Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 421 - Crafting Mechanical Equipment



-----

As Veronica used the materials through Mechanical Creation and also her own body pieces through small nanomachines, a large spherical crystal that glowed with bright blue light began to be constructed out of nowhere, right in front of her sight.

​​

It glowed so brightly that it seemed to be capable of blinding anyone that were to look at it, but Veronica did not have eyes, so this did not affect her.

Those around her noticed that she was indeed doing something suspicious, and began to glare at her.

The large spherical core of the bright blue jewel leaked energy that Veronica had never sensed before, something that she felt could truly power up her…

She imagined such an amazing core in giant mechs of futuristic anime space operas or something, being used as powerful batteries to fuel these machines with enormous quantities of energy.

The core was not alone, however, as it was covered in black metal and had many cables hanging out of it, which seemed to be used to add into a machinery item, she wondered if she would fuse with such cables as she equipped it into a slot.

But also many other questions arose within Veronica's mind.

Were these items able to shapeshift like her if she equipped them?

Would they be able to grow in size like her?

What if she goes through an intense fight? Is there a possibility that they could break?

If they could break, then all the Skill Points used into this would go to waste… and it was not something Veronica wanted.

However, it seemed that all of her questions were answered when she glanced at the item description.

[Psionic Primeval Blue Core (3 Star)] 

The Psionic Primeval Blue Core, a highly advanced type of Mechanical Core Battery capable of powering up high-tech mechanical constructions.

The item can adjust to any of the user's size changes, but it will not increase in power by increasing or decreasing in size.

If broken, it can automatically regenerate as long as mana is applied, depending on how broken it might end, more mana and time might be needed to completely repair it, but no matter how badly it ends, it can be repaired through the Mechanical Factory Skill.

Unique Item, Item cannot be registered in the Mechanical Factory Skill nor recreated unless another blueprint and set of materials are used. 

Can be equipped in the [Torso] or [Head] Slots.

+15.000 Magic.

For 30 Minutes, increase all of the user Stats and the power of any mechanical item equipped by 20%, while also giving a temporary bonus in speed and magic of +20.000.

Consumes Mana and Soul through the entire activation of this ability.

When the ability deactivates, the Core will go in "Rest Mode" for the next 4 hours, and the item's bonuses will not be effective on the user's Status, effectively making it seem as if it were unequipped. 

"This is insane!" said Veronica, startling everyone once more.

This was the power of a 3 Star Mechanical Item, which left Veronica in awe.

Without thinking it too much, Veronica immediately equipped the Core in her Torso Slot, feeling the enhancements done into her Stats right away.

However, she quickly remembered something, wasn't there a Mechanical Forgery?

Could there be a way to enhance this thing even further beyond?

Veronica quickly went towards the tiny button named "Mechanical Forgery" and clicked it, as it showed her a new neon-pink holographic window, showing a hammer hitting an anvil.

[Welcome to the Mechanical Forgery!]

"Quite flashy… Is the Samsara System really designing this stuff or someone else? Hekaton? …No, I don't think that old asshole would design such a thing…" thought Veronica.

Veronica then selected her Core and decided to "enhance" it.

[Do you desire to enhance the following item to +1? (Maximum of +5 per item)]

[Psionic Primeval Blue Core (3 Star)]

Bonus Stats when equipped:

+15.000 Magic. > 20.000 Magic.

+50.000.000 Mana. > 55.000.000 Mana.

+10.000 Speed. > 15.000 Speed

+30% Mana Regeneration Speed. > 35% Mana Regeneration Speed.

+20% Reaction Speed. > +25% Reaction Speed.

+20% Equipped Mechanical Item Effectiveness. > +25% Equipped Mechanical Item Effectiveness.

[Required Materials: [Ore Surplus] x100, [Mana Cores] x200, [Quantum Steel Alloy] x1, [Dark Matter Crystal] x1, [Primeval Star Dust] x1, [Mechanical Residual Dust] x2

It seemed that to enhance mechanical items, she needed similar materials used to create them.

However, the needed materials for this item were not even within Veronica's grasp at the moment, although things such as the Quantum Steel Alloy were there, there were many others that she did not have, such as Primeval Star Dust and Mechanical Residual Dust.

"And you are telling me that I can enhance this up to +5?! This is… How the heck can I get Primeval Star Dust and Mechanical Residual Dust anyways?" thought Veronica.

Veronica remembered that the System said that she would be able to acquire the items for materials within her own world… meaning that she did not have to pull the gacha to get random materials, but they were a good bonus when doing so.

Although Veronica wanted to find out more, she decided to craft the other 3 Star Mechanical Item first, the [Mana-Absorbing Mechanical Cannon Blueprint (3 Star)]!

Veronica decided to check its blueprint once more.

[Mana-Absorbing Mechanical Cannon Blueprint (3 Star)]

The Blueprint to craft the Mana-Absorbing Mechanical Cannon, a highly advanced cannon designed to absorb the mana of the environment (or the user) and convert it into gamma-ray bursts of energy, releasing powerful cannon attacks that can deal great damage. 

Can be equipped in the [Torso], [Right Arm], [Left Arm], [Right Leg], [Left Leg], or [Head] Slots.

Required Materials: [Mana Cores] x100, [Ore Surplus] x200, [Quantum Steel Alloy] x2]

"This one only uses 2 Quantum Steel Alloy… and the rest are items I can easily get… here, I think I still have enough in the pile of mana cores butchered from monsters… and Ore Surplus? Well I can generate magic ore out of thin air so that will never be a problem…" thought Veronica, beginning the creation of the new Cannon!

Just as the Primeval Core, the new Cannon began to be crafted by thousands of nanobots, which absorbed and disintegrated all the ingredient materials, fusing it all together!

Veronica saw as if the item was slowly materializing itself out of nowhere… or more like out of a virtual, neon-colored light!

Flash!

Ding!

[Mechanical Creation Complete!]

The Mana-Absorbing Mechanical Cannon, a highly advanced cannon designed to absorb the mana of the environment (or the user) and convert it into gamma-ray bursts of energy, releasing powerful cannon attacks that can deal great damage.

The item can adjust to any of the user's size changes, but it will not increase in power by increasing or decreasing in size.

The large silver-colored cannon dropped right over Veronica's arms, surprising her…

How was she supposed to equip this amazing item?!

She simply decided to equip it and see what happened.

Deciding to put it on her right arm, the cannon suddenly disappeared into white light and then appeared within her system slot, although she could not see it now, she could call the cannon at any time now, as if summoning it.
