After Luo and Basak decided to stay, the problem they faced was no longer the simple choice between Master Asia and the mission. It was a critical matter concerning their personal safety: the Devil Gundam.
Neither Luo nor Basak knew what the Devil Gundam was. Without seeing it firsthand or learning about it, they could never truly grasp its terror from someone else's words alone. But they knew that anything Xiao Ran had repeatedly emphasized as terrifying had to be truly frightening.
The Devil Gundam, which possessed DG Cells—or rather, had been created from DG Cells—had originally been a unit designed to restore Earth's environment. Yet an accident had caused its programming to mutate. To restore Earth, it now had to eliminate all humanity.
The Devil Gundam possessed three powerful abilities: self-replication, self-regeneration, and self-evolution. Each ability could give rise to even more capabilities. It could create countless underlings, ignore injuries, regrow severed parts in an instant, grow as large as Earth itself, or even devour the entire planet. It was simply not something Luo and Basak could handle at their current level.
Of course, considering the Devil Gundam at this point in time, perhaps Luo and Basak still had a chance to resist it.
What they had to face was a massive boss-level existence, whether in games or anime. Not only did they have to confront the Devil Gundam, but they also had to complete the other task Xiao Ran had assigned them.
"DG Cells." Luo rubbed his chin and looked at Basak. "It's something Xiao Ran specifically told us to obtain. Now that we've decided to stay and take a look, he also said that the Devil Gundam seemed to be in Shinjuku City. That means we'll definitely run into it. Did you find out anything unusual?"
