Chapter 553: The Godslayer Project
"Welcome back, Mr. Paso." Shirley's voice rang out the moment Michael walked into the lab, "Your journey to the universe seems to have been quite rewarding. ”
"Aren't you with us the whole time?"
"Yes, sir, but now I'm welcoming on behalf of this lab." Shirley said playfully.
"Thank you very much." Michael walked into the lab and said, "Help, build me a new project, we've got a lot to do." ”
Shirley chuckled, "Of course it's fine, sir." But as soon as you come back, you go straight to work, and I think Sister Wanda may have an opinion. ”
Wanda had been listening quietly in the back, and when she heard her name appear, she hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I have no opinion......" She thought about it, and felt that she seemed a little redundant here, "...... Okay, then I'll go back first. I'm going to have to say hi to Pietro or something......"
"Come later, you can stay and have dinner before leaving." Michael paused, "Actually, I'm insisting that you stay." ”
"Oh." Wanda nodded. Counts as a promise.
"Alright, let's move on." Michael turned back to the workbench, "Ready to work space. ”
"Let me guess, sir...... 'Godslayer'?"
"Clever girl. Yes, we're going to build a 'Godslayer' project. ”
Wanda followed behind, listening with a faint sense of doubt. She knew that the big man of the "God Slayer" was still thrown on the Dyson ball of the Rommulon people, and they had not brought it back at all. And the VOLDI core has also been returned, and the godkillers who have lost their core are logically unable to move.
So what is this "Godslayer" project going to do?
Wanda thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "That 'God Slayer'...... Did you bring it back? ”
“...... Sort of. ”
Michael raised his hand and lightly drew a circle in the air, flying sparks slicing through the flame-colored portal.
"You can come and see." "But you'd better bring your own oxygen," he said. ”
Wanda understood. The two of them each wrapped their bodies in chaos magic, and the crimson transparent light completely sealed their bodies. They passed through the portal and came to the outer space on the other side.
What caught my eye was a desolate, fiery red land, and everywhere was burned red. The sky was also red, and there was no life in the vast area around it.
The Godslayer, the big golden creature they had met on the man-made Dyson Sphere, was now standing quietly under the blood-red sky, as if asleep. The two of them stood at its feet like two ants facing an elephant, and the limit of their eyesight was only the thighs of the godslayer.
“...... Wow. Wanda felt like she couldn't find any other words to describe her mood, "You really got it back...... Wait, where was this place before that? ”
"Mars." Michael said lightly, "It's a lot closer to the earth, and the development work will be much easier." I'm planning to build a lab here next, dedicated to the development of the Godslayer. ”
"But the VOLDI core has been returned, isn't it?" Wanda asked, "Didn't you say that this thing can't move without a core?" How did you get it from so far away...... Oh. ”
Before she could finish speaking, something came to her mind.
She found herself a funny question. She remembered that Michael was holding the space primordial stone in his hand, let alone getting this thing to Mars, even if he dragged the godkiller to the whole universe for a ride.
But even if the teleportation ability of the Spatial Primordial Stone can move the Godslayer, it still can't move itself, right?
Wanda raised this doubt. Michael replied, "The function of the VELDI core within the Godslayer is primarily an energy source. Since it is difficult to find an energy source of comparable power in the whole universe, it is the best choice for the godslayer. As for its ability to control mechs, it can be programmed to be rewritten. As long as there are other power sources that are equal to, or even more powerful than, VERDI's core abilities, we can also reprogram the Godslayer's energy system to allow the armor to take commands again. ”
Wanda looked up at the big guy and couldn't help but feel complicated.
To be honest, she was faintly relieved when they left the Godslayer where it was found. In every sense of the word, she didn't really want to see this dangerous weapon brought back to her world. One is because after seeing the fate of the Romuluns, she can't help but wonder if the godkiller will bring the same end to the earth. The second reason was that if there really was someone who had to drive the Godslayer, she knew that it would definitely be the one she cared about the most......
"A powerful enough energy source...... Does it mean Infinite Primordial? She asked softly.
Michael nodded: "That's what I envisioned. However, the Primordial Stone is not just a source of energy, each Primordial has very special properties, and there may be a long way to go before the Stone and the Godslayer's system can adapt to each other.
Originally, the Godslayer is a super technology that we can't understand at the moment, and as for the Infinite Primordial Stone, it is an artifact that grasps the rules of the universe, even I dare not say how thoroughly I understand it. It would have taken hundreds of years or more to figure out how to do it with our current state of technology, but thanks to some of the incredible technology that the Godslayer showed me when we were connected to the nerves...... Some possibilities that have never even been considered, now I am sure that I will be able to find the right solution in a short period of time. ”
"Then we'll have a set of 'Godslayer' armor with Infinity Primordial Stones, and that's great."
Although Wanda said this, her tone and expression couldn't show the slightest hint of "wonderful".
"What's wrong?" Michael asked.
"Nothing. It's just ......" she hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the sleeping giant, "...... I just feel a little lost. I mean, this thing ended the age of the gods on its own, and we're going to put infinite primordial stones on it? Should this power really exist in the world? Or rather......" she glanced at Michael, "...... They say that power can subtly change a person. So what does having such supreme power make people like? ”
Michael understood what she was worried about. He chuckled softly and reached out to touch her head.
"That's not a problem. Power corrupts', which may be true to some extent, but that's mostly just an excuse for losers to make for themselves. Just as a firearm does make it easy to kill a person, it doesn't directly justify the killing.
The same is true of power, which can make people swelling and uninhibited, making people more prone to making mistakes, but in the end it is the person who holds the power itself who decides what to do.
Besides, I never said I was going to sit right in the cockpit and start the armor. ”
"Huh?" Wanda was stunned for a moment.
"It's not my style to use other people's stuff directly. There are too many uncertainties for me to pin my hopes on a weapon I don't even know about—no matter how much more powerful it is. Michael said lightly.
Wanda subconsciously asked: "What is the project of the 'God Killer'......?"
Michael looked at her seriously and said word by word, "...... That's when I was going to build a new one myself. ”
