"Maken and the others watched the D-class personnel, including D-33414, vaporized by the intense heat. They felt no pity whatsoever. The only emotion remaining was probably gratitude."
After all, it was thanks to the contributions of those four "beasts" that they had obtained a great deal of useful information.
For example, when humans were only three hundred meters from the entrance to the Garden of Eden, the Cherub stationed at the gate would only then launch a direct attack.

Back then, the Titan race that ruled the Greek world—especially the God-King Cronus—had died horribly at the hands of Sparta A-003, Mylon.

"We've already viewed the live footage through your Individual Cameras. We're preparing for the next experiment."
"Understood."
After receiving the next order, Maken turned toward Mammoth
