Stronger with Crimson Modifier

This was already the strongest type of Mecha Zhao Yao knew of.

But as for this "Forbidden Mecha" the voice spoke of, he had never heard of it.

Hearing this,

the cold, arrogant female voice paused for a moment.

After a moment of silence, it spoke.

"I'd forgotten. You're just a common civilian, so it's only natural that you wouldn't know about these things.

Forbidden Mecha are the strongest Mecha, a class above S-rank.

There are only eight of them in this world, and each possesses world-destroying power.

Their power could easily destroy this Iron Rock Star you inhabit.

And I, Sun's Radiance, am one of them—ranked second!"

'Destroy a star?'

Zhao Yao was horrified.

However, he then recalled what the entity had said before.

He couldn't help but ask,

"You just said I'm the tenth host. What happened to the previous nine?"

"They died!"

Xi Guang said.

"Didn't you say Forbidden Mecha were incredibly strong? How could their hosts die? Is there something in this world capable of defeating a Forbidden Mecha?"

Zhao Yao frowned.

"That is, of course, impossible.

Forbidden Mecha are the strongest, bar none.

The only thing capable of defeating a Forbidden Mecha is another Forbidden Mecha.

It was all that idiot, the ninth host. He was far too arrogant and conceited.

He clearly had the power to obliterate his opponents in an instant, but he insisted on torturing and killing them one by one. As a result, he was caught in a trap and subjected to the Erosion of the Touch of the Sun Eater.

Seven minutes and twenty-nine seconds ago, he self-destructed the Mecha, leaving me in this state with only the Mech Core remaining!"

The Mecha Spirit named Xi Guang spoke coldly, her tone dripping with resentment for the previous host.

Zhao Yao listened, dumbfounded, his mind a chaotic mess.

'You call this a Forbidden Mecha? It should be called a Cursed Mecha! All nine hosts are dead.'

'I'm still young; I'd like to live a few more years.'

He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"Um, can we unbind? I'm probably not a good fit. Besides, you only have a Mech Core left... you're basically scrap, right...?"

"No! Once bound, the connection cannot be broken unless the host dies!"

Before he could finish, the voice cut him off.

"Do not judge a Forbidden Mecha by the standards of an ordinary Mecha.

For a Forbidden Mecha, the core is its very essence; external damage means nothing.

As long as the core survives, the Forbidden Mecha will eventually return to this world.

And you, as the tenth Sun's Radiance Mecha Master whom I have acknowledged, are tasked with the mission of making Sun's Radiance manifest in the world once more."

Hearing this,

Zhao Yao felt like a deflated balloon.

He asked, still not ready to give up,

"Why... did you choose me?"

The female voice chuckled lightly.

"Because you carry the Light Bloodline. Only a person with the Light Bloodline is qualified to pilot a Forbidden Mecha."

As if anticipating Zhao Yao's confusion, she continued to explain.

"The Light Bloodline is a gift from the sun, the most noble Bloodline in the world.

Its bearer is destined to stand above all other living beings."

'What Light Bloodline? How have I never heard of it? Other than being handsome, getting good grades, and being a pro gamer, there's nothing special about me at all.'

'The Zhao Family has been nothing but commoners for three generations. I'm arguably the most promising one we've had.'

'If I really had such an amazing Bloodline, how could I have ended up like this?'

Zhao Yao's brow furrowed, his mind filled with suspicion. He couldn't shake the feeling that she was just trying to con him.

However, the moment that thought formed, a sudden jolt of electricity shot through him, and his body spasmed uncontrollably.

Zhao Yao immediately backed down and begged for mercy.

"Sister Xi, stop, stop! I was wrong! I shouldn't have doubted you."

Xi Guang snorted coldly.

"The Light Bloodline is not a Bloodline in the traditional sense.

You can understand it as a special type of Physique.

It doesn't depend on genetic inheritance; any living creature could potentially awaken this Physique.

Of course, that is merely a theoretical possibility.

In reality, those who truly possess the Light Bloodline are exceedingly rare. According to my scans, there are no more than ten such individuals on all of Iron Rock Star."

Xi Guang's voice was calm.

"With the exception of a very few Innate Awakened Ones, most Light Bloodlines lie dormant within their hosts, making them indistinguishable from ordinary people.

It can only be activated through a specialized Intentional Energy training method."

She paused here for a moment.

"I happen to have a top-tier Willpower Refining Technique called *Siphon*.

Are you willing to learn it?

Once you awaken your Light Bloodline, your own power will increase dramatically. Defeating your sister will be a piece of cake."

Zhao Yao's expression froze.

"How did you know..."

Then, realization dawned, and his expression turned grim.

"You can pry into my memories!"

Every living being possesses an inviolable private Domain.

Yet this... thing... could peer into his memories at will.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of repulsion welling up inside him.

The instant that thought crossed his mind,

another wave of electric shocks hit him, so intense that his eyes rolled back in his head and he foamed at the mouth.

It didn't stop until he begged for mercy.

Only then did Xi Guang explain.

"I wasn't prying. You simply failed to conceal your thoughts!

I am connected to your nervous system, so I can easily capture your surface-level thoughts.

However, if you learn the *Siphon* Willpower Refining Technique, you will be able to conceal your thoughts, and I will no longer be able to spy on them.

I will only be privy to the thoughts you wish to share."

Xi Guang said indifferently.

Zhao Yao fell silent.

'It's obvious I have no choice in the matter.'

"Please teach me, Sister Xi!"

A moment later,

the information for the Willpower Refining Technique known as *Siphon* appeared in Zhao Yao's mind.
