Chapter 118: I Still Got It

*Flashback*

Loki POV

"Shit, can't believe that we all slept without anyone on the lookout." Brie cursed

"That's our dream, isn't it?"

"Don't sound too much like a smart ass now, Luke."

"Thank you Brie."

Weird calling her that but she's adamant and her nickname of me caught on so the 3 are now calling me Luke as we discuss our plans while we eat our breakfast. Lucifer as Lucy, Alex, Brie...a weird group since we barely know each other.

"Feels nice, but let's see how long till they get us." Lucifer said as he slurped his cup noodles "Ah man, food taste so good when I finally get to chew them."

"At least circulation run fast for monsters like you, I wouldn't be able to feel anything after being restrained for so long." Alex complained "So we first have to find a ship to Australia, but security is going to be tough as they're looking for us 4 runaways, after Australia, Indonesia and we head for Singapore, we then find a way to contact the Swiss embassy."

"I'd argue we don't go this route." Lucifer spoke up "You see..."

*****

After the short meeting, Lucifer asked me to meet him in the bathroom in private as the other 2 continued to rest. He then took out this small case and opened it to see this syringe and a vial with a white liquid inside.

"Give me your arm." he requested

"What's that?"

"The success of my suffering." he answered "Unlike everything else, this hasn't been uploaded into anything since there's a chance of leakage, the physical file was in the vault and I melted it, I overheard everything and know a lot.

"It will take a while for you to awaken it, but this have the ability to help override your genes and it will be a while till you also have my abilities, I'm gonna trust you with the sole copy of my ability in case anything goes wrong, it's a waste to destroy it, so I'm entrusting it to you."

Perseus POV

I don't know how, but...I then focused on my finger and sure enough, despite not having any magic, it lit up in a bright white light. It seems that this mutation stayed with me somehow even though it's not supposed to be a part of me that got passed through over here too.

It seems that what I heard in that dream was true. This mutation isn't just a simple DNA mutation, but for now I just forget about it and head to the desert. I then opened the book and sure enough...

'Phase 2: Killer Robot'

Cool...I won't get into the details as it's pretty much as the name described, and it was supposed made this way as a way for Buddy to get properly used to his powers with a good training partner, not impossible to take down with Buddy though.

"Stop being jealous of the fox please."

"That's because you haven't gave me any attention." Leilah pouted and turned away

"You can sort of think of him as our child even though he's technically older than me."

"A child means they're going to be your number 1 priority, I don't like that." she complained "It's supposed to be wife, mistress, and pet in that order, wife always on top."

"You're not my wife?"

"Then what about the term waifu?"

"They're used by delusional people who's down bad for fictional women, our readers are one example, heck I am one of those people, don't follow our example. Besides, don't use those words when we meet the heroes again, they'll know who I am."

"But you still should prioritize me, why is he allowed to sit on your lap and eat dinner while I can't?!" she demanded

"Because if it's with you, it'll be inappropriate?"

*****

I head to the group of mage creating a large barrier over the scene to contain the mecha and it seems like they're the most important group in all of this with a rotation of including two 9 star mages at all times.

The mecha is super tough and strong, but it seems that despite its fluid movements, it doesn't seem to have a lot of variety in the moves, well it wasn't 'programed' that way, I guess, because either way, it's going to like go away in a month or so since the deterioration is set as observed by the archeologist to stop it from killing too many people especially in the case of it going insane and leaving the desert as a whole.

I can then hear the chatter of people from far away over the appearance of the red rose who can deal with this problem with some help, well with Reiner here and all the forces gathered, no matter how tough that shit is, it's going down. Reiner is apparently working his way past the 8th star, so this is good for him.

"Tch, why don't you go sleep somewhere and leave the rest to those of use?" Rowan said as soon as he got close

"Ok, bye."

"Wait, why are you actually retreating like a coward?!"

"Your sisters can help while being several km away from me, besides, aren't you chasing me away for being a liability?"

"Yeah, but you're supposed to offer to help in anyway you can like any regular person, not be a dumb lazy prick. Are you actually scared of that thing and is going home to change your pissy pants or something?!"

"Why are you always having this attitude with me? You sassy lost child. Plus, pissy isn't an actual word and why would I be scared? There's no boss music to intimidate me."

"What kind of boss would make music in a fucking fight? You retarded or something?!" he retorted

"The boss doesn't make music, a real boss would be so awesome and terrifying that the background will make music on its own."

"What kind of boss monsters have you met that even do that?! None!"

"Have you not ever heard of the magnificent lord Dio?! He literally has a theme song every time he fights! You uncultured swine."

3rd Person POV

Reiner was done talking to the people in the area and he then head to Rowan's location to see the guardian fight with a white haired boy he recognized.

"Popcorn?" Ruka asked

"What are the both of them doing?" Reiner asked

"Killing each other before that giant can, it's funny."
