Chapter Index

    ‘Maria, are you a genius?’

    -Is it right to use the word genius for artificial intelligence?

    Even though she said that, Maria’s voice had a hint of pride in it.

    ‘No, I came up with a method that I couldn’t even think of and tried it on my own!’

    I couldn’t be more trustworthy as I thought about not only doing what I was told to do, but also applying it myself.

    There was definitely something very different about the artificial intelligence that had awakened to its own identity.

    And the moment I saw the effect of the artifact, that thought became stronger.

    I went into the room alone and conducted the test on half-dead villains.

    “Ugh… ”

    The guys were just moaning as if they were half out of their minds, probably because Maria had tormented them so thoroughly.

    ‘Let’s take a look.’

    As I put the gauntlet on my hand and concentrated on activating my supernatural powers, I felt a strange sensation. It felt like it was stimulating me to punch.

    For the test, I didn’t resist the feeling and threw my fist into the air in the direction of Kang Da-kyung, one of the villains.

    Then, a translucent gauntlet of the same shape as the one I was wearing appeared in the air and struck Kang Da-kyung’s head in front.

    Poop!

    ‘oh.’

    The guy’s head just flew off. It was a vain end for the boss of a villain organization that tried to devour Korea and Japan.

    I was amazed on the inside.

    ‘What is this? Rocket Fist? Baekbo Priesthood? ‘Has it become an artifact with such a function?’

    With that in mind, I pumped my fist in the air a few times and was able to roughly understand the function of the gauntlet.

    I was able to create a translucent gauntlet at a distance and attack in a similar way to using superpowers. The gauntlet was not limited to just attacking, but could also perform delicate tasks such as picking up or moving objects if you concentrated your mind.

    And the number of gauntlets that could be made at once was not limited to one.

    Slurp~

    Dozens of gauntlets appeared in the empty air. There was no limit to the number of gauntlets that could be made. You can pour out as much quantity as your mental power allows.

    Jikkeun-

    ‘The number of gauntlets I can make now is about 50.’

    50 fist-sized gauntlets. It may sound like a small number, but if you throw this at one person, the target will probably feel as if a wall made of gauntlets is attacking them.

    ‘This is a number that can only be achieved when focusing entirely on the gauntlet, so it may decrease further when using high-speed thinking or during battle.’

    I summoned about ten translucent gauntlets in the air and had them play rock-paper-scissors. It wasn’t easy. As the quantity increased, it became difficult to carry out detailed work.

    Maria said to me.

    -The gauntlet is an artifact created by combining Kang Da-kyung’s telekinesis and Apostle’s self-immolation technique.

    ‘So this function was created.’

    I felt like I could use this well to throw a rush with my fist like in a cartoon.

    A duplicate fist appears in the air and throws endless punches.

    ‘If I had this, I would be able to get rid of all the little things at once without using this ability, right? It can also be used as a long-distance attack.’

    The only means of long-distance attack I had were spouting flames with my special ability, using a gun, and even shooting lightning when I used the tower’s status window.

    Although they all boast tremendous power, they boasted quite loud visuals and sounds whenever they were used.

    However, using this artifact seemed like it would be possible to deal with more enemies more quietly.

    As a test, I threw a punch at the wall, and I guess it was because of my strength and mental power that it destroyed the wall cleanly, so the power was usable.

    I put the gauntlets into my inventory with a smile on my face. And I picked up an item that I had been curious about from the moment I first saw it. It was an artifact that looked like an unidentified piece of cloth.

    At first glance, it looks like ordinary black cloth. However, if you look closely, you can see that it is completely different from ordinary cloth. The fibers that make up the fabric are not visible at all.

    It was the same even when I checked it by touching it with my fingertips. A single piece of smooth, thin metal existed in a state as light as fabric.

    The suit I wore was also reinforced with Starlight, but considering that it was basically clothing and had threads and seams, it seemed to have very unusual properties.

    ‘Is this the Heaven’s Uimubong (天衣無縫)?’

    -The meaning is a little different, but… You could compare it that way.

    ‘So what artifact is this?’

    -It’s a cape with all the Trickster’s superpowers and various villains’ superpowers sewn into it.

    ‘entire?’

    There were a total of five villains I caught, excluding the executives. The number of those suppressed on the first floor was not that large since they were captured by heroes belonging to the Japanese nation and were not touched.

    Still, five people, no, if you add the Trickster, a total of six people were caught in this black cloth.

    ‘Are you okay? Wouldn’t it have been better to pay more attention to things like ability combinations?’

    -The combination is okay because I took care of it in other artifacts. The Trickster’s superpower is nothing special, except for the ability to copy. We also needed to find out the effects of putting a lot of superpowers into one artifact.

    ‘If that’s the case with Maria, then that’s probably the case.’

    I felt like it was a waste of time to study specialized content, so I was pricked by my conscience to leave it to Maria and just do something else.

    Without saying a word, I held on to the artifact and concentrated my mind.

    Then the artifact that looked like a light cloth moved quickly and was fixed on my shoulder.

    Whirling ㅡ

    ‘This… Is it a cloak?’

    -It’s a cloak.

    From the first time I saw it, I thought it looked like a blanket or a cloak, and it seems my prediction was correct.

    I turned my back and looked at the artifact hanging behind my back. The change in the black cloak did not end with simply being worn automatically.

    The cape followed the red accent lines on my suit, like a chameleon. Thanks to this, it matched well as if it had been a suit and set from the beginning.

    -But I don’t know what function it has.

    ‘well. ‘If it’s a cloak, I can roughly guess it.’

    At the same time as I spoke to Maria, I grabbed the hem of my cloak and blew out flames.

    Grumble!

    There was no reaction from the cloak. Even if the firepower was slightly increased and the entire body spewed fire, the same was true.

    Maria said in a slightly disappointed voice.

    – Doesn’t it burn? If that’s all it takes, it’s a bit of a waste of the superpower that went into it…

    ‘You say you’ve used up all your remaining superpowers? That may not be everything.’

    Above all, the more flames were spewed out, the more a tingling sensation came from the cloak, just like when using a gauntlet.

    This time too, I didn’t bother resisting the sensation.

    Then, the cloak, which seemed fine, turned red and spewed out a huge amount of heat.

    Kwaaaa!!

    The flames that spewed out into the open air through the collapsed wall had almost the same power as the supernatural ability I had just used on the cloak.

    The cloak, which once emitted flames, hung quietly on its back, looking the same as before, as if something had happened.

    ‘I think it’s a function of absorbing and releasing attacks.’

    -It looks like it works well with supernatural powers, not superpowers.

    ‘Because that was the nature of starlight, which is the material.’

    While I was at it, I left the room and called Bae Yeon-hee.

    “Bae Yeonhee.”

    “Are you done with your work?”

    Bae Yeon-hee and Seo Na-young, who were waiting for me to come out, approached me.

    I said, holding on to the hem of the cloak and handing it to her.

    “Hold this and freeze it.”

    “Suddenly what… I don’t know what it is, but it looks like it was made new. Is it okay for it to break?”

    “It’s okay, it won’t break. Try as hard as you can with the idea of ​​freezing the whole thing. I won’t get hurt, so don’t worry.”

    “… I’ll do as I’m told for now, but it’s not my responsibility if something breaks.”

    Damn it…

    A chill that made skin grow on my forearms and my hair stand on end was felt in my cloak.

    However, the cloak, which should have already frozen hard and shattered a long time ago, still maintained its soft texture.

    Bae Yeon-hee also looked embarrassed at that fact.

    “What is this… ? Why isn’t it freezing?”

    “Isn’t it because you’re too weak? Try using a little more strength.”

    “… I don’t know.”

    In the end, Bae Yeon-hee, who fell for my provocation, did her best to shed the cold.

    After watching the cloak absorb the cold for a while, I felt that the cloak’s movement became a little stiff. Intuitively, I felt that this was the limit of the attacks the cloak could accommodate.

    ‘It’s not bad. I can block even a fairly strong attack at least once.’

    “Stop. That’s enough.”

    “… I made something strange. Is this an artifact?”

    Bae Yeon-hee also knew that her superpowers were not completely blocked and she let go.

    “That’s right. I came up with something quite useful.”

    Come on~

    “What is that key? I think it looks similar to the one Kang Da-kyung had?”

    Seo Na-young asked, wrapping her arms around my neck and clinging to my back. When he realized that I was younger than him, he held my head and rolled around for a while, but now he seemed to have decided to just take it easy.

    “That’s right. I did some modifications there.”

    “Renovation? Has some function changed?”

    “Maybe. I don’t know exactly either. You have to use it to find out.”

    As Kim spoke, I decided to check it out here. It didn’t matter because the key didn’t seem to have any particularly dangerous functions.

    ‘Have you used it like this?’

    Clap~

    The key was stuck in the air and turned.
