Chapter 947 A Mecha Invasion!
-----
A smile surged on the elf's face as he looked into the projection in front of him. His powerful fleet of mechs had finally reached the Frost Island, a forbidden place for him for several years. After the last failed attempt at infiltrating the Venerable's inheritance, he had given up on any plans and decided to simply save his strength and slowly build up more power by accumulating Unique Skill Users. However, out of coincidence as he sought to take down some of the things he had simply been too busy to deal with before, he found himself within this nostalgic view.
"This island…"
He quickly recalled a memory of the past, when his enormous fleet of mechs created through the power of the Technomancy had attempted to invade the tower by force, only to become completely frozen…
However, this time, it seemed vastly different.
"Is it my idea or the tower seems to have… changed?" He wondered cunningly, as one of his eyebrows raised. "Well, I'll pay no mind to this for now. So where is the dragon- Oh, there he is. As long as I can catch his soul after his death, I would be able to extract his memories and a part of his power… That's more than enough for what I want to do."
Greenwood had his priorities straight in what he wanted to do. More importantly than anything, he desired to defeat the ice dragon and the ice giant girl with him because they were witnessers of what had happened to that village he destroyed, and also the ones that protected that other sect from annihilating, especially the sect master there.
As long as he could slay that annoying pair that was always getting on his way, he would feel more relieved. Certainly, the ice dragon was not near as troublesome as a certain Elf Princess, but he was someone that could easily plant a lot more seeds of disaster on his plans, something he certainly didn't wanted.
As someone cautious and cunning, he disliked when things didn't go his way as he planned. So he always made sure to be extra careful that everything was well taken care of…
"Now go, wreak havoc, destroy it all!" Greenwood ordered.

(Drake's POV)
BOOOOOMMM!!!
An enormous beam impacted my body. Just in time, I managed to shapeshift into my Dragon form, enormous enough to cover the entire village with my gigantic wings and shielded the village from the deadly beam unleashed by what looked like a giant Gundam in the sky. If I didn't had good memory about my enemies, I would be still wondering what the heck is that.
But I know exactly who the bastard behind mechas in this world is. Nobody else than Greenwood, or as I've already learned his true identity, Oberon, the first Venerable of this world. Amongst the many Soul Fragments he created after his death, which he made into clones with independent minds and personalities, Greenwood is only one of them, namely "Green". He is, apparently, someone in charge of gathering Unique Skill users and is an active watcher of the events of this world unlike the other clones.
However… that beam now, it was something completely different from what I remember from back then. When I fought against that giant mecha back then inside of Benladann's ruined village… It wasn't as strong to deal an enormous hole in my wings. I supposed that now that I am a Dragon God, this shouldn't had even dealt damage at all. But I guess I was wrong.
Did this bastard figured out I was a God now? Or did he simply decided to go beyond and simply ignore [Fate] and do any countermeasure against a mortal? Maybe because it is mechs who are doing it, he can avoid [Fate]'s punishment. To be expected of that smartass.
"W-What is happening?!" Benladann quickly ran outside of the house of the village chief, alongside most of my group.
"Stay there! There's a bunch of robots outside! Remember those, Benladann?" I asked Benladann in specific, as she was someone from Earth, she knew about the concept of robots and would easily make the connection.
"Wait! Greenwood?!" Benladann furiously asked. Her entire body suddenly exploded into an aura of Chaos and Ice.
"Greenwood appeared?!" Miranda asked in surprise as well. "The bastard that destroyed Benladann's village, isn't he?! Benladann, let's fuse!"
"Alright!"
FLASH!
Without even waiting for my response, Benladann and Miranda merged together. Although this didn't even changed Benladann's appearance that much, but she began to already shapeshift into her half chaos dragon ice giant form, as purple and black scales grew over her body, alongside a long tail, big wings, and sharp claws and horns, as a third vertical eye appeared in the middle of her forehead.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
And just before I could even explain things properly to everybody else, the mechs atop the sky quickly began charging their cannons and firing blue and red lasers at me, capable of easily melting most metals and leaving holes all over my back, which I made swiftly regenerate by activating [Immortal Body] in combination with Divine Power.
"Drake! Hang in there, I'll help!" Benladann said, flying towards my side.
"We can help as well!"
"Let us join the battle!"
"Now that we are gods we can also help…!"
"No, you guys stay here." I said, stopping the rest of my group. "If Greenwood learns about the existence of more Gods such as you guys, things might become even worse, also, if we are fighting out there, we'll need someone to protect the village."
"That's right!"
Suddenly, the voice of the enormous ice walls spoke, as the chief of the village walked outside her home as well, she brought with herself a large staff made of divine ice, which she used to hit the ground five consecutive times.
TRUUUUMMM…!
"Miss Ice, it seems that they had come back after a long time, let's activate that." She said.
"Understood! Divine Barrier!" The Ice Walls spoke, as an enormous divine barrier was erected.
FLUOSH!
