As if it was some kind of evil sacrifice, the pitch-black evil egg was hung high up by iron chains and machinery. Countless lights shone on it, showing every detail of the steel feathers to everyone as much as possible.
Lorenzo looked up at the stone sculpture-like existence. Under his focused gaze, Lorenzo could feel its vitality. As time passed, the steel feathers rose and fell slightly, as if breathing.
"After recovering the Black Angel, we conducted a lot of inspections on it. All indicators were normal, and we could not find the reason why it went out of control."
Merlin also looked at the dark egg with even greater awe in his heart.
"It's... alive. It's breathing."
Lorenzo stepped on those unknown red balls and approached the black angel little by little.
"Yes, the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail has not only merged with you, but also with this forbidden armor of original sin. Steel and flesh..."
The scarlet muscles extended and grew under the pitch-black steel feathers, connecting every mechanical structure. They were wrapped around and protected the core steam engine and the demon heart that had been processed by the perpetual motion pump.
This is the Armor of Original Sin, a combination of demons and machines. The perpetual motion pump has removed their brains, leaving only the heart to drive the flesh and blood. To be precise, this is a walking corpse, which needs human will to drive it. But when the sky fire fell, it lost control. Without the drive of the will, this walking corpse began to move.
"It can be said that this may be the most terrifying original sin armor we have ever created. After possessing the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail, its strength far exceeds that of other original sin armors. However, the cost is also very high. The corrosion it endures when driving it is far beyond our imagination."
Merlin said slowly.
"We have conducted several tests. As soon as the driver activated the Black Angel, the Geiger index reached its peak. The driver only remained awake for a few tens of seconds before falling into a crazy hallucination. Then, within a few minutes, he was corroded and demonized..."
Dragging a living person into the demon's abyss in just a few minutes was stronger than any other erosion the Purification Agency had ever encountered in history. It was almost fatal in an instant, and there was no time to even resist.
"What's next? Is it out of control?"
Lorenzo also knew a lot about the Armors of Original Sin. They were somewhat similar to the Demon Hunters and would cause terrible damage after getting out of control. With this level of erosion, the Perpetual Motion Pump must have paid a huge price to control it.
“No… That’s what’s so weird about it.”
Merlin shook his head, his empty eyes fixed on the dark object illuminated by the light. As an alchemist, Merlin had seen many strange things in his life, but never one that made him feel so difficult. His whole body was filled with unexplorable unknowns.
"You know what? When I was young and first came into contact with a demon, my world was shattered and I was filled with fear from this abomination. But after years of contact, I have become accustomed to this monster that devours reason," said Merlin.
"It's like living with a tiger all the time. After a while, you will think it's just a big ferocious cat." Lorenzo replied, and he often described monsters in this way.
