Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 384 ---

A month later.

Ocean Governing Star River, Bright Spirit's Third Base.

"Code Orange, several unidentified life forms were "briefly." detected in 2,1 West and 11,6 East Coordinates."

"All units in the area, please enter engagement mode."

"This is not training..."

"I repeat, this is not training."

The mechanical voice echoed throughout a futuristic-looking base on a green-colored planet. The Bright Spirit's Third Base was several massive spaceships connected, creating this 0-shaped interlocked formation.

In the control room, Saiko Intelli opened the satellite views Alice(AI) had given them. She frowned and saw a group of winged beasts with weird characteristics.

The winged beasts have a chicken-like head, bull-like body, serpentine tails, and bat-like wings. They didn't detect Spirit Energy from these creatures, but they do possess strong life force.

After all, they could survive and fly in a literal vacuum space.

Even people from Douluo Planet needed special equipment, breathing techniques, and top-tiered cultivation before they could do it.

[Energy Level: Level 96, Hyper Douluo]

[Enemy's Quantity: 2,121]

[Overall Battle Prowess: Level 99, Limit Douluo]

[I recommend we use a Small Star Destroyer Cannon!] The mechanical voice echoed in the control room.

Saiko Intelli was about to agree, but someone suddenly called her. It was a unique number, the only one in the Bright Spirit Empire.

There was a line of messages sent in.

<01Y: I'll deal with it>

01Y, the unique code belonged to the ruler of Bright Spirit Empire.

Saiko Intelli wryly smiled as she commented, "Look what have you done, Melissa."

At an orbiting artificially-made moon, a silvery-red object suddenly burst out with extreme speed. Clean white energy particles left by energy wings trailed in the darkness, approaching the winged beasts.

This sight happened quite often.

[God-Grade Mecha, Series No. 01]

[Code Name: XY-6900 Valiant Freedom]

[Given Name: Slaughter Star]

Roar!

The winged beasts roared at the silvery-red object.

The object was a silvery-red mecha.

Inspired by two mechas, the ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam from the Gundam Series and the XV-7001 Luxon from the Buddy Complex, the silvery-red mecha captured the spirit of robotic humans made of steel and machinery.

The silvery red mecha, also widely recognized as XY-6900 Valiant Freedom and Slaughter Star, hovered in the darkness.

It had a height of 17 meters(55 feet) and was "thoroughly." covered by silvery-red armor. The mecha weighs slightly over 25 metric tons.

An orange-colored halo and three pairs of black mechanical wings mounted on the back of Slaughter Star, the halo was the sign of God-Grade Mecha, and the mechanical wings were [Warp Engine] with several spatial storages having endless combinations of toolboxes.

Slaughter Star has an innate mechanism, [Divine Weaponry], which allows its wielder to create any weapons with the materials inside the toolboxes.

Slaughter Star's frame is "actually." made with the strongest metals Bright Spirit Metal has discovered so far, the infamous [Silver Mithril] and [Crimson Star Dust].

Slaughter's inner body is "deliberately." planted with [Mechanical Muscles] made by twisting three different compound materials into tissue-like muscle, which means it can withstand the load of chaotic storm in the open space(theoretically a black hole) and unleash more strength.

The creator(Melissa Shield) added [Tempered Mechanical Flesh and Bones] with the same materials, allowing the rider to grasp more stability and control.

From functionality alone, Slaughter Star is no different than humans, but also not human at the same time.

The only problem of Slaughter Star is probably the massive consumption of Spirit Energy and Mental Power. No one could ride it besides Yunlong, who topped both stats.

Yunlong pulled the handle near him and communicated with his soul-bounded mecha.

Yes, Slaughter Star possesses a Mechanical Spirit. It was born due to his Divinity of Miracles. Still, the Mechanical Spirit is too young to help him.

Yunlong ejected the handle in his hand, and one of Slaughter Star's Wings erected, discharging firefly-like rockets. The fireflies orbited around the mecha and shot forward, creating several red lines in the space.

BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

ROAAAAAAAR!!

Yunlong's mecha flashed to the winged beast's crowd as three automatic energy cannons formed behind him, releasing an array of powerful energy beams.

Before the winged beasts could react, they were "already." devoured by the energy beams and perished. Leaving some charred flesh that Yunlong took for the Bright Spirit Lab's Biology Division.

[You have killed 2,121 Mutated Space Beasts]

[Beelzebub activated...]

[You have devoured Mutated Space Beasts' Souls]

[You have acquired [Resistance Body x1061] and [Space Roaming x1060] Skills]

[You have obtained too many identical skills...]

[Do you want to fuse them?]

"Yes," Yunlong answered nonchalantly. He was numb already because gaining skills was like breathing to him.

Of course, these skills could be a reference for his Nathicaru. Besides his imagination, he also needed a rich, comprehensive ability to create profound and powerful skills.

[Deducting 100,000 System Points]

[You have fused [Extreme Resistance Body] and [Space Walker] Skills]

Yunlong applied [Space Walker] into the mecha's frame. He turned off the Warped Engine mounted on the back. He glanced at the base and disappeared from the area.

Swoosh!

Bang!

Yunlong crashed against the protective barrier around the planet and slapped his forehead.

"This skill is more powerful than I thought." He traveled over several millions of kilometers in just a blink of an eye. Thanks to Melissa's bright mind, Slaughter Star didn't break into pieces because of such intensity.

He activated the Warp Engine and teleported to Hangar No. 9, parking the mecha in the garage. It sounds casual for someone who just obliterated a group of alien lifeforms.

Yunlong whistled and brought the remaining flesh of the alien lifeforms, handing them to the Biology Division.

Melissa jumped on Yunlong from the corner of the building and asked, "How was it?"

"It needs some customization and calibration again," Yunlong answered casually. "There is nothing wrong with the [Divine Weaponry], but the kickstart's effect is still pushing the whole frame back."

"So, it needs a new stabilizer?" Melissa nodded while writing something on her tablet. "Are there any more inputs you want to say?"

Yunlong chuckled and pulled Melissa's cheeks, "Let's go on a date."

"Oh, right now?" Melissa looked at her jumpsuit, which was "scarcely." tainted by oils and dust. She doesn't look aesthetic enough for a date.

Yunlong left her cheeks alone and said, "Then, I'll be waiting on Forest No. 12."

He turned around and left while waving his hand, causing Melissa to giggle helplessly.

Melissa glanced at the silvery-red mecha and nodded in satisfaction because she could create something to benefit Yunlong. Even though she promised to make Battle Armor, Yunlong has his own armor that's a million times better than any Battle Armor.

On the contrary, the mecha should fulfill Yunlong's childhood dream. Men are so easy to read.

At the Forest No. 12.

Yunlong changed his clothes into a standard Bright Spirit Army Outfit. It was a purple military outfit with a windbreaker, which he let open to reveal a casual white t-shirt.

He tied his long black hair in a ponytail, letting some strands tuck out before his face. His crimson eyes brimmed with amusement.

He looks more like a young soldier in his free time than a dignified ruler of an empire.

A sweet voice suddenly entered his ears.

"I'm here!"

"How do I look?"

Yunlong turned around and saw Melissa. She wears a white short-sleeved dress shirt with plaid cuffs, a large bow of the same design at her neck, and a dark raspberry-pink waistcoat. On top of it was a rose-colored windbreaker.

She also sported pale gray Capri pants, under which are a pair of plaid pink socks and heeled brown boots. She also wears a wristwatch and pink, oval-framed glasses.

"Refreshingly nice." Yunlong praised her.

Melissa scrunched her little nose and complained, "What's with that description."

"Humph!"

Yunlong smiled and added, "In other words, you're looking lovely."

Melissa blushed slightly, forgiving Yunlong. She grasped his hand and walked into the Forest No. 12.

"Let's go!"

This place is one of the recreational places with its own Native Spirit Beasts Species.
