Sol examined the small army of Mecha with the most significant focus in his entire life. Even now, he could not correctly grasp the sheer excitement swirling in his chest as he looked at this marvelous display of technology.
“This…”
“Hehe. Impressive, right?”
For Theresa, there was no greater satisfaction than seeing the expression Sol was making. Lilith seemed still a little confused, but Theresa ignored her. Barbarians who only swung their swords left and right couldn’t even start to imagine the immensity of what she created.
In the end, a few seconds were spent in silence as Sol’s breath grew heavier and heavier before he rushed to Theresa and took in his arm while twirling with her like she was a kid.
“You are a super genius!”
He exclaimed and Theresa laughed out loud, happy to see this.
When Sol finally put her back on the ground she felt a little wobbly but managed to get her balance easily.
“Hehe, praise me more. Though in a less twirling way. “
She fought the urge to throw up as it would destroy the moment.
“I am sorry. Please, explain more about those Mecha. How did you even have the idea of creating something like this?”
“M.E.C.H.A. Anyways. When I was working on those golems and saw the fake intelligence they were given which allowed them to move in an independent way, I started to wonder what would be the effect if those things were attached to humans and boosted with different little skills.”
She waved her hand at them to come closer as she knocked on the golem,
“This is pure dwarves' steel mixed with Mithril and other metal that have great conduction for Mana. It’s a special new alloy I created and I have yet to name it but not only does it conduct mana extremely well, but it can also absorb kinetic energy up to a certain degree.”
She stopped and looked at Sol, wondering if he was still following her. No matter how excited people were at her creation, they generally stopped listening when she explained the process.
“How did you come up with that new alloy?”
Theresa’s eyes twinkled, “Thanks for asking. It took many tries to find the right quantity for each metal but I am standing on the shoulder of a giant in this case. After all, I am not the first dwarf to think about this.”
She continued, “Anyway as you know, during the war in the past when I followed your father and the group, I was always the weakest. So I had to think extra hard about new gadgets to keep myself relevant and not become a dead weight. Thankfully, I had some blueprint from our dear angel friend.”
As a dwarf, she was extremely skilled in metallurgy and since one of her friends was the supreme daughter of Slothtein, she had been able to create armor that fused the technology of the dwarves and some of the angel's technology. [1]
“Well, I am sure that the angels and other dwarves could technically be able to create something similar. But… I am the first one to do so. You could also say I used that armor and the golem as the basis to create those new prototypes.”
Theresa was very proud of herself and she had all the right to be.
Those M.E.C.H.A were not just the result of some sudden stroke of genius. But the results of years of research and commitment all coming together in one moment to create a sublimation.
She was not just proud. She was feeling very emotional. She had done something never done before.
If the divine weapon she had created for Sol was one of a kind of weapon that will leave its mark in history, the M.E.C.H.A were a completely new technology that will create a revolution in the entire world.
Her name would forever be etched in the annals of history and for her, there were very few things that were a greater honor than this.
“Well, enough about this, I am sure you must be wondering how it works, right?”
She clapped her hand and the light moved up to another armor standing on the podium.
“Firstly, like I said the exterior is based on a new alloy that mixes mana conductivity and Kinetic energy absorption. In the future, I plan to create different models based on different kinds of alloy.”
She moved her fingers and a holographic picture appeared in the air,
“Outside of this, each part of the armor was etched with different kinds of runes. [Self-clean], [self-repair], [Anti-Gravity]; [Mana Boost], [Blood recognition], and [Mana attunement]. Heh, that last rune is the one I am most proud of. The armor has a certain level of self-growth and the more attuned the wearer is, the more the armor will evolve and change to fit the wearer.”
This feature would make it so that even relatively powerful fighters would not hesitate to wear this if necessary.
“For Self-repair, it’s not as powerful as I wish but it can repair to a certain point. Sadly, each repair will slowly affect the integrity of the armor until it becomes unusable and anti-gravity will help the wearer not feel the weight of the armor. Otherwise it would be hard to move them.”
The more she spoke, the more happy she was, “In one of the inner garments, I have many syringes. Each of them can be filed with a different healing potion, Mana potion, or other potion. A mental command would be enough to activate them and heal yourself at the last moment;”
“Finally, for the Fake Intelligence.”
“Call it Artificial Intelligence.”
“Hum…I like it. Okay, the A.I am structured as an assistant. You can input different rules and systems into it. For example, it can store an entire map and keep it in memory for you or it can help communication across the battlefield that cannot be intercepted like Whispers. I plan to create a terminal that can keep track of all information and act as a tower of control. The exact order can be sent to the A.I. For now, only a very basic one but as time pass, the AI will grow and develop…Huh?”
Theresa stopped her explanation and looked at Sol who was suddenly looking all around him.
“Anything the matter?”
“No. I was just wondering if someone from the future was going to appear now.
“I…I see.”
Theresa gave a strained smile which caused Sol to sigh. He should have perhaps brought Kali with him.
She would have understood the joke.
He chuckled and took a few steps until he reached Theresa then, he slowly took a knee until he was eye to eyes with her.
“Why are you kneeling? Isn’t it something hateful for dragons?”
Both Theresa and Lilith were surprised by his sudden action and Theresa bluffed to keep her heart calm but Sol continued unperturbed.
“I do not mind kneeling to those worthy of respect or when I am desperate.”
Sol looked at the short dwarf, with his eyes filled with admiration. What she had created was nothing short of an epoch-changing technology and she made this for them.
“Thank you.”
Only two words.
But those two words contained all his gracefulness and admiration.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm “I will make sure your contribution to history never goes unnoticed.”
This was a promise he would give his all to accomplish.
