"This is so damn true..."
Xin rubbed his forehead, completely speechless.
The problem was obvious—he hadn't even finished building the thing yet, and he had already realized the concept existed in another form. Was this still innovation, or had he accidentally turned into someone copying an existing design?
It felt… a little messed up.
"Forget it."
Xin exhaled and waved off the thought.
"At least the idea works."
In the end, he didn't dwell on whether it resembled an existing design or not. Functionality mattered more than originality in this world. If the plan was good, there was no reason to discard it just because someone somewhere might have done something similar.
Besides, there was no concept of universal copyright here. If everything remotely similar had to be avoided, then even names would become a problem—there were countless people and entities sharing similar names across worlds. That kind of restriction simply didn't make sense.
"Yeah, no need to overthink it. Creation comes first."
Xin made up his mind.
He input the full design requirements into the Creative Magic system, gathered a sufficient amount of magic energy, and began the construction process.
Soon, Biological Armor Version 1.0 was completed.
Since most of the components were based on existing technologies, the creation process was surprisingly smooth and low-cost. It was essentially a combination of refined systems that already existed in Great Tree Village's technological foundation.
In terms of appearance, Xin borrowed the sleek, streamlined aesthetic of the Black Water Lily, giving the armor a smooth and agile silhouette.
However, he also made several modifications.
A reinforced chestplate was added, inspired by Artoria's armor design, giving it both elegance and defensive strength. The sharp blade-like protrusions originally planned for the joints were removed for practicality, and the skirt armor was extended for better protection and balance.
As for armament, the arms were equipped with a three-in-one modular system—foldable sword, shield, and firearm—similar in concept to the Archangel Gundam from 00 Gundam. This allowed rapid switching between close combat, defense, and ranged attacks.
The waist section featured extended skirt armor, which also housed dual multi-directional electromagnetic cannons mounted on both sides. These provided flexible firing angles and mid-range suppression capability.
The shoulder armor was further expanded. Beyond assisting with flight propulsion, each shoulder contained an eight-unit missile pod. Combined with additional missile systems embedded in the leg armor, the full loadout reached six missile clusters in total, allowing a maximum payload of forty-eight small missiles.
On the back, Xin integrated a modified version of the Teigu "Thousand-Mile Flight: Mastema," forming a pair of wing-like structures. These wings were not only for flight—they could also be used as high-speed cutting weapons during combat.
Overall, the design clearly reflected Xin's preference for overwhelming firepower. The armor wasn't subtle—it was built to dominate through sheer output.
At the same time, he still made sure not to neglect defense. Shielding systems, layered armor reinforcement, and magic-based protective barriers were all integrated as much as possible within the structure.
It was, in essence, a balance between survivability and extreme offensive capability.
A fully armed, high-mobility combat armor—built for versatility, endurance, and firepower.
