Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 959: Chapter 404: Mechanical Crown (3)

As he spoke, he took out a crown made of machinery from his personal space.

”Item Name: Mechanical Crown”

”Item Type: Consumables”

”Artifact Level: A”

”Item Skills: Mechanical Divine Soul”

”Skill Description: Within the Mechanical Crown, traces remain from exploring the divine boundary with pure mechanical power. Although it has not formed into a Divine Seed, it has transformed into a special existence under the stimulation of other Divine Seeds. Using the Mechanical Crown grants you a special Talent: Mechanical Emperor.”

”Talent Name: Mechanical Emperor”

”Talent Description: All mechanical abilities you master will be upgraded by one level, and mutations will occur. Each skill can only be triggered once.”

”Note: Maybe you cannot become the God of Mechanics, but you have already become the Emperor of the Mechanical World.”

The Mechanical Crown taken out by Wu Chang was not the Industrial Crown mentioned by Olivia at the World Industrial Exposition, but one could say it shares the same origin.

This crown comes from, comes from Xavier’s resentment.

Content of Xavier’s Blood-Colored Will: [Find out the truth of Prime Minister Ron’s death and witness the pinnacle of the Extraordinary Steam Engine.]

Wu Chang has already deduced the truth of Prime Minister Ron’s death and received Olivia’s recognition.

As for the pinnacle of the Extraordinary Steam Engine that Xavier wanted to witness, it refers to the Industrial Crown — the Differential Machine — taken out by Olivia at the World Industrial Exposition.

Upon seeing the Differential Machine appear and experiencing its power, Xavier’s Blood-Colored Will dissipated.

Completing Xavier’s Blood-Colored Will brought Wu Chang 2 Life, 2 Inspiration, and 1 Will, along with the Mechanical Crown now in his hands.

From Xavier’s resentment, it is evident that before being reborn in the Steam Council, when Prime Minister Ron was still alive, he had constantly attempted to use the Extraordinary Steam Engine to touch the Divine Domain.

Unfortunately, until Ron’s suicide and the official activation of his and Olivia’s plan, Xavier never succeeded.

Ultimately, although he became the God of Mechanics, the divinity he condensed wasn’t Mechanical Divinity but the Famine Divinity hidden by Leman within the Flesh and Blood Steam Engine.

However, under the stimulation of the Famine Divinity, the unformed concept of Mechanical Divinity underwent a change. Furthermore, witnessing Olivia create the Differential Machine using Rules and Primordial Spirit Core without condensing divinity further transformed that power, which coalesced into the current Mechanical Crown.

He had previously forgotten He Yun’s Mechanical Heart ability, but he believed with He Yun’s Talent, something could be researched from it, so he brought it here.

Reflecting on He Yun’s Talent now, he felt even more confident in He Yun.

Mechanical Heart, Mechanical Crown, they sound like a series of abilities.

The moment the Mechanical Crown appeared, it firmly captured He Yun’s gaze. She stared at the crown in Wu Chang’s hand and said:

”Can I take a look at it?”

Wu Chang handed the crown to He Yun, saying:

”Of course, it was meant for you.”

As an A-Level consumable item, the Mechanical Crown is exceptionally precious, but it pales in comparison to the Peace Envoy crafted for him by He Yun. Moreover, with He Yun’s continuous improvements, the Peace Envoy will become increasingly powerful.

Returning favors, Wu Chang, by nature, isn’t stingy. A mere Mechanical Crown — he’s willing to part with.

He Yun caressed the Mechanical Crown, which was just a regular item in Wu Chang’s hands, but in He Yun’s hands, it came to life.

The Mechanical Crown seemed like a miniature Extraordinary Steam Engine, activated in He Yun’s hands and transforming its shape.

Looking closely, the transformed Mechanical Crown bore some resemblance to the Differential Machine in its crown ring and dome parts but also incorporated designs from other Extraordinary Steam Engines.

He Yun murmured:

”It’s very special, more special than anything I’ve seen. I can feel it’s like a living creature, calling out to me.”

He Yun fixed her gaze on the Mechanical Crown, while Wu Chang watched He Yun intently and said:

”It’s not an illusion; it’s truly calling to you.”

In his eyes, he could clearly see He Yun resonating with the crown in her hand. With the resonance, the Power of Root surged within He Yun.

Belonging to the mechanical Power of Root.

This Power of Root was triggered by the Mechanical Crown but did not originate from it.

Wu Chang was previously curious because, based on the standards of the Steam Phantom Plane, either He Yun or He Yi should be a Plane Son.

Without Plane Rules, in terms of strength or technological mastery, the He Yun siblings surpassed Xavier and Olivia. Why hadn’t they awakened the Power of Root and thus affected the plane?

Now it seems He Yun is indeed the Plane Son, possessing Power of Root within her.

Perhaps the Plane Level of the Underground Shelter was insufficient; perhaps her Talent was too strong, leading to her jumping to study Technology Mysticism with the Desire Stele directly, no longer needing the Power of Root, causing the Power of Root within her to remain inactive.

Now, with the influential Mechanical Crown of the same origin, He Yun successfully reclaimed her ability.

He Yun, holding the crown, stood still, feeling its call, while He Yun’s face surfaced on the computer on the desk, speaking to Wu Chang:

”The call from the Mechanical Crown is causing some alteration in the Mechanical Heart ability within my being. I can’t predict the final outcome yet, but I can confirm it’s a positive upgrade.”

”I can fully comprehend the crown’s power through the Mechanical Heart without damaging its essence, ensuring no impact on your subsequent use.”

Wu Chang, hearing this, raised an eyebrow. If the Eternal Lake is Erin’s exclusive weapon, then the Mechanical Crown is He Yun’s exclusive item.

During this visit, he initially intended to give the Mechanical Crown directly to He Yun. Little did he know that she could benefit from the Mechanical Crown without consuming its usage count, a pleasant surprise indeed.

He used the Exorcism Talent to enjoy free item usage, while He Yun utilized her Mechanical Heart Talent to enjoy free consumable usage count—truly the person he valued, indeed in the same league as him.

He Yun’s Mechanical Heart Talent took nearly five minutes to complete its upgrade.

As she had mentioned earlier, the Mechanical Crown in her hand did not disappear upon use and remained intact.

She casually placed the Mechanical Crown on the desk, pressed her body close to Wu Chang, and said:

”I’m very fond of the gift you gave me. It’s still a long time until daylight. How should I reward you next?”
