The Undying Mecha Emperor

Once Bruce Pang and Chronos appeared, the window of time they had to accomplish their mission was completely closed for the enemy mechas, and they knew it.

And none felt the pressure more keenly than the enemy white mecha.

It began to divert all of its power to its flight system, overloading it with tremendous energy to temporarily achieve a powerful boost to its propulsion system that increased its speed by nearly a hundred percent.

In addition, it also dropped its modular heavy armor and main rifle to achieve maximum flight speed.

BOOM!!

Its powerful thrusters flung it forward at an incredible rate of acceleration.

It was no use.

The Chinese Federation were given the movement system of the alien mecha that had mysteriously dropped on earth all those years ago, and its brilliant engineers had nearly finished extracting most of the technology found within it.

Chronos was a product that had the best of what the engineers could create out of that system, and was very probably the fastest mecha on the planet.

I could sense Chronos bearing down on the escaping white mecha like an enraged bull and rapidly eating up the distance between it and the enemy mecha. Soon, both of them left the range of my resonance.

But I had no doubt what the ending of that encounter would be.

Because in addition to my big brother\'s absurdly fast mecha, I had also sabotaged the enemy white mecha\'s flight system right before it left my effective resonance range.

Its engines would soon sputter and die, and it would be savagely beaten down by Bruce Pang and his Chronos.

Good riddance to that blasted white mecha.

Nearer to me, the blue mechas hadn\'t stopped pounding on my dome.

Compared to the white mecha pilot, these grunt pilots were impressively much more dedicated to their cause. Or maybe, they were much more resigned to their fate, knowing that they lacked the tools and equipment to even dare to hope of escape.

Either way, Jeanette\'s Mecha Guardian, Void Walker, appeared on the scene witnessing fifteen mid-sized light mechas blasting away at a white dome that was battered but still very much able to resist blue mecha-level attacks with ease.

I could sense the anger and the indignance that Jeanette was feeling through the white hot energy discharge that she released from her flight system, causing her Void Walker to hurtle through the air towards us at an incredible speed.

When the blue mechas saw Void Walker appear, they turned as one to face it. Their chests began to glow blue as they began their overload sequence to self-destruct and deal as much damage as they could to their hated enemy.

Like their white mecha leader, they vastly underestimated the power of the Federation\'s mechas.

They thought that they would be able to complete their self-destruction sequence right on time, but Jeanette would have none of that. She immediately activated her skill from which her mecha\'s name was derived, Void Walk, and caused all fifteen blue mechas to shimmer lightly before disappearing from sight altogether for a few quick seconds.

"Perfect timing!" I thought as I sensed the powerful void energy enveloping the fifteen blue mechas.

Poof!

Right before they disappeared from sight, I crushed all of their mecha cores with a single thought!

"Thank you for the meal." I thought with grim satisfaction and pulled the delicious blue mecha core particles down to the ground before sucking them all into me.

When the spy satellites sent videos and images of the battle to the various powers, all they would see was Jeanette\'s Void Walker skill activating on the fifteen blue mechas. They would attribute the results to her skill as well, and I would be completely off the hook.

Boom!

Fifteen powered down mechas appeared once more as Jeanette\'s Void Walk skill expired.

"Huh?" Jeanette\'s confused voice could be heard as the fifteen blue mechas appeared intact instead of in pieces as she had expected. Their combined self-detonation would have been extremely powerful, and if allowed to detonate right there in the middle of the capital, the damage and death count would have been horrendous.

"It\'s me." I sent her a message. "I absorbed their cores before they disappeared. They are fully shut down now."

"I see. That\'s a very useful skill indeed. You timed it very well. Continue keeping a low profile in your defensive dome while we clean up this mess." Jeanette instructed.

"Understood." I replied.

And what a mess it was.

Unlike Void Walker, Chronos had no lockdown skills that could mitigate the damage done by the enemy white mecha to the surroundings. In the brief few seconds that they fought, the two white mechas destroyed an entire district and killed close to five thousand innocents.

What did they call that incident?

The Slaughter of Zhang Du District.

Ten seconds, maybe less.

That\'s all it took for the "slaughter" to finish its deadly work.

Although he did not show it outwardly, I knew the 5000 lives he failed to save weighed very heavily in my big brother\'s mind.

I could see it in the ferociousness and ruthlessness of his actions in the following days as the federation imposed martial law on the WHOLE country and began its bloody work to weed out the enemy\'s spies, agents and the families that they were able to buy out.

Yes, families.

You media people had always wondered what happened to the Lius, Lings, Wongs and the Xis, hadn\'t you?

You\'ve made so many conspiracy theories, so many tall tales, yet you still failed to gather enough balls to level the final and most logical accusation on them.

They betrayed the Federation, and were wiped out to their roots.

None of their direct lines remained. All family branches were placed under strict monitoring and had their finances confiscated.

The Federation was vicious to traitors, and it had the best soldier to execute its orders.

Chronos had been in the frontline of every raid on the family\'s estates, its guns the first to fire, its blades the first to reap the lives of the traitors.

Right behind him was his little brother, hanging out in Jeanette\'s Void Walker, having the time of his life absorbing all sorts of mechas and machines belonging to the traitors.
