In the horrified eyes of everyone, a pitch-black viscous substance appeared inside Rin's body, oozing out of his pores in large quantities and covering his body.

Soon, he stood up from the ground, and a large, ominous blade appeared in his right hand, carrying it on his shoulder. When he turned his head, there were no more pupils in his pupils, replaced by the whites of his eyes that glowed crimson, and the bulging veins all over his face covered his entire face, staring at everyone with an indifferent expression.

"Best friends?" Aiden looked at Rin with a panicked look as he fused with the Overlord.

Aiden was the closest to Rin at this time, and when he didn't react, Rin, who had the same speed as the Overlord, had already come to Aiden with the giant blade he was holding.

"Be careful! Mr. Aiden! ”

"Hmm......"

Aiden was slashed down by Rin's slash, and blood spurted out of his chest, turning into blood foam and floating in the air.

"Hmph, this body is not bad...... Moreover, I can give full play to my strength, sister, you have found a 'good home', hahahaha! ”

Rin, who was possessed by the overlord, made the same voice as the overlord, and laughed arrogantly, looking very arrogant.

Everyone watched Rin being controlled by the overlord, and they were all at a loss, although the overlord had stopped moving his previous body by fusing with Rin, but ...... If Rin is not stopped, then he will continue to be eaten away by the overlord mentally and physically, and completely reduced to the puppet of the overlord.

After treating himself, Aiden hurriedly summoned two crows, bit Rin's exposed neck, and injected him with his "last vaccine".

"Rin, you have to hold on, this is a desensitization drug, and you can only rely on yourself next...... Please, please be sober. ”

After injecting Rin with the drug, Rin, who was possessed by the overlord, began to convulse violently, looking very painful and struggling. I saw him clutch the crows around his neck and tore them off his neck, along with a small piece of skin, and blood flowed down from the place where they were bitten.

Because Aiden's body tissue is connected to the crow, he also holds the awareness that he may be injured, and injects Rin with drugs to ensure that he can get rid of the overlord's control.

"Hmm...... Ahem!! Blood poured out of Aiden's neck, scattering large patches on the ground.

When everyone saw that Aiden's medicine was working, they didn't dare to approach Rin, who was struggling. Everyone looked at Rin with a worried look on their faces, and made a desperate attempt to shake off the greatsword wrapped around their arm, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on.

Unknown Regions-?? -Rin's inner space

In the darkness, Rin's consciousness was confronting the overlord who had just invaded his body, and in the face of the overlord who had knocked him down again and again, he chose to stand up again and again.

"Stand up."

"Ahem......"

A large amount of blood spat out of Rin's mouth, and the overlord in front of him walked towards him step by step, like a demon king, and a terrifying sense of coercion emanated from the overlord's body.

"Master, Nella doesn't want to die!"

"I know, and I don't want to."

Rin and the consciousness that exists within Hypernetus, Nielai, have no strength to resist in the face of this overlord who has invaded Rin's body.

"Tell me, young man, do you want to live?"

The overlord's cold voice came from inside the hood, and the voice was full of majesty, and people couldn't help but feel chilled. He didn't think much about it, but immediately replied: "Yes, as an ordinary person, I want to live more than anyone else!" ”

"That's pretty honest."

The Overlord slashes out again and cuts Rin off at the waist, but since this is Rin's inner world, Rin will recover unscathed no matter how many times he is killed. However, Rin's spirit gradually wears off in the fight with the Overlord, as evidenced by the scars on his body.

"If I hadn't seen your potential, I wouldn't have wasted my life on you. So, let me see how much you want to live. ”

He dragged his long knife, the pitch-black "Overlord Blade", and approached Rin step by step.

"You want to live, don't you? Overlord! ”

Rin dragged his broken body and stood up again, shouting at the Overlord.

"Hmph, of course, I don't hate this trait of yours."

"Since you have decided to choose to parasitize on me, that is your choice, and besides, I will not give my body to you, and I will not let you manipulate my consciousness!"

"You can't help it...... After all, you're too weak. ”

The Overlord attacked again, but Nellai manipulated Hypernetus and struggled to block the Overlord's sword for Rin. In the darkness, Hypernetus's sword shimmered faintly, and he did his best to block the overlord's attack for his master.

"Although the master is weak, he is gentler and stronger than anyone I have ever met! I won't let you hurt my master! Nella wants to live with her master! ”

"Stupid sister! You have broken our promise! ”

The Overlord flicked Hypernetus away, then aimed his greatsword at Rin, who had fallen to the ground, in a motion that threatened to be cut down at any moment.

"How can you survive without great power, without power strong enough to conquer everything! You're so weak, weaker than any ant I've ever seen, why would you follow such a weak human, sister...... Incomprehensible! ”

However, Nielai's voice came again, saying what she had been thinking all along:

"The master is stronger than any human I've ever met! So, Nella will always protect him! ”

Emerging from within Hypernetus, a half-dragon girl with long white hair and crimson eyes, holding a short sword like Hypernetus, stood in front of Rin and stopped the Overlord again for him.

"It's so stupid, stupid sister...... With such a weak human being, one day you will be destroyed! ”

The Overlord stopped his desire to attack and took a few steps back, no longer attacking with his greatsword. It seems that he doesn't want to do anything with Niella, that is, his "sister".

"We are all wills that do not belong to this world, and we have come to bring destruction to this world...... You've chosen an ordinary human, are you still a member of the 'Honkai Species'? Niele. ”

"Neber, although our brother and sister used to be Her Majesty's guards, there is no need for us to do this...... Now that Her Majesty's remnants of will have gradually disappeared from this world, please let it pass! Brother! ”

"Hmph, our existence will only bring destruction to mankind! There will never be such a childish idea as yours! Only power is everything! The weak ants should be dominated! ”

"It's not just power that is everything, Neber, my brother."

"I'll use time to prove you wrong, Nelle, my stupid sister."

This will, called "Nebo", slowly took off his helmet, revealing a face that was exactly the same as Rin's. At this moment, Rin's consciousness space underwent another drastic change.

Rin felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, falling uncontrollably from a high altitude, falling heavily to the ground and losing consciousness. Then, as if after a long period of time, Rin woke up from the biting cold ice coffin, at which point both Nelai and Neber's consciousness vanished at the same time. He looked around and there was nothing but frozen air and endless cold.

"Where is this ......?"

As he called out the name of Captain Bronya, as well as Ritter and Lynki, he found himself in a white expanse of ice and snow.

Naked, he called for the residual consciousness in his body in order to save his life. And that consciousness responded to his expectation, exuding a dark, ominous aura that surrounded him.

The black scale armor that exuded an ominous aura covered his body. It's exactly the same as what happened when he was possessed by the "Overlord".

"Whew...... It's much warmer, but it's ...... What's going on! ”

When he saw the pitch-black scale armor covering his body, he felt very panicked, and just by calling softly, it covered his body, shielding himself from the biting cold.

He only remembered that not long ago, the Overlord had invaded his body, manipulated his spirit, and tried to control his body.

He was scared, his eyes showed infinite fear, he was afraid that he would die here, in his consciousness space, so he called the names of his companions:

"Captain...... Lin Qi ...... Where am I? ”

He walked along the endless horizon, the gloomy sky was dark, and there was no sign of living beings on all sides.

At that moment, a large number of living dead crawled out of the snow and surrounded Rin, muttering incoherent words from their mouths, their rotting bodies thirsting for fresh flesh and blood.

"I'm in so much pain......"

"Living! It's a living person! ”

"The ...... of the Living"

The walking corpses were covered in ice and snow, and in their thirst for flesh and blood, they dragged their tattered bodies and slowly walked towards Rin.

"Want to live? Let me see your will. The familiar voice, the voice of the "Overlord", echoed in his mind.

Just as Rin was concentrating on the approaching living dead beside him, a crimson sword appeared on his right hand.

"Fight, fight endlessly."

The overlord's voice lingered in Rin's mind, and he could only wield a great sword as red as blood, fighting and fighting against the living dead who kept coming at him in this lifeless ice and snow.

I don't know how many days and nights have passed, Rin is still slashing, tirelessly slashing. The living dead, when knocked down, would continue to get up, and they didn't know how many times they had been killed, but they still walked in a twisted way, and they kept pounced on Rin.

"It's good, but it's not strong enough. Follow your heart's desire, the thirst for power, and name it. ”

"Demon King...... Befall! ”

Rin's whole body began to exude a powerful aura of coercion, the heavy scale armor on his body began to emit a pitch-black aura, and the giant sword was also roaring.

As his facial armor took shape, he stretched out his left hand and stroked his face, allowing the black scales that grew from his body to cover his entire face, forming a death-like mask that covered his cheeks.

"I want to live! One way or another! I'm going to live! ”

A roar of coercion erupted, and the living dead ceased their actions and knelt down in worship, as if they were overjoyed that their king had been reborn into the world.

This is their king, the Demon King, who represents destruction and darkness, the never-ending king of destruction.

However, the demon king will not show mercy, and those who disobey him must be removed, killed, cut open, and chopped up. Even their souls were not spared.

With a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the bodies of the living dead also split apart at the same time, turning into inactivated siliconized crystalline dust, which dissipated into the air with the icy biting wind.

By the time he woke up, his consciousness had returned to the real world. He is now in an armored car, which seems to be the armored car of New Arcadia, and the internal structure is very similar to what he remembers.

When he returned from the illusion, it was Aiden who was watching over him, and Miss Shizuru accompanied the two of them, who seemed to have rescued him.

"Are you awake? Rin-kun? ”

"I'm ......"

"It's good that you're okay, I'm sure you'll wake up."

Miss Shizuru sat in front of her, and she had said something to Aiden before she woke up, but she fainted and didn't know what they were talking about. Aiden walked up and injected Rin with a tranquilizer with a needle, and Rin instantly felt his brain buzz and seemed to be mentally stabilized.

Seeing that he woke up, Shizuru just said to him:

"This is the last time, Rin-kun, and the next time we meet, I will kill you mercilessly."

When Shizuru said this, her voice was indifferent, and she didn't feel much fluctuation from her voice.

It turned out that after Rin was possessed by the Overlord, the potion that Aiden injected him with the crow had not taken effect for a long time. Immediately afterward, Rin who lost control injured everyone, including Bronya, and then passed out.

Seeing this, Lady Shalene retrieved the wounded such as Bronya and the others to the Hela, but instead of recovering the unconscious Rin, only Shizuru and Aiden stayed where they were, and when Rin was emotionally stable, she took him to the armored car. After recovering Rin, Shizuru asked Aiden to send a message to Destiny, saying that Rin's condition had stabilized for the time being, and that he could only be released back to Destiny after confirming that he was no longer controlled by the Overlord's consciousness.

"Thank you, Miss Shizuru." Rin and Miss Shizuru thanked them for their help.

Although Rin said thank you to Shizura, Shizuru did not respond to him, and Shizuru just looked at Rin on the transport stretcher with an extremely indifferent expression through New Arcadia's blindfold communicator.

She knew that Rin was no longer the person she trusted, and when Shizuru trusted him, he took advantage of his trust and betrayed him.

They won't be able to chat happily and work together as they used to.

After sending Rin to the Arcstar Church's territory, Shizuru let the armored car carry him away, while Aiden carried the weak Rin to the Arcstar Church's church and asked Sister Apricot to take care of him.

"Mr. Aiden, let him go, Bronya has already contacted me, and I'll bring someone to pick him up later...... He hasn't eaten yet, Sister Momanlei, go and bring him the rest of what he has eaten tonight. ”

"Well, okay, Sister Xing."

After placing Rin on the front bench in the church, Aicon asks Aiden what he plans to do next, as a member of the "North Star Alliance" in New Arcadia, he can't choose to return to his destiny with Rin.

"I'm done, I'm going to go somewhere else."

"If you're going back to New Arcadia, you'll have to give an account tonight, on our turf...... The existence of New Arcadia is not allowed. ”

"As I said, I used to do things for them, but now I don't, so next, I'm going to do what I want."

"That's good."

Originally, Apricot wanted to wait for Aiden to finish speaking, and then pull out her weapon and attack him. However, since Aiden had already made his position clear, he didn't care too much and let him go. He looked after Rin, who seemed to be a little tired and asleep, and stared at Rin's face with his head propped up with his hands on his face while showing an extremely ugly expression, and wondered why Bronya wanted to recruit such a young man as her team.

"This little young is very handsome, could it be that Sister Bronya likes Zhengtai? I didn't expect ...... Time can really change a person's preferences. ”

Then, Rin woke up. After eating the chickpea paste and bread that Mo Manlei brought, I regained a little strength and had the strength to speak.

"Brother Rin, are you feeling better? Mo Mango thought it was ...... Thought...... Woooooooooooo ”

Seeing that Mo Manlei was crying, Rin hurriedly put her hand on Mo Manglei's head and stroked it gently, indicating that she was fine.

"It's okay, my life is too big to die."

"So, your name is Rin, aren't you? How did you meet that Bronya? It stands to reason...... Shouldn't Destiny prioritize recruiting 'Valkyries'? ”

Apricot tried to ask Rin why she wanted to go to Destiny, and Rin also directly told her how she came to Destiny and how she became an Ember agent, 1510.

After listening to what Rin said, Xing also said angrily:

"It seems that Destiny is still the same, and he likes to be a kidnapper, tying young people of your age to them to do hard labor."

"That's not the case, Miss Xing, although it was a helpless move at the time, but now I have a reason to stay in the Mandate of Heaven."

"Cut, that's all a lie, I'll tell you first, before Mandate of Heaven became an 'international peacekeeping organization', but I did a lot of shady things, and it wasn't as clean as you thought, boy."

"Miss Xing used to be a member of the 'Anti-Entropy' organization, right?" Rin seemed to have something in mind. "Why did you come to Arcstar Church to be a nun?"

Hearing this question, Kyoshi and Rin explained why they stayed in the Arc Church:

"I didn't want to come here in the first place, but for some special reasons, after all, 'anti-entropy' no longer exists...... Since the 'Anno Collapse', I haven't thought that the Great Honkai could happen again. ”

"Besides, I'm still a wanted man of Destiny, and although Bronya and Ciel are both in Destiny, I don't want to trouble them both."

Hearing the words "Wanted", Rin hurriedly asked her:

"Why? Wanted? Did Miss Apricot commit something? ”

"You don't have to know, it's not a good thing anyway...... after the 'Era Collapse' happened, those things started to be discovered by those guys, and they began to settle accounts with me."

She bared her shark-like teeth and said this sentence disdainfully, as if she was very dissatisfied with the practice of Destiny, so she had some opinions.

"So, young lad like you, don't believe in nonsense like 'for justice' and 'for the future of mankind', these things are used to brainwash employees."

Hearing this, Rin said, "I haven't been brainwashed much......"

"Actually, Bronia, and Ciel and I, we are all from before the Honkai Era, and we still have some impressions of what happened at that time."

She began to show a calm expression, slowly telling about the time when she grew up with Bronya and Ciel in the Kocolia orphanage.

At that time, Kocolia was a good person in their eyes, and all three of them called her "Mommy". However, after an incident, Bronya completely sees through Cocoria, hiding behind the founder of the charity organization, is actually an unrighteous person who collects orphans and brutally conducts human experiments.

Bronya once tried to escape with Ciel, but she couldn't, and after being captured by Cocolia, she brutally conducted human experiments, causing Ciel's to fall unconscious. Apricot thought that Bronya did it, so when Bronya was going down the stairs, she maliciously pushed her from behind, causing her to fall down the stairs, causing Bronya's legs to be a little disabled before.

He is also under the experiment of Cocolia, and has obtained superhuman strength, and now he can only maintain this half-crazy and half-awake form, and from time to time he will lose control, and he can only maintain his consciousness through daily prayers. She only remembered so much, and other things had been selectively forgotten by her for so many years.

"Miss Xing, it's really not easy for you. Now that the captain and the captain of the fifth team are doing well, you shouldn't worry too much. ”

"Of course I do! Brat! Who the hell would worry about these two heart-wrenching guys...... Although I have done something wrong in the past, what the hell is it! Do they still treat me like a sister?! ”

Xing's sudden anger made Rin hurriedly take a few steps back, revealing a strange expression of "huh".

"What, Miss Xing? Do you remember something? Why are you so angry......"

In front of Rin, Apricot continued to erupt and roared about her dissatisfaction with Ciel and Bronya:

"Whoever he loves to worry about who worries goes! Neither of them is my business! Those two who have no conscience, who has called me over the years? It wasn't until Bronya saw me that she said something cool...... When did she come to me on her own initiative?! ”

Apricot seems to be angry with Bronya's attitude, especially when she first met her, and she didn't even say anything like "I miss you so much".

"No, Miss Xing, I think you misunderstood, I know the captain, she often buries things in her heart, and also mentions your affairs with me a little."

"Really? Did Bronya really talk to you about me? ”

"Really, she said you were missing, and she looked for you for a while, but she didn't find you, so she gave up......"

"Don't give up!!"

Although it was Rin's words to comfort Apricot, Apricot also took it seriously. Unlike Bronya, who can see her own lies, Apricot doesn't seem to feel that Rin is lying, but telling the truth. She grabbed Rin by the neck and glared at his face as if she were staring at Bronya herself.

"Do you know how sad I am during this time? I've always treated them as my closest people, and we've fought before, but now I don't think about them at all, don't you? Can you understand? ”

"What does this have to do with me, hey! You're going to complain and go to them!! ”

At this moment, the door of the church opened, and two Valkyries entered, none other than Captain Bronia, whom Rin was familiar with, and Captain Cier.

The two of them walked in almost at the same time, and when they walked in, Xing just grabbed Rin's neck and yelled at him, startling the melon-eating crowd on the side.

"Sister Bronya! And also...... Uh, who is it? ”

When Ci'er saw Mo Manglei, she waved to her slightly, and gestured to say hello to the little nun Mo Manlei who she met for the first time.

"You two are here to pick you up." Xing hurriedly let go of Rin, and then pretended to be fine, and shook his hand to the side, cocking Erlang's legs.

"Sister Xing...... Xing, I haven't seen you for a long time, but after so many years, you actually became a nun in the Arc Star Church. ”

When Ciel recognized Apricot, she walked straight up, took Apricot's hand, and excitedly asked her about her recent situation.

"The apricots are ripening a lot now, I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"

"Hehe, Xi'er, do you care so much about Uncle Ben? Unlike some dumb guy, sure enough, Ci'er is gentle and considerate. ”

Ciel and Apricot turned their heads and looked at Bronya with a "disdainful" expression, and Bronya also showed a dumbfounded expression, as if she had deliberately done it for Bronya.

"Great, Cier! I thought you didn't care about me, like someone, didn't want me anymore, woo woo woo ......"

"Okay, Sister Xing, don't do this...... Snot! Snot!! ”

Rin on the side looked at Apricot with a rather disdainful expression, and when Xi'er noticed that Rin was staring at her, she seemed to be a little embarrassed and turned her head away. When Apricot finished rubbing Ciel, Bronia handed Cier a handkerchief and motioned for her to wipe the snot on Apricot rubbing her body just now. Then say goodbye to the apricot.

"So, let's go, Apricot."

When Xing said goodbye to the two, he restrained his long-standing nature, pretended to be holy and peaceful, interlocked his fingers, put them on his chest and made a prayer, and saw off everyone:

"May the Lord of forgiveness bless you, my sisters."

After saying goodbye to Xing and Mo Manlei, the three of them took the Haira and headed for the road back to their destiny. It's already night, and Bronya asks Rin if she has had dinner, to which Rin replies that he ate the chickpea paste and bread prepared by Jasmine Bud, which is a little hard to swallow, but it is still dinner.

"It's been a long time since you've cared so much about other people, Bronia." Ciel folded her hands on her chest and smiled as she spoke.

But Bronya disagreed, and with a skeptical expression, she looked at Ciel and said to her:

"I've always cared about you, Xi'er, but you've not been very kind to me since the 'Anno Collapse' happened."

"Hehe, is my attitude not very good? Have it? ”

"Do you still hate me for that?"

"It's not for this reason that people always change, and Bronya, you should know that...... I'm not the same Ciel I used to be who only shouted 'Sister Bronya'. ”

It seems that the atmosphere between the two people does not get along very well, and Rin stays by Bronya's side all the time, not daring to squeak. Then, the two of them began to stop talking again, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Seeing this, Rin asked Bronya:

"Captain, Captain Five...... Didn't you have a close relationship with you before? ”

Bronya, on the other hand, did not answer Rin, but reminded him not to mind the matter between her and Captain Cier, which was a private matter between the two of them. Ciel noticed Rin, and it seemed that from that day on, Ciel felt that Rin was a malleable talent, so she proposed to him:

"By the way, Rin, you're a special kid, if it weren't for Bronya...... It's more promising with me, would you like to come and give it a try? ”

"No, Captain Ciel, Captain Bronya has been very good to me, I'm a little used to leaving her."

"What's so good about her?"

Ciel looked at Bronya with a look of disgust, and the two of them didn't get along very well from just now now.

"A lot, my mother needs a lot of money to treat the disease, if it weren't for the captain, I guess I wouldn't have been able to scrape together a lot of money to pay for the medical expenses in a short period of time."

"This ...... I can do this kind of thing, what is Bronya, is she as strong as me? ”

And Bronya, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and walked up to Xi'er, showing a look that seemed to be a little sorry, looking at Xi'er who was losing her temper.

"What's wrong? Bronya. ”

"It's nothing, I don't expect you to forgive me, but please trust me, everything I did during the Honkai Era was for your safety...... Ciel. ”

"I've said it all! Not for this reason! If I hadn't seen Sister Xing for a long time, I wouldn't have come with you, Bronya. ”

Rin knew that even though these two people used to be like sisters, something that happened between them five years ago created an invisible barrier between them, and their relationship changed. However, he could feel that Ciel still vaguely cared about Bronya, otherwise he would not answer her call and meet with him at Bronya's suggestion.

If you have a good relationship with her, it seems that you can ease the relationship between the captain and Xi'er. Rin seemed to think so at this point.

After returning to Destiny, Ciel said that she would not let Bronya send her back, so Bronya and Rin walked in the direction of home.

"What did you do, Captain? Captain Ciel ...... What kind of person was he before? ”

"I'm sorry, but that's not something you should know, Corporal Rin, your top priority is to take care of your body. Every time this happens, the whole team is worried about you, how are you going to carry out the mission if you go on like this? ”

"I'm sorry, Captain."

When Bronya said these words, she was a little emotional, and she didn't know if it was influenced by Ci'er.

After saying some angry words, she realized that letting the overlord invade her body was not a decision that Rin wanted to make, and she couldn't blame him.

So, Bronya immediately apologized to Rin:

"No, I'm the one who apologizes, Rin, I shouldn't have put you in danger."

Rin knew that Bronya was because Captain Xi'er's affairs affected her emotions, so she would subconsciously say some angry things to herself, which was not her intention.

"It's okay, Captain, I know you're probably not in a good mood today...... That way, I'll go to Dr. Edward tomorrow and you won't have to worry about me. ”

"In the future, I will become stronger, and then protect Captain Bronya, protect Lin Qi and Ritter, and protect all of you."

Bronya seemed startled when she heard Rin say "I'm going to get stronger" for the first time, and she looked at the boy who was several years younger than she had ever been.

"Then go for it...... I'm very optimistic about you, Rin, and it's true that I took a fancy to you and let you come under my tutelage. ”

"Thank you for your cultivation, captain, I will also live up to expectations and fulfill your expectations."

After the night had passed, Rin went to the First Medical Department early the next morning, where Dr. Edward was there. He's in the process of treating several people right now, so Rin has to wait until he's done talking to him about yesterday.

He knew that Dr. Edward was Aiden, and he was the only one who knew about it, so he naturally went to talk to him about the retention of the "overlord cells" in his body.

By the time Dr. Edward came out of the door, more than an hour had passed, and when he saw Rin sitting there waiting for him, he motioned for Rin to hurry into the room and talk. After entering the office, Aiden hurriedly locked the door, for fear that someone outside would suddenly come in and disturb the secret conversation between the two people.

Aiden opened his mouth and said to him:

"Yesterday, you knocked Bronya unconscious after losing control, and also injured Lin Qi and Ritter, fortunately her injuries are not very serious, otherwise, I don't know what to do."

"I don't remember anything at that time." Rin said truthfully to Dr. Aiden.

Aiden, on the other hand, remembered something, and hurriedly asked Rin something about his condition when he was unconscious:

"Did you see anything strange in your consciousness yesterday, like someone else's?"

"I saw the consciousness of the overlord, and he tried to forcibly invade my body, but later, I felt that my spirit gradually stabilized, so I kept resisting him." Rin replied.

"Great, it looks like my potion has helped you."

Originally, Aiden thought that the drug he injected Rin had failed, so it caused him to go on a rampage for the second time, but this did not seem to be the case, and Aiden was relieved.

"But...... Doctor, look at this. ”

I saw Rin concentrate and conjure up a pair of crimson scaly armor and attach it to his right hand. It was the scale armor made of "Overlord Cells", and Aiden recognized it at a glance.

"What...... Can you control it autonomously? ”

"That's right."

Next, Rin told the dream she had when she was unconscious, 1510.

He dreamed that he was in a world of ice and snow, fighting countless living dead, and this went on for a long time. In his subjective feelings, it seemed as if three full days had passed. In the end, under the guidance of the overlord consciousness, he mastered all the power of the overlord and was able to get out of trouble. And, after waking up, he seems to be able to channel this power as well.

"It seems that the overlord is consciously guiding you, as his host, he must want to make you stronger, so he is training you."

"I also think so, I haven't told the captain about this yet, I'm afraid she will worry, after all, I hurt her once."

"Alas, don't mention it, your captain kept chanting your name when he was knocked unconscious by you, don't mention how worried about you is."

"So I didn't dare to tell her, I was afraid that she would have PTSD (traumatic stress syndrome)."

Aiden, on the other hand, tells him that since the Overlord has entrusted all of his abilities to Rin, as long as he doesn't overuse it, then there will be no loss of control. I also wanted to see if this ability would cause damage to Rin's physical condition.

"Then, I want to test this ability of yours, I will call Akia to analyze this ability of yours together, let's go to the training ground together."

"Okay."

At Aiden's suggestion, Aqia was called as the deputy of the experiment, and the three of them immediately went to the actual combat training ground located in Area A of the Heavenly Mandate Maitreya City. This is where the Valkyrie and Ash Agents of Destiny often come on weekdays, and because they can simulate real battles through neural links, each combatant can get a boost in combat without taking any physical damage.

However, since it is a spiritual link, the damage received during the virtual training will cause more or less mental damage to the user. This time here, it is inevitable that you will also meet some old acquaintances, such as training maniac Ritter. and Captain Bronya, who is in the simulated training area and is conducting simulated combat training by linking to the imaginary number network.

"Doctor, look, Captain, why is she here?"

"Eh, really, did she wake up so early?"

"No...... When she's fine, she usually gets up late, I don't know what's going on today, she's not the kind of person who comes here to train, huh? ”

The two of them followed Rin's gaze and saw that it was Bronya, who was using a training machine at this moment, connecting the spirit and the training machine, and conducting actual combat training in it.

"Since yesterday, the captain has been a little emotional, so maybe he wants to vent, let's not bother her and go busy with us."

"I'm afraid she'll find out, and I'll have to find a reason then...... By the way, let's just say that after my assessment, you are already able to fight, so I will test your combat situation, and that's it. ”

"Good idea."

So, Aiden and Rin came to the interior of the training ground, an empty room, where there were about a dozen training machines that could be linked to the virtual training world at the same time.
