I would be seriously pissed if I got taken out while I'm busy eating nachos.
There was a moment of silence, long enough to make a cold sweat break out across my back.
Don't tell me the system really had no way to protect my original body.
[Host, Defense Mode will automatically activate. Your original body will release an energy barrier to protect itself until the damage threshold is breached. You will also receive an immediate warning.]
"Well, that's reassuring." I let out a quiet sigh of relief.
It wasn't complete immunity, but it was far better than having nothing at all.
While I was thinking about what other questions to ask, something else came to mind—my Aegis armor.
I tried activating it, and it worked—at least in terms of appearance. Still, I asked the system if it was the real deal.
[Affirmative.]
That answer only raised more questions.
