# Conqueror!
"Here, take some water."
"Don't rush, the water's hot, drink slowly."
Below the Fortress City in the ice and snow, a group of Imperial Army Soldiers wearing winter clothes were carrying steaming wooden barrels, slowly walking through the trenches.
Every time they passed a comrade, they would pour a cup of slightly hot water into the mess tins in their hands.
"Hoo—"
Those Soldiers, Original Copy still shaken in mind by the previous experiences, quickly recovered their mental state as the hot water flowed into their bellies, warming their bodies.
It must be said that Nahas's method of getting hot water for the Soldiers significantly boosted their morale.
Just as they were gradually relaxing their nerves.
A massive figure, standing five meters tall, walked out from the opposing Front Line and immediately drew the gaze of many surprised and uncertain eyes.
This was a man with long, grey-blue hair and a thick beard, wearing a black and white fur coat, with black ox horn ornaments on both sides of his temples.
His expression was cold as ice, devoid of any lively emotion, appearing extremely Cold and Ruthless.
This naturally aroused the vigilance of more and more Imperial Army Soldiers, and their Automatic Rifle were aimed at him one after another.
But he still advanced slowly and silently, causing the atmosphere on the field to become incredibly heavy again.
Strangely, the Officers and Soldiers of the Onigumo Division showed no intention of preparing for Combat, merely watching him walk alone towards the tens of thousands of the Large Army.
"Who is this Giant? Why do they have so many of the Giant Tribe on the other side?"
Nahas said with a deep frown.
He was now starting to worry if they would encounter an entire Troops composed entirely of these five or six-meter-tall Giants later on.
Just thinking about that scene sent shivers down his spine.
It was too terrifying!
[Beep——————]
Just then, a dazzling Golden Light suddenly appeared in the distance, causing Nahas and the other Officer on the Fortress wall to instinctively close their eyes.
Meanwhile, the Onigumo Division, located on both sides behind the tall figure, clearly saw a cross-shaped Golden Flash bloom from his open mouth.
"Isn't this..."
Onigumo's serious eyes immediately narrowed.
[BIU!]
The Flash turned into a Light Beam and crossed hundreds of meters of the Battlefield in the blink of an eye, landing among the Imperial Army's Front Line.
The next second.
With a Loud Noise, a fiery red inverted bowl shape surged up, engulfing everything within a fifty-meter radius in a Sea of Fire.
The nearby Soldiers were sent flying into the Air like rags by the Strength of the Shockwave, letting out Scream filled with extreme terror.
When the Gunfire Flash dissipated, the Ground, which had been Frozen Earth, was now a Scorched Earth Crater nearly two meters deep, with Magma flowing everywhere!
"As expected."
"So this 'Conqueror' is a Robot that possesses a portion of Admiral Kizaru's Light Ability?" Onigumo looked at Vinsmoke Judge, who was standing beside him.
"With 'CR-0', which I helped develop, it's naturally more than just that. You'll know if you keep watching."
Vinsmoke Judge monitored the various Data on the Computer screens operated by the three low-level Researcher, while also watching the 'First-person Viewpoint' Screen Feed.
This was because the World currently had no Internet, only a local area network. Therefore, these Researcher had to stay near 'CR-0' to record the real Combat Data it fed back.
The so-called 'CR-0' stood for 'Conqueror-0', which meant 'Conqueror: Test Subject'!
That's right.
This was the large Robot that Ikoma had seen on the Academy of Science's Training Ground before, the one equipped with a Kabaneri's Blue Light Heart in its Nue Form.
However, rather than calling it a Robot, Bio-Modified Human was a more appropriate term.
Because the Main Body of 'CR-0' was actually a Human Body. If mass production was needed, it would be based on Clone, undergoing various Modification Surgery.
[Bang!]
On the other side, that previous Light Beam seemed to be just a 'greeting gift'.
The moment the Light Emission was fired and exploded upon landing, the entire figure closed its mouth and leaped high towards the Direction of the Fortress, causing the opposing Imperial Army Soldiers to quickly open fire and Shooting at him.
[Dadadadada]
Because they were Automatic Rifle, a dense Storm of Metal instantly formed in the Air.
Unfortunately.
So many Bullet hitting 'CR-0' in the Air merely bounced off with a clanging sound, without even causing the slightest Dent or Hole.
"It's useless. The Clothing on 'CR-0' is made of a New Biological Material synthesized from the Special Fiber of the Demon Slayer Corps' Uniform, mixed with the Heart Membrane Component of the Kabaneri World. General Blades and Weapons, Light Firearms, and even Blasting Grenade cannot Break Defense!"
Vinsmoke Judge sneered as he watched the 'First-person Viewpoint' screen.
This was actually the Research result of Dr. Shouei from the Kabaneri World.
Now, every Soldiers of the Army's Main Battle Legion wore 'Kabane Combat Suit' made of this Material (extremely thin Close-fitting Underwear).
Of course.
The Clothing on 'CR-0' was an enhanced and thickened version, so its Defensive Performance was even more excellent.
[Beep——————]
[BIU!]
Meanwhile, 'CR-0', who had leaped into the Air, opened its mouth again and fired a Light Beam towards the trenches below just as it was about to Freefall.
[Roar!]
The inverted bowl-shaped Ball of Fire appeared on the Ground again, swallowing up the Life of large numbers of Soldiers.
[Bang!]
When the Gunfire Flash dissipated, his massive five-meter-tall Body heavily landed back on the Ground, shaking the surrounding scorched earth and Magma to jump violently, and also terrifying the Soldiers outside the Dent's Edge into retreating repeatedly.
But 'CR-0' showed no emotion. It raised its Arm, opened its wide Palm, and aimed at the Direction to the left and right.
[Beep——————]
[Beep——————]
In an instant, two familiar Golden Flash bloomed from its Palm, filling the faces of the targeted Imperial Soldiers with terror and Despair.
[BIU! BIU!]
[Roar! Roar!]
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"No!!!"
Ball of Fire, another Ball of Fire. If viewed from above, the Battlefield below truly looked like two constantly expanding fiery red inverted bowls appearing on the Frozen Earth.
"Stop it, you Giant Bastard!"
Just then, a fellow covered in thick black fur, over two meters tall, looking like a humanoid Black Bear, charged forward aggressively with a fierce Aura.
Behind him, followed seven or eight strangely shaped figures, who were the Warrior of the Beastman Squad that had rushed over first for Support.
At this moment, 'CR-0' no longer had Time to use the Light Beam. After all, he was not a true Glint-Glint Fruit Ability User; there was a certain Cooldown Time after each attack.
But just as the Black Bear Person was about to pounce and bite, 'CR-0''s massive Body instantly turned into an Afterimage, disappearing from the former's Line of Sight.
"What!"
[Puchi——————]
The next second, a Sharp Black Spike burst out from the Black Bear Person's chest, its Blade stained with scarlet Blood. He looked down at all this in disbelief.
Behind him, a long Black Spike had extended from 'CR-0''s left Palm at some point, while his right Palm held a black Shield, blocking the purple Poison Liquid sprayed by a Snake Person.
At the same Time, a cold Blue Eerie Glow bloomed in his eyes...
