Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 2614  System Armor

The thing didn't have more than a few centimeters in size, making it hard to believe it was an armor. Of course, seeing all those experts' glowing eyes, Luan knew this was no joke. *Grab!*

Luan caught the small pyramid, and his arm almost dropped to the floor. It wasn't that it was heavy. With his cultivation, Luan could carry tens of times that weight without much effort. However, it was because he thought it to be slight item that took him by surprise. "This..."

Rean smiled. "It is indeed a little heavy, but for someone with your cultivation, it makes no difference. Besides, once it attaches to your body, the runes will take effect, and most of the weight will be negated."

Luan took a deep breath and nodded. "How do I activate this, Uncle Rean?"

"First, take a drop of your blood and put it on the little pyramid," Rean began to explain. "We used the technology from Earth and the Circuitry Runes to make a DNA bound equipment."

"DN...A?" Luan was a little confused. He knew about the technology and Earth since he heard about it from Rean, Roan, and Sister Orb. However, his knowledge was restricted to only a few useful parts. DNA had never been used in the word of cultivators, so Luan heard it for the first time.

Rean looked at a woman in the middle of his group. "Min Jee, that is your specialty."

Min Jee was a Korean geneticist from Earth, another one of the thousand experts of many fields Rean brought to the Realm of Gods. They were able to add a DNA bounding function to the equipment mostly due to her research since she arrived. "You heard about equipment bound by blood, haven't you?"

Luan quickly nodded. "There are quite a few I've seen myself."

Min Jee continued. "It's pretty much the sthing. However, the normal Blood Bound protection could still be undone if you refine the equipment with your own blood or Divine Sense. It will take time, depending on the level of the blood, but it can still be achieved."

Rean nodded. "The communication badges use this normal blood-bound method. It's just that I added another function that will have the programming inside self-destruct if another blood takes the place of the previous one. In the end, the badge becomes useless if someone succeeds in refining it. That's why I always say that a communication badge can only be used by its owner."

Min Jee then smiled. "However, this armor is different. You can think about DNA as a specific set of instructions that makes you who you are... excluding the soul, of course. In this Universe, there is no such thing as two equal pieces of DNA. Even twins aren't perfectly identical, Rean and Roan included."

"My worst nightmare would be to be identical to him," Roan added.

"What a coincidence, I am of the smind," Rean countered with a snort.

"Anyway," Min Jee completely ignored those two, already used to their antics like everyone else, "this DNA-bound equipment will only accept one DNA and will never work with any other blood. It matters not if someone steals it from you and tries to refine it with their blood or Divine Sense. That's not all. Combined with the owner's specific Divine Sense, it makes the perfect unbreakable bonding system. Refinement doesn't matter, cultivation doesn't matter, stealing and using your blood doesn't matter. Only in the presence of both your DNA and your Divine Sense will this item ever activate. It is forever yours."

Roan had to admit he was impressed. "Were you able to add such a function on top of its defense prowess and easier Divine origin Energy circulation?"

Rean quickly confirmed. "Yes! At the moment, maybe only Romamight have more advanced technology in his hands than us in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm."

Min Jee couldn't help but sigh. "Well... Experts from another Universe with extremely advanced technology are coming here. While I don't think anyone in this Universe would be able to use the armor, I can't tell for certain that other Universes don't have the ability to break its protection."

"That's not a problem," Luan held the little pyramid as if it were the greatest treasure in the Universe. "I will do my best to make sure I will never lose it."

Luan then took a drop of his blood and used it in conjunction with his Divine Sense on the pyramid.

*Bzzzz!*

Immediately, hundreds of tiny red and golden lines appeared all over it, all of them creating the shape of countless triangles. The Divine Sense and Blood were quickly absorbed by those lines and disappeared inside the little pyramid.

Suddenly, a robotic voice echoed in Luan's mind.

-New user identified. Please give this equipment a name.-

"W-What was that? Something spoke with me, but it wasn't through Divine Sense," Luan was taken aback. "It felt so weird..."

Rean quickly explained. "Don't worry, it will only talk to you twice. First, it asks for a name, and then it confirms the user's choice. I very much wanted to add a system like the communication badge inside it, but in the end, it was too much. Perhaps after we upgrade the equipment in the workshop and the repository, we might be able to add more functions to it."

Roan, on the other hand, was more interested in the npart. "At least you understand your naming sense is a piece of shit and left it for the user to choose."

Rean's mouth twitched. However, everyone around him nodded vigorously. Rean cup with a lot of bullshit names during its conception, and they rejected every single one of them. In the end, the idea of giving the user the chance to choose a ncup, and they added it.

Droman didn't forget to add. "This nwill also be how you can activate your armor. All you need is to send your Divine Sense inside with that name, and the armor will attach itself to your body."

Luan pondered a bit and thought about Roan. "Well, the simpler, the better. You shall be called System Armor."
