Above Your Head

…

…

Silence descended upon the whole battlefield. Then, I smirked and said…

"All troops, charge!" [1]

At my orders, the gray giants dashed forward in unison. The Gigas and fighter jets deployed from Rising Storm immediately launched a counterattack, but it was to no avail.

Kwakkkkk! Boom! Boom!

They were all subdued. The fighter jets either had their wings cut off or their engines ceased to function, and the Gigas got their limbs mutilated; all they could do was float in space. It also didn't take a long time. Everything was over by the time the swords collided and the artillery fires were fired.

The gray giants weren't just clones. Each of the 1,000 Beast-rank Gigas had the combat power of a Beast-rank Gigas under my piloting, and the same applied for the 10 Human-rank Gigas too. In other words, there were 10 Napoleons piloted by me and 1,000 Thunder Dragons piloted by me on the battlefield.

The enemies had a numerical disadvantage. The soul power of each Gigas overwhelmed them as well, so the enemy didn't have a glimmer of hope in winning at all.

Skriekkk-!

The Gigas and fighter jets were subdued in a matter of minutes and immediately after that, I stormed into Rising Storm after giving a separate order. The huge battleship, Rising Storm, naturally had a sturdy barrier, but I tore apart the barrier like it was a piece of cloth and landed on top of the deck.

It literally took a moment, as if I was naturally opening a door and walking right through it. Ares was stunned.

No, wait a minute. What did you just do? Did you just tear apart the battleship's barrier and enter just like that? Did you have this kind of Ability? 

"It's not an Ability, it's the Transcendence Skill , you idiot."

It was more of a passive Ability rather than an active-prompt skill. The Ability was capable of spreading a kind of Aura within a fifty meters radius centering around the Iron Heart; the Aura could permeate through barriers and either strengthen defenses or cut the connection between the barrier and the enemy's soul energy. If desired, the Aura could also be injected into weapons to increase their offensive capabilities.

Setting your powers aside, what's with this God of War skill… Your Transcendence Skill suits me very well.

"Of course it suits you, It's your Transcendence Skill after all."

…The only Transcendence Skill I have is the though?

'The rest of your Abilities,' I muttered under my breath in response to Ares' words.

"I'll explain it to you later."

Kwakkk!

I stretched out my hand and tore off Rising Storm's armor, and broke in. I knew the structure of Rising Storm all too well.

Boooooom! Kwakkkkkk!

Bang!

I moved in a straight line. If a wall was in the way, I would break it down, and when there was room to move, I crossed over in an instant. Obviously, there were some guys blocking my way, but...

"Stop him! He's moving to the power plant!"

"But the attacks aren't working at all!"

"What the hell! It's a God-rank Gigas!! Where the hell did that thing come from!!"

They were just making a lot of noise, but they couldn't stop me in my tracks. The barrier of Ares, a God-rank Gigas, was on the same level as the defense of a Terra-class battleship. The only way for Rising Storm to pierce through that barrier was to fire at it with their Main Armament.

'But there's no way they can use that kind of firepower within the battleship.'

The moment I thought so, I invoked Foresight.

Kwareukkkk!

I raised my right hand and blocked the incoming spear. It might seem strange to raise my hand to block a spear the mere size of a toothpick when Ares was as big as a decent-sized building. However, the instant I blocked the spear, thunder struck and the surrounding space was distorted. Ares shouted.

Dae-ha! Be careful! He's a Numbering just like me!

Numberings referred to the powerful Godly Artifacts that ranked in the top 1,000 among Transcendence Weapons in the universe. Numberings were hard to come by that even the worth of five or six decent-size planets couldn't exchange for a Numbering. Numberings were extremely powerful weapons, and if wielded by a transcendent, the transcendent would be able to go against ten other transcendents of the same level.

In fact, Transcendence Weapons and Numberings didn't come in a specific form or with a specific effect. It could come in the shape of a gun, a knife, or a weapon specialized in destroying enemies. It could also have healing effects or even create Warp Zones.

In general, a Transcendence Weapon's shape would match its titles but that wasn't necessarily the case for all of them. Among the battleships that roamed in space, there were special masterpieces that joined the ranks of the Numberings. Also, there were God-rank Gigas like Ares that also joined the ranks of the Numberings as a Transcendence Weapon. Even items that didn't take the form of a weapon and weren't considered as one, such as the Refrigerator that Produces Food Infinitely, was also one of the Numberings, so that's that.

In other words, it was safe to assume that there was fundamentally not much difference between Ares and the spear thrown by the enemy. The only difference was that I was riding in a Numbering, and the enemy had a Numbering in his hand.

If the spear were to be a problem...

"The spear's a Numbering just like you... So what?"

As with all weapons, the important thing that mattered was the capability of the user.

Kriekkkk---!!

"Keucckkkk…! This, what the hell is this…"

An ancient-looking old man standing at nearly two meters tall was surrounded by the Aura formed by . He was brought to his knees.

I lightly gestured, "Get some sleep."

Plop.

The old man lost consciousness and collapsed while the Numbering in his hand was devoured by the crevice that had opened up in the air. It went into the
