The dim sky seemed to be crying, and the land was as desolate as a desert. The light is distorted, the space seems to drift, and everything that makes up it seems illusory and unreal.

Then, in this illusory space, a violent wind rolled between heaven and earth! Countless sand and dust swirled with the dark air current, like the fury descending from above. Then, between the fierce winds, dark green shadows faintly peeked through, and the scaly body writhed and churned in the clouds, letting out a roar like a dragon.

A giant shadow shot out of the clouds, thunder and lightning all over it. It was a python, a giant python known as the "Serpent of the Atrium", and Odin's own brother, the god who might have sat on the throne of the god-king.

At the moment of its appearance, it seemed that heaven and earth could not bear the supreme coercion. The earth was crushed to the point of shattering, and the sky was about to crack at any moment. The python stared at everything with golden eyes that were almost spewing rays, as if to convey boundless rage.

Then the opponent it was wrestling with also appeared.

Thundered......

The moment the golden soles hit the ground, the sound almost overshadowed the thunder in the sky. It was the same size as the Great Snake...... No, even a body that is still excessive. It may be a hundred meters tall, and is all golden, made of some kind of shining special alloy. It stood in front of the serpent, like a silent metal giant, with an icy, suffocating killing intent.

The eyes of its helmet are a long "V" shaped goggles.

The serpent's golden gaze seemed to become more vicious the moment the enemy appeared, and it slowly opened its mouth and spat out the snake letter, spewing out a faint dark green mist-like gas from its mouth. The metal giant also slowly raised the palm of his right hand, and the shining palm lit up with a blue light. The boundless energy converges, like a volcano that has accumulated to the limit, ready to erupt at any time, and all that is missing is a gentle push.

The two sides are tense, and the energy level is constantly rising, and the space is constantly cracking. Everything became illusory, as if the whole world had been burned on flames, swaying in the rising heat.

The serpent opened its mouth, and its body shot out with electricity, and at the same time, it spat out a tide of green light from its mouth. The energy in the metal giant's palm also burst out, and an indescribably powerful beam of energy blasted out, surging straight towards the green wave.....

And then there was no then.

With a snap, the serpent disappeared, the giant disappeared, the heavens and the earth seemed to be evaporated in an instant, and everything returned to nothingness.

"Sir." Shirley's voice echoed through the darkness, "It's over." ”

Michael, who was sitting in a metal armchair, opened his eyes and reluctantly removed the headband device from his head.

"Collapsed again?"

"Yes, sir. But if that's a little more comforting, the system is holding out longer this time than before. At least 'Godslayer X' completed the recharge of the basic pulse weapon this time, and it didn't collapse until the energy release system collapsed......"

"Does it make a difference?" Michael stood up, turned around and walked over to the console to scan the readings he had just collected, "Should we still celebrate progress?" ”

"That depends on how you look at the problem, sir." Shirley said.

Yes, the Atrium Serpent Kuhl and the Black Knight's version of Godslayer X, everything that happened in just a few seconds was a data simulation.

This is a technology called "Framework", originally from S.H.I.E.L.D. Originally used in combat training, this technology can build realistic scenarios, input data from anyone or anything into it, and simulate it perfectly in virtual scenarios, even replicating the superpowers of the superpowers. It is difficult for a person who dives deep into the "frame" to realize that he or she is in a virtual scene, because everything he (or she) can perceive is no different from the real world.

In the fourth episode of the American drama "AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.", a blackened artificial intelligence even used this technology to create a whole world, which is enough to prove that this technology has great potential. In fact, it only needs to be supported by powerful enough hardware, and theoretically everything in reality can be simulated within the framework.

Simulating the snake of the atrium in the "frame", Kur, was tested by Michael before, and that is probably the upper limit of the power that the "frame" system can currently simulate. The strength of the big snake is strong and strong, but after all, it is not much stronger than a Heavenly Father level, so it can be regarded as a makeshift training object.

But when he entered the data of his modified "God Slayer X" into it, the result of each time was without exception - the "frame" would collapse directly.

After a spiritual connection with the godkiller left behind by the Rommulun, Michael was infused with a large amount of super technology in his mind. Although his brain was barely able to absorb some of it, the knowledge was also of great benefit to him, revealing him many new possibilities that he had never thought of before...... It's like seeing a whole new world on the other side of science.

Based on these technologies and some of his personal understandings – oh and of course, Shirley's indispensable help, a set of his personal DIY Godslayer designs was born. He managed to cut off many of the functional modules that he couldn't understand yet, compressed the power and power of the Godslayer, and reduced the size to 100 meters as much as possible (in fact, he personally preferred lighter armor, but the technology was limited).

The new Godslayer can't compare to the original, but according to Michael's calculations, it has the power to rival or even defeat a single Celestial group - all while excluding the wearer's individual strength and infinite Primordial power. It is important that this set of armor was designed entirely by Michael himself. Unlike the original, Michael knows every part and function of its body, he can understand how all the weapons of the armor work, and the whole weapon is completely controllable.

Michael doesn't like to use weapons that other people have left behind, and he doesn't like to fiddle with things he doesn't understand. In particular, the Godslayer must also operate through a spiritual link - God knows if the Rakmulon have made any holes left in this weapon for future generations to jump on?

Now that the design idea is complete, the final remaining step is to test the feasibility of Godslayer X before moving on to the build phase.

And that's where they got into the biggest trouble – there wasn't a system powerful enough to support a simulation of such power.

Michael paced back and forth in the lab, and Shirley stood obediently and watched, without making a sound.

"Are you sure that even if you remove Kuhl, nothing will change the results?" He asked.

"Pretty sure, sir, there's no need to test that." Shirley nodded, "The collapse of the 'frame' system is entirely due to the fact that it can't withstand the power of 'Godslayer X', and the opponent who deletes it won't be much better. ”

Michael stopped talking, just thought.

It looks like he needs a more powerful virtual system.
