## Chapter 316 – 31.RK…(10)
The words spilled out reflexively.
Even I was surprised.
‘Is it really…okay…?‘
I blurted it out and then flinched.
This is my real trump card.
If this disappears, it will be difficult for me to dream bigger than I do now.
But even so,
I felt like I could reveal it to the woman in front of me.
At least, that’s how I felt right now.
‘Yeah…. What more perfect timing could there be? The fact that Militerris is entering the development of 9th generation mecha, and even 10th and 11th generations, sooner rather than later, is ultimately beneficial to me.’
Because we’re family.
Gominyeong and I.
And all of our Go family,
Because we’re family…!
“Mooyeol….”
Gominyeong, in my arms, flinched.
I wondered what she was thinking; her blush deepened as she kept glancing at me.
“You want…to be alone…? You’re really…uncontrollable….”
“Huh?”
“Do you…want to that much?”
No,
That’s not it….
“Ahem, it’s not like I wouldn’t if you wanted to…. But I think a bed would be more comfortable, don’t you?”
“Th-that’s not it. I, I really have something serious to tell you….”
“Seriously?”
The CEO’s aura seeped into her 100% sweet demeanor by 20%.
A cold and calculating look settled on her face.
“You’re saying you have something serious…to tell me, just the two of us?”
“Yes….”
Gominyeong looked around for a moment.
There were many secretaries and employees here. It wasn’t a suitable place to have a secret conversation.
She looked up at the roaring mecha.
Baekseol’s personal mecha, so tall it felt like her neck would break, was emitting steam from all over its body, preparing for takeoff.
“Then let’s focus on your toy for now.”
“Excuse me?”
That was unexpected.
I thought she would dismiss the people right away and listen to me, but she wanted to talk later.
I thought Gominyeong would immediately get rid of the secretaries and listen to what I had to say.
Honestly, I still have some hesitation, and I don’t know what will happen when time passes and I come to my senses.
I want to tell her while this feeling of inspiration lasts…!
Gominyeong put her hand on my cheek.
Unlike how she treated others, her hand was warm.
“You don’t talk about important things with such a rushed and anxious face.”
“H-huh…?!”
“Are you sure it’s something you can really tell me?”
“M-Minyoung….”
“Think calmly and decide. I’ll wait.”
*Chu.*
She kissed my forehead and stepped back.
I was stunned for about two seconds, then kissed her with an irresistible impulse.
“Mmmph!”
She didn’t resist and accepted it.
A hot kiss while holding each other tight.
But it didn’t last long.
There were too many people watching, and if we went any further, I really wouldn’t be able to hold back.
“…I’ll definitely tell you later.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Definitely.”
I made up my mind.
I’m going to tell Gominyeong about RK-99.
And I’ll discuss what to do after that with her.
Maybe I’ll produce basic RK-99s at the factory and supply them to Militerris.
‘Our family will be very noisy for a while. But…. Still, it’s okay.’
I kissed her again.
This time, it was a quick peck before pulling away.
“Alright. I’ll look forward to it.”
*Goo Woong*
– Standby complete.
– System all green.
– G85-00001, launch preparations complete.
The timing was perfect.
A clear operator’s voice rang out, and the massive 26.8-meter mecha roared.
The entire large area trembled as if there was an earthquake.
“Now, let’s watch together. The power of your toy.”
“…Yes!”
+++
We took the elevator back up to the ground.
Then, we boarded the AV and floated into the air.
Militerris’s headquarters, with its huge cavity, looked like a sunken crater from the sky. Its exterior was covered in mechanical metal, creating a very futuristic atmosphere.
And beyond that, the city with tall buildings stretching out was Dalian, which supported Militerris’s infrastructure.
Everything was controlled by Gominyeong in this special city of ten million people.
As I was looking at those things, something huge shot up from the headquarters with a *shwoosh*.
It was Baekseol’s personal mecha.
“Wow…. It’s definitely huge.”
“Yeah. To be seen so clearly from this distance.”
“Focusing.”
A close-up video of Baekseol’s personal mecha was displayed on one side of the AV’s wall.
The giant mecha was suspended in the air, emitting a halo of light from its entire body.
The sight of that massive object, weighing thousands of tons, floating like that was quite surreal and mesmerizing.
– Dummy units launching.
Soon after, flying objects appeared, surrounding Baekseol’s personal mecha.
From helicopters to fighter jets that took off from the airport near Dalian.
Hundreds of aerial weapons appeared in the sky in an instant.
I heard they were drones controlled by the base.
For a moment, I wondered if Militerris, with its infamous reputation, might be doing this test with manned aircraft, but it didn’t seem to be the case.
‘Well. That would be too wasteful….’
The most important thing is always manpower, not weapons.
I heard that the cost of training a fighter pilot is more expensive than the fighter jet itself, including the time.
It would be even more important in the current situation where AI is banned worldwide.
They can’t just waste such talent in a single test.
“Start.”
“Starting.”
As Kang Hyeyoung relayed the order, the battle began.
The aerial weapons hovering in the sky simultaneously began to unleash all sorts of weapons at Baekseol’s personal mecha.
Thick bullets with visible trajectories even from a distance, railguns that fired shells with a roar, turning all the air in a straight line into plasma, and hundreds of missiles flying with puffs of cloudy smoke.
The view was already filled with weapons, but the things they were spewing out filled the window and the screen with objects.
“Don’t they need to evade?”
But Baekseol didn’t move at all.
It seemed like she was trying to take all the attacks head-on.
“In the case of high-performance personal mecha, they can deploy an anti-air field proportional to the pilot’s specs…but even so….”
Hmm.
Even if it’s a mecha, it shouldn’t be able to withstand being hit like that.
But Baekseol wasn’t moving.
Surely it wasn’t some ridiculous situation where she couldn’t move because she was clumsy, right?
‘I believe in you, Baekseol.’
*Koo Woong – !*
The attacks hit.
Tremendous explosions and flames erupted around Baekseol’s personal mecha, and as other attacks hit in succession, the explosions and flames grew larger and larger.
However,
It didn’t last long.
*Jing,*
*Tuh-uh-ung – !*
The flames and smoke that had been enveloping the personal mecha spread out and disappeared all at once.
In the center was Baekseol’s personal mecha, with energy wings several times longer than itself spread out.
“She took all of that…?”
“Even with an anti-air field, this is…!”
Not only the operators and secretaries watching, but also Gominyeong was surprised.
And so was I.
To just take it all head-on like that…. Just what….
But it was too early to be surprised.
There was an even more absurd sight….
*Kieeeing – !*
The mecha spread out its wings, which seemed to be over a hundred meters wide, and roared, then disappeared from sight in an instant.
The camera, which had been trying to focus, couldn’t track it and shook wildly. The personal mecha that had disappeared reappeared in the same spot.
With energy wings that were shining much more intensely than before.
And we witnessed a fireworks display.
The hundreds of aerial weapons that had been dispatched to take down Baekseol were all shot down by her single movement.
The sight of explosions forming a large sphere around Baekseol was almost beautiful.
“What….”
“Such outrageous….”
Admiration flowed from here and there.
‘The time it disappeared and reappeared was less than a second, and she shot down everything in sight within that time?’
This is ridiculous….
Even if you wrote this in a novel, you’d get criticized.
But this,
‘Ah. This is a game world….’
It’s still absurd, though.
The others had similar reactions to me.
Even for people who had tested countless personal mecha and mass-produced units, the performance shown by Baekseol and her personal mecha was unbelievable.
‘As expected, the strongest knight of all time…!’
She’s still growing, and she’s already this good.
Just how many unbelievable feats will Baekseol show in the future…!
What if she rode a 9th generation-based personal mecha instead of an 8.5th generation one??
– A shockwave is coming! Prepare!
A shockwave?
From this far away?
In that instant,
The entire AV shook with a *koo woong*.
“Uweeck!”
“Wh-what was that?”
“V-Vice President…!”
“Gasp, Minyeong!”
I quickly regained my balance and hugged Minyeong.
Even though the AV was supposed to be prepared for this and that, it shook quite violently just now.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
“…A dangerous toy.”
Gominyeong, who was in my arms, made that comment.
She also seemed a little dazed.
“If only we could mass-produce this….”
Her eyes were filled with anticipation and a hint of madness.
As the president of Militerris, she must be very interested in this kind of thing.
‘Baekseol…. She’s really a monster.’
To impress even Gominyeong.
As her owner, I’m very proud.
