"This really was a cheat. Hey, System, I was aching all over and feeling awful just now. How was I suddenly all better?"

"Host, the Nano Suit was affected by external factors and has been enhanced and upgraded.

It has gained healing capabilities. The host's bloodline has also been partially affected. Please check the Attribute Panel for details."

Main Page: Host: Xiao Shan (Current Identity: Thor Kni) Main World: Gundam SEED World Current World: Gundam G World Strength: 10 +10 Constitution: 10+10 Speed: 10+10 Soul Power: 10 Bloodline: Nano Body (possesses some characteristics of DG Cells) Talents: Devour and Evolve, Self-Regeneration Skills: None ~~~ Pilot Attributes Endurance: 100/100 Spirit: 200/200 Shooting: 30 Melee: 30 Technique: 30 Reaction: 60 Defense: 10+50 Pilot Skill: General MS, MA Piloting E-Rank Pilot Spirit: Focus

"Ah... a mutated Nano Body with DG Cell characteristics. I'm not even human anymore. I really have become a mechanical skeleton soldier."

Thor Kni immediately checked whether his little brother was still there. After confirming it, he sighed.

"Thankfully, my little brother is still here. At least my gender hasn't changed. It still feels like flesh and blood, so it should be fine, right?"

"System, what exactly am I now? This won't affect my future permission upgrades, will it?"

"Host, you are not dead. Your bloodline has merely changed, so there is no issue.

Higher beings are not necessarily human. Evolution itself possesses the possibility of mutation."

"That's not too bad, then. I've taken enough beatings from society that I can handle this much mentally.

Good thing I'm not contagious, or I'd destroy all life in the world.

Wait, the Nano Suit can infect and assimilate things. Isn't that basically the same? What a tragedy."

"Host, the Nano Suit's infectivity is controlled by the host and is an active skill.

It will not infect anything unless used. After infection, the assimilation state can also be reclaimed. Please use it without concern."

"Oh, alright? (ˉ?ˉ?) Then I'll just go with the flow. At least I won't need to worry about units in the future.

Right now, the main task is getting out of this hellhole as fast as possible."

"Otherwise, if Domon Kasshu gets here, I'll be screwed. And there isn't enough food, either.

Though I didn't seem hungry anymore. Could it be because of the mutated DG Cells? Had I really become a robot?

"Host, rest assured. Most of your body remains human. The DG Cells make up only a small portion and can coexist with other bloodlines.

Like the nanobots in the special forces movies you have watched, they can devour metal, repair wounds, and read other people's memories."

"It can even do that? Read other people's memories? System, will the person whose memories are read die?"

"Host, that is optional. After devouring brain cells, they can be repaired, and the subject will not die.

False memories can also be implanted. If they are not repaired, there is a slight possibility of brain death."

"Uh, that's way too evil... but I like it. Hehehe.

At least I won't have to fear language barriers wherever I go in the future. Still, I should use it less. I need to have some bottom line.

Enough thinking. Escaping comes first."

Devil Gundam General-Purpose Prototype Transformable MF S-Class Unit HP: 22000 EN: 1500 Mobility: 300 Armor: 2000 Terrain Adaptability: Sea A, Land A, Air A, Space A Cockpit Environment: Biological Unit Core Power Source: DG Cells (restores 10% HP and EN every minute) Size: Height 23.9 meters Weight: 84.9 tons Armor Materials and Structure: Gundanium Alloy, Super Ceramic Composite Material, rare metal hybrid multilayer material, generator output, DG Cells Fixed Armaments: 2× twin-mounted 60mm Vulcan Cannons on the head (Attack Power 500), 2× shoulder claws (3500), Beam Cannon (Attack Power 4200/Energy Cost 40), Scattering Particle Bomb (3600), Gundam Head Gang Beatdown MAP (5000)

Thor Kni took a look at the Devil Gundam. It was far too powerful for him to handle, so he could only sneak out slowly by following the other DG Skeleton Soldiers.

He had no idea where they were going, but he needed to leave this place that resembled an incubation chamber first.

One by one, the DG Skeleton Soldiers climbed onto One-eyed Robots from the Death Army. Thor gritted his teeth, climbed aboard one as well, and followed them out of the base.

After leaving, he stayed at the rear and gradually drifted away from the group. Once he felt the timing was right, he immediately made his escape.

"This should count as a unit too, right? Can it be assimilated? Let's try it. Nano Suit, begin assimilation."

[Command received... Beginning assimilation... Assimilation complete... Releasing disguise data.]

"It can even do that? Calling it Nano Suit all the time feels weird. We'll be together for the rest of my life, after all.

I should give you a name. How about Nami? Set your virtual appearance to Nami from King of Pirates, too.

It'd be even better if you could make yourself look like that when you become independent."

Thor Nick drooled as he fantasized. (Nami from King of Pirates—everyone knows what that means. She was nice to look at.)

[Master, Nami received.]

"Holy crap, it's that smart? It got it done so quickly?

Alright, can the unit's appearance be changed? The Death Army's units are really ugly.

At the very least, I should give it the appearance of a ZAFT Army Zaku first. Since they're both one-eyed, it should blend in just fine.

If I turn it into a Gundam, even if I get a chance to bring it back, it'll be hard to explain.

The Earth Alliance and Orb have only just built theirs together. If I make something similar, that'll be a real problem."

"Nami, change the disguise appearance into a Zaku that can fly.

Make it yellow for now. Change it back to the original when we return.

Add a beam gun to its existing weapons... wouldn't that make it like Michael's Custom Zaku? Good, let's go with that for now.

Nami, save this current form. I'll use it when I return."

[Master, Nami received. Connected to the master's brain memories. Beginning disguise. Disguise complete. Unit parameters are as follows.]

Reinforced Gear D+ Class Unit HP: 1600 EN: 240 Mobility: 80 Armor: 400 Terrain Adaptability: Sea C, Land B, Sky B, Space B Enhanced thruster and sensor performance Cockpit Environment: Panoramic Monitor, Integrated Man-Machine System Power Source: New DG Cells (restores 10% HP and EN every minute) Size: Height to top of head 21.43 meters (the antenna is just absurdly long) Weight: Base Weight: 78.5 tons Armor: Super Ceramic Composite Material, New DG Cells Fixed Armaments: MA-M3 Heavy Sword (600); MMI-M636K Beam Rifle (1000/5); MMI-M8A3 76mm Heavy Machine Gun (500); Beam Shield

"Can you directly read the contents of my memories? I didn't feel anything at all. Fine, I'm already not a normal person anyway.

The cockpit is still the G Gundam-style integrated man-machine system? At least it's easy to operate.

Okay, this will do. I'll get out first and find some units to assimilate later. Then I can modify them freely. I'll assimilate a standard cockpit when I get back."
