Wizard: Building a Golem Legion From Zero

Chapter 329: Chapter 321: God-Statue: Cyclops

Beyond the isolation door, a tall, burly silhouette was faintly visible in the darkness.

A mere glimpse was enough to create an intense pressure that made it hard to breathe.

"Lights on."

Sixteen large Magic Power lamps lit up in succession, banishing the deep darkness.

A breathtaking behemoth was finally revealed.

The ceiling had been specially raised to sixty meters for it, yet the space still seemed cramped.

Its limbs were extraordinarily thick. Each leg, with a diameter of over six meters, stood on the ground like a pair of stone pillars holding up the heavens.

If Gabriel was an immaculate holy statue in a shrine, then this colossus was an ancient god of war guarding the gates of Hell.

It lacked Gabriel’s symmetrical, elegant lines, nor did it have the sharp angles of the Freedom Gundam. It appeared utterly massive, crude, and immense.

At a height of forty-eight meters, it resembled a crouching, dark-red mountain. Allen looked pitifully small before it.

Its armor was a deep, dark red, as if it were made of solidified lava.

That was "Earth Vein Tempered Steel," a material Allen had developed after purchasing the formula for a specific Magic Metal. It was created by quenching and forging ultra-high-density alloy ingots over a period of six months. The resulting metal had four times the density of adamantite, and its hardness surpassed any metallic Magic Material Allen had ever encountered.

Its head resembled a completely enclosed heavy helm with only a single vertical slit. Right in the center of its forehead, a massive single eye over three meters in diameter was half-exposed, looking like a Crystal Stone burning with an eternal, orange-red flame.

That was the soul of a Flame Demon Lord, which Allen had specially selected to serve as its Control Core.

However, Allen had written hundreds of restrictive programs into its base logic. The berserk demon soul was completely suppressed, stripped of all destructive urges, leaving only extreme calm and obedience.

Its chest armor was not a single, solid plate, but was instead covered in a network of interlocking cracks, like tectonic plates.

Through the cracks, one could faintly see the three "Earth Core Furnaces" within, emitting a red glow like the core of the sun.

Connected to the armor on its back were two giant metal pillars, each twenty-five meters long. Their tips were shaped like spiral drills, their surfaces densely covered in Runes.

Earth Vein Anchors.

Allen walked to its feet and looked up for three seconds.

No matter how many times he looked at this creation, it gave him a sense of security.

Gabriel was responsible for eliminating highly mobile targets and Wizards with sorcery, but its design was inherently unsuited for storming fortified positions.

Therefore, he needed a wall.

A moving, indestructible wall that could smash all enemies into meat paste.

Cyclops was that wall.

"Jarvis, bring up the technical file for Cyclops."

[Retrieving file.]

[Guard Series Golem, Divine Statue: Cyclops.]

[Designation: Super-heavy land warfare, siege, and defense Golem.]

[Height: 48.2 meters. Gross Weight: 54,000 tons. Maximum Speed: 150 km/h.]

[Power Core: Triple "Earth Core Furnace" Engines.]

The Earth Core Furnace engines.

This engine was the true heart of Cyclops, the ultimate product of three years of integrated technological accumulation.

The energy storage and conversion system from the Second Generation Singularity Engine provided a stable output of Magic Power.

The long-range spatial anchoring array from the Earth Vein Magic Furnace, miniaturized and embedded into the anchors, allowed for a direct connection to the earth veins.

The thermal energy conversion circuit from the PX-2 Flame Demon’s volcanic engine was specifically designed to process the high-temperature fire elements drawn from the earth veins.

He was intimately familiar with all three technologies individually, but cramming them into a single engine housing—

’How many scale models did I blow up again?’

[Records indicate a total of 94 units.]

Ninety-four units.

That was thirty-one more than he had burned through for Gabriel’s Chanting Core.

The Earth Core Furnace wasn’t designed for elegance; it was designed for a brutal maximum power output.

The three engines, running in parallel, had a standard output five times that of a single Second Generation Singularity Engine.

And once the anchors were plunged into the ground...

"Initiate self-diagnostics."

[Command confirmed. Earth Core Furnace Engines One, Two, and Three igniting in sequence.]

The ground beneath his feet began to shake.

Not figuratively, but a literal, physical tremor.

Within the cracks of the chest plate, dark red lights flared up one after another, like lava seeping through fissures.

The single Crystal Stone on its forehead flashed from a dull orange-red to a blazing white, and the temperature in the entire workshop rose by twenty-five degrees in three seconds.

The fifty-four-thousand-ton body began to hum with the sound of whirring mechanical components.

[Self-diagnostics complete. All systems nominal.]

[Gravity Control System: Online. Current self-weight multiplier: x1.]

[Super Vibration System: Nominal.]

[Super AT Field Generator: Nominal.]

[Earth Vein Synchronization System: Offline. Anchors require grounding.]

"Boss, reporting for duty."

A deep, booming voice echoed from above, making Allen’s head buzz.

"Just don’t talk for a second."

This Golem had actually been completed half a year before Gabriel. Allen recalled the scene of its first test, which he had excitedly conducted not far from the workshop.

The sun was hot and dry that day, but the 78-degree outdoor temperature couldn’t even match the heat of Allen’s excitement.

"Anchor test."

Cyclops bent its knees slightly, and the two twelve-meter-long metal piles on its back suddenly shot downward—

BOOM!!

The spiral drills tore through the rock stratum, and the twenty-five-meter anchors plunged deep into the ground.

Dark red runic patterns rapidly spread across the ground with the anchors at their center, like blood vessels expanding beneath the soil.

[Earth Vein Anchors successfully connected. Building deep geological resonance model...]

[Earth Vein node locked. Extracting raw Earth Vein Magic Power.]

[Earth Core Furnace power output increasing to... 318%.]

"Boss, I feel... full of power..."
