[Chapter 123] Frustrating Errors

I stare in awestruck at the mass of shadows standing before me, it's large figure covering the moon. It leans forward and looks at me as it's mandibles click together, seemingly awaiting for something. I walk forward and hold my hand out as it stops clicking it's mandibles, staring at me with its bone white eyes.

5ft...3ft...1ft. I stand in front of it as I feel it's massive aura that could suffocate thousands. My hand touches its carapace as I rub it, 'This is.....awesome!' I think as I rub her carapace, the smooth black plating cold to the touch. I see a massive emblem on her head, a cat like slime with black wisps flowing off of it.

I suddenly hear a clicking sound and realize, it's coming from the queen. 'Guess she likes her head being rubbed.' I think as I rub it gently, causing its eyes to brighten even more. "Your my first World Class beast, I think I am going to name you. Hmmmm, how about Mayonaka?"

She stops clicking as she raises her head and screeches with joy into the night, causing the mountain behind me to tremble. I smile as she seems to really like the name. She slams down her claws as she looks at me with her massive frame, I walk forward and rub my hand against her head again, "You should sleep, I'll call you out when I need you."

Her excessively large form seemingly melts into shadows as she enters mine, causing it to grow in size by several folds before my shadow shrinks back down again. I nod as I begin to walk back to the base, replaying the epic scene in my head again and again.

After a long walk through the beautiful night, I reach the warehouse and look up at the door, I press a button to my side as the door shuts soundlessly. I walk back over to the core and look at its beautiful shade of green, specks inside seemingly frozen in the amber like substance.

I look at a holographic panel to my side as it glows with its light purple energy. I press buttons at inhuman speeds as tiny dots leave the ring holding the large orb, lights coming from each of them as they look the orb up and down repeatedly. I watch as the hologram shoots lights from it as a 3D model of the orb appears.

I see some red dots begin to form on the orb's 3D model as tubes and dips replace them. Metal tubes and parts begin to form on the 3D model as the orb becomes filled and covered with machines. Suddenly a large failed sign forms on the front as I inwardly sigh.

"I need to learn how to use runes, that would make this process so much easier. Let's run again." I say as I begin to form them again....and again....and again.

A few hours later.....

"Damn it!" I yell as I stare at the failed sign again in disbelief. "I have had no problems with the other designs yet this one is being a pain! Why can't I form an engine with this thing?! Is there something I am missing?" I ask myself as I walk back and forth but can't come up with anything.

"The problem isn't the energy containment, but it's actually an issue with getting the energy and transferring it inside the machine. I wish I could use a soul or a group of them but no matter how many I use, I can't power something this size. I can't use my modern tech as it isn't able to become small enough to fit inside the mech...."

I hear a voice from my side, "What are you doing this time mad scientist?" I look over to see a dreary eyed Winter riding the platform down. I sigh as I wave it off, "It's something very infuriating, I need a break." I say as I walk towards an empty area of the warehouse and take out the orb I used before.

I pour a soul into it as it pulses to life again and I throw it out like a baseball. It suddenly falls apart to dust as it rebuilds itself into the six legged nightmare mech. It is quickly grabbed by chains as it is held in the air, a black cord with white jagged lines hooks to the back of the mech as it glows with power, showing the cords use very quickly.

Winter sighs as Slime Winter crawls past her and onto my head, purring to try and ease my stress. I smile as I rub his head which gets a happy mew from him. Winter walks over to me and wraps her arms around me, bringing me into her embrace as she lays her head on my chest.

I hug her back as I offer to make breakfast, her smiles grows as she nods and let's go. We walk towards the bedroom but before we step on the platform take a right and push a door open. We enter to see a kitchen with a counter in the middle, and a stove on the wall, more counters and a sink on its side. But it is still matching the rest of the building's color scheme, a combination of purple, black, and white.

I grab 2 black pans and set it on the stove as I light it, a purple ring forming under it. I walk over to the fridge and grab some eggs, bacon, and butter along with a rainbow liquid in a container.

Winter sits down at the counter in the middle of the kitchen and looks at me while smiling. I smile back as I begin to make some eggs and bacon while talking with her.
