Chapter 1419: To compensate
The area was covered by dark ice, and the temperature of the planet decreased even more after the impact. To the point that even the machine god was unable to see or feel what happened to Rain and the weird creature. Considering the energy readings, it felt like none of them had been killed, and with a blast of that level, it was quite weird that Rain survived... The creature was basically made of ice, so it wasn’t surprising at all.
The machine god wanted to use his power to clean the area and confirm what was going on, but soon, the massive block of dark ice that covered an area of kilometers began to crack... like glass; the ice began to shatter in all directions.
The sound of the shards falling around almost sounded like a calming song that eased one’s heart, but Rain didn’t look like he found that sound that much pleasing... the machine god found him standing with his right arm completely messed up while the presence of the creature was slowly disappearing... It seemed that he had killed the creature, but he didn’t get any stronger.
"This is confusing. According to the reports, you should have gotten considerably stronger after this."
Rain clicked his tongue in annoyance while he was holding his right shoulder with his left arm. He was trying to heal himself as fast as possible, but the power of the ice of the creature froze the cells in his right arm to the point that even restoring them was getting difficult, and the process had gotten dozens of times slower... from a distance, it looked like Rain’s arm had become an ice sculpture.
"We understand how to make an organic body obtain Power by adding more information to it that would benefit the said body. Still, the ability to absorb that much energy from the enemies that you defeat apparently has a cap. This is a bit disappointing... I suppose it can’t be helped. There are things that are possible, and there are others that aren’t. I hope that one day, a race that can absorb energy better than yours will emerge. I should talk with the others to genetically engineer them using your people as a basis. Using all the data that you offered us, this should be possible. Anyway, I should at least honor you a bit by showing the power of the machine gods."
In the next moment, Rain suddenly felt a shiver... his gut feeling was telling him to run away as fast as he could, but he knew that he couldn’t do that. Their future depended on it.
While looking around, something weird soon began to happen... the red sky suddenly started to get dark... little by little, it got darker as if something ominous was approaching. Before long, Rain suddenly began to see a giant face that covered the whole sky approaching him and seeing him from above... at that moment, Rain couldn’t help but open his eyes widely in shock and let his mouth hang open.
After looking up at the sky, Rain saw a colossal humanoid face, its features etched from gleaming metal, looming ominously. This face was rather a daunting construct of darkness and mystery. Its metallic surface reflected no light, casting an eerie shadow over everything below.
