Chapter 2023: Decisive Victory in the Ring (6)

Two hundred and ten years ago, that is, in 316 A.D.

A middle-aged man sat in the darkness, and behind him was a cold iron wall, part of a military base.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked another man across the table. The words were in pure German, with the coldness and seriousness characteristic of Germanic officers.

"I'm sure. The man responded.

"I repeat. To confirm, the officer said, "It will take at least two hundred years for the Vegas system to go from transplantation to complete assimilation and stabilization of your nervous system." For 200 years, you will be kept in a cryocompartment and continue to dream of that never-ending dream. All these sacrifices are for the future of the [Natsu Party] and a prelude to the implementation of our [Ethnic Purification Program]. All these sacrifices you have made for the sake of our country have been honorable and noble, but they must be carried out with your personal consent. Are you really ready?"

"Needless to say, I'm ready. Without hesitation, the man replied, "For the sake of the country." For the Naz Party. ＂

"So...... What about your wife? I heard that she is pregnant?" The officer then asked: "Two hundred years from now, everything will be uneventful, and if you lie in that freezer, it means that you will not have the opportunity to see your wife and your soon-to-be-born child in the future." Is it really worth it?"

"Nora will understand me. The man replied, "I'm sure she'll respect my decision." ＂

"Yes. The officer snorted emotionlessly, then wrote in the papers on the table: "If that's what you want...... It's the final word. Congratulations, Mr. Nat. You have been selected as the final volunteer experimenter for the Vegas system. The transplant is about to begin, please sign your name here and come with me. ＂

The man signed the paperwork without even thinking about it.

"Take care of Nora for me. He said, "And little Sean, who hasn't been born yet." ＂

"Of course. You are a hero who sacrificed your life for your country, an honorary member of the Natsu Party, and we will definitely take good care of your family and never let them starve and freeze. ＂

That's right, two hundred years ago, the Nazists clearly promised that.

A country, a government, a political party in power, should make a very reliable promise, right?

However......

More than two hundred years later, when the man opened his eyes, what he saw was ------

An old research institute, a completely deserted underground ruin.

The freezer compartment was opened because the battery was exhausted and opened urgently. Except for him, the other freezer chambers have all been damaged, and the other volunteer experimenters lying inside have either turned into rotten corpses or are already white bones.

The man scrambled to his feet in horror, not knowing how long it had taken to recover from years of freezing side effects. Weakened, he couldn't wait to get out of this empty, rusty, dark and gloomy underground research institute, trying to find clues from the various terminals and understand everything that happened here.

Then he understood. Two hundred years have passed, the Germans have changed dynasties, and the party in power is no longer the Natsu party. The Natsu Party's ambition to conquer the world was shattered, and the plan to conquer the world by researching "super soldiers" was terminated as a matter of course, so the [Vegas Project] disappeared from the stage of history one hundred and fifty years ago.

Only this secret research institute hidden underground has been preserved, but it has been declining day by day because it has not been maintained for many years.

In order to maintain the power of the cryochamber, the intelligent management system turned off the freezing and life support systems of the other experimenters one by one, and only the most powerful individuals, the most promising individuals ------ the last ------ were retained. The last bit of electricity from the entire institute was used to maintain Nat's cryogenic chamber, which survived the great transformation for two hundred years until the [Vegas System] was completely assimilated into Nat's own nervous system and the research was completely successful.

He is the only successful example of the whole plan, he is the only essence of the whole plan, he is the "super soldier" created by the Natsu Party and the old Germanic Empire, he is the "future".

------ yet he has been forgotten by the changing country and is no longer needed.

Veterans don't die, they just wither.

His country and government don't need him anymore, but that's about it. What about his wife, Nora, who is probably long gone after more than 200 years, right? But what about his son? What about his son's descendants?

They must be found. Even if it is impossible to see his little Sean, he has to find the child of Little Sean's child. He wants to take another look at the "legacy" he left behind in history two hundred years ago.

This man who has traveled through time, with a longing and anxiety for the future, leaves the underground research institute.

A few years later, he joined the Germanic army as a soldier and made some achievements in the Great War. But the war passed too quickly, and this is not an era in which people can quickly become heroes. It will take a lot of time to climb up the ladder until you reach the heart of power, and with the help of power, you will find a history that was forgotten two hundred years ago. He didn't have that patience. He just wanted to know the clues about his wife and children two hundred years ago. And the stage of the Round Table Trial is for people like him.

There are the means to fulfill almost any wish, if you become a Knight of the Round Table!

"That's right...... Nat, the musketeer, rose from the ground, covered in blood, but did not feel much pain. The Vegas system is not only a system that accelerates the ability to react to nerves, it uses nanoscale golems as the main carrier, assimilates with the human nervous system, and can play a variety of effects, including suppressing pain.

The man just wanted to see his wife and children again. In order to fulfill this small wish, he came here and risked his life to fight his opponent, again and again.

"I haven't seen my little Sean yet, how can I fall in such a place?" he muttered almost stubbornly.

"Unbelievable...... Bediwell, who had risen from the pit, couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the other party's figure.

Is that really [human]?

The front was affected by the explosion of two* shells, and the musketeer Nat had already taken a lot of damage with his right arm, which was used to protect himself. The flesh on that arm was opened, and many muscles were torn apart by the explosion, and even bones could be seen!

But underneath Nat's bloody, bony arm...... It was a black skeleton with a metallic sheen! That guy's bones were made of a special metal, and it was impossible for an explosion to destroy it! The flesh and skin on his arms were constantly twitching, as if they were alive in their own right! The bloody flesh shimmered in the sun's rays, and in this glimmer of light began to stop bleeding and converge, slowly but continuously returning to its original state!

Self-healing ability?Can humans have self-healing ability?!Although this self-healing ability is nothing compared to the self-healing ability of epic creatures such as dragons and succubi, it is really surprising that humans can have this level of self-healing ability!

Musketeer Nat is some kind of [transhuman], and he guesses that he is a transhuman who has been highly modified all over his body!

Humans are so weak.

It is precisely because human beings are weak and want to pursue greater power that they transform themselves.

The more we transform, the more we pursue power, the more [people] deviate from the way of [people].

Is that ultimate posture that has completely deviated from [humanity] and was born out of the pursuit of power still be [human]?

------'s just a monster!

"I know what you're thinking. "Nat didn't hurt in his right arm, and the injury didn't hinder his movement. He pulled out another firearm from his tactical belt------ which was a shotgun------ to be used with the shotgun he was holding in his left hand.

Both hands are armed with shotguns, and both combat shotguns have been specially modified with large bayonets that seem to be better suited for close combat. Is this guy planning to take a quick break and have a hand-to-hand fight with Bedeville?!

"Interesting. I'll accompany you. The werewolf youth snorted, the whip in his left hand and the scimitar in his right hand, all ready to go. Of course, the effect of the frozen pine resin smeared on it has been completely exhausted, and the werewolf youth does not have the leisure to refill more frozen pine resin. He didn't have to.

The other party's bayonet is not enchanted in any way, it is just a bayonet. In hand-to-hand combat, the conditions are even!

"Let's get started, then!" Before his opponent could reply, Bediwell had already rushed forward!

Seeing the werewolf youth rushing over and being shot, of course the musketeer Nat would not let go of this good opportunity, and he was faced with a shot! The recoil of the large-caliber steel ball scatter had little effect on his arm, after all, he had a special alloy skeleton in his body. Driven by the explosion of the photon explosion engine, dozens of large-caliber steel balls burst out in random fan-like shapes, and the attack range is quite large!

But no matter how big its attack range is, there is no danger if the ball is blocked. Bediwell activated the effect of the [Acceleration Potion] in an instant, and the scenery in front of him suddenly became extremely slow! He saw the oncoming steel balls clearly, and the tungsten turtle tongue whip in his hand also received every command he gave him, and immediately met it with precision and speed, knocking all the six scattered steel balls that might threaten Bediville into the air!

Boom!!Bediwell's Black Moon Steel Scimitar and the bayonet on the Musketeer's Nat Shotgun collided with each other! Bediwell's movement and trajectory of the knife were clearly seen by the other party, and of course this knife would be blocked!

"Die!" Nate had just blocked the blow with the bayonet on his shotgun, and immediately adjusted the head of the shotgun and shot it at the werewolf youth's face!
