The Martial Unity Chapter 3612: Lightfeeder

From within the hole erged a fleet of humanoid robots like bees erging from an opening in their hive. Each humanoid robot was much larger than that of a regular human, even if they were shaped with Martial anatomy in mind.

Their chests bore the crest of the Kandrian Empire.

VMMM...!

They erged from the wormhole in large numbers.

Larger numbers than even the other Martial Artists of the Kandrian Empire could imagine.

Hundreds and thousands of CHAs erged from within the wormhole as their propulsion systems allowed them to hover in the air, as the rest of their allies erged from the world bridge.

VMMM!

The hum of their engine-cores shook the heavens as the CHA Martial Artists projected a trendous amount of power collectively.

They were stratified into different layers based on their Realm.

Nearly ten thousand CHA Martial Artists, most of whom were CHA Apprentices, while nearly a thousand were CHA Squires, nearly a hundred CHA Seniors, and only a dozen CHA Martial Masters.

The sheer amount of power they projected shook the world as their man and machine were combined in their power. Even the fanatic tekvores felt the air tingle with peril as the powerful machines grew increasingly intense with the energy that they mobilized.

The Martial Artists fighting the tekvores were almost as shocked as the tekvores themselves. Many of them hadn’t interacted with CHAs as much because of how different they were from normal Martial Art and the fact that they were always segregated from normal Martial infrastructure due to drastically different and greater infrastructural support needs.

They knew CHAs had progressed a lot, but they simply hadn’t been exposed to the extent to which they had progressed, even during the Beast Incursions, where each Martial Artist had no leeway to study what was happening with other forces.

Beholding the fruits of eighteen years of progress, multiplied by the manifold, suddenly culminate and present themselves in front of them in this manner was truly shocking.

Compared to the clunky and clumsy movents of the original set of CHAs, the CHAs before them moved with the fluidity, precision, and accuracy of their own bodies. The enhanced neural interface that the Esoterist and the Psycher had developed together relied on not just electromagnetic sensor technology to read brainwaves, but also on cranial implants to stimulate the sensory region of the brain with light pulses to essentially directly implant information into the mind.

This vastly increased the speed of communication between man and machine, as well as increasing the bandwidth, causing a huge breakthrough in the viability as CHAs as a combat platform.

RUMBLE

The CHAs at the very forefront flared a Martial Embodint that washed over the entire world.

Martial Embodints that embodied the CHAs themselves.

"Attack."

A single command erged from the CHA Commander.

"Show them the power of CHA Martial Art."

RUMBLE!!!

The world shook as the CHAs charged forth towards the tekvore with a violent montum, unleashing a trendous amount of destruction upon the entire world.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!

"Rgh...!"

"It’s a bunch of dwarven chs!"

"No... those aren’t dwarven, those are Panaman! The Martial Artists have copied the lowly dwarves!"

In ordinary circumstances, that would have been cause for laughter. The dwarves were sneered at as weaklings who could not do anything with their own capabilities. But when the terrifying machines surged forth, crackling with boundless power, they couldn’t help but grit their teeth and struggle to withstand the trendous pressure that the CHAs inflicted upon them.

BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM!!!!!

Each CHA Apprentice fought with the power of a Martial Squire.

Each CHA Squire fought with the power of a Martial Senior.

Each CHA Senior fought with the power of a Martial Master, even if only low-grade.

And most shockingly, CHA Masters took on ascendant tekvores who could fight Martial Sages.

VMMMMM!!!

The CHA Commander surged forth towards Argenton himself, who simply sneered at the machine.

"You have inherited the dwarven stain of cowardice by hiding yourself inside a machine, and yet you can’t even do it as well as them."

His giant light avatar swung at the CHA with trendous power.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!

Argenton’s eyes widened with shock as he watched the solid light composing his giant-size avatar of himself crumble, growing sucked up into the black fra of the dark CHA.

VMMM...!

The heavyweight CHA had a bulky body, covered in an intricate pitch black armor that didn’t seem to reflect any light whatsoever.

Instead, it greedily sucked up all the light that Argenton generated.

Not just that.

It sucked up all light from across the entire battlefield, turning the entirety of what a bright afternoon day into one of dusk.

"Your paltry light is of no consequence. My CHA was created to be your antithesis." A cold, electronically distorted female voice erged from the CHA as she throttled her machine to the very limit.

VMMM!!!

Argenton grew horrified as he watched his avatar of light begin to destabilize in the presence of the CHA Master. "What is this?! What is happening?!"

[Fascinating d[o_0]b. This is the work of an exotic form of matter that I do not comprehend.] NOVA mused with curiosity, completely apathetic to Argenton’s distress

"This..." Bodhisattva Maitreyi recognized the ’scent’ of the esoteric substance and its reaction with light. ’This is the esoteric substance that composes the Blood of Solaris.’

The Blood of Solaris was the national treasure of the Solaris Kingdom, allowing anybody who consud the substance to gain the ability to absorb light to fuel stamina and energy. Rui had consud it many years ago, giving him an absolutely trendous amount of stamina and great energy reserves.

However, the Blood of Solaris was simply an edible and assimilable form of the actual esoteric substance that was responsible for this power. The true, raw esoteric substance responsible for the light-absorbing effects of the Blood of Solaris could be found in the sands of the deserts of the Solaris Kingdom.

"Solarium."

This particular CHA, nad Lightfeeder, had been designed with the specific intention of becoming antithetical to Argenton and had been equipped with highly purified quasi-Transcendent-level Solarium extracts and potency, making anybody who wielded light against it utterly helpless.
