Chapter 670: The Founding Emperor of the Empire's Means!
"This 'Supreme Imperial Arm' is actually this big..."
Historia, who had followed Im to the Ark's rear Deck, looked up at the giant Human Form Biological Gundam before her and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of her heart.
Compared to the Video Feed on the Virtual Screen, admiring it face-to-face like this was indeed much more shocking.
The sixty-meter-tall 'Colossal Titan' seemed huge to her.
But compared to this 'Imperial Guardian Mech', the 'Colossal Titan' was like a newborn baby next to an Adult who is one meter eighty tall.
In fact, the Biological Material of the 'Imperial Guardian Mech', which is the Body Size of 'Destarugul', wasn't originally this tall.
Its current Body Size is entirely due to the addition of a large amount of Crafting Material and Alchemy Material.
Coupled with the Founding Emperor of the Empire's personal preference and pursuit for 'Giant' size and 'Firepower'.
And the fusion of a large number of special grade Tyrannosaurus Eyes from the Destarugul Tribe.
At this moment.
Perhaps because it had lost its 'Pilot', the 'Imperial Guardian Mech', which had been extremely violent and frantically venting its Rage and Energy before, appeared very quiet.
Various Body characteristics from its Dragon Transformation, such as the Dragon Tail, Head, and Limbs' sharp claws, had returned to normal.
However, Im could clearly feel that the Tyrannosaurus Consciousness within it was still raging.
It seemed to possess endless resentment and Rage.
One could only say, it's understandable.
The Master-Choosing Consciousness in other Imperial Arms could only be considered the Biological Instinct that comes with the activity of Cell Genes.
But the Consciousness of this 'Imperial Guardian Mech' possessed a certain degree of emotion and partial Memory.
Therefore, it would also actively erode the 'Pilot's Will and Spirit.
In other words, to control it.
One must possess a Strong Will capable of suppressing the 'Destarugul' Consciousness.
The Founding Emperor of the Empire from a thousand years ago seemed to think that since he was so outstanding, his Descendants with his Bloodline would also definitely be outstanding.
So, he didn't impose too many Restrictions in this regard.
Or perhaps, he might have tried to impose Restrictions, but found that doing so would affect the 'Imperial Guardian Mech's Strength output?
So, the question is.
Im was thinking about how he should handle it.
At the same time, a high-speed rotating Qi-like Whirlwind condensed beneath his Palm.
As it rapidly spread, it instantly formed a light blue circular Domain, enveloping the entire rear Deck, including the 'Imperial Guardian Mech'.
He planned to first figure out its internal structure.
"Scan."
Im silently chanted in his Mind. A faint green Flowing Light appeared in his ripple-like Golden Pupils.
This allowed his indifferent Line of Sight, as sharp as Hawk Eyes, to easily penetrate the surface of the 'Imperial Guardian Mech'.
He saw the layers of structure, Materials, and Energy flow inside.
Anyone within the range of 'ROOM' was equivalent to a patient placed on an operating table.
In this Domain Space.
Whether it was Electric Charge, X-ray, or Gamma Ray, they would all be under the Control of the Ability User.
This allowed for the creation of various Ability Effects, which was very interesting.
Of course, one must possess the relevant Knowledge.
Otherwise, without Understanding as a Foundation, Devil Fruit Ability would be difficult to achieve such precise Effects.
However, the Manufacturing process of the 'Imperial Guardian Mech' included Alchemy, various Black Technology, and the Philosopher's Stone.
So, Im didn't expect to fully Understand these structures.
He mainly wanted to try and find the 'Philosopher's Stone'.
And also see the 'Destarugul's Mind Consciousness.
The former was disappointing; he didn't see anything that looked like a 'Philosopher's Stone'.
This indicated that the 'Philosopher's Stone' must have been perfectly integrated with the 'Imperial Guardian Mech' as an Entity, and no longer existed as a separate Physical Entity.
However, the Mind Consciousness was clearly visible.
Visually, it was a Tyrant Dragon Phantom Image attached to a massive Heart that was constantly beating powerfully and emitting a strange Aura.
Although Im still didn't understand why his Ability included the Mind Domain.
But right now, he only needed to know how to utilize it.
For example, he was now planning to find another Creature and transfer the 'Imperial Guardian Mech's Mind out.
He wanted to see if he could occupy the nest like a cuckoo and Obtain its Control authority this way.
"Eh, wait!"
Just then, Im realized he had misunderstood.
If the 'Destarugul' Consciousness within the 'Imperial Guardian Mech' had Autonomous Control, then it should be able to move on its own at any time.
But the Fact was, if no one entered its interior, it couldn't move at all.
What did this indicate?
It indicated that the 'Destarugul's Consciousness needed to indirectly Control its 'Body' through the 'Pilot's Consciousness.
So, swapping its Consciousness wouldn't make a difference.
In other words, this Tyrant Dragon's Consciousness was equivalent to the mech's intelligent AI.
Its Duty was to assist the 'Pilot' in using various Supernatural Abilities.
But it also had its own thoughts.
It always liked to interfere with and Control the 'Pilot's Consciousness.
"Since that's the case..."
Thinking this, Im gave up on the idea of transferring the Mind.
Then, under the surprised Gaze of Stussy, Historia, and others, he instantly disappeared from his original Position.
The next second, he reappeared inside the 'Imperial Guardian Mech's 'Control Space'.
"I'd like to see if it's really true that only the Imperial Royal Family can control you, this Tyrant Dragon."
Im coldly watched the ferocious Flesh and Blood surging from all directions.
He then watched as this dark Flesh and Blood rapidly transformed into individual small Tyrant Dragon Heads and elongated necks.
They were like thick, long Dragon-headed Pythons, opening their Gaping Maws and converging, looking as if they wanted to tear him, the Invader, to Shreds.
These were the Mental Phantoms created by 'Destarugul'.
They were filled with extreme negative emotions such as the resentment, Killing Intent, Brutality, and Fear generated when its Tribe was massacred back then.
They were quite similar to the 'Black Mist' in the 'Kabaneri World'.
Im coldly ignored these, his eyes piercing through layers of Obstruction, looking directly at the location of the 'Imperial Guardian Mech's Heart.
"Roar!!"
The Tyrant Dragon Main Body Consciousness on the Heart seemed to be strongly stimulated by his Gaze and immediately let out a Roar towards Im.
At the same time.
The Mental Phantoms around Im, which he had temporarily dubbed 'Dark Dragon Serpent', also began launching a dense biting Offensive against him.
For a moment.
A large number of roaring sounds filled this narrow Dark Space.
"Humph!"
However, as Im let out a cold, light Humph.
A Golden Aura, like Sunlight, poured out.
All the 'Dark Dragon Serpents' swept by instantly dissipated into wisps of Black Smoke accompanied by Screaming Cry.
Im began to Mobilize his Mind to attempt to Control the 'Imperial Guardian Mech's actions.
But after only a moment, it still stood quietly in place.
"It seems only the Bloodline of the Imperial Royal Family can truly control it. The Founding Emperor of the Empire from a thousand years ago... he certainly had a trick up his sleeve."
Im murmured softly.
He speculated that the Founding Emperor of the Empire had used the Strength of the 'Philosopher's Stone' to turn the Rule 'only my Bloodline can control it' into an 'Absolute Condition'.
This way, the Imperial Royal Family would forever possess the 'Imperial Guardian Mech' as a Trump Card, ensuring that Imperial Authority could be passed down through generations.
It's just a pity.
This Founding Emperor of the Empire overestimated his Descendants.
And he never expected the existence of something called a 'Protagonist' in this World.
As for the World Government and the Star Gate, those belonged to the category of 'Incredible Miracle'.
"Now it seems there are only two Choices."
Im instantly left the interior of the 'Imperial Guardian Mech' and reappeared at the Position where he had been standing before.
His Gaze was deep as he looked at this massive 'Biological Gundam', which was like a Mountain Peak.
"Either cultivate the Members of the Imperial Royal Family, making them possess sufficient Toughness of Will, and then have them serve the World Government."
"Or, find someone loyal to the World Government with a sufficiently Tough Will, swap their Mind into the Body of an Imperial Royal Family Member, and then control it."
"Or, do both simultaneously..."
