Holy Akashic Conqueror - Chapter 185 Magitek Mechanical Automaton
Central Region of Ilter Federation, Planet Ilter
Currently, Commander Fuerig was leading the Magitek Army and also, Imperial Soldiers to attack the rest of the Ilter Federation. They have successfully destroyed all fortresses that were gearing territory of the Ilter Federation without any bigger losses or resistance.
Behind him was Zombie King, or it would be more precise to tell, former Zombie King Khazar leading his zombie horde, and devouring every living being they could find. Right now it was the most important task Commander Fuerig had, to protect the zombie horde and, provide them with enough “food” to evolve.
“Commander, we are already nearing the Capital City of the Ilter Federation. From Magitek Scans, we are getting images of some weird weapon, probably energy-based installed on the walls of the city. Energy-Level is near Early-Phase Yuanying Realm.” Reported officer carrying a hologram model of the Capital City of Ilter Federation.
“Hmm… this could be problematic. Yuanying Realm is Immortal Stage comparable to the Marquise-Rank in Sacred Body Refining System. This could be troublesome. Report it to his Highness and also to the Orbital Spade Defense Fortress.” Answered back Commander Fuerig, as this was the most optimal solution.
=============================================
“Hmm… energy-based weapon with output comparable to the Yuanying Realm cultivator. For Magitek Soldiers and Imperial Soldiers, this could spell certain doom. Even though we are at the outskirts of the Aizhouma Universe, they have weapons capable of injuring my person.” Muttered Lucien as he read the report from the frontlines.
In the flash, he used a bit of the Void Energy to teleport to the Capital City of the Ilter Federation. Immediately he appeared before the Capital City, high in the air as four Ukaku Wings were sprouting behind his back.
He grasped one katana zanpakutō and just slashed, aiming at the energy-based weapon that was in the Capital of the Ilter Federation, to be sure it got destroyed in on the hit, he infused his katana with Destruction Energy, the highest amount he could generate at his level of cultivation.
After a single attack, he managed to successfully destroy thoughtfully the energy-based weapon that was in hands of Ilter Federation. When the weapon of potential mass destruction was destroyed, Lucien wawed his hand sign for Commander Fuerig to order an attack on the rest of the human forces on the planet, and finally conquer the whole planet for the Empire.
As Lucien was watching Magitek Infantry Soldiers marching and fighting, he soon thought about some improvements about them. In reality, he was pretty interested in the making process of Magitek creations, so he usually spent some of his free time studying them.
When the energy-based weapon was finally destroyed, Commander Fuerig led Imperial Army together with Magitek Soldiers. Ordinary soldiers of the Ilter Federation were no different from ants compared to mighty Magitek Soldiers, or Imperial Army of the Holy Niflheim Empire.
Lucien returned to his place, while he was still thinking about creating his own Magitek soldiers. Thus he started creating a blueprint, based on all Magitek knowledge he had and also, with some knowledge obtained from God-Devil Plane, which was also a pretty advanced one.
After some time, he finally got a result, of his first creation.
Magitek Mechanical Automaton – Arachne Type, Warrior.
“Even though it is the only prototype of the Mechanical Automaton, its combat power should be around Pinnacle-Phase Count-Rank, but a most problematic thing is creation of intelligence and at least basic consciousness.” Muttered Lucien, while Itori walked behind him and curiously looked at the blueprint.
“What is that? It looks like some Magitek Soldiers, but scarier…”
“Mechanical Automaton, also Magitek creation but much more advanced, created with help of Alchemy and heritage of many civilizations. Although we are not able to create Mechanical Automatons, designs I have seen back home, are still not very effective. After reading through some books, I have noticed that some species like Zerg or Arachnes, have terrifying combat power also because of fact, they have many attacking options. I designed them based on Arachne Race.”
“I have the privilege to introduce you Magitek Mechanical Automaton – Arachne Type, Warrior. Basic Mechanical Automaton, its upper body is that of humans, but with four hands, wielding four blades. Also, it has two hidden Magitek Particle Cannon that is usually used on Spaceships. The lower body is that of spider, with eight legs, and every leg is sharp as a blade, ready to be used as a weapon in close combat. It has two Magitek Energy Generators inside of them, compared to standard Magitek Soldiers, which have only one.” Explained Lucien with pride.
“Wayuu… are we able to build that?” Asked Itori with sparkles in her eyes.
“Sadly for now, no. The crucial item is basically an A.I. program that has consciousness. For an A.I. to develop consciousness would need a lot of time, and not talking about the fact, we are not able to create such advanced A.I. to be self-aware and ever-evolving. If we are able to conquer some A.I. civilization and reform their awareness, we could build legions of Arachne Warriors.” Said Lucien with a disappointed voice.
If you compare one Magitek Mechanical Automaton – Arachne Type, Warrior to Magitek Infantry Soldiers, then one Arachne Warrior could fight at least five of Magitek Infantry Soldiers and defeat them without any trouble. This was also perked by its consciousness. Stil, Lucien planned to design more of Arachne Types, for the future, when the Empire would have resources to mass-produce them.
