"Boss, is this the new katana you forged for me? Why does it look different from my previous katana?"

After giving Loren a beating, 2B finally turned all her attention to her upgrade.

At that moment, she held the brand-new katana Loren had forged for her, her eyes full of delight.

"This actually isn't a katana. The proper name for it is a Miao Saber." Loren shook his head and explained.

"A Miao Saber?"

"Yes. The Miao Saber was a weapon from Dragon Country's age of cold weapons.

It was a new type of weapon created by combining the Dragon Country Tang Sword and spear to counter the katana.

The Miao Saber had a slender blade and came in two sizes: one of five chi (160 centimeters) and one of three chi seven cun (120 centimeters).

Yours is the longer version—160 centimeters.

The Miao Saber combines the traits of both blade and spear. It can be used as a spear or a sword, held one-handed by the grip or wielded two-handed by the hilt.

Using both hands makes it easier to exert force, so its killing power is greater." Loren explained with great seriousness.

As a transmigrator, Loren's soul was still that of a Dragon Country native.

So when forging weapons, he naturally gave priority to Dragon Country style.

"I see. This Miao Saber is so beautiful. I love it. Thank you for the gift, Boss."

2B looked the Miao Saber over from top to bottom, growing more satisfied the longer she looked at it. Then she planted a kiss on Loren's cheek.

"This Miao Saber was forged from Adamantium, so it can cut through iron like mud and is indestructible.

Even temperatures of five hundred thousand degrees can't melt it. It can only be forged through special methods.

And in this universe, I'm probably the only one who knows that technique."

"So, aside from you, Boss, no one can damage this Miao Saber?"

"You could say that, but it's not absolute. There are too many ridiculously powerful beings in this universe.

So you still need to remain properly cautious. Don't get arrogant, understand?"

"Understood. I'll make good use of this divine weapon."

2B nodded, then casually swung the Miao Saber at the steel workbench in front of her.

In an instant, the workbench split cleanly in two as if it were tofu.

"!!!!"

"It's way too sharp!"

"Of course. 'Cutting through iron like mud' isn't just empty talk.

With this blade, on this planet, aside from Adamantium itself,

there's basically nothing you can't cut through in one strike. And if there is, then make two cuts."

Loren spoke with great confidence. Adamantium's reputation was no joke.

In terms of hardness, even Vibranium had to yield before it.

So Loren wasn't talking nonsense when he said it could cut through most substances on this planet. There was evidence to support it.

"Doesn't that mean no one can block an attack from this Miao Saber?!" 2B was utterly stunned by Loren's words.

"In theory, yes. But as I just said, Adamantium is an exception.

And we aren't the only ones in this world with Adamantium. The military has some too.

Although the formula for Adamantium has been lost in this universe, some stock left behind by predecessors still exists.

Still, in such a vast world, the odds of encountering someone else equipped with Adamantium are very low.

Unless Mutants exist in this world. Then there really is one monster who wouldn't fear your Miao Saber." Loren muttered.

"What are Mutants? And what kind of monster wouldn't fear even my Adamantium Miao Saber?"

2B's eyes brimmed with curiosity after hearing Loren's words.

"Mutants are a long story. If we really traced their origins, we couldn't finish in a day and a night, so let's not get into it.

Anyway, that group hasn't appeared in this world so far. They probably don't exist.

As for the monster I mentioned, he's a member of the Mutants and one of those bonded with Adamantium.

He can grow Adamantium claws from between his fingers. Their destructive power is astonishing, and he also possesses an absurdly powerful healing ability.

So ordinary weapons can't kill him. Only weapons forged from Carbonadium, one of the four great metals, can counter him.

But don't worry about it. Mutants don't even exist in this world, so that monster is even less likely to appear."

Loren shrugged and spoke dismissively. The monster he was referring to was naturally Wolverine.

In fact, shortly after arriving in this world, he had specifically conducted an in-depth investigation of it.

Through that investigation, he discovered that the world he was in differed from every Marvel Parallel Universe he knew.

It was like a brand-new, independent Marvel Parallel Universe.

In this universe, Mutants didn't exist, making it somewhat similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So characters like Deadpool and Wolverine naturally didn't exist either.

But it was only somewhat similar to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not exactly the same.

Therefore, there were many events that even he, a transmigrator, couldn't foresee in advance.

That was precisely why he had told 2B to be careful.

After all, no Marvel Parallel Universe was ever simple.

"Boss, now that you've said all that, I actually really want to see what that monster looks like." 2B said with interest.

Loren fell into thought at her words, then said meaningfully, "Perhaps there'll be a chance in the future."

"Really? That's great."

"Great? Heh heh, perhaps!"

Seeing Mutants in a universe where Mutants weren't supposed to exist meant only one thing: the multiverse had crossed over.

If that day truly came, the entire multiverse would descend into chaos. That would be no good thing.

But there was no need for him to tell 2B about something like that now, so he couldn't be bothered to explain.

As he spoke, he walked over to his newly upgraded Third-Generation Bat Armor.

Yes, his Bat Armor had already reached the third generation.

The first-generation Bat Armor had been limited by its outdated energy system, so it could only fly short distances.

Later, he acquired improved Arc Reactor technology, so he upgraded its power system based on the first generation.

That gave the Bat Armor the ability to fly long distances, and its flying speed could easily exceed Mach 4, approaching the level of hypersonic aircraft.

Not only that, he had modularized the Bat Armor and embedded miniature anti-gravity devices into every module.

That way, he could put on his Bat Armor anytime and anywhere, like a Saint Seiya transformation.

And now, he had upgraded it again.
