Transcendent Dawn

A month had passed, unknowingly slipping away.

Su Lu’s life remained the same; going to school, and after class, visiting the second-hand market in search of suitable materials.

Ginny’s group saw the deference in him, so they didn’t try to intimidate him.

On the whole, everything was peaceful.

Until this night.

The logging yard.

“Finally… It’s completed.”

Su Lu stared at the suit of armor in front of him.

Mainly comprised of metal and brown leather, the exposed silver frame gleamed translucently. The hide used for the armor was from a wild beast, the Digger Beast, known for its toughness. After tanning, it provided improved comfort and protection. The surface and the inside were engraved with numerous magical patterns, all made from the most cost-effective materials Su Lu could find.

“Well, even though it lacks a support system, doesn’t completely protect the body, doesn’t have a neural link, lacks an energy source, and doesn’t have any installed weapons… It still qualifies as ‘Guyver’, rudimentary as it is. I guess I’ll name it ‘Bat’…”

Su Lu began to don it piece by piece.

From the helmet, goggles to the breastplate, arm guards, wrist guards, kneecaps, leg-jumpers…

By the end, he looked like an ancient warrior in full armor, but with a touch of modern sci-fi style.

The exposed metal framework held a certain aesthetic allure. Key positions were protected by leather. As he moved around, he left deep indentations in the dust-filled ground of the logging yard.

“Uh… it’s a bit heavy, but I can handle it.”

Su Lu tried walking a few steps before gradually breaking into a jog.

With each stride, the enormous pressure force transferred to the leg-jumpers, making his jumps higher each time.

Eventually, he took a deep breath and leaped into the air.

Whoosh!

As the wind whistled in his ears, he found himself dozens of meters off the ground.

Simultaneously, Su Lu spread his arms, extending a pair of leather wings from his ribs, gliding like a bat.

On his back, a row of unevenly sized metal barbs shot out, oscillating side to side, slicing the airflow. They acted as rudders, allowing him to steadily control his direction in the air.

“Good…”

After a few bounce take offs and high-altitude direction changes, Su Lu was pretty satisfied with his ‘Bat’ design.

At least it was the best option that his resources could allow.

“By utilizing gear that amplifies strength, I’m now on par with a second tier [Fighter]… and I can fly, something which even third or fourth tier professionals might not achieve… The armor also provides some defence; overall, I rose from normal human standards to those of an expert-level extraordinary person. Indeed, external aids are the most time and labor-saving…”

A regular person, with some training and donning a mecha-Guyver, could oppose the extraordinary. No wonder humans in this world managed to survive amidst a myriad of bloodthirsty creatures.

However, relying solely on external things and neglecting the evolution of one’s own life is probably the biggest downside of this path.

“On the Star Devourer Clan’s end, mechanical technology has fully integrated with biotechnology, enabling humans to be transformed into machines. This addresses the issue, but here, even the Kinsley Kingdom, with its most advanced biological technology, has barely mastered neural link technology. The path to consciousness transfer is still long…”

In the night sky, Su Lu descended.

The Purple Moon night of this world, when residents seldom go out, offered him the best opportunity to fully test and experiment with his Guyver.

Even if they heard unusual sounds, they would not dare to come out and investigate.

For Su Lu however, the so-called Purple Moon meant demons and chaos… in reality, it was derived from the fact that the Abyss-controlled world induced the genes of insanity and chaos in everyone, which were prone to mutation during the Purple Moon, leading to mental illness or epileptic frenzy.

But he had full control of his mental state, and as long as he didn’t go out during the Black Moon Night when the supernatural events occurred, he was good to go.

…

“Purple Moon Night, a night of bloodshed.”

Su Lu skimmed over the buildings, the cold light in his eyes solid as reality.

Since he promised to avenge Morphy, he would keep his word!

All his previous hibernation was just to build this Bat Guyver. Now that it was done, nothing held him back.

“After all… I’m just an ordinary student. How could I possibly have such power? As for the Mecha, anyone who knows Morphy’s family situation would understand that he doesn’t have a connection for it…”

“The pity is, I can only resolve one issue at a time. If something happens to both Ginny and Rand, it would draw too much suspicion, and even if it is unreasonable, it would still warrant an investigation…”

Su Lu landed in the affluent neighborhood to the east, at #88 Silver Avenue, the lavish villa inhabited by the Rand family.

The Kingdom of Kinsley revered metals, so many streets were named after them.

“The Rand family is one of the famous tycoons in Baixi, owning several mechanical factories. They must have private bodyguards or security personnel… but the thing is, I can fly!”

Su Lu dashed and leaped high into the air, circling around in the sky.

After observing for a while, he selected a landing spot.

Thump!

As his feet touched the ground, an unforeseen airflow from the opposite direction appeared, reducing the landing noise to a minimum.

Su Lu chose a deserted balcony of the villa as his landing point. He looked into the room and saw it was pitch dark. With a prompt slice of the glass, he maneuvered the door handle from outside and stepped in.

At this moment, with his goggles and helmet on, not even George would recognize him.

And relying on this Guyver, even if all the bodyguards joined forces, they might not beat him.

Therefore, Su Lu strode confidently, as if he were the master of the house. He gently opened the door of the guest room and walked down the corridor blanketed with crimson carpets.

Following the sound of voices, he arrived at the entrance to the study, pressing his palm against the door.

The once faint and blurred voices suddenly became clear.

“This month… the smuggling volume to the north… profit…”

As the words reached Su Lu’s ears, it took him a moment to comprehend, “So the Rand family is involved in smuggling? No wonder they’re so rich! Unfortunately, even though it’s a criminal offense, I’m without evidence, and I can’t bring them down, who knows, they might even have a protective umbrella…”

In the study, the bright gas lamp illuminated the surroundings.

Rand had a conversation with his father, Claude, a famous and wealthy businessman in the Baixi District.

Claude, of middle age, had a large beer belly, a balding scalp, and a face wrinkled with flesh. He was very difficult to deal with, and his handsome son, Rand, bore no resemblance to him, leading one to suspect whether they wore the same hat.

At present, the servants were ordered not to interrupt, and the soundproofing of the study was excellent, so father and son could discuss the family’s smuggling business with ease. Claude looked at Rand and said:

“Rand… no matter what means you’ve used, I’m pleased that you managed to graduate from Mechanical High School and obtain a recommendation letter from Silver City University. You are now fully part of the family business…”
