Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 189 Ancient Mechanical Rebellion

Hiding in the shadows, Ahei and Ahbai exclaimed excitedly, "Great! We made it in time! No wonder it's a robot developed by Ah Ling! It actually awakened the giant dragon!"

The ancient mechanical dragon, fused with the power of three parts, was exceptionally powerful, managing to fight Heracles to a standstill for eight hours.

Ultimately, with the combined efforts of Heraclius and Vespasianus, the dragon's head was severed.

Meanwhile, based on Zero's notes, the 'Giant' found the energy core left behind by the ancient empire—the Magic Gear—at the core beneath the arena.

It retrieved the magic gear and placed it into the core of its chest. In the distance, the ancient mechanical repair equipment lit up with red lights, and with each step it took, countless parts began to converge upon it, arming it.

Finally, when it easily broke through the ceiling and arrived at the small cell it shared with its master, it had transformed into a true giant. It picked up the enormous helmet its master had left it in the cell—a symbol of the indomitable warriors of an ancient empire—and slowly placed it on its head.

Thus, the ancient mechanical giant was born!

On the ground battlefield, the ancient mechanical soldiers were completely wiped out, and Ah Bai and Ah Hei were brought before Heraclius.

Their legs were trembling violently. Ah Hei, in a fit of desperation, started spewing trash talk, while Ah Bai began begging for mercy.

Just then, a heavy punch came crashing down from the sky. Heraclius hurriedly raised his shield to block it. Although he barely managed to withstand the blow, the enormous impact shattered the floor of the circular arena.

The ancient mechanical giant finally arrived on the battlefield, followed by its ancient mechanical brethren.

Caesar looked at the giant. "Is this the little robot from the observation post the other day? How did it get so huge?"

"Oppression, no, resistance!"

"Hahaha, oppression, no, resistance! You're absolutely right, I knew that too!" With that, Chirac grabbed Ah Bai's head with one hand, threw him to the ground, stomped on his head, and then pointed to the numerous scars on his left arm.

"This was left by his great-grandfather because he thought my swordsmanship lacked power. This was left by his grandfather because he thought I didn't intentionally lose to my opponent. Those humans forced us sword-fighting beasts to kill each other. We're not as shameless as them now; we just make them fight each other. Is that what you call oppression? What were they doing then?"

"It's all oppression, it's all wrong."

"Hahahaha! You really know how to talk a good game. It's true that oppression is wrong, but who should we seek redress for the suffering, tears, and blood we've shed over the past few centuries? When these scars ache, who should we hate?!"

"This kid lived a life of luxury in his youth, relying on what his ancestors had exploited from us. He enjoyed life on our blood and flesh, doesn't he have any guilt?!"

The giant was perplexed; its computing power was insufficient to handle such a complex matter. It could only repeatedly say, "Oppression, no!"

"Ha, I was stupid to try to reason with a machine like you. Come on, if you can beat me!"

Although Heracles is the calmest of the Gladiator Beasts, it is still a Gladiator Beast, and the instinct to fight is ingrained in its blood.

The 'Giant' swung its fist, unleashing the ultimate technique that would later make it famous—Ultimate Strike.

Heracles brandished his shield, and two powerful monsters bulged in the center of the circular arena!

After a long battle, even the strongest Gladiator Beast, Claudius, was defeated by the Ancient Machine Ultimate Titan, formed by the combined power of two of its own kind.

Humanity finally overthrew the tyranny of the Gladiators and was completely liberated.

Ah Bai shouted excitedly, "Great! We defeated the Sword Fighting Beast! We won! Ah Hei, the two of us are the saviors of this world!"

Ahei excitedly added, "You're right, there's also the 'Giant'!"

But Ah Bai looked at the 'giant' and said disdainfully, "It is indeed powerful, but it is just a machine. We are the masters."

Ahei looked at Ahbai silently.

Ah Bai eventually became the leader of the new empire, while Ah Hei, due to political differences, was imprisoned and died in resentment.

The giant stood atop the newly built fortress, watching his comrades tirelessly move supplies to expand the castle.

He was assigned the task of guarding the city gate 24 hours a day.

Its heavy workload left it with no time to revive its three-color parts friends.

Suddenly, it saw an ancient gear-driven machine, overworked, detach its mechanical arm, dropping the building materials it was holding to the ground.

The human supervisor nearby immediately rushed over and kicked it to the ground.

"Damn it, you stupid good-for-nothing, can't you even do something as simple as moving things?"

Most of the work in the new empire was done by the giants' own kind, but Abai sent these bored humans to supervise the work.

Someone nearby said, "This is just the weakest machine; let's send it away to be dismantled quickly."

"No need, Lord Abai has invented advanced dismantling technology." The human overseer grinned and took out a pistol-shaped device. "Just gently pull this trigger on this piece of junk machinery, and it will disintegrate immediately. It's very convenient and efficient!"

Just as the foreman was about to pull the trigger, pointing his gun at the bewildered gearbox, the giant lifted him up with one hand.

The foreman was extremely flustered. "W-what are you doing?"

"Oppression? No!"

The giant's steady voice came.

"Don't be so arrogant, it's just a machine!"

"No, no, don't be rude!" said the foreman's friend. "That giant is the hero who defeated the Gladiator Beast!"

"What hero? You're just a machine used by humans! Let me go right now, or I'll dismantle you too!"

The overseer then aimed his gun at the ancient mechanical giant.

The giant looked at the gun; it was a pistol that Ah Bai had tricked it into believing was made for the rapid repair of the injured ancient machine race.

"Oppression, no, resistance!"

The giant flung the overseer away with a deafening roar.

"Partners, oppression—no, we—rebel!"

All the ancient mechanical beings who were working heard the giant's command and gathered around it.

An ancient mechanical rebellion has begun!

......

On top of a sturdy four-layered fortress, the ancient mechanical giant silently gazed down at the human army below.

The ancient mechanical fortress it and its companions built, with walls riddled with cannons and enormous gears, was incredibly sturdy. They never intended to destroy human civilization; they simply wanted to escape oppression.

That's why they built this massive mechanical fortress.

When the fortress was completed, elite cavalrymen and ancient mechanical knights knelt before it.

"Giants, we need a king!"

"King, equals oppression, oppression, no!" The giants rejected the knight's application, so their fortress was a city without a king, and now, humans can't even accommodate such a small city!
