The Undying Mecha Emperor

Chapter 288 Bloodlines Activated

If you have never been electrocuted before, then you will never be able to understand what I went through at that moment.

And even if you HAVE been electrocuted before, it would be as though you were dipping your feet by the side of a small swimming pool compared to me who just got tossed in the middle of the ocean during a wild thunderstorm.

The electrical energy was not fatal to me, thankfully. By that time, I was so freakishly strong and durable that I had no idea what sort of energy was strong enough to kill me.

But just because it wasn't fatal didn't mean that it had no effect on me.

I still screamed like a stuck pig when the electrical energy drenched me completely from the tips of my hair to my toenails.

For many long seconds, I glowed white and bathed in pure electricity.

But as suddenly as it began, the electrical surge suddenly stopped.

And I was ecstatic!

"WHOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!!! DO THAT AGAIN!!!!" I screamed out loud in pleasure!

By god it truly felt good to be electrocuted by that giant black knight!!

For some strange reason, my blood began to boil after that and a deep, primal sort of hunger awakened within me.

Very specifically, within my blood.

I wanted, no, I NEEDED more electricity!!

But alas for me, after electrocuting me with all of his heart, the black knight died.

Yes, that black knight which just electrocuted me stopped moving completely.

I stomped my feet like a spoilt kid on its giant feet, hoping that it would electrocute me again in response, but it was completely still like a statue.

"It's dead? Too bad for it. But lucky me, there are more than twenty more of them! Hahahaha! Hey! Come give me your lightning energy!!" I cried out enthusiastically at the next black knight.

Thankfully for me, the black knights were either really brave or they were incapable of thought. None of them showed any indication of wanting to run away even after seeing one of their buddies suddenly freeze to become an inanimate object.

I leapt down from the dead black knight eagerly and charged at the nearest one next to him.

"Huaaa!!" I jumped up really high and reached the top of his foot in one fluid motion.

And as expected…

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! MORE!! MORREEEEE!!" I screamed in exultation as I was once again flooded in lightning energy!!

I could feel my arms getting hotter and hotter by the second, and I could almost hear the screams of pure pleasure from my blood.

My whole body was tingling in what seemed like a full body orgasm that was not sexual in nature.

Yes, I know that there is no such thing as a non sexual orgasm.

But it sure felt like that for me.

Alas for me, that orgasm was suddenly cut short as the second black knight died as well!

The electrical surge disappeared, and I was left gasping for more.

"Damn! You there! Get your ass over here and give me your lightning energy!" I roared in anger, completely pissed off at having my non sexual orgasm cut off.

With a powerful leap, I shot out from my position and landed on the third black knight's knee.

And once more, the orchestra began to play and I was once again immersed in pure pleasure.

"Ahhh!!! This is it. This is it!!" I shouted as my blood continued to boil and the two bloodlines I had absorbed started to stir and activate.

One at a time, again and again, I went through the cycle of absorbing the lightning energy of all the black knights in that greenlit alien land.

All the while, I could sense the two bloodlines within me slowly bloom in their awakening.

Right when the final black knight dimmed in death, I finally sensed that something was about to happen to the bloodlines within me.

Slowly but surely, they were activating.

The first to fully activate was, of course, the Lightning Demon Assassin bloodline.

I clenched my hand and felt the pulsing of my lightning energy just crackling around my fist.

"Holy smokes. The power of lightning in my hands. What did I just become? Chinese Adam?" I muttered in awe of myself and my newfound power.

But unlike the simple power of the famed antihero where he merely unleashes lightning arcs out of his hands, my power was slightly more complex than that.

The Lightning Demon Assassin bloodline was exactly as its name suggested.

It was a silent, nearly undetectable but highly lethal lightning based bloodline that specializes in massive bursts of power for short periods of time.

In a sense, my power was more like Sa**ke's Chidori than Bl**k Adam's lightning.

Highly intense lightning energy that can pierce through almost anything.

Enough to kill even gods that are vulnerable to lightning.

"I hope they have a third stage in this stupid trial." I murmured to myself. "I need to try out this new skill of mine."

"Hey. Is that the power of your new bloodline?" Princess Louisa asked as she landed lightly next to me.

"Uh huh." I replied distractedly. A strange bubbling from my blood was taking place at that moment, and I had no attention to spare for her.

My second bloodline was awakening!

Crackle. Crackle.

I could feel it coming.

A surge of heat from deep within my bones.

"Fire?" My eyes widened in anticipation.

But just as it was about to fully bloom and awaken, a hollow feeling rose up from my body, and the heat from within my blood started to dissipate.

"That lightning energy was insufficient??" I couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Without hesitation, Princess Louisa leapt out of her mecha and passed a couple more vials filled with her blood.

"Take it. My blood is the support type. They will power your bloodline and help it activate." She said.

I needed no second urging.

I unstoppered the vials and gulped their contents clean.

Just as she had said, her blood quickly disappeared into my body and the surging heat from my second bloodline's awakening returned at full force.

At the same time, I could sense that my ability to read into Princess Louisa's heart and mind spiking.

I blinked in slight surprise at the unexpected side effect, but continued to focus on the second bloodline awakening.

The heat filled my whole body rapidly and within seconds, the heat overflowed and burst out of the pores of my skin!

However, instead of fire as I was fully expecting, a strange black energy flowed out and covered my whole body with it.

"Black… energy? Just what does it do?" I wondered with a frown. But instinctively, I realized that I knew what that black energy does.

I pointed at the nearest dead three headed wolf corpse and my black energy shot into it with great gusto.

Whoosh.

A spirit form of the three headed wolf rose from its dead body and immediately made its way towards me.

"Whaaaat…. I am a necromancer??" My jaw dropped once more in shock.

But my shock did not end there.

As though it was showing off to his noobie new master, the spirit form of the three headed beast suddenly opened his three maws and created three small spheres of white lightning laced with golden light which it released almost immediately.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

All three lightning spheres shot out of his maw and slammed into the nearby giant black knight.

Surprisingly, the three small spheres managed to slam into the dead black knight with such great force that it actually was flung slightly backwards and fell down with a loud BANG!!

"I see, as a product of my combined bloodline, this spirit beast of mine has the power of lightning too! But if that's the case, then doesn't my lightning…"

I powered up my Chido- I mean my lightning energy on my right hand, and focused on combining it with the black energy.

Lo and behold.

My originally white lightning energy immediately turned black!

Undead lightning energy!

Instead of merely electrocuting my targets to death, my undead lightning energy can corrode their life force as well!!

"Impressive! With these powers, even without my red energy, I would still be a formidable force!" I cried out happily.

But just as those words left my mouth, a thought struck me.

"Wait a minute. What would happen if I can combine these two powers with my red mecha core? Would I be able to raise up fallen mechas??" My heart started to beat faster.

If I could do that, then I would raise up an entire global army of frankenstein mechas that would number as the sands on the sea shores.

I would be singularly the most powerful force in the whole wide world.

I would be a true overlord!

"Hahaha. What's with that dumb expression on your face?" Princess Louisa giggled lightly.

I turned around to frown at her.

But as I did so, my eyes widened at the sight of a massive black knight which had somehow avoided our detection, and was quietly floating towards us with a massive war hammer raised up ready to smash into us!
