"What?" Da Vinci cried out in disbelief. She had always been extremely confident in her intelligence; otherwise, she would never have earned the title of universal genius.

Later, Kaan's soldiers modified themselves into bodies with the Undying Body and fought until the very last soldier, finally forcing ORT down to the lowest layer.
