Conqueror!
"Here, get some water."
"Don't rush, the water's hot, drink it slowly."
Beneath the snow-covered fortress, a group of Imperial Army soldiers dressed in winter uniforms were carrying steaming wooden barrels, slowly making their way through the trenches.
As they passed each of their comrades, they would fill their lunchboxes with a cup of scalding hot water.
"Call----"
The soldiers, who were still shaken by their previous experiences, quickly recovered their spirits as they drank mouthfuls of hot water to warm their bodies.
It must be said that Nahashu's method of having hot water made for the soldiers did indeed greatly boost the morale of his side.
Just as they were beginning to relax...
A massive figure, five meters tall, emerged from the opposite line of battle and immediately attracted a large number of surprised and uncertain gazes.
This was a man with long, gray-blue hair and a thick beard, wearing a white and black fur coat, and a black bull horn ornament on each side of his temples.
His expression was icy cold, devoid of any vivid emotion, making him appear extremely ruthless.
This naturally aroused the vigilance of more and more Imperial Army soldiers, who began to aim their automatic rifles at it.
But he continued to advance slowly and silently, making the atmosphere on the field extremely tense once again.
Strangely, the officers and soldiers of the Onigumo Division showed no intention of preparing for battle, simply watching him silently as he faced tens of thousands of troops alone.
"Who is this Titans? And why are there so many Giants on the other side?"
Nahashu said with a furrowed brow.
He's starting to worry that he might encounter an entire army composed of these five- or six-meter-tall Titans.
Just imagining that scene sends chills down my spine.
That's terrifying!
[Beep------]
Just then, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the distance, causing Nahashu and the other generals on the city wall to instinctively close their eyes.
The Onigumo Division, positioned on either side of the tall figure, clearly saw a cross-shaped Golden Flash erupt from his open mouth.
"Isn't that it?"
Onigumo's serious eyes narrowed instantly.
[BIU!]
The Flashy Flash transformed into a beam of light, instantly traversing hundreds of meters of battlefield and landing within the Imperial Army's lines.
The next second.
With a deafening roar, a fiery red bowl suddenly rose into the air, engulfing everything within a radius of fifty meters in flames.
Nearby soldiers were thrown into the air like rag dolls by the Shockwave, letting out screams of extreme terror.
When the Huoguang faded, the ground, which was once frozen soil, was revealed.
It was already a scorched pit nearly two meters deep, with lava flowing everywhere!
"Really."
"So this 'Conqueror' is just a robot with a portion of Admiral Kizaru's Flashy Flash ability?" Onigumo looked at Vinsmoke Judge standing beside him.
"Of course, the 'CR-0,' which I helped develop, is more than just that. Keep reading to find out."
While monitoring the various data on the computer screens operated by the three junior researchers, Vinsmoke Judge also watched the 'first-person perspective' view displayed on another screen.
This is because the Sea Star currently only has a local area network and no internet. Therefore, if these researchers want to record the combat data fed back by 'CR-0', they have to stay close to it.
The so-called 'CR-0' stands for 'Conqueror-0', which means 'Conqueror. Test Subject'!
That's right.
This is the large robot that Ikoma saw earlier on the playground of the Academy of Academy of Sciences, equipped with Blue Light Heart that resembles a 'Nue'-shaped Kabaneri.
However, it would be more accurate to call them bio-engineered humans rather than robots.
Because its 'CR-0' is actually based on a human body, any mass production would be based on clones, with various modifications performed.
[Bang!]
On the other side, the Flash Beam from earlier seemed to be just a 'greeting gift' from him.
The instant the Flashy Flash was fired and exploded upon landing, the man's mouth was already agape as he leaped high into the air towards the fortress, prompting Imperial Army soldiers on the opposite side to immediately open fire on him.
[Da da da da da]
Because it was an automatic rifle, it Setsuna created a dense storm of metal in the air.
Pity.
So many bullets hit the CR-0 in mid-air, yet they simply bounced off without leaving even the slightest dent or hole.
"It's useless. CR-0's clothes are made of a new type of biomaterial synthesized from the special fibers of the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, mixed with the 'Heart Membrane' component from the Kabane. Ordinary swords, light firearms, and even Blast grenades cannot penetrate its defenses!"
Vinsmoke Judge looked at the 'first-person perspective' screen and sneered repeatedly.
It is actually the research result of Souei Wei from the Kabane World.
Now every soldier in the Main Battle Legion the Army wears a 'Kabane Battle Suit' made of this material (a black, extremely thin, close-fitting undergarment).
Certainly.
The armor on 'CR-0' is a reinforced and thickened version, so its defensive performance is much better.
[Beep------]
[BIU!]
At the same time, as the CR-0 leaped into the air was about to freefall, it opened its mouth again and fired Flash Beam at the trench below.
[Boom!]
The bowl-shaped fireballs reappeared on the ground, engulfing the lives of countless soldiers.
[Bang!]
As the Huoguang subsided, his massive, five-meter-tall body crashed back to the ground, sending scorched earth and lava tumbling up around him. The soldiers outside the crater's edge were terrified and retreated in fear.
But 'CR-0' showed no emotion, raising its arms and opening its large palms to the left and right.
[Beep------]
[Beep------]
In Setsuna, two familiar Golden Flash burst forth from his palms, filling the targeted Imperial soldiers with terror and despair.
[BIU! BIU!]
[Boom! Boom!]
"Aaaaaaah!"
"No!!!"
Fireballs, fireballs again! If you look down at the battlefield from above, they really do look like two ever-expanding, fiery red bowls appearing on the frozen ground.
"Stop it, you Titans bastard!"
Just then, a creature covered in thick black fur, over two meters tall, and looking like a humanoid black bear, pounced fiercely.
Behind him followed seven or eight strangely shaped figures, all warriors from the 'Beastman Unit' who had been the first to arrive to provide support.
At this point, CR-0 didn't have time to use Flash Beam, since he wasn't a true Flashy Flash Devil Fruit User and had a cooldown period after each attack.
Just as the 'Bearman' was about to pounce and bite, the 'CR-0's' massive body instantly turned into a blur and disappeared from the former's sight.
"What!"
[Pfft------]
The next second, a sharp black spike pierced through the 'Bearman's' chest, its blade stained with crimson blood. He looked down at it in disbelief.
Behind him, a long black spike had appeared in CR-0's left palm, while a black shield had appeared on his right palm, blocking the purple venom spat by a 'snake man'.
At the same time, a cold, eerie blue light shone in his eyes.
