Everything was building up to a climactic moment, but the situation looked bleak for everyone. The parasite that had taken control of Schneider possessed knowledge about humanity, making it a formidable adversary. The fact that the smartest man in the world had fallen into its hands meant that this knowledge would undoubtedly have dire consequences for humanity.
The parasite exhibited its power by forging a sword from a fragment, actively creating weapons that harnessed the fragment's strength. It made one wonder if Schneider had ever truly existed or if this had all been the parasite's doing from the very beginning. It was a far-fetched theory, but considering the impending dangers, they would have prioritized killing the parasite, even if it meant sacrificing themselves.
