That brought them back to the question:
What could these materials ultimately be fused into?
High in the sky, the biting wind did not affect Austin in the slightest. It was steadier and swifter than flying in a plane as he stood above the clouds and looked down upon the world below.
The higher one climbed, the colder it became. Sometimes, he could even understand Imu's feelings.
When a casual point of the finger could wipe out a country and the lives of millions, then to a certain extent, one was no longer human.
A little arrogance—
Calling oneself a god was not entirely incomprehensible.
Though Austin possessed such a height and perspective, his personality ensured that he would never truly detach himself from the world. Instead, he greatly enjoyed the pleasure of being within it.
Especially when he was with people he liked, doing interesting things together—like playing a game, acting as the one at the controls and deciding the future direction of the world.
And so, a thought gradually formed in his mind.
Why...
Did Imu have to be the final boss?
Of course, they were only immature thoughts. Even if they ultimately failed, it did not matter.
New World, Egghead Island.
With a clear, resounding cry, Austin officially landed.
Compared to before, this place seemed to have changed once again. Everything carried an even stronger sense of advanced technology.
The moment Austin landed, Vegapunk sensed his presence and hurried out of the laboratory.
"You're back, Austin!!!"
"Long time no see, Dr. Vegapunk."
The last time Austin vanished from Egghead Island, he had directly returned to the past. When he came back, he had appeared out on the sea.
This was the first time he had met Vegapunk again since then.
The two headed toward Vegapunk's laboratory together.
