"All physical indicators are returning to normal, the Geiger counter is stable, there is no sign of continued expansion of the flesh and blood, and the driver is conscious..."

There was a tail-eating snake carved on the white robe, and countless people were walking back and forth around the black angel.

Lorenzo had no time to enjoy the joy of success. After realizing that Lorenzo could control the Black Angel, the scientific researchers hiding in the bunker came out, holding various detector-like devices, and poked Lorenzo with them, while recording various data.

"You are a miracle, Lorenzo."

The mechanical arm slowly descended, Merlin grabbed the protrusion on the side, and appeared above the black angel.

"All the previous test drivers died, and were directly devoured and decomposed by flesh and blood. It's as if this armor has its own consciousness, killing those people and using them as nutrients... Maybe it's because you also have the flesh and blood of the Holy Grail in your body, so it may regard you as one of its own."

"Being recognized as one of the same kind by a demon is not a good thing."

A deep voice sounded from behind the plate armor. Lorenzo did not like the current situation.

"The pressure is normal. It seems that the intensity of the erosion has not increased due to its awakening. Or, I am of the same kind as it and have a certain resistance." Lorenzo followed Merlin's thoughts to explain his current feelings. "I feel a little itchy... I can't hold those operating levers and other things. I remember that some functions of the original sin armor rely on them, right?"

Lorenzo did not have much experience in driving the Original Sin Armor. He remembered some of the operating methods when he read the weapon master's operating manual.

The Armor of Original Sin is essentially a demon fused with machines, and human will must replace its brain to control this evil body.

This is a huge and heavy armor, whose main power comes from the steam engine and the power of the demon's flesh and blood. After entering, the driver will be connected to the demon's nerves by the inserted nerve electrodes, connecting the power of the two lives, so as to control the demon with human consciousness.

Therefore, driving armor is an extremely risky job. During the process of contact, the consciousness is exposed to the monsters without reservation. Ordinary people will be eroded after a short time. Only specialized knights have a certain ability to persist.

Therefore, controlling the armor is not a technical job. When your consciousness connects with the demon part, the armor will become an extension of your body. You can control it just like you control yourself. However, there is still one part that consciousness cannot solve, which is the machinery used to restrain flesh and blood.

The technology of the perpetual motion pump has not yet reached the point where it can directly control the machinery, so the mechanical structure on the Original Sin Armor needs to be equipped with some tiny operating levers and buttons to fill the already extremely small cockpit. Generally, for the sake of ease of operation, they are basically concentrated on the hands.

"To ensure safety, those features are temporarily offline."

Merlin said to Lorenzo.

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Original Sin Armor, we installed a lot of external weapons for it, such as armor muskets, grappling hooks, etc. However, during the experiment, all these weapon parts were removed, and those buttons and operating levers are temporarily useless... But please be careful not to press them randomly, some of them are related to the steam engine."
