Reiger had considered this possibility ever since he first saw the little automaton and was reminded of Tsukiguni Yoriichi Model Zero.
As a combat automaton whose performance far exceeded that of humans, even though it ultimately did not possess the ability to match Tsukiguni Yoriichi, its combat prowess was still not to be underestimated in this world.
In the original story, Tokitou Muichirou, one of the Pillars, had trained against Tsukiguni Yoriichi Model Zero. The automaton was almost broken, yet it managed to exchange blows with him to the point where, even in defeat, it proved that its capabilities were no weaker than those outside the rank of Pillars.
And such an automaton was created by a swordsmith who possessed no extraordinary powers.
What did that mean?
It meant that, with blueprints and a certain level of technology, such automatons could potentially be mass-produced!
This was a terrifying prospect.
