Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 528 - 496: Godslayer’s Will_2

The best way to resolve high-end combat strength is to use similarly leveled high-end combat strength.

And this is precisely Perfikot’s original intention in developing the Godslaying Armor.

So when the Godslaying Armor finally appeared before everyone, although it indeed followed Perfikot’s design thinking more, its combat mode and weapon configuration leaned more towards traditional magic combat and melee fighting.

For this reason, it’s understandable why the Godslaying Armor was designed in human form.

For humans, all combat techniques are developed based on the human body’s structure, so making mecha in human form can better utilize combat techniques.

However, these considerations were irrelevant to the guests present who saw the Godslaying Armor, as for them, this towering metallic beast of over ten meters was as awe-inspiring as the Titan Giant, causing an invincible chill from the depths of their hearts.

Some guests standing nearby even instinctively backed away, fearing that they might accidentally be crushed by this colossal metallic giant.

Even though they knew it was impossible, it did not stop them from feeling fear and dread physiologically.

"This world, is there anything that can stop such a massive metal creation?" one guest exclaimed, with images in their mind of this metallic beast effortlessly tearing apart a castle or conquering a fortress.

To such a colossal entity, all the defensive structures humans have built in the past are like toys.

As for the army? Despite many seasoned military leaders present, none believed any army could resist or destroy the metallic beast before them.

"Countess Brandelis, may I ask what your intention was in developing this... Godslaying Armor? If it’s to dominate the world..." Someone blurted out without thinking, yet surprisingly, no one stopped them.

After all, the shock the Godslaying Armor brought was so great that everyone was pondering the same question: what is the Victor Empire’s intention, or perhaps, what is Perfikot’s goal?

At this point, Perfikot is treated as a separate entity, not merely a count of the Victor Empire.

Because the Godslaying Armor is enough to give Perfikot the confidence and strength to conquer the entire world, this thing is not something that mortal power can resist!

Meanwhile, King Ryder looked at the Godslaying Armor and recalled Perfikot’s request for powerful magic artifacts, and even had an absurd suspicion that perhaps these ancient magic artifacts could still injure the Godslaying Armor, and Perfikot was using this method to undermine the nations’ ability to counter it.

But soon, King Ryder dismissed this idea because it made no sense.

While nations might possess powerful magic artifacts capable of injuring the Godslaying Armor, the issue is that such powerful artifacts are undoubtedly scarce. Having one or two as national treasures is already remarkable; having more is impossible.

Under such circumstances, Perfikot could simply use ordinary Steam Knights along with the Godslaying Armor, forcing the opposition into a dilemma.

Choose the Godslaying Armor, and ordinary Steam Knights can still flatten your country.

And if you choose ordinary Steam Knights, what will you use to fend off a ten-meter-high iron colossus?

Do you really think you can summon the mythological Giant Divine Soldier or Titan Giant?

So what exactly is Perfikot aiming for? The steam knight armor she created is already enough to place the Victor and herself in an invincible position; conquering the world isn’t off the table. The Godslaying Armor is complete overkill, leaving people to wonder what kind of target necessitates such an enormous weapon.

As for the Godslaying Armor being a fake, just a shell?

Probably no one dares to bet on that possibility, because Perfikot indeed has the capability to build the Godslaying Armor!

These days, guests arriving in New Shack have seen large engineering robots participating in the construction of shelters and the Energy Tower in the city.

The size of those robots is not smaller than the Godslaying Armor, and their existence clearly proves Perfikot’s ability to build such large mechanical bodies and to really make them move.

So no one doubts the authenticity of the Godslaying Armor before them; at most, they speculate whether it takes three minutes or five to demolish a castle.

However, Perfikot provided no explanation for this curiosity. She merely used the Flying Stone hidden on her to fly to the shoulder of the Godslaying Armor, standing there to overlook all the guests, and then spoke in an ethereal voice: "I will provide all countries in need with the necessary Energy Towers, shelters, and other related technical data to survive this apocalyptic disaster, but it is not given freely. I need those powerful magic artifacts or alchemical creations, or ancient and mythological era-related data.

As for the Godslaying Armor, it was not developed against you; my purpose in developing it has already been mentioned, it is prepared for the slaying of divine beings."

After speaking, Perfikot jumped down from the Godslaying Armor.

Jumping from over ten meters high caused the hem of the heavily bejeweled skirt she was wearing to flare up high, under the lights resembling a resplendent flag.

——————————————

After the Godslaying Armor’s debut, clearly, all guests lost interest in discussing any other topics; the focus at the banquet was entirely on the Godslaying Armor, which surpassed everyone’s imaginations.

People were estimating how powerful this armor might be, and many speculations were made regarding Perfikot’s purpose in developing it.

But these were not important to Perfikot herself; she was currently discussing with Empress Victory and several key ministers of the Empire on how to handle the Evil God Sect.

Immediately after the Godslaying Armor’s debut, the Empress demanded the Imperial Center meeting be convened, gathering important ministers of the Victor Empire to discuss the Godslaying Armor issue.

"Countess Brandelis, is this the reason you suddenly left Langton previously? Developing the Godslaying Armor to counter the potential godly descent by the Evil God Sect?" As Perfikot didn’t hide her initiatives while in Langton, although critical information was not public, it was known by the Empire Center’s key ministers.

Facing this question, Perfikot nodded straightforwardly: "Yes, it’s the Godslayer blade I forged to combat the divine beings. Its imagined enemies are those potential ancient divine beings that could be summoned!"

At this point, Perfikot glanced around and said after looking at everyone: "Of course, if you are really wary of the Godslaying Armor, I can use other means to confront those ancient divine beings, but correspondingly...

You can choose to blanket the entire city with heavy artillery, or use more powerful Thermobaric Bombs, so pick whichever you prefer."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed, clearly understanding the implication behind Perfikot’s words.

To counter ancient divine beings, either use high-impact combat units like the Godslaying Armor, or sacrifice the cost of a city’s destruction and human lives to pile up.

After all, whether with heavy artillery bombardment or stronger Thermobaric Bombs, ancient divine beings won’t compliantly endure bombardment, only use human lives to stall before heavy firepower can proceed.

Comparatively, using the Godslaying Armor seems the relatively lowest cost approach.

"Can just one Godslaying Armor actually contend with divine beings?" someone asked this critical soul-searching question.
