Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 36 Clockwork Demon or Frankenstein's Monster

Hextech Core II, Core Codename: Clockwork Spirit.

In Piltover’s diverse shopping streets, there is a workshop belonging to the famous inventor Colin Levik.

He is best known for his craftsmanship in making exquisite prosthetics. Colin uses intricate and clever brass components to create prosthetics that are so beautiful that they often surpass the original body.

In addition to the prosthetic technology from the Project universe, Oran also knew about Colin's technology, which was the medical fee Oran received to treat his daughter, Orianna.

The timeline changed because of Oran's existence. Valoran lost a hero named Clockwork Spirit, but gained a happier family.

Orianna's talent in clockwork mechanics is no less than her father's. Her body has changed, but her inspiration remains. This off-body core manipulation method is one of Orianna's ideas.

And on this vast ocean, this idea was truly realized.

Sizzle~ Sizzle!

A violent surge of electricity coursed through the laboratory, making a far greater commotion than the birth of Blitzcrank.

Oran himself always wore an exoskeleton, and Kate, after undergoing heart modifications, also developed a special tolerance to electric current, so neither of them were affected.

However, Blitz, being made of pure metal, instinctively stepped forward, using his body to block the current and absorbing the excess power into his own body.

This situation did not last long. After a brief period of frenzy, the energy seemed to find its place, eventually gathering on the still-unawakened machine on the experimental table.

The machine originally had a special horn on its head, but now it was acting like a lightning rod, constantly attracting the current released from the core.

At roughly the same level as the ears at the back of the head is a special cylinder, designed to receive external signals and regulate the body's energy flow.

boom!

After the current was transferred to the new body, the surrounding equipment emitted plumes of black smoke because it could not withstand the energy.

The once-precise instruments and flickering data screens became distorted and chaotic under the sudden surge of electric current.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt electronics, as if it were the last lament of an electronic soul.

The lights in the room suddenly went out, and the wires on the wall twisted and swelled like an enraged swarm of snakes, their outer insulation charred by the high temperature, revealing sparks flickering inside.

These sparks danced in the darkness, forming blinding beams of light that shone on Oran's face. However, Oran did not panic; a faint smile could even be seen on the corner of his mouth.

In the center of the laboratory, the newly completed robot stood quietly, its bionic metallic skin still showing flickering electric currents, and its previously closed eyes were now open.

"Fran Kensstein?"

"That's right, your name is Frankenstein."

Unlike Blitz, Frankenstein, as the first Hextech II machine, has some unexpected features, such as its yellow and blue pupils, which were not in Oran's design, and its voice system seems to have some problems when activated.

"Fran, Dad, Brother, and Sister?"

Her gaze swept over Oran and the others, her voice barely audible, as she absorbed everything about the world around her.

"Blitz welcomes you, family."

"Meows too~"

According to Blitz's current line of thinking, Oran is his creator, and can be considered to have the same meaning as the word "father." As the earlier-born machine, he is naturally the older brother.

As for her sister, Kate's modified heart is somewhat related, but she can't be considered her biological sister.

The words of approval she heard stirred a flicker of emotion in Frankenstein's eyes. Looking at Oran's outstretched hand, she tentatively placed her own hand in his, her ignorance of the outside world making her slightly cautious.

Unlike Blitz's complete logical view, Frankenstein's cognition of some things is more like that of a newborn infant, with part of the program recorded in his body damaged and what remains are fragmented memories.

Oran then conducted some simple tests in the damaged room and drew some preliminary conclusions.

[The language system appears to be slightly damaged, but logical thinking is relatively clear. However, this time it seems like they've inadvertently produced something different.]

Experiments are random and accidental, and sometimes unexpected things will happen. In history, many things have been born out of chance.

Since Blitzcrank and Frankenstein were both first-generation machines, Oran did not upgrade them with the final emotion module. The emotions Blitzcrank currently exhibits are derived from his own compilation and are slightly different from true emotions.

However, with the fusion of the Devil Fruit and the Hextech II core, Frankenstein seems to have developed special emotions.

[The logical cognition part needs to be restructured; further study is required.]

Although Oran's control remains intact, if his mindset is not properly cultivated, unexpected problems may arise when he carries out missions in the future.

Frankenstein was touching the damaged equipment, gradually sensing the outside world in this way. During this process, Warhammer remained by her side; it was her core, and the two could not be separated for long.

In Oran's design, Frankenstein's machine also has an energy storage device inside. After the electrical energy is exhausted, it can even be manually powered by a clockwork mechanism. However, in Frankenstein's mind, staying close to the core is as natural as breathing.

"Orlan, what's her Devil Fruit ability? Didn't you fuse a Devil Fruit within your core? How does it compare to Kuma's?"

"The specific effects haven't been tested yet, but according to the records in the encyclopedia, that fruit is a Paramecia-type Accumulate-Accumulate Fruit, which can absorb intangible energy to restore its own body. I wonder what kind of effect it will achieve after fusion."

The records in the encyclopedia are often only a part. Not all users can use all the abilities of a Devil Fruit, and many abilities are not recorded at all. It is already a good thing to be able to get a recorded Devil Fruit to study.

"Kate, get ready, we're going to have a live-fire exercise with Frankenstein in a bit."

"Okay, I'll leave it to Meow. Meow will go prepare the test site now."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Siddiel Oran, I never thought you'd make a mistake in your experiment. Look at this mess, it's really embarrassing."

Before Kate had even left, several figures appeared from the half-open laboratory door, and Caesar strode in with unusually arrogant steps.

"According to MADS rules, the allocation of funds is determined by the competition of experimental results. Siddi Lil, I challenge you!"

"Caesar Courant, I think you're asking for a beating."

Kate rolled up her sleeves, ready to take care of this guy for Oran, but this time Caesar didn't back down. Instead, he took a step forward and unusually made a provocative expression.
