Doomsday Roulette

Many times, the warriors of the Temple of Dawn had the illusion that victory was within their grasp, that the army of the posthumous children was on the verge of collapse.

But every time this feeling arose, the enemy would present something new.

Previously, it was reinforcements from Earth, the heavy infantry of the posthumous children, and two massive metal combat machines resembling small mountains.

Now, as that feeling emerged again, something new appeared once more.

This sensation drove them a bit mad.

It wasn't just because of the feeling of being "played with," but also a sense of helplessness against what seemed like an endless reserve of the enemy's backup troops.

This time, the newcomers were some monsters.

At least, that was how the people of the Temple of Dawn perceived it.

Cloud Summit had prepared many means for the ninth level Holy Father, and so far, they hadn't used any of them, not even the war fortress, especially these two unmodified machines.

But was Cloud Summit only preparing a few hidden cards for the ninth level Holy Father?

It was clearly impossible; their ultimate goal was to crush the Temple of Dawn and occupy the secret realm. The Holy Father was just the strongest part of that goal, while the rest consisted of the vast army of the sanctuary.

Cloud Summit would naturally not neglect or ignore them.

Regular weaponry was only part of Cloud Summit's preparations, while using low-level Evolution Potions for the posthumous children to consume in large quantities was also a conventional means to enhance combat power.

In addition to that, Cloud Summit had hidden reserves.

Little Tiger's cavalry units were one, and the gene troops were another.

Le Da Yuan's magic crystal weapon laboratory produced results that seemed to appear every day. Even if there weren't major developments, minor modifications were always present. These changes could gradually enhance Cloud Summit's combat power, leading to a major breakthrough with the magic crystal weapons after some time, thus refreshing and upgrading them.

These technological improvements were thanks to Ye Zhongming, as he subtly imparted some designs and concepts from his previous life to Le Da Yuan.

With these concepts, Le Da Yuan was able to build upon them, demonstrating his own intelligence, innovating continuously, and achieving the capability to modify nuclear weapons like the war fortress today.

Le Da Yuan had actually surpassed the field he previously worked in and started to explore higher and broader domains.

In contrast, Liu Zhenghong's life gene laboratory had not been as prominent lately, at least without any groundbreaking products making a splash.

Ye Zhongming definitely couldn't offer the same advice in technology or concepts as with the magic crystal weapons, and he even had to manage Liu Zhenghong to prevent her from following the path of "murderous red" from her past life.

However, in other aspects, Ye Zhongming fully supported Liu Zhenghong and her laboratory, providing anything they needed, searching the world for materials and talents in specific fields.

Especially after the destruction of the divine hall's branch, they received a wealth of data that could alleviate the limitations in Liu Zhenghong's research.

From any angle, the life gene laboratory was not inferior to the magic crystal weapon laboratory.

But why did many people feel that the former lagged behind the latter?

There were reasons for this.

One aspect was that once the weapons from the magic crystal weapon laboratory were developed, a set of manufacturing processes personally written by Le Da Yuan would emerge. Following those processes and with the help of Ye Zhongming, an outstanding craftsman, modified or entirely new weapons could be produced in large quantities and delivered to Cloud Summit's troops.

Naturally, this large-scale production was relative; the absolute number was not much due to sales bans and technical barriers, leaving other forces only able to admire from afar with envy.

But the gene laboratory was different; their specialization was too strong. Each gene warrior required professional personnel to be present at all times for supervision and tuning from cultivation to maturation. This accumulation of knowledge in their minds could not be replaced by the quick results of evolution levels or professions in the apocalypse.
