Chapter 431: Chapter 217: Thunder God Golem, Declaration of Glory and Power

Star Realm Calendar, Year 14529, April 3rd.

Wizard Tower, Stargazing Platform.

With a hum, a transparent Energy Force Field instantly spread out, only stopping in the empty space about half a meter from the Wizard Tower’s outer walls.

In an instant, the entire Wizard Tower was enveloped by an invisible Energy Force Field.

"Success!"

Looking at the fully formed Maze Locking Protective Energy Field, Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction.

This improved Large-scale Maze Locking Protective Energy Field had its defensive capabilities boosted by about 20%, while its energy consumption was reduced by roughly 10%. Its functionality had been enhanced by a wide margin.

The same was true for the completed medium-sized Floating Rings and Spell Towers.

Especially the Curse Pattern Cannon Towers, Pei Ze had focused on enhancing their attack power and range, increasing them by 30% and 50% respectively.

Their energy consumption, however, was about the same as before.

"Tower Spirit 1, report on the Wizard Tower’s status."

"Commencing self-diagnostic!"

"Scanning."

"Generating three-dimensional model."

"Scan complete."

The familiar three-dimensional model materialized out of thin air, though many of its details had already changed.

[Wizard Tower: Omniscience]

[Level: Medium (Enhanced)]

[Tower Spirit: 1]

[Facilities: Large-scale Element Pool (Enhanced), Stargazing Platform, Warehouse District, Experimental District, Practice District, Meditation District, Planting District...]

[Servants: None]

[Defensive System: Large-scale Maze Locking Protective Energy Field (Enhanced)]

[Combat System: Spell Tower (Enhanced) x150]

’The energy supply and combat systems are complete. All that’s left is the spatial planning.’

The various districts of the Wizard Tower were now all planned out.

Aside from necessary areas like the Warehouse District and Experimental District, Pei Ze had also set aside a Shadow Nest for Mo Ying to live in, as well as an Ancient Tree Plain for the Ancient Tree Deer Spirit Race and other Spirit Creatures.

’The framework is set. All that’s left is to fill in the details.’

Pei Ze estimated it would take another three or four months to complete.

’After that, all I’ll need is the Golem Legion, and the Wizard Tower will finally be complete.’

’The improved golem design, which incorporates the method for converting Prayerers, is also complete. I can begin manufacturing them once the Golem Factory is built.’

Pei Ze fell into a brief moment of thought.

’Building the Golem Factory isn’t hard. The materials are the hard part.’

During this period, he had successively commissioned the Travelers’ Association to sell four improved potion formulas, earning a total of over a million Magic Crystal Stones.

However, almost all of that money had been poured into the construction of the Wizard Tower.

He now had less than three hundred thousand Magic Crystal Stones on hand. By the time the tower’s various districts were built, there would be little left.

According to the improved golem design provided by the Eye of Omniscience, a single golem cost around eight thousand Magic Crystal Stones to manufacture.

’That’s a thousand Magic Crystal Stones more than a Supreme Golem!’

Of course, it was also far stronger than a Supreme Golem.

This new type of golem, which fused the Supreme Golem’s creation techniques with the conversion method for Prayerers, not only possessed an incredible physique comparable to a Dawn Star Knight but also had the ability to control Thunder Elemental Energy.

Simply put, it was equivalent to a Thunder Element Mage whose body had not yet become elemental.

Its combat capabilities completely crushed those of a Supreme Golem!

Although they had yet to be tested in actual combat, Pei Ze estimated that ten of the new golems working together could likely face an Elemental Mage with 10% or less elementalization head-on.

It was this formidable combat power, coupled with their incredible cost-effectiveness, that made Pei Ze completely abandon his previous plan to build a Golem Legion centered on Vajra Golems—a plan born from a lack of funds.

’Even if I don’t have enough funds now and can only make a few new golems, that’s fine. I’ll just save up slowly.’

’If I can build a massive legion of these new golems, the Wizard Tower’s combat strength will increase exponentially.’

’The remaining money is probably only enough to make ten new golems.’

Pei Ze shook his head, reined in his thoughts, and continued to devote himself to the construction of the Wizard Tower.

...

「More than three months passed in the blink of an eye.」

The construction of the Wizard Tower’s various districts went smoothly, finishing even faster than anticipated.

With that, the initial construction of the Wizard Tower was complete.

Pei Ze then immediately began building the Golem Factory and started producing the new model of golem.

「In a brightly lit workshop.」

A five-meter-tall humanoid body lay on a spacious workbench, its head, torso, and limbs all placed separately.

The body of a Golem Puppet could be crafted in separate pieces and assembled after all the work was complete.

After the Dark Age, due to the rise of bionics, the appearance of Golem Puppets was standardized, making their overall shape more human-like.

Only golems that relied purely on physical combat and possessed no spell-like abilities were fashioned into bestial forms, simply because it increased their combat effectiveness.

The appearances of most golems were quite similar.

Their faces were squarish, and they had no necks. Their chests were broad and powerful, with thick arms that hung down beside their knees. Their fingers were short and stubby but relatively nimble, while their legs were only a third of their body’s length, ending in wide, flat feet.

"Almost done."

Pei Ze finished the runic circuits on the final right leg. With a wave of his hand, the Silver Carving Knife that had been hovering in mid-air automatically fell back into its toolbox.

He then began to attach the golem’s limbs and head to its torso.

Once the assembly was finished, he patted the golem’s chest. With a soft CLICK, the chest panel opened, revealing an incredibly complex network of runes with a recess at its center.

Pei Ze placed the Soul Crystal Stone inside, and the recess automatically sealed itself.

The next moment, intricate golden patterns flared to life on the workshop’s walls. They spread rapidly along the floor toward the workbench, ultimately connecting to the golem.
