strengthens one's subordinate mechanical civilization in multiple ways.
The improvements include reducing the fire energy consumed by mechanical life forms in reproducing, increasing the potential of offspring, and accelerating the rate of reproduction.
The Mechanic Emperor has accumulated a massive mechanical civilization army, and these two capabilities have played a crucial role in that.
[Apostle Evolution] enhances the effect of the Mechanic Dominator's [Apostle Creation], but does not increase the number of Apostle Weapon. However, it improves the enhancement effect of Apostle Weapon Apostle Weapon, giving them greater combat power.
[Fusion - Mechanical Deity] is a transformation skill that uses the main body or the Dominion clone as the core to merge the scattered mechanical legions around it into one, forming an incredibly huge mechanical construct that becomes an extension of one's own body, allowing one to control this super behemoth in battle.
If there are enough combined mechanical legions, it's not impossible for them to reach the size of a planet; this is an alternative form of planetary megastructure project.
This behemoth possesses all the functions of a combined machine, and its various attributes are extremely terrifying.
With its colossal body traversing the universe, this is the "Mechanical Deity"!
The last blueprint, [Mechanical Divine Throne], is a special piece of equipment—a floating mechanical Throne, similar to the ones Han Xiao had made before.
However, this type has a special effect: sitting on it amplifies one's Mechanical Affinity, granting a 1.1x bonus to total mechanical affinity coefficient—so it's not without reason that some Beyond Grade A characters like the Throne... Of course, most of them are just doing it for the sake of looking cool.
This wave of job advancements likely grants the most skills ever, demonstrating just how terrifying the [Divine Throne Mechanic] class is at this stage.
"This advancement has resulted in a tremendous increase in strength!"
Even though the transformation process of changing jobs wasn't over yet, this bit of pain couldn't suppress Han Xiao's excitement.
Only after completing the level 300 advancement and job change did I truly reach the level of the Sorokin, the Mechanic Emperor, and the Dark Emperor!
