I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 542 - 136: Gale Shadow Flow (4,200 Words)
He pointed at the metal box and explained, "This... can be considered her final masterpiece—Inscribed Element Composite Nanometal Armor."
"The button on the front of the box is the activation switch, give it a try."
Yun You nodded subconsciously, then placed the metal box in her palm, carefully observing it.
From a distance, there wasn't much feeling, but upon closer inspection, Yun You discovered that the surface of the small box flowed with tiny patterns, like petals wrinkled by the wind.
The box was very heavy, weighing at least several tons with high density, though it was not much of a burden for Yun You, who had arm strength exceeding a hundred tons.
The little girl rubbed the round button in the center of the box, and the button suddenly emitted a slight hum, as if sensing the warmth of Yun You's palm.
"Click—"
The index finger pressed lightly, and the lid of the metal box collapsed as if it were melting ice cream... Silver-purple liquid surged from the seams, spiraling up Yun You's wrist.
They were lighter than mercury, carrying a slight chill, and when they reached the elbow, they suddenly accelerated, splitting into countless tiny metal particles, forming a chain-like network in the air, then wrapping the entire right arm.
Yun You was startled and instinctively looked down, watching the liquid radiate from her chest. A slight vibration came from her shoulder blades, and the streamlined armor spread across her body, metal atoms passing through pores, connecting on a nanoscale to her motor neurons.
Soon, the little girl's entire body was enveloped in purple metal, forming a full-body armor, with the torso and leg armor resembling the standard armor of a space military.
Several arc-shaped metal plates expanded outward from the heart position. The edges of each piece were embedded with hair-thin blue-white light patterns, which pulsed like living beings, painting three-dimensional energy circuits on the light purple base color of the main armor.
The shoulder armor resembled two diagonally sliced crescent moons, with hexagonal scales densely covering the inclined cut surfaces. Each time an arm was raised, it would ripple with waves of liquid metal... The armor around the waist and abdomen was the thinnest, with a semi-transparent metal film faintly revealing an electric-blue flow, reminiscent of some deep-sea jellyfish.
But the most peculiar was the helmet, with its visor smooth as a mirror. Two arcs of deep purple goggles extended like a bird's wings to the temples, and the rest was cast in one piece of metal. Though it looked somewhat inflexible, it didn't hinder movement at all.
Whenever Yun You turned her neck, the armor at the back of her neck would open and close like gills, exposing the liquid metal energy core below and emitting a "hiss," releasing the heat of the mecha itself to prevent overheating.
Truth be told, Yun You was quite small in stature; in most standard armors, there couldn't be a fitting size for her.
Yet this set of liquid nano armor perfectly matched her petite figure, without a hint of excess, and most importantly, it did not appear awkward on Yun You. Instead, it had a heroic aura, especially when paired with the streamlined metal and the shimmering cape on the back, it looked quite beautiful.
"Inscribed Metal Master Identification Complete, Co-Ecological Transformation Complete."
A cold mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Yun You's ears without warning.
At the same time, Yun You also realized she could move freely.
[Inscribed Metal... Inscribed Metal...]
[So it's this kind of metal? Damn... Yun Zai, you've struck it rich!]
The long-silent Master Zero suddenly exclaimed, with a touch of incredulity in his tone.
"Inscribed Metal..."
Yun You scratched her head.
She had never heard of this metal material, and the Information Reconnaissance Chip's database held little relevant information.
[What they call Inscribed Metal isn't actually a metal material that exists in reality; it's a fantastical metal found only in the Death Domain]
[This metal possesses the characteristics of Death Domain creatures, being an inanimate object that can move like a living thing and symbiotically coexist with humans or other beings, achieving a unique "co-ecology," providing power to the host and acquiring some of the host's power traits]
[For example]
Master Zero patiently explained...
[If Tian En acquired the Inscribed Metal, then the Inscribed Metal could gain part of the "Blood Scale Rose Court's" abilities, like summoning vines and such...]
[And if it were Jiang Wuji, the toughness of the Inscribed Metal would greatly increase, gaining effects such as rapid reorganization and summoning mechanical trees]
[In other words, the strength of the Inscribed Metal basically depends on the user. The stronger the user, the more powerful this unique metal becomes, and it's one of the few specialized metals that can't be graded]
[Moreover, Inscribed Metal has another characteristic—recognition. The first person to officially possess it will be deemed its life-death partner. Even if enemies capture it later, it will inherit the partner's will, design to kill the enemies or self-destruct]
[From a certain perspective, Inscribed Metal is more reliable than most mercenary partners]
[Due to these characteristics, Inscribed Metal is extremely expensive, with a gram fetching tens of thousands of Yabi, making it a hundred times more expensive than gold, and often in short supply]
[As such, some bold adventurers actively seek out the Death Domain to steal Inscribed Metal... however, their success rate is almost abysmally low, and most adventurers end up reaping not metal, but death]
[Because of this, Inscribed Metal remains one of the world's most expensive metallic materials, with some wealthy Apprentice Death Gods and Mercenaries spending their life savings just to obtain a piece of Inscribed Metal, though due to a lack of materials, they mostly forge short weapons or shields with it]
[The armor you're wearing now, if placed at an auction, would be a priceless treasure, its value impossible to measure with mere money]
[Tsk tsk... your teacher and that late senior sister were truly remarkable, to gather tons of Inscribed Metal and even forge it into a mecha]
[It's truly a divine skill!]
Listening to Master Zero's unabashed praise, Yun You couldn't help but feel a bit more intrigued.
She closed her eyes, feeling the changes in her body.
Though this armor was an external object, Yun You felt everything about the armor's surface could be controlled just like her limbs, freely manipulating the form of the armor.
The nanometals on her hands, she could transform them into a blade one moment and a hand cannon the next, even turning them into thrusters.
In her hands, the Inscribed Metal was like her skin and muscles, controllable at will.
"Speaking of... how do I activate the armor's system?"
Yun You thought silently.
The next moment, a mechanical prompt sounded again.
"System activation complete, data panel loading..."
Yun You wasn't sure if it was her illusion, but she sensed this mechanical voice was a bit more human-like than the previous cold and emotionless prompt.
A moment later, a light blue data panel unfolded on the visor of Yun You's helmet.
[Data calculation complete]
[Mecha Code: Gale Shadow Flow]
[Mecha User: Yun You (Tier Two Peak Apprentice Death God)]
[Mecha Current Strength: D10 Level Hardness, D12 Level Flexibility]
[Mecha Current Rated Level: Quasi-Military Prosthetic Body]
[Below are the special effects from Co-Ecology]
[1. Flowing Light Transformation Power: The rare Death Domain Metal Ming Alloy possesses methods to neutralize force, able to absorb and dissolve enemy attacks through energy deflection, currently capable of neutralizing pure force strikes below 1000 tons. If the enemy's force reaches over 1000 tons, it will neutralize 50%, over 5000 it dissolves 30%. Higher grade abilities cannot be absorbed]
[2. Blood Devouring: By sharing some of the user's own abilities, the Inscribed Metal has gained a bloody repair function, capable of continuously repairing the mecha by absorbing enemy blood splatter... or absorbing the user's own blood during battle. However, please note, this absorption has a limit, beyond which it cannot continue to absorb]
[3. Flowing Light Amplification: When the mecha is fully activated, it can greatly enhance the user's physique, speed, strength, and spiritual power attributes, boost the user's move power, and also isolate most toxins, radiation, and other hazards, while alleviating user mental pressure]
[Please also note, full activation will greatly consume the energy within the mecha, breaking the self-circulation state. Theoretically, full activation can only be maintained for 30 seconds. Once energy is exhausted, the mecha's effectiveness will also be affected, please use caution]
[Current energy storage: 99.6%]
