Chapter 344
“I don’t know what you mean by ‘new weapon . ’ But it was I who killed the three dogs . ”
“I see . Bingo . We’ve been quite lucky . And what is your name?”
“–Beretta . ”
“Hoho . Odd name . As you are no famous terrorist, are you a newcomer? Well, that doesn’t matter . I just want you to answer me one question—”
“–What?”
“It’s nothing, really . We used the Bunker Blaster with the intent of destroying this underground shelter… So why isn’t it destroyed? What little trick did you use? I am just curious . ”
“Hmm . The answer is simple . Lord Veldora over there, he protected us…”
Beretta said honestly .
However, this only made Karman laugh .
According to the energy calculations, Veldora was nothing remarkable . The data said so .
And so he did not believe Beretta’s answer .
“I see . So you won’t tell me then . Well, fine . By the way…”
Smoke rose from his cigar .
It was just as the smoke was directed towards Beretta’s vision, that Karman moved .

He was fast .
The Powered Suits represented the height of their technology . In spite of its hefty appearance, they could go from standing still to moving at 1,000m/s in just ten seconds .
However, this action was not about attacking .
To Karman, it was merely a casual walk . A kind of greeting in order to witness Beretta’s reaction .
Karman’s hand was placed on Beretta’s shoulder .
The movement was so fast that a shockwave hit Beretta, but otherwise, he stood still as if nothing had happened .
It had been less than a light breeze to him .
“Oh? So that is not enough to phase you then . I am impressed . It will make destroying you all the more interesting . But first, I must listen to this order from Colonel Gratham . You should just surrender and tell us your secrets . Then you may be able to live in the city . I will give you ten seconds, so think about your answer!”
Karman said as he blew smoke into Beretta’s face .
He wanted to fight him, but he had to follow orders . And so he made this offer .
“Karman, was it? Do not give me orders . ”
While his mask hid any expression, Beretta’s voice was oozing with irritation .
Inwardly, Karman was enjoying Beretta’s reaction .

He tightened his grip on Beretta’s shoulder and continued .
“Well, if you insist on defending these scum, you must be an enemy to me . ”
And then he smiled viciously and tried to crush Beretta’s shoulder by applying more pressure…
But Beretta just lightly brushed his hand away .
The hand of a Powered Suit that was applying intense pressure . And with just one hand .
Karman lost his balance and fell back towards his troops .
His shoulders shook with fury and shame over this unbelievable reality . And then he let out a great roar .
“Kukuku-kahahahahaha!! Yes . This is very amusing . It’s been a while since I faced an enemy that was worth fighting, however…”
Karman paused here and inhaled from his cigar .
All the anger then dispersed and he regained his calm .
He continued .
“I will tell you about reality before we fight . It seems that you have an internal high-power reactor exceeding 100,000kWh . It’s your best feature, isn’t it? Indeed, it is rather impressive for something created outside of the city laboratories, but not quite good enough . The nuclear fusion reactors inside of our Powered Suits can output as much as 817,000kWh . Do you see? Do you despair at this difference? Do you see that there are five of us? You never had a chance against us . So I will say this one last time . Surrender to us!”
He said as if repressing his natural tendencies . He would obey the order from headquarters . Karman was like a problem child, but he was not an outlaw .

However, he was difficult to control once he started fighting .
This came from his intense hatred of the resistance and had nothing to do with his original personality .
And so it was not possible for him to stop himself .
“Surrender? I have no intention of obeying someone who is weaker than me . But more than anything, I already have a master . I do not like what you are saying . ”
“Hah! Then be ready . You will soon know reality and regret this!!”
“Hmph . Don’t worry, I will not kill you . ”
The cigar had now burned away .
That was the signal .
“Ridiculous! I know what you are capable of . I hope you won’t break on me?”
Karman shouted after laughing confidently .
There was no reason for Karman to doubt that he could defeat this enemy in front of them .
And yet…
“Hmm . Perhaps you will put up more of a fight than I thought . Maybe I will have to take this thing seriously . ’
Was Beretta’s reply .
At this, Karman’s emotions exploded .
The suppression drug’s effects had ended .
Karman’s ability to reason was now gone . And the only thing to do was to unleash his anger .
The Powered Suit was a part of him and moved according to his will .
The heat and pressure that was usually sealed by the electromagnetic force field now lit up the nuclear fusion reactor . The resulting plasma stream rushed through his body like blood .
It was directly converted to electricity through the generator, giving Karman frightening strength .
The strength to go wild .
While he was human, he would become like the sun .
Exceed what he was as a cyborg and transform into a weapon .
At the same time, Karman’s subordinates finished preparing .
Like Karman, they embodied the sun and released their great power .
While they were a team, individually, they would have been able to fight a whole division of soldiers from one generation ago .
