Apocalypse Lord
Chapter 205 - 147: Oracle Resonance Mining Machine! (Part 2)
In fact, even if Officer Ed didn’t demand anything, those who fainted would wake up, feel embarrassed under the teasing gazes of their comrades, and then angrily request extra training themselves.
Everyone shared a bond forged in life-and-death situations; no one wanted to disgrace themselves at home or drag their companions down on the battlefield.
Everyone knew that the threat in the deep sea was pressing closely, and the Blood Plague celestial calamity was frightening enough. Who knew what kind of monstrosities in the ocean were eyeing the newly born Ark Kingdom?
Moreover, they could clearly feel that they were truly becoming stronger bit by bit. It’s undeniable that this feeling of transformation was deeply mesmerizing.
The warriors stood up one after another, letting out roars as they raised their Light and Shadow Giant Swords.
The golden incinerating wind that ignited everything howled across the land, swirling around the young men, eventually merging as part of them.
Seeing the warriors gradually adapt to the environment deep within the Divine Kingdom, Ansel closed his eyes reassuredly, his consciousness falling rapidly.
The next second, the core area of the Dawn Steel Plant came into the Priest’s vision.
At Ansel’s request, Abel arranged for workers to create suitable office facilities for the giants, with all the infrastructure and tools in this area being one size larger.
Not far away, Vera was concentrating intently on the light points on the base station screen.
The Sun Divine Kingdom was now closely linked with the Ark, almost indistinguishable from one another, and Vera’s "Deep Space Probe" precisely captured everyone’s spiritual positions within the Divine Kingdom.
The signal was simply unbelievable.
Ansel nodded towards Vera.
Then Vera lightly tapped the screen, and a new login point was smoothly entered.
This wasn’t a complicated operation; henceforth, souls logging into the Divine Kingdom would not be chaotically piled in one place; they could autonomously choose their landing point.
Ansel continued to move his line of sight.
His "Oracle Resonance" was already hanging in mid-air via chains, the chest of the armor opened, exposing the most crucial Power Furnace to the air.
The original design of this armor was to communicate with the True Sun God’s eternal realm and to autonomously pray for fuel from the Divine Kingdom.
But now people don’t need to pray; the gate of the Divine Kingdom has fully opened to Ansel, which means, for the current Ark Kingdom—
"Oracle Resonance" is an almost perfect "mining machine"!
As long as the corresponding coordinates are input, this power armor can collect nearly infinite amounts of Ash Soil from the Divine Kingdom unimpeded.
Although Ansel could venture further in the Divine Kingdom and extract purer solar resources, he chose to stay with the Sun Warriors, using their limit endurance as the current standard line for ore extraction.
Too pure Sun Ash Soil could potentially set the fragile Seagull City ablaze; greed won’t bring good results.
Ansel exhaled lightly and looked at his companions, succinctly saying: "Begin, Vera."
Vera was likewise a bit tense.
Mortals were now stirring the power that belonged to gods; even at the most glorious period of the Giant civilization, believers wouldn’t dare undertake such bold acts.
She slowly extended her finger towards the screen.
The fingertip fell.
In the next moment, the sky enshrouded in a thin layer of mist was just lit up!
The True Sun God indeed trusts Lord Lin Lan unreservedly, entrusting everything to a distant future!
Everyone in Seagull City raised their heads.
"What is that?!"
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the sun in the sky seemed to draw closer to the ground, its light flowing deeply in the celestial dome, sketching an incredibly splendid light halo.
Subsequently, pure streaming light flowed down from the surface of the light halo, a flood of sunlight pouring down, infusing the center of the Dawn Steel Plant!
Rolling heat waves spread to every corner of Seagull City, instantly melting all the accumulated snow in the city.
"There shouldn’t be a shortage of Ark Coins on the market after this."
Someone murmured: "I damn well understand now, as long as you stay in Seagull City, people can witness grand events every day..."
By the coastline, the newly arrived sailors were already crowding the docks, the registration area swarmed tightly.
Gazing at the grand spectacle of the light falls, every pair of eyes was filled with excitement.
The rumors spread across the sea were truly correct; this place was the right choice!
The newly born Ark Country indeed harbors incredibly vigorous vitality, and most importantly, the Ark Leader didn’t seize this chance to hike taxes, nor adopt the nose-up attitude of the Alliance Chamber of Commerce, presenting a mutually beneficial stance to all.
There’s no doubt that this is a golden land for sailors!
·
Someone was already panicking.
Prince Ramses stood by the window, glaring at the light halo in the sky.
Deep down, he was convinced that Lord Lin Lan had used some despicable means to steal the glory meant for the Angsak people!
Take it back...
The Angsak people must reclaim the resources that belong to them!
The Prince Ramses’ eyes had turned extremely red.
To earn the sun’s favor, the Angsak Royal Court would annually pay huge sums in gold coins to maintain the complex rituals, and they must prepare young sacrifices beforehand, trading their wilting for the temple’s splendor.
"Damn it! These Ark hillbillies don’t even have the most basic shipyard! How can they earn the sun’s favor?!"
Ramses roared, his demeanor becoming increasingly savage.
Beside him, the High Priest remained silent.
In fact, His Majesty the Emperor had sent the impulsive and irritable Prince Ramses to the Ark Kingdom precisely to provoke conflict between the two nations.
Once the prince was humiliated, the Angsak Kingdom could rally all citizens’ emotions and, with the Alliance, legitimately campaign against Ark Kingdom.
Though this reason might sound rather tenuous, when conducting business on the sea with everyone, an essential banner is always needed to raise when necessary.
"Angsak people oppressed the newborn small country together with the Alliance Chamber of Commerce for profit" and "the Angsak royal family rose to uphold dignity after suffering humiliation in a foreign country" are fundamentally different.
If the Ark Kingdom continued to grow unchecked, the "Land of the Eternal Golden Night" will eventually lose its past glory.
Therefore, the Angsak Kingdom must find a way to suppress the Ark Kingdom while it is still in its cradle!
This is a struggle indifferent to right or wrong.
However, now, the situation clearly escalated beyond control.
New sea routes... Imperial envoy... abnormal solar resources...
The unease deeply seated within the High Priest became more intense.
·
In the eyes of Abel and others, the core zone of the steel plant seemed to raise a miniature sun, the light falls converging on the surface of the power armor, turning into tangible resources under the promise of the gods.
Clang clang!
The Ash Soil resources falling to the mortal realm transformed into dazzling Sun Ore.
The light falls lasted for a full several minutes, the heat wave gradually subsiding, a small hill formed by ore piles on the open ground.
Ansel picked up the solar resources on the ground, the newly-formed ore appearing solid and durable, the surface enveloped in a golden breeze.
Both the yield and quality of Sun Ore dramatically increased!
"You shall stay here from now on, old friend."
Ansel approached the power armor, patting the "comrade" that had accompanied him for many years, his gaze softening.
Instead of wearing it himself, the only Oracle Resonance could become a future civilization’s stepping stone.
Then, Ansel selected several new ores, walked over to the melting furnace and anvil, lifting the giant hammer in hand.
He planned to use the new ore and steel ingots, according to the ways of a blacksmith, to improve a new set of Sun Armor for the Ark Kingdom. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Never had he imagined one day he would return to the basic courses of his childhood, crafting a weapon against the apocalypse in such an outdated manner.
However this time, be it the sun or Lin Lan.
The god beloved by us finally stood on our side.
Ansel chuckled silently.
The towering giant bathed in light and heat, raised the giant hammer heavily.
