Akainu: Hmph. What a coward. You're afraid just because you got some overwhelming power? Don't make me laugh. If you were that scared, you shouldn't have had the power to become a giant in the first place!
Daigo: That's not the same! I didn't choose this… And this power is on a totally different scale.
Thanos: Power exists to be used. Acting all hesitant like you are is a waste. If I had such universe-level power, I'd do great things with it!
Hokuto: Hey now, don't talk like Daigo's unworthy! He's the better choice. Only those who fear power won't recklessly use it and bring disaster!
Bruce Wayne: I agree. If you're not afraid of unknown power and go throwing it around, you're guaranteed to cause a catastrophe eventually.
Rhadamanthys: Hmph. Hesitation only drags you down. If you're strong enough, any power will submit to you.
Aiakos: This is why humans are weak and troublesome.
Minos: Disgusting attitude...
Tony Stark: Relax, it's natural to be afraid of new power at first. You'll get used to it in time. What you should do is research it—not run from it.
Daigo: I know… It's just, it's going to be in Dyna's body no matter what. I can't run even if I wanted to. I'll study it more when I get the chance.
After chatting a bit with the others, Daigo received a call from Captain Rena.
He activated the communicator and saw Rena's concerned face.
Rena: Daigo, why are you just now answering?
Daigo: Sorry. I couldn't respond earlier because of a monster situation.
Rena: I'm glad you're okay. But—where are you right now?
Daigo: I stumbled upon some kind of ruins. There's a giant stone statue here.
Rena: WHAT?! A giant statue?!
Rena's expression changed drastically at Daigo's words.
The rest of the Super GUTS team crowded around to see the screen too.
Daigo then pointed his communicator's camera toward the stone statue.
Everyone on the team was visibly shocked.
They never expected to find another giant statue besides Dyna.
"Stay where you are, Daigo! We're coming right away!"
Rena ended the call immediately after speaking.
Daigo put away the communicator and looked back at the statue before him, feeling conflicted.
[Now initiating prediction for the next containment object—
Lovecraft Pendant]**
Suddenly, the screen's voice announced a new object.
A photo appeared on-screen, showing an unusual pendant.
Nami: Huh? That pendant actually looks pretty nice. How's that a containment object?
Natasha Romanoff: Never underestimate something just because it looks pretty. There could be something strange about it.
Tsunade: You can tell just by looking at it—it's bad news.
[The Lovecraft Pendant is a small, ornate silver-polished locket. Its elegant design seems purely decorative, but the reason behind it remains unknown. Its widest point is about 3 cm in diameter.]
[This pendant was not made by the Foundation but was crafted by using two other containment objects: the Panacea and the Universal Converter.]
[The Panacea is a miraculous medicine capable of curing any disease—even the most virulent poisons. Any known human illness, and even some anomalous effects caused by other containment objects, can be cured by taking just one dose.]
This revelation surprised many.
Chopper: WHAT?! Is this for real?! A medicine that cures everything? That's the ultimate dream!
Tsunade: Unbelievable… If something like this truly existed, there'd be no more suffering from disease.
Tony Stark: Something that cures everything? I wonder if it could've cured my palladium poisoning back then. I have to study this—this could revolutionize medicine forever!
Bruce Wayne: True… But there'd also be major issues. It could put most doctors out of work. Entire industries would collapse.
Tony Stark: Yeah… That'd definitely be a problem. And pharmaceutical companies would never let this hit the market. Their profits would be destroyed.
Chopper: Huh?! Really!?
Tony Stark: Of course! How else would they make money?
Chopper: I don't care about any of that! If this medicine really exists, I will find a way to develop it!
Franky: Chopper, I'm backing you up! Something this powerful—I want in on the research too!
Tsunade: You're all dreaming. None of this even exists in your worlds anyway.
Dorami: In our world, there is similar medical tech, though it can't cure absolutely everything. As tech advances, so do new, unprecedented diseases.
As the discussion grew lively, the screen continued.
[As for the second object involved, the Universal Converter is a very unique processing machine. It can refine any non-living material into a completely novel artifact. It can create materials with special effects, objects impossible by human science—even powerful weapon-grade materials used by the Foundation.]
[The Lovecraft Pendant was created by placing the Panacea inside the Universal Converter.]
This explanation left many surprised.
Tony Stark: You're telling me this machine can create absurdly powerful materials and refine anything into high-grade artifacts?! Why isn't this getting more attention?! I need this for research—it would revolutionize materials science!
Bruce Banner: But don't you already have the Void Engine? You can synthesize materials out of thin air.
Tony Stark: Sure, but you don't get it. I'm a scientist. I love weird tech. And if I want to mass-produce anything, I need machines. I can't manually build everything myself—that'd kill me!
Bruce Wayne: I'm intrigued too. This could have enormous potential for advancing human technology. But... chances are we won't get our hands on it.
Dorami: I wonder if it can process 22nd-century materials? What would it produce from those?
Sengoku: I bet Vegapunk would love something like this.
Orochimaru: Interesting… I wonder if I could use it for virus research?
Sisyphus: Wait—am I the only one who noticed something weird here? You're telling me this machine took a medicine… and turned it into a pendant? That makes no sense!
Everyone paused at Sisyphus's comment.
Right—how do you go from a drug to a necklace?!
