SON OF THE HERO KING



When Sol and Lilith walked on the street of Lustburg, this time no one was able to see them.

The advantage of his dimension was more than apparent when his companion was above the Duke's level and as such was not in danger of having their feelings completely inverted by his dimension.

Thankfully. he was sure that he would soon be able to control that function or he could simply use it during the war.

‘Honestly. If it wasn’t because I don’t want to reveal my card now. I could simply assassinate him.’

He could infiltrate Wratharis alone with Lilith and put him down. But this was dangerous as Sol did not know how strong the King of Wratharis was exactly and what kind of power the divine weapon of a country gave.

‘Well, either way, I need to spill blood to spill less blood in the future.’

Conquest usually and inevitably came with constant rebellion for a few generations. In the case of Wratharis, he thankfully had Setsuna so it would cut most of the job he had to do.

“Thinking hard about something?”

“Hum…”

Sol looked at the streets through the lens of his dimension and observed how people walked with happy smiles and no fear.

“I am just thinking about how great it would be if we could just end this in a one vs one fight?”

“Heh…It would indeed be interesting if it was so.”

Sol laughed, “Once I become emperor, I might create that rule. All the Kingdom under me will resolve their altercations through the fight of the high-ranked or the use of Champion.”

He knew that things were not so simple. If war was not fought by the citizen, they would have no sense of belonging to their countries.

Furthermore, since war could decide the fate of an entire country, it was necessary to have the citizens fight for it.

But to all this, Sol simply said bullshit.

War was not surprising in his world since humans were all equal under the power of a gun. One-man shows were not possible.

But here, things were different. Armies were nearly obsolete at the moment someone of high rank appeared.

Even with the Dragons, one of the most powerful armies in the universe, without the Zone of the Four Dragon Kings, the might of the army fell considerably.

“It could be interesting. Do you plan to usher world peace?”

“I do not think I can create a world without strife and fight and death. But I can certainly create a world with no war.”

All he had to do for that was to cover the mortal realm with his dimension.

“Oh! You are finally here! Do you know how long I have been waiting for?”

When they finally walked outside of the wall, the two of them accelerated and it only took them a few moments to reach the place where the Secret dungeon was.

Outside of it was Theresa who was waving her hand excitedly. Her face was covered in sweat and she was wearing nearly transparent clothes that showed so much of her skin she might as well be naked.

While this might look pretty shameless, this was the state that allowed Theresa to be as close to the fire as possible for her to feel the change in temperature down to the smallest decimal.

This might not be important for most but for a masterpiece artisan like her, even the smallest details were important as they were the difference between something common and a masterpiece.

But none of this mattered to Theresa at this moment. She was simply too excited

"Follow me!"

She did not even let Sol and Lilith the time to greet her as she was already pulling them forward towards the depth of the dungeon.

"With how happy you are, I guess you have very good news for me."

"Hehe, you dumped a shit load of work on me and all I had was an old assistant that came out of nowhere. Do you know how hard it was ?"

"Sorry. While we do have good crafters, most of them are in relationships with other countries and we mainly import our weapons from Greed."

"Humph! Anyway, thanks to my genius self and after tweaking a few of those golems I was able to create my lab assistant so it isn't a problem. Also, I gotta say, those old dwarves were great."

They reached the end of a wall and a door opened for them leading to an elevator.

Pushing one of the buttons, the elevator began to bring them down to their destination.

"While working on the golems, I realized that reproducing them will be hard. Many of the materials used on them can only be found in Southern Pride and a few regions of Wratharis.

As if it wasn't enough, the cores were created using some bests that are now so rare they might as well not exist."

"Milaris said she would be able to mass produce soon?"

"Obviously. Her power is very suited for this but in the end, it will just be an inferior version. Still good and powerful but honestly not what I want. Such goods are not worthy of my genius."

She shrugged. She was generally very unassuming, but Theresa had a very high pride in her skill.

She simply generally didn't like to show off to people not worthy of her attention.

"So I innovated." Her voice became high pitched and rose an octave, "Using the blueprint you got and using my genius, I managed to create a new version more streamlined of those golems and with a very important use."

"Oh? You intrigue me."

"As you should. So let's start with a little quiz, do you know what is the most disadvantageous thing for humans?"

"Their weak bodies."

Lilith was the one who answered with no hesitation. Though her current body was different, it didn't change the fact that she trudged on the battlefield for years with a below-average body.

"Bingo! Humans are weak as hell. They can become strong. Broken even. But no pure humans can go against the inherent weakness of their bodies. This is why humans rely on armor and weapons more than others."

This was the sad truth. Even now as winter was approaching, the human army will be severely hindered by the cold and snow.

Much more than the war beasts.

"So. I always wondered. What if humans had a way to protect themselves? But that's just armor. This wouldn't change anything fundamentally. But then, it came to me, like a light illuminating the darkness, a brilliant idea flashed in my mind."

Ding!

The elevator finally stopped and the gate opened, revealing more than twenty Golems standing in rows.

Those golem though, were different from the one he remembered.

They were sleeker and sharper and their shape was more humanoid and they were all open.

Almost as if…

'No way…'

Sol thought with disbelief as he watched those armors. The picture of a certain Genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist flashed in his mind for an instant and superimposed on Theresa, giving him the impression that he was having an illusion.

But Theresa's following words made him understand that he was not dreaming.

"Let me introduce you to the first generation of Magically Engineered Controlled Human Armors. Or

M.E.C.H.A for short. Though you can also call them Power Armor."

Once again, Theresa was about to create a revolution.
