Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 837 - 66

Back in the laboratory, Perfikot was observing the recovered shattered projectile under a fixed magnifying glass on the operation table.

Perfikot picked up a semi-melted fragment of the projectile with tweezers, showcasing its not-yet-fully-melted metal structure under the spotlight: "The debonding structure completes separation the moment it leaves the barrel, the 100mm diameter armor-piercing body is the real killer.

And this is just an ordinary nickel-chrome alloy warhead, only applying a three-stage carburizing process on the surface to increase surface hardness..."

"This is just an ordinary warhead?" Eri looked at the damaged fragment in Perfikot’s hand, her voice revealing an incredulous tremor.

As a demigod, Eri had witnessed the might of divine beings.

The previous electromagnetic cannon shot that easily killed an ancient beast had already left her shocked by its power.

At that time, Eri thought that since it was a Godslayer weapon specifically crafted by Perfikot, its power was expected. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

However, now Perfikot said that she had only used an ordinary warhead and that its power could be further enhanced, how could she not shiver?

"Yes, even harder materials can be used to make the warhead, such as diamond, which is the hardest substance in nature." Perfikot casually responded to Eri’s question. Although whether diamond is suitable for a warhead is debatable, it is indeed feasible.

Furthermore, Perfikot doesn’t only have this type of warhead design at her disposal.

She casually mentioned to Eri: "Besides steel needle warheads, alchemical tools can also be used as warheads. For example, the Ryder Kingdom once gave me a spear from the mythical era, said to be their national Divine Artifact, which, once thrown, would streak across the sky like a meteor and unfailingly hit its target.

I analyzed the spear’s crafting technology and completed a replica. Though it became single-use, its power did not diminish.

If the replica is shaped into a steel needle and loaded into the debonding armor-piercing shell, its power will see a qualitative enhancement."

"Is that spear called Gungnir?" Eri evidently had heard of the spear, showing a horrified expression.

It was a weapon crafted by the Elf Race in the mythical era, and although it wasn’t clear how it ended up in the human kingdom called Ryder, it was obviously a highly powerful weapon.

In the mythical era, that weapon was used to combat the gods.

If Gungnir and the electromagnetic cannon were combined...

Eri could only imagine the terrifying scene and power in her mind, which made her scalp tingle.

The key to Gungnir wasn’t its power but that once the spear was thrown, it would inevitably hit its target.

While Perfikot’s electromagnetic cannon was indeed powerful, Eri could see that its operation was relatively cumbersome, with some aiming issues.

Attacking large targets might be feasible, but accurately hitting divine beings was somewhat challenging.

After all, no matter how powerful, if it doesn’t hit, it’s in vain.

However, when the debonding armor-piercing shell of the electromagnetic cannon is replaced with Gungnir, which has unfailing hit attributes, this addresses the biggest shortcoming of the electromagnetic cannon.

And this will bring a qualitative leap to the cannon’s power!

Imagine the electromagnetic cannon merely needs to lock onto a target, then fire armor-piercing shells at a rate of three per minute, and those replicas of Gungnir, carrying immense kinetic energy, will inevitably hit their targets, transferring all that kinetic energy into the target or puncturing through; even typical Subordinate Gods or Divine Attendants would not withstand such an onslaught, let alone the gods themselves.

If there were a few more electromagnetic cannons, even the Main God might have to avoid its edge.

Only then did Eri become convinced that Perfikot truly had the power to tear open the divine realm’s veil and slay the divine beings.

"Such a terrifying weapon... aren’t you afraid it might trigger unforeseeable consequences? For instance, those humans, do they really trust you to wield such formidable power?" Eri looked at Perfikot, not knowing what she was thinking, asked a rather probing question: "You’re not a king, right? With such power, does Her Majesty the Empress really trust you?"

Perfikot looked at Eri with a very strange expression, then sneered: "You need to understand one thing: I admit, she is the Empress; I do not admit, I am the Empress."

Such words are rather treasonous, yet for the Victor Empire, it’s an incontestable fact.

Even if Perfikot were to say that in front of Empress Annie, Empress Annie would only remove her own crown, place it on Perfikot’s head, and then declare her crowned as the new Empress.

This could be a joke, as given the relationship between Perfikot and Empress Annie, such jokes are permissible.

But it’s also a fact, for Perfikot possesses the ability to make it a fact.

Not just power, but because she has long mastered forces capable of surpassing all else.

Eri felt quite alarmed by this, but she sensed that Perfikot was indifferent to these worldly matters, as if to her, the power and fame pursued by the world were insignificant like weeds.

"You don’t care? But that’s being the Empress of a nation..." Eri tentatively asked Perfikot, unsure if she believed there were humans indifferent to power.

Yet Perfikot casually replied in a bored tone: "Why should I care? Power? If I desire it, can’t I conquer the world since I can slay gods?

Prestige? If I can slay gods, what in this world could be nobler than I?

Reputation? My research and exploration in alchemy and achievements in other scientific fields would already ensure my name is recorded in textbooks, remembered by humanity for centuries to come.

All worldly things have long lost any meaning to me; what I aspire to are higher existences."

As Perfikot spoke to this point, she lazily stretched and loosened her muscles before continuing: "Humanity’s future lies in the heavens, in the endless starry sky!

There is too much unknown worth exploring up there, so why lower my vision to the trivial earth?

I shall ultimately reach the stars, pursuing eternal truth!"

Only then did Eri feel the dazzling light from Perfikot, a light of ideals.

She had no doubt Perfikot could achieve what she set out to do because Perfikot possessed the ability to write her own future.
