Chapter 002: Armor Summoning

"So beautiful!" Duan Tian exclaimed sincerely. The arrogant voice of Achilles echoed in his mind again: "Of course, at that time, I, Achilles, was renowned for my perfection, said to embody the essence of the universe, promote the cycle of matter, and elevate life..." "Alright, alright, if I say you're fat, you start huffing and puffing." Duan Tian interrupted him impatiently

Duan Tian rolled his eyes inwardly: "Since you are living well, why didn't you appear when I summoned you?" The voice huffed, somewhat arrogantly, and said: "Do you think I, Achilles, am just anyone who can be summoned and commanded by you so easily?"

In fact, Duan Tian's appetite is not large, but this meal left the table piled high with bowls and dishes, even requiring them to be stacked—one can imagine the feats of Achilles.

Although I, Achilles, am flawless and renowned for embodying the essence of the universe, promoting the cycle of matter, enhancing biological taste, strengthening genetic perfection, increasing men's endurance, elevating women's sensual pleasure, being adored by all, blooming like flowers, being welcomed by vehicles, and causing even the smallest of followers to bow in reverence, I do have two minor hobbies. The first is chatting with people ... .. . ''The first is chatting with people ... .. . ''

At that moment, the evolutionary armor on his arm suddenly emitted a hazy red light. Duan Tian was taken aback and asked, "Achilles, what is happening?" Achilles casually replied, "How would I know what is going on?" Duan Tian felt a surge of confusion; Achilles clearly realized he had let something slip and quickly added, "It might be that something capable of devouring evolution has been detected nearby."

Duan Tian secretly wiped away a bead of sweat, thinking to himself how close that was

Duan Tian found a restaurant, stood at the entrance and inhaled the aroma for a while. Noticing that the annoying voice in his mind did not appear, he understood that this place surely did not meet Achilles' "taste".

Hello, Achilles, you must keep your word; quickly show me your strength.

"I am not cursing you to death." Duan Tian suddenly realized: "Aren't you able to read my thoughts? You should know exactly what I'm thinking." The voice chuckled awkwardly and said: "It has been many years since I last engaged in a verbal sparring match with someone. It's hard to resist when I finally find someone..."

"It's right in that box," Achilles said hastily. Duan Tian pulled the box out from under the table; inside were some toys from his childhood that had not been touched for a long time, and the surface of the box was covered with a layer of dust

After Achilles finished speaking, Duan Tian's mind fell into a deep silence

Duan Tian hurriedly apologized: "I am very sorry, please continue."

Duan Tianyi was taken aback, recalling the magical bright white room during the fusion, as well as that ball of white light membrane. As his thoughts stirred, the voice immediately sensed it: "That's right, that is me"

On the first day of the new semester, Duan Tian was the only student in the entire class who could not summon his battle armor. The first day's lesson was solely focused on integrating the battle armor, and no other classes were scheduled. Seeing that all the other students had summoned their battle armors except for Duan Tian, Teacher Kate said, "Alright, this student should practice a few more times at home. Don't worry, you will summon it one day. Now, class is dismissed."

Finally, when Duan Tian stood at the entrance of a two-star hotel restaurant, that evil voice jumped out: "Aha, and books, this is the treatment that Achilles should enjoy. Hurry in, hurry in, I haven't had a feast in thousands of years, today I must eat my fill"

However, the energy heat flow described by Teacher Kate still remains elusive. Duan Tian felt a surge of anxiety: What on earth is going on? His goal is to become a citizen, and his parents have already paved the first stone step towards citizenship with their lives. If he just puts in a little more effort, he is certain to become a citizen. But is he really going to falter at the very first step of merging with the battle armor?

Duan Tian thought to himself: "This armor is indeed the same as yours." Achilles joyfully replied: "The same elegant and unrestrained demeanor?" "The same gluttony."

After finishing his meal, Duan Tian sat beside the table, extending his right hand diagonally forward. He recalled the key points taught by Teacher Kate, relaxed his body, focused his mind, and envisioned his evolutionary battle armor

Ah! Sofia exclaimed in surprise, quickly embracing her battle armor and examining it incessantly. She was the first student in the class to successfully summon her own battle armor. Teacher Kate was greatly pleased: it took only three attempts for her to summon her battle armor, confirming that she had not misjudged; this student indeed has great potential for development. Teacher Kate walked over briskly, placing her hand on Sofia's shoulder, inquiring with great warmth.

While Teacher Kate was carefully guiding Sofia, she casually glanced at Duan Tian. Seeing this student, who showed no potential for development, blushing profusely yet still unable to summon his evolution armor, she felt no surprise. She turned her face back and continued explaining to Sofia some important points to consider during the growth phase of the evolution armor

However, when Duan Tian saw the prices of the dishes on the menu, which easily exceeded one hundred, the cold sweat on his forehead had already begun to emerge

Duàn Tiān suddenly understood the somewhat indifferent tone in Teacher Kate's words during class: "One day, it will be summoned." It turned out that the teacher had long suspected that he might have merged with the A-type of death, but she had never held much hope for a student of his caliber, hence her indifference.

It is I. That voice resounded again: "The armor type that you cursed to death. The information I found in your brain is: You must regard the evolutionary battle armor as your friends and family—do you have the heart to curse your own kin to death?"

Achilles, Achilles!" Duan Tian called out twice, but received no response. He felt helpless: you left without a word, yet you could at least have clarified what kind of food would be worthy of your taste.

He opened the box, which contained model cars, space battleships, and adorable cartoon dolls... Regarding these items, the evolutionary battle armor on his arm showed no reaction at all. He continued to rummage until he reached the bottom of the box, where a pile of stones he had collected from the wild during his childhood lay. As a child, Duan Tian had a fondness for collecting oddly shaped stones, and his father and mother often took him to safe outdoor areas to search for such stones.

A crystal the size of a corn kernel was embedded in a stone—this stone was his favorite from years ago. When he discovered it, he was excited for a long time, convinced that the milky white, translucent crystal was a gem that could provide his family with a prosperous life. Unfortunately, the simple gem identification device his father found shattered his dreams. However, until he entered the Federal Primary Academy, he firmly believed that this crystal was a treasure, that he was not mistaken, and that the device was faulty. Unfortunately, the simple gem identification device his father found shattered his dreams. However, until he entered the Federal Primary Academy, he firmly believed that this crystal was a treasure, that he was not mistaken, and that the device was faulty.

With his pockets completely empty, he exited the hotel and could only take the free public transportation. After several transfers, he finally returned to the relief community where he resided. Closing the door, Duan Tian eagerly began the summoning.

Duan Tian's mind was suddenly filled with a loud bang, and in an instant, he was completely stunned. A person can only fuse with one type of armor, and this holds true even for perfect human types. Fusing with an already deceased type of armor means that one will never be able to become an interstellar warrior in this lifetime

The common people prepare their own three meals a day at home, and those living in government relief communities are even less likely to dine out. Therefore, in the area where Duan Tian resides, there are very few restaurants, and even if there are, Duan Tian can be certain that they would not match Achilles' "taste"

The evolution armor that had devoured the crystal formed a small bulge in the palm of his hand, continuously writhing, and then gradually disappeared. At the same time, the evolution armor also merged into his palm.

Duan Tian was taken aback: "Devouring Evolution! Isn't the evolution of battle armor dependent on the warrior's diligent training and the accumulation of energy to achieve a qualitative change? Moreover, my evolutionary battle armor is still in its growth phase. What does Devouring Evolution mean?" Achilles chuckled: "That's a secret. You might want to look around; there must be something in this room that has piqued its appetite. If you can find it, you will understand the meaning of Devouring Evolution in two or three days, without me having to waste my breath as the universe's most perfect being, known for embodying the essence of the universe, promoting material circulation, enhancing biological taste, improving genetic perfection, increasing men's endurance, heightening women's sexual pleasure, being loved by all, blooming like flowers, being carried by cars, and making little brothers bow down in admiration."

... ...

"Who says I am a type A of death?" Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind. Duan Tian, on the brink of collapse, was pulled back from the edge of the cliff by this voice: "Who! Who is it? Who is speaking to me?"

A series of burps echoed in Duan Tian's mind, making his teeth itch with anger. Despite having consumed so much, Duan Tian felt nothing at all, for Achilles had unceremoniously borrowed his taste system, leaving him deprived of all the delicious flavors. The poor Duan Tian was left to continuously chew and toil.

Duan Tian swore that if Achilles could not demonstrate satisfactory strength, he would certainly curse this gluttonous and noisy fellow with the most venomous words he could think of every day in his mind

The material of this evolutionary battle armor is neither metal nor iron, and a magnificent and resplendent radiance flows within the armor. As the radiance flows, Duan Tian can distinctly feel an almost uncontrollable powerful energy.

Duan Tianda was unwilling to accept defeat; he continuously experimented according to the methods taught by Teacher Kate, repeating the process over and over again. After dozens of attempts, he finally despondently gave up, as there was not a trace of energy fluctuation within his body. No matter how hard he concentrated, there was no response at the position of his heart.

Duan Tian frowned, and as his thoughts stirred, Achilles sensed it: "Indeed, now you and I are one; your stomach is also my stomach. I do not care how you mistreated yourself before, but now that I am here, everything must be done according to my standards. If you want my assistance, that is fine, but before dinner, I require a meal that befits my status and taste. Otherwise, you will not see your evolution armor."

The waiter held a tray, on which was the bill: "Sir, the total is 2,300 Federal dollars. Our manager has given you a 10% discount, making it 2,070 Federal dollars. You can round it off to 2,000 Federal dollars. Thank you for your patronage"

If it is not the evolutionary battle armor, then what exactly is that talking entity within my own body

Achilles also seemed a bit embarrassed: "Alright then, I will grant you this once more. If you need anything, just shout 'Achilles captivates countless young girls,' and I will come to assist you."

He, filled with deep concern, entrusted all his wealth to the waiter, while in his mind echoed the triumphant voice of Achilles: "Look, I have brought you good fortune; otherwise, you would surely have been detained today..."

Achilles said: "Now that you are out of money, hurry up and think of a way to earn some. Don't forget, the next time you ask me for help, you will still need to treat me to a fine meal." Duan Tian was anxious: "Two thousand Federal dollars, just for a glance at you, you are more expensive than the most famous star in the Federation!"

Duan Tian was so astonished that he first let out a long sigh of relief: "You didn't die, that's truly wonderful..."

"In the name of peace, erupt!" Sitting in front of Duan Tian, Sofia is a clever girl. After three attempts, she successfully summoned her battle armor. A pure white light enveloped her palm, spiraling upward. At the moment the light solidified, a silver-white translucent crystal gauntlet appeared on her hand, connected to a half-armored sleeve, protecting her forearm.

Achilles did not trouble him this time: "I have already demonstrated it, did you not see?" Duan Tianyi lowered his head and indeed found that his right hand and a large portion of his forearm were covered with a layer of dark golden armor— the area covered by the armor was even larger than that of Sophia's!

Is it about arguing with someone

Duan Tianxin smiled bitterly to himself; he worked at a private pharmacy to earn a living. How could he not be aware of the prices of the armor enhancement potions? The savings left by his parents were limited, and they needed to be reserved for future tuition fees when he entered a higher education institution. Every day after school, he worked three hours at the private pharmacy, earning a meager wage that barely covered his basic needs. How could he afford to buy any armor enhancement potions?

He called the pharmacy where he worked and requested a day off. Then, with the little savings left by his parents, he took the public transit to another district, which is a dedicated commercial area with almost no residential facilities, consisting entirely of commercial blocks

Duan Tian powered on the old biological superbrain at home, connected to the interstellar network, and sought to find the secret to summoning the evolution armor for the first time

With Duan Tian's culinary skills, the dishes he prepares are unlikely to be much better than fast food products. It is estimated that it will be difficult to satisfy Achilles' "taste." He thought for a moment, and decided that, regardless of the outcome, he would first satisfy him once to see exactly what it was, and then decide what to do next. Although it might cost a considerable amount of money, for the sake of his lifelong path, Duan Tian decided to take a gamble.

He suddenly stood up, his thigh crashing into the table that held the biological superbrain, causing a clatter of chaos.

Duan Tian's right hand extended diagonally towards his upper side, and he began the summoning according to the method the teacher had just explained. However, the甲 energy that was supposed to manifest did not appear.

During the checkout, Duan Tian felt quite anxious, as there were several dishes he could not stop Achilles from ordering, which might lead to exceeding the budget

Without any significant life experiences, Duan Tianguo was indeed hooked and immediately asked, "What is the cost?"

Thank you! Regardless, the little girl is kind-hearted, and Duan Tian's clumsiness seems to limit him to expressing gratitude with just this one phrase. Sofia encouraged him with a smile and then shouldered her backpack and left

Having switched to a more upscale restaurant, Achilles still did not appear. After changing several places in succession, Duan Tian had already begun to sweat while looking at the menu prices displayed on the electronic screen outside the restaurant, yet that damned Achilles still had not shown up.

Upon returning home, Duan Tian took a pack of instant energy meal from the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave, added some seasonings, and mixed it into a paste-like substance to haphazardly fill his stomach

What is going on? He muttered to himself and tried again. However, while others could easily summon the armor, Duan Tian was unable to sense it at all.

Duan Tian shouted: "Achilles, what on earth is going on?" Achilles did not respond

The students began to summon their evolution armors according to the methods taught by their teacher. The mantras they set for themselves were truly bizarre, invoking their armors under various names. Some even thought of their great-grandfather's left foot, as he had been a volunteer explorer in his time, and a fortunate one at that, having discovered a resource-rich planet. His left foot was the first human foot to step onto that planet. To reward his achievements, the federal government granted citizenship to his entire family.

Upon picking up that stone, the evolutionary battle armor on the arm suddenly transformed into a mass of water, enveloping the stone entirely. Moments later, the stone was expelled, but the crystal on its surface had vanished!

Duan Tian shouted twice, but Achilles still did not respond. If this arrogant, narcissistic, and often self-satisfied fellow refuses to come out on his own, Duan Tian is powerless to do anything about it. It was already late, and thinking about having to attend class the next day, Duan Tian climbed onto his small bed and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Duan Tian was petrified on the spot, sitting in front of the slightly yellowed screen of the old biological superbrain, staring blankly for a full half minute

It seems that you do not want me to help

Perhaps it was due to the bright and pure smile of the little girl at the front desk that Duan Tian's mood improved significantly, and the frustration stemming from his inability to summon the evolution armor also dissipated considerably

Let us reconsider the phenomenon that has captivated countless young girls

Indeed, there will come a day when it will be summoned. Duan Tian was truly affected by this statement. He left the classroom in a gloomy mood, but was called back by Sophia: "Hey." Duan Tian turned around and saw her pair of sparkling big eyes. When those eyes curved, they formed two beautiful crescent shapes: "Don't be discouraged. My father said that it's quite normal not to summon the battle armor the first time. Well, it seems that the federal store sells battle armor growth agents. Why don't you buy a few bottles and give it a try with the books..."

Duantian's parents left him two thousand Federal dollars. The Federal medium institutions do not charge tuition fees, and the Federal relief apartment where Duantian lives does not require rent. He originally intended to save this two thousand Federal dollars to pay for the first year's tuition at a Federal higher education institution, provided that he could successfully gain admission to the Federal higher education institution

"Achilles is the foremost killer of married women in the entire universe"

Well... the second thing is that I enjoy gourmet food. Achilles suddenly became agitated: "The fast food and junk food you eat are simply an insult to Achilles' stomach. You still want me to help you? Dream on, no way, hum!"

Duan Tian was so preoccupied with worrying whether the federal credits he had on him were enough to pay for the meal that he forgot to ask how it was possible for the human research on evolutionary battle armor to have lasted only five hundred years while it had not consumed anything for thousands of years

There are many posts on the internet, but the content is largely similar. After searching for two hours, I still couldn't find anything similar to Duan Tian. Generally speaking, after fusion, one should be able to summon the battle armor within one hour. If it exceeds one hour, it indicates that it will be impossible to summon the battle armor in this lifetime—having fused with a deceased type of armor.

Can it be changed to another one

He walked around the house with a sense of doubt, and as he approached a wooden box, the hazy red light became particularly intense.

Duan Tian felt that this matter must be negotiated; otherwise, he might become the first person in the history of the Federation to be trampled to death by millions of feet due to the summoning incantation being too inferior

Since the passing of his parents, Duan Tian has been living alone in this room for nearly three years. He is well aware of what is in the house and truly cannot think of anything that would satisfy the 'appetite' of an evolutionary battle armor on par with Achilles.

However, suddenly Duan Tian realized that if this guy really clung to his body, he would truly be at a loss as to how to deal with him. "Kid," the voice that claimed to be Achilles suddenly took on a demonic tone: "If you want the great Achilles to help you, you must pay a certain price..."

Peh peh peh! That voice angrily exclaimed: "What do you mean by death, death? It's ominous, very ominous. Why do you always curse me to death? Of course, I am not dead; I am living well and can guarantee that I will live better than those who curse me to death!"

Achilles left, and Duan Tiancai calmed down to ponder: what exactly had he fused with? He picked up the keyboard that he had just smashed; it still had a few keys that worked. He opened a popular search engine and entered "mecha communication". The search result was "0". No one had ever encountered a talking evolved mecha!

In an instant, Duan Tian felt as if the sky had darkened and the earth had collapsed. The earnest expectations of his parents, the indifference of those around him, and the disdain of Teacher Kate surged into his mind all at once, causing his vision to blur. Suddenly, he became frantic and smashed the super brain keyboard in front of him with a punch, shouting hoarsely at the ceiling: "Why, why did I have to merge with a dead A-type? Why is this so unfair to me!"

He glanced around the room; the government-subsidized apartment was quite small, clearly visible at a glance, and there was no one else present besides himself

In the most intense bargaining, Duan Tian fought for his own reputation and finally confirmed that his true title was "The Unmatched War God Achilles"
