Chapter 507: Prototype Weapon (2/2)

Although she's not really planning it, with the opportunity presented in front of her, Dannae handed me the prototype weapon before taking Avelin's place from earlier. Hugging me tightly with her face buried in my chest. Her two little feelers peeked out from her head and danced along with the changes in her emotion.

Since she's already there, I patted her head the same way I did with Avelin before analyzing the weapon on my hand.

Its details already appeared inside my mind but I still double-checked just in case.

The weapon was shaped like a revolver grenade launcher. However, inside of latches for the grenade projectiles, there were six Energy Containers that needed to be filled before one could fire them.

The Particle Cannon Prototype has almost the same function as the one attached to the Automatons. It didn't need any input of Source Energy from its user. Instead of that, there's a switch to activate a Source Energy gatherer to fill up those Energy Containers and they would need to be condensed to the extreme.

And that meant, it couldn't be used indefinitely in a battle because of the long charging time. Nonetheless, Dannae could just fill it up first before using it. She had her father's gun as well as the Ice Rifle that I'd handed to her.

With more weapons in her arsenal, she's like an artillery-type unit now. Her destructive power would be higher than Irja as long as she could utilize her ability well.

”Un. This is safe to use. Why don't you try it? We're nearing the Armor Peripherals Storage Building where Reinys' cape should be stored.” I smiled and suggested it.

Upon hearing that, Reinys' eyes lit up while the others also had some kind of anticipation to see what that Particle Cannon could do.

I told the two earlier that we would circle back for it after getting the World Zone Navigator. However, since we joined up with this group, it's better to get those now than wait until later.

After agreeing with my suggestion, the five women readied themselves to be surrounded by the Bronze, Silver and Gold Automatons once more.

Since we're going deep into Atlantis, the strength of the guards and the security placed were all heightened.

That's the reason why we had to stop here. Reinys and Elise who was moving in my direction without receiving any help from me except the four boosts nearly exhausted themselves repelling every Automatons coming our way.

Now that there were five of them, the burden for the girls would ease up.

Before leaving the green-marked zone, I called for Noelle to instruct that she's the only support this time. I would only be watching them from a distance and checking out the vicinity.

Upon being given that kind of role, Noelle's fighting spirit soared as she loudly shouted ”Leave it to me!”

Like everyone, she's growing from the timid girl of yesterday and naturally, I'm growing more fond of her. In due time, I might change the way I looked at her as a little sister and treat her as one of my Companions who's romantically involved with me.

Either way, this is another test for them… I might look like I was trying to take it easy but in truth, if I went all out, none of them would need to move anymore. That's how confident I was at the moment.

Perhaps it was brought out with the pride of being a Divinity. Who knows? I still continuously remind myself to not be complacent. The times when I was as weak as a normal guy were still fresh in my mind and I would never want to go back to that point.

I would act stronger than anyone for the sake of these Companions of mine.

And that's the reason why my mind was continuously overthinking even at this moment along with my Energy Senses that were scanning everything it would touch upon.

Apart from that World Zone Navigator. I was now planning to reach that hidden place where the Processing Unit was located.

The World's Will could order and restrict it but he wouldn't be able to totally make it obey him. But that's what I planned to do. Making the Processing Unit submit to me and… take ownership of this place.

There's a lot of benefits we could take here and although I didn't care too much about material worth… times had changed. I also needed to lay more foundations for us. And anything that could be useful… I wouldn't hesitate to take it for ourselves.

The Ancient Ruins and that place below the cliff in the World of Barbarians… I guess I had to adjust the date of our departure to visit those places first and solve some of the mysteries of the Universe.

What exactly happened that led those two pieces of a higher world to exist in a Mortal World?

And if that old gentleman's apparition was still there, I would search for his real body outside and see if he could be an ally.

If I had to guess, that one was at least a Sage Realm expert. It was evident with how long that Incarnation of his was existing while cut off with the original body.
