Chapter 154 - What A Sick Thought

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, as the battle progressed, Peter felt that something was wrong. Although No. 0 could control its mecha to resist the attacks from the Mecha Master, the two laser swords in its hands required energy to operate. As time passed, the two swords could no longer bear the burden of the attacks.

Thus, No. 0 used all of its remaining energy, causing the power of the laser swords to increase.

The two mechas collided again. Then, the distance between the mechas widened.

The Mecha Master used 100% of his power because he knew that this move from the other mecha was too powerful. If he didn’t use his full strength, he would be cut into two by the laser swords.

However, his two swords that were wrapped in a powerful sword aura fell and the expected collision did not happen. Instead, a mistake had happened.

The Mecha Master turned pale with fright. However, he had used too much strength and could not even change his move.

As a result, his two blades struck the ground ruthlessly and deeply.

At this moment, the mecha operated by No. 0 turned around and slashed downward with the sword in its right hand. Its laser sword cut off the forearms of the Advanced-Leveled Mecha. Then, it raised his leg and kicked the Advanced-Leveled Mecha to the ground.

The Advanced-Leveled Mecha lay on the ground with its head facing the sky. Meanwhile, the Mecha Master stared at the monitor in a daze, recalling the move that had been unleashed just now.

Just now, he was delighted to see his opponent going all out. Due to his competitive nature, he had lost his calm judgment of his opponent. If he had only used 60% of his strength in this move, he would have had the strength to dodge and resist.

However, he had been blinded by his own strength and had chosen to use his full strength. As a result, his attack had missed, leading to such an outcome.

“I’ve lost, so please kill me! Otherwise, I’ll self-destruct.”

After the Mecha Master finished speaking, he opened the safety seal of the self-destruction system.

“I really look down on you. Look at you, do you still look like a swordsman? Look at you, do you think you’re worthy of the sword in your hand?”

Meanwhile, No. 0 operated its mecha and mocked the Mecha Master.

“You… Can you insult a warrior just because you won?”

The Mecha Master was very angry and wanted to self-destruct.

This shocked Peter. He was not afraid that the self-destruction of the mecha would hurt him. Instead, he felt sorry for the other ordinary mechas. If they were blown up, No. 0 would have no energy to use.

In a hurry, Peter thought of a way. The person in front of him was from the East. If he remembered correctly, when there were no biological mutations in the world, he should be Japanese. Furthermore, according to historical records, Japan was a dependency of the United States.

Peter wanted to try and see if he could subdue the Asian in front of him. After the global mutation of creatures, there was no longer a country that called itself a country. Instead, countries had been replaced by Alliances.

“Mecha Master, leave your mecha and fight me. If I can defeat you, you have to become my soul slave.”

The Mecha Master was excited. However, he was happy because he had saved his life. Instead, he was happy because he had a chance to fight Peter.

Peter made this choice because he was interested in this Mecha Master.

Firstly, this Mecha Master was a warrior who was obsessed with the way of the sword. Thus, fighting and communicating with him would be very helpful in helping Peter develop his sword techniques and martial techniques.

Furthermore, this Mecha Master was a B-Grade Mecha Master. Thus, he could be considered a very outstanding combat power.

The main reason was that the Mecha Master was Japanese.

Firstly, the Japanese were very serious in their work. They were very invested in every thing they did. Their extreme investment in detail had reached a level that ordinary people could not understand. They called this pursuit of certain details “michi”, or “way” in English.

The Japanese called anything they did a type of “way”. Many of them spent their lives perfecting one thing.

This Mecha Master was a person who pursued the way of the sword. He would pursue the ultimate way of the sword throughout his entire life.

In the Japanese language, the word “warrior” referred to an attendant who constantly accompanied their master.

Warriors had to obey orders and not fear hardships. They also had to be loyal to their jobs and remain brave. However, this rule only represented their ideals. The loyalty and bravery of a warrior were built on a master-subordinate system with the feudal lord they were loyal to. Under this system, the feudal lord could reward warriors for their contributions.

Many historical records that mentioned these warriors came from a country called China, which was in the East. Then, people from Japan were sent to learn from these warriors. When these warrior ideals were brought to Japan, they were renamed as “bushido”, or “the Way of the Warrior”.

Many Japanese were loyal to people stronger than them and became their warriors. Once they became warriors, they had to be loyal and obedient to their master unconditionally. Even if their master asked them to die, they would carry out their orders without hesitation.

It was for these reasons that Peter came up with the idea of subjugating the Mecha Master as his soul slave.

The Mecha Master opened the cockpit door and climbed out. He was holding a very short knife. Then, he came to Peter and bowed.

“I accept your challenge!”

The Mecha Master pulled out the short knife in his hand. A cold light dazzled in front of Peter’s eyes. This was a good knife.

“Sorry!”

The Mecha Master held his knife with both hands and slashed at Peter at an extremely fast speed.

“Single Sword Style!”

The Mecha Master was much more powerful with a single knife than when his mecha had used two swords. In reality, using dual swords in actual combat were mostly just a smokescreen. In turn, there would be some deficits in terms of strength, power, and other aspects. In fact, the two swords might even interfere with each other.

However, due to the structure of a mecha being different from that of humans, the weaknesses of using dual swords would be decreased when attacking using a mecha. Meanwhile, the strengths of doing so would be magnified greatly. Thus, the Mecha Master used two swords when fighting with his mecha. However, after leaving the mecha, he still used a single knife.

The Mecha Master’s swordsmanship was incomparably ferocious. His knife was full of strength and was as fast as lightning. He attacked his enemy’s vital parts one after another. It was said that when this sword technique was cultivated to the limit, it could split mountains and shatter rocks.

Peter activated the power of the Thunder God in his body. As a result, this simple attack could no longer threaten his body. Thus, he accelerated to a high speed and delivered a punch.

Bang!

The short knife was cut in two from the middle. However, the cut on the knife was not caused by the ordinary collision of blades. Instead, it had been blasted into pieces.

The Mecha Master watched in despair as his knife was cut into pieces. Then, he sliced his neck. He could clearly feel the arrival of death. A moment later, his head would fly high into the sky, and blood would spray out from his neck over a height of more than two meters. His corpse would fall heavily to the ground, and his life would end just like this.

Meanwhile, Peter stood still, surprised. He hadn’t said anything, but the Mecha Master had killed himself in front of him. What kind of sick thought was that?

Peter felt that such a person was really sick.

At this moment, Donna’s anxious voice sounded from Peter’s earpiece.

“God of War Peter, what’s wrong?”
