Guyver Armor: KAP-2

Half a day later.

The base lights were so bright they were almost blinding, and Tsubasa Kamino, who had taken a short nap, woke up again.

The previous unit stripping and re-engineering had consumed a lot of Tsubasa Kamino's physical strength.

He got up, washed up, and went straight to Director Xiaotian Tong's office.

The office door was ajar. When Tsubasa Kamino entered, Kirito Oda quickly got up, made a cup of hot tea, and handed it to him.

Thanks.

Tsubasa Kamino took the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly spoke:

"Director Oda Kirito, I've come here today because there's something I'd like to discuss with you privately—about the virus that Kronos implanted in your bodies."

Odagiri Yoshio's body stiffened abruptly, and his fingers gripping the water glass tightened suddenly.

He was silent for a moment before slowly saying in a low voice, "You... you know everything?"

"Hmm." Tsubasa Kamino nodded, his tone grave. "After the rebellion five years ago, Kronos, in order to prevent the researchers from rebelling again, insanely implanted an unknown virus into all of you."

"This virus lies dormant in the body, and you must receive the vaccine they provide regularly, otherwise it will directly damage the brain nerves and cause you to die in extreme pain."

"Am I right, Director? And there's only one way to completely get rid of this virus—"

They volunteered to be transformed into beast-like soldiers, their enhanced physical abilities capable of neutralizing the virus. But the price was…

"The price is that we will become puppets who are absolutely obedient to the Beast God's Thought Wave, and we will have no freedom or dignity left."

Oda Kiri reluctantly took over the conversation, her voice filled with undisguised bitterness.

Over the years, he and his researchers have struggled to survive in such despair.

"We've tried countless methods to crack this virus, from tissue culture to serum neutralization, but all of them have failed..."

He raised his hand to rub his temples, his eyes filled with dejection.

"The only feasible path we have found so far is to create 'damaged species test subjects' and use the advantage of damaged species' natural resistance to thought waves to break free from the shackles of mind control."

"But..." Oda Kiri's voice suddenly dropped:

"The damaged test subjects are all accidental products resulting from failed preparation processes. The success rate of intentionally creating damaged subjects is extremely low..."

"So, you started this operation to launch the Relic Ship with the determination to die, right?" Kamino Tsubasa looked up at him calmly.

Oda Kirito was startled, and after a while, he finally nodded silently.

"But I found another way from the remnant ship!" Kamino Tsubasa's voice suddenly rang out.

"Really?" Director Oda Kirito looked up abruptly, a genuine hope appearing on his tired face for the first time. "What road?"

"Genetic inheritance," Kamino Tsubasa said, enunciating each word clearly.

"I obtained a large amount of core information about the deployment of beastmen from the biological database of the Relic Spaceship."

The beast-transformed soldiers' absolute obedience to the Beast God's thought wave was not innate—

Instead, it was a segment of genetic material that was forcibly implanted during the manufacturing process!

"What?!"

Oda Kiri slammed his hand on the table, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:

"This means... this implantation step is not necessary for the creation of the beast-like soldiers!"

"In that case..." He subconsciously stood up and paced excitedly back and forth in the office.

"As long as we compare the data with the data, reverse engineer the technical principles, and precisely eliminate the step of implanting the gene control, we can create—"

A beast-like soldier, independent of Chronos and possessing complete self-will?!

This is truly a ray of hope in a desperate situation!

He could almost see the future where the researchers would break free of their shackles and regain their freedom.

But not long after, Oda Kiri's pace slowed down again:

"However... to reverse engineer the cutting-edge technology left behind by these invaders, we need a lot of time and experimental data."

But the next vaccination period is less than a month away…

"Chief!" Tsubasa Kamino suddenly interrupted, "Where are the vaccines stored at the base?"

"It's stored in..."

Just as Director Xiaotian Tong was about to speak, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Ijuin rushed in, panting, "Murakami-sensei... he... he's awake!"

"What?!"

Tsubasa Kanno and Director Odaki exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their faces filled with disbelief and joy.

"Quick! Take us there!"

The three of them walked quickly through the base's corridor.

Inside the medical room where the incubation chamber was located, Masaki Murakami had already left the chamber and was lying on a hospital bed nearby.

He was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, his eyes half-open, his face still pale, but with a bit more color than before.

Seeing everyone enter, he slowly turned his head, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Murakami!" Tsubasa Kanno strode to the bedside. "How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

"I...I'm fine." Murakami shook his head slightly. "Mr. Kanno, your plan...was it a success?"

Tsubasa Kamino nodded emphatically, a look of excitement flashing across his face:

"Our plan to explore the Relic Spaceship has been successfully completed, and tomorrow at this time will be the day the Relic Spaceship is launched. Mr. Murakami, it's so good that you've woken up."

As a prototype of the Beast God General, Murakami Masaki's thought waves and combat power are extremely valuable to everyone at present.

Murakami's awakening at the crucial moment before the remnant spaceship's launch undoubtedly provided everyone with the strongest possible safety net.

"That's great... everyone..." Murakami murmured to himself and remained silent for a while.

He then took a deep breath, turned his gaze to Director Oda Kiri beside him, and said in a serious tone, "Director, please tell me clearly, can my body still withstand the Beast God Transformation?"

"You still want the Beast God Transformation?"

Oda Kirito couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "This is too reckless! Your body is already severely damaged. We've been busy these past few days... and we've only barely managed to stabilize your condition..."

"Murakami..."

Murakami Masaki raised his hand to stop them from speaking. He propped himself up on the hospital bed, slowly sat up, his eyes unusually firm:

"Faced with a terrifying force like Kronos, weren't we all acting with the resolve to die? Director, I need to know the answer, please tell me!"

"Alright..." Director Oda Kiri looked at his resolute eyes and finally gave in defeat.

A look of sadness crossed his face: "You were too reckless before, forcibly overdrawing your mental energy to activate the thought wave, and the damage to your body is irreversible."

Even if you stop using any of the Beast God Generals' power, your body can only last for two more years at most.

If one insists on using the Beast God Transformation, an ability that places an immense strain on the body...

There's only one chance! And..."
