41: Chapter 41 Valkyrie Exoskeleton Armor

In less than ten short minutes.

The hundreds of iron-eating giant ants that had surged forth like a black tide had been completely slaughtered, wiped out by Su Chen's unreasonable and brutal cleanup.

The floor of the entire cavern was littered with broken metal carapaces and green slime.

Su Chen stood amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, breathing heavily, flexing his fists which were burning from overuse.

"Hoo..."

He exhaled a breath of bloody, foul air, sensing the still abundant stamina and mental energy within his body, and a satisfied, cold smirk curled at the corner of his lips.

"It seems the limits of this body are far beyond this."

Su Chen turned around, took a clean towel from his spatial backpack, and casually wiped the bloodstains off his face.

"Alright, the bothersome bugs have all been cleaned up."

"Qingyu, take the girls from the combat squad and hurry up and mine all those top-grade titanium alloy raw ores for me."

"Load as much as you can; don't leave a single piece behind!"

Hearing Su Chen's order, Ye Qingyu, who was still in shock, snapped out of her daze.

Looking at the top-grade titanium alloy raw ores emitting a charming silver-gray luster, the fear in her eyes was instantly replaced by greed for the high-quality materials.

"Yes! Train Master!"

Carrying that huge mechanical backpack, Ye Qingyu was like a cat that had caught the scent of fish; she lunged directly at a massive ore and began mining frantically, wielding her oscillating pickaxe.

The other girls in the combat squad also took out their spare iron pickaxes and joined in the heated excavation work.

In this crisis-ridden wasteland world, every return trip fully loaded meant they had a bit more assurance of survival for the future.

Two hours later.

When the last piece of high-purity titanium alloy raw ore was laboriously stuffed by Ye Qingyu into the metal backpack that was already loaded to its limit.

This massive mining team finally embarked on the journey back to the [abyss roarer].

Back on the train.

Su Chen didn't even bother changing his clothes and led everyone directly to the [Fully Automated Military Industrial Factory] at the rear of the train.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As several heavy metal backpacks were thrown onto the open ground in the center of the factory.

A massive amount of top-grade titanium alloy raw ores with a silver-gray luster, five high-density bone spikes as sharp as spears stripped from the Iron-Clad Earth Dragon, and a large quantity of previously collected high-level mechanical scrap instantly piled up into a small mountain that exuded an alluring aura.

Ye Qingyu didn't bother wiping the sweat off her face; her large eyes were locked onto these top-grade materials, and her breathing was so rapid that her chest heaved violently.

"It's too perfect! This purity is simply outrageous!"

"And these Iron-Clad Earth Dragon bone spikes; this high-density bone structure is simply the perfect material for crafting high-frequency oscillating combat blades!"

Ye Qingyu danced with excitement, already beginning to outline in her mind that set of individual exoskeleton armor that could turn ordinary people into Valkyries.

"Train Master, these materials are enough to arm our entire core combat squad!"

"However..."

Ye Qingyu looked at the surrounding automated machinery stations, which were advanced but still within the scope of conventional equipment, and slightly frowned with her pretty brows.

"To craft the [Valkyrie Exoskeleton Armor] that can perfectly fit human biomechanics and incorporate these high-level materials, the process is just too complex."

"Just purifying this titanium alloy, and then forging it into a micro-power skeleton, with my current equipment and manpower..."

She bit her finger and quickly calculated in her mind.

"Even if we work day and night, it would take at least half a month to craft a perfect finished product."

Half a month?

In this ever-changing wasteland world, half a month is enough time for countless devastating changes to occur.

Moreover, what Su Chen lacked least right now was high-level materials; what he lacked was time!

"Half a month is too long."

Su Chen's voice was cold and overbearing, directly interrupting Ye Qingyu's calculations.

He strode to the mountain of materials, a cold, arrogant smirk like that of a god curling at the corners of his lips.

"I only need one minute."

As soon as the words fell.

Before Ye Qingyu could react to the arrogance in those words.

A blindingly bright silver-white light suddenly erupted from Su Chen's deep, cold eyes!

The only SSS-level talent in the entire server—[Omni-Modification], was fully activated at this moment!

"Boom—!"

A terrifying mental energy, so vast it was suffocating, instantly enveloped all the materials in the center of the factory like an invisible giant web!

Under the gaze of Ye Qingyu, who looked as if she had seen a ghost and whose brain had completely crashed from shock.

An industrial miracle that defied all laws of physics and thermodynamics was staged right before her eyes in an extremely barbaric way!

Those incredibly hard top-grade titanium alloy raw ores that required thousands of degrees of high temperature to melt.

Upon contacting that silver-white light of [Omni-Modification], they instantly melted like butter under the scorching sun, stripping away all impurities!

Immediately after.

Those high-density bone spikes of the Iron-Clad Earth Dragon, those micro-power furnace cores emitting a faint blue light, and countless complex mechanical gears and conduction pipelines.

Under the precise control of Su Chen's formidable mental energy, they began to decompose, reorganize, and fuse at a speed that was impossible for the naked eye to capture!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!"

The factory echoed with the dense sound of metal vibrating, like a swarm of bees passing by.

In less than ten short seconds!

When that blinding silver-white light of [Omni-Modification] slowly dissipated.

The original chaotic mountain of materials had completely disappeared.

In its place.

Were five sets of sci-fi armor, neatly suspended in mid-air, exuding a cold, dark silver luster!

The lines of these five sets of armor were extremely smooth, like works of art meticulously carved by top-tier designers.

They were not bulky and cumbersome like traditional mechs, but rather presented a semi-covered structure that hugged the curves of the human body.

Where each titanium alloy armor plate joined, those extremely complex micro-conduction circuits were perfectly integrated.

And on the outer side of the armor's arms, high-frequency oscillating bone blades, magically modified from the Iron-Clad Earth Dragon bone spikes, were embedded, flashing with a chilling, faint blue light!

This was not just a weapon of slaughter.

It was the [Valkyrie Exoskeleton Armor], filled with the aesthetics of extreme violence!

"This... how is this possible..."

Ye Qingyu's legs went weak, and she knelt directly before these five sets of armor.

She reached out with trembling hands, obsessively caressing the cold, smooth titanium alloy surface, feeling the micro-power furnace inside beating like a heart.

This god-like method of creation that required no blueprints, no machine tools, and not even a single screw.

Completely shattered all the pride and understanding this mechanical genius had built over nineteen years!

"Stop spacing out, little genius."

Su Chen casually patted Ye Qingyu's cheek, which had stiffened from excessive shock.

His long, powerful fingers could even feel the fine beads of sweat seeping from the girl's skin due to her excitement.

"My [Omni-Modification] method is not meant to be appreciated as an art piece by you."

Su Chen's gaze turned to the combat squad girls standing to the side, who were also full of shock.

"Zhang Man, come here."

"Try it on first."

Zhang Man, who had been called by name, snapped back to reality.

In her wild eyes, an unmaskable fanatical light instantly erupted.

As a front-row tank, she knew all too well what a top-tier exoskeleton armor meant for a melee class!

Zhang Man strode forward and, without hesitation, stood in front of one of the exoskeleton armors.

Under Ye Qingyu's guidance, Zhang Man quickly inserted her arms and legs into the sci-fi-filled semi-covered titanium alloy armor.

"Click! Click! Click!"

Accompanied by a series of crisp metal mechanical locking sounds.

This dark silver armor, as if possessing life, perfectly conformed to Zhang Man's hot and powerful body curves.

The two special curved armor plates on her chest wrapped her astonishing assets tightly, yet they also outlined that deep cleavage in an extremely seductive way.

"Hum—!"

The moment the micro-power furnace on Zhang Man's back officially activated.

A visible, pale blue psionic ripple instantly traveled through the armor's conduction circuits, coursing through her entire body!

"This... this power..."

Zhang Man widened her eyes, feeling the terrifying power surging within her body like a volcanic eruption.

She hadn't even activated her B-level talent [Steel Body], merely clenching her fist slightly.

A piercing sonic boom exploded in her palm!

The micro-thrusters and power skeleton inside this armor actually caused her base strength to skyrocket three times over in an instant!

"Clang—!"

With a thought from Zhang Man, the two high-frequency oscillating bone blades on the outer sides of her arms, magically modified from the Iron-Clad Earth Dragon bone spikes, instantly ejected!

The surfaces of the bone blades flashed with a faint blue cold light, emitting a teeth-gritting high-frequency cutting sound in the air.

Zhang Man took an excited deep breath and stomped her legs hard against the ground.

"Boom!"

The hard explosion-proof glass floor was directly cracked with two fine fissures by her stomp.

And Zhang Man herself, bolstered by the recoil of the micro-thrusters on her back, instantly leaped over five meters high like a cannonball fired from its chamber!

She nimbly somersaulted in mid-air and then landed steadily in front of Su Chen.

This extreme mobility and explosive power, which broke through the physiological limits of humans, made Zhang Man flush with excitement, her chest heaving violently.

"Bang!"

This battle maniac, who was usually fearless and straightforward, knelt on one knee without hesitation.

Her eyes, full of wildness and fanaticism, stared fixedly at the man before her who had bestowed upon her power like a god.

"I swear to be loyal to the Train Master until death!"

"I am willing to tear apart any enemy that stands in your way!"

Zhang Man's voice trembled slightly with excitement, but the absolute loyalty and killing intent contained within it were enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
