"My God! It actually took such a perfect form, such a complete vicious cycle, such marvelous retro technology..."
While William marveled at the other party's completeness, he secretly transmitted a message to Yi Chen.
'Mr. Yi, can we kill it? How long would it take? What are our odds of success?'
However, Yi Chen's reply was, 'We can't kill it.'

'Hehe, I was only testing Mr. Yi's eyesight... Don't worry. Just watch me perform.'
William took the initiative and stepped forward. He placed his right hand against his chest and gave an elegant gentleman's bow.
"What an honor~ to meet your true form.
No wonder your signature can also use external cameramen as substitutes. They were part of you to begin with. All those selected and transformed into cameramen become your 'lenses.'
It's truly beautiful.
Please forgive our intrusion. I personally wanted so badly to meet your true body that I resorted to this little scheme~ Besides, I helped you find a vulnerability in the infiltration, didn't I?"

Click~ click~ click
As some kind of gears began to turn,
the cables connected to the giant's back started retracting. The hundreds of thousands of "cameramen" hanging from the domed ceiling all converged toward its back.
Their bodies changed shape during the process. Using their spines as insertion pegs, they fitted perfectly
