Guyver Armor: KAP-2

Heart-wrenching screams echoed through the mountain passage, and Richard Geor's body convulsed violently.

In extreme pain, the huge red Beast God Crystal in the center of his forehead was forcibly uprooted by Akafiel!

The moment the crystal detached, blood gushed out, the light in Geo's eyes instantly went out, and his body gradually stiffened.

With a casual toss, Akafil's body plummeted like a rag doll into the churning crimson lava below, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Having done all this, Akafiel, clutching the still-warm red Beast God Crystal, soared into the sky and returned to the surface.

Meanwhile, the active volcano Mount Mena, which had been dormant for hundreds of millions of years along with ancient ruins, finally erupted completely due to the influence of multiple factors!

The fiery red lava, carrying billowing black smoke and massive rocks, shot straight into the sky, instantly enveloping the world in crimson and pitch black. The scorching heat waves swept over us, even distorting the air itself.

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, as towering, fiery red lava, carrying billowing black smoke and massive rocks, shot straight into the sky like a fire dragon.

Crimson lava rained down from the sky, thick black smoke obscured half the sky, and the scorching heatwaves distorted the very air.

Akafiel hovered in mid-air, clutching the Beast God Crystal he had reclaimed. The golden light around him slowly receded, and the Beast God's body gradually faded and shrank back, returning to its human form.

He landed naked without a care in the world, his golden vertical pupils slowly sweeping over the silent beast generals below, his body radiating a suffocating pressure.

None of the beast gods present dared to meet his golden eyes. They all knelt heavily on one knee, bowed their heads deeply, and straightened their backs, showing their submission to the supreme ruler of Kronos with the utmost respect.

"Hamil Bakas, Shin Rubeo Yamnicas."

He looked down at the two men: "You two prepare immediately. Ten days from now, we will officially launch 'Operation X Day.' Don't let me down this time!"

"Yes, sir! I will obey your orders!"

Bakas and Shinn were the first to respond in deep voices, and the other Beast Gods followed suit in unison.

Afterwards, Akafiel was the first to leave, and everyone else got up and scattered to the core stronghold of Kronos to begin the final preparations for this ultimate plan.

The eruption of Mount Mena continues, with thick smoke carrying volcanic ash slowly settling down, shrouding the entire mountain range in a thin, dark gray mist.

Deep within the mountain, in a natural cave untouched by lava, a dark figure slowly walks forward, its forehead emitting a faint glow.

He was dragging a mangled body in his hands, with a hideous hole in the forehead. It was Richart Geo, whose Beast God Crystal had been stolen!

The body, which should have been swallowed by the lava, was somehow forcibly dragged out of it, its surface still covered with uncongealed lava scorch marks, and its breath so weak it was almost gone.

But the black figure dragged along without the slightest hesitation, the rough rocky ground scraping against Geo's mangled body, leaving a long, dark red trail of blood.

"Hmph, Geo! We meet again. You really do get more pathetic each time..."

……

In the living quarters of the remnant spaceship.

The gray-brown inner walls of the chamber gleamed with a warm, soft light, and the life circulation device in the corner produced fresh air, maintaining a perfectly balanced microgravity environment inside the cabin.

Dr. Shirai was gently removed from the oval-shaped life support chamber and placed softly on the bio-floor.

His eyelashes trembled, and after a long while, he slowly opened his heavy eyelids, his cloudy gaze sweeping across the cabin, filled with confusion.

"Where...where am I?"

He propped himself up on his arms, trying to sit up, and looked up to see the dark blue silhouette of the KEP-2.

"What? Kapp... Kapp!"

Dr. Shirai's pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively shrank back.

"Don't panic, Dr. Shirai, I'm not your enemy!"

To show his sincerity, Tsubasa Kamino had a thought, and the bio-armor around him began to shrink and dissipate like a tide, revealing his gentle face.

"Nice to meet you. I am Tsubasa Kamino, the captain and pilot of this relic spaceship."

He uttered the shocking truth in a calm tone.

"A remnant spaceship? Captain? Pilot?"

Dr. Shirai was stunned for a moment, then keenly noticed the abnormality in his body. His limbs felt light and airy, and even raising his hands was much easier than usual.

He suddenly realized what was happening, his voice rising abruptly: "This is... weightlessness? We're...we're in space?!"

This barrage of bombshell information caused even a seasoned and knowledgeable top biologist like Shirai to experience a mental overload.

After a long while, he shook his head vigorously before finally managing to accept the fact that he had been taken all the way from Earth to deep space.

Seeing this, Tsubasa Kanno stated his purpose directly, turning his gaze to Director Odakiri standing to the side:

"Dr. Shirai, I know you are an authority on biomodulation and gene research, so I have specially invited you to join Dr. Odaki's genetic reverse engineering research project."

"Dr. Shirai, it's been a long time."

Director Xiaotian Tong stepped forward with a slightly embarrassed smile. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he explained the core objective of the project: to decipher the genetic code of the invaders.

Dr. Shirai's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened, his initial confusion and wariness completely disappearing, replaced by the fervent gleam unique to a researcher.

"Oh...interesting! A beast-transformed soldier that can completely break free from the control of the Beast God General?"

He unconsciously rubbed his hands together, his tone becoming increasingly agitated:

"The physical and ability boosts, and even lifespan extensions brought about by beastification, wouldn't that become the true evolutionary path for new humans?"

This is far more valuable than Kronos's flawed forced modulation!

He turned sharply to Kanna Tsubasa, leaning forward eagerly:

"Hey kid, your name is...Kano, right? Quickly bring out the detailed data on the Descendant's creation; I need to start studying it now!"

Dr. Shirai immediately unleashed a fervent desire for research: "Hey, um... your name is Kanno, right? Quickly bring out the data on the creation of this Descendant, I need to study it carefully!"

Tsubasa Kamino pointed to his temple and smiled helplessly:

"All the data is currently stored in the database of the Relic Spaceship, which is linked to my consciousness. I need to spend time transcribing it into readable document data one by one."

"What are you waiting for? Go transcribe it!"
