The Undying Mecha Emperor

The blue armor on me shimmered lightly and was replaced by a set of sleek black armor with beautiful red trim. The upgraded red mecha core allowed me to simply replace my current suit with whatever I wanted without having to retract the old one first.

Convenient.

Plus, my new mecha suit definitely looked much better in appearance. I am sure you are familiar with that suit's design. I used it for quite some time and accomplished many things with it. Of course, from your point of view, they wouldn't be 'accomplishments'. They were probably 'disasters' or 'fiascos'. If I remember correctly, you even called it the Mecha Cataclysm.

The Jimbaran Fire. The Highland Defense. The Pacemaker Loophole.

All of them featured The Mecha Emperor with that design.

That moment could technically be the birth of The Mecha Emperor since the title was acquired using that particular mecha design. Although the mecha components and strengths vary as I continued to increase in power relentlessly, I kept that design for a pretty long time.

But of course, at that moment, appearance was the last thing on my mind.

A deeply powerful sensation suffused throughout my body as I familiarized myself with my new mecha suit.

I clenched my fist and gave a quick one-two punch.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!! BOOM!!

I moved so fast that a mini sonic boom appeared!!

"Amazing!" I exclaimed.

I quickly created energy pathways down my arm and onto my hands, creating a hand cannon that could fire off powerful energy beams like a famous cartoon character I used to know. Metal man or something.

However, instead of using my hands and feet as thrusters, I decided that I would rather have a backpack module that allowed me to fly. It allows me to maintain flight stability while I do all kinds of things with my limbs.

"Making your hands and feet thrusters is a pretty bad idea." I thought to myself as the flying module came to be behind me. "I wonder how he even got things done while flying."

I powered up my hand cannons.

HUM!!

"Hey, you're not thinking of firing that, are you?" Emma asked in surprise.

"Uhh, I am thinking of test firing it. Why?" I asked in slight irritation.

"You shouldn't. Why announce your presence with a pointless test firing of a hand cannon? We need to keep ourselves hidden while we study the situation later. The best strategy would be to attack the faction that is winning the battle so that the situation continues to be chaotic. We need to -"

PEW!!!

A fearsome energy beam erupted from my right hand and obliterated all the trees and plants in front of me. The beam continued to rip through everything as it shot ahead with devastating power.

"You…" Emma gritted her teeth angrily. "You're such a little boy!"

I smirked lightly. "Take that, you control freak!" I thought. "What's wrong with test firing my new weapon? I need to know exactly how powerful it is so that I can be more effective in battle." I said with a smile.

"You-" Emma began. But before she could say much of anything...

BOOMM!!!

A massive explosion resounded in the distance ahead of us.

"Uh oh." I thought to myself.

"The energy beam must have hit something that could explode." I said to Emma sheepishly.

But it was not the end. Before Emma could respond…

BOOOM!!!!!

BOOM!!!!!

Two more explosions could be heard resounding in quick succession.

"Make that three things?" I gave Emma a foolish grin.

Emma merely sighed.

"Alright alright. No more fooling around. I'll be serious from now on." I said seriously and straightened up.

"Too late." Emma said quietly. "I think you've attracted a lot of unwanted attention."

As usual, she was right.

Amelia Dragonos may be many things, but coward was definitely not one of them. Her response to my 'attack' was swift and absolutely brutal. Of course 'swift and brutal' was in the context of a person without a red mecha core that could devour anything and everything mechanical like me.

In my case, her 'swift and brutal' response became 'swift and generous' instead.

My 'attack' apparently had destroyed a blue mecha and two large tanks. She had immediately identified me as the biggest threat, and very possibly the military's trump card. And so, she deployed her trump card as well.

The White Mecha.

BAMMM!!!

A massive and powerful energy beam burst out of the trees ahead and smashed into me, taking me by complete surprise.

I flew backwards with great force and smashed into several large trees before finally stopping.

If not for my enhanced mecha armor, Emma and I would have died right there and then. But thankfully, I had the new and enhanced mecha suit on me, and it resisted the exploratory attack by the white mecha very well.

Apart from being shocked to the bone by the sudden attack and slightly bruised from the impact, Emma and I were totally fine.

"Damn it!" I cursed loudly. "Emma, are you alright?" I asked her anxiously.

"I-I am fine. I think." Emma said shakily. She was so shocked that she didn't even have time to cry out.

I quickly got up and dashed ahead furiously while firing several of my own energy beams ahead, in the direction from whence the massive energy beam from the white mecha came from.

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

Four red streaks of energy burst forth from my hands and sped towards the white mecha which had finally shown itself.

"Take that!" I shouted while running as fast as I could.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.

My footsteps pounded the ground rhythmically and rapidly. I needed to close the distance between the white mecha and me so that I could quickly absorb it.

Screw strategies. Screw stealth. Screw tactics. I am going to absorb that white mecha and wreak complete havoc! I am going to go crazy!!

Ahead of me, the white mecha was slowly rising up to its full height at a full hundred meters tall.

It towered over everything.

Blue mechas, watch towers, buildings, everything seemed tiny before it.

"Oh my God." Emma exclaimed in shock. "That is a white mecha??"

The four energy beams which I had fired off angrily earlier smashed onto the white mecha like four tiny red ants attacking a little kid.

However, it struck the white mecha with surprising power.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!! BOOM!!
