The White Heaven Fragment appeared in front of me as the light dissipated once the second factory was destroyed. Much like the previous one, it was very small, around the size of my fist, yet it contained incredible power within it. It seemed to slightly react to my own physique, though, slowly moving towards my body and seemingly wanting to fuse with it.
But I can’t let it do that; it is an important item, unfortunately.
“Sorry, but I can’t let you become part of my Physique… Ugh.” I sighed, feeling rather terrible about rejecting such a good offer; the fragment itself wanted to too! But if I want to be a nice person and help this world completely, I can’t let it do that. “Now, now, enter this Realm and rest for the moment.”
The small white cloud entered the Purgatory Portal and went to rest. The Nine Heavens of every Murim Worldline could be called living beings of their own; the Primordial Essence they carry is obviously special.
Ding!
[You have placed the [Bestia’s White Heaven Fragment (??? Rank)] x1 inside of your Purgatory Realm!]
[The Heaven Fragment is in a dormant state due to its lack of Primordial Energies.]
[Please gather Primordial Energies of similar elemental affinity to activate its powers and even regenerate its entire mass.]
I could only use the horns for one hour, though, and the time was running out for the quest, so we swiftly resumed our robot genocide. We rampaged across the caverns, with my ever-growing army of temporary Undead Robots, until we landed on the last factory.
This one had already prepared enough while the others were being destroyed. There were three layers of barriers: one blue, another green, and the third red. It looked well reinforced. The robots were also not going wild; they were all assembled into a gigantic army, most of them just waiting for us to get closer.
“They seem to have learned, but how? They weren’t there.” Fang Shuan said.
“It is as if they have become wary; they know our strengths and tactics.” Bael commented.
“It is because robots can communicate through their networks, created through their technological gadgets.” I told them. “If one robot learns something, it is quickly shared with everyone else. They rapidly evolve and adapt to the situation. And without doubt, they probably got one or two more of those Androids.”
“How do we proceed?” Agares asked. “Can those three idiots come back yet?”
“No, they’ll take a whole day to regenerate a new Manifestation.” I said. “Don’t worry, I do have a plan. For that, we’ll simply need to charge first; think later.”
“Wait, that’s your plan?!” Bael wondered.
“Hey, I am pretty strong, you know? And I got amazing equipment. We’ve fought two of those robots, but until they appear, we should simply lay waste to the robots here and break the barriers. If the factory is smart, it’ll wait until we are “tired” to send them off, like it did before.” I explained. “Also, my Specialization and my Labors can carry us to the end now.”
“Specialization?” Wondered Bael. “Wait, you got one?!”
“Yes, she did.” Nodded Agares. “That golden soldier she carries everywhere, Fang Shuan. He’s a byproduct of her Specialization.”
“I am! I am her soul-bound Holy Undead.” Fang Shuan said. “Young Master has a lot of talent and abilities, so please, stop offending her and trust her decisions.”
“It’s not like we got any sayings on all of this anyway." Agares groaned.
“Okay, let’s do this.” Bael nodded. “How do we proceed?”
“First.” I said. “Holy Undead, place your Holy Shields in front, fire your Beams of Light, and charge!”
I ordered the Undead robots to charge forward. Their mechanical souls tied to their “corpses” flared with holy light. Yes, they had something that my Specialization Ability detected as souls, giving me the ability to raise them as Undead.
I don’t know what it exactly was, but all these robots blue-colored cores had an essence inside, I don’t know if it was electromagnetic or magical, but that was something that resembled a soul, and I was able to wield it and control it to make them into Undead temporarily.
Of course, many of them have been dying, and once they fell, I was unable to raise them back to Undead again, so they were left as broken and shattered metal scrap and cables, which I still stored inside my inventory. You never have enough scrap!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions of light and thunderbolts clashed against one another. My Holy Undead had a few basic magic spells they received upon their creation; aside from the great enhancement to their physical powers, they gained three basic abilities. {Shield of Holy Nether}, {Beams of Black Light}, and {Holy Sealing Chains of Nether}.
The first was the ability to conjure a barrier of golden and black light to protect from a few hits; the second was the was the ability to create long-ranged beams of black light; and the third was the ability to create chains to stop foes from advancing or to weaken them.
And right now, they were using all the abilities available.
The robots were constantly advancing and clashing against the army of shield-bearers, only to be stopped by the walls of light and then shredded into pieces with physical blows from my physically gifted Undead.
After all, they weren’t just Holy Undead; they were Legendary Herculean Holy Undead; their physical strength was perhaps three times as much as their original selves, making them formidable foes.
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
The bodies of the enemy robots exploded into pieces and were quickly shattered by the charge of my Undead. Their positions and “strategy” barely work, if at all, against the incredible strategy known as “having higher stats than you.”.
The factory responded by sending signals to the rest of the robots we had left behind. Swarms of spider-like and ant-like robots rushed from behind and in front of the caves, hundreds, if not thousands, of them. I think these might be the last waves!
“Alright, get ready! I’m doing it!” I said, as Holy Nether Essence surged from my body.
“{Graveyard of Fallen Legends}!”
FLASH!
Our surroundings immediately changed as a wave of black and golden essence permeated the ground, creating a powerful Domain. Large quantities of Ki and Holy Nether Essence, along with a bit of Cosmic Energy to spice things up a bit, were spent.
The surroundings changed, resembling an old graveyard. All the Undead had their stats strengthened, overflowing with powerful Auras of Holy Nether Essence.
[You have activated your Specialization Ability: {Graveyard of Fallen Legends}!]
[By utilizing Ki, Mana, and Holy Nether Essence, you can summon the {Graveyard Of Fallen Legends} to unleash a Domain of 50 meters around you, which will boost All Physical Stats of your Holy Herculean Undead by 150%, Decrease their Damage Taken by 30%, and Increase their Physical Damage Dealt by 50%.]
[Fallen Holy Herculean Undead can revive once within this domain, and they can use Weapon and other Physical Skills or Techniques without incurring energy costs. Duration: 59 Minutes, 57 Seconds.]
Not only them, but my overpowered Soul-Bound Holy Undead, Fang Shuan, also received the boosts. His Ki, which was already running low, was of no problem right now, as he could use any ability without energy cost for a whole hour.
This meant business.
“I feel like I’ve been reborn! Hahaha!”
Fang Shuan leaped into the battlefield after having been guarding my back, knowing that Bael and Agares were there for me, with Shiro to heal me and Violet and Snow to my left and right, while the Primordial Yang Beast remained in front. He was without worries.
BAAAM!
His gigantic metallic body slammed the floor with enormous prowess, shattering the floor open. Enormous explosions of golden flames surged from the impact area, blasting the surrounding robots rushing towards him.
“I will now show you all how a true Murim Young Master fights! Hahaaaa!” His humble personality changed completely as he temporarily reversed to his former self, an arrogant young master. “{Martial Soul Legion}! Come out, my dear soldiers!”
FLUOSH!
Taking advantage of needing no Ki anymore, he unleashed one of his strongest Skills at full power. His Ki aura surging endlessly from his body as over a hundred golden soldiers emerged; they were the Martial Souls of all his soldiers we fought back in the Murim Abandoned Temple Dungeon.
After all, his creation wasn’t just him; I had merged all of those guys into his body, yet his soul prevailed as the strongest. But that didn’t mean they were gone; they were there for him and could be summoned through this skill.
“OOOOHH!”
They roared in unison, rushing out and unleashing all matters of Martial Techniques. Mighty Golden Spear Arts, Golden Dragon Fists, White Crane’s Kicks, and more. Their techniques were all shared with their master.
With this very Skill, the Golden Emperor, Fang Shuan, pushed back a whole wave of over a thousand robots. And that wasn’t all at all!
“RAAAH!”
He landed in the middle of the army and started clashing against all the robots at once. His spear was piercing their bodies constantly. His movements were immensely fast and precise. Each of his blows was like an explosion of golden flames.
“SHAAAH!”
The robots were enraged, and their orders quickly forced them to do something they hadn’t done before. Electromagnetic circuits appeared around their bodies, forcing them to unify into metallic and chimeric giants, their bodies bigger than Fang Shuan, as their massive metallic fists descended over his body.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Yet.
YET!
“Is that all you have?!”
His body remained almost unscathed, his size slowly growing as a golden dragon's armor grew over his own metallic body. Maybe if he were a being made of flesh, it would have been easier to kill, but he wasn’t that different from the robots in regards to his composition.
“Then it is my turn! {Golden Dragon Spear Techniques}: {Rising Heavens}!”
“ROOOARR!”
His spear shone with the brilliance of the Yellow Heavens; a mighty roar reverberated as his entire Ki Aura surged, in the shape of a ferocious golden dragon, which fused with his spear technique—a single, piercing attack that moved upwards.
BOOOM!
The impact alone released a massive piercing wave of golden light and flames. The chimeric robots in front of him were pierced and then exploded into pieces, and the rest of the robots behind, at least two hundred, all died in a similar manner, their bodies melting over the ground.
“H-He’s incredible!” Muttered Bael.
“I-I am shocked as well... So this is the power of the Murim Worldline Warriors?” Agares wondered. “We’ve never invaded such a world before! And now, I feel glad I didn’t.”
“Well, this is thanks to my specialization ability, but yeah, he’s still really incredible.” I was proud of Fang Shuan. “He was probably like a thousand times stronger than this anyway; in his world, he was almost at the same level as a Venerable, though he never achieved the pinnacle completely because of the invasion.”
According to Fang Shuan, he had reached the last cultivation stage of his world, meaning that he was only beneath his own father in terms of power. And his father was the goddamn Venerable, and probably a bit stronger than the ones from Bestia, even.
“Well, let’s not slack ourselves either!”
I didn’t have time to sit down and admire his prowess, though. With both Gram and the Nameless Axe-Sword in my hands and my equipment effects activated once more, coupled with the giant pair of golden horns protruding out of my forehead, I charged forward like a wild beast with the rest of my Familiars.
The Primordial Yang Beast opened the way, his attacks unleashing devastating explosions of Primordial Yang Ki, purifying the robots and seemingly “cleansing” them out of their own energy, leaving them weakened. Meanwhile, Agares and Bael remained by my left and right sides, using their weapon techniques and superior demon aura abilities to protect my blind spots.
And lastly, Violet, Shiro, and Snow remained closer to me. Violet becoming gigantic and crushing foes; Shiro healing us from wounds and also casting small buffs; and Snow freezing and stopping foes from getting closer.
With both of my weapons, I spun around, leaping, descending, and then spinning again, exchanging my Skills, Martial Arts, and Techniques.
Eventually, both armies of robots were almost completely annihilated, leaving the factory exposed.
Let’s finish this!
