Chapter 369: Uh, Precursor God-Slaying Operation V01?

At dusk, the Wolf-kin officer responsible for leading the team on the Federation side said to Airui Laya.

Their operations today were quite smooth, having eliminated a total of twelve Old Legion mechanical squads; besides that, they also rescued nearly a quarter of the survivors in the city.

This was still on the first day with insufficient experience; if nothing goes wrong, the search and rescue speed tomorrow should be faster.

In addition, there are the company and family forces that joined along the way; if those people are counted, it is estimated that by tomorrow night, with a little bit of staying up late, the survivor search and rescue mission can be completed.

This is mainly attributed to the survivor locations provided by the Joy Company; although curious about how they managed to do it, considering this might involve the other company's secrets, the Wolf-kin officer did not ask.

However, this can only be considered the first step.

Taking a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, the Wolf-kin officer silently lit one for himself.

The Spine standing in the city in the distance is constantly reminding him that things are far from over.

If this incident cannot be ended before the Parliament's backup Magic Energy is exhausted, the future of the Federation will be hard to say.

At the same time, while the Wolf-kin officer was worrying about the future of the Federation, Yun Mu's side was a completely different scene.

"I'm rich, I'm rich!"

Looking at the cartloads of bones transported by the Mining Vehicle, and the constantly rising resources and Research Points.

Yun Mu did not hesitate to control the maintenance workers to expand the Tank Factory and the number of other buildings.

As everyone knows, no matter how much money you have, it's useless if you can't spend it; since the funds have kept up, the production capacity must also keep up.

Her current goal is to be able to produce one Flash Silver Tank per hour, but this is only the initial goal; after all, to deal with the Old Legion, this level of production capacity is clearly not enough.

No matter what, it has to be one hundred—oh no, one thousand per hour to be about right!

And besides the Flash Silver Tank, there are also high-tech units like the Flash Silver Fighter and Shanyin Cruise Ship that must also keep up.

But to reach that step, relying solely on these bones is clearly not enough.

She needs to mine real mineral veins.

Well... but for now, it's not bad; the matter of the mineral veins is not urgent, there will always be a way to solve it.

"Miss Yun!"

A familiar voice came from her ear; Yun Mu turned her head to look and saw Brenna and the others walking toward her.

"Sorry, there were some things at the Shelter, so we're late." After seeing Yun Mu, Brenna explained the reason for their lateness at the first opportunity.

It turned out that some guys from the Beast God Cult had mixed in among the survivors and even incited some of the survivors, causing quite a commotion.

In order to solve the trouble caused by these guys, they had been searching for the guys inside all day.

It wasn't until the evening that they got it done.

And after listening to Brenna's explanation, Yun Mu suddenly thought of something.

"Are there believers of the Beast God Cult among the survivors?"

"Better give a reminder."

After thinking about it, she picked up the Communication Device and told Airui Laya about this, hoping she could pass it on to that Wolf-kin officer.

"Guys from the Beast God Cult? Thanks, we will be careful." After receiving the prompt from Airui Laya, the Wolf-kin officer nodded with a serious expression.

It looks like he took it to heart.

After all, not long ago, the Council Building had been attacked once by fanatics of the Beast God Cult.

Those fearless guys, under the blessing of the Priest, could even possess the power to contend with thermal weapons as ordinary people.

They are dangerous elements that must be guarded against.

But then again, how should one judge which guys among the survivors are from the Beast God Cult?

Hopefully the Crocodile Scale Species councilor has a way; after all, he is not good at this aspect of things.

Sighing imperceptibly, the Wolf-kin officer turned to look at the exhausted Guards.

"Withdraw!"

"Hoo, hoo... this is the final blow."

Elena in her soul form panted; fighting for a long time by mobilizing the power of her soul body was also a significant burden for her.

These burdens would be reflected on her soul body according to her habits before death, so she could still feel fatigue, as well as that slightly rapid breathing.

The soul of this young man in front of her was far more difficult to deal with than any soul body she had encountered before; perhaps it was the obsession before death that affected him, or perhaps it was the influence brought by those ominous black-red auras.

However, he was still no match for her! "Haa!"

A sharp blade light flashed by, and the young man's soul body could no longer withstand Elena's attack and shattered, turning into pure soul energy to be absorbed by her.

Yes, after successfully Purifying a soul, the other party's soul would turn into fragments to strengthen Elena's soul.

Isn't it very similar to a ghost?

This is also why she suspects that Death and Hunting were also ghosts before becoming gods.

Just how much soul power had to be devoured to give birth to such a deity?

Elena doesn't know, but she imagines it's an astronomical number.

"Sigh." Elena retracted the Chain Blade into her body; she looked at the death aura covering the city and sighed with quite a headache.

One guy was already so hard to deal with, but there are still so many souls waiting for her to Purify... originally, most of this should have been that deity's work.

But the other party is busy dealing with the God of Decay and Necromancy at this time, so these dirty jobs can only be done by her.

Speaking of which... "What is this inexplicable feeling of palpitation?" Elena placed her hand on her left chest.

For some reason, ever since she arrived in this capital of the Federation, she had a feeling of being attracted by some object.

But the specific direction could not be detected.

And just now, this feeling of hers became even stronger.

"Eh, the blueprint is already finished?"

In the underground space of the Joy Company, Yun Mu was slightly stunned when she heard Brenna's words.

She quickly reacted to what the other party was referring to.

"What are the chances of success?" she asked.

"Seventy percent," Brenna told her. "If I have a repair worker to assist me, then it's one hundred percent. I've seen how those repair workers build structures."

"They are well-equipped with tools and are also very intelligent." "In that case, go ahead and do it with confidence; I will have a repair worker cooperate with you."

The machines and tools Brenna brought from the Frost Kingdom were all kept in the storage space she carried with her, and there were many vacant rooms inside the Command Center.

There was no pressure at all in using one as a Laboratory.

As for the plan to resurrect Elena, it was obviously the sooner the better; after all, even inside the storage space, the time for items did not completely stop.

"When will you start?" Yun Mu asked Brenna.

"Now," the other party answered without hesitation.

"By the way, Miss Yun, there is something I must tell you."

After setting up the equipment in the Laboratory, Brenna took a Stone out from her bosom with a serious expression.

"W-what is it?" Yun Mu was startled by her rare serious demeanor and asked with some surprise.

"It's like this..." Brenna informed Yun Mu about her accidental encounter with the God of Decay and Necromancy: "Although no Church has ever said that the God of Decay and Necromancy belongs to the Evil camp, they are, after all, a deity."

"As long as there is communication, there is a possibility of encountering risks. If any accident happens... you must protect yourself well."

"So that's what happened at that time?" Yun Mu recalled the first time she saw the God of Decay and Necromancy on the Game Panel. She had thought the other party was just passing by at the time; she hadn't expected that they had made contact with Brenna without her knowing.

"I will be careful." After thinking for a moment, Yun Mu said to Brenna: "Brenna, you must also watch your safety."

"Mm." Hearing her words, Brenna nodded, and then said no more.

The modification of Elena's body began quickly. After Brenna finished a series of preparations such as disinfecting the room, she took Elena's body out of the storage space and laid it flat on the operating table in the Laboratory.

Two repair workers stood on her left and right sides respectively. Originally, Brenna's requirement was only one, but for the sake of caution, Yun Mu specifically stuffed in a few more.

But because Brenna claimed the number was too high and would affect her movements, only two were left in the end.

As for the modification, the Mechanical Heart and the power supply parts were all prepared by Brenna; all that remained was to assemble them into Elena's body.

Come to think of it, she abandoned the original plan of using steam as power and switched to Magic Energy drive instead.

As for the reason, it was also very simple.

First, Magic Energy is indeed much more convenient and compact than a steam engine, and it also significantly reduced the heat dissipation problem. Secondly, through the blueprints regarding the Energy Plant in the Command Center obtained by Yun Mu, as well as Alchemy.

Brenna had already mastered the technology for mass-producing Magic Energy.

If it were just for use in Elena's body, it would not affect the local Ether Information concentration at all.

The reason why the Federation became like this was entirely because the Magic Fountain was being drained too hard, and the Federation consumed too much Magic Energy.

However... although it is said that the consumption is less, it is still something.

But Brenna still planned to wait until there was a better alternative in the future before replacing it.

For example, the Sacred Rune of the Heling Empire, or the ancient Alchemy learned from Lucy. "By the way," Yun Mu suddenly realized at this moment, and she summoned Lucy to her side: "Regarding Elena's body, Lucy, can you directly alchemize a heart?"

"Hm?" Lucy, who had just been summoned and heard this question, was slightly stunned.

"Of course not," she said without hesitation.

"If Alchemy could really do that, I would have alchemized a new body for myself long ago." She explained to Yun Mu: "It is feasible to alchemize artificial organs, but the compatibility between the alchemized organs and a person's soul, as well as the Ether, is very poor."

"It is very likely to cause the soul to reject the body, and in that case, it is completely meaningless."

"Then why are mechanical organs okay?" Yun Mu thought of those Prosthetic Modifications in the Federation and couldn't help but ask.

"You guess why those people with many Prosthetic Modifications go crazy?" Lucy looked at her, speechless: "A mechanical body cannot contain a soul, so naturally, rejection will not occur."

"But your soul cannot feel the modified body, so people with Prosthetic Modifications usually develop various illusions, such as the modified part feeling very empty, occasionally accompanied by a sense of Falling."

"Moreover, we of the Blood Clan don't need this technology to alchemize an artificial mechanical heart, so I haven't studied it either."

"In this regard, Brenna is the Expert," she said, looking at Brenna, who was busy in the Laboratory.

"So that's how it is... wait." Yun Mu noticed the key point in her words: "So if Elena really comes back to life, will she also feel the strangeness of the heart?"

"That goes without saying, but it depends on the specific degree of modification. If it's just one heart, the side effects are still within a controllable range; it's better than being dead."

"What do you mean 'better than being dead'..." Yun Mu's mouth twitched slightly.

Although that was indeed correct, it sounded... hmm... it felt inappropriate.

Time passed silently for two hours. When Brenna walked out of the Laboratory, Yun Mu and Lucy immediately focused their attention on her expression.

It looked like it was a success?

Brenna quickly explained to them: "The surgical modification has been successful. Elena's hematopoietic function has returned to normal, and the various functions of the body are also recovering one by one."

"But the brain... although I kept using external force to provide oxygen to the brain during the surgery, I don't know if Elena's brain suffered any damage before the surgery began."

"It's probably hard to get results just by testing, I think..."

She took the Stone that the God of Decay and Necromancy had given her from her bosom.

【When you successfully restore your friend's body, inject your Spirituality into this Stone, and I will help you.】

Recalling the words of Fen Yege in her mind, Brenna's palm holding the Stone couldn't help but tighten slightly.

"What are you still waiting for?"

Yun Mu raised her hand and held the hand Brenna was using to grip the Stone.

"I..." Brenna wanted to say that she was afraid of implicating Yun Mu and the others, but looking at the expressions on her and Lucy's faces at this moment, she couldn't say anything.

That's right, they all came to this land of the Federation from thousands of miles away because they were willing to help her.

Now that it had come to this, with only the last step remaining, what was she still hesitating about?

"Hoo, then I'm starting."

Taking a deep breath, Brenna tensed her face and injected her Spirituality into the Stone in her hand.

The next second, the seemingly Pingpingwuji Stone emitted a bright white light, and accompanied by a burst of Black Fog, a young man wearing a tan leather coat and a cowboy hat appeared before everyone.

"This is really..."

Just after landing, the God of Decay and Necromancy, Fen Yege, sensed a familiar aura.

Like the incarnation of death, a vicious Wolf that made one's heart turn cold just by appearing emerged from the Shadow, opened its blood-stained maw, and bit toward the neck of Fen Yege.

On the other side, a white figure holding a longbow pulled the bowstring taut.

Twang! The bowstring vibrated and made a sound, a streak of silver-white tore through the air, shooting straight toward the heart of Fen Yege.
