"The Baskfool really came!"

  "Good, let us fight our battle here and end all the rivalry!"

  The powerful voice of the Chief Councilor blasted out like lightning accompanied with thunder. The authority, confidence, and might that he displayed in his voice left Sebastian who was far away shuddering.

  Almost immediately after the powerful voice blasted out, a hole was opened in the middle of the formation of mechs that belonged to the clownfish army.

  Through this hole, 13 iconic mechs of 13 different colors surged forward.

  Of the 13 mechs, the one that led the charge at this moment from the front was the most eye-catching of them all. This powerful red mech that was made in the shape of a dinosaur with 4 legs exhibited absolute power and dominance.

  This mech was so advanced, powerful, and big, as tall as 20 meters that it seemed like it come from 10 million years in the future.

  Though all the other 12 mechs were smaller than this one mech, they were also big and exhibited pure might in their own iconic ways.

  With the normal mechs parting ways for this 13 powerful mechs to take center stage, and with the 5 snakes on the other side facing them, it formed an iconic moment that would soon herald an epic showdown.

  "Crook, hand over the orb of illusion!" The Ancient Basilisk slowed down on seeing the 13 mechs like it was already expecting them as it demanded imperiously.

  Chief Councilor Crook Mane was angered. "IN YOUR DREAMS!"

  BOOM!

  Chief Councilor Crook Mane was a man of action, he never loved talking too much. Once the enemy said that one sentence that triggered him, a switch was turned on in his head, that switch of anger and battle.

  This Chief Councilor did not wait for his comrades. He was used to working and fighting alone, and now that the sacred switch was on, he was in his domain.

  Bright blue light shone from behind the red mech as its powerful flight systems blasted out in full power, propelling it forward rapidly.

  Mid-swim, metallic sounds rang repeatedly as the mech's right hand extended with a red glowing plasma sword extending with it. On its left hand which was still held downwards, a Giant Positron Rifle emerged.

  The mech was in a dinosaur shape with 2 hands and 4 legs. Not only its hands had weapons, small hidden ports opened up in the knee section of the frontal legs as a pair of kinetic shell pistols appeared on each knee of the legs.

  As soon as these weapons appeared on the mech, it's middle-section opened up also as what seemed like a blackhole became exposed.

  From this blackhole, white light stirred like a teleportation portal was being activated inside it as a Giant Machine Gun appeared the next moment.

  Before the Chief Councilor even closed the distance to his enemies, he already pulled the trigger as the powerful mech roared fire and destruction.

  Tututututututututu!

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The sound of the machine gun bullets that erupted like the sounds of a hail of rain were so loud and fast that they left the spectating clownfish dizzy, but this rapid sound was quickly overshadowed by that of the powerful Positron Rifle.

  The corridor itself literally quaked, shaking from the impact of the Rifle's shots as the snakes reacted immediately to the offensive.

  The Ancient Basilisk did not dodge, he could not dodge the machine gun bullets in the first place so he simply focused on defending.

  The massive snake activated a skill as it expanded even more. Its skin turned into a jade green color, its defense increasing exponentially in the process as the bullets finally came splattering against its skin.

  Hiss!!!

  The Ancient Basilisk hissed a loud challenge at the powerful mech that was coming towards it, but the Chief Councilor was having no such formality nonsense as he already started his attack.

  Bam! Bam!

  While still unleashing hell with its guns, the mech righted its lethal plasma sword as it got ready to go on an all-out offensive melee battle.

  Apart from the Ancient Basilisk, the other snakes used different means to defend against the hail of bullets while instinctively drawing closer to their leader to form a more terrifying overall force against the mech.

  While the mech raised its plasma sword in preparation, the Ancient Basilisk who now seemed more ferocious than ever before expanded its head further this time before puking out a ball of shadowy death.

  In mere seconds, the mech closed the distance and they finally collided.

  The plasma sword collided against the shadowy ball of death.

  BOOM!

  The sound was like exploding dominoes and exploding volcanoes as all the weaker mechs in the area were flung in random directions like they were mere baggage, the light from the collision spiked.

  Watching from a distance away, Sebastian grimaced as his senses were scorched, causing a tingling sensation in his brain due to the light spike.

  Before he could recover, the battle was already continuing in full force.

  Clang! Clang! Clang!

  When the Ancient Basilisk was shown again, it was already in a heavy metallic war gear with lethal spikes jutting out of its sides.

  With its shadowy ball of death withstanding the force of the plasma sword, he donned his war gear, taking the battle to the next level.

  He had an advantage though, while the other councilor mechs were still rushing to the battlefield, all his allies were here.

  All the 5 snakes attacked the mech at the same time, but the Chief Councilor did not cower nor did he retreat, he was already high.

  Clear metallic rings reverberated rapidly like that of a professional drummer going through a new drum set, the powerful mech stood its ground, holding its own against all 5 monster snakes.

  The mech's dangerous plasma sword slashed left and right repeatedly, dealing terrifying melee damage while also serving as a huge force of deterrence.

  The mech's guns and other auxiliary weapons were what really dealt the main damage. They kept on vibrating like a super engine, unleashing death itself against the 5 mechs.

  The mech was extremely powerful, yes, but the skill of the mech pilot also needed an accolade since this was completely outrageous.

  Having so many weapons in the mech was an advantage but it could also be a disadvantage too. The ability to control them all impeccably, knowing the right time and place to use them to deal the most lethal damage all required skill.

  The snakes already fought with the Chief Councilor before so they knew his strength and skill level, but this was completely outrageous. 

  The control was too unreal, even training for centuries was unlikely to bring such an improvement in control. 

  The Ancient Basilisk's cold eyes widened as it suddenly figured something out. The ruthless Chief Councilor took advantage of this almost negligible opening.

  Bam! Bam!

  The powerful mech rapidly fend all the attacks of the 4 other mechs, retaliating at the same time, pushing them back temporarily as it activated a special mechanism from the input of its pilot.

  The mini-boosters installed in the mech's legs activated as the mechs leg suddenly kicked with superbeast speed. With the powerful kick, the Basilisk's mid-section shifted back while the force of inertia brought its head forward.

  Whoosh!

  The plasma sword ruthlessly cut forward through the Basilisk.

  The Ancient Basilisk realized its mistake on time and retreated, barely dodging as the extremely lethal sword cut a huge injury just below its head.

  Instantly after this injury, as blood flowed like a flood, dying the water red, the Ancient Basilisk stopped swimming, hovering in place as its orange predatory eyes pinned the red glowing eyes of the mech.

  In this time, the other mechs finally arrived as they all boosted ahead, taking on the other 4 snakes, keeping them occupied to not intervene in the main battle.

  This left the 2 strongest predators and leaders alone.

  While looking into the mech's emotionless eyes, the Ancient Basilisk finally spoke. "Your experiment was a success?"

  "Yes". The Chief Councilor's grin could be felt through his tone. "I took a huge risk, but fortunately, it worked". 

  "I have a mechanical implant adaptation now; my brain is now partly computerized and I can process information rapidly like a computer".

  "All I need now is the ultimate mech, and you're not my match anymore!"

  "I see…" The Ancient Basilisk calmed down.

  "Well, you're not the only one who improved in all this time".

  "Witness my new killer move!"

  "Killer Move: …"
