The Third Variant

The sudden twist in the competition rules didn't just catch the five mecha teams off guard—it sent shockwaves through the audience watching the live stream.

@StolenHeartOfGold: "Wait, what? Did the organizers just pull a fast one? Why are mecha pilots suddenly playing virus detectives?"

@BunnyGriller: "This makes zero sense. It's like asking chefs to put out fires. What's the connection here?"

@MatchstickGirl: "Is no one thinking about the Fallen Beasts? If they actually find a cure, doesn't that mean those who died were wrongfully treated?"

@SilentSeer: "Good point. Let's all take a moment to reflect on the Fallen Beasts that were wiped out."

@LoveBlind: "Now that you bring it up, could this explain why the Alliance mecha team suddenly stopped killing the Fallen Beasts? If that's true, then maybe the origins of these creatures need a closer look."
