"Reset ability? This thing..."
Is this a negative effect, or a positive one?
With this attribute appearing, Ye Qiyan couldn't possibly install it on any of his existing machinery.
To utilize this thing, he would need to create a new mechanical construct.
But before that.
"This thing should be capable of Sublimation too, right?"
"It's related to a god, hopefully the consumption won't be too massive. Let's give it a try."
Ye Qiyan gripped the [Decay Core] in his hand.
His talent activated.
"Sublimation."
Azure blue light streams converged from his hand toward the Decay Core.
Then, after just one second.
"Huh?"
The Sublimation had succeeded.
But...
[Mental Energy: 210→200]
Only ten points consumed?
How could that be?
This was the reward obtained from destroying a god's consciousness entity!
Puzzled, Ye Qiyan activated the system appraisal.
[Decay Core]
[When equipped to any mechanical construct, it will add the prefix (Decay) and use decay power as a foundation to reshape the mechanical construct's abilities and intelligence, while preserving its original state without undergoing morphological changes toward decay.]
[Note: A special talent has excavated the final trace of potential that was overlooked during system recovery, causing a unique transformation. It will no longer affect the mechanical construct's form.]
Indeed, the changes were minimal—even the name remained unchanged.
The final trace of potential overlooked by the system?
So that means... the power of Sublimation can accomplish things even the system cannot?
Could it be that talents are superior to the system?
"Who should I use this on? Ah, right."
Ye Qiyan suddenly realized how to utilize this core.
"Lisette, that mech soldier I left behind earlier—it wasn't eaten by Gluttony, was it?"
Lisette blinked and pointed outside the train window.
"Over there~"
Following her finger, he looked.
The mech soldier he had left behind for Sublimation and modification stood silently in place.
"Perfect, I'll use it then."
Just as Ye Qiyan prepared to exit the train.
Lisette beside him suddenly grabbed him.
"What's wrong?"
She placed the two magic potions brought by Menrojina into Ye Qiyan's hands and repeated what she had said.
"Problems... there are indeed many things I don't understand, but there's no need to ask further."
He had no intention of seeking out Menrojina again.
But these two magic potions were quite good.
One was [Menrojina's Mental Energy Recovery Potion (Level 7)] that he had possessed before.
The other.
[Menrojina's Stamina Recovery Potion (Level 7)]
[After consumption, restores 50 Stamina.]
Fifty points?
That much?
Both are magic potions, both Level 7, yet the mental potion only restores 30 points while the stamina potion reaches 50.
But indeed, relatively speaking, stamina isn't that difficult to recover.
Any Train Conductor, with sufficient rest, can recover it quickly.
"Hey, not bad."
He temporarily stored these two potions in Eve's treatment slot.
When he returns to the Wasteland, he intends to attempt Sublimation on these two potions.
Along with the one he created himself.
For now, he couldn't wait to use this Decay Core.
Having taken down a god—even if just a consciousness entity, and not entirely by his own efforts—this reward was certainly real~
Exiting the train.
The external environment had changed significantly compared to three days ago.
Bright midday sunlight shone freely.
The War had long ended.
The Apostles of Decay had vanished.
The smell of gunpowder no longer lingered in the air.
Approaching the Level 5 mech soldier.
Ye Qiyan reached out and touched its massive mechanical body standing over ten meters tall.
[KLS Combat Mech Soldier]
[Equipment: Triple-barrel Vulcan rotary cannon, Beam Trident, Small Missiles]
[Note: Its internal intelligence has been destroyed. Can be repaired by consuming mechanical light body components...]
Its information wasn't actually important.
Ye Qiyan didn't need it to restore its original intelligence either.
What he needed was a new mechanical entity.
So then.
"Sublimation."
Touch, consumption.
Mental Energy decreased—
Light streams enveloped it.
[Mental Energy: 201→171]
[KLS Combat Mech Soldier → KLS-S Combat Mech Soldier (Level 6)]
[Additional equipment...]
Closing the introduction, Ye Qiyan had no intention of examining the changes from this Sublimation.
He raised the Decay Core.
And smashed it heavily onto the combat mech soldier.
The core shattered! Then, it fused with the Sublimated combat mech soldier.
The originally black combat mech soldier gained a faint gray coating.
At its chest area.
The spiral core quietly transformed.
Just as described, its form had not changed.
Appraisal again.
[KLS-S Combat Mech Soldier → Decay·War Intent Mech Soldier (Level 8)]
[Equipment: Decay Ranger System (possesses twelve deployable ranger units that can establish decay barriers)]
[Weapons: Decay Beam Scythe, Rotary Decay God Cannon, Small Decay Missiles (requires equipping).]
[Note: Decay: Objects touched will experience accelerated rotting, decay...]
It had gone from Level 6 to Level 8.
But for Ye Qiyan.
This wasn't the end.
Because.
This renamed mech soldier, under the influence of the Decay Core.
Had already gained potential for growth!
So then.
It was time for its final Sublimation.
Deep breath~
Exhale impurities~
The War Intent Mech Soldier bowed down, its massive body kneeling before Ye Qiyan.
He reached out his hand, touching its cold head.
Whispering softly~
"Sublimation."
Azure blue light streams enveloped it once more.
Different this time, it didn't last merely a few seconds.
His Mental Energy continuously decreased.
The War Intent Mech Soldier's form continuously transformed within the light streams.
It roared with a sound unlike any machine.
It bared fangs that seemed unnatural for machinery.
The gray decay was being altered by this azure Sublimation power.
When the light streams dispersed~
The moment Sublimation ended.
A white mech soldier that could be described as beautiful appeared before Ye Qiyan.
Sublimation, complete.
[Mental Energy: 171→31][Stamina: 156→126]
[Name: (Unnamed)]
[Permanent binding automatically completed]
[Bound Target: Ye Qiyan]
[Energy Consumption: Electricity]
[Equipment: 12 Ranger Units, Decay Barrier Aura]
[Weapons: Beam Scythe, Beam Saber, Rotary Cannon, Small Missile Bay, Electric Ammunition Conversion Device]
[Additional: Attack Absorption Armor, Hatred Attraction Device, Decay Counter Damage Combat Shield]
[Possesses: Berserk Mode]
[When Berserk Mode activates, all armor is discarded, all weapons are discarded, double-edged blades extend from both hands for melee combat. Will engage in self-destructive combat with enemies, ignoring any non-fatal damage until target is eliminated, ignoring energy consumption, continuing combat until complete destruction or target elimination]
[Note: Can use Mind Magic Cube/Smart Chip to add intelligence]
[Note 2: After intelligence activation, this mech soldier's intelligence will lean toward beast-like cognition]
[Note 3: It has completely broken free from decay's restraints, yet still possesses the power of decay...]
