After seeing off Shockwave, whose head was full of extreme weapons programs, Rimuru finally felt at ease. He stopped dwelling on those wildly risky ultimate weapon proposals.
The most pressing task now was to put the upgrade plan they had already settled on into action. First, he would fulfill his promise and give Jazz, who had been waiting so long, a complete overhaul.
Rimuru and Doctor Q went straight into Black Dragon's virtual space. Its simulated forging, body reconstruction, and energy compatibility systems were top-of-the-line, making it perfect for testing a new body. It was safe, and no one would discover them.
Jazz's upgrade was a complete transformation. They abandoned his traditional Cybertronian metal body and rebuilt him from head to toe using a T-5000 ultimate nanotech base.
T-5000 material was the pinnacle of nanotech bodies in the Terminator series, far surpassing the liquid metal of the T-1000. Its strength, toughness, self-healing, and malleability were all maxed out.
The moment the upgrade began, tiny silver nanobots enveloped Jazz's entire body like a rising tide.
They gradually dissolved his original metal shell and aging power components. From his head, torso, and limbs to the circuitry in his joints, everything was completely dismantled and rebuilt.
The whole process was painless and sensationless, apart from the faint feeling of cool energy flowing through him. Jazz stayed quietly on the upgrade platform, clearly able to sense his body being replaced piece by piece.
When the reconstruction was complete, Jazz emerged completely transformed.
His new silver-and-black nanotech body was light and compact, with none of the clunky bulk of excess machinery. His once somewhat rigid mechanical joints had become incredibly smooth and agile.
The most obvious change was that his mobility and explosive power had doubled!
Jazz had always excelled at agility, nimble movement, and
