The Undying Mecha Emperor

It felt good to be back at the academy.

Really good.

My short "field trip" might have started out as an incredible adventure, trying out new blueprints and designs, then fighting against giant, ugly worms, but it sure as hell didn't turn out as one.

Yes, the harvest for me was especially bountiful, all things considered. I was probably a pretty solid designer of mechas and weapons by then, thanks to the many designs gifted by the Ancestor and the Horse Gavarels, and the resulting sublimation of my mind.

I was also incredibly full after devouring so many biomechs, and even the physical bodies of two Horse Gavarels. Add to the fact that I had received a "Royal Blessing" or something that cleansed my body from every bit of impurity within it, I was the very embodiment of life and health at its peak.

And yes, I was also incredibly ecstatic that I had not one, but two new experimental mecha cores in my possession, and one was even being devoured at a rapid pace.

But all those gains were very much overshadowed by the massive, massive threat of a potential alien invasion from within the earth itself, and from the outside universe.

The sea civilisations would be invading us soon. They were probably set back by quite a bit with the utter destruction of the Horse Gavarels and the missing energy core called Clone.

And the Ancestor would also probably get the blue dragons to hinder their progress as well.

But all in all, their eventual invasion was set in stone. The blue dragons would not be able to hold back millions or even billions of underwater beasts from rising out of the ocean.

A war would take place, and it would be extremely bloody.

And it wasn't even the worst thing about the war. The worst thing was that the war was very definitely being orchestrated by an alien mind. And if so, then there was a chance that if the invasion by the ocean civilisations failed, the aliens would take action themselves.

This fact was further evidenced by the presence of a prone-to-fainting Princess of Shra-Gaz Kingdom who was able to wield strange but powerful life energy.

The thought of these two things was enough to send anybody into the brink of depression.
But was that all of my worries? Of course not. I still had the Americans and the Europeans to worry about.

War was about to erupt between the superpowers too. Tensions had never been higher with the death of the European High Ambassador within the Chinese Federation.

And with their discovery that the Chinese Federation was already capable of non-nuclear platinum grade explosions, and with the disappearance of the American golden mecha, it would be extremely strange if war among us did not break out within the year.

But as fearsome as the coming days would be, it was all still in the future.

At that moment, watching my bunkmates calling me a "traitorous bastard" and then shamelessly chomping on my gifts, I could feel a sense of belonging and of being home that I never thought I would be able to feel.

These were my friends who had accepted me for who I am. Although they did not really know much about my true powers yet, they have accepted me as a person, and although it might sound like mumbo jumbo bullshit, it was enough for me.

"Let future Justin take care of future problems!" I thought with a grin.

"You guys are out of your damn minds. A traitorous bastard spirit turns up and gives you all pills to eat, and you eat them up like candy? Do you guys even know what I just gave you…" I asked them with a sinister look on my face.

At my words, Roland Hu's eyes bulged and he stopped chewing.

Jack Yang's vigorous chomping slowed down considerably.

But Barrick Rui, the one who called me traitorous bastard spirit first, continued to chomp on his pill without stopping.

"Keep. Chewing." He gestured at the other two. "Pill. Efficacy. Maximum."

And then they both resumed their chewing at full speed.

I laughed and went on to plop down on my bed with a satisfied sigh.

For a minute or two, the only sound in the room was their vigorous chewing.

And then…

Gulp.

Gulp.

Gulp.

The sound of them finally swallowing their pills.

"They were sex change pills, by the way. You three will become cute little girls in about three… weeks? Maybe a month." I said casually.

I immediately heard a sharp intake of breath.

That's Roland Hu.

Then a soft click of teeth in consternation.

Jack Yang.

And a bored but contented sigh with pats on a fat belly.

Barrick Rui.

"For real?" Roland Hu swung his head down and looked at me with a deep frown on his face from the side of his top bunk.

"Uhuh. I gave it to you guys so you can use it on Farrel and the other idiots. But alas… You three were the bigger idiots! You guys actually ate them without asking me what they were first!" I said with a dramatic sigh. "But that's okay. I don't mind having more girls around me. Roland, I'll call you Riley once your become a girl."

"No way… I don't believe you!" Roland Hu shouted at me. "Barrick, he's lying, right?"

"Of course not. I've always wanted to be a girl. As soon as I saw those sex change pills, I knew that I had to take them immediately. They are so rare you know! And of course I didn't want to become a girl by myself, that's why I urged you guys to finish chewing those pills properly." Barrick Rui said lazily.

A choking sound could be heard from Jack Yang's bed.

"Just relax and enjoy the process. It won't hurt until the balls and the penis actually fall off. And oh, also when the vagina slit is actually formed. I heard it would hurt like crazy, much worse than getting stabbed by a sword." Barrick Rui added.





"No way! You're lying!!" Roland Hu shouted in horror.
