Chapter 792

Ren and the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers worked continuously.

The castings of each colossus changed shape in his hands, melted into liquid and then solidified, and then reactivated. At most, more than a dozen processes were required.

Every step is carefully controlled, various metals and alchemy materials are continuously added, and a magic alloy is formed according to a specific ratio. At the same time, the internal rune array is also completed, and then the castings are assembled and tested.

Unknowingly, Ren was busy until noon the next day.

The first giant statue is complete!

A ten-meter-high colossus stood in front of him, painted in blue and red, majestic, holding a long sword in both hands, and his facial expressions were lifelike, like a giant wearing precision armor. Even if it is not turned on yet, you can still feel its mechanical beauty and arrogance.

Anyone who sees this colossus will only marvel at its power and superb craftsmanship.

But Ryan feels differently.

"Ye Qing is back!"

He admired the giant statue he made, feeling a special sense of satisfaction in his heart, as well as a bit of nostalgia.

When watching movies in his previous life, he never thought that he would one day create a magical version of Optimus Prime, but that series of movies were all rubbish except for the special effects!

"Test it in battle."

Ren stepped forward to put the colossus into the nebula ring, and teleported outside the Obsidian Tower.

The cave where the Obsidian Tower is located is very large. The town that the beholders built under the tower for slaves to live in has been bulldozed, and several passages leading to the outside world have also been sealed to prevent creatures from the Underdark region from entering by mistake. It is currently transformed into an empty weapons testing ground.

Ren took out the giant statue.

Boom.

The heavy colossus fell to the ground, and its broad feet sank slightly into the ground. Just looking at its shape gave people a full sense of oppression.

With a thought, Ren started the Titan engine of the Colossus.

hum...

The eyes of the colossus are shining brightly, as if the sleeping giant has opened its eyes, and there are gears rotating, combining, and spiraling in the depths of the pupils. Huge energy flows through the whole body of the colossus, and there are bursts of metal sounds of mechanical collisions in the body, which sounds very pleasing to the ear.

A terrifying aura spread out, and the surrounding air became hot and hazy.

Thunder and lightning elements condensed from all directions, and the rows of rune arrays on the armor of the giant statue were activated, flickered a few times and then disappeared.

It has established a connection with the Obsidian Tower, and the tower continuously transmits mysterious energy to the colossus.

Ren stepped back a hundred meters.

He controls all the actions of the Colossus through the brain-distribution chip, and sees all the visions sensed by the Colossus, and the Colossus moves without ordering.

It strides, walks back and forth.

Every step made heavy footsteps, the ground trembled, and the sound of mechanical transmission was constantly coming from inside the colossus. After confirming that there is no problem with the structure of the whole body and everything is operating normally, the speed of the colossus suddenly increased, and it became faster and faster.

bang bang bang bang...

The ground shook continuously, and sound waves echoed throughout the cave, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

The giant statue running around the Obsidian Tower is as fast as the wind, and its posture is balanced. Not only is it not as clumsy as ordinary arcane puppets and golems, but it is also flexible and changeable. Giants.

Emergency stop, change direction, turn, jump...

As long as it is an action that a human transcendent can do, the giant statue can do it, without the slightest stagnation of mechanical creation.

The speed of the giant statue is equivalent to eight levels of swiftness.

With its huge size and weight, it is unbelievable to have eight levels of swiftness.

While running at high speed, the Colossus held up the giant sword weighing 10,000 pounds, squatted down slightly, and thick lightning bolts erupted from the right arm, converging on the giant sword from the palm of the hand, and the blade emitted a dazzling electric light. At the same time, at the position of the shoulder blades on the back of the colossus, the two left and right armors were lifted up, revealing two huge engine jets, emitting blazing blue tail flames in an instant.

The giant statue cut out with a sword.

boom!

With a thunderous explosion, the giant body of the giant statue flashed past, and appeared in the open space in the distance. Behind it, a gully more than 200 meters long was left on the ground, several meters deep. The soil was burned into glass by high-temperature lightning, and plumes of black smoke came out.

This is Optimus' most powerful melee attack.

Ren engraved the spell "Flash of Lightning" into the inside of the colossus. On this basis, combined with the principle of the combat technique element "Flash Sword Slash", he used the engine jet to accelerate instantly, and successfully produced an effect similar to "Thunder Slash".

He called this move "Lightning and Lightning Slash"!

The power of the lightning strike is similar to that of the thunderbolt released by Ren when he turned into a titan, but it takes a little longer to accumulate energy.

And after playing, the engine overheats and needs to be cooled, and it will take at least a minute before it can be used again.

But Ren is already very satisfied.

In the main material world, there may not be ten mortals who can withstand a lightning strike without dying. Even the golden behemoth known for its defense may not be able to stand it.

Moreover, the Giant Statue is not limited to melee attacks.

Driven by the huge energy of the Titan Engine, Ren engraved many lightning spells in the body of the colossus: Lightning Flash, Electric Explosion Ball, Advanced Thunder, Thunder Stomp, Chain Lightning, Electric Claw, Lightning Storm, Lightning Javelin, etc., They are all spells commonly used by Ren himself.

The most powerful long-range firepower is the electro-optic cannon mounted in the Colossus' left arm.

It is exactly the same as the electro-optic cannon in Gotham City's defense system. It releases "electro-optic rays" in three modes, high-frequency continuous shooting of rays with three to five rings, or releases a laser cutting target with seven rings, and requires full charge to A burst of nine-ring rays emitted.

These are the attacking powers of the Colossus.

The defense of the Colossus is also not bad at all. There are three layers of armor from the outside to the inside, protecting the Titan engine inside. Each layer of armor is engraved with arcane spells with different functions.

Attached to the outermost armor is a "resistance field".

Ren invested the most time and energy in this protective spell. Through hundreds of nodes arranged all over the body of the colossus, he restrained the originally spherical force field to fit perfectly with the colossus, like an invisible transparent barrier. The armor is worn outside.

The resistance field can protect against physical blows as well as energy damage.

At the same time, it only defends against attacks from the outside, while attacks from the inside are completely unaffected. In this way, it can be activated at all times during battle.

Conventional magic shields will affect melee combat, defending against enemy attacks, and restraining yourself.

Therefore, pure spellcasters are limited in melee combat and can only use spells to fight against the enemy.

Although the defensive power of the resistance force field is slightly worse than that of various magic shields, it is the best choice for the giant statue. As long as the energy continues, the force field can continue to exist.

Even if the force field is broken, the three-layer alloy armor of the Colossus itself is still indestructible.

In addition, the giant statue is also engraved with teleportation, arbitrary door, flying, arcane eye, exploration, spell reflection, spell deflection, spell invalidation barrier, shrinking spell, protection from arrows, protection from energy damage, spell absorber, etc. A series of arcane spells, focusing on mobility and protection.

From the beginning, Wren's design was that the Colossus had two systems.

Attack with lightning and protect with arcane.

The energy source of the lightning attack is the Titan engine, and the energy source of the arcane protection is the core of Iola, which needs to be transmitted through the air.

The Obsidian Tower can also provide mysterious energy to the Giant Statue, but both the energy power and the transmission distance are limited.

Therefore, the giant statue in front of us is not yet complete.

It needs to be paired with the core of Iola to be driven by inexhaustible energy in order to exert the most powerful combat effectiveness.

Boom boom boom...

Ren observed the giant statue emitting high-frequency lasers from his left palm, and suddenly sighed.

The Colossus is strong!

Stronger than most of the holy rank powerhouses below the twenty-fifth level, he can even fight against some weaker holy soul wizards, and has a good chance of winning, such as the Duke of Silver Star.

But it has one huge downside - expensive!

The most used material to make the giant statue is Titan blue iron, this magic alloy unique to Titans. After Ren obtained the formula with the metal touch, he smelted it with activated metal. The proportion of fine gold in the formula is the largest, and Mithril , Austinite, star stone and more than a dozen kinds of metal materials.

The giant statue weighs 120,000 pounds as a whole, of which 100,000 pounds are made of Titan blue iron.

This material alone costs more than 1.5 million gold shields!

In addition, there are 20,000 pounds of other alchemy materials, gems, magic metals, pigments for engraving rune arrays, and large source crystal rods in reserve.

Wren could pull out a dozen-page list.

In the end, not counting the labor cost, the total cost of a giant statue is as high as two million gold shields!

Even if I am very rich now, I can't afford such a sky-high price. Converted to the empire's copper lisuo, it is two billion.

Ten giant giant statues used up 20 million gold shields.

In addition to being expensive, Optimus also has the problem of cost performance.

Two million gold shields are enough to manufacture more than a dozen pairs of power armor and arm a small team of Ultramarines. The overall combat effectiveness of the two may be equivalent, but the Ultramarines have more uses and are applicable to a wider range of environments and scopes. When not fighting, it is just a decoration.

Ren shook his head. In the short term, he probably won't make giant statues anymore.

In the past two years, I have spent too much money, and I am about to be emptied.

Moreover, the amount of alchemy materials and magic metals purchased by oneself is too large, which has already affected the alchemy market of the empire. The prices of many materials have skyrocketed, and even there has been a shortage, and they cannot be bought even if they have money.

The cost of rebuilding the giant statue will only get higher and higher, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Ren can't help but feel a little regretful. The "Cybertron Legion" composed of fifty to one hundred giant statues can only be imagined in a dream.

The test stopped, the giant statue stood in place and turned off, the light in its eyes went out.

He returned to the Obsidian Tower to continue his work.

Soon after, the second giant statue was also completed.

Ren didn't test it himself, but asked the Thundercast Sky Soldiers to do it, and the remaining eight giant statues will be built within a few days.

"about there."

He withdrew and returned to Gotham City, teleported to Glamorgan, and then to Fort Vajra on the Thane Plateau.

It was afternoon, and there were bursts of shouts and shouts outside the fortress. It was the Knights of the Holy Lance training. At present, there are more than 8,500 Holy Gun Knights. The Vajra Fort went through an expansion last year, but it still couldn't accommodate all the Holy Gun Knights, so half of the members had to be stationed in the barracks in Gotham City.

The Ultramarines also added a fifth company, bringing the total to three hundred men.

In the past two years, Renn has not stopped letting the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers clean up the undead in the Abraken area, and has continued to expand westward. The knight blesses, and the remaining 30% is used by the mage avatar to build the spell model.

Now the number of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers is exactly five hundred.

Five hundred tool men are working day and night to build weapons and equipment, develop new things, train holy gun knights, and clean up the undead. They are inseparable from them everywhere.

Ren walked into the mechanical alchemy room like a factory building.

There are also more than a hundred Thundercast Sky Soldiers working here, and what they built is exactly the power armor that Rennes has studied for several years.

It's done now, just testing.

Previously, the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers were worn by themselves. After hundreds of tests and repeated revisions, some details in the design were improved and loopholes were resolved. There have been no problems in the past two months, and the Extreme Warriors can be officially installed. .

But try it on a few Ultramarines first, after all, the Stormcasters are much smaller than them.

"Sicarius, you bring a few brothers over here."

Wren issues orders through the Primarch Symbiosis.

A few minutes later, Sicarius, who was as tall as a wall, and four other Ultramarines entered the mechanical alchemy room together.

"boss!"

The five legendary barbarians shouted loudly.

They looked around this circular room curiously. They had never been there before. Even the walls were made of metal, and some places exposed wiring, which flowed with light of energy. There was a circle of tall display cabinets around them, and they couldn't see what was inside.

There is a hexagonal platform on the ground in the middle of the room. This platform looks extraordinary, only more than half a meter high, but the structure is very complicated. It is obvious that the main part is buried deep underground.

Ren said to Sicarius, "Take off your armor and stand on it."

"good."

Without hesitation, Sicarius quickly took off the heavy blue armor on his body, leaving only a pair of shorts on his body, revealing his steel-like muscles, which contained explosive and terrifying power.

He is already a middle-level legend, and he is only one step away from being promoted to a high-level legend.

On the platform was a pair of huge blue metal boots.

But this pair of combat boots only has the bottom plate, toe cap and half of the upper, like a pair of semi-finished products, very thick, but the edges are very smooth.

"Stand in."

According to Ryan's instructions, Sicarius put his feet into half of the boots and found that the size fit his feet perfectly, exactly. The touch from the feet is also very strange, very tough and solid, but also has a kind of indescribable elasticity.

Before he could feel it carefully, he heard the sound of mechanical transmission.

Ka Ka Ka...

The platform trembled slightly, and eight mechanical arms stretched out from below, two of which clasped their wrists to stand up, and opened their hands to the sides to fix the posture.

The other six quickly extended to the surrounding walls, the cabinet door on the wall opened automatically, and the mechanical arm took out pieces of armor parts shining with rune light, and they retracted stably and quickly as if they had their own thinking. , Assemble the armor parts on the body.

"Above Gilliman!"

The Ultramarines were so stunned by this scene that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
