Chapter 1377: The Northern and Southern War (IX)
The Steam Guard series was a line of war machines developed by the Steam Evangelical Sect. It came in multiple models, with the Type-4 Steam Guard being the highest individual unit, also known as the Steam Consul.Following Robert’s command, a horizontal dimensional gate appeared in the sky above the battlefield, its exit aimed directly at the ground below.
Rahu rose from beneath the earth, while the Steam Consul descended from the heavens.
A massive metal container dropped from the dimensional gate, crashing down like a meteor and smashing a crater over 5 kilometers in diameter.
The four sides of the container burst open and slammed onto the ground, releasing a dazzling white light. Inside, one could faintly see a slightly smaller metallic cube, its surface engraved with patterns resembling metal circuitry, inlaid with unknown gems.
The massive cube suddenly split into countless smaller cubes, hovering midair before rearranging and twisting into new forms, ultimately assembling into a towering steel giant.
It was the Steam Consul.
In a sense, the Steam Consul resembled a Martial Arts Practitioner. Critical points throughout its body were fitted with Steam Power Cores, much like how a Martial Arts Practitioner uses acupoints and body spirits to control the entire body.
The Steam Consul was equipped with 12 Steam Power Cores, located at the head, heart, lower abdomen, hips, shoulders, elbows, knees, and feet, granting it a perfectly balanced structure where each part could act independently. In other words, to completely disable it, all 12 cores would have to be destroyed.
Almost at the same time, Rahu, who had just summoned the meteor firestorm, noticed the steel behemoth.
With a furious roar, Rahu charged straight toward the Steam Consul, shattering the ground and obliterating buildings along its path.
The Steam Consul did not yield, colliding head-on with Rahu.
