The Gigant prepared for the experiment was of the Milles class.

However, it was not completely the same as the Milles class and seemed to have undergone several modifications to settle the new core.

‘I put a lot of effort into stabilizing the core. There are many techniques that I have never seen before.’

Instead of activating the core right away, Abel looked around.

It’s because it’s directly related to your own safety.

Apart from believing Deborah’s words, it was an instinctive act.

‘The core is… … It’s a dueling technique.’

Abel’s gaze turned to the core.

The purple cores looked like one on the outside, but they were actually different.

After connecting the two cores, a purple film was placed over them.

‘This membrane has the role of stabilizing by increasing the binding force. The output itself will drop a little, but that can’t be helped.’

The dueling technology that connects two cores does not simply exert the power of two cores.

Through the resonance of the two cores, it was possible to generate three or four times the power.

However, as the output increases, the stability decreases, so in general, the output is limited to an appropriate level.

First of all, the front core seemed to connect two cores commonly used in the Tito class.

‘At this level, I’ll be able to exert more than 1.5 times the power of a Milles-class core.’

It was an inference made using the settings from the game and the knowledge gained here, but I didn’t think it would be very wrong.

What’s more important in this skill is how stable it is than the dueling itself.

In fact, it’s difficult, so the second-generation core hasn’t been developed yet.

“Whoa.”

Abel took a short breath and relaxed.

Analysis is the job of the researchers, and what he needs to do is to check if this core is working normally.

First of all, we have already heard what the problem is with the previous experiment results.

‘Everything that failed was due to a problem in the process of resonating with the core.’

Several possibilities immediately came to mind.

However, I couldn’t tell exactly what was the problem unless I checked it myself.

Abel immediately made up his mind and raised both hands and placed them on the core.

‘It’s cool.’

I felt a cold touch through my palms.

Abel raised mana from the depths of his body and slowly pushed it into his core.

Mana passed through the core and spread throughout the gigant.

The important thing is this:

Resonance is completed when Abel’s mana passes through the core and Gigant and returns to his body.

It wasn’t too difficult to spread the mana to gigantic.

The difficult thing is to accept the amplified mana through the core.

Woo-woo-!

The core slowly emitted light and vibrated finely.

Abel felt the surge of mana like a raging wave.

It retraced the way it had spread, stayed in the core for a while, and then rushed into Hook Abel’s body.

“Big.”

Abel groaned involuntarily at the intense sense of alienation that pierced his body.

However, he gritted his teeth and continued to melt the magic into his body, eventually succeeding in accepting it.

Woo-woo-.

It was easy after that when I pushed the accepted mana back into the core.

Once the road was formed, the magical energy stably connected Gigant and Abel, as if it had never caused a problem.

“Whoa.”

Abel took another short breath and opened his eyes.

The process just wasn’t too easy, but it’s next that most riders fail.

In the process of trying to move Gigant after completing the basic work of resonance, he could not overcome the stronger sense of heterogeneity.

Abel watched that and slowly tried to move Gigant.

But then.

‘This… … .’

The mana that I thought I had melted into my body was shaking wildly.

Where is that?

The sense of having to strongly connect oneself with Gigant was also unstable.

It feels like sitting in the belly of a huge enemy rather than a reliable ally.

Abel instinctively noticed the problem.

‘The fusion of the core wasn’t perfect.’

Dueling technology connects two cores to draw strong output.

However, if the core is not properly selected in the process, a big problem arises.

like now.

‘The magic is trying to move independently.’

Suppose a carriage is being pulled by two horses.

If both horses are running in the same direction, there is no problem.

However, the moment they start running in different directions, the wagon can endanger the passengers beyond running properly.

The situation was exactly like him.

‘Should I go out like this?’

I figured out the cause, but it didn’t matter.

If it has been developed to this extent, it should be possible to produce proper results within this year just by insinuating that fact.

But then the dream of getting a second-generation core ahead of schedule will be far away.

Abel, who had been contemplating stabilizing his fluctuating mana, gripped the core tightly as if he had made up his mind soon.

Woo woo woo woo!

There are two ways to deal with runaway mana.

Did you exert a strong control and forcibly hold on to the magical power?

Or, by drastically increasing the synchronicity with Gigant, forcibly causing the mana to run in one direction.

It’s easy to say, but it was never worth trying either way.

Just looking at the fact that all the outstanding riders that Deborah recruited earlier failed.

But Abel did not give up.

‘The important thing is imagination.’

Beyond manipulating Gigant, he imagined himself becoming one.

The magical stems that spread throughout Gigant’s body are his blood vessels, and what flows along them is blood.

You feel the metal muscles and bones and further control them.

“Gee, Gigant is shaking!”

“What does that mean?”

“It’s usually a symptom of an extremely high level of entrainment.”

The technician who was observing it from the outside had a conversation with Deborah.

Abel could hear the conversation vividly, as if it were happening right next to him.

It wasn’t that strange.

If Gigant and himself became one, that sense would surely be under his control.

Ugh!

In the meantime, the magic power continued to resist fiercely.

It was only natural that he was forcibly dragging the mana he didn’t follow to go this way.

But Abel didn’t budge, and rather raised the tune.

and at some point

cooong!

Abel put his arms on the ground and stood up.

I gave strength to my trembling legs and straightened my back. My field of vision suddenly increased, and I could see the entire laboratory at a glance.

“ha.”

Abel let out a hot breath.

He felt ecstasy at the mighty power running through his body.

A sense of omnipotence that was incomparable to when he had driven other Gigants before then surrounded Abel.

‘This is the second generation core.’

It was more than expected.

Even though the output would have been significantly limited, it seemed to have twice the output of the existing Milles.

Abel enjoyed the feeling for a while, then looked down.

Silence came to the noisy laboratory.

Technicians and researchers, as well as Deborah, were looking at Gigant with surprised eyes.

“oh my god.”

After a while, someone came to his senses and burst out in low exclamation.

“Hey, woke up.”

“Are you successful?”

“Sure! I caused a gigant!”

Once the silence was broken, everyone poured out one word at a time as if the water had been opened.

In that state, Abel lightly performed a Gigant inspection motion and laid the Gigant back in its original position.

Eventually, the cockpit opened and Abel, wet with sweat, walked out.

“Four, the ladder!”

“Come quickly and help me!”

Then the staff hurriedly came and helped Abel.

It was a cautious attitude that was incomparable to before riding Gigant.

“Excellent. It exceeds expectations.”

Then Deborah came over and said to Abel, her eyes twinkling.

Her eyes were shining brighter than before.

excitement. Pleasure. satisfaction. and possessiveness.

Abel grinned as he watched Deborah’s eyes swirl with mixed emotions.

“It exceeded my expectations too.”

“Could you continue to cooperate with the experiment in the future? The reward will be calculated for each experiment so that there is no shortage.”

“Is it really necessary?”

“yes?”

Abel said to Deborah, who paused at his answer.

“At this point in time, it will be hard to find anyone who handles that core other than me.”

“that… … .”

“So let’s sign an exclusive contract. By including that core in the reward.”

“What exactly do you want?”

“I want to port that core to my Gigant and use it.”

It wasn’t something I said spontaneously out of excitement.

In the first place, if the core was judged to be usable, I thought that I had to get it somehow.

Of course, I didn’t think Deborah would say no.

What she needs right now is not that unfinished core, but enough experimental data.

“great.”

Sure enough, Deborah nodded without thinking for a long time, then held out a hand and said,

“Then, shall we adjust the detailed terms of the contract?”

“yes.”

Abel took her hand.

* * *

Immediately after the experiment, it seemed like they would sign a contract right away, but the actual contract was signed three days later.

Abel also needed time to review the contract.

After reviewing for three days, we finally reached an agreement with satisfactory conditions.

After completing the contract, Deborah opened her mouth.

“I am concentrating on confirming what Abel said, but the stability is definitely different depending on how the cores are combined.”

Abel immediately told me what he felt on the day the experiment ended.

This was because it was a task that had to be performed independently of the new contract.

Abel nodded and replied.

“yes. Although there are signs of attention to the combination of cores, it is not enough to pay attention a little. Before that, you used the same species of core, right?”

“that’s right.”

“Just because they are of the same species doesn’t necessarily mean they are compatible. On the contrary, something else might be a better fit.”

Convergence of the core is not so easy.

The fragments of the giant go back on a different principle than normal life forms, especially the core.

“Certainly, the best combination right now was the combination of two entities: Fire Monkey and Black Lizard.”

“It’s an interesting combination. If you look, you will probably find quite a few combinations.”

Deborah smiled and nodded before opening her mouth slowly.

“It’s to the point where I want to recruit him not only as a test rider, but also as a researcher.”

“That is an undeserved compliment. Not at that level at all.”

“What a researcher needs is not only knowledge, but… … . I can see you’re not interested.”

In response to Abel’s reaction, Deborah diverted the topic to something else instead of bringing it up.

“But is it really okay to transplant the current core to Gigant?”

Deborah’s question was reasonable.

Even though it was successfully operated once, there are still many unstable aspects.

But Abel said firmly.

“yes. It is risky, but you can control it.”

For Abel, the power of the new core was worth the risk.

Deborah readily answered, as if she had no intention of persuading her any further.

“Then, I’ll leave the transplant to the Vulcanus Workshop and proceed right away. And I will lend you the artifacts that were provided during the experiment free of charge.”

“You mean those artifacts?”

“yes. Think of it as a small gift.”

“I will write thank you.”

Abel didn’t bother to refuse.

If it was an artifact that was used during the experiment, there would be no risk of death even in the worst situation.

After finishing the story related to the contract to some extent like that.

Abel brought up a question he had been preparing for.

“Apart from the contract, I have a question.”

“Which one?”

“Do you know anything about the remains of the giant?”

At the question, Deborah gave a slightly surprised look and smiled.

“You mean in the Red Hall?”
