Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 414 - 179 I Understand You Are Ready to Protect Me (10k)_3

"To put it simply, we’ve fallen into a misconception," Dr. Osborne shook his head.

"Misconception?"

"To make our equipment more effective, and to repel the Alliance armies, the first thing we need to do is to break through the ’Mobile Church.’ Otherwise, even if we activate the ’Anti-Casting Field Device,’ it equates to a slow death.

"We’ve found that the prayer-combiners, who have transformed followers, without a Mage Elect to lead them, keep a much greater distance from each other than normal, and the barrier of the ’Mobile Church’ they form is extremely unstable. Do you know what that means?"

"Don’t ask me, I don’t specialize in Mechanism Science; I don’t understand this stuff," Kael shook his head.

"It’s not Mechanism Science, it’s psychology. If you and I were both prayer-combiners, under what circumstances do you think I’d need to keep a distance from you?"

Kael’s face twitched, vaguely feeling that this man was insulting him, so he said, "Like right now, when I want to beat you up?"

Dr. Osborne took a quiet step back and laughed loudly, "Exactly. Without a Mage Elect to guide them, the prayer-combiners scatter because they are worried about being harmed by their own kind.

This precisely proves that the barrier of the prayer-combiners could, for a period of time, be in a state that is highly susceptible to damaging their teammates.

Therefore, they (the prayer-combiners) need more distance and more time to coordinate the distribution of such a ’Mobile Church defensive mechanism.’"

He then asked further, "Previously, when we attacked the Evil God’s Flesh, the projectiles from the Electromagnetic Gun sometimes melted into molten iron, and sometimes they would disintegrate completely, indicating the possibility that the prayer-combiners’ barrier could indeed heat the projectiles with a magnetic field, and indeed, the possibility exists that it could disintegrate the projectiles at the nanoscale.

"But we’ve never seen a projectile both melting into molten iron and disintegrating at the same time. Damn, that’s really cunning!"

Hearing this, Kael’s smooth breathing paused for a moment.

At that time, a scholar nearby sighed softly, "Perhaps the barrier of the prayer-combiners can be a high-heat plasma, can be a non-uniform strong electromagnetic field, can be nanomaterials controlled by an electric field. Perhaps it can indeed be anything...

The Power of Faith transformed into Divine Power is the most versatile energy in this world. It can unconditionally transform into any special power... as long as the number of believers prostrating before you is sufficiently large."

Kael lowered his head, pondering in detail. Can it be all protective systems? Isn’t that even less scientific than making up strange materials and energies?

No, this is scientific.

He had now understood what the goblins meant.

With the development of mechanism techniques to this day, the goblin empire has been unable to find any sort of equipment or material capable of achieving Absolute Defense among the foreseeable defensive means.

The same is true in reality; the development of fundamental physics is hard to completely detach from the environment one is in.

If iron and its compounds exist in nature, then the probability for humans to develop an upstream and downstream industry chain based on iron and its compounds significantly increases.

But if naturally occurring iron does not exist, humans must research or even create something akin to "iron" in order to develop the corresponding industries, and that elevates the difficulty by more than just a notch.

"Did you understand? Since those prayer-combiners were born in our world, they cannot be completely beyond our world’s fundamental rules. I am very confident that we goblins are at the forefront of the continent’s Mechanism Science.

"Therefore, theoretically, those mere prayer-combiners should not and indeed, could not have directly surpassed the goblin empire’s many years of technological accumulation and theoretical research. They should not and can probably not really possess the so-called ’Absolute Defense,’ but it is possible for them to achieve relative defenses."

After saying that, Kael suddenly understood the operating mechanism of the ’Mobile Church’ of the major churches.

To defend against a certain attack, they use the corresponding protective method, and while dealing with another type of attack, they switch to another protective method.

As long as they are not hit by multiple types of attacks at the same point at the same time, they only need to trigger different corresponding characteristic barriers in different directions repeatedly, creating the illusion of an Absolute Defense.

As for how it switches... the versatile Divine Power will transform into the energy best suited to resist a certain type of attack. As long as the switching is fast enough, it can indeed give the illusion of ’Absolute Defense.’

But it’s too late, too late! The war potential of the goblin empire has been exhausted with each strategic withdrawal, not to mention that now inside the realm, only Wandong City on this one side is still persisting.

To ensure the convenience of continuous combat and weapon repairs, the most common weapons on the goblin side are those that are easier to operate and maintain, such as Explosive Bullets and thermal energy weapons.

Having the memories of before, he knew even more that Wandong City’s Arcane Railgun had long been abandoned as a burden due to the inability to supply electricity in large quantities, and as for the overly delicate laser weapons, there’s even less to say.

A chill suddenly rose in his heart; those prayer-combiners couldn’t be intentionally guiding the goblin empire to give up the weapons that could pose a threat to them, could they?

"It seems you’ve figured it out," Dr. Osborne sighed, "Pride. Until now, we’ve considered them merely as professional practitioners or servants of a god, but rarely have we seen them as a limb of a god.
