Storm Cage 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.”
This is the monumental first Transcendent Weapon that opened a new chapter in Albion’s weapons development history. This weapon was born from a bold attempt to integrate the engineering know-how accumulated from the Ultimate Project for the Descendants into the Thunder Cage. By applying a prototype of Transcendent Technology that forcibly breaks physical limits, the engineering team achieved the miracle of perfectly trapping within the firearm ferocious electrical energy that far surpasses that of the original Thunder Cage.
This successful first step laid a solid technological foundation and instilled boundless confidence in Albion’s weapon developers, who had previously hesitated in the face of the unknown. It was more than just a milestone in firearms advancement. It served as a beacon for the many Ultimate Firearms that would later break into the realm of Transcendence.
