Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 588 - 552 First Battle Test

As the Godslaying Armor descended, the roaring wind grew even fiercer, drawing the attention of those who should have been in their dreams to the massive object falling from the sky.

Although the Death Sect is an Evil God Sect with rather ghostly fiend-like operations, they truly don't have the habit of staying awake all night.

The corpse guild deals in the work of collecting corpses, but in the current environment of Langton, there's no real need to be sneaky about collecting bodies at night. Even if they were transported openly by carriage in broad daylight, no one would find it suspicious.

Moreover, Langton produces a large number of corpses every day. If they were all collected at night, it would be simply impossible to handle them all.

As for sacrifices, in the past they might have needed to be secretive, but now nobody bothers with open sacrifices.

So when the Godslaying Armor descended, most members of the Death Sect were already in their dreams, with only a few on duty yet to fall asleep, but as the night wore on, they were yawning constantly, distracted.

"What's that sound?" one of the guards on duty seemed to hear the wind, looking around vigilantly but finding nothing.

He suspected he had misheard, but the sound never disappeared and grew louder.

He turned to his companion, asking, "Did you hear..."

Before he could finish speaking, the increasingly loud sound from above caught his attention, causing him and his companion to instinctively look up.

Immediately, they saw a massive shadow descending from the sky, crashing onto... their heads.

"Splurt!" The sound was like a squashed rotten tomato, and the two guards vanished beneath the foot of the Godslaying Armor.

"Combat mode activated, executing first combat plan, switching to extinction mode." The colossal metal construct emitted a slight rumble, and its four eyes lit up simultaneously, glowing a vivid blood-red.

"Seems good, free fall descent from high altitude doesn't affect the machinery," the mysterious person remarked while holding a tablet, jotting down data from this Godslaying Armor deployment.

And beneath her feet, the Death Sect's stronghold had completely 'awakened,' or rather fallen into chaos.

The terrifying destructive power of the Godslaying Armor manifested fully at this moment, with ordinary people unable to survive more than a second before it, and even Extraordinary individuals failing to last ten seconds.

Of course, this might be because, until now, only lower-level Extraordinaries from the Death Sect appeared, like knights and rank-level Extraordinaries, none have shown up thus far.

And this allowed the Godslaying Armor to exhibit extremely bloody killing efficiency, as within merely three minutes since it landed, the Death Sect members fallen before it neared three digits.

Among them, most were mortals, but there were also double-digit Extraordinary individuals shredded directly by the Godslaying Armor.

Accompanied by bloodshed and slaughter, the Godslaying Armor seemed to have completed its warm-up, further improving its efficiency.

Noticing this, the mysterious person adjusted the multifunction lenses on her eyes for clearer observation of the Godslaying Armor while also jotting down on her tablet: "Killing aura activated, bloodthirst effect in effect, confirms divinity can influence mechanical constructs theory correct."

In creating this Godslaying Armor, Perfikot recognized the immense influence of divinity, hence during the second-generation's core and cognitive module production, she had Sanderion infuse a strand of extracted divinity into the Godslaying Armor's core.

This strand of divinity granted the Godslaying Armor greater strength while allowing some magic and alchemy, that typically couldn't affect metal machinery, to take effect.

And enhanced by these magic and alchemical augmentations, the Godslaying Armor's combat power advanced further, now resembling a ferocious beast awakened, tearing through detected and perceived enemies almost at lightning speed.

"Seems automatic targeting judgment capability is limited, action mode slightly clumsier than expected, efficiency 5% below anticipated, requires adjustment in targeting mode." Another piece of information recorded, the mysterious person pondered how to enhance this operational efficiency.

As she clearly saw, the Godslaying Armor was drawn by the fearless Death God Sect members and did not rush directly into the stronghold's interior to attack the underground altar as she envisioned.

"Has it been taunt-intercepted? Apparently, taunt fixation mode needs revision, cannot uncritically adopt the Autonomous Knights' targeting mode," the mysterious person mused, considering if applying the Autonomous Knights' targeting mode onto the Godslaying Armor was genuinely suitable.

This targeting mode suited Autonomous Knights naturally; used on battlefields, only enemy identification and subsequent efficient killing remain.

But applied to the Godslaying Armor, it was ill-suited, as its killing efficiency was overly high, so high that nearly no enemy could endure ten seconds before it, which is also when its internal logic performs a second-round judgment.

The so-called second-round judgment is actually evaluating identified enemies after initial targeting for higher threat or danger levels, marking them for prioritized elimination.

Yet until now, the mysterious person hadn't seen any targets warranting the Godslaying Armor's higher-threat judgment.

This made her suspect perhaps she arrived at an inopportune time; the Death Sect's experts might be out, or they could be indisposed with something.

Considering this, after touching her chin, the mysterious person planned to go directly to the battlefield, personally maneuvering the Godslaying Armor.

But after taking a step, she seemed to remember something, retracting her leg: "I promised not to do something reckless; if an avatar of an evil god emerges from below, that would be unfortunate."

Speaking this, the mysterious person ordered the Flying Airship to ascend further, eventually hovering about a thousand meters above the ground.

At this altitude, the ground cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye, even with excellent vision, as what's visible remains a seemingly miniaturized world. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But for the mysterious person, this altitude does not impede her observation, allowing her to continue overlooking the battlefield smoothly, recording all necessary test data.

Until an angry roar followed, the Death Sect seemed finally serious.
