Chapter 1249 - Upgrade and Memory (1/2)

Lin Yun was in a hurry now that he had the materials, because he could finally restore the patched puppet back to the Heaven Rank.

It had been unable to display the power of the Heaven Rank before due to a large number of damaged parts. Not only had the energy system been damaged, its strength fell under the Heaven Rank over time and many systems could no longer display their power.

When he followed Gandaph to the Puppet Plane, he obtained the parts of two Heaven Puppets, many of which were quite good and could directly replace the patched puppet’s components. Furthermore, some of these premium materials could be made into high quality components.

It would definitely let the patched puppet recover its Heaven Rank strength and greatly increase its strength. But that wasn’t what Lin Yun was focused on, he was more interested in the things contained within the puppet.

The words he had heard when he obtained the puppet had almost scared Lin Yun to death. The patched puppet had a secret that Lin Yun had the urge to know. The sentence: “Is there still someone alive?” horrified Lin Yun when he thought about it.

The biggest clue to unveil the truth behind Noscent’s destruction might very well be in the puppet.

How could Lin Yun not feel hurried under such circumstances?

After returning to his laboratory, Lin Yun arranged three layers of defenses and thoroughly sealed the place before entering the Demiplane.

The prosperous transformation of the Demiplane, caused by the truth runes, had already stabilized and the mana consumption already decreased. These days, the mana lake had regained a bit of its depth, but it was still not even at 10% of its peak state.

But there was enough Mana Water to replenish Lin Yun’s mana over ten thousand times!

The Natural Demiplane’s horrifying strength was thoroughly displayed. With Lin Yun’s mana consumption, the wall of Mana Vines spreading over ten kilometers was enough to guarantee that Lin Yun would never lack mana.

After entering the Demiplane, Lin Yun went to check on the hibernating Reina and Xiuban.

Xiuban was in a blood-red cocoon pulsating just like a heart and emitting several kinds of draconic auras. There was even a divine aura at the top of the cocoon.

Once Xiuban awakened and emerged from the cocoon, he would have thoroughly fused with these bloodline powers and would have become a true Heaven Rank powerhouse.

And on the other side, Reina was staying in the northernmost area of the Demiplane, in the depths of the ice field formed from seawater. That was where the Demiplane was at its coldest. Reina had taken her original shape, but unlike an ordinary Frost Dragon, she looked even more graceful and her aura was completely different. She would also advance to the Heaven Rank by the time she woke up.

Lin Yun watched for a bit. The two Beastman Ancestor Souls were obediently taking care of the Three-Eyed Wolf. The small wolf was also growing at a rapid pace, his body had grown a few times bigger.

Recalling the Three-Eyed Wolf’s ability, Lin Yun felt that he could soon take him out and that it wouldn’t be long before he could use the small wolf to implement his next plan.

After checking the Demiplane, Lin Yun entered a huge laboratory. This was his personal laboratory, which he had personally built and equipped. Its specs far exceeded this era’s laboratories. Many of its functions and alchemy devices had yet to appear in this era and it had taken Lin Yun a lot of time and energy to craft them.

After entering the alchemy laboratory, Lin Yun immediately took out the bodies of the two Heaven Puppets… The dismantled bodies of the two Heaven Puppets.

All the materials he had obtained from Faleau had been taken out, and the first time was to complete the preliminary processing of all the materials to form a material that could be used. The following processing would be situational, getting different effects from the same materials required different processing methods.

He first took out all the parts that could be used and remodelled them. Although he could use them directly, he had to alter them if he wanted them to fit perfectly.

The remodelling didn’t take too long, in less than three hours, all the components used had been completely remodelled. All that was left were the parts that needed to be crafted.

With the truth runes’ mysteries he had previously researched, Lin Yun’s train of thought had changed and his crafting speed increased a few times. It took him one day to craft all the components and he only had to fix the patched puppet now.

The energy system replaced the previous heart energy, it was a remodelled version of that Level 43 Puppet’s mana reactor with a new design. The mana produced by that mana reactor absolutely exceeded the patched puppet’s needs. This also meant that the patched puppet’s bursts of mana would be more powerful. Moreover, the puppet could last until level 45 without needing an upgrade.

Furthermore, he had also obtained ability runes before. With the ability rune transplanting method, he transplanted a first-rate Lightning Speed ability rune, an Elemental Strengthening ability rune, and a Defense Strengthening ability rune.

Unfortunately, even if the puppet could support five ability runes, transplanting three was the limit of Lin Yun’s current abilities.

After all, even some of Cybertan race’s first-rate Heaven Rank Puppet Kings could only hold two ability runes.

Even the puppet that could autonomously transplant ability runes never transplanted two runes to himself.

With the Lightning Speed ability rune, the puppet’s mechanical system was altered to let the puppet fight in close quarters. Its weapon was a laser sword Lin Yun had just researched. By relying on a huge burst of mana, he was able to compress and condense a laser with terrifying cutting abilities. When not in use, it could be put away and didn’t take up much space. When using it alongside the Lightning Speed ability rune, common Heaven Mages’ Fusion Shield would be torn apart in an instant.

As for the Elemental Strengthening Rune, it was accompanying new weapons, two Firebolts, two Frostbolts, and a Lightbolt systems.

Finally, the Defense Strengthening ability rune could integrate with the puppet’s armor Lin Yun had just crafted and spread the damage to every part of the puppet’s surface, undoubtedly reinforcing the puppet’s defensive ability.

But Lin Yun frowned after the design was complete. This Heaven Puppet was a human-shaped puppet commonly seen in Noscent, but it wasn’t so common in the Puppet Plane. In terms of fighting abilities, human-shaped puppets were often inferior to other kinds of puppets.

Their flexibility and speed wasn’t comparable to spider-shaped puppets, their defense was inferior to insect-type puppets, and their offensive abilities couldn’t compare to other shapes. This was a natural flaw. The only good part about human-shaped puppets was they were balanced, they weren’t outstanding in any area, but similarly, they didn’t have any specific weakness.

But in a battle between puppets, a powerful advantage could influence the outcome of a battle.

The patched puppet now had a very powerful energy system and a terrifying weapon system, but its defensive abilities was still on the weaker side even after transplanting an ability rune.

Even if the puppet’s weapon system could use spells, it was still stronger in melee battle. After all, while bolt spells were powerful, the farther from the target, the less efficient they would be. In a battle between Heaven Rank powerhouses, a bolt spell flying in a straight line could hardly hit an opponent from a hundred meters.

And to shorten the distance, a strong defense was needed.

Lin Yun was still dissatisfied after crafting a few of his designs, when he suddenly froze and took out the sealed box holding the black substance.

Looking at the box, Lin Yun suddenly had an inspiration. Although that black substance was continuously devouring mana, it didn’t seem picky and would absorb any kind of mana. But Lin Yun remembered that Gandaph had taken it out of a Heaven Puppet.
