Chapter 596 -579: Six Level 4 Golems

On the day Xiong Da was sent into Cybertron for an upgrade, the production progress of three brand-new PX-5s in the adjacent Workshops No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 had already reached 83 percent.

Allen personally oversaw Xiong Da’s upgrade project.

The Factory Servants first dismantled all the damaged Radiant Black Steel Armor on its body. During the dismantling process, Allen didn’t miss a single piece of old armor. He activated the “Insight” of the Metal Law, inspecting the internal structure of each armor plate one by one.

He lingered especially long on the areas eroded by the Black Wizard’s curse.

Very few curses could directly affect metal. To achieve this, it inevitably involved Laws. Under the vision of Laws, Allen clearly saw an abnormal curse power. It did not corrode the metal’s surface; instead, it directly tampered with the arrangement order of the metal lattice.

A normal Radiant Black Steel lattice was dense and orderly, with layers of structures interlocking to possess extremely high overall strength. However, after being invaded by the curse, the lattice began to twist, and the bonding force rapidly plummeted, turning the originally hard metal into something like a piece of soaked, rotten wood.

Allen pinched a piece of dark gray armor fragment, slowly tracing his thumb across the fractured surface.

“If only Xiong Da had been using Silent Extinction Silver back then…” he thought.

The Silent Extinction Silver’s Forbidden Magic Field could suppress the Magic Activity of anything not containing the Power of Laws to below 20 percent within a five-meter radius. The fundamental reason PX-4 had been beaten into such a state was the old armor’s lack of defense against Magic Power erosion.

Now, this glaring weakness was about to be completely covered.

Throughout the half-month construction period, Cybertron’s Workshop No. 4 remained brightly lit.

The new Demon Pan Steel skeleton took shape section by section under the precision forging press. Every piece of material was verified by Allen’s “Insight” from the Metal Law, its strength adjusted to the theoretical optimal value.

Burning Stream Copper heat dissipation pipelines were laid inside the skeleton like blood vessels, replacing the previous, inefficient old heat dissipation system. The three Dawn Star Level engines also underwent some modifications, with all interfaces connected to the Burning Stream Copper pipelines. The areas originally prone to heat accumulation were redesigned into multiple circulating heat dissipation structures.

Silver-gray Silent Extinction Silver Armor plates were sent out from the forging workshop and, under the control of the Factory Servants, installed onto Xiong Da one by one. When the final chest armor closed, covering the Demon Pan Steel skeleton, the Magic Power concentration in the entire assembly workshop visibly dropped a level. The Silent Extinction Silver Armor was already displaying its extraordinary nature.

Next came the weapons.

Dozens of Factory Servants bustled at its feet, using mechanical arms to secure the sixty-meter-long Meteor II Ship-Slicing Blade to the magnetic hardpoint on its back.

Finally, the Dragon Cavalry System completed its assembly.

From today onward, Xiong Da would no longer be a heavy-duty unit that could only stand on the ground and take hits. It could fly.

An extremely thin gray coating evenly covered the machine’s surface, immediately blurring Xiong Da’s signal within Magic Perception. If the previous Xiong Da was a steel mountain towering over the earth, then now, even the silhouette of that mountain was hidden by the night.

The assembly was complete.

Standing on the hangar’s observation platform, Allen looked up at the completely renewed Steel Giant before him. It still maintained its original outline: an eighty-six-meter-tall body, broad shoulders, and a powerful limb structure. But its aura was entirely different.

The silver-gray Silent Extinction Silver Armor gleamed coldly under the stark white lights, seemingly suppressing the surrounding Magic Power even further. The eight Freedom Wings on its back were folded and retracted, resembling a set of undeployed blades. The Ship-Slicing Blade was secured to its back, its dark red edge silent, yet instinctively projecting danger.

The current PX-5 did not look like an ordinary Golem. It was more like a moving fortress of war ready to deploy at any moment.

“Jarvis, final report.”

[Peacekeeper PX-5—’Xiong Da’ unit, upgrade complete. All systems online.]

[Armor System: Silent Extinction Silver passive Magic Suppression Field radius of five meters; any Witchcraft constructs below the level of Laws will automatically disintegrate upon close approach. Abyssal Lead coating attenuates Magic Power detection and Soul Perception signals by over 95%.]

[Skeleton System: Demon Pan Steel full load-bearing structure with a Level 3 buffer of impact absorption, thermal conversion, and Burning Stream Copper exhaust. Skeleton fatigue accumulation during extreme overload combat is reduced to 60% of the original.]

[Thermal Management System: Full Burning Stream Copper pipeline coverage. When all three engines are simultaneously overloaded at full power, heat dissipation efficiency is 4.6 times the original. Sustainable overload duration is extended from one minute to three minutes.]

[Weapons: ‘Zero’ series Antimatter Annihilation Main Cannon (Burning Stream Copper barrel upgraded version). ‘Meteor II’ Gold-Devouring Copper Ship-Slicing Blade, Dragon Cavalry Two-in-One Floating Cannon.]

[Comprehensive Assessment: Achieved a full-dimensional generational upgrade compared to the PX-4. When facing any enemy that has not mastered the Power of Laws, this unit has almost no weaknesses.]

“Good,” Allen nodded calmly.

He then walked out of Workshop No. 4 and into the three adjacent workshops. Three brand-new PX-5s towered on their respective assembly platforms, their silver-gray Silent Extinction Silver Armor reflecting the exact same cold light. Factory Servants were conducting final tests and adjustments, with the progress bars displaying 97%.

“Completion in three days.”

He turned and exited the workshop, pausing in the central corridor. He had walked this corridor countless times, but today, it felt entirely different.

To the left, a dead, silent aura permeated the depths of the hangar. Thanatos, that twenty-five-point-six-meter-tall Death God Golem, hovered quietly in the shadows. The green Soul Fire in the eye sockets of its skull flickered uncertainly, like two wisps of Ghost Fire floating in the darkness.

To the right, three PX-5 hangars were connected. The silver-gray steel Titans stood silently under the lights, their massive bodies casting large swathes of shadows on the ground.

Further down in the exclusive Puppet laboratory, the second-generation Artificial Human No. 18 was on standby. Beneath her delicate face, framed by blonde hair and icy blue eyes, was a Spiritual Remains Steel body capable of tearing through Dawn Star Level defenses.

Allen returned to the command room and brought up the overall combat power roster.

[Current Dawn Star Level Combat Power Roster—]

[1. Netherworld Guide Thanatos. Role: Soul-side attacks / Battlefield perception / Assassination. Equipped Laws: Soul + Decay (Dual Laws). Assessment: Mid-tier Dawn Star. Capable of one-on-one head-on confrontations with Dawn Star Level enemies; holds a massive advantage against targets without specialized soul defenses. Weakness: Weak physical defense; relies on the Soul Concealing Cloak to maintain a Shadow Travel state for immunity against physical attacks; consumes massive amounts of Curse Power during sustained high-intensity combat.]

[2. Artificial Human No. 18 (Second Generation). Role: Close-quarters Guard / Super Assassin. Assessment: Dawn Star Initial Stage hardware specs; combat power depends on tactical deployment. Her Spiritual Remains Steel body boasts an extreme hardness advantage in close-quarters combat, the High-Compression Magic Cannon provides long-range strike capabilities, and the composite AT Field offers reliable protection. Core Advantage: Humanoid size facilitates concealment and infiltration; during close-quarters brawls, most Casters—except constitution-specialized enemies like those from the Bloodline School—will find it difficult to parry her attacks. Core Flaw: Not yet equipped with Laws; lacks fundamental resistance against Law-level attacks. (Law Ascension plan pending execution.)]

[3. Peacekeeper PX-5 (Four units). Role: Frontal crushing / Heavy main battle. Assessment: Dawn Star Initial Stage to Mid-tier (fluctuates based on battlefield environment). The Silent Extinction Silver Forbidden Magic Field provides an overwhelming advantage against enemies who have not mastered Laws. The ‘Zero’ Main Cannon and Gold-Devouring Copper Ship-Slicing Blade deliver multi-dimensional, nation-destroying firepower. Mobility shortcomings have been resolved. When facing Dawn Star Level enemies who have mastered Laws, they must rely on their physical hardness and firepower advantages to force head-on collisions.]

[Comprehensive Assessment: The six Dawn Star Level Golems form a multi-dimensional, complementary lineup. Thanatos is responsible for soul-side perception, assassination, and harvesting; No. 18 is responsible for infiltration and close-quarters guard duty; three PX-5s are responsible for frontal firepower suppression and battlefield control. When facing a single Dawn Star Level enemy, this lineup possesses stable kill capabilities. When facing mid-tier Dawn Star enemies or above, or multiple Dawn Star Level enemies simultaneously, tactical coordination is still required.]

One dual-Law Death God, one super close-combat assassin, and four magic-forbidding heavy units.

Placing this lineup in front of any Dawn Star Level Wizard would be enough to make them seriously reevaluate their own strength.

Everything was quite good, except for his wallet. Allen glanced at his account balance.

[Current Account Balance: 262.9 million Low-Level Magic Stones.]

Just two months ago, he had 4.5 billion. After upgrading Xiong Da, this was all that remained. Truly, earning money was like pulling silk, while spending it was like a landslide.

The annual net profit of the G-771 Plane was just over 900 million. This meant it would take a full five years of the entire plane’s output to earn this money back. The Phase II project of the Divine Kingdom of Ten Thousand Machines would have to be temporarily shelved, and the expansion plan for the Floating Ship Merchant Team also had to be pushed back.

“No. 18’s Law Ascension plan should also be put on the agenda. Once the operation to hunt down those seven Black Wizards begins, the first suitable Law Crystal will be prioritized for her.”

[Command logged; all departments have been notified—]

Jarvis’s voice abruptly cut off as a higher-priority message forcibly overrode the system.

[Red Alert issued by the G-771 Plane monitoring network.]

Allen looked up.

[An abnormal spatial fluctuation was detected in the Seventh Administrative District of the plane one minute ago.]

[Fluctuation signature analysis indicates that this fluctuation highly matches the energy signature produced when a Dawn Star Level entity performs planar penetration.]

Inside the command room, all floating light screens simultaneously switched to a warning red.

Allen’s pupils abruptly contracted.

[Further analysis complete. The source of the spatial fluctuation has been locked; it is located within the plane!]

[Target confirmed as a Dawn Star Level Magic Power fluctuation. Quantity: One.]
