“Oh dear.”
Its trajectory was aimed directly at Su-ho.
It wasn’t by chance.
When the host being parasitized becomes in danger, the parasite instinctively tries to move to the nearest available host.
That was why Su-ho naturally dodged its charge.
But no matter how much it tried to turn its gears, nothing entered its mouth, and without its host, the thing quickly lost all power, stopping its rotations.
“It’s stopped.”
Its movements had completely ceased.
It wasn’t pretending to stop and preparing for a sneak attack.
The Mega Crusher, even though it was a cursed item, was still not a monster.
However, instead of recovering the Mega Crusher, Su-ho immediately went to Kang Seul-gi.
He began casting Heal.
[Heal has been activated.]
Fortunately, Kang Seul-gi was still unconscious.
It must have been quite painful, but thankfully, he seemed to have passed out quickly.
Su-ho didn’t hesitate to pour healing energy into him and began checking his condition.
“His abdomen is fine.”
The area that needed the most attention was his lower abdomen.
The Mega Crusher had been embedded there for a long time, so Su-ho had no idea what kind of changes might have occurred.
Luckily, the gap left by the Mega Crusher didn’t seem too large. There was no missing flesh, either.
Su-ho used Heal intensively to restore the area, making it completely recover, as if nothing had ever happened.
As Su-ho healed him, Kang Seul-gi’s expression gradually became more peaceful, as though he was feeling more comfortable.
“Done.”
Once Su-ho had healed him enough that he wouldn’t need more healing, he unlocked the handcuffs and moved Kang Seul-gi to the bed nearby.
Only then did he finally turn his attention back to the Mega Crusher, still lying alone, and checked its information.
[Mega Crusher]
Capable of grinding anything.
Su-ho couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief after reading the information.
A simple description.
It was absurd.
Even though it clearly had curse options attached to it, the item had tried to disguise itself as an ordinary one, pretending to be normal after it detached from its host.
And its grade was B.
Despite being capable of evolving, it was pretending to be B grade—this was a typical feature of the Technology Series.
“I’ll make good use of you.”
Like poison when used as medicine, the Mega Crusher could have different applications depending on how it was used.
Though it was a cursed item, it still had many hidden advantages.
That’s why the Mega Crusher should only be owned by someone powerful enough to control it.
After securing the Mega Crusher, Su-ho entrusted Kang Seul-gi to the external staff and returned home.
“Heewon.”
“Yes, Team Leader.”
“The materials are all gathered.”
“Really? But why now...?”
She had just escaped from the hellish world of synthesis.
She had planned to rest properly today after rushing down the stairs.
But Su-ho smiled gently, and in the end, Nam Heewon had no choice but to prepare for the final task.
“Let’s just finish this and then rest. I’ll buy you whatever you want.”
“Okay...”
Nam Heewon answered weakly.
Still, the preparations were completed quickly.
In fact, there was hardly any preparation needed.
Unlike the Slime Stone work that required time and effort, making partner items only involved combining the prepared materials.
The two of them went upstairs and placed the gathered materials on the table.
After Su-ho double-checked the items, he nodded, and Nam Heewon lifted her special goggles and asked,
“Shall we begin?”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
With the goggles on, Nam Heewon began the synthesis.
The goggles were necessary because of the intense light phenomenon that occurred every time the synthesis characteristics activated.
It wasn’t needed for just a few times, but since the Slime Stone work had been ongoing recently, the goggles had become essential.
Then, the synthesis began.
[Synthesis begins.]
[The item to be used for synthesis is Meta Slime Stone.]
[The item to be used for synthesis is Freed Spirit Stone.]
[The item to be used for synthesis is Third-Person Pilot Perspective Device.]
The items were selected, and notifications appeared in front of her eyes as the system double-checked the choices.
Nam Heewon confirmed it, and the synthesis began.
[Synthesis begins.]
The process started, and the light began to shine, causing the selected items to glow as well.
“This is always fascinating to watch.”
Su-ho had worked with Nam Heewon in his past life too, asking for her help with synthesis a few times.
After all, Su-ho was humanity’s strongest dealer, and she was one of humanity's best blacksmiths.
That’s why Su-ho’s trust in her was unshakable.
So, he had entrusted the Slime Stone work to her as well.
As the synthesis reached its peak, the light reached its zenith.
Flash!
The light burst forth like a camera flash.
And the items that had been placed on the table disappeared.
Instead, a small, unfamiliar object was now in Nam Heewon’s hand.
It was a tiny orb, about the size of a walnut, but it was exceptionally clear and dazzling, like a jewel.
Nam Heewon took off her goggles and smiled.
“I think it’s a success.”
“Really?”
“Yes, would you like to take a look?”
Nam Heewon handed over the orb, and Su-ho took it and checked its information.
[Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha]
Advanced technology from another world.
Fusion technology.
A pilot suit usable only by a possessor.
The Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha has a 150% influence on the pilot’s status window.
The Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha allows possession.
The Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha allows pilot control.
The Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha can undergo appearance transformation according to the pilot’s will.
The Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha can regenerate as long as the pilot has sufficient mana.
The information about the item flooded in front of Su-ho’s eyes.
He couldn’t help but laugh.
Nam Heewon had done it right.
“The materials were good, so the name’s also... no, it’s changed a lot.”
The Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha wasn’t its original name.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Once, the most popular partner item among possessors had been called the “Soul Suit,” which was merely a substitute avatar to replace a person’s physical body.
But as the late-stage cataclysm unfolded, many Soul Suits for possessors appeared, and in the process, the Third-Person Pilot Perspective Suit was introduced.
That had been the core item that enabled the existence of the previous Kim Geon.
“Adding the Meta Slime Stone was thanks to the advice from the previous Kim Geon.”
Every field had what people called the "final item."
It was also known as the ultimate item, graduation item, and so on—typically discussed in fields where equipment played a major role. For possessors, the Soul Suit was always a key topic.
The Meta Slime Stone was recommended as a material in those discussions.
That’s why the item created, the Mystical Meta Suit for Soul Mecha, was now called the strongest Soul Suit of all.
“In the later stages of the cataclysm.”
This was a final item based on the later stages of the cataclysm.
Su-ho, after checking the item information, smiled with satisfaction, and Nam Heewon, who had been holding back her smile, expressed her excitement.
“Isn’t that really good?”
“Really good.”
“I thought so. This time, it even came with 10 bonus stats.”
“Really?”
“Yes, this is the second time after the Meta Slime Stone.”
It wasn’t just that they made an S-grade item.
The item they created was an incredibly high-spec final item, and along with that, it carried absurd modifiers like ‘Ancient Mystical Technology’, ‘Advanced Technology from Another World’, and ‘Fusion Technology’.
“An item like this can only be made by Heewon.”
There were officially three types of the Technology Series:
The three mentioned earlier were classified independently, but the fusion technology could only be created by someone like Nam Heewon, who was at a unique singularity.
“That’s why you got 10 bonus stats again this time.”
Su-ho genuinely congratulated her.
“Well done. You know, 10 bonus stats are worth the equivalent of 10 levels, right?”
“Of course, I know. Thanks to this synthesis, I’ve gained the equivalent of more than 20 levels.”
“Then I’ll be counting on you from now on.”
“Of course! Understood! Loyalty!”
“Alright, go ahead and rest now.”
“Wow!”
Nam Heewon was genuinely happy at the order to rest.
She really felt like she had earned her freedom now.
There wasn’t anything else Su-ho needed from her for the time being.
At that moment.
Just in time, Kang Seul-gi had woken up.
The timing was perfect.
Su-ho finished preparing and headed back downstairs.
There, Kang Seul-gi was waiting with a warm cup of tea in hand.
“You’re awake?”
At the sight of Su-ho, Kang Seul-gi jumped up from his seat.
Then, he quickly approached Su-ho and bowed deeply, folding at a 90-degree angle.
“Thank you, Su-ho. Thank you so much. I will never forget this kindness.”
Kang Seul-gi kept bowing deeply, showing his gratitude with his whole body.
It was sincere.
Kang Seul-gi had gone through difficult times.
And Su-ho had ended the hellish life he had been living.
Even though it wasn’t an unconditional favor but a conditional removal, it still meant a lot to Kang Seul-gi.
Su-ho smiled and patted him gently.
“It’s nothing. I helped you in exchange for a reward.”
“No, no. Even if you were rewarded, don’t doctors get thanked by their patients? Su-ho, you are the savior of my life. And not only did you help me first, but you also approached me and offered assistance. I will never forget this favor.”
“Haha, then, while I’m at the association, I’ll be counting on you.”
“Of course! If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know. Even if it’s something like the three-pronged item, I’ll be happy to help anytime.”
Kang Seul-gi’s eyes sparkled.
It wasn’t just words fueled by emotion; it was sincere from the bottom of his heart.
That’s why Su-ho couldn’t help but smile.
He could feel the sincerity in his voice.
And, having found someone in the Resource Division who could be cultivated and removed Pi Seong-yeol’s influence, Su-ho felt optimistic.
“I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
It was a satisfying end to the day.
