Chapter 013 IS

To be honest, Wang Bo was really afraid that Diana would suddenly accelerate to a hundred Mach. Honestly, this was a realm Wang Bo had not yet reached.

Even using Ripple Qigong enhancement, magic enhancement, Nine Yang True Qi enhancement, and Cosmo enhancement, he couldn't achieve this.

If Diana could do that, Wang Bo would be beaten black and blue.

Unless he used the God Cloth.

Wearing the God Cloth, Wang Bo's Cosmo could be raised to the Eighth Sense, and then he could even fly at light speed.

But Wang Bo didn't intend to use such a cheating method.

Fortunately, Diana's bloodline had just awakened, so her power increase was limited. Her body couldn't withstand high-speed movement above forty Mach, so forty Mach was her limit.

Even in this extreme state, Diana couldn't sustain it for long.

After the two of them had destroyed the stone pillars in the desert, Diana's speed indeed began to drop.

Thirty-nine Mach, thirty-five Mach, thirty Mach. In the end, she couldn't even maintain thirty Mach and kept decreasing.

Twenty Mach, fifteen Mach, ten Mach...

Finally, Diana could only maintain a speed of ten Mach. For humans, this speed was simply unattainable; even the fastest aircraft was no better.

But for Wang Bo, ten Mach was still too slow.

In the realm of supersonic speed, every Mach is a chasm.

Not to mention the huge gap between Wang Bo's speed and Diana's. Even without using any ability to enhance his body, Wang Bo could still beat Diana.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Wang Bo punched Diana flying, then took the opportunity to snatch the God-Slayer Sword from her hand and placed the blade against her neck. "Now, are you satisfied?"

Diana let out a long breath, stood up, and said, "I admit defeat. You are indeed stronger than me. Are you also a child of a god?"

"No, I'm Superman," Wang Bo said seriously. He extended his right hand. "Now, I'll send you back."

Diana was stunned and said, "Didn't you just say we would save this world together before sending me back?"

Wang Bo: ...

Fine, whatever makes you happy.

"Great! Now we have three like-minded partners. Let's save this world together!" came the cheers from Diana's earpiece, from her companion.

Wang Bo said, "By the way, I still don't know your name."

Diana's companion said, "Hello, my name is Shinonono Tabane."

Hearing this name, Wang Bo subconsciously said, "Shinonono Tabane, the creator of IS?"

"Eh? Eh? You know me?" Shinonono Tabane was taken aback.

"Sort of."

Wang Bo hadn't expected Diana's companion to be Shinonono Tabane. This person was also not from the Pacific Rim world but a genius scientist from the Infinite Stratos world, who single-handedly invented a super-era weapon... the IS unit!

She had even changed the structure of society.

The official name of the IS is Infinite Stratos, a multifunctional suit created to allow humans to operate in space.

However, its creator, Chifuyu Orimura, had no intention of using it for space travel, and as a result, this machine with such specifications became a weapon that surpassed its era!

A person piloting an IS could single-handedly defeat an entire army. Cannons, tanks, or firearms—all were like toys before such a weapon.

It could be said that someone piloting an IS could easily destroy an army, or even a city, if they wished.

This is not an exaggeration.

The story explained in detail: one month after the IS was first unveiled, for reasons unknown, a total of 2,341 missiles from various countries, possibly targeting Japan, fell into an uncontrollable state and were launched.

When everyone was in despair, the White Knight IS appeared, cutting down about half of the missiles—roughly 1,221—with slashes, and shooting down the distant ones with a prototype large charged particle cannon.

At that time, countries around the world launched operations to seize this super-performance IS, but they all failed completely.

A single unit took out 2,341 missiles, 207 fighter jets, 7 cruisers, 5 aircraft carriers, and 8 surveillance satellites. The "ultimate mobile weapon" IS established its image in people's minds overnight.

This mobility was essentially comparable to a mobile nuclear bomb. Although it wasn't as powerful as a nuclear bomb, its advantage lay in its mobility and ability to operate for extended periods, compensating for its shortcomings.

Perhaps because this weapon was too terrifying, under the expectations of various countries, it was designated as a sport.

In other words, this weapon could only appear in arenas and was not allowed to be used in actual combat.

After all, if such a thing were deployed in combat, it would inevitably cause devastating damage to the battlefield.

If it appeared in a city, it would result in massive casualties.

Therefore, this weapon could only serve as a deterrent, not for practical use, much like nuclear bombs.

The reason Wang Bo said this weapon changed the structure of society was that Chifuyu Orimura, out of some perverse taste, modified the IS parameters, turning it into a weapon that only women could pilot.

As a result, the world of Infinite Stratos became a society where women held supremacy.

Women's status was far higher than men's.

All of this stemmed from an invention by this genius scientist.

In later society, such a person would be on par with Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Nikola Tesla.

It was very possible she surpassed them.

With a bit of embellishment, it wouldn't be impossible for her to be revered as a deity by later generations.

Wang Bo had always been curious about who could hide Diana away for half a year without being discovered by the United Nations. Now that he understood it was Chifuyu Orimura, he suddenly felt a sense of clarity.

Because in Chifuyu Orimura's original world, due to her mastery of IS core production technology, she was strictly protected and monitored by the state.

Yet, right under everyone's noses, she suddenly disappeared.

In the following years, no matter how hard various countries searched, they could not find any trace of Chifuyu Orimura, demonstrating just how formidable her hiding skills were.

With her handling it, hiding Diana's whereabouts from the United Nations was a piece of cake.

"Mr. Wang Bo, can you tell me how you know me?"

"I read a book that had your name and story." Wang Bo told the truth.

"So, I'm the protagonist?"

"No, the protagonist is a man named Ichika Orimura. Because of your perverse taste, he became the only male capable of piloting an IS in the world. You and your sister appear as his harem." Wang Bo began to spout nonsense.
