System: My Doomsday Train Chapter 980 - 367: Maxed-Out Armor

Worth noting!

Upgrading the "Armor" demands far more resources than boosting a standard "Seven-color Level component."

Yet, the Murphy Stone required for the "Armor" upgrade turns out to be less than what's needed for a regular "Seven-color Level component."

For a Seven-color Level component,

reaching level 10000 would devour even greater amounts of Murphy Stone.

Immediately after,

additional panels across the control console screen started flashing too.

-

"Human Civilization claims the first max-level 'Wagon Steel Armor' component in the universe. It auto-upgrades to 'Holy Hall' level."

"Thus, it unlocks the Civilization Wonder: 'Miracle Descent'."

-

"Wagon Steel Armor Lv10000 Supermodel Effect: Resists assaults from every dimension in this universe, with enormous strength boosts."

-

"..."

Chen Mang eyed the two panels displayed on the console screen.

Everything unfolded just as anticipated.

Human Civilization had indeed pioneered maxing out "Wagon Steel Armor," triggering its automatic promotion to "Holy Hall" level.

Now, the armor's grade prefix read:

"Holy Hall Green Level."

Holy Hall.

A supremely rare grade, scarcer than Gray Level, possibly existing in mere single or double digits universe-wide.

Exclusively granted when a component hits max level for the first time ever.

It boasts total uniqueness.

Only one entity can possess it.

Upon attaining Holy Hall level, all attributes skyrocket explosively.

For "Armor," this translates to vastly superior defense and an exclusive "Holy Hall Supermodel Effect."

-

"Wagon Steel Armor 'Holy Hall' Supermodel Effect: Absolute Defense."

-

Merely four stark words.

Signifying his complete entry into the path of invincibility.

Starting today!

He would eradicate other civilizations; none could threaten his anymore.

The gap to victory wasn't luck anymore, just time.

Given sufficient time, triumph would come effortlessly like sipping water, with zero risk of early demise. No one could slay him.

Except...

Unless he ditched the "Hell Set," exited the Constant Star Train to roam unprotected, or got a wife kidnapped by foes, compelling him to remove the Hell Set and venture out solo for talks.

Otherwise, he couldn't fathom any death scenario.

This realization prompted a crucial thought.

The Constant Star Train's outer defenses were already nigh impregnable, so focus should shift inward. Many fortresses crumble from within; such vulnerabilities must be eliminated entirely.

...

With everything wrapped up,

Chen Mang sank into his chair, exhaling deeply.

172 heritage units of iron ore remained.

Suddenly, he felt strikingly poor.

Uncertain even on spending it wisely. Stockpiling more iron ore to max every train component at level 10000 would achieve near-perfection. Upon hitting Divine-level Civilization, he'd plunder rival databases, letting Qi Kexiu research freely.

Replace all components with ultimate Supermodel Effects.

Then, total completion.

For the moment...

He chose to conserve this iron ore. Reserves were vital for navigation and assaults.

...

Seven days passed.

The Constant Star Train underwent full refurbishment.

Ai's voice echoed inside the train right then.

"Wormhole constructed. Jump initiates in 10 seconds. 10, 9, 8..."

He'd elevated the "wormhole generator" from level 500 to 2000.

This extended wormhole range dramatically, up to 100 million light-years max.

Allowing skips across multiple Nia Star Systems and over the trailing "Cosmic Void." Naturally, such wormholes carried steep costs.

Level 2000 demanded 60 trillion iron ore units total.

Equaling 0.6 heritage units.

Less than one full heritage unit.

Yet it yielded two Supermodel Effects.

-

"wormhole generator Lv1000 Supermodel Effect: Sharply cuts Wormhole creation costs, boosting stability to 100%."

"wormhole generator Lv2000 Supermodel Effect: None."

-

The Supermodel Effect proved solid.

A 100 million light-year Wormhole, targeted at Rough Civilization's heart, cost just 1.2 heritage units of iron ore.

A bargain price.

...

Ten seconds flew by.

Jump concluded.

A mundane Wormhole materialized in Rough Civilization's core, from which the colossal armored train emerged steadily. No nearby markers, planets thinly scattered.

Even centrally, White Zones abounded.

This was one.

Totally overlooked.

Neither radar nor eyes detected them. Infiltration was stealth incarnate.

This oddly shaped civilization—Rough Civilization.

"So, this is Rough Civilization?"

Chen Mang lounged in the compartment, scanning the Doppler Radar map. Detection now spanned 100 million light-years.

In Nia Star System days, radar marked this as Rough turf, but visibility was partial. Now, deep in core yet edges unseen, territory stretched at least 200-300 million light-years.

Level 2000 radar felt strained.

Time for level 5000.

He checked resources.

After brief deliberation, 100 heritage units of iron ore went up in flames to hoist "Doppler Radar" to level 5000, snagging its Supermodel Effect!

-

"Doppler Radar Lv5000 Supermodel Effect: Detection range explodes outward, seizing every anomaly in range. Demands Train Assistance AI with top-tier compute—at least level 2000 AI."

-

"Hmm..."

Chen Mang arched a brow faintly. The level 5000 Supermodel Effect appeared underwhelming—mere range boost plus anomaly detection.

What defined abnormal behavior?

It evoked something like...

Hold on?

He paused, glancing at the strange map beside. Why had the Doppler display turned utterly alien?

Detection leaped from 100 million to... 1 trillion light-years?

A jump of...

Ten thousandfold?

Holy shit...

Suddenly, "detection range massively expanded" clicked into true meaning!

Insanely potent!

Finally, Rough Civilization's full expanse lay bare.

-

"Doppler Radar Lv5000 Supermodel Effect: Detection range is massively expanded, and it can capture all abnormal behavior within the detection range. Requires the Train Assistance AI to have extremely high computing power, at least level 2000 AI."

-

"Hmm..."

Chen Mang raised an eyebrow slightly. This level 5000 Supermodel Effect seemed kind of mediocre—just increased the detection range and added the ability to capture all abnormal behavior within that range.

What counts as abnormal behavior?

It sounded kind of like...

Wait?

He froze for a moment and looked at the unfamiliar map on the adjacent screen. Why did the image on the Doppler map suddenly look so unfamiliar?

His detection range had gone from 100 million light-years to... 1 trillion light-years?

It had increased by...

Ten thousand times?

Holy shit...

He suddenly started to understand what "detection range massively expanded" really meant!

This was a bit insane!

And he was finally seeing the full scope of the Rough Civilization’s territory.

"Doppler Radar Lv5000 Supermodel Effect: Detection range is massively expanded, and it can capture all abnormal behavior within the detection range. Requires the Train Assistance AI to have extremely high computing power, at least level 2000 AI."
