"Alright. You two are more imposing now. Let me get myself something to entertain you and finish this little play we're doing."
After saying that, I didn't wait for their reply as I immediately dived down and picked one of the two Darkgens.
The two choices both have dark colors. After deliberating for a few seconds, I chose the dark blue Darkgen which has large black wings behind it. The wings have soft feather-like blades that would probably harden if energy ran through it. Out of the two, it's also the one that uses a sword as its weapon.
The opened cockpit still had the dead Dark World denizen strapped onto his seat so I pulled him out of it before entering and taking his place inside.
It took me a little over 5 seconds to familiarize myself to the interior of the Darkgen. Compared to a Metagen, there's no interface to input the commands. Instead, it will be controlled completely by my brain. There's also no need to put on a helmet for that to link my brain to the Darkgen, all I needed was to strap something on my arms and that's where the energy will travel through.
After understanding how it works, I reached in for the activation switch.
As the engine whirled I recalled more information about this Darkgen or all the Darkgens in particular.
Every Darkgen doesn't have a one type of energy restriction. Any type of energy can activate it as long as their Brain Capacity reaches the threshold. Its engine was made from a mix of Dark Energy and Regenium which made the maximum output to be higher than a Specialized Metagen. It boasted a 200% maximum energy output. Using a Level 2 Source Energy to the engine made the difference.
Due to this, I determined that the Dark World has the knowledge about how they can make equipment that can be used by any level and type of energy, just like the Necklace.
"Did I keep you waiting?"
In front of me, the two Ultimate Metagen were still towering presences compared to the Darkgen I picked up from the ground.
The Vermillion Demon Form and the somewhat spiky mammoth gorilla Form silently watched as the black wings on the back of this Darkgen lifted me on their eye level.
"I see. Your confidence has already shattered and now needs the help of a machine. You believed you now have no chance to evade us like a snake with only your body."
Even if I couldn't see him, the old man Liam was probably smirking to himself inside that lump of metal.
"Not really. I just feel like that I have to end this soon. You see, Nysia and the Sovereign Princess are already waiting for me back home. I already find it pointless to squeeze out the information you're holding through words."
He's partly right but of course, I wouldn't admit to it.
"Your words might be poisonous but don't think you can keep using my wife against me."
"Ah. Of course, Julian. Elise will stop being your wife soon so it's also pointless to drag her into this, don't worry this will be the last time you will hear her name from me. Come and let this brat teach you veterans a lesson about protecting your world."
Though there's still rage in his voice, the Enthroned Prince, like the Imperial Guardian, has also started to show signs of calming down.
Based on my observation, apart from the two, someone else was communicating with them which rendered my efforts on angering them to turn useless at this point.
"You're an outsider! Don't talk about protecting our world."
"That is what's funny, don't you think so? This world has five of you but the World's Will still asked us for help. Think again about what you did and if after this you still wanted to antagonize us, you should start considering changing your Source Energy and become a full-time traitor of this world. You two will not be missed, drag that Emperor with you if he so wishes."
"You…!"
Because the truth of my words stabbed them, they couldn't utter a proper response and I was met with only that exclamation from the old man.
I also didn't expect for them to respond to it, it's just intended to confuse them and think if what they're fighting for was really what they wanted.
Phantasmic Doppelganger!
Four Darkgen clones immediately materialized before me. With the 200% energy output, these clones' capabilities have more or less doubled, partnered it with my opened buff zones, it's more than enough to put them into a difficult situation.
Since I have completely understood how this Darkgen works, the series of commands I willed were all smoothly executed.
The four clones evenly split their targets, two for each Ultimate Metagen while my real body watched on from behind them, in charge of bombarding them with my Energy Explosion Projectiles.
At this point, I'm already a one-man army but yeah, my main class is still a support.
When the two saw me doing the first move, they flew back a bit to distance themselves from each other before making a stance to face the Clawed Darkgen clones.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions immediately started to fill the surroundings due to the projectiles made from the Bedevilled Outburst. Every time a projectile or any part of the clones would make contact, an explosion would occur.
Through their experience as a veteran Mythic-rank, they're handling it well by not letting the clones touch themselves or instantly divert their limbs or bodies to dodge before the explosion ensues.
However, with my sneaky Energy Explosion Projectiles hitting them occasionally, the stacked debuff has already started to affect their performance.
As the bulked up arms of the Majestic Mammoth continued to endure the continuous explosions which he failed to dodge, the blades lodged onto it started to crack and snap. Though they were being regenerated by his Meta Energy, the time it took was enough to give chance for the clones to slowly hack and stab their swords to the Ultimate Metagen.
The new form of Fireblood Sovereign also couldn't cope with the Energy Projectiles even while using that blood-like aura of his to defend against it. More often than not, my projectiles would be able to penetrate through the net of lance-shaped projectiles around him.
Unfortunately, the explosions this time couldn't deal that much damage on his Metagen. That merging with the clone not only changed his form but it seemingly increased his resistance towards explosions. There's one downside though, he became slower than earlier which led to my clones to hit him more than he dodged.
The Enthroned Prince also tried employing his weapon's specialty to keep the clones at bay, however, all of that was proven useless when the two clones didn't mind getting stabbed by it.
Sometimes the two Transcendents would be able to break out of their current disadvantage only to be met with Energy Explosion Projectiles which I reserved behind me. Those projectiles were experimental ones where I exercised my control of energy. They would only be sent and controlled to ultimately hit the enemies when they executed an unexpected move.
Two minutes later, I pulled the clones back which was like a saving grace for the two. When they saw me wave my hand to remove the clones, their Metagens seemingly relaxed its posture.
However, when I started to move from my position, the two of them subconsciously flew backwards.
"Say, are you terrified right now?"
I coldly muttered while I zoomed in to their position. Unlike the clones they faced which only have less than half of my real prowess, I'm going to stomp their pride down for being a Transcendent.
The wings on the back of the Darkgen were immediately coated with my Flux Energy, activating the added function of the Darkgen. It expanded and launched those feather-like blades whenever it would flap.
With those blades and the Energy Explosions Projectiles, the two found themselves unable to dodge everything completely.
"It's like that time again! Kuh!"
"Don't remind me of that Liam. We're stronger now than that time. A newly transcended brat like him wouldn't be able to beat us. If only Lyra didn't cower upon that woman's discovery…"
Ah. They're probably reminiscing their defeat against Nysia. And that Lyra is probably the Matriarch and Lunaria's mom.
In any case, it's inevitable for them to suffer like this. They were consumed by their inferiority, it's time to knock some sense into them.
Even if that Emperor was pulling into their inferiority, they still have awareness of their situation. I will be disappointed if that's not the case
"Shush. Let me tell you something. The Dark World whom you're dealing with probably has enough Transcendents that can lay waste in this world when that portal widened enough for them to pass through. Who knows? Their planet might also be moving towards here and all of us here who's only a Rank 1 Transcendents are just ants to whoever's on top."
"You two are already lucky to have reached that state but if you want to progress further, don't let your inferiority drag you down. Here, let me show you how a newly transcended brat tramples down on your pride."
The dark blue Darkgen flapped its wings and immediately switched direction. In mere seconds, the visage of the Fireblood Sovereign appeared on the screen in front of me.
Slash!
Before he could raise his guard, a surge of Swordforce flashed in front of him which immediately broke open the blood-like aura covering him. The streak of blue Swordforce continued its way and landed right where the cockpit is located.
I still can't get a flash of inspiration on what type of sword skill I will make but the Swordforce is a special type of energy that's only usable when I wield a sword. Even without a Sword Skill, even a simple slash can be imbued by it.
Through the screen in front of me, the startled and terrified expression of the Enthroned Prince could be seen on the opening in his cockpit made by that simple slash.
