The sledgehammer was, of course, the hyper intelligent third child.
"Stop squabbling you guys! Look at daddy! There's something seriously wrong with him!" He roared with all of his little voice.
At that moment, as the AI's translation sounded lightly through the speakers within our exosuits, I could feel my heart drop like a mic drop from a raised stage down to the dance floor.
I winced and glanced at my big bro to see what his reaction was, but to my frustration, he was being a complete Bruce Pang.
There was no panic, no worries, just a Mecha God casually studying the dragons and his surroundings.
Thankfully for us, even though they were terrifying dragons that could easily rule the world with their matchless might, they were also like any family out there.
They don't pay much attention to their youngest kids.
Even though that smartass had raised the alarm over the strangely still Blue Dragon dude, the two female dragons were too busy glaring and roaring at each other to notice.
Even the two elder siblings of the smartass didn't pay any attention to him.
"Just proceed towards that direction and ignore them." Bruce Pang said casually and pointed towards the north where I could see a massive round stage of sorts somewhere in the distance.
"How?" I asked him in confusion. "Should I deploy thrusters? Or try and flap his wings to fly?"
"Deploy thrusters and also full armor." Bruce Pang said. "Don't mind the other dragons. You're the king of this place. Act like it."
"King? That I can do." My eyes brightened at the green light I was given to behave like a Lord of All.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhoosh. Whoosh.
White mecha grade nanoparticle armor formed around the Blue Dragon as well as two massive thrusters that could swivel on its side.
VROOOOO!!!!!!!
My thrusters exploded forth with great power and noise as I took off vertically.
"HEY! HUSBAND! Where are you going??" The concubine roared in anguish.
"Yeah! That's right! Just go and ignore this stupid slut! Go have your rest, dear! I have prepared delicious food back ho-..." The main wife began. But as she saw me maneuver the Blue Dragon towards the strange circle stage, she quickly changed her words. "Or you can go to your Circle Trove! Your favorite meditation elixir is there! Go and have some to get yourself some peace and quiet from this noisy slut!"
"Circle trove. Meditation elixir." Bruce Pang grinned at the incredibly juicy bit of information the main wife just offered up.
"If there is a circle trove, then there must be square, triangle, rectangle, star etc." I verbalized the bit of good news that was obviously blooming in both our minds. "And meditation elixir! Sounds like exactly what the Ancestor needs."
"It certainly is. I have read about the legendary meditation elixirs that the Russians found when they did their deep sea explorations in pursuit of maturing their biotech. The elixirs could strengthen the mental faculties of all who ate them by at least fifty percent. Permanently." Bruce Pang said excitedly. "Those elixirs are the only reason the Russians are still viable in this modern age. If not, their utter lack of technological breakthroughs would definitely have moved them down to being a third tier country!"
"And if we can feed the Ancestor these meditation elixirs…" I let my words trail as we zoomed across the grass plains towards the circular stage.
Although it was exciting to think about the idea of the Ancestor successfully enslaving a full grown dragon, we still had to figure out how to open the trove and get the meditation elixirs.
Unfortunately, Bruce Pang's luck seemed to be running out.
Instead of leaving the Blue Dragon dude in peace, the damned concubine slut decided not to let things go as they were!
"NOOO!! HUSBAND!! YOU MUST PUNISH THE OLD WITCH! I AM THE MOTHER OF YOUR CHILDREN!!" The concubine slut roared adamantly and chased after us!
"Ah damn it." Bruce Pang cursed.
"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT UGLY OLD WITCH!! YOU MUST BANISH HER FROM TH-"
SLAP!!!!!
I did not hesitate at all.
I turned around in midair by a series of extremely skillful maneuvering, and gave the noisy slut a tight slap on her face using my fully armored wings!
Crack!!!
I hit her so hard that several scales on her face cracked!!
For a few seconds, there was only a heavy and stunned silence from all parties, Bruce Pang included.
And then…
GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The AI translated emotionlessly.
GRAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Graaahhh!! Graaahhhhhh!!!!
"HAHAHAHAHA! Well done!!! Well doneee!!!!" The main wife shouted with great exultation.
"Husband!!! You… you actually slapped me!! Don't you love me anymore? I am the mother of your children!! The mother of your favored Crown Prince who carries 90% of your genes and your power!!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"HUSBAND!! You did well in slapping that stupid bitch! Here is the treasure you've been asking me for! Now that I know your true feelings for her, I have no worries in letting you make use of this Black Pearl for some time!! HAHAHAHA!!!" The main wife shouted joyfully and unleashed an aura of pure majesty for a few seconds.
Humm.
A Black Pearl of incomparable beauty the size of a human fist drifted from her open maw and floated towards me.
My resonance touched it briefly, and instantly my heart thundered wildly in my chest.
BA-DUMP!
BA-DUMP!
BA-DUMP!!
BA-DUMP!!!
BADUMPPPP!!!!!
The experimental red mecha core reacted violently within my heart as it sensed the Black Pearl.
There was no doubt about it.
The Black Pearl was another "experimental mecha core"!!!!
Yes, it was nowhere near as powerful as Devour or even Clone.
But it was on the same level nonetheless, and had its own extremely powerful effect, whatever that was.
"Is it what I think it is?" Bruce Pang asked with quiet disbelief.
"Yes. There is absolutely no mistaking the sense of absolute impenetrable-ness that I am sensing from it. It is an experimental mecha core!!" I replied with a slightly trembling voice.
