In any case, at the moment, everyone could only bury their thoughts deep in their hearts and focus on dealing with the Aragami vanguard force first.
After joining forces with the reinforcements sent by the Russian Branch, the three God Eaters of the First Unit moved to the front lines and began counterattacking alongside the Russian Branch’s own God Eaters.
Originally, Fang Li’s plan was to take advantage of the chaos during the counterattack to see if he could complete the Main Quest One and Main Quest Two.
However, now that he understood that the current attack was only from the Aragami vanguard force and the real threat still lay ahead, Fang Li wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he accepted Amamiya Rindou’s request.
“We’ll handle things here. You escort Hibari to the Russian Branch and have her contact the Far East Branch to report the situation here and see how they react.”
So, Fang Li accompanied Hibari to the Russian Branch.
This was where the advantage of having an identity.
With the identity of support personnel sent by the Far East Branch, Fang Li and Hibari encountered no obstacles entering the Russian Branch. Then, Hibari went to contact the Far East Branch while Fang Li began organizing the supplies he obtained at the Russian Branch.
Originally, the role assigned to Fang Li by the Main God’s Dimension was that of an equipment supply personnel. And for God Eaters who wanted to engage in combat, they required a considerable amount of supplies.
For example, Amamiya Rindou and Soma’s God Arcs needed materials for maintenance.
Tachibana Sakuya’s God Arc not only required maintenance but also many special bullets as the bullets used exclusively for God Arcs were not ordinary bullets. In order to defeat Aragami, all of these bullets were made using Oracle Cells as their core materials.
Moreover, God Eaters had to regularly inject Bias Factor.
Just as humans have things they like to eat and things they dislike, Oracle Cells also have some things that they need, although Oracle Cells have the ability to prey on anything, they also have biases and avoid specific substances.
Taking advantage of this characteristic, the Fenrir Corporation developed Bias Factor and implemented many solutions using this factor.
For example, the protective walls surrounding the base where humans currently reside are made of armor developed using the Bias Factor, which barely averted the crisis of human extinction.
Similarly, God Eaters can survive by injecting the Bias Factor into their bodies, which enables them to resist the erosion of Oracle Cells within their bodies. Otherwise, they would be preyed upon and killed the moment they are injected with Oracle Cells.
Even the God Arcs used by God Eaters do not prey upon their users because the users’ bodies possess Bias Factor. Otherwise, when holding these man-made Aragami-shaped weapons, they would be devoured.
Therefore, God Eaters need regular injections of the Bias Factor to avoid death.
Thus, the equipment supply personnels were responsible for preparing the specialized Bias Factor for God Eaters.
“In the end, the restrictions on the God Eater class are too great. Although the Main God’s Dimension doesn’t lack items with unique effects and finding a solution to these problems shouldn’t be impossible. However, considering that I can only switch to one class, I should think about it further here.” Fang Li silently thought in his heart.
No matter what, Fang Li’s true trump card was his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception and precisely cutting the Death Lines was a delicate task.
Weapons like the God Arc were too cumbersome, and using them to accurately cut the delicate Death Lines was far from ideal.
Furthermore, becoming a God Eater required a certain suitability for the transition.
“It seems that this class is somewhat beyond my reach.”
In one corner of the Russian Branch, as Fang Li absentmindedly organized the boxes in front of him, filling them one by one with supply items, he deeply pondered the matters closely related to himself.
Until a voice rang out.
“Hey, hope I’m not disturbing you?”
With the sound of that voice, Amamiya Rindou greeted Fang Li while walking over.
“Captain Amamiya?” Fang Li was slightly taken aback and then asked, “Is the operation over?”
“After the God Eater forces from the Russian Branch joined in, there was no suspense in the mission for subjugation. After all, they were just the vanguard force,” Amamiya Rindou sat on a nearby crate, lit a cigarette, and leisurely took a puff before he spoke.
It had to be said that even in the eyes of Fang Li, who was also a man, Amamiya Rindou was a very handsome man.
Not only was he exceptionally good-looking, but his demeanor, although somewhat carefree, also had an indescribable air of freedom and casualness, easily making people feel close to him. Presumably, a man like him would be popular with girls wherever he went, right?
“How about it?” Amamiya Rindou handed the cigarette box to Fang Li and said, “Want one?”
“No, I don’t smoke.” Fang Li shook his head and sighed, “Besides, soldiers are not allowed to smoke casually in the workplace, right?”
“You did say it’s a workplace, right now… Oh, right, I forgot you’re still working.” Amamiya Rindou scratched his head, sounding somewhat annoyed, and said, “Really, Soma doesn’t smoke, and you don’t smoke either. Why are all my work partners such boring guys?”
“Men aren’t just about cigarettes, there’s also alcohol and women, you know.” Fang Li replied casually, “If you brought alcohol or simply brought a girl with you to date me, maybe I would accept.”
“Drinking alcohol and going on a date at a time like this would be more of a problem than smoking, wouldn’t it?” Amamiya Rindou instinctively retorted, but shortly afterward, he laughed. “You truly are an interesting guy. Why haven’t I heard about you before?”
Hearing this, Fang Li’s hand, which was preparing supply items, paused slightly, and he chuckled, “Are you trying to test me?”
“Don’t put it that way, I’m just curious about your incredible skills.” Amamiya Rindou glanced at Fang Li and said, “Ordinary soldiers, no, I should say ordinary God Eaters probably don’t have the level of skill you possess. There’s no reason for me to not be curious, right?”
“But if you don’t have that level of skill, what’s the point of fighting against Aragami?” Fang Li turned his head and looked at Amamiya Rindou as he spoke with an indifferent expression on his face.
“This time, the reason I came here is to defeat the Aragami.”
The movement of Amamiya Rindou’s smoking suddenly came to a halt and the atmosphere between the two sides also became somewhat quiet.
Fang Li and Amamiya Rindou continued their respective tasks of preparing supply items and sitting on the crate smoking, no longer speaking.
It wasn’t until a long time later that Amamiya Rindou flicked away the cigarette butt, stepped on it, exhaled a thick smoke, and suddenly spoke.
“Do you know Aphrodite?”
