Xiao Ran had never personally piloted the Soul Slayer before, but even though he wasn't familiar with the various systems and abilities of the Soul Slayer, he was still familiar with them, not to mention the location of the cockpit. However, Nie pretended not to know anything in front of Corgi and Bismarck. He just stood at the foot of the 40-meter-tall Soul Slayer and looked at the huge red Soul Slayer without saying a word, as if he didn't know how to get into the cockpit of this huge Soul Slayer.
Corgi laughed when he saw Xiao Ran's Nie. His smile contained some arrogance and a little disdain. He walked to the huge foot of the Soul Slayer and pressed a button. A fake armor plate instantly moved away and revealed a button. He pressed the button and the cockpit on the chest of the Soul Slayer slowly opened. Then, a lift rope quickly slid down.
After the lift rope came down, Corgi nodded at Xiao Ran with a smile. Xiao Ran also stepped on the lift rope and pressed the button on the handle. As the lift rope rose, he jumped into the cockpit.
After sitting in the cockpit, Xiao Ran was not in a hurry. He first scanned the inside of the cockpit and used his psychokinesis to check if there were any strange devices installed by the Scarlet Knights, such as monitoring devices.
After a round of inspection, Xiao Ran didn't find anything strange in the cockpit. At least on the surface, the entire cockpit seemed normal. It seemed that Corgi didn't intend to do anything to the Soul Slayer. However, whether the internal system and structure of the Soul Slayer had been tampered with was not something that could be detected in a short period of time. Even if Xiao Ran could completely rewrite the Soul Slayer's system, at least now was not the right time to do so.
Of course, Xiao Ran didn't need to explain much about how to pilot the Soul Slayer, but in the eyes of others, such as Corgi and Bismarck, it was a completely different matter. This was a brand-new Soul Slayer, and one that didn't belong to this world at all. It was definitely not a simple matter to fully understand and operate it flexibly.
In fact, Bismarck was still wondering if Xiao Ran would be able to control this body, and when would he be able to unleash the power of this body?
Before Xiao Ran boarded the cockpit of this Soul Slayer, perhaps Corgi had the intention of watching Xiao Ran make a fool of himself. He didn't tell Xiao Ran how to start and operate this Soul Slayer. Therefore, from this point of view, Corgi's attitude in front of Bismarck more or less reflected his true thoughts. As a participant, he didn't fully believe the nonsense that Xiao Ran said, so he wanted to see the natives make a fool of themselves.
Xiao Ran sat in the cockpit for a long time without making any movements, which made Bismarck and Corgi have different thoughts in their minds. Little did they know that Xiao Ran was deliberately stalling for time and didn't do anything to the Soul Slayer.
After Xiao Ran slowly pressed the button to start the Soul Slayer's system and closed the cockpit, Bismarck and Corgi finally heard the sound of the Soul Slayer's various systems being activated. At the same time, they saw the Soul Slayer's eyes and several places slowly lighting up with red lights. This made Bismarck and Corgi quickly retreat as if they were afraid that Xiao Ran would stomp them into a pulp.
After closing the cockpit, Xiao Ran pulled out the keyboard under the system screen with familiarity. Usually, the cockpit of these Bodies was equipped with a normal operating keyboard. Even if the technical level reached the level of installing a virtual keyboard, the virtual keyboard would only be used as a supplement. The reason was that the physical keyboard was more convenient and faster to operate.
After pulling out the keyboard, Xiao Ran began to check and rewrite the entire Body Slayer's system. The Body Slayer was obtained from the Scarlet Knights. Of course, Xiao Ran couldn't maintain a trusting attitude towards them. Besides, he would be piloting this Body Slayer in the future, so it was natural for him to rewrite the system.
After a quick in-depth check of the Body Slayer's system, Xiao Ran did not directly rewrite the system parameters. Instead, he took out his personal communicator, pulled out a line from the communicator, and opened a panel on the system panel. After that, he connected the personal communicator to the Body Slayer's computer. Next, he began to rewrite the system parameters on both the personal communicator and the Body Slayer.
This time, the system rewrite for the Soul Slayer wasn't as simple as the system rewrite for Lancelot. In Lancelot's system rewrite, Xiao Ran only rewrote the data and the changes to the overall structure of the system were minimal. However, this time, for the Soul Slayer that he obtained from the Sanguine Knight, Xiao Ran was going to completely rewrite all the data, parameters, and underlying structure of the entire system.
It was like a computer installed with a system. Under Xiao Ran's quick operation, everything inside was completely reformatted and reinstalled with the OS system. The computer was still the same computer, but the system was completely different.
Bismarck and Corgi, who had retreated far away, looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea what Xiao Ran was trying to do after activating half of the mech's power.
On the surface, Bismarck was still on Xiao Ran's side. After all, Xiao Ran was a Knight of the Round Table. Bismarck laughed and said to Corgi, "I think we'll have to wait a little longer. This Body Slayer may still be a little too unfamiliar to Knight Lelouch. He may still be familiarizing himself with it."
"Understandable, understandable." Corgi waved his hand and nodded with a smile. When he turned to look at the Soul Slayer, he frowned slightly. In his heart, he did not think that Xiao Ran was simply familiarizing himself with the Body Slayer. After all, Xiao Ran had left a deep impression on him. Even though he looked down on Xiao Ran for being a native, he also felt that Xiao Ran was not a simple person. There was no movement in the Soul Slayer. It was a little too unreasonable to say that Zhang Heng was just familiarizing himself with the Body Slayer's system.
Xiao Ran was sitting in the cockpit more relaxed than the two below. He was rewriting the system while confirming the Body Slayer's system.
Just as Xiao Ran thought at the beginning, the XN Holy Spirit System did not exist at all. However, in addition to the lack of the Holy Spirit System, the Body Slayer also lacked a special system that originally existed. It was a special system that could directly transmit the pilot's thoughts to the Body Slayer. Many Bodies in the OG world were equipped with similar systems, but this Soul Slayer did not have such a system.
As for other aspects, there were no problems with the Wind Shield, the Five Great Swords, and other equipment. Except for the lack of the first two systems, the rest of the equipment was exactly the same as a normal Body Slayer. Naturally, the Doppelganger System was also present. After a comprehensive consideration of the parameters and equipment, the Soul Slayer was undoubtedly a Grade B + Body Slayer. Although it was still a far cry from Xiao Ran's current pilot level, it was already considered a Divine Armament compared to the Lancelot. It was a more suitable Body Slayer for Xiao Ran to use.
Although the Soul Slayer was a Body Slayer with lower armor due to its pursuit of speed and agility, it was considered sturdy because it was a Super Combat Body Slayer. If it was piloted steadily, there was no need to worry about the short duration problem that Lancelot had. Besides, with Xiao Ran's personal ability, piloting this Grade B + Body Slayer would allow him to display the strength of an A Rank Body Slayer. In other words, now that he had obtained this Body Slayer, Xiao Ran already possessed the combat strength of an A Rank Body Slayer. What was even funnier was that such a Body Slayer was obtained from an opponent.
Xiao Ran had the same thought. It was very generous of the Scarlet Knights to offer such a Body Slayer. However, it was definitely not the best Body Slayer among the Scarlet Knights. It might not even rank in the top three. In other words, the Scarlet Knights' true strength was stronger than he initially thought. After all, according to the information he received, there were 16 participants above the Epic Stage in this mission. Corgi was one of them. Now that he had obtained the Soul Slayer, Xiao Ran also possessed the combat strength to contend with these participants, unlike before when he could only guard a shapeshifting fighter that was used as a means of transportation.
On the other hand, Xiao Ran was also wondering what the Soul Slayer was to the Scarlet Knights. Now that the Scarlet Knights had so generously offered the Body Slayer and unbound it, it seemed to indicate that the Body Slayer was not that important to the Scarlet Knights. Was it a mass-produced Body Slayer built by the Scarlet Knights themselves, or was it obtained in the mission world? If it was the former, then the Scarlet Knights' foundation was even more complicated.
Of course, Corgi's courage and decisiveness to be able to offer such a powerful Body Slayer to Xiao Ran was probably to gain the approval of Xiao Ran and Lelouch, as well as to gain the support and help of Xiao Ran and Lelouch. It was also to show his sincerity that Corgi was not as simple as he appeared to be.
After the system was completely overwritten, Xiao Ran quickly used the new system to perform a self-check on the Body Slayer. Similarly, through the Burning Legion's system, he did not find any problems with the Soul Slayer. It was basically certain that Corgi had handed over the Body Slayer to Xiao Ran. Corgi's determination and courage were indeed not something an ordinary participant could achieve. As for the final disassembly and inspection, it would have to wait until later.
After the system modification was completed, Xiao Ran also rebooted the Body Slayer's system. Then, he turned on the loudspeaker button. "Sorry for making you wait. I spent some time to understand the Body Slayer and modified some system parameters. Now that everything is done, I'm going to perform a practical test on the Body Slayer."
Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, Corgi nodded slightly. However, he was actually a little surprised, especially when he heard that Xiao Ran had modified the system. Even though he wasn't sure to what extent the modifications were, it wasn't something an ordinary person could do. He was a little curious about it and decided to ask Xiao Ran about the specifics when he had the chance to talk to him alone.
On the other hand, Bismarck revealed a relaxed smile after hearing Xiao Ran's voice. He was worried that Xiao Ran couldn't operate such a huge Body Slayer. And now, after hearing that Xiao Ran had indeed spent some time to understand the Body Slayer and modify the system, it proved that Xiao Ran was capable of operating such a huge Body Slayer. Not only did he not disgrace the Knights of the Round Table, but he could also become a Knight of the Round Table and become an important force of the Empire.
In addition to these, because of the system modification mentioned by Xiao Ran, Bismarck guessed that since Xiao Ran could modify the Body Slayer's system and drive it, did that mean that the Blood Knights' Body Slayer could indeed be popularized? If he could obtain samples or technologies from the Blood Knights, he could quickly manufacture a batch of such Body Slayer and deploy them to strengthen the Empire's combat strength.
The only thing left was to let Xiao Ran drive the Body Slayer and confirm what kind of power it possessed.
That was why Bismarck yelled, "You can start the test now."
After Bismarck finished speaking, he immediately took out his phone and contacted the headquarters of the Empire's Defense Army. With a few simple sentences, he informed them about the test of the new Body Slayer. This was also to prevent unnecessary tension and misunderstandings caused by Xiao Ran's test.
"Understood." Xiao Ran said softly and turned off the external loudspeaker. His hands began to move in the cockpit unhurriedly. He pressed a few buttons and pushed the auxiliary lever. As the thrusters in various parts of the Body Slayer ejected bright lights, Xiao Ran stepped on the ground with both feet and pulled with his left hand. The Soul Slayer's legs bent slightly and launched into the sky in an instant.
