Twenty years ago, the Harlet Wastelands was still a wasteland in name only. Apart from barbarians draped in animal skins, there were also all sorts of vicious beasts.
Five years ago, the seeds of civilization had already sprouted in this place. Although there were only a few paths, there were airships roaming the clouds and caravans patrolling the ground on a regular basis. Although the farming and semi-nomadic societies here weren't that advanced, they were at least much better than primitive societies.
In that era, although the civilization and advanced gadgets brought by the outsiders weren't few in number, it was still mainly based on the society and culture of the natives and the Seymour people. The whole world was a mixture of the old and the new, giving off a very peculiar feeling.
Just as I mentioned earlier, the carriages, beasts, and floating airships all took the same route. Magical staffs that could be activated were placed in the same container as stone axes, javelins, and blowdarts. Barbarians roared as they rushed towards the heavily armored mechas and magic armors … Although this scene was indeed beautiful to the point of being unbearable to look at, anything could happen in this transition period where multiple cultures were clashing.
Time always passed by quietly. Antiques could be placed in museums for nostalgia, but there were some things that would never return.
"The first wave of attack will begin in 30 seconds. Target: Evil God Statue. Equipment: T87, T03. Mission: Suppression. Assault team understood."
In the modern Aishi military, the number of floating airships wasn't actually that high. Technological civilizations easily walked the path of large airships and heavy cannons because they believed that the physical body was nothing in front of steel machines.
In magical civilizations, individual strength was the foundation. Most airships were used for their primary purpose — transportation.
* Whoosh! *
A red signal flare blossomed in the air. Multiple forks flashed as special phosphorescent powder was ignited. The flare shone brightly even in the artificial day.
The floating airship didn't approach the theme park. The maximum range of the Evil God Statue's attack was still unknown.
Multiple openings opened up on its glossy lower cabin.
"Activating anti-earthquake mode. Airdrop will begin in 5 seconds. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Mission begins."
32 small airdrop cabins transformed into 32 shooting stars and whizzed through the sky, heading straight for the Evil God Statue.
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
After several beams of light passed through the air, a series of explosions followed. The Evil God Statue's attack range was even further than expected. There was also no time to dodge its strange attack.
"Report damage."
Standing below the platform, Rorschach carried out his duties as the temporary commander.
"No.1, everything is in progress."
"Same goes for No. 2."
"Number 3 OK."
"No. 4 is fine. Don't worry, Boss Luo. Only 4 of the 32 are occupied, and it only took down 3 in the first wave. No one has such bad luck … Ahhhhhh!"
The first wave of laser attack was just a prediction, but the second wave had already arrived. Judging from the scream of pilot number four, it was better not to say anything on the battlefield.
"Damn it!"
However, Rorschach did not have the time to check on the injured. If he did not do anything, the third wave of attacks would arrive very soon.
"Distort."
Following Rorschach's will, his entire body suddenly soared into the air. Beneath his feet, a huge monster suddenly rose from the ground.
The disc-shaped body was the chassis of the spinning roller coaster. The three-section staff in the steel giant's hand was the body of the roller coaster that was linked together.
During the incident two years ago, Rorschach had coincidentally entered a very strange job class. His method of displaying his power was also quite unique.
Creating and constructing war machines was a suspicious job class similar to Elemental Manipulators but closer to Forgers.
While waiting for reinforcements, Roland had connected several steel amusement rides together. With a single command, he would be able to transform into a steel giant.
At this moment, the steel giant successfully ambushed Roland. It was less than 100 meters away from its target, so the Evil God Statue could only focus its firepower on itself.
[This is the newest roller coaster model! Such heavy losses … Damned evil cultist! Rorschach, don't you have any other way of fighting that's more economical?]
Roland didn't directly use the roller coaster model for an ambush because he was worried that the success rate would be too low if the Evil God Statue was on guard. More importantly, he was worried about the financial losses.
It was the New Gods' duty to deal with the Evil Gods. However, the cost of doing so was their own hard-earned money. While the steel machine that Rorschach had created could be used in battle, it would be impossible for it to be restored after the battle.
Roland had already lost several hundred thousand Divine Tributes before the battle had even officially begun. Not only was Lori complaining about this, even Rorschach's heart was bleeding.
However, Rorschach did complain about Lori not having any other way of fighting …
"You wouldn't expect me to use a kitchen knife to cut down such a large enemy, would you? In that case, I can only use natural calamity magic."
[…]
Lori fell silent.
If using Rorschach's Legend job class to create a steel giant for battle would be a loss, then using the Book of God Equipment's natural calamity magic would be the equivalent of tearing down a house and moving it away, with no compensation whatsoever.
"Damned evil cultist. What a huge loss."
[Honestly, why did they have to target us?]
While complaining, the battle didn't stop for even a moment.
Not far away, an airstrike attracted the Evil God statue's attention and firepower. The steel giant paid a heavy price for its ambush, and its ambush was quite successful. After paying the price of having parts of its body melted and shattered, the two gigantic creatures fiercely clashed against each other.
Steel constructs had no soul, so they were naturally immune to most mental attacks. Their large and painless limbs were the best form of defense. Rorschach directly replaced the damaged parts with other constructs … and two more electric poles were destroyed in the middle of the battle.
The Evil God statue was too close to the steel giant, so it instinctively focused all of its attention on the opponent in front of it. The steel giant's face and limbs were repeatedly pierced through, but it still showed no signs of stopping.
However, these two high-level giants' battle methods were incredibly foolish and crude.
One giant kept shooting various "tiny" rays of light at its opponent, while the other giant could only use its fist and a "three-section staff" to beat its opponent to death.
The core teachings of the Eye of Wisdom were related to the soul. The most dangerous part of the Eye of Wisdom was also the various mental attacks. However, the steel giant ignored most of the mental attacks. As for the steel giant's powerful physical attacks … well, the slim-type constructs had many weaknesses, but their only advantage was that they were completely immune to physical attacks.
To put it bluntly, the slim-type construct's body would remain a pile of slim-type constructs no matter how many times it was hit.
However, the Evil God statue didn't have much intelligence and only acted on instinct. Rorschach had already succeeded in achieving his goal.
* Boom! *
There was a series of explosions as the airdrop pods that had successfully landed instantly exploded.
