Cries of awe came one after another from the crowd. "By the Goddess above, Lord Kosso is truly mighty!!" "This... is this a Cyclops? No, this is an invincible steel giant!! Praise Lord Kachar, praise the City of Dawn!!" "This is Lord Kachar's servant. Only the great gods could possess such powerful subordinates. Praise be to Dawn!" "Unbelievable! I never thought I would witness such a scene in my lifetime. I can already imagine telling my grandson about this moment after he’s born." "This is insane! This armor must weigh a hundred times more than my house door!" Kosso’s seven-blade tall frame in full armor delivered a far more overwhelming impact than when he was bare-chested, wearing only beast hide shorts. This was a shock born of civilization. A steel behemoth! At this moment, Castro also began donning his armor. Although this primal king had no hands, he could cast all the spells Li De knew. Moreover, Castro was already Level 15 and had obtained the talent of Dual Casting. Two Mage Hands swiftly maneuvered the pieces of armor onto him. Having tried the armor countless times before, Castro was very familiar with the process and made no mistakes. Thus, a second steel behemoth appeared before Li De’s eyes. In full armor, Castro was even more eye-catching than Kosso, the steel giant. Because he was simply too domineering. His dark red wings were completely encased in black steel. Each bat wing was covered in feather-like steel plating, which reflected light in all directions under the sun, resembling a sky full of twinkling stars as each plate faced a slightly different angle. The armor closely fitted his body with a streamlined design, even more aerodynamic than Castro’s original physique. Before Li De could continue observing, Castro, eager to test his new gear, stomped his sharp claws into the ground and took flight with a powerful flap of his wings. A wild gale swept across the ground! The tremendous air currents forced the crowd to scatter backward as the violent wind raised by Castro stung the faces of those nearby. Swish, swish~ Flapping his bat wings, Castro soared into the sky. It was hard to imagine just how advanced the Dwarves' craftsmanship was. Despite the immense size of the armor clinging tightly to his body, it did not hinder this primal king’s flight in the slightest. He soared through the sky. Below, the crowd once again burst into waves of exclamations. Today, they had personally witnessed a giant beast, clad in heavy armor that even dozens of men might not be able to lift, take flight into the sky. The scene was simply too shocking. At that moment, standing behind Li De, Nilo, dressed in a pure white priest’s robe, seemed to recall something as she watched this scene unfold. Her light golden eyes, filled with majesty, blinked as she stepped forward. “Your Majesty.” Li De, who was enjoying Castro’s artistic flight through the sky, turned his head slightly upon hearing her voice. Looking at Nilo’s exquisitely beautiful face, he smiled gently. “Nilo, what is it?” He was in a very good mood at this moment. Though the armors for Kosso and Castro had cost a full 100,000 Gold Pucks to forge. One hundred thousand Gold Pucks! Even a mid-tier noble might not have such wealth accumulated in their entire life. Yet, simply looking at these two suits of armor was enough to sense their immense power, and the level to which these two giants' combat capabilities had been elevated by wearing them was something even Li De couldn’t estimate. Money is like dirt, only when it’s spent does it count. Nilo hesitated slightly, then raised the thin oak staff in her hand. Li De looked at the staff, clearly freshly cut from a tree, about one blade long and as thick as three thumbs together, feeling somewhat puzzled. Seeing Li De’s confused gaze, the girl began to explain. “A few days ago, while I was helping a female believer change class into a Dawn Priest, I accidentally infused a portion of faith energy into this oak staff, and then...” Nilo’s expression showed a hint of amazement. “Then this dry staff, which had been cut down last year, began to sprout again.” ??? Li De was stunned hearing this. This staff was from last year?? Looking at the vibrant green buds still growing on the staff, his eyes were filled with disbelief. “You mean this staff was cut from the tree long ago? And the faith energy actually restored its vitality and made it sprout again?” Nilo nodded firmly. “That’s right, Your Majesty. The faith energy you granted me is truly miraculous, possessing indescribable power. To test it further, I infused faith energy into other dried branches, and they too sprouted. It seems that faith energy contains powerful life energy.” Li De’s eyes gradually lit up, very intrigued by this. His gaze burned as he looked at his Holy Priest. This girl truly was his lucky star. All this time, he had never discovered any additional uses for faith energy. Yet it hadn’t been long, and Nilo had already uncovered something new. “Nilo, very well done. Have you discovered any other uses for faith energy?” Nilo smiled slightly and nodded with certainty. “Of course. This is your power; it holds endless possibilities. It can not only make dead trees sprout but even allows injured animals to recover quickly. Most importantly, when faith energy is infused into weapons, it seems to enhance both their durability and sharpness.” Hmm?? Upon hearing this, Li De’s eyes instantly widened. Faith energy had this kind of use??? Because faith energy was too advanced, he had no starting point for researching it. It was like trying to study a spaceship during the Stone Age, not even knowing where to begin. So up to now, his research on faith energy had been zero. Even his studies had been limited to how to cast divine spells and how to increase combat power. The idea of infusing faith energy into plants, animals, or weapons had never even crossed his mind. His previously rigid thinking had limited many possibilities. He had simply never thought that faith energy could have impressive applications outside of combat. Today, Nilo had truly given him a huge surprise. “So, your idea is?” “I was thinking, perhaps we could try using faith energy to enhance these two suits of armor that we have poured countless precious materials into forging.” Nilo’s expression was somewhat uncertain, her eyes seeking Li De’s opinion. Although 100,000 Gold Pucks was an astronomical figure that could make anyone tremble, in comparison, faith energy might not be any less valuable. After all, this was divine power. Infusing faith energy into armor was equivalent to having the power of the gods reforging the armor. Castro’s ability to perfectly inherit both the Bronze Cyclops and Vampire Progenitor bloodlines was largely thanks to faith energy. Without faith energy, this primal king might never have even been born. This was power that only gods could wield. And Li De was now truly a god, though one with the word ‘pseudo’ in front of it. Given the size of these two armors, even the faith energy he had accumulated over more than a month might not be enough to achieve the desired effect. That was why Nilo didn’t dare make the decision herself before Li De. Li De, however, had far fewer scruples. His eyes flashed with a hint of contemplation, and after a moment, he slowly nodded. “Then let’s give it a try.” In a situation like this, if he didn’t try, he wouldn’t be Li De.
