Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 932 I've unlocked level four of my genes! (Just kidding)

【Ray Angel Mini: Golden Legend/Lv-, Wingman, Onboard Part, Special Enhancement Material. Equipment Requirements: Spirit attribute greater than or equal to 180, or a blank vehicle part slot.】

The miniaturized form of the Sixth Apostle, the Thunder Angel, can be used as a player or vehicle wingman to assist in combat.

This item requires you to actively activate it. Once activated, the Thunder Angel Mini will consume energy at a rate of 10 MP or 1 EN per minute and produce corresponding effects.

AT Field - The Thunder Angel Mini comes with a small AT field that can automatically defend against all ranged attacks that actively target you. It is immune to ranged non-penetrating attacks with a range of 1000 (player) / 2000 (combat vehicle) or less. Each activation will consume 50 MP / 5 EN.

Beam Cannon - Thunder Angel Mini can unleash a beam cannon attack on the target and adjust the release intensity according to its needs; the less MP/EN consumed (10MP/1EN), the shorter the attack interval (0.1 seconds), and the minimum damage is 168 (spirit attribute) * coefficient 1; the more MP/EN consumed (120MP/12EN), the longer the attack interval (1.2 seconds), and the maximum damage is 336 (sum of all attributes) * coefficient 6, and it also has the barrier penetration property.

Only one of the AT field and beam cannon can be activated at a time.

External energy source and drill bit mining - Thunder Angel mini built-in S2 mechanism mini version. Due to functional degradation, this component no longer has the effect of generating energy on its own, but it retains its own energy storage space, which can be stored by the holder actively transmitting or absorbing energy.

When possessed by the player, the player's excess MP regeneration will simultaneously affect the Thunder Angel Mini, providing it with additional energy. The player can actively release the Thunder Angel Mini to attach to a target, absorbing the opponent's energy reserves at a rate of 1% per second. During energy absorption, the Thunder Angel Mini will be unable to use the "AT Field" and "Beam Cannon" effects. When the Thunder Angel Mini is active, it can prioritize consuming its internally stored energy. The current maximum energy reserve for the Thunder Angel is 20160 MP/336 EN, and both types of energy can be stored simultaneously.

The light blue octahedron looks exquisite, like a finely crafted handmade item, or even more like a glass Rubik's Cube that would shatter if dropped on the ground—it's quite beautiful.

Cheng Tian is the kind of guy who doesn't care at all about equipping a pink heart shield or wearing a pink fluffy bunny headgear. As long as your stats are good enough, he's willing to act like a monster in cutscenes.

Even so, Cheng Tian had to admit that the Thunder Angel Mini was definitely a good product that combined good looks and good attributes.

It is not only excellent as a wingman, but it is also a coveted item for some mana-starved players, and a peerless treasure that can improve the spellcaster's combat rhythm.

However, this thing was clearly more special to Cheng Tian. It was now like a breathing light, changing between light and dark in rhythm with Cheng Tian's breathing, just like it was before the box was opened.

Cheng Tian knew that this thing was closely related to him, but he still took out another geometric object, a red sphere that was slowly pulsating like a heart.

[The core essence of the Sixth Apostle: Golden Legend, Skill Stone, Consumable. As the core fragment of the S2 mechanism that can support the complete projection and movement of the Sixth Apostle's enormous body in the real world, it contains enhanced records about the activation method of 'Absolute Territory/AT Field'.]

Upon crushing, you will automatically learn the A-rank skill 'Absolute Territory/AT Field', and there is a small chance to gain an additional key enhancement attribute related to "energy saving" at Lv1.

During the last expedition, Cheng Tian obtained a Gold Expansion Point, which allows him to add a blank skill slot.

Based solely on the protective effect of the AT field, this item is worth investing extra resources in for many players.

But things are different for Cheng Tian.

While the Ninth Angel's erosion of EVA Unit-03 successfully neutralized the phase of Cheng Tian's Heart Barrier, the two skills may have different focuses, but their origins are highly similar.

Cheng Tian had a premonition before opening the box, and sure enough, when the light blue octahedron and the dark red sphere floated in his hand, the Heart Space prompt popped up.

[Detected that you possess the exclusive class skill "Heart Barrier" and the derivative skill "Mind Crystal" for the "Heart Priest" class.]

[You have been detected to possess the special enhancement material "Thunder Angel Mini" and the skill stone "Sixth Apostle's Core Essence"—] [You have been detected to possess 1 Gold Fusion Point—]

You have met the basic requirements for a qualitative leap in skill fusion.

[You can consume 1 Gold Fusion Point to use 'Heart Barrier' and 'Heart Crystal' as the skill fusion base, and 'Thunder Angel Mini' and 'Sixth Apostle Core Essence' as fusion materials to perform a qualitative fusion upgrade.]

The new panel that popped up in front of Cheng Tian also directly displayed the corresponding enhancement slots.

The images, from left to right, are: "The Core Essence of the Sixth Apostle" + "Barrier of the Heart" + Golden Fusion Point + "Heart Crystal" + "Mini Thunder Angel".

Everything was ready; all that was left was for Mr. Cheng to drag in all the corresponding skill materials.

There's nothing to hesitate about. Even from the perspective of "saving a blank skill slot," Cheng Tian has every reason to proceed with the fusion.

Accompanied by a mechanical roar that Kelly was very familiar with, the two skills and two items were crushed and disassembled, and then began to recombine. At the same time, Cheng Tian, ​​as the controller, felt something breaking out from the depths of his heart.

Kara!
After a shattering sound that seemed to encompass all the commonalities of dimensional tremors, spatial rifts, shattering challenges, and personal breakthroughs, Cheng Tian's new skill took shape—

S-rank skill: Light of the Mind.

【Light of the Mind: S-rank skill/Lv-, class skill, composite skill. A brand new skill created by using 'Mind Barrier' and 'Mind Crystal' as forging materials, supplemented by 'Mini Thunder Angel' and 'Core Essence of the Sixth Apostle' as catalysts, and perfectly integrated under the power of the Golden Fusion Point. It is one of the ultimate manifestations of the spiritual power of a living being.】

All mind control skills of S rank and below Lv14 are ineffective against you. Even if the judgment is effective, the final effect and duration will be forcibly halved.

Your Mind's Light can switch between "defensive stance" and "offensive stance". When you are in the "Holy Demon Heart" form, the defensive stance and the offensive stance can coexist.

Defensive Stance - You can passively or actively deploy an AT field at any time to be immune to ranged non-penetrating attacks with a damage of 2500 points (no vehicle) / 5000 points (with vehicle). Each hit will be judged separately, and when the enemy's attack exceeds 2500/5000 points, the damage will be offset at a ratio of 10MP/1EN:600HP.

Every time your AT field suffers a hostile attack (whether or not it breaks through defenses), it will trigger a double mana regeneration effect, up to 6 times, with a maximum duration of 60 minutes, which can be refreshed.

Your AT Field deployment will not be restricted by the original framework, and will retain both the "Guardian Barrier" and "Binding Trap" usage methods.

Offensive Stance – Your Mind's Light will manifest as Thunder Angel Wingmen, with a maximum of 6 available. Each individual Thunder Angel Wingman has 6 absolute health points, an independent energy storage space, a small-range AT field, a beam cannon, external energy source and drill mining capabilities, and can replicate the ranged attack skills currently used by the main body.

The range of the Thunder Angel's ranged attack replication is now fully unlocked, allowing for the perfect replication of all ranged attacks from the main body/currently piloted mech, but it still requires the corresponding MP/EN to be consumed.

If any of the Thunder Angel wingmen is destroyed, it will enter a 6-hour self-repair phase, during which its internal energy reserves will be completely depleted.

[Additional comment: In other words, if you're piloting the Oyster, you can get 6 free shots out of nowhere!]
