The Legendary Mechanic Chapter 1460 - Information Form Anchor (3)

Holy Accord headquarters.

Han Xiao arrived via teleportation. Amid the astonished looks from those around, he navigated the intricate hallways and reached Destiny’s Child’s containment chamber.

Destiny’s Child, immersed in the liquid, stirred awake. It approached the container’s inner surface and pressed a hand against it. Han Xiao grinned and aligned his palm with the exterior.

This occasion, an experimenter approached and inquired with curiosity, “Your Excellency Black Star, what instructions do you have this time?” “Set Destiny’s Child free.” Han Xiao pressed his lips together.

The experimenter froze momentarily and responded hesitantly, “Are you joking? Releasing it would make recapture extremely tough...”

“Release it.” Han Xiao shook his head.

“Uh... even though you’re a Holy Accord leader too, it’s preferable for His Excellency Beiger to issue the command himself...”

“No issue. I’ve informed him already.”

Han Xiao displayed Beiger’s communication and clapped the experimenter on the shoulder.

“...Got it.”

Though baffled, the experimenter complied. He shut down the information stabilization apparatus, stowed the holding vessel, and lifted every constraint on Destiny’s Child.

Finally out in the open, Destiny’s Child refrained from shifting to its high-dimensional information state to flee. Rather, it hovered near Han Xiao, gazing about with interest, seemingly startled by its liberation.

“You’ve aided me greatly. Freedom strikes me as an excellent compensation.” Han Xiao smiled, lifting his hand to reveal the Destiny’s Child emblem on its back. “Moreover, our bond is established. I merely wish for your assistance one final time...”

A brief mental link conveyed Han Xiao’s intent to Destiny’s Child. It gave a gentle nod, its form gradually transforming into high-dimensional information and vanishing entirely.

“This won’t cause trouble? Without restraining Destiny’s Child, if it sparks information state chaos once more, countless additional offspring will emerge...” the experimenter ventured.

“It’s fine—that’s precisely my aim.”

Han Xiao gestured dismissively.

A mental link now tied him to Destiny’s Child, enabling constant psychic exchanges. He aimed to leverage the informational ties between Destiny’s Child and its numerous progeny to weave a vast network, crafting a fresh information anchor.

Furthermore, Han Xiao harbored doubts about Destiny’s Child’s true nature. Since stepping into the dark side universe, he’d felt an indirect web with it... Intuition suggested Destiny’s Child transcended a mere Primal Esper Ability Entity.

“Should my hunch hold, Destiny’s Child possesses a unique ability framework. It likely shares a peculiar tie with the Dark Side Universal Consciousness—perhaps even serving as one of its unwitting manifestations.”

Han Xiao mused inwardly. He equipped the King and vanished.

A day passed, bringing us to the Supers Holy Land’s upper-level conference chamber.

Over a dozen Beyond Grade As filled the space, with Aurora occupying the head position, upholding her sibling-like demeanor. Her hair pulled into a ponytail, her softly rounded, refined features strained for gravity. “...I’ve gone over the latest reports. Your performance fell short of last quarter’s targets. Though the Supers Holy Land enjoys stability, we’re a young organization mere years old. Slacking off isn’t an option yet. I urge you all to treat your duties with utmost seriousness...”

Aurora maintained a stern visage while rebuking those assembled.

The session had dragged on awhile. She’d called this intimate gathering to motivate key figures against complacency. With Black Star absent from leadership lately, Aurora had shouldered the role extendedly. She’d garnered respect now. The attendees honored her words, enduring the reprimands in silence.

After her spiel, Aurora eased up and spoke more softly, “Okay, that covers it for now. Please return to oversee your divisions and pass on my directives. Meeting adjourned.”

The group acknowledged and departed.

Only then did Aurora loosen up, dropping her poised and efficient front. She muttered complaints about Han Xiao’s idleness and exited via a side door.

Once clear, Han Xiao’s remote projection materialized. He glanced toward Aurora’s exit and beamed contentedly.

Though Aurora played youthful around him, their ages aligned closely. Han Xiao delighted in her commanding, solemn air. She now exuded leadership presence, independent of guardians.

“No more the vulnerable girl requiring shelter...”

Han Xiao chuckled, shaking his head, then wandered off.

A faint melody drifted forth suddenly; Han Xiao traced it to the rooftop.

Feidin cradled Chen Xing; the pair enjoyed a rendezvous, fused as if bonded by super adhesive.

The Soul Swapper had long sundered their souls, yet unity’s legacy let them fathom each other’s traits apart. A single glance sufficed to divine thoughts. No emotional barriers persisted between them—just soul-deep harmony.

Han Xiao recalled Feidin and Chen Xing’s shared origin. Destiny seemed to guide their union, slotting perfectly into existence.

His path stayed untroubled over years, owing partly to Feidin’s fortune. Some accolades belonged to Feidin. “Tsk, true life victor...”

Han Xiao observed from distance and slipped away from the roof unseen.

Thoughts turned inevitably to Hila. Curiously, fate linked him to her too. His dark side universe debut forged their tie. Foes initially, they’d since allied enduringly.

Mind shifting, Han Xiao reached Hila’s dwelling, erected adjacent to the elite training facility. Peace notwithstanding, her regimen persisted.

Hila completed her initial training cycle and emerged. Entering her quarters, a bizarre skeletal creature—dog-cat hybrid—leapt upon her.

Hila’s typical stoic expression softened to affection. She scooped the tiny skeleton, caressing its glossy pale bones. It lounged blissfully in her embrace.

Han Xiao cocked his head in astonishment. Hila keeping a pet marked a novelty for him.

This companion appeared eerie to him, yet to death-wielding Hila, the skeletal critter likely charmed. Beauty resides in the beholder’s gaze, as they say.

Watching Hila fondle her pet leisurely, Han Xiao sensed oddity.

“Pet-keeping doesn’t fit her style...”

To him, Hila embodied unyielding chill. Strength her sole pursuit, she shunned frivolities, repelling others. A pastime humanized her now.

“Positive change. She’s discovered life’s joys at last...”

Han Xiao pivoted and departed.

He roamed the Supers Holy Land, eyeing Beyond Grade A existences. Numerous ones, fight-free, pursued vocations. Tranquility long absent now enveloped most. Swiftly, Han Xiao hit the commerce sector, alive with activity. Executives lined up in the office for Sorokin’s guidance.

Peering closer, Sorokin glowed subtly in revival mode, vibrant and spirited, methodically plotting enterprises.

Sorokin’s helm propelled Supers Holy Land’s economy skyward. Rejuvenated professionally, he shone on his ideal platform.

Soon, Han Xiao toured every section, landing at the plaza adorned with all Beyond Grade A effigies.

His eyes roamed the monuments, decades of shared sagas replaying mentally. Through his and peak Beyond Grade As’ toil, scattered talents forged a unified interest bloc. Supers Holy Land offered sanctuary, testament to their labors’ harvest.

Grudges lingered among some, yet these hundreds of figures stood for decades-long battle-mates. Comrades in arms, ultimately.

“Partners, one might say...”

Han Xiao shut his eyes, sensing faintly a novel information anchor forming. He spun and withdrew.

Simultaneously, Supers Holy Land’s Beyond Grade As all stirred, peering toward Han Xiao’s vanishing point.

Half a day on, Han Xiao intruded upon Mechanical Race domain.

No unknowns to Han Xiao’s stature among Mechanical Race; they received him warmly.

A youthful Mechanic hosted, escorting Han Xiao to quarters.

“Your Excellency Black Star, what brings you?” The young Mechanic queried eagerly upon seating.

“I’d like to see Manison, reminisce a bit.”

Han Xiao grinned.

Of fellow Beyond Grade A allies, Manison stood uniquely.

Decades of ‘romance’ bound them; Han Xiao ‘acquired’ myriad Manison talents. Thus, Manison held singular esteem in Han Xiao’s regard. Anticipating a fresh Information Form Anchor from him, Han Xiao visited.

Yet the youth declined, head-shaking.

“Apologies, Your Excellency Black Star. His Excellency Mechanic Emperor enters extended seclusion for study. Visitors barred.”

“Even me?”

“Teacher specified, you in particular...” the youth answered warily. “Heh, no subtlety from him. Figured tensions eased.”

Han Xiao appraised the youth and probed,

“Manison’s disciple? Your name?”

“Permit formal introduction. Teacher took me on two years back. Marigo Morgan’s my name; I handle Mechanical Race matters interim. Salutations, Your Excellency Black Star.” He bowed courteously.

“New apprentice, no word to me.” Han Xiao marveled.

Manison disinclined to chat, Han Xiao promptly voiced departure.

At Moon Platform, pre-boarding for exit, Han Xiao noted a new Information Form Anchor birthed.

He glanced rearward into Mechanical Race heartland, smirking enigmatically. Sealing the portal, he ignited engines, plunging into void. Meanwhile, Mechanical Race depths.

Secluded Manison, tech-absorbed, lifted gaze through barriers toward Han Xiao’s path. Wordless, he resumed delving.

“Humph, pesky brat...
