Chapter 124: Metagen, Powergen and Sparring (1/2)

Inside the Pocket Dimension, three 10-meter tall Metagens stood proudly before me. Just from the radiant shine when light hits the metal plates could inspire awe from whoever was seeing these giant machines with humanoid designs. These three were the tailor-made Metagens from the three Heroes of the World of Meta.

The one on the right is the Crescent Hurricane which Kazeyoshi piloted.

It's light-green in color and its build is that of a light-armored unit whose specialty is its mobility. It has long and lean limbs and a rather thin build. At the top of its head was Kazeyoshi's iconical crescent moon helmet and on both sides of its waist were a total of 6 giant katana for the Metagen's use. And despite its huge size, the way it moved could be said to be smooth as if the metal didn't have any weight. The joints were also put in the right places and covered with sufficient protection which allowed it to achieve this kind of movement. There are no other visible weapons from it which you would expect from a mecha like machine guns or artillery weapons. Maybe because it's a light-armored unit which relied on its mobility, Kazeyoshi didn't put that kind of modules or they're just hidden beneath the metal platings.

I haven't looked inside the cockpits to see how one can pilot it. However, I have touched each of them. I already got the gist on how they worked and how to pilot them.

It's like if they lend me their Metagens right now, I could Pilot it well enough to put a dumbfounded look on their faces.

Err… let's not do that. I still haven't assimilated the Meta Energy after all and I don't think it will work with another type of energy. There's probably a method of crafting which those from the higher world were using to have their equipment be used even by a Level 1 Energy.

Continuing, the Metagen in the middle of the three is the Crimson Valkyrie which Amry piloted.

Unlike Kazeyoshi's light-armored type Metagen, hers is a bit normal. It's crimson-red in color that was kind of sculpted into a feminine figure, especially the hips and chest. The metal plates were thicker and it moved a tad slower than Kazeyoshi's Crescent Hurricane. You could say its build is the average build of a Metagen. Its weapon is two short blades which are slung behind her covered by unfurled wings made of the same metal. There are also two giant guns holstered at its legs.

The last one was the Metagen in the right. The Silent Behemoth piloted by Matthew.

His Metagen is a heavy-armored unit. Its big black body build is almost two times thicker than Kazeyoshi's, of course, it's armor is also thicker since it's a heavy-armored unit. Its movement speed is slow but the strength it can exert is higher than the two of them. It has thrusters on its back but I doubt it could last long in the air. Just like what they mentioned when Matthew introduced himself, he mostly fights on the ground, gathering boulders using his Terrakinesis and throwing it to any passing aircraft or airborne Metagens. It's throwing power must be too strong despite its thick build. Though he was known by using those boulders, there are weapons attached to it. A heavy machine gun as well as a rocket launcher which he probably rarely used. Its melee weapon is a huge Spiked Shield that was kept at its back that he could pull anytime. Yup. His weapon is a shield which he said that it's easier to hit someone by bashing it.

By this, they completed three different types of Metagen units.

A light-armored unit which sacrifices lower defense for swift attacks and mobility

A regularly armored unit that was average overall, be it attack, defense or mobility.

And a heavy-armored unit which sacrifices mobility for higher-powered attacks and defense.

After showing it to me, they then showed how they augment their abilities to their Metagens.

Kazeyoshi's Crescent Hurricane suddenly became a blur and it appeared 100 meters away from us along with the thunderous sound of wind while glowing in its light-green aura.

Amry's Crimson Valkyrie pulled out her two short blades, unfurled her wings and started to fly while her body started to emit a high degree of temperature before it burst into flames like a phoenix.

Matthew's Silent Behemoth willed for the ground they were standing on to crack and be pulled into him creating boulders he could throw and another layer of armor for his Metagen.

I stopped them when they were about to spar against each other while riding their Metagens. There's no point to it anymore. I only wanted to see how those Metagens worked.

After putting those Metagens back to its compressed sphere state, they then took out the other sphere which contained their Powergens.

Their Powergens were just a human-sized version of their Metagens. They usually use it on a smaller scale of battles which didn't involve Metagens such as reconnaissance or ambushes to unknowing enemies.

Of course, their Metagens and Powergens not only provide armors to them but it can also enhance their overall ability.

I tried sparring with them though. Once without Powergen and another with the Powergen on.

I defeated them in a 1 versus 1 match when they're not using their Powergen with a cost of a few Energy Stones due to the lack of Flux Energy supply. I didn't use the Orb of Enhancement nor Ailment. If I did, it's a definite loss for them in a matter of seconds.

After that, the next sparring session where they put their Powergen on started.

I immediately found myself into a disadvantage when my attacks such as Energy Explosion or Energy Slash couldn't penetrate their Regenium-coated Powergens.

Even if I managed to slash it open, they would just let their Meta Energy flow to the Powergen and it would regenerate by itself. Their Abilities were also enhanced by it due to the enhanced energy output which is a feature of a Powergen and a Metagen.

So after experimenting on most of my attacks on them, only when I shot them with Dispelling Arrows would my other attacks put a dent on their armors and send them flying away.

It's rendering the protection from the Regenium and Meta Energy useless for a few seconds.
