Death... and me

Chapter 2688 Armor Discussion



Chapter 2688  Armor Discussion

Everyone didn't care about Rean's laments, though. They were many times more interested in his armor that they couldn't even tell it was there before. "How do you have the same thing as them?!"

Rean shook his head, though. "I don't. This is something I created recently, and it took me and many other experts from my Dimensional Realm many years to bring out to life. Also, their ones are absolutely many times more advanced than mine. Didn't you hear Red's words? They can change their bodies to look exactly the same as those they capture. Mine isn't anywhere near as useful."

Of course, Rean had his Body Transformation Skill, but he wouldn't tell them that.

"Also, during the battle you had against them, I checked their defense and runes activating speed. Everything in their armor had surpassed my own. It isn't that hard to believe, though. Much of this armor's properties were based on the runes I found in the Ruins of the Stars. Some of you here have probably heard how that Spaceship seemed to repair itself every time it received damage from attacks, right? My armor follows the same principle."

Indeed, back in the Ruins of the Stars, the experts tried many times to destroy the outer shell of the Spaceship to get inside. Unfortunately, any damage they caused to the shell aways repaired themselves, so they couldn't enter. Only after the twins helped did everyone manage to get inside.

"If the Ruins of the Stars already had those properties all those years ago, then it is obvious the experts who built them have evolved even more in their techniques and craft," Rean concluded.

The Semi-Celesitals narrowed their eyes... except Bracius and Xude. Those armors didn't really surprise them. Rean then smiled brightly at those two. "Our friends of the Vruve Organization here just so happen to be wearing similar armor to mine."

Bracius snorted. In the same way that Rean noticed the existence of their armor, so did Bracius and Xude about the twins' pieces. "Hmph! We do have similar ones, but ours were also created in-house. We have nothing to do with those guys from outside."

That was news for all the Semi-Celesitals. Even Kafan wasn't aware that the Vruves had those armors before Rean mentioned them. Those armors merged with their skin, so, from the outside, it didn't seem like they were wearing anything. Considering the Vruves seemed to have knowledge about the Ruins of the Stars, it wasn't hard to believe that, though. It just bothered everyone the fact that the Vruves were even more secretive than they expected. For example, these armors had never appeared on the body of any of the other experts of the Vruve Organization before. It was obvious only experts at the Semi-Celestial Level or perhaps Peak Stage Divinity Realm from the organization could wear them. "Enough!" Gragatou then stopped those questions. "Whether they have armor or not, the fact is that they could use it to change their bodies to look just like others. None of us noticed any difference before they revealed themselves, and that's the issue. What we need to work on is how we can identify those experts from outside."

"I have an idea," Rean quickly commented. Xude and Bracius could guess what, as well. "Using our armors to create something capable of detecting similar equipment?"

Rean nodded. "It is good that the sirs from the Vruve Organization understood. So far, your organization has been considered the strongest in the Universe, so I'm sure you can come up with something capable of detecting other pieces of armor, right? You seem to have the technology for it."

"Hmph!" Xude didn't seem interested. "That would also help detect our own. Besides, even though I can tell your self-created armor is at a lower level than ours, you still managed to make one. Shouldn't you be able to make something similar?"

"I would love too!" Rean seemed to get where he wanted. "Even better than that, how about I make an armor for everyone? You all saw their properties, so I believe you would love to have one at your disposal, right, everyone?"

The eyes of the Semi-Celesitals lit up. Those System Armors helped a Semi-Celesital fight another four to a standstill. That wasn't something they could do with their power at the moment.

"Hahaha!" Bracius laughed in response. "Are you all truly going to accept his creations? I might as well tell you this. The complexity of these armors is no joke. It would be way too easy to make a small alteration to these armors that he could activate at any moment in case you ever turn against him."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "The same goes for you, no?"

"Yes," Braciius didn't deny. "So there is no point to even ask us for that. We will definitely alter them so they can't be used against us. Would any of you accept such armor?"

Sophia pondered a bit before asking. "Rean, right? Couldn't you simply share the method of crafting one? That way, we can make our own and not fear that it will turn against us."

Rean shrugged his shoulders. "That's possible... but it won't resolve the issue. It's like Bracius mentioned. The method to create one is incredibly complex."

"Exactly," Xude agreed with Rean, knowing about the Vruve's own process. "I'm not looking down on you, but you definitely won't be able to spot what is wrong in the crafting method that could be used to turn your armor against you. Your knowledge about the technology from otuside the Universe is just that lacking, and we sure as well won't share our own knowledge."

"Even if the Universe is at risk of being conquered by the outsiders?" Gragatou asked back.

"Even that!" Xude nodded, not caring at all.

"Let's leave it aside for now." Kafan then intervened. "We can think about the armor later. So, Rean, Bracius, and Xude, could you at least come up with a method to identify these armors? You can alter it so that this method can't be used against your own armor if you want. What we need now is to be able to find these outsiders within our ranks. Otherwise, this will be a lost battle from the start, even for the Vruve Organization."

Xude and Bracius narrowed their eyes. They didn't want to, but at least that much could be considered, especially since Rean seemed to be able to make something similar, even if it was of a lower level. "We can work on something once we get out of this place. But first, we need to get whatever those guys wanted form that tower."
