Chapter 216: A Legendary Uniform

It sounded so plain—a name that could just as well be for standard military-grade personal protective gear. Yenir resignedly tapped to open its details.

Generally, the flashier the name, the stronger the gear. Especially those bearing titles or mysterious elements usually come with incredible abilities.

And equipment described with tech features? They’re basically junk.

‘Prototype Single-Operator Combat Uniform [Type 3 – Modified]’

‘Equipment Attributes: Constitution +7, Speed +3’

‘Equipment Effect: Upon equipping, gain’

‘Bulletproof Immunity: Any kinetic, firearm-class weapon won’t harm you. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Explosion Immunity: Any explosive effect, classified as artillery-class thermal weapons, won’t harm you. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Burn Resistance: You become immune to high temperatures below 3000 degrees. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Cold Resistance: You become immune to cold effects down to -95°C. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Blunt Damage Reduction: You reduce blunt weapon damage by 33%, including, but not limited to, any collision damage. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Sharp Damage Reduction: You reduce sharp weapon damage by 33%, including but not limited to fragment attacks, and until the combat uniform is compromised, you’re immune to laceration effects. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Ranged Reduction: You reduce any ranged attack damage by 33%, including elemental, spirit energy, and more. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Adaptive Form: This gear adapts to your body type, ignoring any changes in physique. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Indestructible: This equipment won’t break, boasting rule-level solidification. This effect is rule-level.’

‘Underwater Movement: When equipped, you gain the ability to move freely in water. This…’

‘Radiation Reduction: When exposed to radiation, the damage is greatly reduced. This…’

‘…’

The room fell silent, broken only by the sound of Yenir’s uncontrollable swallowing.

He hadn’t finished reading the details, but just glancing over the dense explanations left his head spinning.

Honestly, even if he combined every high-grade piece from his past life, they’d probably have fewer features than this one in his hand.

“Is this damn combat uniform? Isn’t this a war fortress?!”

Instinctively lifting the lightweight gear, he found himself utterly baffled.

It’s either immunity or rule-level reduction at every turn.

If this thing went out as part of a two-piece set, someone would actually buy into that!

No one understood rule-level better than him—it’s the system’s highest rating! Every attribute is rule-level. What the hell is this gear?!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yenir scrolled down to the final equipment skill.

‘Equipment Skill: Indestructible Hell’

‘Indestructible Hell: After killing a target, imprison its soul within the combat uniform. When needed, the soul is released to block damage. The strength of this defense depends on the target’s power in life. This effect can stack indefinitely.’

‘Equipment Evaluation: One of the divine armaments revered in the Realm of Spiritual Peace. After absorbing the blood of numerous high-grade life forms, an ordinary combat uniform has become legendary.’

‘Note: Equipping this gear might provoke hostility from beings of other worlds, triggering endless chases, or earn you special treatment through reverence from other life forms.’

‘Indestructible Hell?’

‘Realm of Spiritual Peace?’

Yenir’s pupils contracted as he instantly looked down at the ring in his hand.

The skill’s special effect was even bloodier than that of the Ripper’s Bracer, and while its appearance was terrifying, he wondered how it would fare in a real fight.

Unlimited stacking defense—it alone left him deeply awestruck.

And the ‘Realm of Spiritual Peace’ on the ring? How did it match the information here?

‘Realm of Spiritual Peace? Where is that?’

‘Divine? So this combat uniform absorbed the blood of numerous high-grade life forms to become like this?’

Almost without thinking, Yenir realized that the combat uniform in his hand must have once belonged to that revered divine entity.

But…

A single, simple piece of information sparked many associations in his mind.

That unknown entity once used a combat uniform—doesn’t that imply that even in childhood, they were human? And part of a technological civilization?

Did they later become so powerful that their world revered them as divine? Even the combat uniform they once used was worshipped?

For some reason, ever since acquiring this combat uniform, Yenir kept hearing a hallucinatory wail in his ears.

It was hard to imagine how many high-grade beings the owner of this uniform must have slain…

An ordinary combat uniform turned epic…

So many mysteries.

After exhaling deeply, Yenir couldn’t extract any more information.

Clues were scarce—he only knew that he’d consecutively acquired two pieces of equipment from the Realm of Spiritual Peace. That was too much of a coincidence…

He always felt as if an invisible hand was pulling the strings…

‘Forget it, who cares about all that.’

‘Divine… A Fourth Stage shouldn’t fit that description, should it? Could there really be a Fifth Stage?’

‘Damn it, if that guy finds out I took his stuff, he’ll come after me, won’t he?’

Stroking the combat uniform in his hand, Yenir’s heart skipped a beat. After a moment’s thought, he simply equipped it.

‘Screw it!’

‘The equipment was given to me by the system, not stolen…’

Muttering under his breath, he decided not to overthink it. Debts have their payers—if that unknown entity finds out his stuff is missing, they can come find the system!

‘……….’

‘Lord Yenir, the meeting will begin in three hours. You may now proceed to the entrance.’

Outside the courtyard, several Third-Stage Awakeneds respectfully handed him an invitation, indicating that his meeting credentials were secured and a special vehicle was ready.

Standing there, Yenir nodded calmly and stepped into the vehicle.

Two days had passed since he acquired the equipment; his mood had long since settled.

According to an urgent notice from the Authorities, the opening time of the Intercontinental Instance had been moved up. After today’s meeting, he needed to head to the East China Battle Zone.

Gazing at the alert streets, Yenir took a deep breath, determination burning in his eyes.

In every sense, today’s meeting marked the beginning of his mission to thwart this disaster!

Every plan would be set in motion at that moment!
