Days passed like this, and the leisurely days of tricking Peter into wearing women's clothes were gone forever.
Now life felt like a simple routine: eat, sleep, go to school… and upgrade Fengshen.
The wealthy "liver emperor" Stark was completely overworked—terrifying.
If Pepper hadn't complained to her on the phone, Rimuru wouldn't have known that during the time she had been busy fooling Peter, Stark had been locked in his lab every day, desperately trying to reconcile with her.
When she heard this, Rimuru couldn't help but feel shocked.
She had recently been a little distracted and actually forgot there was still a certain Iron Man chasing her!
According to Pepper's information, Stark's Mark IV design was basically complete.
Rimuru didn't know the exact capabilities of the Mark IV, but it was definitely an upgrade from the Mark III.
Relatively speaking, the Mark III was already nearly perfect, but it hadn't performed very impressively in the fight against Iron Monger, let alone against Fengshen No.1 earlier.
So the Mark IV would definitely come with stronger weapons. That's exactly what Stark did in the movie timeline.
However, because of Rimuru's interference, Stark's Mark IV anti-air/anti-sonic system would surely be upgraded several levels.
He had lost in speed against Fengshen and was completely suppressed against Iron Monger. With his pride, if he couldn't reclaim his dominance, he wouldn't be Tony Stark.
He would probably design a stronger propulsion system for Mark VII—such as hidden thrusters along the ribs.
In a sense, Tony's Mark IV would become the complete opposite of Fengshen.
On this point, Rimuru would not fall behind. Tony Stark wanting a lifelong rivalry with her? That was just a dream.
Competing with an opponent in close combat?
Sorry—Rimuru preferred one-sided crushing!
Being crushed felt good… and crushing others continuously felt even better!
So how should Fengshen II be designed?
Of course—it had to be cooler, faster, and stronger!
Although Rimuru didn't actually need mechanical arms to wear the armor, there was no need to keep the cockpit-style design either.
But Tony Stark already had a cockpit system. If she still needed mechanical arms, wouldn't that make her inferior to Tony?
So the cockpit style had to stay.
Next was the armor system. This time, Rimuru no longer intended to make Fengshen as fragile as before.
Saying she was narrow-minded or petty—what was the point of winning if Fengshen II was still weak?
This time, she wanted to show that even a heavy-armored Fengshen could still be used for combat!
She was going to pin Tony Stark to the ground and rub him from every direction!
More importantly, Rimuru knew that the Hulk would soon arrive in New York.
Therefore, Fengshen II needed thick armor and the ability to handle anti-Hulk-level combat.
Next was the weapon system. This time, Rimuru decided to go all out.
But obtaining specific weapons would depend on Tony Stark. With her current abilities, it was basically impossible to obtain such high-precision weapon systems.
Finally, endurance and mobility were also crucial.
To extend battery life, either energy consumption had to be reduced or the energy source had to be upgraded.
Tony's approach was to replace the palladium core with a new element reactor and a hybrid system of solar and electrical energy.
Mark VI could even use Thor as a humanoid power source, but she couldn't reach that level yet.
And because of her interference, Tony was not facing a life-threatening condition like in the original story.
So finding a new element might not even be part of the plan anymore.
With the help of the Great Sage, Rimuru could actually discover new elements. In terms of energy, she already had a generational advantage.
Battery life was actually the easiest problem to solve.
But mobility was harder. Maintaining mobility in heavy armor required extremely high propulsion efficiency.
Every aspect—from materials to core design—needed upgrades.
Without a supercomputer, Aya could only hijack internet connections from computers across the United States. This extremely heavy computing load caused many systems in America to crash.
Many netizens cursed their internet providers while watching videos or browsing websites.
Several major telecom companies received a flood of complaints.
Of course, Rimuru didn't dare to go too far. If she was discovered, she might be invited to have a "chat" with S.H.I.E.L.D.
For now, she didn't want Aya's identity exposed.
Looks like she would have to buy a supercomputer.
To better design the next-generation heavy armor, she would also need to upgrade her lab and buy more advanced equipment.
First, a more efficient and stable particle collider was necessary. Second, she needed higher-end 3D printers and more advanced materials for Fengshen II.
Money… money… Rimuru felt like she had returned to poverty again.
The rich rely on technology, and things like mechs are not something poor people can afford!
"Great Sage, is there any way to reduce costs without lowering performance? If this continues, I won't even be able to pay property tax!"
"Magic?"
Rimuru froze. She realized she had fallen into a fixed way of thinking. Until now, she had been designing the mech purely with scientific thinking.
If magic and technology were combined, impossible things might truly become possible!
In that instant, it felt as if a door to a new world had opened. Her thoughts became more active than ever before, sparks of inspiration and intelligence exploding in her mind!
Thinking about a new Fengshen that combined magic and technology made her soul feel like it was burning.
To be honest, Fengshen I was still essentially an altered suit of armor, but if she fused science with magic, it could become a completely new system.
The sense of achievement from founding a "school" was completely different from mere imitation.
After thinking for a while, Rimuru felt that among the magic she knew, [Multiple Barrier] was the easiest to connect with the mech.
Since "energy shields" already defied science, there was no need for Fengshen armor to be so thick.
That would also solve mobility issues.
Amazing!
"Great Sage, what kinds of magic can this armor currently use?"
The Great Sage calmly explained.
Rimuru's eyes lit up instantly.
If she could really integrate such magic with the armor, Fengshen would basically have both passive and active skills—like teleportation, flash movement, and more.
She could already imagine it: riding the new-generation Fengshen, standing on piles of Chitauri corpses in the upcoming New York battle, shouting "Who else?!"
She couldn't wait to design this revolutionary armor!
"Great Sage, teach me runes. I want to learn enchantment for mechs!"
Rimuru was startled and said, "Great Sage, doesn't your [Omniscient Perception] capture all unsealed phenomena in the world?"
"I understand. That means as long as I see documents, items, or someone who understands runes, you can analyze and infer everything, right?"
Rimuru stroked her chin.
In other words, to complete this magic-tech hybrid armor, she would need to meet Thor—or at least touch Mjolnir.
That wasn't difficult, but Thor wouldn't arrive on Earth for filming "Transformers" for at least another year.
In other words, Fengshen II could only take a partial step toward combining science and magic for now.
How frustrating… Rimuru even began to sympathize with genius Howard.
No matter how many brilliant ideas you had, if the technology of the time couldn't support them, they would remain nothing but fantasy.
