《Godmaker's Gem》Chapter 6. Stronger, Bigger, Not Better
Advertisement
I hit the floor with my palm, spreading my lines around myself in a 5-meter radius.
"Reconstruction. Spike. 5-meter lengths. "
I made the spike shout out at the very edge of my 'zone'.
The spike, that looked more like a spear, launched itself at a terrible fast speed, impaling the sucker who just hit me, in the leg,
He screamed in pain letting of his weapon.
Now that you are stuck and disarmed become SE for me!
"Reconstruction. Spike construct modification. New construct Spear. Lau-"
Before I could finish my sentence, two of the fastest ones came at me. Using some sort of equipment that shoot out flames there speed became faster than my eyes could follow.
Not that I need to.
My lines on the floor could sense their approach, like a spider through its web.
"Reconstruction, Stone Maiden, reverse."
Technically this was the same way I attacked the monster, it's just I put the spikes outside and not inside where I was hiding like a coward.
Any second now.
Boom!
[30 SE collected]
Only 30? Man, they are super weak! compared to that monster these guys don't worth anything.
I destroyed the wall, to see what happened.
Where is the other one?
There was only one body, holding what seemed to be an ax.
Hearing a strange sound, I looked up, locking my gaze with the other knight coming at me, it's too short sword ready.
Not good. I am borrowing this.
I tore out the weapon from the corps hand, using its handle to block the attack.
[New weapon equipped.]
[Transferring data to Ai…]
[Transfer Complete.]
[Axe wielding fighting style is now accessible.]
With newfound strength, I pushed him away.
"New target locked. Proceeding elimination."
"Oh yeah? Then come at me!"
The knight's voice was horribly distorted due to its helmet, so I was unable to tell if it was a he or a she.
He has two swords, while only have an ax. This is truly a situation that I am not a fan of. Think me think…Wait I can use this! I grabbed the body of the dead knight and raised it before me.
"What? Do you think, I won't attack if you use my friends' body as a shield?! Don't play with me!"
"Thought incorrect. Defense inefficient. Requiring further material. Reconstruction."
My lines spread all over the knight slowly destroyed and reconstructed its armor on my body.
[New materials detected.]
[Proceeding Reconstruction.]
When I was done the guy's armor was completely gone, shoving his bleeding body to everyone.
Me on the other hand had grown considerably. I now had a thick body, with those fire things on my back, not even mentioning the extra battery in my belly. There was even enough material to build another ax.
Oh, did I mention the extra arms?
Yeah, baby. from a pair of glasses, I became a giant with four arms!
[Reconstruction complete.]
[ All systems online.]
[Energy Capacity increased by 100%]
[Star Suit radio is now accessible]
Radio you say. I don't know what that is, but it sounds to be handy. Now then…
I raised one of my axes at my opponent.
"Preparations complete. Requesting a frontal assault from the opponent."
"…You want me to come at you?"
"Affirmative."
"…"
Is he surprised? Well in that case.
"Waiting time ended. The enemy did not attack. The unit commences frontal assault."
With my reinforced legs, I appeared right in front of him.
"Aaaa!"
He shouted in surprise, but it did little for him.

I swing my axes at him simultaneously.
Somehow he managed to block it, but he left his abdomen unprotected.
With my extra arms (Did I mention that I have two more?), I punched him in the stomach.
While he was gasping for air I grabbed his throat and lifted him up.
"Reconstruction."
Again, I deconstructed his armor and absorbed it into my body.
[New materials detected.]
[Proceeding Reconstruction.]
This one became identical to the one he was wearing acting like a second line of protection.
My extra arms (Did I mention that I have two more? They are awesome!) stayed unprotected.
Man, I am starting to feel heavy.
I threw away the now the armorless soldier, who was a woman with green hair, by the way, picked up her weapon with my extra hand, and looked around.
Not good. They are all preparing to attack me. Well, I did get some useful things, so I guess leaving now won't be that bad.
"Current situation disadvantageous. Starting tactical retreat. Recommendation. Do not follow."
[Activating propulsors.]
[Diverting energy from battery number 3.]
The fire thingies on my back turned alive and lifted me up into the air.
This so cool! And it is so easy is it an added bonus for my current body?"
I flew out of the building up in the sky.
The view was superb. A lush green forest with mountains peeking out from them as if they were islands on the vast ocean.
I am out. What now? I should first find a place to settle down to think this thing out. Is there a map or something in this suite?
[…Map function opened.]
Oh yes.
A screen opened in a corner of my vision showing me my environment.
Hmmm, I guess that the blue dot is me and the X-es are the locations that I am looking for. There is one nearby so I will check it out.
I flew there and soon something shiny appeared on the horizon on top of a mountain.
A metal box? What is it doing here?
I landed not too far from it.
As I saw, it was made from a strange metallic alloy. I went closer to it and I noticed that there was a metallic door there, but no handle.
Not like that will ever stop me.
I destroyed the door and entered the building. For safety, I rebuild it quickly
It seemed like this is some sort of shelter.
There were weapons, provisions, and bunk beds to sleep.
Looking around I noticed something standing in a corner.
It was a crude, humanoid figure, made from metal.
What is this?
[Analyzing object…]
[…Analysis complete.]
[Object is an outdated android built 30 years ago.]
[Chances of it working are incredibly low.]
An android you say. I just got an idea!
I approached the android and touched its chest.
"Reconstruction."
I transferred one of the batteries I had and my core, which resided in my head as a green gem, into the android.
But why would I give up on a super-strong, flying, frisking four-armed body?
It's because it's super big.
I mean this thing was made out of three different armors. It's huge, bulky, and super eye-catching. If in the future I want to go incognito, a smaller frame would be better.
But that those do not mean I will leave it like this. I am keeping my extra arms!
I safely transferred my consciousness to it. It took me some tries, and some rust cleaning by my power, but I managed to make this thing move.

Damn, I just noticed that this thing has only three fingers.
Then I touched my old body and took some things out of it.
I reinforced my body with' some metal I took from the outside of this thing then I turned to the extra arms.
[Model is incompatible with this type of upgrade.]
What? No, I am taking these arms with me!
[Model is incompatible with this type of upgrade.]
Hmmmmm fine.
I left the extra arms, and I continued my upgrades.
I decided that I will keep my old body as an armor. I remodified it so that my new body could fit in it. This caused my upper arms to become more bulkier and longer.
Then I took one of the batteries that looked like small black cubes with a faint blue hallo around it and changed it with this model's old one.
I also took the radio that seemed to perfectly work even in this body.
[Radio Connected.]
[Do you wish to use it?]
Wait a sec I want to look around to see if there is anything useful.
I took the weapons of the walls and I tried them out.
Hmmm, yeah, I prefer the ax. It's easier to use. is there oh hello my pretty!
It was a double-edged battle-ax with a long handle. It should have weighed a tone, yet I picked it up like nothing.
[New weapon equipped.]
[Transferring data to Ai…]
[Transfer Complete.]
[Battle ax fighting style is now accessible.]
Oh yeah, me like. And I also this "rifles". I can imagine using them whit my sub-hands.
The rifles were very interesting. A machine that fired a series of projectiles at a rapid speed. The only thing I had a problem with was ammunition, there was not much of it.
I might be able to make some if I figure out how it is made. For now, this much should be enough.
I even found a bright orange overall. Deciding that it would be better than being naked it out it on with some effort as the first clothing I ever had.
There is a name on it. Philip. Well sorry dude, but I am taking this. And your name. I am now Philip!
[… AI selected name Philip.]
[Setting username to Philip…]
[Alert.]
[Name can't be used.]
[Please try another one.]
Why? I can't even name myself now? This is bull crap!
Angrily turn on the radio. I will listen to I while I am working on my new armor.
There was an annoying noise for a second then a lot of voices were talking to each other.
By focusing, I managed to tune some of them out, listening to those who I found interesting.
'Here is Alpha, we are approaching target. Air reinforcement in place.'
'Roger that. Continue mission. Remember, target must be captured alive.'
'Roger and out.'
The two of them stopped talking, and the torrent of noises returned.
…I need to get out of here!
I rushed into the iron armor, grabbed my new ax with the two rifles.
Can't I catch a break? I just came back from the dead!
and busted out of the door, meeting several knights surrounding me, each holding a similar weapon as me.
Shit, I need to run!
[Propulsors activated.]
With a great shockwave, I rise into the air and start to fly. With my bigger body the third pair of propulsors were located at the bottom of my feet giving me an immense amount of speed.
Turn on the radio!
[Radio activated.]
'Command, this is Alpha. Target has escaped and is heading to North-East! Requesting reinforcements!
'Copy that. Sending reinforcements now.'
Shit! Shit! Shit! Go FASTER!
[Propulsors are set at maximum capacity.]
I think I just heard a huge bang when my speed increased.
'Command, target just passed the sound barrier and escaped. Requesting orders.'
'…Retreat. Reinforcements have been already closing in its location.'
What? I see no one! Shit.
"Reconstruction."
Since I "ate" three armors, I had 6 cameras like eyes, plus the two the android body had.
By moving two back of my head and two at the sides, now I could see in a 180-degree arc.
Nothing. Did they go in the wrong direction?
'Command, this is team Solomon. We are near the target requesting permission to strike.'
Near me?! I need to run!
'Strike allowed.'
Boom!
W-Where?!
An invisible force struck my back, pushing me down to the ground creating a huge crater.
[Unit integrity at 60%]
[Alert!]
[Left sub-arm been lost during impact.]
D-Damn it. So this is what physical pain feels like. I don't like it.
"Reconstruction."
I repaired the damaged parts as much as I could. My missing arm wasn't far away so I could put it back to its place quite easily.
I loved this extra arm! Whoever did this to me will pay dearly!
'Target been shout down on the ground. Landing to recover the target .'
Not even in your dreams!
"Reconstruction."
I spread out my lines around me, trying to sense my surroundings, while I acted like I was dead.
….
….
…Tap.
There!
"Spike X10."
I launched my attack all around the place I felt the enemy.
…No SE announcement, which means that it escaped it, or that it isn't wounded mortally.
I started to make my lined cray all over my spikes, to see if I had any catch.
"You know that we can fly right?"
Behind!
I immediately got unto my feet, the two rifles in my sub hand
Boom.
There was another invisible force that pushed, but this time I managed to block it with my ax.
"Ohhh, you managed to stop it! You are stronger than you look."
It was the same armored knight that I met at the ruins and the hideout, floating before my eyes.
No, it was different.
There was less armor on this one showing her feminine curves. Also, no propulsor on its back, but it managed to float.
It has a power, like me. Or that armor is far more developed than mine.
"… Target marked as an immediate danger. Proceeding elimination."
I need to kill her now, or she will be a pain in the future!
"My, how aggressive, but I am not your opponent. She is."
She?
Whit my eyes on the back of my hand, I saw another appear with a giant club in hand.
How did they appear here?
"Oooorrrraaaa!"
With the battle cry the knight, swing its, her if I believe the other words, at me with a force unfitting to its size.
I dogged the attack and swing my ax at her head.
Thing!
It ricocheted!
My attack didn't even leave a dent in her armor! what is it made of!
"You were right, this thing is strong! I can't wait to flatten him with my hammer!"
Weren't you supposed to take me alive?!
"New target locked. Target made from an unknown material. Processing new objectives. Eliminate target, then acquire equipment."
"Oh, you think that my armor is special. Then why don't you try and take it!"
Can I make my body stronger?
[By overloading the joints, unit can perform at 150% capacity.]
Then do it. And also…
"Reconstruction."
I applied my power to my entire body.
My joints, they are at the point of exploding! But whit this, I can keep them in check.
"New construct saved. New construct has been named: Body of Sparta."
I jumped at her with all my force. The ground got destroyed under my feet as I advanced.
This body is strong. But I need to become stronger!
My ax flew with a speed that made it seem like a blur. Pared with the strengths that I put in it, I wouldn't be surprised if it could a mountain in half.
Yet the knight easily blocked with her weapon.
Behind her back a gush of wind blew away the trees, completely destroying the terrain.
"…Is this the best you can do?"
I-I am dead.
