MTLNOVEL Chapter 1211: The Sacrifice Of A Hero
-----
If he could secure the third fragment of the Neutonium Mother Core, the core herself had said that she would regain more of her true powers, and that she would be able to do incredible things, some things that seemed even more ridiculous than right now.
Would that be enough to fight against the other powerful Xenoids at the level of Agonitias or beyond that will appear tomorrow and past tomorrow?
He didn't know, but he had to get as much power as possible beforehand. There was another thing he could do as well, one related with the massive Neutonium Core powering the entire mothership.
However, he had to handle it with care, if it failed, the entire ship would immediately stop working and everyone would die.
But if he managed to use it properly, he could gain tremendous power, perhaps the only last hope, which would be a huge gamble, and not something he would employ right away.
For now, there were other ways to grow stronger too, he was going to absorb more Neutonium Core Shards, as many as he can find in the entire ship and awaken his powers as much as possible.
This way, he'll be able to unlock more Skill Slots, get new Skills, and summon the rest of his Familiars…
He had yet to use the last skill slot though, it seemed he was unable to get anything, but he was already considering either getting his Alchemy Skill or something powerful like the Divine Sword of Light.
The current form that Braveblitz already had, however, was incredibly strong, enough to trivialize dozens of Titan Xenoids as if they were nothing, and also to go against someone like Agonitias and easily kill him after he was weakened enough.
However, Blake wasn't so sure if it would be able to completely overwhelm someone at the level of Agonitias or higher if they were still at full power and not exhausted and wounded as he was…
But it was still a great new power, although…
At the cost of someone.
"We're back…"
As everyone started landing in the port until the last member did, the gates closed rapidly, and the mothership resumed its flight across space.
In two more days, it would probably finally reach its destination, a planet they would begin to terraform to create a second Earth, one where all the cryogenically stored humans would be able to live on.
"Then we're done," said Eleanora, sighing in relief.
"Finally?" wondered Saphira.
"I'm exhausted!" Celestina complained.
"This transformation truly drains our energy…" Hendrick said.
"Ugh, my old bones are going to break at any moment now!" Woo cried, despite not having bones anymore.
"It does indeed put some pressure into the soul," Fang agreed.
POOF!
Out of nowhere, the entire gigantic, majestic body of the new Braveblitz disappeared into particles of light, leaving only the big head with little arms and legs falling into the ground.
CLANK!
"Hey! Are you serious?!"
Blake felt embarrassed that this happened right in front of every pilot talking and celebrating their victory, unable to comprehend what the hell happened.
"Wow, how did you even do that, Blake?!"
"So it's true, was that giant robot the manifestation of a Neutonium Ability?!"
"Seriously, your abilities are amazing!"
"You saved everyone, thank you!"
"That thing… I never imagined it would ever die; it was so huge!"
"Blake, you're our hero!"
"Man, I can't believe we're alive!"
"Thanks a lot!"
"Thank you so much!"
"Without you, I don't know what would've happened to us…"
"The mechs you made the elders provide to us are amazing, our survivability skyrocketed thanks to them!"
"It was all thanks to you man, we owe you everything!"
"Thank you so much, for everything, truly!"
"You're our savior… our hero… a living legend!"
"Blake, you'll go on history man!"
"And Braveblitz too! Why… wait why is he just a head now?"
"A long story," said Blake, smiling, as he greeted and thanked the people around him.
Although even outside of this trial he had received the gratitude of many, this time it felt strangely special, maybe because he had also changed, to appreciate this more than he imagined.
Or maybe because he was battling to protect this little group of people, what barely was left of humanity.
Or perhaps because Braveblitz sacrificed himself for this victory, making it even more special as well… Read new chapters at empire
"Braveblitz, do you see this?" he whispered to himself. "This is the gratitude of the people you've saved. Of all these people you wanted to save so much… They recognize you as their hero."
He touched his chest lightly, but he couldn't hear the voice of the brave heroic robot anymore.
"…"
He sighed, as the robot head started walking by his mental commands.
The entire head of Braveblitz was quite big anyways, as tall as four meters, and with bulky, little arms and legs.
It moved quite easily using them, and it seemed capable of light expressions, its eyes widening as it saw these people.
Its entire design had changed, the head now had a seat and comfortable air conditioning, there were also a huge control panel, and the head could be opened for him to easily walk out.
This head… it had become something the Neutonium Mother Core had given a very mysterious name, and it held a very special power.
The power of Bonds that Surpassed the Laws of Physics, a Supernatural Power born from the Neutonium Core's already existing capability of readjusting or altering the laws of physics through their unique electromagnetic energies.
Braveblitz was born as the evolution of this, someone that embodies this supernatural power, a robot with a powerful soul.
And even the head left behind from his body had evolved into its own being. Blake wasn't sure if it was truly Braveblitz there walking and moving, or something else, a new being entirely.
Perhaps Braveblitz's son, or something.
"It seems you like attention," he said. "Are you there, Braveblitz?"
He asked the walking head-shaped robot, yet it didn't have any response to that name.
"Hah, I guess it's not the case."
Blake didn't realize, however, that the robot was giving him a double thumbs up.
