Chapter 160: Gabriel is Watching Gabriel Dropout

After finishing his conversation with Alice, Takumi headed to the research institute.

The moment he opened a spatial portal and stepped in, he was greeted by a sharp voice.

"Cosmo is ready!" "Strike Freedom Gundam, prepare to launch~!"

Hearing that intense voice, Takumi looked confused.

Turning his head, he spotted Velvie in the distance, waving her terminal.

And in front of her—stood a Gundam.

Takumi was stunned.

Good grief, how long has it been? And Velvie's already built a Gundam?

Had she been watching anime?

Takumi was baffled and immediately hurried over.

"Launch!" "Supersonic flight, breaking through the atmosphere!" "Now entering space. Begin combat sequence." "Next, I'll deploy robots to engage you."

As he reached Velvie, she excitedly rattled off her instructions.

Before long, the Gundam controlled by Cosmo activated.

Spreading its wings, it shot into the air.

Takumi couldn't help but ask:

"You really built a Gundam? What are you testing?"

Hearing his voice, Velvie lit up.

"These suits are just too cool for space combat." "If Cosmo hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known about this design." "So I spent a day making it." "Cool, right?"

Whether it was strong didn't matter—as long as it looked awesome.

She was also planning to create armor from Kamen Rider.

Listening to her, Takumi twitched.

"As long as you're happy." "Whatever, go ahead and play."

He couldn't be bothered to intervene.

Still, it was nice seeing them create things.

"Wait a sec!" "Give me those things from your imaginary space." "The mechanical lifeforms."

Seeing Takumi turn to leave, Velvie panicked.

She grabbed him, asking him to hand over the mechanical lifeforms.

Takumi didn't object.

"Sure! If you want them, they're all yours." "I'll release them right here."

Glancing at a nearby empty field, Takumi unloaded everything.

"Alright~!!" "I'll have Prometheus build some military airfields later." "You've got cities here but no military bases." "We need to set those up!"

Velvie was thrilled by the sight.

She had lost interest in Herrscher cores.

Now, she was all about those mechanical lifeforms.

With a little modification, she might be able to create a super mecha.

After unloading everything, Takumi entered the institute.

He headed straight to the biology sector, heading to Mobius' lab.

As soon as he arrived, he heard Mobius' voice.

"Klein, hand me the B-X102 vial." "Zhu Dan, help process reagent 1-C32."

Inside, Mobius was busy at work.

Ever since she came to Takumi's side and learned about his biology, she had been thrilled.

She dove straight into her work.

Right now, Mobius was adjusting the psychic awakening formula— converting it into one that could enhance psychic abilities.

The original awakening formula was already near-perfect.

Even Mobius couldn't find any flaws.

So now, she was working on a booster formula.

"Mobius!" "Want to check out another world?" "That world is merging with another." "It contains something called Gourmet Cells." "They allow you to get stronger just by eating."

Takumi cut straight to the point.

Hearing this, Mobius paused.

"Gourmet Cells?" "Stronger just by eating?"

"That's very intriguing."

Mobius was instantly hooked.

This needed serious research.

"Good! If you're interested, I can send you there." "You'll be able to study it firsthand."

Seeing her interest, Takumi finalized his decision.

If she was into it, everything would go smoothly.

Mobius raised her brows.

"A few days later, okay?" "I can't leave now."

She gestured to her work.

If she left, her research would be interrupted.

Mobius wasn't someone who quit midway.

Takumi was briefly surprised, then said:

"Alright, we'll wait until your experiment ends." "There's no rush on that end."

If Mobius didn't want to leave now, he wouldn't force her.

Things wouldn't escalate immediately anyway.

No rush.

There might even be a group mission later.

Since there was no mission now, it should be fine.

With that thought, Takumi dropped the topic.

He wandered the lab for a while, teased Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan a bit, then took his leave.

He was pretty free now.

He messaged Alice in the group:

Letting her know Mobius would head over in a few days.

Then he stopped checking the group chat.

Takumi wandered aimlessly.

When he reached the chapel, he decided to check on the heavens.

What had Gabriel done to heaven lately?

With that thought, Takumi teleported to the celestial realm.

Inside, aside from Gabriel's angels, there were many new faces.

All of them had reincarnated as angels.

Yuuki was among them.

It was easy to distinguish born angels from reincarnated ones.

For example—those without golden hair were usually reincarnated.

The new angels were learning celestial magic.

Yuuki was practicing swordsmanship.

Apparently, Gabriel had discovered her talent and assigned her a swordmaster angel as mentor.

Gabriel had even gifted both sisters a divine weapon.

It was clear Gabriel intended to groom them as main combatants.

Takumi observed the scene without interrupting.

He quietly made his way to where Gabriel was.

There, Gabriel was happily lounging on a sofa, playing with a terminal—browsing the internet.

Clearly, Gabriel had become quite fond of the internet.

Was she... watching anime?

Takumi leaned in.

Oh wow!!

She was watching Gabriel DropOut!
