Chapter 265: I knew that I would have been the king of the demon time
Later, Zheng Shu and Hephaestus conducted a series of tests on the battle armor, and they were quite satisfied with the results.
In general, at this stage, there is no upper limit for the transformation of the Warframe for rule-based attacks, and no matter how hard Hephaestus tries, Zheng Shu will only be affected by the energy impact after being transformed.
Based on Hephaestus' position in ancient Greek mythology, it is almost certain that at least in the area ruled by the Olympian gods, there should be no enemy who can break through the limit of this armor's absorption of regular attacks.
As for the god-level curse, it can be easily blocked for this battle armor, and in many cases, Zheng Shu doesn't even feel that he has been affected.
After all, in essence, the curses issued by the gods, like the blessings, rely more on the prying of the law to take effect.
If an ordinary magic curse is an identification of a creature's ability to "magic", then a divine curse is essentially a skill that evaluates the "divinity" of a living being.
Unless they have enough divinity, no matter how powerful a hero is, they can't resist the curse of the gods, but the actual power consumed by the gods when they release the curse is not too strong.
In other words, with this set of battle armor, Zheng Shu can basically be sure that he has completely gotten rid of the most troublesome curse of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, after all, in myths and legends, there are countless heroes who have fallen into the street because of the curse of the gods.
Zheng Shu was also very satisfied with this result, although this armor could only buffer ordinary physical attacks and magic attacks, and could not cancel them out. But after strengthening the reinforcement template of Nemea's lion, Zheng Shu has long had an otherworldly resistance to this ordinary attack, anyway, even if it only strengthens less than half of the lion's defense level, he still hasn't found an attack that can break through his defense.
In a sense, this armor helped Zheng Shu make up for his last shortcomings.
"But...... Why does it feel like I've forgotten something? Zheng Shu touched his chin and frowned.
The moment the armor was finished, he felt as if his mind had cleared up, as if someone who had been asleep had suddenly had his forehead lit with wind oil.
Combined with the function of his battle armor, Zheng Shu speculated that he had been cursed or interfered with by a god-level existence without his knowledge.
But......
"There are no special memories in my mind, and there are no obvious changes in my body...... What am I being affected by? Zheng Shu's face was a little ugly.
This is also the most troublesome thing in this kind of world with gods, and you never know under what circumstances you will be cursed by unpleasant gods.
Fortunately, with this armor, Zheng Shu has a strong ability to resist when facing such a situation.
"It's almost time for the test, and it's time for you to choose the Warframe's Restrained Form." Hephaestus' voice pulled Zheng Shu back from his thoughts.
"Closing form?" Zheng Shu subconsciously repeated.
Hephaestus nodded: "Yes, it's like a shield or something, after all, you can't wear this armor all day, the restrained form is a more suitable form for the armor to carry in a non-combat state." Although the protection power of the Warframe will decrease in the Restrained Form, it will still maintain the basic effect. ”
"Oh?!" Zheng Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then how small can the minimum be if you close the form?" ”
"Well...... Hephaestus calculated a little in his mind, "because you use a lot of god metal in this armor, the size of the restrained form is not too small, at least you don't have to think about the bracers or necklaces...... At the very least, it should be the size of a small round shield or two boots. ”
Hephaestus stretched out his hand and gestured to Zheng Shu: "I personally recommend that you use boots, so that you can wear them almost all day." ”
"You can't choose to be too small......" Zheng Shu was a little disappointed for a moment, so he couldn't learn the summoning method of this armor prototype comic.
However, after seeing the size of Hephaestus's gesture, Zheng Shu's eyes suddenly lit up again: "What about the belt?" Can you make a belt out of a bunched form? ”
"Belt?" Hephaestus frowned and thought for a moment, "It's not impossible, but with the size of your god weapon, the size of the belt will become a little bloated, although it won't affect your normal activities, but it shouldn't look too good......"
"No problem!" Zheng Shu gave Hephaestus a thumbs up and showed a healthy smile with eight teeth, "The bloated belt is also a feature in a sense!" Can I design the image of the belt myself? ”
"That's fine...... Hephaestus nodded inexplicably, "You actually like to use belts, your aesthetic is a bit strange......"
"Huh? Shouldn't all gods have the special ability of future vision or clairvoyance? If you've read the information on the future of this world, you should be able to understand what I'm trying to say, right? Zheng Shu was a little strange.
"What you said is not accurate, I do have the ability of clairvoyance, but the effect of each person's clairvoyance will change according to the individual's situation." Hephaestus shook his head and pointed to his eyes, "Like my clairvoyance, because the body and material analysis detectors are fused, so they focus more on the detailed analysis of the existing situation, especially useful when checking for damage to equipment or making new equipment, but it does not provide information for the future." ”
"Well, that way, it might be a little difficult to describe the image of the belt I want." Zheng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose and began to think about how to accurately convey the image of the belt he wanted.
……
……
As the space fluctuated like water waves, a figure appeared in the cave out of thin air.
The figure looked unusually tall, more than two and a half meters tall, and the originally tall karst cave looked extremely short in front of him, and in some places he could only bend down to pass through.
In addition, the most conspicuous thing is probably the heavy belt on the waist of the figure, obviously the body is still wrapped in animal skin, but the belt on the waist looks very technological.
Although the belt looks heavy and the shape is a little strange, it looks subtle and harmonious with the tall body of the figure.
This person was none other than Zheng Shu, who had just come out of the temple of Hephaestus.
"Come out...... Zheng Shu touched the sunlight outside with his hand slightly, and climbed out of the hole to look at the surrounding scene.
Looking around, Zheng Shu's expression suddenly became a little weird: "Not quite right, why are the surrounding plants changing so much, and even the seasons are different, how long have I been in the temple?" ”
"If it's based on the time of the humans outside, you've been in the temple for a year and a half." Hephaestus's voice came from Zheng Shu's ears.
Although he had left the temple in space, he had not yet left the scope of the temple's divine power, so the two of them were still able to continue talking.
"A year and a half?! Did I spend that long? Zheng Shu was a little stunned.
He looked at the tree next to him, and from what he could remember, it was supposed to be a thin sapling before he entered the temple, but now it was growing well. According to the growth posture of this sapling, Zheng Shu also had to admit that it was indeed possible that he had really spent so much time in the temple.
"Oh no, all of a sudden so much time has passed, I don't know what round of trials Hercules has now taken now. If the Twelve Trials hadn't been completed, it would have been done if they had been completed or even boarded the Agor. Zheng Shu's heart suddenly felt a little anxious.
He hadn't expected it to take so long to make his own god armament, and now he could only hope that Hercules hadn't boarded the Agor yet.
Otherwise, not to mention how difficult it is to find a ship on the vast sea, if Zheng Shu is not mistaken, the war between the gods and the giants of Gagandes started when Hercules was still on the Agor.
Just when Zheng Shu was distressed, he suddenly turned his head to look in one direction: "What person?!" ”
With his angry shouts, a tree bush that had seemed quiet in the distance suddenly shook. After a while, a young man with his pants and an embarrassed face walked out of the bushes under Zheng Shu's gaze, and behind him, a woman with a flushed face followed.
Both of them looked very disheveled, and they should have been disturbed by Zheng Shu on the way to the "big war".
"Uh......" Zheng Shu's eyes suddenly became strange.
He didn't react because he had just left the temple, but he understood after seeing the clothes and facial expressions of the two people.
"You...... Are you Al? Zheng Shu was still a little embarrassed, but after carefully looking at the young man's face, he suddenly asked in surprise.
"Ah, yes! It's me, you're Lord Zheng Shu, right, I didn't expect to see you again after so long. Al also looked a little surprised, but Zheng Shu's body shape and face were too discerning for him, so he recognized it at once.
It's no wonder that Zheng Shu was surprised, mainly in his impression, this little guy named Al should have been less than one meter five tall, but now standing in front of Zheng Shu was a warrior with a height of one meter eight, resolute eyes, strong body, and a scruffy beard.
"Shhh...... Master Hephaestus, are you sure I've only been gone for a year and a half? Zheng Shu was a little incredulous. If it weren't for the fact that he still remembered Al's breath, he wouldn't even dare to recognize the other party.
"Hmm...... There should be no mistake in the timing, it seems that it should be because the body is already an adult, so the divine bloodline in this little guy's body is starting to play a role. Hephaestus' indifferent voice reached Zheng Shu's ears.
"It's only been a year since this horse?! No...... Even with the influence of the blood of the gods, such a change is too amazing, can a creature like a human really change in a year and a half?! ”
"What do you say?"
Obviously, he only heard the voice, but Zheng Shu inexplicably felt that Master Hephaestus should be squinting at himself.
Recalling his remarks when he lied to Hercules before, Zheng Shu's face couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment.
"Ahem, but I didn't expect this kid to do this kind of thing in broad daylight, do the people in their village play so much?" Zheng Shu coughed awkwardly twice in his mind and changed the subject.
"No, although this kid's village is more barbaric, it can be regarded as simple, but this guy is more wild." Hephaestus' voice sounded a little helpless, too.
Glancing at Al who had already come to him, Zheng Shu touched the package behind him, which was already much smaller, took out the weapons he gave him and the metal plate that Hephaestus wrote to El and handed it over: "Here, this is what you entrusted me before, although it is a little late, but I hope it can be useful to you." ”
Al took the metal plate from Zheng Shu's hand tremblingly in disbelief, and carefully looked at the words engraved on it.
To be honest, Zheng Shu hadn't reappeared for so long since he entered the temple, and Al even thought that the other party had left here when he didn't know it, so after being disappointed, he never had any expectations for this matter.
The reason why I come here regularly in the future is purely because I come here for habit.
Unexpectedly, just today, he not only met the hero who he thought had left, but the other party really took his weapon to ask the gods.
"Thank you...... Thank you! Because he was too excited, Al's voice even trembled a little, "I'm sorry! It was my fault that I had doubted your character before, and you deserve to be a benevolent demon king! ”
"Wait a minute!" Zheng Shu originally squinted his eyes, intending to listen to Al's praise, but suddenly found that he had heard something terrible, which frightened him to open his eyes wide.
"Explain to me, what does that title mean?"
"Huh?" Al was stunned for a moment by Zheng Shu's sudden change of attitude, but quickly reacted.
"Well, in recent times, the village that you saved and believed in Lord Hades has spread your story far and wide. In the process, others discovered that the number of villages you have rescued is far beyond people's imagination, and there are more than 20 villages just now known.
And you don't take any of them in each village, and although there are different arguments about the gods you believe in, your qualities have been recognized by the surrounding city-states, and your reputation has even surpassed that of Hercules, the most famous hero of recent times.
In short, because you are so famous, some people want to give you a nickname, and the most popular one is naturally the nickname that came from the village that believed in Lord Hades: 'The Merciful Demon King'. ”
"I'm starting to feel a headache." Zheng Shu felt his temples start to ache suddenly.
He felt careless, but he didn't expect that the biggest danger of staying in the temple for so long was not about Hercules' situation or Tagandes, but about his previous title of middle two.
Alas, sighs, wants to speak and stop, stop talking and want.
Under Al's gaze, Zheng Shu's face kept changing, and finally he finally seemed to understand something, and finally let out a long sigh: "The loss of the horse, I knew that I used the shape of the king of time when designing the belt at that time!" ”
Now that the wood is in the boat, it is better to accept it than to choose pain.
I knew that I would be a little more neutral, so I directly chose to change the belt of the battle armor to the appearance of the king of time, and then find someone who specifically celebrates in the battle, so that when I fight against people in the future, just by summoning the battle armor, I can rely on the strength of the middle two to suppress the opponent's momentum.
"Huh?" Al tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what the hero was talking about.
"Nothing, by the way, you mentioned Hercules, what is he doing now?" Zheng Shu directly interrupted Al's association and asked about business.
"Hero Hercules...... Because the news in our village is relatively backward, we can only know that he has just completed his tenth trial last month. Al scratched his head, "Mr. Zheng Shu, do you know Heracross?" ”
"You said that guy......" A strange smile appeared on Zheng Shu's face, "I should be very familiar with it." ”
(I did the math that day, and suddenly I realized that I seemed to have added more this month.) Forget it, you can write a little more! )
