The Undying Mecha Emperor

Have you ever tried shabu-shabu? It's an eastern dish that dumps a huge amount of meat, vegetables and all sorts of stuff into a pot of clear soup.

It's a very simple way to cook a meal with all the nutrition that a family requires. Just one pot of everything in it, and that's all. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is served.

At that moment, my heart was an emotional shabu-shabu.

I was shocked at the insane revelation that the little girl was

A princess.

From another planet

Able to inject life energy to my red mecha core

Able to identify said mecha core as a… familiar? What the hell was a familiar??

I was ecstatic that

My red mecha core's digestion of Control seemed to have progressed by a huge amount!

My red mecha core is alive? It is a familiar? Again… what the hell was a familiar??

I was relieved that she did not know

That my red mecha core's ability was devour

That I was in the process of devouring another "familiar"

I had another mecha core which was very probably another "familiar"

I was extremely excited at the idea that

"Familiar" sounded as though there was an entire power system in the outside universe!

Devour was probably a very powerful type of "Familiar"!

Even if I had to participate in that power system in the outside universe, I would probably still be a pretty powerful force!

I was slightly dismayed that

Even after absorbing so much and attaining a physical state of near impenetrability on earth, I was still like a little beggar in front of this Princess Augustine.

We were of similar age, and yet if she's Bruce Pang's daughter, wouldn't that make me her… uncle??

"He seems rather overwhelmed, pops. Poor boy. There, there, everything will be fine soon. I will give you a Royal Gift, one befitting of a Royal Uncle." Princess Augustine said gently and kindly even as her little hands touched mine once more.

"This will hurt slightly. Don't worry, though! Just think happy thoughts… Happy thoughts!!" She said soothingly.

JLEB!!!

Her cute little hands suddenly turned into extremely sharp claws and pierced into the flesh of my hands!

CRACKLE!!! CRAAAACKLEEEEE!!!!!

Pulses of what seemed like powerful life energy surged into my body through my left hand.

And what followed was complete and utter agony.

I later understood that what she did was actually extremely beneficial to me.

When I absorbed the bodies of the two Horse Gavarels, I had also absorbed alongside them a massive amount of impurities.

At that moment, my body was like a juicer filled to the brim with the fibrous waste of two very disgusting fruits!

Princess Augustine flooded my body with her pure life energy and through sheer flooding of her higher grade life force, she brutally forced the impurities out of my system.

Black and red tar-like stuff that smelled like decayed and rotten food started to seep out of my body.

At the same time, blinding pain ripped through my body and caused me to black out completely.

There was just no way I could remain conscious through such excruciating pain!

I had no idea how long I was out for, but when I woke up, Bruce Pang and Princess Augustine were chatting quietly as G-Drake slowly made his way across the Pacific Ocean.

And as my senses came online and started giving me feedback about the state of my body, I could not help but be completely floored once more.

I had never felt more alive in my entire life!

I could feel my entire body very, very clearly!

It was like I was previously a blind man who suddenly gained vision over what was happening in his body.

I could sense my energy just flowing around the various pathways in my body, and how they were nourishing and powering my muscles and organs.

I could also sense that everything in my body was functioning perfectly, and that a massive potential for increased performance lurked underneath everything.

If I wanted to, I could exert a force that was hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million times more than what I was actually producing at that moment!

What could I say? It was glorious.

I felt like the strongest man, or boy, in the world!!

Of course, the benefits I got were not only limited to my body.

My mecha core benefited as well!

It was still dormant, as before. However, at that moment, I could clearly sense that the digestion process had reached approximately sixty percent, and that the rate of digestion had also been accelerated by a whopping two hundred percent!

It was a very exciting piece of information for me. Especially when I calculated that the remaining time required for me to finish the digestion process was around fifty days.

What originally required an entire year to process would be completed in just fifty days!

Awesome.

Plus, the increase in the rate of digestion simply meant that the quality of my red mecha core had increased as well.

Double awesome.

And when I recalled that I still had the treasure sword and the mecha core to slowly examine and possibly absorb, my heart was completely filled to the brim with bliss.

Triple awesome.

After taking stock of my very happy situation, I finally turned my attention to the conversation that my big bro and my niece was having.

"... not worth it." Bruce Pang was shaking his head.

"Of course it is worth it. I am Princess Augustine. You are my old man now. You are rightfully the King of Shra-Gaz. My Royal Brother will step down and cede the throne to you. He'd better. Without me, the Kingdom of Shra-Gaz will crumble before the might of the Dark Empire. If I say his time as king is over, then he had better hand over the damn throne back to me, and with a damn cherry on top with the biggest smile he could manage!" Princess Augustine said fiercely.

"Hey. Language." Bruce Pang said sternly.

"Hee hee. Sorreeey! Anyway, don't worry pops. Just wait here for my return. When I do, I will bring you back home to be King!"
