He said .
And then Fudora produced a sphere, which he then set into Kristoph’s chest .
“Your Majesty . It is true that the Machinery Four, your greatest works, have wonderful capabilities . The Auto-Healing ability allows them to regenerate, and then there is the incredible durability brought by the special alloy . They can use space expansion and are equipped with high-output nuclear reactors . Their power is several times stronger than our other weapons . But more than anything, they individually have the Ether Ring Barrier, which is the heart of the city’s defense . It is no wonder they are considered to be the strongest… However, that is a thing of the past . The Bionoids that I have created have the flexibility of living beings . See, as evidence…”
As Fudora talked with a look of ecstasy, the fallen Kristoph began to rise from the floor .
It left only the important organs, the rest were absorbed and broken down and then rebuilt .
It still looked like Kristoph, but the insides were completely different .
However, the memories and skills, everything about Kristoph had been replicated completely…
No…
The aging face of Kristoph had regained the features of his youth .
The biological cells and memory cells that do not age were able to read Kristoph’s genetic information and recreate it . It was not his current age, but a younger face that was full of the power of his best days .
It would seem that such appearances had little meaning for a cyborg, but that was not the case .
Degradation of the brain, ability to make decisions, recognition and reaction speeds would occur .
Such weaknesses were now gone, and Kristoph had been reborn as the strongest Bionoid .
But he no longer had a heart . His will was to obey Fudora .
“…Greetings, father . I am Kristoph, your shield and your sword . I await your orders . ”
And like that, the most terrifying Bionoid was born .
Emperor Almsbine was too shocked to speak .
His most trusted friend had died in front of his eyes .
And on top of that, he had been reborn as the most dangerous of enemies .
It was no wonder that he was at a loss .
“No-no…and Alvin!?”
The Emperor finally realized that Alvin had not betrayed him, but had been remade in secret .
It was obvious, considering he had regenerated a head that had been destroyed .
“Yes, that is very perceptive of you . He refused to help me, so I had no choice . ”
“Bastard!!”
“Hahaha . Didn’t I tell you? This is all because you continued to hide the Mobius System . That would solve all our energy problems . With that power, we wouldn’t have to wait for the results of these sluggish experiments . We can purify this world!”
“I told you . That…”
“Silence! I have no intention of following your slow plans!!”
“Exactly . Brother, I agree with what Fudora is saying . I do not want to be the emperor of such a wretched world . I want to rule a planet that is beautiful . And so our aims matched, and I agreed to help . You can die in peace and leave the rest to me . ”
Amit surrendered to his evil desires and stared at the Emperor .
Kristop and Alvin–the two Bionoids watched on in silence .
Fudora watched this with the conviction that his ambitions were halfway to completion .
The time had come .
One part of the plan that had been carried out in secret had now been achieved .
These four had been modified by the Emperor himself . They were the finest works from the mind of a genius .
As the old Emperor could not replicate them, they could be called a ‘lost art . ’
And so it had been necessary for Fudora to develop technology that could go against them .
And he had done it .
Human experiments had been carried out in secret and data was collected .
And finally, Fudora succeeded in his lifeform modification experiments .
He implemented it on himself one month ago .
Things moved quickly after that .
Amit had secretly agreed to help him . They lured Alvin and then killed him .
And then he was reborn as their greatest pawn, a Bionoid .
And now…
Their biggest obstacle, Kristoph, was in their hands . Michelle was the last person in their way .
As for the clown who only had his position because he was the Emperor’s younger brother, he could be dealt with at any time .
“Haaahahahahaha!! Brother, this is goodbye!! Leave the rest to—!?”
Kristoph’s fist slammed into the fool’s head, destroying it in a flash .
Fudora nodded with satisfaction before preying on the body .
And by doing that, he himself was recreated into the strongest being .
—The special lost arts of the Emperor were now combined with the fruits of his research .
And with that, the old body of Prime Minister Fudora also transformed into a youth with black hair .
“Fudora…you…”
The Emperor muttered in shock . Fudora looked at him with a surprisingly gentle expression .
“Your Majesty, no, Senior Al . You really weren’t fit to be emperor . I will do the rest for you . But I just need to take your knowledge…”
And with that, Fudora granted Emperor Almsbine eternal rest .
That was the end of a man who had ruled an empire for one hundred years .
“…Now . It seems that Michelle really has hidden the Mobius System . I am glad that the plan succeeded, but it’s annoying that we have more work to do . Still…”
Then Fudora looked at Jegyll .
“We have bait . I can use this thing to get her without any difficulty . ”
He said with an evil laugh .
“N-No! Stop…!!”
And then—Jegyll’s consciousness was swallowed by shadows .
Her wish was in vain . She would also be reborn as a Bionoid .
Become a pawn for Fudora, stripped of free will . .
And like that, his plans went to their final phase .
—Five days had passed since Veldora and the others arrived in this world .
The sounds of something sizzling as it cooked echoed .
That should be enough to predict who it was .
Veldora .
Veldora was cooking again . This time there was meat on his grill .
“Hey—you!! You! What is wrong with you!?”
And the person who was shouting was also easy to guess .
Zaza .
He had been with the rear guard, but the moment they stopped to set up camp, he had been met with a sight that caused him to scream in abandon .
“Kaahahaha! You’re late, Zaza . We’ve already started, you know? But don’t worry . I saved some for you!”
