Overgeared

A knight’s face armor represented integrity, while the goat horns symbolized the devil. The helmet in the lava waterfall was in the shape of a bird with goat horns attached to the knight’s helmet.

‘It has a terrible stench.’

Grid was curious about the creator. As Grid observed the helmet, the helmet was also aware of the situation.

-That's right.Are you Pagma's Descendant?Do you want to ask me to liberate the empress’ soul?

“That’s right.”

Sure enough, it wasn’t wrong. It was a helmet, so it had a good mind. The strangely convinced Grid made a bold demand, “Liberate the soul of the empress.” The God Hands hovering around Grid slowly flew toward the lava waterfall. The name of the helmet was ‘Talima’s Shame.’

-Kukuk, it wasn’t a comedy or a drama, but a tragedy.It has been split up.Sure enough, you truly are Pagma's Descendant.

“Split up?”

-I’m talking about the empress’ soul.

The red light from Talima's Shame’s swept over the four God Hands followed by Grid’s equipment in turn. Each item that received the attention of Talima's Shame had something in common. It was an item made out of Greed, which contained pavranium.

“Ah!”

Grid understood. Originally, the soul of the empress inhabited the mineral called pavranium. However, pavranium was split apart several times and repeatedly reborn in a new form. Could the empress’ soul be safe during the process? It wasn’t possible. Even Braham had suffered from the aftermath of his soul’s damage.

‘The empress’ soul wouldn’t have been complete from the beginning.’

By the time Grid started collecting pavranium, the pavranium had already been torn apart into dozens of pieces. The empress’ soul had been broken the first time she met Grid. It was the moment when it was revealed why communication with the soul of the empress (pavranium) wasn’t smooth.

“...What is the current state of the empress’ soul?”

-She is just a rag. What else?She is an idiot with only her instincts left.

“……”

Guilt struck Grid. However, Grid hadn’t known about the empress’ soul. He hadn’t intended to harm her. Grid tried to shake off his guilt and continued asking questions.

“Is there any way to heal the soul?”

-She will ascend if you liberate her soul. Is there any need to heal it?

“Ascend?”

-A soul that has lost its body will be recovered to heaven or hell.It is the same for us, who use the battle gears as our body.

“What if the soul refuses to ascent?”

-Hahat, voluntarily refusing to ascend is only possible for monsters.

He was glad. In any case, the empress’ soul would rise to heaven as long as she freed the soul. The relieved Grid prompted Talima's Shame. “Then free her.”

-Do you seriously mean it?Won’t your battle gears be reduced to ordinary scrap iron the moment the empress’ soul is free?

This didn’t mean that the item’s functionality would deteriorate. It would become an ordinary item that was unable to make judgments or act for itself. Grid was naturally aware of it.

“I will just inject a new ego.”
