The Undying Mecha Emperor-Chapter 190 Damn You Old Man!

After a few moments, I realized that the enemies arrayed from the south were the thickest and gave out the most terrifying sensation of the entire bunch.

"That way." I pointed at the south. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

"Good." The Ancestor grunted in approval.

"Hehehe." I grinned and started to sneak my way towards that direction.

"I have but one piece of advice for you." The Ancestor said. "Attack where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected."

"Aren't I already doing that?" I grumbled at his cryptic words. "What the hell is this super advanced stealth mecha for if not so that I can appear where I am not expected?"

"You'll see. Just remember my words." The Ancestor said mysteriously.

"Okay, you definitely know something I do not. You better spill now, everything I don't know about the enemy jeopardizes this mission by that much!" I demanded.

But the Ancestor fell silent, and wouldn't say another word no matter how hard I asked and provoked him.

Finally, I sighed in resignation and continued to make my way along the ocean bed.

It was a very uneven surface. Massive rocks and ridges were everywhere, and because of that, I had a relatively easy time sneaking past the horde of Horse Gavarel Biomechs that were for the most part, distracted by my big bro's flashy fight.

Slowly but safely, I proceeded forward for a kilometer, then two, then three.

At three kilometers, I was already behind enemy lines. But I continued to make my way forward. My resonance was telling me that the strongest enemy was still ahead of me.

However, at that moment, the old man's words suddenly appeared in my mind.

"Attack where he's unprepared… He's very prepared here. Of course he is, he is in the middle of a capture operation. Appear where I am not expected… I am in stealth mode. He couldn't be expecting me here… could he?" I stopped for a moment to gather my bearings and check my surroundings.

I was descending into a massive ridge and there was absolutely nothing above and below me.

My next step would have brought me away from the side of the ridge where I would be crossing the chasm towards its other side.

Beyond that, my resonance was telling me that the most powerful enemy I had ever encountered was waiting for me just a few hundred meters away.

"I am in complete stealth mode. No bio sensor, heat sensor or even metal sensor can detect me in this mode. The only thing that can give me away is if they laid eyes on me. But I am surrounded by complete darkness here… so I should be appearing in an unexpected manner… right?" I pondered over my situation for a quick moment before deciding to throw the stupid old man's words out the window.

"Useless advice." I concluded rather sourly. "He's probably playing the part of a wise old man and felt the need to say something wise but completely irrelevant. What an arse."

With that thought, I kicked off from my perch on the side of the ridge, and started to sail across the chasm.

And directly into a massive air bubble.

BLAREEE!!! BLAREEE!!!!

My resonance started to scream at full blast as it suddenly detected a MASSIVE metallic form from beneath me.

"There's something within the chasm!!" I thought in horror. My mind raced at full speed. An air bubble and a metallic form? "A massive biomech!!"

And not just any massive biomech. It was one that could escape detection from my resonance!

All of the above pointed to only one thing.

Trouble.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

"Armor integrity at 97%." A rarely heard system warning rang out from my mecha.

Wait, not rarely. I had never heard that system AI say a single word before that moment.

"Huh? That's right, I have an AI assistant! Initiate scan! What the hell is attacking me? Talk to me damn it!" I shouted at my stupidly silent AI system.

I was in a weak mecha at that moment to minimize my energy signature to maintain perfect stealth. At that moment, I decided that the time for stealth had passed.

But before I could unleash my full power, the Ancestor cleared his throat.

"Erhm."

That simple act from him made me pause for a quick moment.

And it was all I needed to come to an insane but awesome conclusion.

I leapt back to the ridge as quickly as I could and made my way up, my stealth mode still completely intact.

GRRRRRRRRRRTAKTAKTAKTAKTAK 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

A strange and ominous sound drifted upwards from the deep chasm. My resonance was indicating that the massive biomech was making its way upwards.

It was a massive biomech serpent of sorts!

Apparently, its sudden appearance did not merely take me by surprise, but also the leader of the Horse Gavarels.

My resonance was telling me that the magnificent Gavarel Biomech was powering up and was making its way towards me!

"Come on now you ugly snake. Get out of your damn hole and let me hide on your body!" I muttered my plan out aloud as I gazed impatiently at the black chasm.

I needed to hide myself on it before the Horse Gavarel Biomech Leader appeared!

I figured that if I could launch a surprise attack on the Horse Gavarel Biomech Leader from the body of the snake monster, I would be "attacking where he is not prepared, appearing where I am not expected".

"Analysis complete. Substance identified as Dragon Saliva." The AI's voice rang out calmly.

"DRAGON SALIVA?" I shouted in shock.

GRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

As if on cue, the massive Dragon Biomech finally exploded forth from the chasm and gave out a fearsome roar!!

"Perfect!" The Ancestor couldn't help but shout eagerly.

"Damn you old man! You knew that there was a dragon here!!" I shouted accusingly at him even as I gaped at the wondrous sight of an adult underwater dragon appearing in all of its horrific glory.
