Cyclops was the name Ian had given his first Aether Armor.
By Ian's personal aesthetic standards, he preferred names like "General-Purpose Mobile Armor—Sniper-Specialized Prototype No. 0," whose meaning was clear and classification sensible. But it was far too long and cumbersome to say, so he went with the flow and gave it a nickname, like every other pilot in Terra.
By dismantling and modifying several Aether Armors supplied by Firestone Group, Ian had pieced, patched, and stitched together all kinds of technologies from his collection, forcefully assembling a prototype armor that matched his vision.
The multi-agent supply case modified from firefighting armor components could mix potions under ultra-high pressure, creating an astonishingly destructive "liquid light"—the so-called Light-Element Potion.
Once exposed to normal atmospheric pressure, this potion immediately sublimated, transforming into a solar gas that radiated extreme heat and blinding light.
This was the "Light-Element Purification Potion" Sister Reflected Light had given Ian in the Subspace Labyrinth. Ian had not used this glory bomb commonly carried by holy servants. Instead, he had broken it down and replicated it in the laboratory, roughly restoring a simplified formula before turning it into specialized prism weapon ammunition.
The weapon module named the Prometheus Prism was, in truth, a laser-charging technology used by the Earth Federation in Ian's previous life.
It could gather energy from solar umbrella zones around Mercury's orbit and supply space cities in other orbits through ultra-high-energy lasers. It was precisely the technology of stealing heavenly fire and granting it to humanity.
In other words, this thing was not particularly destructive within a planet's atmosphere. Its true practical domain was outer space.
But for now, it was more than enough.
Using Light-Element Potion to charge the light prism, then firing a high-energy beam to destroy the enemy—this was a genuine charged beam
