Chapter 577: Chapter 327: Launching the War God Chessboard_2

It’s pretty useful. The Thunder Guards themselves are already quite powerful, capable of extreme rage, and, with the amplification of the Thunder Power, they might even be able to duel Luther one-on-one.

There are twelve Thunder Guards here. If each one has the strength of Luther, that’s equivalent to twelve High-level Sword Saints, a formidable strength indeed.

After scolding the dwarves who were recklessly smashing things, Copper Hammer led everyone into the War God’s Chessboard.

Upon entering the War God’s Chessboard, Ange was immediately struck by a sense of familiarity.

“Doesn’t it feels like a larger version of the Illusion Simulation Formation?” whispered Negris.

Indeed, it did. Ange bought several Simulated Magic Formations from Auburnli. One of them was kept inside the Temple of Rest, and you could play simply by reaching your hand in.

Ange first simulated in the formation. After a successful simulation, they would grow the real thing, accelerate its growth with the Instant Death Halo, and then import the growth data into the formation for the next simulation.

In this way, the data in the Simulated Magic Formation was updated very quickly. The druids of Stellaris Academy accumulated data on an annual basis, but he did it on a daily basis, yielding significantly more targeted results.

He has already simulated the growth environment of Divine Wood, Elf Beans, and God Flowers in the formation, and made a new discovery: grinding the withered Divine Wood into powder and mixing it in small quantities into the fungal mats could dramatically increase the yield of sacred mushrooms.

The War God’s Chessboard before him, looked like a larger version of the Illusion Simulation Formation. The flat ground was divided into square blocks by lines. If derived from his experience with Simulation Formations, once activated, all sorts of terrain scale maps would appear here.

Copper Hammer, unaware that Ange had seen through the War God’s Chessboard at a glance, assumed they had never seen one before, and took it upon himself to explain: “This is the War God’s Chessboard. Here, you can select different terrains, climates, and army strength to carry out battle chess simulations. You can simulate individually, fight against each other, or team up to compete. ”

He pointed to some circular arrays at the edge and continued, “Stand there to enter the battlefield.”

After the introduction, Copper Hammer sighed regretfully, “But since eleven hundred years ago, the War God’s Chessboard has not been able to start. At that time, my grandfather was still in power. He dispatched our best dwarf craftsmen and even invited human Alchemists and Goblin artisans to study it, but they could not find the cause.”

“So, Your Majesty Copper Hammer, you’ve never been able to start the War God’s Chessboard, have you?” Anthony asked.

“Yes. If you can find a way to start it, I’d be very happy,” replied Copper Hammer.

“Well, we need to study it first,” said Anthony, looking disheartened.

Frankly, Anthony felt they had been shortchanged. These dwarves weren’t straight-up, especially this Copper Hammer, trading several carts of fine wine just for something they couldn’t even start.

Once started, they had to watch it with these dwarves, meaning they paid a hefty price for the wine and might be able to view some previously inaccessible playback records.

Bada, shouldn’t they be the ones to pay instead?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If the dwarf asked someone to repair the War God’s Chessboard, payment would be obligatory. Regardless of the results, if someone comes to work, they have to be paid, covering food, transportation, and dismantling costs. If an assistant is brought in, then the payment must be made for two persons.

Now it was the other way around. They spent money, put in effort, and paid in kind to help the dwarves repair something. It was a lose-lose situation.

It was their own agreement, and even with tears in their eyes, they had to give it a try. Anthony pulled Ange aside and began discussing with Negris and Durken, who were projecting onto Ange.

“How is it? Do you understand? Are you confident you can fix it?” inquired Anthony.

Negris remained silent. For such things, Durken was the professional. Negris dared to make comments when Durken was not around because even if he made mistakes, no one would know. Now, he didn’t dare; he would be called out on the spot.

“This is too easy. Isn’t it just an Illusion Magic Array? If there are materials, I can even build a new one. Let’s go check the core.” Durken chimed in.

For an Alchemist who built both the World Transfer Station and the Temple of Rest, the War God’s Chessboard was indeed not a challenge. Looking at the core, he identified the issue at once.

“The Driving Core is missing,” Durken stated.

“Driving Core?” Anthony exclaimed, turning to Copper Hammer in the distance, “Your Majesty Copper Hammer, where did the Driving Core go?”

Copper Hammer, who was holding the head of the Thunder Guard who had smashed his statue and twisting his pointer knuckle against his forehead, responded without looking back: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, everything is in its original place.”

Alright, there was clearly no help to be gained from the dwarves here. They would have to rely on themselves.

After examining the vacant core position for a while, Durken concluded, “Any Mechanical Construct, magic building, Teleportation Array, etc., requires a source of energy, which is the Driving Core.”

“The World Transfer Station I set up has several driving modes, which are the Demon Crystal, Soul Crystal, or directly using Soul Energy, so there are multiple cores for redundancy. If one fails, other modes can be used to drive it.”

“This Illusion Magic Array is not so advanced. It has a single drive nucleus and a single energy source. If it loses its only energy source, it can’t start. After examining these divine scripts and energy circuits, the energy source should be Power of Faith, also known as Divine Power, Faith Elemental Force, and the likes.”
