Feeding Negativity

Ves no longer questioned why the heavens saw fit to subject the Elegant Rage to a lightning tribulation.

He severely underestimated the potential of Emperor Wood. The modified ebony wood that made up much of the mech frame of the Elegant Rage apparently retained a lot of possibilities from the former calamity tree!

Even when the Emperor Tree was already dead, his wood still carried his highly mutated DNA and other remnants.

The Elegant Rage only needed to activate the hidden legacies of the calamity tree in order to take on the form of the once-mighty Emperor Tree.

Even if the Woodsap mech was too weak to 'simulate' the full splendor of this powerful organism, the ebony tree form enabled the machine to gain the size as well as the effective combat power of a small juggernaut!

This was an amazing amplification of power that no one expected to witness from what looked like a strange second-class mech on the outside!
