Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

The capital of the goblins, Haddonfell.

Although this place was simply the hometown of goblins at first, in the past two years of development, it has replaced its original meaning as a capital of scholars containing the most cutting-edge magical technology.

In order to facilitate the mixing of various ethnic groups, the iron-gray style has gradually been replaced by more new and brightly colored buildings as time has passed.

In the natural park with the largest number of students of different races, Rick was walking in a beautiful park with an old friend.

"Rick, you are indeed a genius!"

As a representative of the goblin species and a master of magical technology, Ronnie's status now plays a very important role. Whether it is used for research or handling government affairs, every second is very precious.

But in his opinion, the importance of talking to Rick in front of him was obviously higher than anything else.

Even putting aside the other person's identity as a representative of the human race and the comrades-in-arms that year, in past contacts, Ronnie understood that Rick was a genius who transcended racial restrictions and was no less than his own.

"Inserting magic technology directly into the body and even replacing certain organs not only allows the goblins to get rid of the disadvantage of losing the ability to cast spells without spiritual equipment, but also has many more excellent functions. The most important thing is that it The threshold has been lowered a lot, and even other races can gain stronger power through such transformation!"

Although there are almost no crimes that can be committed in this world due to invisible rules, as a remnant of the war period, the development of magic and the war-like application of magic technology are still preserved.

And with the tacit approval of a certain unique god, this type of research is also a hot trend today.

It is not difficult to understand why Ronnie would be so happy after completing such a feat so smoothly.

"……as long as you are happy"

But in the face of this kind of compliment, Rick could only respond with a smile.

It was so pitiful that he originally proposed this idea just to help his companions who were inconvenienced during the war. Unexpectedly, the goblin race got out of hand in this regard because of its own characteristics that could be regarded as ore.

Although this was something to be happy about, Rick still felt a little scared when he saw some goblins taking the initiative to forge their original bodies into cold machines. Maybe it was the sensitivity brought about by flesh and blood.

"You are obviously a human, but you are more rigid than those forest elves."

Ronnie saw the weird look in Rick's eyes and shook his head with some regret, "With your perception of machine spirits and your spiritual equipment, you might be able to become stronger than me and that pointy-eared nymphomaniac." character."

"I hope so."

Speaking of this, Rick's expression became even weirder.

After witnessing the end of the world and becoming part of the forging material, animism became famous among the goblins who already relied on sensibility and intuition as their special skills.

Many goblins believe in the existence of machine spirits, and they must be properly appeased before further forging and normal work can be carried out.

Although Rick had doubts about whether a soul could be born in a mechanical structure at first, maybe he really had a talent in this area.

Among the cold gears, levers, and pistons, he indeed felt an unusual inspiration from them. When he blended with that inspiration and prayed, every component, structure and principle became suddenly clear.

It's like it's already in your heart, and you can become familiar with it as soon as you get started.

As a child, he had the experience of playing against Tetu who could not be observed by anyone but himself, so Rick was very familiar with this feeling.

It was not so much feeling the so-called machine soul, but more like being connected to some kind of concept of god.

But when he conveyed it to the Ex-Machina as a matter of whether this was a sign of the resurrection of some god species, he only received a reply that he didn't care about.

"That's really a pity, but no matter what, your current fighting method that combines magical technology with magic is indeed changeable and flexible. Such transformation may also limit your future."

Ronnie didn't mind.

The game field brought by Rick's spiritual equipment allows him to form a completely different fighting style by changing different equipment and magic, and he can make appropriate counterattacks against any enemy he encounters.

This particularity is indeed not comparable to the transformation that is not yet mature.

"After all, the original intention of the goblin transformation was because we were unable to use spells. We did this in order to better listen to the will of the God of All Machines. Most of the other people who joined the Mechanicus also had this idea. .”

After blending spiritual equipment and magic, although the results are remarkable, it is impossible not to have any objections.

The benefits of magic technology are visible to the naked eye, but whether to use magic or spiritual equipment as the dominant factor is still a topic that will inevitably cause debate in every council meeting.

With both the Zero Protection of the Void and the Marrow Explosion showing powerful abilities, Xinke and Ronny gradually gained different supporters from various races. After all, not everyone can use their souls at the same time like Rick. The equipment and magic system are integrated.

In order for people of different races to have the belief to gather together, organizations like sects were naturally born.

When gods really exist, this phenomenon is almost inevitable, just like during the war, although most races resented the wanton behavior of the gods, they still hoped that their own race would receive divine favor.

In order to avoid unnecessary controversy, Ronnie also directly affirmed his belief in the Mechanicus.

"——The God of all opportunities is above"

Although the God of Forging is the creator of the goblin race, its influence is very limited among other races. Therefore, Ronnie gave the revered god such a name.

As a leader who personally created many unactivated divine essences and used them as materials, Ronnie always maintained a cautious attitude even with the permission of the Imperial Council.

The gods are all called by concepts. Therefore, after putting aside the concepts, other people who can be called by specific god names will naturally only refer to the only god.

The God of All Machines is the side of the Emperor. This method can not only prevent the birth of related gods, but also gain the recognition of all races, and obtain formal organizational permission after reporting.

This idea has always made Ronnie smug. If Xin Ke hadn't quickly followed suit and launched another emperor incarnation, the Lord of Joy, who would conform to the ethos of the forest elves and explore the mysteries from joy and beauty, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been possible until today. , his happiness will not fade in any way.

However, after Azriel of the Winged Species also began to use the same method, and took the initiative to bring the God of War under the command of that incarnation, Ronnie was relieved and focused on the operation of the Mechanicum. For this reason, he often He extended an olive branch to Rick, but was flatly rejected every time.

It’s not that Rick really has no interest in these things. Whether it’s the God of All Machines or the Lord of Joy, they all have their own strengths in magic and spiritual equipment. It’s just that Rick is quite nostalgic. Just a guy.

As his half-body, Tetu, the god of games, is his companion, friend, and most sincere belief.

In addition, his loyalty will not be dedicated to other incarnations full of racial characteristics just because of these conveniences.

For humans, the only one who can be called a god is the Emperor who frees them from their predicament and gives them hope and light.

"Praise to the Emperor——"

Rick muttered silently in his heart, and in a daze, the feeling of being connected to the machine soul seemed to follow him again.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Rick's abnormality, Ronnie's electronic eyes flashed and he looked over with concern.

"nothing……"

Using the power of the spiritual equipment, he carefully checked the body and found that there was no abnormality. Rick shook his head in confusion, and continued to discuss the idea of ​​magic technology with Ronnie.

The feeling just now must be just an illusion, right?

————

"Is it possible to travel through the universe relying only on the power of the Star Cup?"

Jibril was also confused when she heard this unusual idea.

This situation is very rare for a girl who is killed by a dragon elf with just one sentence, but still thinks that it is not impossible to kill a dragon alone.

From the realm of planets and continents to the realm of the only god and universe, the span is still a little high for Jibril now.

"Of course it can be done."

Roland withdrew his gaze from the overflowing star cup and showed a faint smile.

"Before explaining this, what do you think the nature of the Star Cup is?"

"Hmm..." Jibril frowned.

Even if she witnessed Roland using the Star Cup at close range, her knowledge of the Star Cup was limited to its power to change the world in a single thought.

"If I have to make an analogy, it's probably the controller of this world?"

"Although this statement is correct, it is just a description of its function." Roland shrugged.

"The essence of the Star Cup is the marrow."

"Is it the marrow...eh?"

Jibril nodded, then was stunned.

"How is that possible! The power of the Star Cup is definitely not something that can be described by the Divine Essence! It is obviously a treasure that can only be born from the Elf Corridor by breaking through the star core."

"That's what I thought at first. The treasure that contains the power of the universe should be the truth about the Star Grail. But although it was just a coincidence at first, after I obtained the Star Grail and began to rule in the name of the Emperor, my faith gradually gradually Once it spread, I saw it was possible.”

"The mass of the universe has increased a little more than usual. Although this is very insignificant, this abnormality is enough to explain something."

Roland's face was full of playful smile,

"The subsequent experiments confirmed this for me."

"I see. Is this the reason why you allow titles such as the God of All Machines to exist?"

The degree of activation of the marrow will increase as belief increases, and it will even be connected to more concepts. This feedback is the best ironclad evidence.

But Jibril was still a little confused.

"That's all for the emperor, but can those sectarian beliefs that are just side names also have the same effect?"

"I had my doubts at the beginning," Roland said meaningfully, "but the effect is exactly the same. No matter what aspect, machinery, magic, or combat, I can get feedback, even if the scope of these concepts is somewhat related to My connection wasn’t deep at all.”

"What kind of spiritual essence does it take to do such a thing..."

Jibril looked confused, racking her brains to think about the power displayed by the Star Cup and what Roland had said before.

Before she could finish her words, her pupils shrank suddenly and her pretty face froze.

Because the answer is actually very simple, Star Cup has already answered it with its own functions.

"——Omniscient and omnipotent, the Star Cup is the essence of 'omniscience and omnipotence'."

"As expected of Jibril," Roland chuckled, "Because of this, its relationship with the Elf Corridor has also been confirmed."

When Roland first came to the world of Game Life, he was still confused about the entangled relationship between the Elf Corridor and the Star Cup. Now, he has confirmed the answer.

The Elf Corridor is formed by the power overflowing from the Star Cup.

Then, the Elf Corridor gradually evolved into the entire universe. Because of this, the Divine Essence and Divine Seed were born, and the Star Grail gained control of this world.

Therefore, in this universe that was born by itself, the Star Cup is omniscient and omnipotent, but once it leaves Disbod and goes to other universes, although its own power will not be affected, it is impossible to recreate this. A kind of omnipotence.

From this point of view, it is not true that the power of the Star Cup is limited to the cosmic level. After all, if the Star Cup is really broken, although the number is not infinite, it can still add a lot of new things to the sea of ​​the world. of origin.

It's just that those universes are just like the dragon spirits, as the remains of proof that God once existed. They cannot be used by Roland at all, and even lose the possibility of Disbod itself.

The potential of the Star Cup is indeed not limited to one universe, but the power it currently possesses is limited to only one universe.

This too lofty and huge concept cannot be activated and produce its own personality, but the nature of the concept still makes Star Cup eager to grow.

Although it is good to create Disbord through such a self-overflowing method, this accumulation method is too long. Let better beings use this first pot of gold to bring other universes under their control, which is a win-win situation. method.

That's why Star Cup chooses its agents under the strongest conditions, and has gradually extended its tentacles to other universes.

"So, Jibril, while I'm out, I'll leave the specific matters to you and Hubi."

"After all, this is an important matter like the responsibility of the acting god. You should use a more serious expression. This will at least be more convincing."

"I'm very serious. I was thinking about it with Hubie yesterday. This is a decision I made after careful consideration."

"Thinking about it in bed can't be called thoughtful at all!"

Jibril couldn't help but complain. Even though she was usually off-line, she still felt a little tired when she saw the god who ruled the fate of all beings in the universe being so lazy.

"This way can reflect trust," Roland explained confidently.

"Rather than ability, what I require from candidates is more trust."

"Well……"

In the face of such words, Jibril, even the sharp-tongued Jibril, couldn't give her a reason to refuse.

There was a bit of joy in the girl's eyebrows, her pretty face was slightly red, and she muttered.

"There's really nothing you can do about it. Next time, don't use this excuse to make me retreat from the temptations of other universes."

"I promised you to see infinite scenery, and I will never break my promise."

Roland whispered.

His voice was not loud, but it gave those who heard it an incredible sense of peace.

"It's just that before that, I have to see where the unknown cause and effect will lead my destiny. I can only do this."

The barrier of the void is no longer an obstacle, and the edge to attack the emperor is ready to go.

If the fate and cause and effect that interfere with everything still exist in the universe, it is time to get the answer.

Roland looked away from the distance, stretched out his hand, held the dazzling sun disk in the sky in his palm, and looked at the silver ring on his fingertips with a deep look.

"After all, this is my future."
