Chapter 521: Chapter 482 Mechanical Battle Girl

Library Tower’s fourth floor, the doors wide open, Tang Qi emerged from the opposite end in tattered clothes, his face donning a slight smile, clearly in a delightful mood.

Nicholas, the “Legendary Knight,” despite burying himself in the mud of Saint Martin Lake for many years and suffering severe corrosion on his once gloriously radiant armor and legendary body, had fallen to merely a “Professional Level” Extraordinary Abnormality.

Yet his potential was still intact.

Furthermore, for reasons unknown, an outsider’s soul seemed to perfectly merge with the knight’s body, occasionally causing comical situations that were laughable, yet anyone could see the knight’s past glory once he entered into combat.

If he could gradually regain his “Legendary Level” combat strength, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of Merada Special Education School.

“However, having a legendary body controlled by a soul that’s greedy yet has its limits, it’s really something to look forward to.”

“And compared to Eva and me, Nicholas, who possesses the combat consciousness inherited from the Legendary Knight, is obviously more suitable to be an instructor for the Extraordinary Practical Combat Class. This way, it looks like I’ve relieved myself of a tough job, not bad.”

As Tang Qi headed towards the bathroom, he cheerfully spoke.

Undoubtedly, the original reason he went to settle scores with “Nicholas” was to lure this enormous potential force into the school. Ms. Taoles’s divination and his special ability detection were sufficient for him to pass the evaluation.

As for the “wealth” Nicholas had robbed, Tang Qi didn’t care much about it because of Nicholas’s excessive caution; he didn’t manage to rob anything of high quality, just some gold, silver, jewels, or antiques, and at most, a few low-level Curios.

All three were beyond Tang Qi’s desired “range.”

Half an hour later, Tang Qi, now dressed in casual home attire, came out relaxed and was about to prepare some coffee and snacks for himself when the vibrations from the Magic Doorbell arrived. Without needing to open it, Tang Qi could already see the scene outside.

Led by Professor Eva, by her side were the Mechanical Girl Peggy and Noah among others familiar with Peggy.

Everyone’s faces had a nervous expression, and in addition to expectation, their glances towards Peggy mostly carried worry.

Having anticipated this, Tang Qi wasn’t surprised at all, as their arrival was also due to his telepathic notice when he left the “sunken ship trench.”

With a thought, he sent an order to “Gluttony,” who was catching up with the Night Beast and Little Fairy, and casually swiped open two portals. One swallowed himself and the rushing Gluttony, while the other enveloped Eva and her group.

“Hmm”

With a strong and defining radiance, shooting from the “White Lighthouse” perched atop the cliff, it swept across Tang Qi and the others, immediately transporting them into the Isolation Zone.

…

In the mist-filled Isolation Zone, on a stone pillar bounded by a constant space-expanding witchcraft, Tang Qi, Eva, Peggy, and about a dozen students appeared simultaneously.

Upon appearing, everyone’s first instinct was to look towards Peggy, as well as the mechanical creation abruptly appearing in Tang Qi’s palm.

Its core was a gemstone gleaming brilliantly, with a glowing blue radiance flowing through it. The sensitive Transcendents could sense a deeply terrifying power from it, if unleashed completely, it could likely be a bomb devastating enough to wipe out the entire “Lake Heart Island Secret Realm.”

Fortunately, its “shell,” derived from the advanced technology of the Tanik Clan, not only contained the burst of energy but also formed a special Magic circuit, which could channel the energy inside the gemstone for use.

“This is the Titanic Stone, which might solve your energy issues, but there are certain risks involved in replacing it. Are you willing to try, Peggy?”

Tang Qi, holding the gemstone, approached the little girl, looking into her eyes, and asked gently.

Replacing an energy source for a “mechanical person,” especially since this energy wasn’t specifically adapted, obviously had significant risks.

But if delayed further, Peggy would soon die.

Once she left the Isolation Zone, the heart in her chest would enter an even more severe period of decline, and her life expectancy, initially less than a year, was directly reduced to a few months. Every movement she made, even just moving her eyes, required energy consumption.

Peggy was experiencing the sensation of life draining away almost every moment, and even a mature adult under such conditions might collapse.

Yet this little girl had always maintained an optimistic attitude, curious about everything in the outside world.

While Tang Qi obtained the “Titanic Stone” not only for replacing Peggy’s energy source but also had other uses like “casting” or as the energy source for “Queen Serano,” he didn’t consider those aspects.

Peggy glanced at the gemstone in Tang Qi’s hands, then made eye contact with her friends. Noah and the others all gave her encouraging looks.

Turning her head, she nodded emphatically and bowed to Tang Qi, saying, “Please, Mr. Principal!”

After Peggy agreed, Tang Qi instructed Eva to take the students to an adjacent stone pillar to watch, as changing the energy source for a mechanical creation wasn’t just risky for the mechanism itself, but could also affect those nearby.

Coming to the Isolation Zone was to minimize the dangers.

In case of a “mistake,” Tang Qi would use methods left by the Witches to divert the explosive energy away.

Of course, that was the worst-case scenario.

According to his estimate, it wasn’t likely to come to that. The Titanic Stone was a pure Energy Gem, and there were no obvious restrictions on Peggy’s “Mechanical Body” as long as it could provide a continuous supply of energy, it should be able to operate smoothly.

The corresponding Information Fragment came from the triangular iron piece that accompanied the Titanic Stone.

And a long time ago, Tang Qi had specifically researched mechanical data.

The thought flickered, and a Magic Shield appeared on the stone pillar, followed by a series of crackling sounds. Peggy proactively unlocked the “heavy defenses” at her chest, and the last mechanical partition fell, revealing the spherical silver-white gemstone inside.

Tang Qi reached out a hand, from which golden light flames softly emerged, forming a layer of “Magic Gloves” as he reached for the gemstone that replaced the heart.

As the distance shortened, a dangerous aura gradually permeated the air. Although Peggy had voluntarily dropped her defenses, entering the “Energy Exhaustion Period” as a Curios was synonymous with danger.

Fortunately, due to Tang Qi’s well-honed Molten Magic—if steady and clever—circumvented all circuits and gently dislodged the gemstone from the groove. With a “click,” the gemstone fell into a mechanical box that appeared abruptly, and the intricate “Sealing Witchcraft” enveloped it like a multilayered network.

Being deprived of the energy supply, Peggy’s body immediately underwent horrifying changes.

The dazzling silver light swiftly decayed, and the future-looking beauty began to decay. The dark rust spread like a “virus,” affecting every single one of her “bones” and even her skin, emitting radiation potent enough to make most life forms sick or even cause death.

Within Peggy’s extinguished eyes, a profound black light began to emerge.

Boom!

A hurricane-like aura burst forth, with rust-like black spots beginning to pervade the air.

This strange turn of events immediately made onlookers like Eva and Noah gasp in shock.

“Is Peggy about to mutate into a monster?”

The same thought emerged in everyone’s mind.

In the increasingly turbulent Mysterious Side, such scenes were not uncommon.

Even the Church, which represented “Light,” often witnessed phenomena of Knights, nuns, and priests who were Transcendents undergoing demonization and corruption.

The sudden change also surprised Tang Qi.

His gaze suddenly intensified, emitting a strong ghost light.

Previously unseen Information Fragments exploded in Tang Qi’s mind at this moment.

“Extraordinary Creatures: Mechanical Battle Girl, mutating… modified from an ‘Exotic Realm Creatures’ into a ‘Combat Machine’, but as a ‘defective product,’ it will automatically mutate due to the wash of the Spiritual Tide upon losing its energy supply, direction unknown… direction determined, it will become a Chaotic Creature within minutes.”

“Defective product?”

“Chaotic Creature?”

These words immediately made Tang Qi release the mechanical box, allowing it to be snatched by Gluttony, while he placed a Titanic Stone that appeared out of nowhere into the groove left by the “gemstone.”

Boom!

Visibly, a transformation was born.

As soon as the Mechanical Body connected with the “Titanic Stone’s” magic circuit, a torrent of pale blue Radiance spread, and immense energy was drawn out, seemingly about to fill the entire Mechanical Body.

But a heart-stopping scene occurred as the black rust-like virus, incredibly tenacious, was dispersed by the first wave of pale blue Radiance. Abruptly, it fragmented and quickly polluted the entire body, attempting to reconnect.

In the eyes of Eva and others at this moment –

Peggy’s “Mechanical Body” flowed with pale blue Radiance, but at the same time, numerous “Black Spots” kept burgeoning, the two forces began to struggle.

Perhaps due to being a “defective product,” after an explosive contact with the Titanic Stone, it fell silent, merely gently releasing energy at a fixed “frequency.”

“To ensure safety and sustainability, the shell of the Titanic Stone will bind the energy burst, fixing a certain most suitable frequency. I may stimulate the circuit with Molten Magic, but if I were to detonate the device directly, the pouring out energy would not only destroy Peggy but also harm the Isolation Zone.”

Tang Qi instantly grasped the true situation before him, without making any movement towards the Titanic Stone, instead, he turned to look at Peggy’s “Black Spot outbreak” eyes.

“Peggy, wake up.”

While speaking, Tang Qi ignited the “Spirit Seed” he had previously implanted in Peggy’s mind.

Long before the replacement, the first time their eyes met, Tang Qi had planted a Spiritual Mark inside Peggy’s mind’s depths with “Red.”

Now was the perfect time to awaken it.

“Buzz”

At the center of the “Black Spots” about to fill all space in her eyes, pale blue light burst forth.

A pair of eyes familiar to Noah and others appeared; the awakened Peggy seemed like she had just experienced a Beautiful Dream, somewhat dazed, as Tang Qi’s gentle voice reached her.

“Peggy, guide the new energy, expel the pollution.”

Subconsciously, Peggy followed the “guidance,” actively drawing the formidable power from the Titanic Stone, more vigorously than before, but the continuous pale blue Radiance, like an unstoppable tide, instantly washed over the Mechanical Body.

One after another, shining virus Black Spots silently extinguished. As the whiffs attached with “black rust” detached from Peggy’s body one by one, in an instant, a greatly transformed “Mechanical Body” appeared before everyone’s eyes.
