Overgeared

Grid didn’t realize the performance of the magic machines. It was due to a lack of inspiration. The magic machines’ detailed stats were only available to the riders.

It was a natural structure. In the first place, the rider was the one who determined the detailed stats of the magic machines. This was why Zibal was so special. It was also the cause of the marked difference in performance between the Raiders implemented by Grid through Item Transformation and the Raiders who was directly controlled by Zibal. This meant the creator could only measure the potential of the magic machine they made through the armaments, output, durability, size, structure, etc. It was purely the responsibility of the controller to derive and utilize that potential.

It was easy when thinking of robot animations. Weren’t there separate robot makers and the pilots who controlled them in cartoons? For magic machines, the position of Grid was a doctor. Doctor Grid.

‘Raiders, which is reproduced through Item Transformation, is weak.’

The God Hand Raiders was the same model as Zibal’s Raiders. It was the Raiders that had been analyzed and strengthened by Grid. However, the AI of the God Hands couldn’t utilize Raiders’ capabilities to 100%. Despite knowing this fact, Grid often transformed the God Hands into Raiders because it was useful in certain situations. Above all, he had lingering feelings.

Grid hadn’t forgotten. The power of Raiders, whose soul was adjusted and controlled by Braham during the Demon King Subjugation. The outstanding performance of Zibal, who went crazy—very briefly—in the Great Human and Demon War. This was why he had been obsessed with the power of the magic machines even though he couldn’t accurately feel it.

‘It would be more comfortable if I controlled the magic machine myself.’

Grid didn’t qualify as a rider. He could grab, pick up, or swing the magic machine by hand, but he couldn’t control it. Sitting in the cockpit was like wearing large armor.

‘...It wouldn’t make sense even if I controlled it.’

Grid had a strong ally called Radwolf. Raiders could’ve been modified so that Grid could control it, but Grid didn’t ask for this. Sitting in the cockpit of the magic machine sealed his own strength. Grid was much stronger than Raiders’ maximum output. Additionally, most of his existing skills were disabled when riding a magic machine. Instead, the magic machine’s unique skills were activated. This was naturally a loss for Grid.

In fact, the tower members also used the magic machines as auxiliary weapons. It was the same even though Radwolf’s magic machines were made with moon night iron.

In the end, there was only one conclusion. Maximize the magic machine’s own performance as much as possible. It would be ridiculously powerful even if the God Hands utilized only ‘some’ of the functions of the magic machine.

It was just as he had been thinking about this.

“......”

He encountered the red magic machine.

Trauka—a secret weapon made by the ancient giants for the purpose of killing the gods. The specs themselves were superior to the other magic machines. It wasn’t far inferior to Grid in terms of power and speed.

The sea was split apart and joined back together repeatedly. Due to the water soaring high into the sky and the series of whirlpools, the depth of the sea became shallower.

Grid and Trauka collided without a break in the sea and in the sky. They crossed the horizon and sometimes turned all the uninhabited islands that their feet touched into powder. The violent battle even stimulated underwater volcanoes. The flames that rose from the depths of the sea were soaked in the sea water pouring down like rain, creating thick smoke. It was mixed with volcanic ash and thoroughly blocked Grid’s view.
