The faintly glowing mist of particles was like a long snake with intelligence as it shuttled and drifted over the entire East Genix Island, forming clouds that shrouded everyone below, be it the Seventh Special Team and the East Genix Elite Team who were participating in the test exercise, or the ordinary Pandora who had nothing to do with watching the show.
In the vision of the Pandora, shadows began to appear in the fog and gradually revealed their true appearance.
"How is this possible!"
"Why are you here!"
"No, no!"
"It's you!"
"…"
With such shock and disbelief, it was as if they had seen a person or scene that was the least likely to appear before their eyes. They let out words of hatred, pain, and gnashed their teeth. One by one, they fell into their own 'worlds' and lost their ability to fight.
Seiji glanced at Gengo Aoki, who was still standing there motionlessly, and thought to himself, "The trial that transcends consciousness has begun … It's really like the process of transforming [Blackening] into [Whitening] in alchemy." Seiji glanced at Gengo Aoki, who was still standing there motionlessly.
"Why didn't you stop the Nova training machine!?"
"What the hell is going on!?"
The other officers who felt their lives were threatened asked loudly with anger and fear.
"Please be quiet, please be quiet!" The staff quickly comforted them. "We are now confirming the situation!"
"How many people will be able to stand in the end …" Amidst the chaos, Aoi Gengo stood up with his hands in his pockets and walked to Shiya Atsuko. "When the resonance begins, the stigmata substance will not accept any external intervention."
"Sure enough, you know …" Shiya Atsuko said softly. "You know everything about this phenomenon."
"How is it? It's not that simple. I don't know everything either. Yes, just like you don't know, I don't know either. No, that's not right. Everyone is the same. Our intelligence … is really just something insignificant. "Gengo Aoi looked at the screen in front of him and said with a cold expression.
While Aoi Gengo and Shiya Atsuko were talking about the resonance phenomenon, Aoi Gengo and Shiya Atsuko were talking about it. Nearly ninety percent of Pandora fell into the fog of particles and completely lost their combat power due to the influence of the images similar to the inner demons that were known through the resonance of the Stigmata. They fell into chaos.
"Doctor, hurry up and go to the command room!" An officer quickly walked to Aoi Gengo and said.
"I'll stay here," Aoi Gengo replied without turning his head.
"It's dangerous here! If the situation continues to worsen... "The officer raised his voice slightly and said urgently.
"I've already said it. Don't worry." Without waiting for the officer to finish speaking, Gengo Aoi slightly turned his head, glanced at the other side with a dignified gaze, and said: "I am here." Continue using the surveillance screen. "
Under Aoi Gengo's gaze. He didn't even dare to say a word. He even swallowed his saliva in fear.
"Then, then, we'll go over first." After pausing for a few seconds. The officer said stiffly.
"Ah." Aoi Gengo replied casually.
"Aren't you going?" After the officer ran away, Aoi Gengo asked Shiya Atsuko, who was standing beside him.
"At this point, I have to admit that we have been played by you from the beginning. No one can surpass you in the research of Stigmata, Dr. Aoi Gengo. This time, I deeply feel it." Shiya Atsuko said with a gloomy face.
"But, can I ask you a question?" Regardless of whether Aoi Gengo agreed or not, Shiya Atsuko continued to ask, "What are those things?"
Aoi Gengo was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "You should have felt it before, those unknown thoughts that can't be recognized …"
Shiya Atsuko's face showed a look of astonishment and disbelief.
"That's right, Pandora is the only interface that can recognize them. Pandora is evolving in the direction of surpassing humans, but after all, it's a puppet created by human hands, so it can't reach true evolution …" Gengo Aoi didn't care about the change in Shiya Atsuko's expression and continued to explain.
Similarly, after hearing this, Shiya Nobuko's expression darkened slightly, revealing an unwilling expression. She then turned her head and looked at Ito Sei.
"Pandora's power is beyond my expectations, but even if I want to understand it, I still can't understand it. After all, it's a human. Sooner or later, it will be swallowed by the thoughts of the other world …" Aoi Gengo kept talking.
Shiya Atsuko's body shook, and her face showed a shocked expression with a hint of fear.
"Hmph, in short, it's a good time, the Pandora plan." Aoi Gengo finally said.
But this time, because of Sei Itō's interference, Aoi Gengo, who didn't have an opportunity to carry out the Valkyrie plan, temporarily fell into a situation where he couldn't send anyone. So after saying those words, he could only watch the process continue, waiting for the most appropriate time to come.
"This won't do." Sei Itō, who was also looking at the situation on the screen, thought in his heart. Then he spread out his Psychic Force, confusing the vision of Aoi Gengo and Shiya Atsuko, creating the illusion that he was still here, then used Instant Transmission to appear outside, summoning Rinbo Rei to his side.
"Rei, activate the armor." Sei Itō whispered softly.
Rinbo Rei didn't say much and immediately activated the armor bracelet on her wrist. Then in a dazzling light, a set of special armor similar to the Zero Machine appeared on her body.
"Use the signal intervention device to connect with the island's surveillance system." Sei Itō ordered again.
As soon as he finished speaking, the crystal eye outside Rinbo Rei's armor flashed red. A special electronic signal that only Ito Sei could sense seeped into the building they were standing on. It infiltrated the monitoring system of Tonje Nikos through the wires buried inside. Although the special armor was small in size, the information processing function equipped with it could reach the quantum level, so in almost a few seconds, it silently obtained partial access to the surveillance system of East Jenks Island.
"Access complete." Rinbo Rei reported softly.
"Lock onto the six Type-S Nova test vehicles and use the plasma cannon to destroy three of them!" Sei Itō quickly ordered.
"Understood." As soon as Rinbo Rei's voice fell, a 100-millimeter rifle-type cannon appeared. Rinbo Rei held her hands flat on her shoulders, and one end of the scope was simply connected to the right eye crystal of the armor, exchanging data between the two.
Soon, a lock-on prompt appeared on the screen of Rinbo Rei's armor.
"Swoosh!" The next second. A soft whistling sound was heard. A pale white ion beam that was thicker than an adult's arm instantly shot out from the muzzle of the cannon in Rinbo Rei's hand. While bringing along a strong wind pressure, it instantly penetrated half of East Jenks Island and hit one of the Type-S Nova models under the shocked and stunned gazes of the East Jenks staff in the command room.
"Boom!" A violent explosion was heard from afar, and in the sudden burst of dazzling light. One of the tall Nova models was blasted into two. The core of its chest was half-destroyed.
However, the attack had just ended. Two more thick ion beams shot out from the distance and hit the other two Type-S Nova test airframes one after another, destroying them.
"The target is silent." Rinbo Rei reported.
"That's enough. All that's left is to wait. "Sei Itō smiled.
Sure enough, just half a minute after Sei Itō's words fell, the reaction signals of all the test vehicles, including the three destroyed Type-S Nova test vehicles, changed from the N1-type signal waveform of the imitation Nova to the N-type signal waveform of the real Nova. Then, they all emitted an invisible impact similar to a superlife wave. With the help of the Flying Orchid engine installed in twelve places on the island and the quantum fog generated by it, it launched a new impact on Pandora.
"Hmm ~" At this time, to everyone's surprise, Rinbo Rei also let out a somewhat uncomfortable groan.
"What's wrong, Rei?" Sei Itō asked with concern.
"It's nothing. I just feel a headache. It seems like something is rushing into my head." Rinbo Rei frowned slightly.
"Hmm? Could it be that the Nova's impact wave can also affect and resonate with Lily's soul or Lily's cells in Rei's body? "Sei Itō frowned. Then he reminded her. "Rei, open the AT position."
Rinbo Rei didn't hesitate and immediately opened the AT position.
"It's done." Rinbo Rei said.
"That's good." Sei Itō breathed a sigh of relief, then refocused his attention on the test field in the distance.
It's just that in the short few seconds when he spoke with Rinbo Rei, the situation on the field changed again. The Stigmata of 90% of the Pandora who fell into the state of Stigmata Resonance became active in an abnormal way, eroding their receptor Pandora and transforming into Nova.
In an instant, strands of sparkling light began to climb up the bodies of the Pandora. At the same time, ink-black crystals that looked like crystal pillars protruded from the places where the Sacred Marks were grown on the backs of the Pandora.
"It's interesting, isn't it? The moment when the old and the new take over. "Aoki Gento whispered to Shiya Atsuko standing beside him.
"If it's expanded into light, it really looks like the energy wings of an angel." Through Rinbo Rei's armor as a relay, Sei Itō, who also saw the changes of the Pandora, thought to himself. "For example, the moment when Lana Lin Qin completed her spiritual transcendence in the original work …"
Then, Sei Itō summoned Shin Rei.
"Hmm ~ There's a bad smell in the air meow." Shin Rei, who had just come out, sniffed her nose and raised her hand to push the glasses on her nose.
"Shin Rei, put on the armor and crush the target. Remember, crush, not break and annihilate!" Sei Itō said. "Zero, send the target's information to her."
"Oh." Shin Rei responded casually. She activated the wristband and put on the small armor that resembled an EVA. Then, she completed the information sharing with Rinbo Rei. Like a flexible monkey, she jumped off the platform and shuttled through East Genix Island at high speed.
At the speed close to the speed of sound, Shin Rei quickly arrived in front of one of the Nova. She leaped high, and her hand was wrapped in a pale golden light that bloomed when the AT field rubbed against the gap. She hit the Nova's body hard.
"Bang!" A large dent appeared on the Nova's chest shell.
"So hard meow!" Shin Rei whispered, then her arm that landed on the Nova rushed forward. A high-frequency vibration that was invisible to the naked eye instantly spread rapidly with her fist as the center. The Nova's shell was shattered, and it flew out of the Nova's body until half of its shoulder fell to the ground.
Ultrasonic shock wave!
"Tsk!" Shin Rei stepped on the Nova's shell and flipped back to the ground. She moved sideways to avoid the Nova's beam attack. She opened her hands, and two broad-bladed greatswords that were as tall as her immediately appeared in her hands. She then spun around the Nova with light and agile steps while slashing at the Nova's body.
In less than ten seconds, Shin Rei, who had completed her attack, rushed to the location of the other Nova without hesitation.
The second she left, the Nova, which had basically maintained its general shape, immediately collapsed, splitting into dozens of broken limbs of different sizes and fell to the ground.
"Is that … Pandora?" The East Genix personnel who saw Shin Rei's performance through the monitoring screen said hesitantly and in shock.
In the same way, Aoi Gengo frowned slightly when he saw Shin Shiba, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face, which made Shiya Atsuko, who had been observing him from the side, secretly gloated.
"So you can also make this kind of expression!"
"Why is there no proliferation? Could it be because Shatiraza didn't exceed the limit in the original work … "Sei Itō frowned as he saw that the Nova's wreckage that was split by Shin Rei did not split and multiply as expected through the screen.
"It seems that to get enough Novas, I need to stimulate them with some external forces."
Thinking of this, Sei Itō immediately spread out his majestic mental power, covering more than half of the artificial island of Genix. He released pressure and waves that were far beyond Pandora's mental realm into the fog of particles, wantonly displaying his power.
Under this exaggerated stimulation, the Nova that thought that Pandora had changed finally reacted. The last Nova that had just been split into several pieces by Shin Rei's overfrequency vibration blade and the Nova's wreckage that had not reacted before had an energy halo appear on the surface. Under the stimulation and energy from these halos, the Nova quickly grew and expanded, transforming into a two-meter-tall humanoid Nova that stood on the ground.
