Chapter 186 Chronos!

My mind whirred at high speeds at Bruce Pang's words.

"If I can devour a golden mecha, manifest one and then clone it endlessly…"

"Let's call this experimental mecha core "Clone." Demoness Wang said. "And this clone is resistant to Justin's Devour. So that means our only method of destroying the current wielder is by traditional means. We need to fight through all of its armies and clones to get to the wielder."

At that, the Demoness turned to look at the Ancestor straight into his eyes.

The Ancestor merely nodded.

"I will make my move if these two punks fail to breakthrough. One has Devour, an experimental that is no less, if not more powerful than clone. And the other is Bruce Freaking Pang. They probably don't need me."

"They probably don't. But it doesn't hurt to prepare for the worst case scenario. As you know, you're not young anymore and you need time to prepare." The Demoness said rather gently.

"Ha! Is that concern I sense from you?" The Ancestor barked out a laugh.

"Of course it is concern." The Demoness said sweetly and caused the Ancestor to flinch slightly.

He had learnt to look beyond the sweetness of the Demoness' demeanor and expect a bladed verbal outburst.

"It's be really sad for me if you go to battle without ample preparation and die halfway through the battle. The enemy will retain its control over Clone AND gain control over Devour AND your dead body which contains a host of national treasures. My heart can't bear the loss of so many valuable… things!" The Demoness said with an innocent smile.

Bruce Pang frowned.

Although he was glad his name had been left out of her words, he was also feeling indignant that he wasn't important enough to be mentioned by her!

It was a complicated feeling.

"Anyway. The parameters of your mission are hereby expanded. By all means and at all costs… Capture the experimental mecha core 'Clone'. Acknowledge." The Demoness said.

"Acknowledged." Bruce Pang replied.

The cockpit then fell into a calm silence for the next few minutes as I continued to absorb the entire military base without ceasing.

As the final bit of energy returned to me, I could not help but let out a satisfied sigh.

"That was good. I think very soon, I would be able to manifest a mecha that is at the very peak of the white mecha power scale. I just need a few days to quietly draw out technological principles and combine them into the current white mecha design I have." I said with a confident tone.

Bruce Pang merely snickered and said nothing.

"If you can defeat Bruce Pang in Chronos BEFORE you devour Deathscythe, I will give you all of my Platinum Designs for free." The Ancestor said seriously.

"Ha! You're the one who said it! Don't bail out when I actually defeat him!" I shouted at the old man excitedly.

"I don't "bail out" of my words." The Ancestor said serenely.

"Alright! Let's go and find the next major military base then! I will absorb everything the Gavarels has to offer and then smack my big bro senseless in a glorious battle!" I laughed and powered my mecha explosively forward.

Bruce Pang kept pace easily and together, we ventured ever deeper into the ocean.

"There." The Ancestor pointed somewhere to my right. "Proceed that way for five kilometers. Prepare for battle."

I obeyed and did as he was told. At the same time, I also cast my resonance out on him once more, slowly and carefully.

"Nothing? He has no gadgets on him? What on earth is he using to detect the enemy at such great distances?" I wondered privately.

"The competition is still on, little brother. I think the score is roughly even now. You need to unleash all your strength if you want to at least make me sweat for my victory." Bruce Pang said easily.

"Or I can just sit back, relax and watch you finish all your energy first and then clean up the rest of the battlefields once you're an unmoving, energyless chunk of metal." I retorted back with a grin.

"Hahaha! I was just trying out the new time dilators just now. I have far less energy consuming methods of mass destruction at hand if the enemy is only at this standard." Bruce Pang said. "Don't say that I didn't warn you!"

"Okay. In that case… See ya!" I shouted before manifesting ten massive thrusters behind me and firing them at full power!

Boom!!!

I shot forward with exhilarating speed and left Chronos far behind!

Or so, I thought.

"Haha! Sneaky little bastard! But good! Let's go!" Bruce Pang shouted with glee as he appeared next to me a second later, before shooting ahead of me with greater speed than I could ever imagine possible!

"Chronos is the fastest mecha in the Federation, with or without time dilators." The Ancestor chuckled at me.

"Not for long." I scowled and unleashed even more thrusters. I did not hold back, and somehow fitted a hundred more thrusters connected to an eight-armed star shaped platform behind me!

KABOOOM!!!!!

Once again, I leapt forward at an insane speed and quickly ate up the miles that lay ahead between the military base and me.

I reached the base after thirty seconds which felt like an eternity!

And as soon as I got there, I was once again astounded by Chronos and my big bro's stupidly high efficiency.

"What the hell? Did he really not use his time dilators?" I shouted loudly at the Ancestor with my eyes opened wide with shock.

"Of course not. You should be able to measure his energy level more accurately than me. It's holding steady at forty two percent." The Ancestor smiled smugly at me.

"Then how the hell did he manage to do so much damage in such a short amount of time?!" I shouted again in disbelief.

The Ancestor merely smiled at me mysteriously.
