He had no doubt.
One's spirit will eventually be completely assimilated by that wildness.
He will become nothing more than an empty shell that only knows how to destroy.
A monster devoid of thought and emotion, reduced to mere primal instincts.
The thought sent chills down his spine.
Shotaro, on the other hand, felt mostly lingering fear.
Deep self-blame also overwhelmed him.
As W's "body," and as the one that bears the impact of the battle.
As Philip's most trusted partner.
However, he was unable to control his partner's rampage.
He even watched helplessly as Akiko, that always noisy but incredibly important girl, nearly suffered a fatal injury.
That scene kept replaying in his mind.
This feeling of powerlessness, like a cold, heavy boulder, weighed heavily on his heart.
It almost made him breathless.
He clenched his fists.
The fingernails were deeply embedded in the palm.
But I can't feel any pain.
The two of them simultaneously and with difficulty raised their heads.
They looked up at them with an incredibly complex expression.
They looked up at the golden figure that stood quietly before them.
Against the backdrop of the ruins, that figure appeared so upright.
So dazzling.
Unscathed.
These three words were clearly etched in their minds.
From beginning to end, regardless of whether they were facing that weapon hybrid capable of transforming into countless weapons and possessing power so great that it inspired despair.
Or perhaps they are facing a fanged ace who is completely out of control and has devastating power enough to destroy a neighborhood.
He remained so composed.
So freehand.
It was as if everything was under control.
Nothing could move him.
That fighting style, which is almost like predicting the future, always allows for the most correct response at the most appropriate time.
That precise energy control meant that every attack was perfectly timed, with no waste whatsoever.
They witnessed it with their own eyes.
The "Shining Locust" form.
That was an overwhelming and unbeatable strength.
That is a realm that they cannot currently comprehend or reach.
"Are you... okay?"
The golden armor transformed into countless tiny particles of light.
The points of light, like fireflies on a summer night, slowly swirled around him.
Then it merges into the air and disappears.
Su Chen returned to her original appearance.
He walked up to the two of them, his steps steady and his breathing even.
He asked calmly, his voice revealing little emotion.
"Ah...we're alright, thanks to you, Su Chenjun."
Philip struggled, bracing himself on his arms as he tried to sit up.
His tone was filled with heartfelt gratitude.
There was also a hint of... a deep awe of the unknown power.
As the "Son of Earth," he possesses the "Earth Library," which directly connects to all knowledge on Earth.
But at this moment, for the first time, he felt it.
One's own knowledge.
My own data.
It is so scarce.
So insignificant.
The power system of the man before me, the abilities he has demonstrated.
This is completely beyond the scope of the "Earth Library's" records.
That was a completely new and unknown territory.
A realm that made him tremble, yet he couldn't help but want to explore.
Su Chen didn't say anything more to comfort her.
Those things seemed pale and powerless to W at this moment.
He simply held the "weapon memory" that he had just captured, still warm to the touch, in his hand.
He examined it carefully, like the most discerning and demanding connoisseur.
The surface of the memory chip gleamed with a dangerous light.
The vast amount of data contained within made his eyes light up slightly.
A barely perceptible sense of satisfaction flashed across the depths of his eyes.
For him, the significance of this battle went far beyond simply saving W.
It wasn't just about protecting that girl named Akiko.
Those were just the result of doing things on a whim.
He not only perfectly tested the limits of "Shining Locust" in high-speed computation.
And various performance parameters related to precision strikes.
We obtained the most authentic and valuable combat data feedback.
These data will become another solid foundation on his ladder of power evolution.
It also gave him this extremely precious advanced memory containing data on "multiple weapon form switching".
Its value far exceeds that of ordinary things.
This is for the even more powerful new form he envisioned next.
Undoubtedly, it is the best research material.
It is also the most crucial catalyst.
A form that can compensate for some of the shortcomings of the "Shining Locust" and make it closer to a perfect form.
A slight smile unconsciously curved the corners of his mouth.
It then disappeared.
It was so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
Looking at Su Chen's calm expression, as if he had only completed a trivial task.
A feeling of powerlessness welled up in Shotaro's heart.
A sense of loss at being left far behind.
A hint of sadness also flashed across Philip's eyes.
A clear understanding of one's own limits.
they know.
The gap between myself and this man.
It has grown to such an extent that it may be impossible to catch up in a lifetime.
It was a bottomless chasm.
It lies between them and him.
Desperate.
Yet, it's a reality we can't ignore.
Chapter 48 A New Objective, Assault and Annihilation! Wakana's Request, the Rift in the Family
A brewing storm is brewing, enough to overturn the fragile balance of the city's underworld, and may even cause the two detective knights, who are one, to split apart.
However, all this potential chaos, after Su Chen's intervention, was like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing only insignificant ripples before quickly disappearing without a trace.
Shotaro and Akiko's eagerness to "treat you to a barbecue feast to express their gratitude" was calmly and distantly rejected by Su Chen, who cited being busy with other matters.
He didn't have time to waste on pointless social niceties.
At this moment, a memory object shimmering with a dark luster lay quietly in his palm.
This was his biggest gain from the trip – “weapon memory”.
