The Undying Mecha Emperor

What I held in my hands at that moment was actually my first Gold Grade Weapon.

As you probably know, weapons and armor are divided into several grades.

White, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum make up the entirety of our Earth Based Grades.

White Grade weapons are weapons that could deal certain death to a single unarmed target. Guns, arrows, swords are all White Grade Weapons.

Bronze Grade weapons are weapons that could deal certain death to more than one single unarmed target within a second. Machine guns, grenades, massive oversized swords, hammers and the like.

Silver Grade weapons are weapons that could deal certain death to a single blue mecha. Ultra Heavy Mecha Rifles, Mecha Close Combat Weapons and the like.

Gold Grade Weapons are those that could deal certain death to multiple blue mechas. These sort of weapons were extremely rare, and are usually not mass produced. The triple-core rifles held by the three enemy mechas earlier that day was a good example.

Finally, Platinum Grade Weapons are those that could deal certain death to a single white mecha. These are probably only wielded by peak White Mechas and Golden Mechas.

You can imagine just how ecstatic I was at receiving two incredibly precious things then, my very own near-peak White Mecha, and a Gold Grade Weapon!

And all that after a massive roller coaster chain of events earlier that day!

After realizing that I was not intending to continue on our friendly verbal joust, Bruce Pang merely sighed lightly and sat back on his sofa to wait for me to finish inspecting "Death Bringer".

And no, I was not the one who named it.

I received its name alongside all its other details in the form of images as I familiarized myself with it.

As I mentioned earlier, Death Bringer looked a combination of a Sword and a Rifle.

The barrel of the rifle had extremely sharp edges and doubled as a sword blade. The stock could be straightened to form a sword grip and the trigger could be retracted neatly to create a balanced sword when required.

Both the Rifle and the Sword were Gold Grades each and of themselves, and thus had the power to kill more than a single blue mecha at one go!

Death Bringer truly was an impressive weapon. But if it was just that, it probably wouldn't stun me for as long as it did.

Because in reality, the Rifle and the Sword were merely add ons. Death Bringer was actually mainly a third type of weapon.

It was a Scythe!

The sharp edge of one of the Sword's body could be spun forward via a hinge-like device at the nozzle of the Rifle Barrel to form a massive and fearsome looking Scythe!!

And it wasn't just any Scythe, it was a Double Edged Scythe that could deal death with both its inside and outside!

As a weapon, Death Bringer was truly a freak of nature.

Most hybrid weapons which combined two or more functions had to sacrifice many things to get the weapon to work.

Most had to see massive reductions in critical areas such as… Durability. Balance. Power Output. Efficiency. Ease of use. Weight.

However, Death Bringer was so ingenuously designed and made up of such ridiculously strong materials that it maintained Gold Grade specifications for all three Weapon Functions!

And the most wondrous aspect of it all was the fact that it could be shrunk and resized to a maximum size of a hundred meters tall in size.

At. Will.

"This is an incredible weapon." I finally said to Bruce Pang softly after a full minute of studying it.

"Yes. It truly is. The Ancestor is a Weapon Designer and this Death Bringer is one of his Masterpieces. With this Gold Grade Weapon, we are able to fight head to head with even the stro-"

Poof.

I unleashed my red energy and caused Death Bringer to disappear into a bunch of particles.

"WHAT THE BLEEDING HELL DID YOU JUST DO??" Bruce Pang shouted in horror.

"Huh? What? I merely absorbed it. Now that I have its blurprint, I can easily recreate whatever weapon I want, and I do not need to sacrifice any aspects to gain the triple function. I can pour all of the rare material into the most powerful Scythe Design like this."

Whoosh!

I created the Double Bladed Double Sided Scythe that was held by the Mecha Guardian Death God.

Whoosh!

I instantly caused it to disappear and recreated the Triple Cored Rifle which was carried by the enemy mechas earlier.

Whoosh!

I caused it to disappear once more and created a powerful looking sword that was a cleaner and more powerful version of the Sword that Death Bringer could turn into.

"This… this…" Bruce Pang sputtered in confusion.

On one hand, he was extremely impressed by my ability and by the power of the weapons I created

But on the other hand…

"That means you didn't need to actually take freaking Death Bringer!! You can just ask for its blueprints and you'll be able to reproduce it for yourself, right? Why the bleeding hell did you absorb a Gold Grade Weapon that took us five bloody years to ma-"

BAM!!

The door to Bruce Pang's office slammed open and a slightly panicked looking Ancestor came running in.

"Don't absorb the damn-" His words were cut short when he saw the clean looking Gold Grade Sword in my hands.

…

… …

… … …

"Well. F*ck." The Ancestor sighed and then left the room again.

Bam!

The door slammed behind him.

Bam!!

The door opened once more.

The Ancestor came in again and then glared at me.

"You." He growled.

"Ehm. Yes Ancestor?" I summoned all the innocence I had within me and asked him in my most innocent voice.

The Ancestor took out a device and gave it to me.

"You have five minutes to study everything in it and produce them with your power." He said with a tone that was clearly a painful combination deep regret, anger, hope, greed, excitement and impatience.
