In the flying aircraft, within the laboratory.
The workbench no longer held scattered parts, but instead, there was a barely pieced-together Destruction Alchemy Demon Puppet—
Or rather, it was Lynch's creation using all relatively intact components at hand, "picked from the best" amidst several wrecks, supplemented by parts he meticulously crafted. The final product was "stitched" together.
Its appearance still bore obvious signs of battle damage: the chest armor was covered in deep claw marks and seared charring, many protective plates at joints were missing, exposing the intricate internal transmission structure. One arm's end connected to a gigantic metal claw, clearly from another guardian, with a slightly different style. The entire figure exuded a fierce and stubborn aura, as if it had crawled from ruins.
