King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 799 - 799 788

Chapter 799: 788 Chapter 799: 788 “What should I do?” Fage asked himself inwardly. He was young, piloting the newly constructed seventeenth generation Dawn Mech, and not heavily involved in many battles. This was only his second apprenticeship battle in the Dawn Mech’s cockpit.

In his first apprenticeship battle, he had defeated a superpower beast that was only about twenty-five meters in size. With the Dawn, he had executed a spectacular kill, his victory making the front page of the local news.

But during that battle, he didn’t have to consider anything; the superpower beast had just appeared in the suburbs. He didn’t have to ponder any extraneous factors. His sole focus was on how to swiftly and proficiently kill the adversary before him.

This second battle, however, presented him with a difficult choice: should he remain stationary to save the ten thousand people in the refuge behind him, or should he save the mother and daughter next to him?

The commanders at the military base thousands of miles away didn’t need to engage in such mental gymnastics. They could simply issue an order for him to stand still, block the attack of the superpower beast, draw its attention, and lure it elsewhere to continue the battle.

To them, human lives were just digits, and if one had to choose between two lives and ten thousand lives, the obvious choice was apparent without much thought.

But the young and hot-blooded Fage was different. The exceptional detection features of the mech allowed him to vividly see the expression on the mother and daughter’s faces, especially the adoring and stirred gaze of the little girl in the mother’s arms, this made his decision even more hesitant.

Was he really supposed to let the residual blast from the laser dragon turtle’s laser gun reduce this mother and daughter to ashes? Hadn’t he been assigned to this location for the purpose of protecting? Yet now, he couldn’t even protect the mother and daughter right in front of him.

After this battle, he would have the perfect justification for the grilling from media — there was an underground refuge hidden behind him that housed nearly ten thousand people. He couldn’t move from there.

Boom!

Fage wasn’t given much time to think. Seeing the Dawn Mech suddenly stand still, no longer jumping around like a monkey in the steel jungle, the laser dragon turtle had a moment to charge, then, stronger than any attack it had previously launched, it fired a laser directly at the Dawn Mech.

At that moment, Fage, with hardly a thought, instinctively thrust the ship-slicing blade he held into the ground in front of the mother and daughter. The twenty-five-meter-long blade’s cross-section provided a perfect shield for the mother and daughter, blocking the laser gun’s attack.

Roar! Seeing the enemy suddenly discard his primary weapon, the dragon turtle let out an excited roar. Having enough intelligence, possessed strong emotions, that’s why it held such a deep hatred for the tidal people.

Because it was intelligent, the dragon turtle could guess what may have prompted this steel creation to act so abnormally. Thus, the dragon turtle immediately ceased fire. Its seemingly ponderous body displayed a surprising agility at that moment.

Its thick turtle feet moved swiftly. The colossal body quickly approached the Dawn. Its sturdy head heavily smacked against its armor, and then its tail swung out, viciously whipping it away from its primary weapon.

Without the ship-slicing blade, this fragile steel creation was no longer a threat. The streams of firepower hit the dragon turtle’s body, but to it, it was just a drizzle. The injuries inflicted were far from fatal.

Standing where the Dawn Mech was just moments ago, the laser dragon turtle lowered its head and saw the mother and daughter trembling behind the ship-slicing blade. It then understood what led the despicable steel creation to act so unusually just now.

“What a fool!” the dragon turtle thought in contempt, “It’s these insignificant bonds that have made it vulnerable. But I should thank you. Because of you, I don’t have any bindings.”

No sooner had a smirk appeared on the dragon turtle’s face than it tipped its head back in an infuriated roar, electricity crackling around its body. It was devoid of family.

Fueled by this anger, the dragon turtle harshly cast the ship-slicing blade from next to it, stared down at the mother and daughter below, flashed a ruthlessly gleeful smile, and then raised its large turtle claw.

“No!” The Dawn Mech, which was flung to one side, saw the scene and instantly seethed with fury. Fage’s rage also traveled through the mech’s neural connection system, stimulating something hidden within the mech.

“I knew it, this mech isn’t just a typical technological mech. It can actually activate!” A flabbergasted Muria observed the incredible scene unfolding through her mental powers.

The mech with a predominately gold color finish suddenly displayed red glyphs. The entire hull of the mech swelled, appearing somewhat flamboyant, with an aura that seemed to have elevated to a higher level.

“This aura, it’s peculiar. Why is there blood energy on this mech? How did this thing suddenly come alive?”

…

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in an underground research institute, when the Dawn Mech exhibited its brand-new form, a wave of exhilarated cheers and shrieks resounded through the institute.

“It’s activated! That kid Fage activated the authentic form of the Dawn Mech. Our anticipation and designs were not wrong.”

“Hahaha, this is the kind of mech we were hoping to design, infinitely close to a living organism, a living mech!”

“Indeed, Fage did not disappoint as the pilot who’s the most compatible with the Dawn Mech.”

…

“Interesting design!” Muria couldn’t help but shield himself and floated above the Dawn Mech for a closer inspection. At the same time, the Golden Dragon Mother also came along, observing the structure of the mech carefully with her mental power and then exclaiming.

“What a wildly creative idea. The stuffing in this mech is actually flesh and blood, even possessing the same blood circulation system as a living organism.”

Muria’s mental power easily pierced through the outer armor of the mech, revealing its true structure. However, despite the fact that the Dawn Mech’s arms, legs, and main body were all filled with various highly active muscular tissues, and even a complete blood circulation system had been constructed, the real core of the mech remained the alloy skeleton, and the primary power source was still a nuclear engine.

“The combination of machine and biology. Very interesting!” After understanding the manufacturing concept of this mech, Muria’s eyes began to shine.

What is the most prominent characteristic of a civilization that relies on external things and prioritizes technological development? It is the ability to mass-produce many destructive weapons once a certain technological barrier is broken.

What restricts technological civilizations are resources. As long as they have ample resources, they can manufacture as many weapons as they want. Similar to the Mechanism Emperor’s space-based Star Destroyer Cannon, it doesn’t have high requirements for the metal used in its construction, so the Mechanism Emperor manufactured multiple Star Destroyer Cannons. Similarly, the Stellar Orbital Cannon, which poses a huge deterrence to deities, seems to have been produced only once by the Mechanism Emperor.

“Very odd, I didn’t feel it when the mech was filled with this flesh and blood earlier, but now I can sense it; this mech seems to have come alive.”

“Just now, this flesh and blood was dormant, and I didn’t feel anything special. Now it seems to have been activated and it’s quite interesting technology.”

“This flesh and blood must be from a gold-level lifeform, right? Only the flesh of a gold-level lifeform or higher can maintain this kind of activity after being cut off.”

“Muria, your world is quite interesting. We must acquire this manufacturing technology.”

“Of course.” Muria had already regarded the world’s mech manufacturing technology as his own. If he had the technology, wouldn’t he be able to create such a living mech?

The limitations of this kind of mech are clearly the grade of its metal materials and the level of the active flesh it has. This is just a small world that has been infected by the Blood of Titans.

Despite thousands of years of catalytic incubation, there can’t be too many gold-level lifeforms born in it. As such, this type of mech is definitely the rare product of this world and belongs to the category of ace mechs.

For Muria’s faction, this mech could barely qualify to be a security guard of the Dragon Clan Academy. Of course, it could only guard the dormitory area for young dragons; it wouldn’t work for juvenile dragons. With a reasonable use of magic, a group of dragons could dismantle it in minutes.

So, Muria only wanted the technology. With the technology, he could use better materials to make stronger mechs.

As for metal materials, Muria remembered that he currently possessed a large hybrid metal mine, and high-grade active flesh seemed to be as plentiful as he wants, there was no shortage at all. In this case, he could quickly manufacture intermediate and high-end combat forces.

As for creating a mech with legend-level combat power, Muria didn’t expect that. Simply using the active flesh of a legendary creature to fill the mech would not bring out the true combat power a legend should have.

Because a legend can crush everything below the level of soul intent, apart from their unique control over space, the most important aspect is their understanding of laws. Every action of a legendary creature has great power; the nature of their power is completely different from anything below the level of legends.

…

While Muria and the Golden Dragon Mother were studying the Dawn Mech, an intense battle was underway. The two of them did not interfere with the battle between the Dawn Mech and the Dragon Turtle.

After a moment, Muria, who had finished discussing with the Golden Dragon Mother, couldn’t help but smack his lips. He thought that the Dawn Mech, whose power had risen a level after bursting the seeds, could easily crush this Dragon Turtle and end the battle.

However, what happened unexpectedly was, after being hammered on the ground by the Dawn Mech that had burst the seeds, the Dragon Turtle inexplicably also exploded in power.

The Dragon Turtle’s body swelled violently, then, it slowly stood up from the ground. Its originally stocky limbs and turtle-claw feet quickly became thin and long, while the large shell on its body began to split…

“Is the direction of this bursting evolution a bit off?” Watching as the Dragon Turtle stood upright on two feet and became increasingly humanoid, Muria couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
