Nightmare Launcher Lore Info
The Ultimate Project for the Descendants was undoubtedly a phenomenal achievement, but it was ultimately a result that relied heavily on the wisdom of the Magisters. However, the engineering team at Albion Headquarters was not satisfied with this. By reverse-engineering countless pieces of Ultimate equipment, they accumulated a vast amount of engineering data and finally succeeded in creating a new class of weaponry that completely shattered the existing standards for Ultimate Weapons. Albion Headquarters bestowed the name Transcendent Weapons upon these advanced instruments of destruction.
The core technology underlying Transcendent Weapons lies in the “Forced Collapse of the Arche Critical Point.” Drawing inspiration from the mechanism of Ultimate Equipment, which pushes each Descendant’s potential to the extreme, the engineering team succeeded in integrating a specialized power circulation system capable of transcending physical limits internally to the firearms. Miniaturizing a massive power reactor to the size of a personal firearm was considered nearly impossible, but the relentless determination of Albion’s engineers had finally broken through the limits.
“If it was the Magisters’ wisdom that led the Descendants to the Ultimate, it was the sweat and tenacity of Albion that ‘transcended’ their weapons.”
The highly advanced Corrosive Energy extraction technology, capable of melting enemy armor, was originally conceived for Keelan’s Ultimate Suit. But development on the suit stalled, so this deadly technology was integrated into a firearm, giving rise to the Transcendent Weapon known as the Nightmare Launcher.
There was initial skepticism regarding this reversal of roles, but the corrosive power emitted by the weapon completely silenced such complaints. By faithfully replicating the Corrosive Arche previously considered exclusive to Keelan in a firearm, this weapon has become a genuine nightmare on the battlefield.
