The White Heaven Fragment appeared in front of me as the light dissipated once the second factory was destroyed. Much like the previous one, it was very small, around the size of my fist, yet it contained incredible power within it. It seemed to slightly react to my own physique, though, slowly moving towards my body and seemingly wanting to fuse with it.

But I can’t let it do that; it is an important item, unfortunately.

“Sorry, but I can’t let you become part of my Physique... Ugh.” I sighed, feeling rather terrible about rejecting such a good offer; the fragment itself wanted to too! But if I want to be a nice person and help this world completely, I can’t let it do that. “Now, now, enter this Realm and rest for the moment.”

The small white cloud entered the Purgatory Portal and went to rest. The Nine Heavens of every Murim Worldline could be called living beings of their own; the Primordial Essence they carry is obviously special.

Ding!

[You have placed the [Bestia’s White Heaven Fragment (??? Rank)] x1 inside of your Purgatory Realm!]

[The Heaven Fragment is in a dormant state due to its lack of Primordial Energies.]

[Please gather Primordial Energies of similar elemental affinity to activate its powers and even regenerate its entire mass.]

I could only use the horns for one hour, though, and the time was running out for the quest, so we swiftly resumed our robot genocide. We rampaged across the caverns, with my ever-growing army of temporary Undead Robots, until we landed on the last factory.

This one had already prepared enough while the others were being destroyed. There were three layers of barriers: one blue, another green, and the third red. It looked well reinforced. The robots were also not going wild; they were all assembled into a gigantic army, most of them just waiting for us to get closer.

“They seem to have learned, but how? They weren’t there.” Fang Shuan said.

“It is as if they have become wary; they know our strengths and tactics.” Bael commented.

“It is because robots can communicate through their networks, created through their technological gadgets.” I told them. “If one robot learns something, it is quickly shared with everyone else. They rapidly evolve and adapt to the situation. And without doubt, they probably got one or two more of those Androids.”

“How do we proceed?” Agares asked. “Can those three idiots come back yet?”

“No, they’ll take a whole day to regenerate a new Manifestation.” I said. “Don’t worry, I do have a plan. For that, we’ll simply need to charge first; think later.”

“Wait, that’s your plan?!” Bael wondered.

“Hey, I am pretty strong, you know? And I got amazing equipment. We’ve fought two of those robots, but until they appear, we should simply lay waste to the robots here and break the barriers. If the factory is smart, it’ll wait until we are “tired” to send them off, like it did before.” I explained. “Also, my Specialization and my Labors can carry us to the end now.”

“Specialization?” Wondered Bael. “Wait, you got one?!”

“Yes, she did.” Nodded Agares. “That golden soldier she carries everywhere, Fang Shuan. He’s a byproduct of her Specialization.”

“I am! I am her soul-bound Holy Undead.” Fang Shuan said. “Young Master has a lot of talent and abilities, so please, stop offending her and trust her decisions.”

“It’s not like we got any sayings on all of this anyway." Agares groaned.

“Okay, let’s do this.” Bael nodded. “How do we proceed?”

“First.” I said. “Holy Undead, place your Holy Shields in front, fire your Beams of Light, and charge!”

I ordered the Undead robots to charge forward. Their mechanical souls tied to their “corpses” flared with holy light. Yes, they had something that my Specialization Ability detected as souls, giving me the ability to raise them as Undead.

I don’t know what it exactly was, but all these robots blue-colored cores had an essence inside, I don’t know if it was electromagnetic or magical, but that was something that resembled a soul, and I was able to wield it and control it to make them into Undead temporarily.

Of course, many of them have been dying, and once they fell, I was unable to raise them back to Undead again, so they were left as broken and shattered metal scrap and cables, which I still stored inside my inventory. You never have enough scrap!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

They roared in unison, rushing out and unleashing all matters of Martial Techniques. Mighty Golden Spear Arts, Golden Dragon Fists, White Crane’s Kicks, and more. Their techniques were all shared with their master.

With this very Skill, the Golden Emperor, Fang Shuan, pushed back a whole wave of over a thousand robots. And that wasn’t all at all!

“RAAAH!”

He landed in the middle of the army and started clashing against all the robots at once. His spear was piercing their bodies constantly. His movements were immensely fast and precise. Each of his blows was like an explosion of golden flames.

“SHAAAH!”

The robots were enraged, and their orders quickly forced them to do something they hadn’t done before. Electromagnetic circuits appeared around their bodies, forcing them to unify into metallic and chimeric giants, their bodies bigger than Fang Shuan, as their massive metallic fists descended over his body.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Yet.

YET!

“Is that all you have?!”

His body remained almost unscathed, his size slowly growing as a golden dragon's armor grew over his own metallic body. Maybe if he were a being made of flesh, it would have been easier to kill, but he wasn’t that different from the robots in regards to his composition.

“Then it is my turn! {Golden Dragon Spear Techniques}: {Rising Heavens}!”

“ROOOARR!”

His spear shone with the brilliance of the Yellow Heavens; a mighty roar reverberated as his entire Ki Aura surged, in the shape of a ferocious golden dragon, which fused with his spear technique—a single, piercing attack that moved upwards.

BOOOM!

The impact alone released a massive piercing wave of golden light and flames. The chimeric robots in front of him were pierced and then exploded into pieces, and the rest of the robots behind, at least two hundred, all died in a similar manner, their bodies melting over the ground.

“H-He’s incredible!” Muttered Bael.

“I-I am shocked as well... So this is the power of the Murim Worldline Warriors?” Agares wondered. “We’ve never invaded such a world before! And now, I feel glad I didn’t.”

“Well, this is thanks to my specialization ability, but yeah, he’s still really incredible.” I was proud of Fang Shuan. “He was probably like a thousand times stronger than this anyway; in his world, he was almost at the same level as a Venerable, though he never achieved the pinnacle completely because of the invasion.”

According to Fang Shuan, he had reached the last cultivation stage of his world, meaning that he was only beneath his own father in terms of power. And his father was the goddamn Venerable, and probably a bit stronger than the ones from Bestia, even.

“Well, let’s not slack ourselves either!”

I didn’t have time to sit down and admire his prowess, though. With both Gram and the Nameless Axe-Sword in my hands and my equipment effects activated once more, coupled with the giant pair of golden horns protruding out of my forehead, I charged forward like a wild beast with the rest of my Familiars.

The Primordial Yang Beast opened the way, his attacks unleashing devastating explosions of Primordial Yang Ki, purifying the robots and seemingly “cleansing” them out of their own energy, leaving them weakened. Meanwhile, Agares and Bael remained by my left and right sides, using their weapon techniques and superior demon aura abilities to protect my blind spots.

And lastly, Violet, Shiro, and Snow remained closer to me. Violet becoming gigantic and crushing foes; Shiro healing us from wounds and also casting small buffs; and Snow freezing and stopping foes from getting closer.

With both of my weapons, I spun around, leaping, descending, and then spinning again, exchanging my Skills, Martial Arts, and Techniques.

Eventually, both armies of robots were almost completely annihilated, leaving the factory exposed.

Let’s finish this!
