Chapter 203 - 202 - Fate of Sentient Mechs

Read my secondary Novel, Immortal Warlock...

***

Lucien watched his Zanpakutō spirits eating one Silver-grade weapon after another, and he immediately felt how they were becoming stronger. Sadly for him, they didn't manage to reach Heaven-Grade, but it was understandable, as they were eating only Silver-Grade weapons, meaning all these weapons were of Earth-Grade, so they didn't have enough potency for them to advance after eating them.

As hours were passing, soon the entire area was secured by the army of the Niflheim. Those mindless mechs beasts, that were most at Type 4 Divine Warrior, were directly sent to factories, to disassemble them for resources, as in eyes of Niflheim everything in Galastar is basically treasure. Soon enough, even those thousands of sentient mechs that were here or around the base, were soon enough captured by the army. As they didn't know what to do with them, they just tossed them in prison formation for now.

"Your Highness, what should we do with those sentient mechs? We are already holding more than one hundred thousand of them under restrainment formation." Asked one of the soldiers responsible for these sentiment mechs.

"Sent them to factories. Same way as the mech bests. They would be disassembled, so we can obtain more materials."

"Isn't it a bit wasteful? I mean those sentient mechs are very precious and their intelligence is even higher than ordinary lifeform if they could be converted..." The moment the officer finished his head, the ominous aura was being released from Lucien.

"No conversion at all. How do you plan to gain their allegiance? We don't need a timebomb in the Empire. You know, there are more than 2 billion sentient mechs. And now hypothetically, we would take in one-fourth of them, meaning five hundred million sentient mechs. Can you imagine if they were to rebel? No, no... Nobody would take risks. If it's me, father Emperor or Ancestral Holy Land, the answer is the same... dissemble and re-structuralize... they would serve as a good resource and their blank ch.i.p.s, could be used to increase the intelligence of ordinary Magitek Infantry Soldier to some extent." Said Lucien sternly.

"Bring me the report on how many Mech Beasts we have captured and other things from the Mech Kingdom." Said Lucien quickly afterward.

"We have captured altogether 10,5 billion mech beasts, while more than 95% were asleep, they didn't manage to activate them. In regard to technology, we have found all research data, and knowledge they had in the base. Everything has been already transferred to the Planet Ilter, and soon would arrive at Imperial Capital Yharnam." Reported officer respectfully.

"With that many mech beasts, if all of them are recycled how many Ardent-Class Battlesh.i.p.s would we able to construct?" Right now the most important thing was to build a proper fleet, as they only had around 160 Ardent-Class Battlesh.i.p.s.

"Magisterium calculated that with all these materials, we could construct more than one thousand Ardent-Class Battlesh.i.p.s, and an additional two million Magitek Infantry Soldiers. Everything could be done within one year as Level-1 Portable Fortified Stronghold significantly increased our production abilities." Luciennsmiled in satisfaction hearing these numbers.

"Fortify the place as soon as possible. Those scraps of metal would attack within the upcoming days. They don't know we have people comparablôe to the Type 10 Divine Warrior, so they should come. Also, prepare against wave tactics. They will bring at least half of their mech beasts, which is eighty billion mech beasts, so be careful. Construct Magitek Towers with restraining formation around the entire fortress." Lucien then proceeded to issue a series of commands.

Even though eighty billion mech beasts sounded a lot, they weren't that problem to deal with. One needed to kill a controller, who was controlling them. As long as they killed or captured it, all mech beasts would just fall down and would be in an inactive state. In the Mech Kingdom, mech beasts were only a cannon fodder without any bit of intelligence. If it weren't for sentient mechs who were controlling them, these mech beasts were harmless.

After everything here was handled, Lucien departed for his personal cultivation room, as he wanted to use this time to break through and reach Jindan Realm in Void Energy. He already comprehended Lesser Void Dao, and currently was comprehending Grand Void Dao, and his cultivation of Void Energy was at Pinnacle-Phase Xiantian Realm for some time already. Getting himself to the Jindan Realm in Void Path would greatly increase his survivability, and also his supportive abilities, though this element wasn't known for its offensive powers in early stages, its versatility was well-known even at Houtian Realm.

He sat down cross-legged and started breaking through to the Jindan Realm. He was training in the Eternal Void Scripture, so he followed steps to create Jindan. In creating Jindan, one could create several types, from worst to best they were: White - Worst, Orage - Common, Red - Rare, Violent - Excellent, and finally Golden - Perfect Jindan. Golden Jindan, was perfect Jindan, not only it was bigger than previous ones, it didn't have any cracks, leakages, or any impurities. Lucien was again aiming to create Golden Jindan, nothing else was acceptable.

It was different than breaking through in Destruction Immortal Path. Lucien didn't feel any pain to anything, and very soon he condensed Golden Jindan in Datian belonging to the Void Energy. But he didn't stop and continued to condesíng more Jindans as he felt he could condense two more. It would also be good to have the same amount as Destruction Energy right now also had three jindans, so neither side would be suppressed, it would be creating an equilibrium.
