874 Sun (2/2)
Almost immediately, the treasure map turned into ashes and integrated into the pillar of light.
After some buzzing, the pillar of light scattered and disappeared. Fang Yuan caught the key as it fell from the air.
”Sun!”
Fang Yuan felt as if he was connected to a vast being while holding on to Sun's key.
This vast being did not have the same kind of intelligence as he did. Instead, it felt more like a high-performance computer, seeming able to adopt actions independently with just a few simple commands from him.
Moreover, it seemed that there was a huge database within his access privileges.
Though Fang Yuan ignored the rest, he managed to learn the goblin language.
”My respected commander, Sun is at your service!”
Fang Yuan heard the mechanical voice of a goblin in his ear.
”Sun?” Fang Yuan's lips curled up slightly at the corners. ”I need to know all your details!”
Suddenly, a data screen formed in front of him. At the top of the screen, there was a small model of Sun, and below that was all of its detailed information:
”Sun
Length: 32 meters, Width: 30 meters
Displacement: 50,000 tons
Status of Fusion Reactor: Good (maintaining 60% charge)
Status of Main Cannon: 87%! Status of Secondary Cannons: 55%! Status of Hull Armor: 91%!
Additional Battle Units: Goblin Rippers (27), Diamond Golems (3), Machine Engineers…
Legend Ability—Eternity: This warship does not rely on other energy sources because the fusion reactor provides energy. The machine engineers will automatically perform ship maintenance, and there will always be freshwater in the water storage tank.
Legend Ability—Burning Sun: Sun can release 50% of all the energy stored in its fusion reactor at once to release an extremely powerful attack with its main cannon that can destroy an island. Attention: This attack will damage the warship's hull. After each attack, the fusion reactor will enter rest mode for three hours to restore its energy. If the total energy of the warship drops below 20% during this time, the performance of the warship will decrease. If it drops below 3%, the warship will enter sleep mode directly.
Legend Ability—Diamond: Sun represents the pinnacle of machinery magic and can transform into a land-combat form. Attention: This mode consumes 10% of the energy reserves every minute.”
”No wonder why it's a legendary warship…”
Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction after seeing this.
'Burning Sun' should be undoubtedly the most powerful single-target attack.
And 'Diamond' should be the crux to how the ship was moved onto this island.
”Summon the diamond golems!”
Those traps and tests that the Soro Pirates had set up made use of only the lowest-level metal golems, and they did not even have many rippers.
However, diamond golems were at a much higher level, similar to the fighter planes on an aircraft carrier.
Under Fang Yuan's command, a few shadows with exhaust flames behind them quickly descended.
They were three warrior golems.
Each of them was as tall as three meters. They did not look human nor goblin. Rather, they seemed to combine all the advantages of various body shapes and were designed into the most suitable structure for killing.
Just by standing there, they released a formidable pressure.
”Such power, although still a bit below a Demigod's intrinsic quality, is absolutely lethal enough. But I'm not sure whether such purely physical attacks are effective against specters…”
Bang!
Before he finished, a diamond golem with translucent armor turned its hand into a sharp dagger and attacked in Fang Yuan's direction.
Poof!
The sharp dagger stabbed through the black mist behind Fang Yuan.
”Hehe!”
The black mist dispersed and then condensed again—it was actually Blackbeard!
”As expected… how could a pirate proficient in black magic die so easily?”
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and turned to Blackbeard's dead body on the ground. ”Did you abandon your body and transform into a spirit?”
”Roche!” Blackbeard stared at Fang Yuan hatefully. ”No matter how powerful Sun is, it's only a product of technology. How can physical attacks hurt specters? It's the same logic as to how ironclads are unable to hurt Specter Ship! Even though I've discarded my physical body, I will eventually make you pay for what you've done to me!”
Toot! Toot!
At the same time, glowing red light emitted from the eyes of the diamond golem, and a mechanical voice sounded, ”DIE…”
A few strange sounds echoed in the air. Butcher and the pirates, of course, did not understand anything. However, Fang Yuan was able to comprehend the meaning of those sounds.
”Intruder alert!”
”Attack attempt on the commander. Enemy recognized. Danger level: Three!”
”Attack!”
”Target is a spirit! Fulfills operation rule number three! Follow attack plan number nine-nine-six!”
”Activating life energy field!”
Bang!
The diamond golems attacked once again. While their fists flew at Blackbeard, a few distorted light rays appeared.
”Ahh!!!” Blackbeard's vengeful soul screamed in agony.
A huge hole appeared on his translucent chest. Black mist flew around the hole and tried to repair it, but it was a futile effort.
”Idiot!” Fang Yuan laughed mockingly. ”All substances in the world have the same essence. When pure physical attacks reach the limit, they can even destroy the entire world. How could they not destroy a spirit?”
The ironclads were unable to damage Specter Ship simply because they were not powerful enough.
Steam power was just an outdated technology to the ancient Goblin Empire. Sun was completely different—it was the product of high technology!
