The Undying Mecha Emperor

"Go go go!!!" I yelled at G-Drake.

Kabooommm!!!!

G-Drake did not hold back on his strength, and immediately sent us hurtling through the ocean at a couple hundred kilometers per hour within the first second, and all the way to four hundred within the fifth second.

RUMBLE!! RUMBLE!!

The rumbling of the ocean bed beneath us continued to rise in intensity.

Just as we were about to break out of the three kilometer radius of the giant clam, the water all around us that was previously filled with life suddenly turned dark and a sharp suction force appeared out of nowhere.

"Gahhhh!!!!" I gasped in horror as a fearsome sensation of my life force being forcefully sucked out of my smashed into me like a speeding container truck filled with rocks.

Grahhhhh!

G-Drake gave out a similar groan of weakness and shock as he started to lose consciousness in an instant.

Thankfully, we were at the very edge of of the three kilometer range of the machine, and we did not stay within the fearsome life suction for more than a split second.

G-Drake's powerful thrusters brought us rapidly out of the range of the suction force and we rapidly regained our energy.

"What in the world was that?" I gasped in bewilderment.

"What a strange feeling of weakness. I wonder what caused it." Bruce Pang said in a relatively unperturbed voice.

I glanced at him strangely.

"Strange feeling of weakness? What the hell? I thought I was about to die right then!" I shouted at him.

"Hmmm. And G-Drake seemed to be very much impacted too. I think he even blacked out for a moment there. If that's the case, the stronger the life form, the greater the effect." Bruce Pang rapidly drew a conclusion out of the situation.

As one, we turned our heads at the little girl, and got the biggest shock of our lives.

Even though she was only exposed to the suction force for the briefest of moments, her previously beautiful golden hair had turned completely white, and her unblemished skin had turned very wrinkly like an old woman's!!

"HOLY SMOKES!!" I shouted in horror.

Without hesitation, Bruce Pang drew his pocket knife and slashed his arm!

In case you're wondering, Bruce Pang was a human being who had consumed various treasures, and had extremely strong vitality. He had also consumed several treasures from the Circle Trove earlier, so his blood was extremely nutritious and had a slight healing power.

He wanted to help the girl at all costs!

However, even before the first drop of blood hit the girl's mouth, her white hair started to glow golden once more, and right in front of our shocked eyes, the wrinkles on her face started to disappear at a rapid pace.

Within a single second, right as the first drop of Bruce Pang's blood touched her lips, the little girl was fully healed!!

"Whaat?" I muttered in surprise.

That week was an incredible week indeed, chock full of surprises that I would never in my wildest dreams be able to guess that I would experience.

But even in an insane week, that moment had to be the craziest.

That, and the following next few minutes, of course.

Bruce Pang's little trickle of blood touched her lips, and slowly made their way into her mouth.

For some reason, even with all of the incredible treasures my big bro had consumed and the wondrous effect they had on him, his blood still felt like something dirty compared to the pure life aura that the little girl was giving out.

However, instead of choking on the blood or even spitting it out, the little girl actually gulped down and swallowed them!

Her tongue darted out and licked her lips clean of my big bro's blood.

Due to his powerful life force, he had an incredible rate of regeneration, and the wound he made on his arm was not able to release much blood before it scabbed and started to heal.

As such, only around ten drops of blood managed to make their way into the girl's body.

But apparently, it was enough to trigger the bonding.

A red glow suddenly appeared around the girl and my big bro before winking out almost immediately.

My lips twitched slightly as I held back a loud exclamation of shock.

"What in the world was happening?" I asked myself and glanced at my big bro who has a similarly confused look on his face.

But apart from confusion, there was also a touch of tenderness in his eyes as he looked at the little girl.

Which, of course, made me even more confused.

And then her beautiful eyelashes started to flutter as she slowly woke up from whatever caused her to be unconscious before.

She opened her eyes to reveal the most searingly beautiful pair of eyes I had ever seen. Somehow, she managed to look innocent, naive, adorable, powerful, confident and wise all at the same time.

And then came the biggest surprise of the week. And probably of my life, for that matter. Well, one of the biggest of my life. There were a few after that could rival it.

The girl opened her mouth and said in the sweetest voice you could imagine a single world that completely turned my world upside down.

"Daddy!"

"WHAT THE HELL? I AM NOT YOUR DADDY!!" I shouted with all of my heart.

"Hell no, I don't even know how the hell babies are made in the first place!!" I remember thinking incredulously.

The little girl giggled cutely at my shout and immediately caused my shock to melt away like snow in the rising of the bright morning sun.

"Not you, silly!" She said to me while smiling her perfect angelic smile. And then she pointed at my big bro.

"That's my daddy!"

It was Bruce Pang's turn to be shocked. But of course he took it much better than me. Instead of shouting at the girl for her incredulous claim, he fainted.
