The Martial Unity

RUMBLE!!!

The world shook as the accretion disk revolving around the jet brimmed with all the power that it absorbed from the siege weapons of the Esocline Federation. The very fabric of space and time curled around the entire jet, causing it to gain an unworldly presence it. It bent light and energy in an orbit around it, exactly as a black hole would.

An unfathomably powerful high technological defense system.

WHOOSH!

In the blink of an eye, the accretion disk around the jet was dispelled.

The Martial Masters froze, gaping at the jet that simply hovered high in the air, towering above the Martial Masters and the Esocline Federation.

Not a single Martial Master could bring themselves to even move.

Not after the sheer invincibility that the giant aircraft had displayed against the siege weapons of the Esocline Federation. If the cutting-edge siege weapons of the Esocline Federation couldn’t so much as harm the unknown aircraft, then the Martial Masters didn’t stand a chance against it.

VMMM…!

The aircraft remained hovering midair in the sky as the very fabric of space and time beneath it were warped to keep it floating midair without any thrust. Its body was a jet black, with streaks of red running across its entire body.

At the very bottom of the jet was a strange emblem.

A coat of arms.

The coat of arms was blood-red in color and circular in shape, comprised of two crossed spears across a human skull.

A human skull with sharp canine fangs.

VMMM…

A door seemed to materialize at the very bottom of the otherwise smooth surface of the aircraft, spontaneously appearing out of nowhere. From within it descended a giant humanoid entity unlike anything that anybody on the Panama Continent had ever seen.

The Martial Masters widened their eyes with shock as they beheld the shocking entity descend from within the depths of the aircraft.

Its body was eerily humanoid.

And yet, its body was comprised of flesh and machine.

Its outer layer was comprised of a flesh exterior of epithelial tissue that was a pure white.

And yet, its eyes were cybernetic, glowing with an inorganic red light and whirring gears and countless other intricate components that shifted about within the depths of its eyes. Machinery protruding from within its body baffled the Martial Masters gazing at the entity descending from within the depths of the aircraft.

Two little glowing circles at the very center of its hands also hummed with power, sending chills across the skins of Martial Masters that beheld the extraordinary entity that was alien to their continent.

The very fabric of space and time quaked beneath the feet of the strange entity as it warped to support the humanoid entity as it slowly lowered itself from within the depths of its aircraft.

A giant circle of glowing white power shined upon the skin of its chest, brimming within power as streaks of glowing white grids ran across its already paper-white skin, giving it unfathomable presence and otherworldly visage.

The glowing white appearance of the humanoid entity contrasted against the darkness of the night sky—devoid of the moon that once used to illuminate human civilization in the darkness—giving it an unfathomable ephemeral presence.

Like it was an angel that had descended from another world.

The shape of its body was chilling human and masculine.

It seemed to have genuine muscles beneath its flesh along with an actual circulatory system that ran across its entire body.

And despite that, the unmistakable whir of machinery and technology could be detected beneath the surface.

They didn’t understand.

They didn’t understand what the entity was.

And yet, it wasn’t its shocking appearance that truly inspired raw terror within their hearts.

No.

It was the unfathomable and extraordinary power that emerged from an unknown entity.

Power unlike almost anything they had ever experienced in their entire life.

RUMBLE!!!!!

The world shook.

It shook under the weight of the strange entity’s extraordinary power.

It was the power of a Martial Sage.

BADUMP!

Within the depths of the strange giant, humanoid entity, a Martial Heart seemed to burst into power, followed by the familiar surges of power of the Martial Mind and even the Martial Soul, leading to an unfathomable surge of power unlike anything that the Martial Masters had ever felt.

A Martial Embodiment of great intensity emerged from within the depths of its very being, consuming the entire world around it.

What they saw sent chills down their spines.

They saw pure predation.

They saw the blood splatter when a predator consumed its prey.

They saw an unfathomable bloodlust.

The screams and the terror of its victims.

The fangs it buried into them.

It was one of the most eerie Martial Embodiments that they had ever seen. A Martial Embodiment that painted a despairing picture of what was awaiting them and perhaps all of human civilization.

RUMBLE!!!!!!

The world shook violently as heaven and earth boiled under the weight of the extraordinary entity. An unfathomable wave of seismic energy emerged from the humanoid entity, washing over the entire world through the very fabric of space and time.

Within the depths of its heart, an antimatter reactor began churning away with unfathomable power unlike anything that the world had ever seen. The antimatter-matter annihilations that the reactor generated an unfathomable tsunami of energy that collided with a layer of supercritical fluid that swiftly converted the extraordinary heat into pure force through its internal pressure, turning into mechanical energy that could be readily harnessed. The sheer power that the reactor generated far exceeded anything that they had ever felt from a singular entity ever before.

RUMBLE!!!!!!!

The Martial Masters simply stood there frozen.

Not a single one of them could even bring themselves to move.

How could they?

From the very moment that they sensed the extraordinary power of the human-like entity, they knew that they stood no chance.

“Do not let fear stay your step.”

The powerful voice of the Gatekeeper was charged with unfathomable determination.

His elderly eyes gazed at the strange humanoid giant, brimming with unfathomable power, that simply gazed at them with its inhuman mechanical eyes, almost as if it delighted to take its time and watch them crumble into despair.
