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."
In its early stages, the Malevolent was already a sufficiently brutal weapon that left irreparable rupture wounds on the enemy's flesh. However, some of Albion's most radical weapon developers believed that physical damage at such levels was woefully lacking as a manifestation of malice this weapon was meant to embody. Their macabre argument was that to truly instill fear and agony in the Vulgus, it must go beyond inflicting fleeting injuries and force them to writhe and rot in the grip of a horrific infection in the heart of the battlefield.
The key that turned their maniacal fixation into reality lay in the Ultimate Project for Descendant Freyna. The engineering team succeeded in integrating the technology for controlling lethal toxins and catalyzing infection, which accumulated during the development of Freyna's Nightmare Dominator, into the Malevolent's warheads. This weapon, which corrodes the struck area and triggers a chain of endless agony, can be considered the very embodiment of pure malice forged by Albion's engineers.
