章 225: Candidate 00126 The Rising Star

"EXPLOSION IS NOW BEING CONTAINED!"

The voices of different AIs reverberated across the place as sirens rang out.

Gustav was starting to regain his senses, so he heard bits of the announcements.

'It's been a while since I last bled. I wonder what caused this explosion?' Gustav said internally as he cleaned his blood-stained sleeves while sitting up and leaning his back against the wall.

He stared at the front, where he could see the explosion being covered by a blue energy field as it shrunk in size.

'At the very least, I got something from it,' Gustav thought while reaching out to grab something in mid-air.

He grabbed onto something only he could see because right before the shockwave slammed into him, he activated Energy Installment.

Energy installment absorbed part of the energy from the blast into a spherical orb that was currently invisible to everyone's eyes except Gustav.
