This revelation created a wave of disbelief within the audience. Most of them got up out of their seats, saying things like, 'that's impossible,' or 'there's no way', and a lot of variations of the same thing.
No one could believe that the golem was actually not a golem at all. It was basically an automobile.
Everyone had been accustomed to golems being creatures of magic. They were the quintessential products of wizards, since most of them were made out of the four basic elements.
And now, after figuring out that the Golem in front of them wasn't actually powered by magic, it completely upended their whole understanding of magic and physics.
If it's not powered by magic, then how could it move? How could it raise its legs like that of a human? How could it crush the automobile under its feet with such ease?!
They couldn't believe it. If the golem was powered by this 'engine' then did that mean that the automobile had that kind of power and they didn't even know it?
