As Hane's Rule Power spread, Boros and the subordinates he had brought with him were reduced to dust, drifting into the depths of the starry cosmos.
With a casual wave of Hane's hand, everyone vanished from the area.
Inside the Imperial Research Institute.
Child Emperor was arguing with Vegapunk about something.
With the Hero Association fully joining, Child Emperor had naturally agreed to Hane's request and entered the Empire's research center.
Only after arriving did he understand just how vast the Empire's accumulated body of knowledge was. Nearly everything he had studied before could be found here in the form of examples.
Naturally, Child Emperor was ecstatic. He constantly enriched himself within this open ocean of knowledge.
However, because their knowledge systems came from different worlds, he and Vegapunk had also developed a disagreement: the modification plan for the Empire's next-generation mechs.
His idea was to discard mysterious powers as much as possible and develop the next generation of mechs through pure science. Such mechs would undoubtedly be able to adapt to a wide range of environments.
Vegapunk, however, wanted to combine the mysterious powers of several worlds and create more well-rounded mechs.
But there was one drawback: if they entered a world with a different environment, the mechs might become unusable.
Only after the Empire had completely transformed that world could the new mechs unleash their true power.
The two had argued over this for who knew how many days. As for Orochimaru, he had no desire to participate at all. His specialty was biological science, and he simply could not get a word in when it came to machinery.
Yet just as the two faced off against each other, Hane suddenly appeared inside the research institute.
In an instant, every researcher in the institute rose to their feet.
