339 Armored Vehicle to Save the World (2/2)

”...” The Supreme Inquisitor was silent for a while, then he went straight outside the tent, stepping into the sea of clouds. However, he quickly ran into a dead end, unable to move forward no matter how hard he tried.

Paul said, ”No need to try it. If using brute force is useful, then in the past, we wouldn't have to waste so many years exploring here. Unfortunately, at that time we were in the dark crypt, which contained ten times as much resources as here. Now, even rebuilding the level eight armored vehicle would be hard for us.”

”Level eight?”

Paul explained, ”Before entering the sea of clouds, the vehicles that are built here would be rated according to their quality, to get the overall rating. Only vehicles that, after the evaluation, reach level seven or above are possible to cross the many obstacles and reach the end of Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. If the level is too low, halfway through, it would encounter insurmountable obstacles, causing it to disintegrate and fall apart.”

”After the collapse of the vehicle, what would happen to the people inside it?”

Faceless One lightly said, ”Rest assured, the passengers would go straight back to the starting point, they will not die in the sea of clouds.” There was a bit of sarcasm in his tone of voice. ”However, after you came to the transit station, you can never go out unless you can reach the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. So, there is no difference in being stuck here and being dead.”

This was apparently an unexpected news, which caused the five archbishops to slightly shake in fear. However, the Supreme Inquisitor actually nodded. ”Yes, as a faithful servant of the Holy Light, basking in the grace of the Holy Light, I would be a waste if I can't finish a task, not qualified to survive!”

Then the Supreme Inquisitor asked Paul, ”You once went through this fourth pass, therefore, this time, making a vehicle that can pass through the sea of clouds should not be difficult, right?”

Paul said, ”Naturally it's not difficult. Previously, we were lucky enough to imitate the historically famous Glorious Extreme Speed of Holy Light Religion, which has level eight rating and thus able to bring us all the way to the end.”

”Glorious Extreme Speed?” The Supreme Inquisitor gasped a mouthful of cold air. ”That's the legendary vehicle of the child of the Holy Light from time immemorial that have been destroyed for thousands of years. Currently, the only remaining wreckage is kept in the Origin Cathedral. Even the most skillful craftsman can't explain its secret, yet you guys can actually imitate it?”

Paul said with some embarrassment, ”Of course it's not me…”

The Supreme Inquisitor paused and then realized that it was impossible to expect Paul to do it, this waste, to imitate the Glorious Extreme Speed. Then...

”Faceless, was it you? Can you recreate the vehicle?”

Faceless One laughed. ”Certainly not. The resources in the black magic big tent are completely different than in the dark crypt. There are many key materials for the Glorious Extreme Speed that are not here, how can I recreate it? Moreover, when the imitation of the Glorious Extreme Speed was first built, the materials in the dark crypt have been used up, so it is impossible to build the second vehicle.”

Paul was surprised to hear these words. ”What? There's no way to have a second vehicle?”

The Supreme Inquisitor was actually not surprised by this. ”So, in addition to Glorious Extreme Speed, will you build another level eight vehicle?”

Faceless One said, ”Is there a vehicle of Holy Light Religion that can match the Glorious Extreme Speed?”

The Supreme Inquisitor went silent. In Holy Light Religion history, there were countless glorious devices, but on the vehicle class, there was only Glorious Extreme Speed. All the other vehicles beside it were inferior.

”So, what exactly are you going to do?”

”Very simple, if we can't make it, then we can't.” Faceless One said, ”Why do we have to build level seven or eight vehicle? If we want to really build that legendary level vehicle, we would not be able to build it in just a few months. This is a racing game, so we simply can't waste a few months of our time.”

”Then…”

Faceless One said, ”Since this is a racing game, then there are two ways for us to win. The first is that you are faster than your opponent, and the second is to make your opponent slower than you. The topography of Beautiful Unique Pool Peak is generally like a set of corrugated rings. The closer you are to the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, the stronger the resistance that you will encounter. Conversely, the more peripheral you are, the easier it is to travel. The eight transit stations on the outskirts of the sea of clouds are on the same perimeter ring. Therefore, we just need to use the shortest amount of time to create a vehicle that can barely break through the cloud blockade and move freely on the periphery—level one or two should suffice. Then we find the opponent with the fastest speed and destroy them so that they can never reach the endpoint, which is basically winning the game.”

The Supreme Inquisitor Ferdinand asked, ”Will the other side just quietly wait at their transit station and let you find them?”

Faceless One said, ”As long as we move fast enough, it would be too late for them to leave. They don't have the past experience as us. In theory, simply cracking the puzzle of the 'need to continue to advance using the vehicle' will take them some time, and it would take even more time for them to build a vehicle. And even if they can actually build a vehicle in just a few days and leave the transit station… I still have the means to lock their position within the sea of clouds.”

Finding the last sentence a bit strange, Ferdinand asked, ”The sea of clouds isolated all of our perceptions, how would you able to lock their position?”

Faceless One coldly smiled. ”Because the Holy Light will guide me to go forward.”
