Chapter 42: Ancient Biocore
After the apparition of a canonized mecha amid the summer hunt. The devil’s enclave had been excluded from the competition and placed under special watch. A half-baked communication message was sent to the viewer notifying them of the result of that particular section.
"Due to unforeseen events, the Devil’s enclave contestants will be advanced to the next stage by default should they decide to continue to proceed"
The public’s reaction was mixed. Some wanted clarity on the situation and whether cheating was involved. Who was the guilty? How were the survivors?
Others were fine with the message as long as they got to see their favorite corebinder on camera very soon. The popularity of Nioh and his team has exploded exponentially. Their unique style, unconventional strategies, and custom weapons have conquered the hearts of the fiefdom.
Every forum and summer hunt-related conversation was about them. The instigator of this disruption was locked in his lab fiddling with his "pebble".
"So let me understand. This thing was so strong it destroyed a full battallion of Mechas" Ekoh chimed in very doubfully.
"I am telling the truth, it was quite terrifying in my vision. But now I don’t understand why it doesn’t react to any stimuli" Nioh replied.
His brain was spinning in all directions trying to make the ancient biocore react. The stone-like biocore was unresponsive leaving him and Ekoh dejected.
"Let’s think about it from another perspective," Nioh said.
"What do you mean?" Ekoh asked.
" Well, we have tried to make it react with biocore energy, kinetic energy, plasma, nuclear, and radioactive. But it didn’t bulge."
