Chapter 1104: Tide 2
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Baylon wiped the cold beads of sweat off her forehead. At that moment, she felt as though she might get hit by the four-armed giant.
Meanwhile, White Winter was so scared that he rolled himself into a ball. Never mind controlling the mech, he could barely even open his eyes to look. All he did was sit in the c.o.c.kpit motionlessly.
“What did the giant say just now?” Clint asked after recovering from the shock.
“I don’t know. No one understood the void creatures’ language,” Red Moon replied helplessly. “As a matter of fact, living things, like void creatures, are considered wild animals in the universe, just like the wild lion and tigers that you see on your planet. There are some which belong in a protected animal category, and some in a fixed resource category. There are many types of void creatures.”
“There are even reserved void creatures?!” Clint was speechless. To think that the monster, which could destroy a Planet with a slap, needed protection.
“There are in danger, and you should know why,” Red Moon answered casually. “It is normal for the four-armed giant to be as huge as a planet. It is also normal that they are protected since they are very scarce in number.”
Suddenly he noticed something wrong.
Huh?
Red Moon realized that the beam of light was starting to vibrate.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
“No… I can’t be that unlucky, right…?”
“What happened?” Clint asked worriedly.
“There can’t be another giant, right…?” Baylon’s heart could not take it anymore.
“No… It might be something even worse than that giant…” Red Moon said dryly.
Before he could even finish his sentence, a rainbow-like light ripple suddenly hit them on their side.
Buzz!
The three of them felt extremely dizzy. They could feel the world spin as they sat inside the mech; they fainted almost instantly.
“The tide of energy! d.a.m.n it!” Red Moon’s final roar surged a small spark among the rainbow light before he disappeared.
*********************
On a distant star from the Negative s.p.a.ce.
A huge mech with golden armor quietly watched the red mech being swallowed by the rainbow tide.
“How can Red King, who is merely a low-cla.s.s Regent Level, compare to your Highness? He’s standing on the wheel of fate,” The golden mech’s eyes which resembled emerald gemstones emitted a faint green fluorescent.
“I really don’t know why the King wants to keep him alive. Isn’t it better to just kill him?”
“Kill him?” Countless flaming stars and substances started tumbling behind the mech. A huge woman’s face, which was about a few kilometers wide, was formed by combining magma and high-temperature gas.
“Fate is a tough nut to crack. Do you think that the Lord hasn’t thought about it? Strangely, whenever the Red King appears, the Lord would lose all intentions of killing for no reason at all. No matter what choices you make, destiny will always make some kind of arrangement. Even if you killed the Red King, there might be some other King hidden somewhere else.”
The huge face behind the mech said slowly.
“Instead of killing him and letting the what is known become an unknown, isn’t it better to keep monitoring him?” The golden mech was thinking about something. “As expected of a King. The Lord’s bold vision is not something that we can compare ourselves to. We would definitely just kill all of our enemies.”
“He could even treat his enemy righteously and fairly. The reason why we are willing to follow him is precisely that of his generosity,” The flaming face said straightly.
“That’s right,” The golden mech nodded.
“Fate is fair, some people are destined to not die. Meanwhile, some people are destined to die in some place. It requires a great price to make any changes because that will change the general thread of events…” The flaming face said lightly.
“My Lord is the way,” The golden mech said calmly.

Mother Planet
Bang!
One of the eyeb.a.l.l.s of the Seventh Divine Wind General, who was under Garen’s control, suddenly exploded, turning into something gooey on the floor.
“Ah!” The Divine Wind General cried and screamed, “Kill me!”
“Did it fail again?” Garen withdrew his hand reluctantly. “This is the fifth time already. You’re really lucky that your brain hasn’t become an idiotic mess.”
“Just… Kill me… I!” The Seventh Divine Wind General was covered in blood. His body was so swollen that he no longer resembled a human. He was tortured so badly that foul pus was flowing out of some parts of his body.
“This is the last time,” Garen made up a new plan. “This is really the last time.” He felt himself getting impatient with the modifications toward other foreign beings. When he was in the Totem World, was it not very easy to modify himself? Why was it so difficult to retrieve his memory fluctuations this time?
He could easily solve his own fine body structure, but as for other living beings…
At the end of the day, he placed his hands on the Seventh Divine Wind General’s head and transferred an indescribable fluctuation into his head. Ice Dragon got terribly nervous watching them from aside. He had already stood sufficiently far away, yet he could still hear the painful screams of the Seventh Divine Wind General.
In a short while, Garen opened his eyes.
Bang!
The Seventh Divine Wind General’s other eye exploded.
“Master, I caught the people you asked for,” Turing’s voice traveled through Garen’s mind.
“Bring them in,” Garen’s voice transmitted back to Turing.
“Yes.”
Soon, three people walked into the bas.e.m.e.nt. To be exact, a two-headed werewolf strode down the bas.e.m.e.nt as it carried two people in his arms.
Ice Dragon was familiar with the faces of the two of them.
They were Fila and Remington.
Remington was on the verge of dying. When he saw the Seventh Divine Wind General nailed onto the wall of the bas.e.m.e.nt, his eyes widened instantly, as if his socket was about to tear apart.
“Father… no… no!” He struggled to break free from Turing’s arm.
Garen signaled Turing to release him.
Bang.
Remington immediately rushed over and hugged the legs of the Seventh Divine Wind General.
“Father! How is it possible!” His tears fell and his hands trembled. He gently stroked the swelling wounds of the Divine Wind General.
“Is it Remington?” The Seventh Divine Wind General asked weakly.
“Yes! It’s me!” Remington answered loudly.
He suddenly recalled something. He immediately turned around and kneeled at Garen.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!!
He continuously knocked his head on the ground towards Garen.
“Please! I beg you, please spare my father! Please!” He pleaded while he cried. His forehead started bleeding, and the wounds in his flesh could be seen.
“No!” The Seventh Divine Wind General struggled loudly. “Don’t beg him! Stop begging him!” He tried to grab his son by lifting his hands. However, his was too weak and was unable to do it.
“I’ll stand still… even if I have to die!” He shouted with all the strength that was left in him.
Remington did not stop. He continued to knock his head on the ground, facing Garen.
Garen ignored Remington and looked toward Fila, who had a gloomy look on his face.
“Long time no see, Fila,” He greeted him like an old friend.
“Indeed, it has been a long time,” Fila was very calm; it was probably because he realized that he was bound to die. Hence, he accepted everything and overcame his fear.
“Previously, you used to pick on me and wanted me dead. I have always remembered that time at the hospital,” Garen smiled. “Now I’m here to return the favor.”
“I’m willing to accept anything. It’s just death, isn’t it?” Fila smiled faintly.
“If you kneel down and plea like him, I might consider giving you a chance,” Garen laughed while gently stroking his chin.
“Is it possible?” Fila smiled lightly. “I know experts like you have a very big ego. You held grudges from the way I treated you. If you don’t kill me, will you ever be satisfied?”
“You know me so well!” Garen was slightly surprised.
“No matter what I do, I’ll still die in the end. So, why not just die with a free heart?” Fila was oddly calm.
“Unfortunately, you are not that talented. Otherwise, you might be able to develop into a higher level,” Garen shook his head. He reached out his hand slowly and placed his index finger gently between Fila’s eyebrows.
He was unable to read the memory of an Inherited Level expert, but it should not be that difficult for a Resonance Level.
Sss…
Numerous streams of information frantically swarmed into his mind under the arrangement of the Energy Machinist Imprint.
From the time Fila was born all the way until he became an adult, every battle, how he constantly grew stronger… Fila’s whole life flashed through Garen’s eyes like a movie.
Suddenly, he seemed like he saw something strange.
“Uncle, uncle! Did you bring something delicious for us today?”
A group of children was surrounding Fila at the orphanage. Each of their tiny faces was filled with happy smiles.
“There are gem candies and synthetic sausages, everyone has one~ Slow down!” Fila had a gentle smile on his face that Garen had never seen before as he distributed the candies and food to the orphans.
“If you all still want candies next time, you will need to pa.s.s the teacher’s exam. Do you understand!” It was as though Fila was a different person as he warned the orphans.
“Yes!” The children answered together loudly.
As the scenes continued to flash through, Garen saw Fila going to one orphanage after the other without anyone noticing. Initially, Fila openly went to fund the establishments of war orphanages. However, later on, he had to wear a face mask before visiting the orphanage for various reasons.
Gradually, the number of people who knew that he funded orphans had gotten lesser and he became more secretive.
In the peoples’ eyes, he was a sinister, domineering and high-ranking genius of the Blackboard Region. However, when no one was watching, he secretly used a large sum of money to fund the orphans who had lost their families during the war.
Garen withdrew his hands and looked at Fila with a complicated look. At that point, he became a little sluggish from having his memory forcibly retrieved; saliva flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
“Humanity is really complicated…” Garen could not help but feel lamented.
“Didn’t master say that there are yin and yang in people? Everyone will naturally seek a balance between their mind and body. It’s inevitable.” Turing answered respectfully.
“Yeah,” Garen tapped on Fila’s head lightly.
Thump!
The b.l.o.o.d.y arrow went through the back of his head and instantly pierced into his head. It completely ended Fila’s life.
His body fell onto the ground without making any sound.
“Balance is the natural law of the universe. It’s just that each time I encounter such example, I can’t help but to feel emotional,” Garen turned around and looked at Remington who was unconscious from banging his head on the ground.
He was also touched by the genuine emotions of a ruthless young man from a wealthy background.
“How unfortunate…”
Garen reached out his hand, and a huge, ice-blue jagged mouth appeared on his palm. The mouth spewed out a countless amount of blue silk threads, and part of it headed toward another linked secret chamber.
“One last attempt.”
He closed his eyes.
Sss!
The sounds of the silk threads piercing into the head of the Seventh Divine Wind General’s head as well as the sound of the Grand Duke of Destruction’s head exploding in another chamber could be heard. Both of their vital signs quickly disappeared…
At the same time, countless pieces of colorful light began to cover the sky outside. It was as though the entire sky was filled with a large number of rainbows.
The shadows of dozens of mechs could be seen rus.h.i.+ng toward the villa where Garen was located.
Diofie, Fiery Fear, and other utterly old mechs controlled by the Non-falling Level experts have gathered here.
“He is trying to start a disaster! We must stop him immediately!” Fiery Fear’s voice transmitted to everyone that was present. “Go!”
Without any hesitation, dozens of top experts activated their engines, and a large number of Non-falling Lights were shot towards the mountain forest villa in all directions.
