Kai turned his attention toward the black mechanical figure and couldn't help but remember the massive upgrade Atom had undergone in the past.
After absorbing fifty Aetherium Ores, Atom had evolved from an A-Grade Sentinel into an S-Grade Sentinel. His durability had increased tremendously, his barrier generation had become far more efficient, and his operating duration had been greatly extended. He had also gained several new functions, including an Adaptive Energy Shield, a Self-Repair Protocol, and an Overdrive Mode that could temporarily increase his combat output by 200% when Spirit Energy was channeled into his core.
The Aetherium had even changed his appearance.
Atom's previous metallic body had been replaced by a much darker black surface that almost seemed to absorb the surrounding light.
However, there was still something that hadn't changed.
Atom couldn't speak.
