Chapter 957 The chanic Emperor“s Counter
In the Army Commander’s machinery modification room, row after row of assembly lines were lined in an orderly manner, and from the chassis of each assembly line stretched out dozens of multi-functional chanical manufacturing arms that automatically assembled the products. The entire room was filled with the sound of parts fitting into each other, as the assembled products were sent down the lines to undergo transformation.
Han Xiao strolled down the busy workshop, continuously releasing his chanical Force like a dense spider web, linking all the assembly lines like countless extended limbs, which allowed him to multitask and build many machines at the sa ti.
Currently, machinery manufacturing and assembling had already beco extrely convenient for him. The efficiency of such multi-tasking was linked to the Intelligence attribute, and even if there were no assembly lines, Han Xiao could also transform a large number of machines at the sa ti and utilize the thod the players used, which was to concurrently manufacture and assemble.
Han Xiao walked up to one of the workbenches. This was where the Divine chanical Throne was currently being constructed, with the last parts currently being fitted in. The chanical arms were painting and spraying it with cooling mist, which overflowed around the entire area.
Waving his hand to disperse the mist, Han Xiao carefully looked at the throne in front of him. It was a black alloy throne, with its surface covered in chanical structural lines. The squares were sharp and angular, and one could see that it looked very badass.
Han Xiao had also added nano-deformation technology, which had a self-adjusting function, being able to perfectly fit any sort of body shape. Its appearance and style were similar to the floating throne he had created before, but the internal technology was vastly different. The previous floating throne only had a visual effect, but this throne had actual bonuses and was unique to the attributes of whoever designed it.
Opening his interface, Han Xiao glanced at the item introduction.

“Can be used to look cool, and even adds bonuses. What a badass piece of divine equipnt.” Han Xiao stroked it lovingly, refusing to let go.
In the future when he brought this toy out to fight, those who were unaware would think that he had a lot of style. It completely suited his cold and suave character!
After experinting with the results, Han Xiao stored the throne with satisfaction, turning back to the other workbenches.
The majority of the workbenches were updating the spare chanical army that sat in the Black Star Army warehouse, reforming their technology to the level of the Divine Throne chanic. A small portion was however involved in manufacturing new machinery, many of which were taken from the blueprints of the Tyracles Legacy.
The Tyracles Legacy was a racial talent for his level 300 Promotion, and this race had a profound knowledge in chanical technology, with all sorts of whimsical and miraculous machines. When Han Xiao completed the promotion mission, he had unlocked the blueprints up to level 300.
So of the blueprints could be used, adding dozens of new machines to his current chanical army. According to the different functions, his chanical army had expanded to contain more units, which included many new types of soldiers.
The Cosmic Wanderer, the Tyracles’ Specialty chanical soldier, alternated between the colors of green and purple. It possessed a triangular knight helt-like head and a thin skeletal body fra. Using biochemical machinery, a module under their armor housed a large amount of secret strengthening fluid to enhance its tendons and muscles, which would allow their body fra to swell explosively into a huge bodybuilder shape. The bonuses awarded were very high.
In addition, this model had special capabilities. It possessed two stages of transformation. One of them was overclocking, which allowed it to obtain a strong explosive force and improvent in all attributes, and the second was Explosive Retreat, which was activated on the basis of overclocking. The second mode allowed it to release a special warp field, covering both ranged and lee attacks. After the actual combat test run, Han Xiao found out that the Cosmic Wanderer could rival most models that had the sa specifications as it. Its basic performance was one of the best.
Han Xiao now had a few more slots for Apostle Weapons, so he chose the Cosmic Wanderer with the best basic attributes to convert into an Apostle Weapon. Initially, he wanted to na it ‘Purple Muscle Tyrant’, but thinking about it, the na seed a little perverted.
Naming an Apostle Weapon was just like naming a child; it was not sothing he could randomly scream and be done with. After ruminating for a while, Han Xiao finally nad it ‘Purple Sky Spirit’ based on how he had nad his previous Apostle Weapons and prepared to bring it over to the Machinery civilization to have it propagate as well.
Other than this, the Tyracles Legacy blueprints contained many other good items, such as physical missiles equipped with precision transition guidance. The ammunition was made from a special high-energy polyr, which contained a strong erosion effect, and was particularly useful toward a battleship’s shields.
There was also an interesting series of stellar star system devices that could create a path to guide and focus stellar energy from the universe, indirectly causing annihilation level strikes. However, Han Xiao was more concerned about the stellar concentrator under this series. It could take stellar matter on a large scale and, through its condensation, create a ‘movable Fixed Star’.
Other than energizing and guiding attacks, this device could also release material at other locations to form a completely new Fixed Star, the size of which was determined by the amount of material released. This was what it ant by movable.
Within the legacy, the Saint Tyracles used this thod to multiply the stars. After duplicating them, the new stars were then filled with dust and matter to increase the volu. In that manner, the natural fixed stars that it produced had far more power output compared to ordinary man-made Fixed Stars.
What Han Xiao was concerned about was the usage of this device. If this device was released at point blank range, it was akin to a portable stellar bomb. Its destructive power was probably not much worse than the original Primordial Psionic Energy bomb, and there was no problem with environntal pollution. This facilitated murder as well as the removal of evidence.
...
As Han Xiao buried his head in the transformation of his machinery, Sylvia set out to implent the education plan. The first step was to announce to the entire Star Field that the army had diversified into the education sector.
Ever since Han Xiao had defeated the Tyrant, there were many galactic residents who were following his movents. They thought that Black Star would make big moves after acquiring the title of strongest in the Star Field.
The mont this announcent ca out, the entirety of the Shattered Star Ring started boiling in excitent. The top Beyond Grade A of Shattered Star Ring had started a school, and just his na alone would attract a large number of people.
The plan was to prepare for the pilot testing of dozens of schools within the Godora galaxy, and Planet Aquamarine was one of the important pilot areas.
The developnt of Planet Aquamarine rapidly changed with each passing day. When Nero stepped off the spaceship, he felt that Black Star City had beco a lot more foreign to him.
“I’m ho...”
Nero settled his emotions and returned ho, only to find out that Bennett had gone on a work trip, and only his mother was at ho.
Because Han Xiao had given him a vacation, for the next few days, Nero indulged in eating, drinking, and playing gas.
“This is the life...!”
Lazing on the balcony of his high-attitude villa, Nero held a cup of ice cream in his hands, drinking the lted cream through a straw as he gazed on the scenery of the city.
Within the Black Star Army, he had no status, so he could only passively accept arrangents. Over here, he was the son of the planet’s leader, so he was the biggest young master in this city. As long as he did not break the law, he could have everything he wanted... such as this ice cream, which he had asked his bodyguard to buy.
Buzz!
At this mont, the external screens of several buildings outside lit up, and the news played.
“The Black Star Army announced the establishnt of its Black Star Super Academy yesterday in an effort to obtain more talents. President Bennett t up with the executive principal of the Black Star Super Academy and will be delivering a speech shortly...”
The live broadcast played on the screen, and a press conference was in progress. On screen, Bennett’s and Lagi’s long distance projections sat opposite each other, chatting in front of countless reporters. This was in an executive conference room within the governnt building, situated within Black Star City. Seeing his, Nero knew that Bennett had already returned.
“On behalf of the people on Planet Aquamarine, I thank the Black Star Army for their generosity.” In the picture, Bennett smiled and expressed his attitude.
Lagi remained silent and only nodded, while the interpreter beside him enthusiastically spoke. “Planet Aquamarine is the mother star of Black Star, so he is very willing to help with its developnt. The people of Planet Aquamarine are just like his brothers and sisters.”
After so many painful lessons, Lagi was hereby banned from speaking in such public events. Han Xiao had specially searched for a sunny and positive secretary to act as an interpreter.
Looking at Bennett in the live broadcast, Nero suddenly discovered that the wrinkles on Bennett’s face seed to have increased, and white hair also seed to be filling up his head.
“Father is getting old...”
Nero pursed his lips, inexplicable emotions spreading in his heart. The joy of his vacation gradually subsided, replaced by an uncomfortable feeling of having nothing to do.
After travelling through the universe, Nero’s experiences were far broader than his peers, and he had begun to mature early. He understood the situation of Planet Aquamarine as well as Bennett’s pains, and this concept of responsibility also gradually ford within his heart.
After struggling inwardly for a while, Nero shoved the remainder of the ice cream into his mouth before retreating into his room and unwillingly pulling out a book on machinery theory, flipping through it with a bitter expression.
But this only lasted for a while before he slowly got absorbed within.
While he thought he would be unwilling, the long periods of studying had allowed him to develop an interest in machinery, and he had begun to learn how to appreciate it.
...
“Running a school?”
Seeing the public announcent by the Black Star Army, Sorokin fell into deep thought. He stepped up to the window, looking as spaceships continuously left the Bloodshed Land headquarters, and gently shook his head.
After Heber lost, such adverse effects had gradually erged. His prestige had collapsed, and the cohesion of Bloodshed Land was also shaken, so talents were leaving. Every few days, soone withdrew from Bloodshed Land. With Heber still in closed door recuperation, the upper echelons had no orders to move, so they could only watch as their mbers left.
Toward Black Star moving into the education sector, this was to transform the influence into actual support from the people, which was unprecedented. Bloodshed Land had already fallen to the bottom and was in a miserable state.
In such a situation, Sorokin also had no good ideas. He could only keep a low profile and temporarily stop the business attack on the Black Star Army. He was prepared to wait until Black Star’s lilight had faded.
Di di di...
At this mont, his communicator rang. Picking it up, Sorokin saw that Manison was on the line.
“Your Excellency, what’s the matter?”
“I would like to know the inside information of the Black Star Army’s business. Give a list.”
Sorokin paused in shock. “What’s the aning of this?”
“Helping you,” Manison blandly replied.
“I understand now. You want to do a virtual intrusion into their database?” Sorokin’s eyes flashed, but he was surprised. This was as good as forming a grudge with Black Star.
“I also play a part in your current actions. The Federation of Light has tasked with thoroughly checking the database of the Black Star Army, and I’m just taking advantage of this opportunity to help you.” Manison’s expression remained indifferent.
“It’s not just that, right?” Sorokin narrowed his eyes. “The rise of Black Star has given you pressure.”
“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t know,” Manison coldly comnted.
“Haha, I understand. I’ll send the list over shortly. If you can really get so inside information, this will help my actions a lot.”
“Ok.” Manison cut the call.
In actual fact, the Federation of Light did not ask him to hack into Black Star’s database; it was Manison himself who suggested it.
Helping Sorokin was just an additional topping. The main point was that he wished to test Black Star’s strength again. Instead of sparring, he wished to fight against him in the virtual network.
His reason for doing this was because he had received the notice of Black Star being enshrined in the Machinery Faith. In Manison’s eyes, Black Star had transford from a junior with potential into a competitor!
From the few tis they had interacted, Manison knew that Black Star was not soone who was willing to sit still. The mont he was enshrined in the Machinery Faith as a deity, he would seek more followers, and Manison was not soone who would sit idly at the loss of his own interests.
Of course, he did not think that Black Star would be so easy to kill. He was not prepared to kill him either.
Manison’s objective was to firmly push down Black Star in the area of the chanic class, doing to Han Xiao what he had done to the Tyrant, destroying his prestige.
In this manner, the Machinery Faith believers would not turn toward Black Star, and the entire Universe would hear his declaration.
I, the chanic Emperor, am still the father of the chanics!
