The Undying Mecha Emperor

"What two things?" I immediately asked.

"One is of course for you to steal those tech and give us the blueprints." The Ancestor said.

I nodded.

I expected as much.

"The second thing is… to destroy their military bases and mechas as much as we can!" The Ancestor said with a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

Of course, he actually meant "as much as YOU can" instead of we, since I would be the one doing all of the heavy lifting.

With my stupidly overpowered ability to destroy machines almost at will, I was a walking disaster for all military bases not protected by Darkblook Energy.

What's Darkblood Energy?

Ah yes, I apologize for not elaborating on it before. I forgot that it was classified information for a very long time.

Darkblood Energy is the name we gave to the alien energy that the Experimental Mecha Core "Clone" uses.

Hmmmm?

You do not know about the existence of Clone?

Well now you do.

This part of the story is about Clone and the massive twists and turns that we all had to experience in our attempt to get it.

And yes, Clone was the Mecha Core that powered the leader of the Horse Gavarels.

Anyway, that's a story for later.

At that moment, the three of us made the decision that would cause massive shockwaves to reverberate through the entire sea dwelling community of civilisations.

"Let's do it." I said with a nod.

"If we are to do it, then we have to do it properly." Bruce Pang said with a sigh and took out a little mecha keychain out of nowhere, and looked at the Ancestor.

The Ancestor nodded.

I looked at that keychain in mild surprise.

I had not detected it earlier, but at that moment, I sensed a monstrous amount of resonance with it!

"Could it be…" I gaped at it in wonder.

"Nanoparticles are extremely hard to manipulate." The Ancestor grunted. "But its applications are endless."

He pointed to Bruce Pang that was already covered by nanoparticles to create a powerful body suit to resist the water pressure outside.

"Creating a mecha at will like you is still very far from our reach. But creating a relatively powerful suit of armor isn't too difficult. That, and the fact that Chrono can appear anywhere almost instantly, makes Bruce Pang one of the deadliest living beings on the face of this earth." The Ancestor glanced out the window and then added. " Let him out. Chronos is here."

I was startled.

Chronos had already arrived?

"All the way from the academy?" I couldn't help but blurt out a question.

"Where else?" The Ancestor grunted in annoyance and gestured for me to quickly let Bruce out.

I quickly created a barrier in between Bruce and us, and then dissolved the covering around him.

Within seconds, he was in Chronos, and the title King of the Ocean, which was previously me, shifted to him.

Because as powerful as I was at that moment, I was but a cute little boy in the face of a seasoned warrior.

With Chronos, Bruce Pang was beyond deadly.

I didn't know if he was showing off or not, but I was completely impressed out of my mind in the next few hours.

Of course, at that moment, I had no idea that he was that good yet, and being the cocky little boy that I was…

"Ha! Big bro! That's a cool looking mecha you got there. Is it any good?" I snickered loudly through my speakers.

"Is it any good? I am not one to boast with words, little brother. Why don't you sit back, relax and open your mouth in awe as I clean up all our enemies for us?" Bruce Pang instantly shot back at me.

"Yeah? Why don't we have a little competition then to see who can do more damage to the Horse Gavarels in the next say… three hours?" I very foolishly challenged him with great confidence.

"Let's do that." Bruce Pang said very serenely. "As an elder brother, I shall give you a headstart and count all the damage you've dealt so far into our competition."

"All the damage so far? That's two thousand biomechs and a Captain! You are looking down on me, Big Bro. You will regret it! Let's go!" I frowned lightly and then fired my undersea thrusters to explode forward to charge deeper into the territory of the Horse Gavarels.

Chronos kept pace next to me very effortlessly.

We travelled quietly for the next minute or so as we quickly ate up the miles in what was probably an empty area between Horse Gavarel bases.

After a while, the Ancestor finally spoke up.

"We've reached the first major Gavarel Military Base. Be careful you two."

I glanced at him in surprise.

I had no idea how he detected the presence of the base when all my advanced radar and resonance were showing nothing.

But he was right, because mere seconds later, I detected hundreds of long range attacks converging on our position from all around us.

We had passed by Horse Gavarel fixed weapons platforms without me detecting anything!

An uneasy premonition appeared in my heart at that moment.

"Just how many unknown tech do the Horse Gavarels have implemented?" I thought glumly as I created hundreds of separate laser guns to fire at the explosive projectiles that would soon hit us.

However, before my laser guns could even finish forming, the hundreds of attacks from all around us suddenly exploded!

"I will be making my move first, little brother. Watch and learn." Bruce Pang said loudly just before he disappeared from my side.

"Ha! You watch and learn!!" I shouted back loudly. I quickly finished creating my hundred powerful laser guns, and set their firing mode to "search and destroy".

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Muffled explosions started to ring out endlessly everywhere.

I frowned as I doubled checked on my hundred laser guns.

They had not fired a single shot!
