Versatile: Alternate World

Because of this development, I wanted to prepare for our raid on the Golem Factory. One thing I knew is that it will become a very hard battle as the golems are too numerous there and they will not run out so easily of golems to use. And since they don't run on electricity and they have their own fuel built-in, there was not an existing Main Shut Down button for them to stop them from functioning. Anyone who wanted to stop them from functioning completely, they have to destroy the golems one by one.

I wanted to bring my followers to this fight but I am keeping them until the final battle as the Pope is the unknown enemy that the rebels will face in the end. Without any information about him, I have to keep all of my trump cards in check. Sure, some players already knew that I have followers but no one has seen all of them and that is a good thing. The lesser people know, the better.

The first thing I did is go to a secluded area in the forest. I asked the dragon for permission to use part of the cave he is living in and thankfully, he didn't mind as long as we talk from time to time and eat food.

And so, my project to ease the burden of my battles begins.

You guys might be asking what I am trying to make. For starters, remember the golem that I have taken from the Spire during the final battle against the cult? I am finally going to repair and use it for myself. I know that it was an ancient golem but compared to the golems in the current era, the golems in the ancient ruins and the spire are much stronger than the golems I see. Seeing that the angels have the habit of not looking back into the past and ignoring everything that happened before, they don't know how strong the golems that are present in the previous era are.

I mean, why would we struggle in ruins against these guys? Because they are just built differently.

Anyways, thanks to one of the tinkering people back in the past, especially the dwarf race that will be added soon, players who like to tinker on these chunks of giant metals have shown me how to use these golems and use them for our own advantage.

As I bring down the golem parts on the ground, the dragon got curious about what I am doing.

"Aren't those the Ancient Defense Golems that are present during the previous era? I didn't expect to see a still-intact one. What are you planning on it? Are you fixing it up?"

"Yep. I will need the aid of this guy on our upcoming raid."

"Are you sure? From what I recall, these guys have now turned into dangerous enemies that venturing into areas it was guarding will incite its attack on any intruder."

"Not a big problem. I have a method to fix that. But first, I have to fix this guy and repair some of this pal's damaged parts. I also will add some other features that will be beneficial for me since its normal features are rather kinda dull, you know?" I smirked.

"Haha, I agree with you, their designs are too simplistic and dull but it's for better access I guess. Also, the lesser things they have, the easier their little brain will be able to operate. That's what my master said when explaining why they have simple designs."

"Ha, bet those guys are lazy or just they don't have much idea what to add. Anyways, time to get to work."

And so, I started to write a blueprint using the Saboteur class. I can use it to materialize another of these golems but perhaps if I messed up then I would try making one here instead. Anyways, I started to dismantle the golem, and for every part, I dismantle, I added to the blueprint. It was a big golem so sometimes, I have to ask the dragon to help me with taking it apart. I am still surprised though that despite the strength of the dragon, the golem did not break.

A few hours passed by until I finished the dismantling process. Despite its simplistic design on the outside, the design inside is complex and even if I have a good memory memorize, this is not gonna help me memorize which part is which without the blueprint.

"I must admit, I underestimated the simplistic design of the people back in the day. Who would have thought this golem had some weird designs and weird complex parts in its body," even the dragon was surprised.

"Didn't you say you know this thing?" I asked.

"Of course I do. But it's not like I go around destroying stuff. I have not participated in dismantling this thing either so this is the first time I have seen this thing getting dismantled to parts."

There are some parts that are damaged during the last fight I did with this. It's not that bad but repairing it before it gets bad is much better to do so rather than letting it leave like that which will result in it being a big weakness that will eventually destroy this big boy here.

The repairs are easy and not that hard thanks to my smithing skills and handling metals are my expertise now. So repairing them is much easier than I thought they should be. But sadly, it costs a lot of materials to repair the damages to repair it partially. I must say this golem is such a materially hungry thing.

Anyways, it took me a few times until most of them are repaired. But sadly, not all of the parts are repaired which sucks as I lack a few components so I have to go farm it up.

"Where are you going?" the dragon asked seeing I am leaving the cave while drawing the weapon in my back.

"I need to procure more materials. I am running short of having this guy eat lots of my stored metals."

"You need more materials, I am your guy. I have plenty of junk in my secret stash that you might be able to use. Some of them are from the golems I destroyed so maybe you can find something interesting there."

He then led me to an area of the cave I didn't notice until he directed me to it. It was like a small room for the dragon but a massive one for me. Inside are various metal scraps from the golems. There are also some treasures here and there plus the usual gold pile. However, I am not attracted to the treasures he has as I have plenty of that in me. What I needed are more scraps, not gold.

But among the pile of scraps, I found something that can be a potential item I can add to this guy. And since I am free to take this stuff, time to enhance the golem's capabilities and make sure it will work. It's almost time to unleash trouble to them all.
