Chapter 338 - The World Falls Silent
Eagle Federation.
Inside a certain research institute in a lifeless town, a young man with short brown hair, a face full of freckles, a mechanical prosthetic limb, and even a mechanical eye received a video call.
On the screen was a blurred figure. Whatever the other party said, the freckled young man responded with a look of disdain.
“Tch, I told you long ago that Pari is trash. All he does is rely on his connections to bully people, turning the association into his echo chamber. Yet, he has no real strength himself. Now look where that’s gotten him. Jack is also trash, stupid enough to get tangled up with Pari. No matter what happens to them next, they brought it upon themselves.
“What kind of time is this to still be focused on internal strife? Anyway, I accept your invitation. I could use the federation’s power anyway,” the mechanical youth said.
“Mr. Oub, we will assist you.”
Oub, the cyborg of the Eagle Federation, turned his gaze to the mechanical laboratory and shook his head.
He still couldn’t comprehend the mindset of these politicians. He had once ventured into an ascension realm based in the Mechanical Era and witnessed the peak of the Stellar Moon Federation.
During that period, even a child could control mechanical familiars and wield immense power. An ordinary person with no combat ability could intimidate Legendary beings simply by pressing the button of a forbidden weapon. It could be said to be the peak of human civilization on the Stellar Moon Continent.
Precisely because of this, that ascension realm was extremely difficult. All trial participants from Blue Planet were wiped out, and Oub himself lost an arm and an eye during that time.
However, Oub returned from his crushing defeat undeterred. Although he failed the ascension mission, it didn’t mean he gained nothing from the mechanical civilization. With those insights, he devoted himself day and night to researching mechanical familiars and eventually evolved an Overlord mechanical familiar.
