Chapter 1178 New Robots
-----
Once the purchase was done, I rented all three Zero Model Machine Warriors, Red, Blue, and Yellow. They came with some automatic abilities, such as flying and moving to my commands.
However their artificial intelligence was still developing, they weren't good at fighting or whatnot without proper pilots. But that was fine anyways.
Once we were far away and back in the Inn's storage to get ready, I called Braveblitz again.
"Braveblitz, which one you want?" I asked him.
"The red!" he said happily. "I want the red, Blake! What else would I ever pick than Red?!"
"It's all yours," I nodded.
I pointed his ring to the Red Zero Model Machine Warrior, and then…
FLUOSH!
He quickly infused his consciousness into the robot, resembling a spiraling ray of green and golden light that reached and entered the machine.
A second later, it started moving slowly.
"Oooh! It is much bulkier than my real body but that's fine too!" he said. "Interesting, very interesting indeed!"
"Wait, what did you do?" Zack wondered, feeling surprised.
"I implanted the AI of one of my assistant robots," I explained. "I've done the same with these other robots."
"Wait, is that even possible?!" asked Zack.
"It is I just did it," I nodded. "Alright, I'll pilot the Yellow one… And the Blue? Hm, I suppose… Wait Braveblitz, can you control another one?"
"I think so, yes!" he nodded, quickly infusing his consciousness into the two. "I can! It's really easy because it's a game and they aren't real machines! Just data."
"Well done," I nodded. "Then we're set."
Our team of seven robots was assembled, we were a huge party, and it should be more than enough power to face any threat we could find in this Virtual Reality Matrix.
"Now, in which direction we should go?" Zack wondered. "Hmm, even reaching the ocean shouldn't be that quick, it definitely will take a few hours. We might have to do this expedition across several days."
"Don't worry, we'll get there very quickly," I said.
I quickly asked the Neutonium Mother Core about indications, as she said she knew everything and even how to get anywhere…
"Yes, I'll give you the directions through your Machine Warrior's control panel, there," she said, infusing her data and powers into the machine warrior. "This Ocean was once called Atlantic Ocean, and it separated both continents."
"I understand," I nodded.
The map showed everything we needed to know, with that said, I guided my allies through the skies, skipping most of the Mutant-infested areas within the great deserts and dry steppes.
Eventually, we made our way through the canyon we had visited before and saw the giant turtle mutants again, ignoring them as well.
We flew as quickly as we could using the machines, in a couple of minutes we had already move thousands of kilometers.
"We're going much faster than I imagined! It's as if the winds are carrying us?!" wondered Zack.
"Yes, we've picked the wind flow that leads to the Atlantic Ocean, this plus our own flying speed has allowed us to get very far very quickly!" I said.
"I honestly had no freaking idea!" Zack said.
FLAAASH!
The closer we got to the Atlantic Ocean, the colder the temperatures became. The dried desert started becoming colder and there was even less vegetation than before.
Eventually, snow started falling from the cloudy skies, and we finally met the ocean. It was blueish green of color from afar, and most of it was covered by ice, hard as stone ice.
"It seems we've arrived! S-So this is the sea?" wondered Zack, amazed.
"Incredible! There's so much ice!" said Braveblitz. "I had no idea the sea was just ice! I thought it was water?"
"It's frozen," I said. "Most of it? At least near the beach. However further away, it seems more liquid..."
"Oh wow, it sure is!" said Braveblitz. "I can see it flowing! And I can see… something big! With many… tentacles! Incredible!"
"Wait, you saw something…?!" I wondered.
"Yes, over there!" he pointed into the distance.
And there it was, a gigantic tentacled mutant… octopus or something, gigantic in size, surging from the seas and then using its long tentacles to catch flying mutants resembling giant scaled seagulls.
They screamed in agony as they were grabbed and then dragged into the watery abyss, engulfed by the monster's jaws and eaten while drowning.
"It's feeding on flying mutants!" said Zack. "We should stay away from that thing…"
RUMBLE!
However, suddenly, yet another tentacle abominations surged, this time breaking through the ice floor beneath us and spreading its tentacles all the way towards us.
Each tentacle was several hundreds of meters long, and they could stretch even more!
"Careful!"
I pushed Zack away before a giant tentacle were to grab him, it wrapped around my machine instead, pressing it tightly with giant, sharp fangs that each tentacle had.
"Ungh! Dammit!"
And then, the tentacle pulled down at lightning speed, as I saw the giant octopus monstrosity open its massive jaws, ready to devour the machine and me with it.
"Not happening!"
Before I could react, I heard Eleanora's voice as she pierced through the tentacle with her spear, releasing an explosion of crimson lightning.
CRAAASH!
The tentacle was completely cut off and I was able to rapidly pierce through the rest of the limbs wrapped around my robot, releasing several cutting strikes with a golden spear the Machine Warrior Prototype came equipped with.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
As the tentacles exploded into pieces, the monstrous entity beneath the ice screamed furiously, dozen more of these same tentacles rushing towards us.
"Screw off."
I gathered the electromagnetic energy into the spear through my neural connection to this prototype of the Machine Warrior, all my experience from before worked as intended.
And then…
[Divine Spear God Arts]: {One Hundred Lightning Blows}!
I unleashed a barrage of explosive, piercing strikes with my spear, a hundred in a single second. The response was amazing, and it felt just good enough!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
All dozens of tentacles exploded into pieces, the monstrosity screaming loudly and agonizingly.
"GRYYYAAAEERRGGHHH!"
The oceans trembled beneath, and instead of escaping, its entire body surged from the ocean's depths…
RUMBLE!
And it was… a titanic, humanoid octopus' monster.
"A Kaiju?!" Braveblitz gasped. "Blake! We must unite as one to defeat it!!!"
"Ugh…"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
