Chapter 15: The Demon God
"Stand upright, salute! Central Super Spiritual Power Academy, Batu! ”
"Ace"
"Ada"
"Klaus"
"Elena"
"And your old friend, Will, came to report."
In the reception area, five young men dressed in the signature red tight-fitting combat uniforms of the Super Spiritual Power Academy stood neatly, and when they saw Dr. Alain from the open door, they gave a standard military salute with their training.
"It's not an army establishment, why play this set... What did you teach on the way? ”
Alain frowned as he looked at the light, bearded man in a silver flexible metal combat suit.
"No, no, it's just that the other day, after I took them on the road and did a disgusting wormhole by the way, they started to think of themselves as soldiers"
Will grinned and walked over to Dr. Alain, stretching out his arms.
"Shouldn't you hug me happily when you see me at this time? Then he said gratefully, 'Oh my God! With you we are saved.'"
Instead, Dr. Alain slapped the man's outstretched arms and walked straight up to the five young men lined up in a neat row.
"Give me more nonsense, and I'll put your brain in my testing machine tonight!"
The words he said as he passed by Will made the five young men shudder.
"Why are you so late! Did the President ask you to come here just so that you could kill insects? You still have them all with you? ”
Alain's gaze swept over the five children in front of him one by one, four boys and one girl, the oldest of whom should not have been more than eighteen years old.
Will retracted his embarrassed outstretched arms and looked back
"Those bugs are so cunning that we didn't take a detour from Kannada to save time, but sneaked in directly from Laupa Administration, which is controlled by the Third Fleet.
As a result, we were surprised to find that the swarm from Laupa's side did not occupy the mines along the way, but lurked in the position of three standard voyages of Al Antuk, and formed a majority of the encirclement here."
Will opened the star map in the reception room and began to point out the extent of the encirclement to Alain.
"You see, the regions close to two hundred and seventy degrees are full of bugs, but they have been in a state of silence, as if waiting for something.
We were here for five days, until I flew the Ghost Recon and found a wormhole that was supposed to have just formed, and then I took a few of them and the guards and used a small nuclear bomb to take out the wormhole. ”
Will pointed to a small mine three standard voyages from Al Antuk and continued.
"The bugs around there frantically rushed to the wormholes that we had overturned, and there was a brief gap in the encirclement around the mine, and I let the battleship break through there, and then drove the ghost fighter to catch up.
Unfortunately, in the process of breaking out, our main engine was damaged, and it is thanks to them that they did not run fast enough that you can see me alive! ”
"This reason is barely acceptable"
Alain turned to several young people from the Psychic Academy again.
"You report your age, and how much can you simulate the synchronization rate?"
Alain walked slowly from left to right in front of the young man at the head.
The leader was a strong, dark-skinned boy, as strong as a cow.
"Batu, 18 years old, the synchronization rate of the No. 3 test machine is stable at 63%-67%"
The second is a long-haired, fair-haired boy who looks a little weak.
"Ace, 17 years old, the synchronization rate of the No. 1 test machine is stable at 65%-70%"
In third place was a boy with glasses, who looked very young and not very tall.
"Ada, 16 years old, the synchronization rate of the No. 2 test machine is stable at 65%-69%"
Standing in the penultimate position is a boy with short blond hair, with a square face that looks slightly mature.
"Klaus, 16 years old, the synchronization rate of the No. 5 test machine is stable at around 70%"
The last one was a girl who looked to be about the same age as Nataya, with long brown hair
"Elena, fifteen years old, the synchronization rate of the No. 4 test machine is about 70%-73%"
Alain, who had walked a lap, was obviously satisfied, and she glanced at Will and said
"The average synchronization rate is more than 60%, and the average age is about sixteen years old.
But what are you going to do with the most important one? ”
"Is it true that Hart said that Anasha is not dead?"
Will didn't answer Dr. Alain's question, but put away the smile that had been on his lips since he saw the doctor, and looked at the woman with a straight face, his eyes full of uncertainty.
"Let's go... I knew you were going to ask this ... I can't give you an answer, it might be."
Dr. Alain opened the door to the center of the base, glanced back at Nataya, and was the first to walk out.
Will followed Dr. Alain closely, afraid he had missed something.
Several children from the Superpsy Academy and Nataya followed.
"What's your name ... Why are you here too?"
Elena, who followed at the back of the line like Nataya, asked curiously about the blonde girl who looked to be her own age.
"I... Now I'm Dr. Alain's teaching assistant, but in fact I don't know anything, I'm just stuck here... ”
It was the first time in more than a month that Nataya had met so many "peers".
The same situation, the same visual age, is always the best condition to resolve the unfamiliar.
"Wow... You are Dr. Alain's teaching assistant at such a young age ... I... I'm a fresh graduate of the Mental Power Academy! Thank you for your care."
When Elena heard the word teaching assistant, she was almost stupid.
Elena was discovered at the age of thirteen to have mental potential, after two years of development and training,
Finally passed the assessment of the Super Spiritual Power Academy, one of the three famous schools in the Federation, and this result is already the youngest record holder in the whole federation.
It wasn't until last month that Elena unleashed a not-so-formed psychic shield for the first time...
"You, how old are you...
Elena didn't believe her eyes and ears a little, and she secretly added a sentence.
"Six..."
Nataya's reflexive answer,
And then when she realized that her answer would make her not think of her as a monster,
Elena gasped
"Sixteen years old ... Assistant Professor of the Dean of the Armored Academy... ”
OK... She heard it wrong ... Nataya's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, my name is Elena, Elena-Lowatu"
The girl with long brown hair held out her hand to Nataya
"Nice to meet you"
Nataya held these equally small hands, and felt a trace of the other party's mental fluctuations transmitting, which made her feel a warm feeling, not strong but clearly present.
"Nataya, they all call me Nana...
This is the first time Nataya has said her name, involuntarily.
By the time the two girls had finished shaking hands, the group had already walked to the circular platform where the six behemoths were kept.
"Warm-up put, start the program begins"
After Dr. Alain finished speaking to Eevee, who was busy on the platform, he saw Eevee nod and retreat to the console next to him with the rest of the staff on the platform.
"The Demon God Project is activated, and the protective device is unlocked"
With Eevee's command, the dust shields on the six behemoths were slowly pulled up by the mechanical arms above.
"Wow..."
"Oh my God..."
"It's...
In addition to Will and Dr. Alain, the six children present covered their mouths in unison.
I saw that on the platform with complex patterns, under the white cloth that was slowly torn apart, six huge cubic cabinets were revealed.
In the cabinet placed at the five vertices of the pentagonal shape on the ground, golden mechs about the height of five or six standard federal residential floors were revealed, they were all different shapes and colors, but the deterrent power revealed was exactly the same.
In the center of the cabinet marked with the number "six", Nataya saw a mecha of completely different colors and shapes from the five surrounding mechas.
It has an inverted triangular head, and in the center of its forehead is a triangular crystal that unfolds around it is a head armor of mercury-colored metal.
Two barbed arms, protruding from the angular shoulder and wrist armor.
Strong thighs are flanked by thick exoskeleton armor,
As you can see from the shape of the armor, it is a pair of ankle bones with a reverse arch...
The whole mecha looks like a combination of a human and a bug, wearing a full body armor of mercury...
"Anasha..."
"It's a bug...
"Hope... Everything is in time ... ”
At this moment, Will, Nataya, and Dr. Alain each silently recited the words that only they could hear.
