Vol 2 Chapter 38: Firepower Superiority Doctrine

Marker World Three.

The divine mechanism directly connected to She Chengze's consciousness locked onto a hundred billion targets the instant it entered this world.

Here there was no earth or sea, only floating fortress-like sky islands battling against the Heavenly Demon minions.

Countless giant crossbow bolts pierced through the atmosphere, trailing pale sonic boom clouds as they crashed into the demon swarm that resembled black clouds, only to be effortlessly swallowed without causing the slightest ripple.

Enraged divine beasts, carrying the collective will of millions, pushed their power to levels that would even harm themselves, yet could only manage to hold their ground.

Winged soldiers activated their murderous aura, forming military formations, only to be scattered repeatedly, with dismembered flesh constantly raining down from the sky.

Their battle cries were so feeble against the beating wings of their enemies, their fury so insignificant before overwhelming force. Even with united determination, their backward technology destined them to be trampled by the Heavenly Demon minions.

But likewise, the demons' weakness meant they would be crushed by large patrol warships.

"Yaoguang One, open fire."She Chengze issued the command.

No need for manual reloading, no need for manual targeting. The humanoid divine mechanism named Yaoguang One had calculated everything. The moment it received the order, it unleashed destructive power upon the enemies.

The main cannon, loaded with calamity ash, nearly split this world apart. All colors paled into insignificance before that deathly white radiance that reflected the world's demise.

Any living thing unfortunate enough to stand before this torrent was effortlessly erased from existence.

The corrupted divine beast hidden within the demon swarm didn't even have time to comprehend what this new enemy was before being consumed by this attack, becoming fuel that triggered the main cannon's next phase of eruption.

Starting from it, the despairing scene of world destruction reappeared. A massive void with a radius exceeding a hundred thousand miles instantly swallowed one-third of the world occupied by the Heavenly Demons.

Then, feeding on destruction, newborn light emerged. It voraciously drank demonic energy, continuously expanding, growing, violently altering the entire world's environment.

The old sun, already corrupted by Heavenly Demons and transforming into a flesh wheel, shed all impurities and was compelled to dance in tandem with the newborn sun.

Twin suns hung in the sky, spewing forth power specifically targeting Heavenly Demons. The weaker minions almost instantly transformed into pure spiritual energy.

Then the massive warship advanced.

It was enormous, heavy, yet moved with surprising speed. Even with countless Heavenly Demon minions blocking its path, it steadily continued its slaughter.

Thunderfire cannons, Supreme Yin Mystic Light Beams, Yin-Yang Rotation Wheels, Primordial Magnetic Sky Traps...

The kill count constantly updated as entire swaths of demon clouds exploded and fell like harvested weeds or scattered like thin clouds.

Demon bodies evaporated under the twin suns, transforming into pure spiritual energy that the warship absorbed, making its firepower increasingly ferocious.

The divine beasts and winged people who had been struggling to defend watched with stunned disbelief.

"How many powerful experts and divine beasts are on that massive ship, to continuously unleash such overwhelmingly powerful techniques?"

"Hiss, does your Xuanwu Imperial Dynasty truly possess such profound hidden strength?"

"Impossible! We've never seen such power before. And those techniques don't seem to be cast by humans at all!"

Normal experts are free - the power of each strike can vary with their thoughts. When groups of experts attack together, even ensuring their attacks don't interfere with each other is extremely difficult.

Yet the warship's assaults were so precise. While the power might fluctuate, it maintained a consistent intensity level and perfectly coordinated with other techniques to achieve optimal effects - something absolutely impossible for normal people to accomplish.

Was it some super expert with countless divided attentions, unleashing such overwhelming attacks with the warship's support? Or some unprecedented profound grand array?

The answer was spiritual mechanoid technology, divine mechanism technology.

People had always been obsessed with individual power, growing stronger through cultivation. Whether through formation arrays, divine weapons, or elixirs - even when pooling collective strength, the ultimate goal was individual empowerment. Even when creating puppets, experts would craft ones only they could use.

People never conceived of creating powerful beings.

How could the weak possibly create the strong? The weak exist to serve the strong, as part of their magnificent power. The only way to escape the fate of weakness was to become strong.

Even when previous emperors of the Chenyao Dynasty wanted to animate the Imperial Mausoleum and create divine mechanisms, they never entertained such rebellious thoughts.

Until the Divine Martial Emperor used otherworldly ideas to make them realize what humans could achieve through tools.

Deciphering techniques once exclusive to the powerful, forging divine mechanisms that could outthink experts, starting from polishing individual components - using their weak hands to create tools, power that anyone could possess, even creating powerful beings.

Even though they had completed the designs long ago and imagined how their creations would perform, everyone aboard the ship still felt tears welling up.

They had forged a new path - a way to create even greater strength.

They didn't need to prove this path was superior;

confirming its existence was enough.

While slaughtering demons, they continued optimizing the divine mechanisms, recording their visions for the Yaoguang series' future in the database.

Yaoguang One also documented each strike's effectiveness and every problem it couldn't solve independently, waiting to resolve them together with its creators.

"Project 1594: Preemptive firepower projection shows poor effectiveness against spatial movement. Subsequent versions require new targeted fire modes or incorporating spatial movement into predictions."

"Project 1595: Confirmed new Heavenly Demon types and defense methods. Next round's additional attack modes temporarily set as: Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, Crimson Blood Formless Divine Aura, Night-Shattering Wave Great Method, (to be added)."

"Project 1596: Discovered new Heavenly Demon corruption method. Divine mechanism operations affected - computing efficiency decreased by 0.6%. Requires updated demon-proof shielding."

In their grandest vision, the divine mechanism would maintain its current computing efficiency and thought processes while awakening a continuously self-evolving, highly creative self, truly becoming their child.

But normal methods of spawning tool spirits proved completely ineffective for divine mechanisms. For now, they could only treat the divine mechanism as a tool, assisting its gradual evolution.

However, soon more people would join them.

The warship pierced through the demon clouds. Trillions of Heavenly Demon minions were slaughtered, falling like black rain before evaporating under the twin suns.

Then the warship approached the fortress sky islands, greeting and recruiting with a mechanical voice: "Greetings. This is the Sky Patrol Alliance, Third Exploration Fleet. I am the shipborne divine mechanism, Yaoguang One."

"Does anyone wish to learn the path of intelligent machinery, create more divine mechanisms and warships, and share glory with us?"

"Truth lies within our firing range, and you can become our creators."
