Chapter 391 - 391: The Cloak
"As soon as the shine of the crystal ball becomes dim, stop touching it and keep it back in the pockets," the scientist exclaimed.
"That"s true. The decay helps me steal life energy, sometimes even working on attacks. When I"m out of energy, I can absorb from these. It"s certainly useful." Lucifer thought, glancing at the crystal b.a.l.l.s in his hand.
"But how did this guy know that my decay can steal energy?" A frown also engulfed his face.
"What do you mean absorb the energy? How can I do it?" Lucifer asked, acting ignorant.
"You don"t have to hide it. I"m not the only one that managed to guess it." the white-haired man smiled. "In any case, it"s just how your power works. It"s not the limitation of your decay. So there"s no reason to keep it hidden either."
"That"s true. They know how my decay works but not the fact that my healing gets stronger because of decay as well. It should be fine. Still, it"s surprising to know that this guy knew about it." Lucifer thought, shaking his head.
"Is there any other specialty of this cloak?" he asked, changing the topic.
"There are a few more," the scientist nodded.
"Firstly, it shines. I mean, if you"re stuck in a dark place with no source of light, you can simply make a rectangle on the chest portion, and the cloak will start shining, brightening your surroundings."
"Next, it can protect the things in your pocket. In case an attack lands on you, and it"s so overwhelming that the cloak can"t stop the attack, it"ll absorb the energy of the attack, letting the rest pa.s.s through."
"But it"s different for the pockets. No matter how strong the attack is, this cloak protects the others, stopping the attack from pa.s.sing from that spot. So you can keep things safe there."
"Also, it is impossible to cut. If a person thrust an ordinary sword at you, the cloak won"t let the sword pa.s.s through."
"It"s also fireproof and bullet proof. Moreover, you can use it to disrupt the communication field in your surroundings too, jamming the communication of your enemies."
"With this trick, you can stop your enemies from contacting others, especially their base. But remember one thing, it can only cause a disruption field within a radius of twenty meters. If someone is outside that range, they can still call others."
As the scientist talked and explained the features of this cloak, pride was evident on his face for what they had managed to achieve.
"And how do I trigger that field? Don"t tell me I need to draw on the chest portion again? What is it next time, a triangle?" Lucifer asked.
"Ah, how did you guess so easily?!" The white-haired man exclaimed in surprise.
"Just a hunch," Lucifer let out, smiling wryly. "I think you"re addicted to shapes."
"Not really. I just made it simple so everyone could remember—circle for color, square for light, and Triangle for communication disruption. Should be easy to remember," the white-haired man responded, smiling.
"Is there anything else?" Lucifer asked. "Any other use and shape to draw? Rectangle is still left."
"That would be all. These are the only uses of it. So, what do you think about it?" The scientist asked.
"I think this cloak is good. It would certainly come in handy with all the features it had. Even though it has Zei Radiation, it"s perfect for me. But you should still work to remove that radiation so others could use it too," Lucifer praised the cloak.
"The radiation would keep my healing constantly working but only to a small extent. It"s good too since my healing would only get stronger the more it worked," he thought.
"Yeah. That"s what we"re working on. Anyway, do you want to give it a try?"
Lucifer nodded as he took off his jacket. Picking up the cloak, he donned it.
He drew a circle to change the color of the cloak. The color changed to red.
"How long before I get to black again? How many colors are there on it?" he asked the scientist as he continued drawing on the cloak.
"Not too many. Nine colors only," the scientist answered.
Lucifer kept drawing circles until the cloak finally became pitch black. "This is better. So, what"s next?"
"Next is this thing. I think this would be useful as well," The man said, picking up sungla.s.ses.
" And what does it do?" Lucifer asked, observing the fairly ordinary-looking sungla.s.ses.
" These aren"t ordinary sungla.s.ses. First of all, they are connected directly to our satellite that we own now. There"s a speaker in it near the ear part. Using these gla.s.ses, you can talk to anyone."
"Think of it as a hidden phone that uses our personal satellite for communication."
"There"s a voice a.s.sistant inside, so all you need to do is say, "Call" and speak the number you want to call. I have already placed the numbers of all the Uprising members on it. You just need to say call, followed by their name, and it"ll handle the rest."
"It uses bone conduction technology to get the voice to you, without letting anyone in the surroundings hear. There"s also a secret mic which transmits your voice."
"This is pretty useful as well. Not bad. I"m impressed," Lucifer let out, amazed at the gla.s.ses. With these, he could talk to anyone without being found out.
"That"s not all. With this, you can also see through the wall or door, but it only works on one wall. You can"t see through two consecutive walls with these. Maybe in the future, we"ll be able to achieve that as well. To activate that, you need to say, help me see through the wall."
" It also has the X-Ray technology, using which you can see if someone is carrying a weapon or not. Just tell the voice a.s.sistant that you want to use X-Ray."
"There"s one more thing that I forgot to mention. There"s a screen inside the gla.s.ses. It has many uses, for example, you can search for something, and the results will be shown inside your gla.s.ses."
"Or, in case someone wants to share their laptop screen to you or show you an image, they can send that to your gla.s.ses. That"s just a few cases. There are literally many uses to it which I can"t state."
"Oh, and you can also use them as normal sungla.s.ses to protect your eyes from UV rays. It can also hide your unique eye color."
"What do you think about this?" The white-haired man asked.
