So the asure of the combat power of the Extraordinary is more just a general standard. They indeed have levels, but the boundaries between these levels are not distinct and are not insurmountable.
Even a mighty title Knight can be killed by mortals if the conditions are t.
"Actually, the Empire has another Legend, but her power has been damaged, and she currently cannot exert her Legendary level strength," Perfikot thought for a mont before revealing the existence of Weir to everyone: "Lady Sanderion, the president of the Empire Alchemist Association a hundred years ago, is still alive, but she was cursed by an Evil God, causing her life’s state to revert to infancy and greatly limiting her power."
"Master Sanderion? Is she really still alive?" The first to express shock at this matter was actually Her Majesty the Empress, who said in a very surprised tone, "After what happened back then, I thought everyone was dead. I thought the Empire’s Legendary Guardians had all perished."
From the Empress’s words, Perfikot clearly understood one thing: the Royal Family was aware of what happened back then.
"It’s easy to understand. After all, for a Legendary powerhouse to suddenly beco an infant is too great a blow for them, and this state also had a huge impact on her—making her disappear is only natural." An Empire noble explained, appearing to relate to the situation.
Perfikot glanced at him, confirming that he was a title Knight.
"Is there any solution to Master Sanderion’s situation, Lord Perfikot?" The Empress looked at Perfikot. Although she was pleasantly surprised that the Legendary Alchemist from a hundred years ago was still alive, the Empress was more concerned about whether she could restore her power.
After all, facing the apocalypse, the threat of the Evil God Sect, and the return of the Ancient Gods, the confidence and security brought by a Legendary powerhouse cannot be compared to even a Godslaying Armor.
Even if the Godslaying Armor could grind a Legendary powerhouse to the ground, until it truly displays such combat power, everyone tends to trust traditional Legendary powerhouses more.
To this, Perfikot nodded and said, "The curse she suffered is from Divinity, originating from their attempt to break through the boundaries of the Legendary level a hundred years ago.
I’ve conducted so research on this, and breaking the curse is not the issue; it just requires so ti."
"That’s good. If there’s anything you need, feel free to speak, the Empire will give full support!" The Empress generously offered her promise, as a Legendary powerhouse is very important to the Empire, even if she is just an Alchemist.
However, while everyone was discussing the potential impact of Sanderion’s return on the Empire, Eldest Princess Annie suddenly asked Perfikot, "Perfikot, what level of Alchemist are you right now? Although the outside world recognizes you as an Alchemy Master, that’s only a description of your academic achievents. At the Extraordinary level, what level are you really?"
Initially, Eldest Princess Annie didn’t care about this. Considering Perfikot’s age, reaching a Grand Knight-level Extraordinary at her age is already a prodigy.
If her extraordinary prowess matched her academic achievents, that would be too exaggerated.
However, Perfikot rely gave a slight mysterious smile, "That’s hard to describe. I don’t know exactly what level I have reached, but I can assure you that even a Legendary Knight in Steam Armor, I can take them down."
Perfikot, of course, knew her competence, but she is not an ordinary person, and asuring her by ordinary standards is sowhat inaccurate.
For example, she is currently equivalent to a Grand Knight level Extraordinary. But, using the dragon she once killed as a reference, Perfikot dared to claim she could slay it with ease even without any teammate’s assistance.
For other Extraordinaries, achieving such a feat would be challenging, even for a title Knight wearing the Steam Knight Armor.
This is not just a gap in knowledge, capability, and insight leading to different combat strategies, but because Perfikot is not a natural person. She is the perfect life form—the highest masterpiece of alchemy—her strength surpasses the sa level of Extraordinary by a margin.
In other words, if Perfikot’s strength must be compared, she would be equivalent to an Alchemist of a title Knight level.
Moreover, with the completion of the Godslaying Armor’s developnt, Perfikot’s application of primordial material has been acknowledged by the Jade Record, and the sixth page also has the conditions to be revealed.
This also implies Perfikot is about to acquire a new technology, which according to her original plan, can lift Weir’s curse to restore her Legendary strength, and help other title-level Extraordinaries break through to the Legendary level.
Once Perfikot opens the sixth page of the Jade Record, with this technology, she can elevate the currently existing title-level Extraordinaries to Legendary level, significantly enhancing the Empire’s combat power.
The deterrence a Legendary-level Extraordinary brings, and the combat power they can demonstrate, is unparalleled by a title-level Extraordinary.
For the Empire’s title Knights, they need to wear custom-made Steam Knight Armor to raise themselves to a level comparable to Legendary Knights. It is imaginable what a Legendary can achieve.
Such an Extraordinary, paired with custom-fit Steam Armor, although might not match Divinity, could certainly exchange a few blows.
Should one pilot the improved Godslaying Armor, it could indeed contest a Divinity.
As for how to reduce the colossal Godslaying Armor into a size wearable like Steam Armor, this is not a problem for Perfikot.
Since the Godslaying Armor is still just a prototype for technological validation, Perfikot originally planned to minimize its size, not to ntion she could acquire help from elsewhere.
Perfikot had long known that the seventh page of the Jade Record, with its omniscience ability, can search for corresponding alchemical knowledge based on needs, in a sense being all-powerful.
In other words, using this ability, Perfikot could even truly craft a Steam Armor powerful enough to slay gods.
Of course, first, Perfikot must be able to unveil the seventh page of the Jade Record shortly and then acquire the omniscient ability.
For her, this is not a challenge, and she already has a plan for it.
"Since all matters have been understood, let’s first complete the testing of the Godslaying Armor. Afterward, the Empire’s focus will shift entirely to the Northern Territory, and prepare to counter potential Evil God Sect crises, ready for the return of the Ancient Gods after the apocalypse descends." After ensuring every issue was discussed well, the Empress made a final summary.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Empire’s dignitaries, including Perfikot, bowed to the Empress in unison in response.
After most had left, Perfikot was retained by the Empress and Eldest Princess Annie, seemingly to discuss so private matters.
"Is it required that I take this crown off?" Perfikot joked, for she was still wearing the crown of significant historical importance to the Empire.
"If you like the crown, you can keep it for now." The Empress shook her head, evidently not concerned about the crown’s extraordinary importance, perhaps considering it was just a typically crafted crown: "Annie, bring that item out!"
Upon the Empress’s word, Perfikot showed a puzzled expression, uncertain about the Empress’s intentions.
Then, she saw Eldest Princess Annie take out a finely packaged box, "This is a birthday gift from my mother and , a Divine Artifact suitable for an Alchemist."
