The moment she signed, Qian Renxue felt like she'd sold her soul to the devil.
But when she stood in the "Top Secret Hangar" thirty floors beneath Umbrella Corporation and looked up at the white mecha—fifty meters tall, sleekly streamlined, with six enormous luminous wings on its back—she thought... That soul was worth every damn penny.
"This is... the Seraph?"
Qian Renxue's voice wavered. She reached out instinctively to touch the cold armor, only to be stopped by a red laser barrier.
"Don't touch things, Brother Xue." Qin Feng held a tablet, swiping through some information without looking up. "The nanocoating hasn't dried yet. If you damage it, you'll have to pay for it. As a friendly warning, the paint on this one section costs enough to buy half of Suotuo City."
Qian Renxue's hand froze in midair, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
"Can this thing... really move?"
"Move? It can take you into the sky." Qin Feng snapped his fingers. "Red Queen, give our 'angel investor' a demonstration of the startup sequence."
[Command confirmed. Driver biometric verification... passed. Neural link preheating... complete.]
As Red Queen's cold electronic voice sounded, the motionless mecha suddenly came "alive."
Its six dull metal wings spread open in an instant. The energy channels within them blazed with golden light, a special hue formed by mixing highly concentrated Soul Power with nuclear energy. Two V-shaped monitors on the mecha's head glowed with a deep blue light, as if a god had opened its eyes.
A terrifying wave of heat swept through the hangar, sending Qian Renxue's perfectly arranged golden hair flying wildly.
She felt it.
That wasn't Soul Power. It was... pure destructive force.
"To make it compatible with your Martial Soul, I added a little 'seasoning' to its core engine."
