What was Ivan's trump card?
The dinsional viewers didn't need the Tendo to speak to imdiately know the answer.
It was his so-called "chanical Source Star."
As a standard chanical star envoy of the Iron Do family, Ivan had relied on his cha for combat from the very beginning.
He had never revealed what his "Star Source" was.
Therefore, under the curious gaze of the dinsional viewers, Ivan finally used his Star Source—the Quantum Hive.
After an intense fluctuation of star energy, the chest of Ivan's pale gold cha suddenly opened, and countless microscopic nanomachines poured out.
These chanical creations, smaller than dust particles, shimred with a faint golden light and emitted a low, buzzing sound as they flapped their wings.
At the sa ti, the details of Ivan's Star Source were clearly displayed to the dinsional viewers.
[Na: Quantum Hive]
[Type: chanical]
[Effect 1: Nanite Swarm: Converts star energy into nanite bees, capable of information gathering/transmission/interference/self-destruction]
[Effect 2: Hive King Calculation: Distributed hive network, computational power amplified by 1700%]
[Second Awakening: Nanite Worker: Sacrifices a portion of the hive for 'ultra-fast' chanical repairs, greatly enhancing the effect and duration of the 'Overdrive State']
The dinsional viewers initially thought that Ivan was releasing this nanite swarm to launch so special attack against the Tendo.
However, the massive nanite swarm, upon appearing, imdiately changed direction. Like a golden river, it flowed backward, burrowing into the cha on his body.
Under the repair of the nanite swarm, the cracks on the surface of Ivan's cha began to heal rapidly.
"chanical Overdrive Mode activated."
As a cold electronic voice sounded, the chanical patterns on Ivan's pale gold cha were quickly replaced by more complex quantum circuits.
At the sa ti, the entire cha visibly expanded by nearly thirty percent as the nanite swarm reconfigured it. Afterward, long, sharp tal blades popped out from his elbows, and four powerful thrusters erged from his back.
"Combat mode switched: Swarm-Coordinated Combat."
In the next second, with a sonic boom from all four thrusters, Ivan suddenly disappeared from his spot.
A golden afterimage tore through the air, instantly appearing behind the Tendo.
The reconfigured chanical combat blade, wreathed in a special energy stream ford by the golden swarm, slashed fiercely at the back of the Tendo's neck in a decapitating strike!
Clang!
As the Tendo blocked the attack, Ivan's chanical blade suddenly split into dozens of special blades composed of tiny nanites.
These blades seed to have a will of their own, bypassing the Tendo's arm and striking at his vital points from various tricky angles.
"Just a new coat of paint, but... it's a bit original."
The Tendo's eyes blazed with a brilliant azure light. The vector field instantly expanded, deflecting all the blades made of nanites.
But during this brief stalemate, Ivan's heavy punch slamd into the Tendo's chest.
Boom!
To Ivan's disbelief, the Tendo was "knocked back" on the spot.
What was even more perplexing was that while the Tendo was the one who was sent flying, Ivan was the one frozen in place, motionless.
He lowered his head, and the cara focused on his arm, which had just struck the Tendo's chest.
"Vector storage..."
Ivan stared down at his damaged cha arm, the quantum data in his mind refreshing frantically.
Monts later, he looked up at the Tendo, who landed lightly as if nothing had happened. His expression was serious as he said, "...When did you master that?"
Without hiding anything, the Tendo gave his answer with a smile.
"I've known it for a long ti. It's just that my body hadn't fully developed back then, and a large part of my brain's computational power was sealed, so I never used it."
[Vector Control - Storage]
[Effect: Stores a proportional amount of the received vector damage, which can be released cumulatively at any mont.]
For the Tendo, 'Vector Control - Storage' wasn't a particularly difficult technique.
The principle of this technique was simply to absorb and store the 'vector damage' that was supposed to be returned to the enemy.
However, a seemingly simple operation like this was actually very dangerous.
Because it ant that the Tendo's body was constantly carrying a ticking ti bomb that could explode at any mont.
A single mistake could easily backfire.
But if this ability was used well, the results would also be astonishing.
This ant that the stronger and more frequent the enemy's attacks were, the more damage the Tendo could unleash at a specific mont.
This damage could also be stacked with the Tendo's own various star-energy techniques and abilities, making it a "stronger as the opponent gets stronger" type of ability.
After learning all of this, Ivan's eternally stoic face finally showed a change.
His brows furrowed, and the red light of his electronic eyes flickered on and off, clearly indicating that he had encountered a difficult problem.
In his calculations, the Tendo, who possessed the abilities 'Vector Control - All-Repulsion', 'Stellar Eclipse Eye - Star Liberation', and 'Vector Control - Storage', was simply a terrifying monster with no blind spots whatsoever.
To harm the Tendo, he first had to break through his 'All-Repulsion.'
But to break through the Tendo's 'All-Repulsion,' his attacks would definitely be 'stored' by the Tendo and returned to him at a critical mont.
This created an unsolvable paradox.
The stronger and more frequent his attacks on the Tendo were, the stronger the attacks he would have to endure later, until he could no longer take it.
For this situation, Ivan could only think of two solutions for now.
First, engage in a pure battle of star energy consumption until the Tendo's star energy was depleted.
Second, use an absolutely overwhelming attack that the Tendo's 'All-Repulsion' couldn't completely negate, thereby causing real damage.
But neither of these options was sothing Ivan could achieve at the mont.
Thinking this, Ivan realized that conventional thods were no longer an option to win and that he had to take a risk.
And the Tendo, as if guessing his thoughts, suddenly spoke.
"If I recall correctly, as a High Priest of the chanical Church, you should be able to communicate with your so-called 'God of All Machines.'"
"So, now that it has co to this, are you still not going to pray to your revered deity?"
Hearing the Tendo's words, Ivan was silent for a mont before slowly speaking.
"As you wish."
With those words, a ritual known as Deus Ex Machina began.
Seeing this scene, the dinsional viewers couldn't hold back.
Ivan was praying and summoning a god. So in this Starfield World, the end of science was... theology!

The Only Player in the Marvel World
For a prize of ten million dollars, Du Mu is trying to clear a large-scale virtual ga called "The Marvel World".
Unbeknownst to him, when the ga started, he had already transmigrated into the real Marvel Universe, becoming the only player in this world.
Nick Fury: Du Mu is an excellent agent, he just doesn't like to follow orders. Every ti I give a mission, he skips it.
Tony Stark: I don't know what happened, that day I tead up with Du Mu, and when I ca back, I was left with only one pair of underwear.
Banner: My situation is exactly the opposite of yours, only my underwear was stolen. I got so angry I transford into the Hulk, and I was on the front page of every major news outlet that very night.
Thor: Du Mu said he had already maxed out his Justice Value to 1000, then he picked up my Mjölnir and ran off.
...
Facing the complaints of a group of superheroes, Du Mu calmly states: "These are all operations allowed by the ga. If you have a problem, go talk to the ga planner."
