Guyver Armor: KAP-2

Kamino Tsubasa slowly opened his palm, took a deep breath, and then clenched his fist with great force.

"Hiss—" A sharp sonic boom suddenly rang out as the air was forcibly compressed and exploded instantly, forming a small gust of air that caused the surrounding grass blades to sway slightly.

The armor on his fist bulged slightly as he exerted force, and the dark purple biological tissue tightened, conveying a surging sense of power, as if a single, gentle punch could easily shatter hard rock.

Kanna Tsubasa felt the power surging within him, a power far exceeding his imagination. A warm and powerful sensation spread through his limbs and bones, dispelling all the unease and fear he had felt since his transmigration.

After a brief moment of excitement, Tsubasa Kamino's rationality quickly returned. He knew that this was not the best time to indulge in power.

The helmets and goggles worn by the Chronos Beast Soldiers also serve as real-time monitors, connected to the command center at the Japanese base.

At this moment, the highest-ranking officer of the base—the Japanese branch chief, Genzo Makishima—must already know of the failure of the recovery force and will certainly send more Chronos beastmen to the scene to search.

Staying where he was was too dangerous; he had to leave as soon as possible and find a safe place to familiarize himself with more of the bio-armor's capabilities. And…

Tsubasa Kamino paused, then slowly raised his hand, his fingertips precisely touching the circular metal device on his forehead.

This is the core of the control device of the Qiangren Armor—the control metal. It should have been a smooth, seamless, and cool-to-the-touch metal sphere, but under his touch, he could clearly feel a thin crack on the lower right edge.

As you gently run your fingertip along the crack, you can feel a subtle unevenness, which is the damage caused by the shock wave from the explosion when you were in "Unit G" form.

Tsubasa Kamino's expression turned serious. He understood the importance of this circular metal device better than anyone else—it was the core technology behind the "Descendants'" creation of the bio-armor.

This unassuming metal sphere, like a sophisticated central hub, governs the originally uncontrollable and highly corrosive cells of the proliferating organisms, suppresses their excessive cellular vitality, limits their growth tendency, and ultimately transforms them into an indestructible biological armor.

Furthermore, the entire control system centered around this device is connected to the brain of the implanted user, recording data such as the user's genes, memories, and even thought patterns at any time, much like a biological computer.

This grants the wearer incredible regenerative abilities. Even if they are shattered to pieces, as long as the control metal remains intact, they can use the recorded data as a basis to rebuild their entire body with the help of the proliferation ability of the hybrid organism!

In the original story, due to the existence of this rift, the control device of the KAP-2 was no longer stable and controllable.

During prolonged and intense battles, the bio-engineered armor may experience a brief period of bio-instance loss of control, affecting the fluidity of the user's movements and potentially causing sluggishness at crucial moments, thus exposing significant weaknesses.

What worries him even more is the deadly danger posed by this crack—if the area is hit again by a force of the KEP-1, the control device will pop out and be completely destroyed.

At that time, the proliferating cells, freed from their core constraints, will instantly break free of their shackles and launch a full-scale attack on the host.

The excessive life force that originally constituted the armor system will become the most terrifying devourer, mercilessly devouring the wearer's body and consciousness, ultimately turning into an indescribable mass of bio-engineered flesh.

The tragic fate of Lishik, the wearer of the Cap 2 suit, involuntarily surfaced in Jinno Tsubasa's mind. A chill crept up his spine; that could never be his end.

"It seems we must be more cautious in considering the upcoming battles, not only dealing with Kronos's pursuers, but also constantly guarding against the risks posed by this rift."

Tsubasa Kamino muttered to himself, "The most urgent task is to find a safe hiding place, figure out the performance limits of this armor, and at the same time, try to explore the 'ruins' of Mount Mina to confirm whether this crack can be repaired."

He mobilized the power within his body, and the armor of the KAP-2 responded instantly.

He leaped several meters into the air, easily clearing the low slope in front of him. He landed silently, the armor's gravity control system perfectly offsetting the impact of the landing.

Using this power, he darted swiftly through the mountains and forests, his movements as agile as a ghost. His dark yellow figure flashed through the trees, leaving only a faint sound in the wind.

A moment later, Tsubasa Kamino arrived at the planned hidden natural cave. After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him using the superhuman senses of the KEP-2, he stopped and thought: "Disengage the armor!"

In an instant, the once-complete dark yellow armor began to change. Starting from the chest, the armor plates disintegrated and split apart, slowly floating and reforming in the air. They moved along a specific trajectory, gradually combining to form a complete humanoid armor outline, hovering in front of Kamino Tsubasa.

Immediately afterwards, a series of subtle ripples appeared in the air, like ripples spreading on the surface of water after a pebble has been thrown in. The suspended armor slowly merged into the ripples and eventually disappeared completely.

As the armor was removed, Tsubasa Kanno felt the power within his body quickly recede. He moved his body around for a bit, and instead of feeling the fatigue from the tension, he felt refreshed and rejuvenated.

The fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days due to planning and training seemed to have been washed away by the transformative power of the fusion with the Qiangbo Armor.

Kanna Tsubasa gazed in the direction where the armor had disappeared. He knew that after the bio-armor was deactivated, it would automatically enter its own separate storage space.

That space was like a hangar tailor-made for the colonists, where the armor would stand silently, connected to the colonist's consciousness through a fleshy, tumor-like transmitter that grew from the shoulder blades on the back of the colonist.

With a mere thought, the armor would instantly appear from the alternate dimension, assembling and transforming into a bio-armor. This convenient storage and transformation method made the bio-armor's transformation exceptionally flexible, capable of protecting the host's safety in any scenario or sudden danger.

"It's not time to rest yet." He raised his hand to wipe the rain and mud off his face, leaned against the cold rock wall, and quickly began to disassemble his equipment.

He deftly removed his helmet, mask, and combat suit, revealing the clothes underneath.

In a corner of the cave, he had already prepared spare everyday clothes—a simple cotton shirt and casual pants, along with a pair of lightweight sneakers.

He quickly changed into his new clothes, and then threw all his equipment, including the helmet, mask, and combat suit he had taken off, along with his night vision goggles, high-powered flashlight, and other gear, into a sulfuric acid barrel that had been placed deep inside the cave.

"Sizzle—sizzle—" A violent corrosive sound rang out instantly, and thick white smoke rose from the sulfuric acid barrel, carrying a pungent odor.

His clothing and metal equipment dissolved and deformed rapidly under the influence of sulfuric acid, and all traces that could prove his identity and whereabouts were completely destroyed in the strong acid.
