The Undying Mecha Emperor

Chapter 83 Gene Optimizing Serum

The Ancestor laughed out loud at my miserably pointless antic to defend myself.

After all, there was only one strange variable in the entire room, and it was me and my strange power.

He studied the Primordial Chaos Emperor and nodded when he realized that nothing was wrong with it.

"Would you like to tell me everything you know now, or would you like me to-"

"I'll tell you everything." I quickly replied.

I had no wish to go against the Ancestor. Not with so many benefits which I could gain by being a Blood Moon, and so many disadvantages being at odds with him.

"I was about to say I'll buy the information off you with this treasure, but it's good that you're willing to tell me everything out of your own accord." The Ancestor glanced at me slyly as he took out a weird looking vial. It was a potion of some sort.

"Tell you what, why don't you try and attack me. If you can land a hit on me, I'll-"

Snatch!

My hand shot out at high speed and tried to snatch the vial from the Ancestor even before he finished speaking.

The Ancestor dodged my attempt easily.

Bruce and Jeanette could only gape in shock at my obvious disregard for respect!

"What a sneaky fella! Truly my brother from another mother!" Bruce cried out excitedly.

"What a sneaky fella! Truly worthy of being a Blood Moon Disciple!" Jeanette cried out in approval.

"The Ancestor was probably about to puke blood. His senior Blood Moon Guardians were actually applauding me for sneak attacking him!" I thought with a slight laugh.

However the Ancestor merely smiled at me and taunted me by beckoning me to continue with his other hand.

"Well, if you're brave enough to willingly kick a hornet's nest, then don't complain when the hornets all come out to play!" I smiled greedily at him.

I threw away all sensible thoughts and began to attack the Ancestor in earnest with everything I had.

Whoosh!

I sent a powerful straight right which the Ancestor dodged with a quick step-back and a bored look on his face.

I smirked and manifested a mecha arm which managed to land a grip on the Ancestor's robe!

The Ancestor's eyes narrowed in mild surprise as he realized that he had been caught.

However, the surprise was mostly mine when I pulled at his robe, only to find that he wasn't in it anymore!

"Very interesting power you got there." His aged and tired voice sounded from behind me.

Since I was about to tell him everything anyway, I might as well do a little demonstration and get for myself a little reward in the process.

I had no idea what was in the vial, but it must be something good!

I launched a ruthless back kick using my right foot towards the voice.

Missed!

My right foot slammed down on the ground and I launched another kick using my left foot this time.

Missed again!

The Ancestor kept leaning back and making simple moves to dodge my furious attack.

Beneath his simple robe was a stunning muscular body filled with horrible scars.

(Think: Genry?sai Shigekuni Yamamoto)

I dashed forward to close the distance between us and launched another vicious straight right at him.

He leaned to his right and avoided my punch without much effort at all.

"Gotcha!" I smirked as my left fist swung upwards in a powerful uppercut towards his face.

The Ancestor was about to lean backwards to avoid it when…

BAM!!

I abruptly twisted my left arm to change my uppercut midswing to become a straight left. And not just any straight left.

I had also manifested a huge mecha arm which extended my reach by an incredible 1 meter!

There was no way he was gonna avoid my surprise attack.

Ancestor or not, even if he was an ancient neanderthal, he would eat that attack of mine.

"Ooof!" The Ancestor grunted heavily as my mecha arm connected and sent him flying away.

"Little bro!" Bruce cried out in surprise. "You.. You actually landed a hit on Ancestor?!"

"Wow! Well done! How did it feel? Oh my god, I've always dreamed of the day I could land a hit on him like that… To think that an unskilled, untrained newbie like you could do what so many skilled warriors couldn't? Amazing!" Jeanette was practically gushing with glee.

"Well done! Well done indeed. But I can't help but wonder, did the old man… finally let his age catch up to him? Did he get soft on us?" Bruce muttered loudly to Jeanette.

"Maybe. Hey, do you think we should challenge him to fight now? I think…"

"Why not?" The Ancestor growled as he suddenly appeared before us in a blink of an eye.

"Gulp. I think that's exactly what someone stupid and out of his mind would say! Hahahahahaha!" Jeanette laughed inelegantly and took a few steps backwards.

Although the Ancestor appeared as though he was teleporting to me, he was actually executing powerful movement techniques. Horrifyingly complex techniques which did not escape Bruce and Jeanette's notice.

With such powerful movement techniques, he would be able to eat Bruce and Jeanette up for breakfast, lunch and dinner anytime.

Of course, in his fight against me, he was merely taking it easy on me and dodged my painfully newbie attacks with the bare minimum to avoid getting hit. The only reason I managed to land my attack on him was simply because I had done something which his brain wasn't able to factor in and thus avoid.

But whatever the reason, I landed a hit on him.

"Drink it now." He tossed the vial to me. "You should be strong enough to resist the pain."

I caught it with my left hand and studied it carefully.

"What does it do?" I asked him.

"It's a Gene Optimizing Serum." He said, as though it was all the explanation he needed to give.

"Oh! The damned old man, I mean, Russel Whitefrost promised to give me a Gene Optimizing Pill as well. Is it okay if I drink this and eat that pill as well?" I asked in surprise.
