Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

"…" Champion Onana froze as thoughts flowed through his head.

The next moment, he rubbed his head and chuckled.

"I knew you were a genius, an intelligent one but I didn't expect you to be this good, I think I still underestimated you a bit".

Legolas did not respond to that as a poker look remained on his face.

"Before I answer, I would like to have a question answered". His eyes narrowed as he looked at Legolas. "Where you really born in Planet Darvis?"

"Your knowledge about things is like that of a galactic citizen".

Still, Legolas responded with a poker look.

Champion Onana no longer beat around the bush. "I would have told you sooner or later, so there's no harm in revealing it now".

His face turned serious. "I surrendered to you on my own volition".

"My master is an Admiral of the Nak Navy, a Grade A Nak Warlord".

"They call him… The War Mechanic".

"As a student of an Admiral, of course I am entitled to a lot of things, things like freebees from him. Before being sent on this mission by him, he gave me some gifts that could aid me in my journey through this uncharted region".

Legolas' face remained poker but inwardly, he smiled. 'So it's the Eastern Fantasy master to student gift style, feels so nostalgic man'.

Champion Onana continued. "My Master's gifts saved us".

"I lost a few Spaceships while escaping, but surviving was all that mattered".

"Despite my Master's gifts though, I am not confident of going up against the Grade A Space Bug and defeating him".

"That is why I surrendered after my defeat to you guys".

"I knew that I couldn't afford to sacrifice and waste my trump cards when the real enemy was yet to come, doing that was stupid".

"I think the only way to survive the Cataclysm is to become allies".

"…"

All the Grade C Superhumans were stunned after hearing this.

Surviving the Cataclysm that they thought was being induced by the Nak Navy was a great source of pride to them all, now hearing a different perspective about how they won, they no longer felt as proud.

A victory that was handed to you was much less fulfilling than one that you sweat, fought, and suffered for before winning it deservedly.

Legolas nodded. "I believe you".

He turned to look at President Shanks. "My President, your decision?"

"…" President Shanks paused as a conflicted look was on his face.

President Shanks soon sighed audibly, he looked at Legolas. "I think you are right, Jon Stones at this moment would not be happy in heaven".

"Besides, I think I forgot the oath that I made to the citizens of Planet Darvis".

"I once swore to always defend the sovereignty of Planet Darvis".

"Defending the Planet entails doing everything necessary to keep the Planet alive no matter how painful it is. If protecting the Planet involves me sleeping with a Troll, I will sleep with a Troll".

"If defending the Planet means befriending my enemy, I will do it". President Shank's eyes gleamed as the uncertainty and doubt left him.

"I don't intend to break my oath now".

"The Planet comes first". He looked at the Grade B Champion with a look of determination on his face. "You've shown your sincerity by revealing so much to us. For this, I am grateful".

"If the Nak Navy is willing, I, President Shanks, the ruler of Planet Darvis, on the authority vested on me, I am willing to ally with the Naks to fight the common enemy and protect our sovereignty".

None of the Grade C Superhumans standing beside President Shanks objected. If some of them were still bitter, they did a good job at keeping their bitterness to themselves as Champion Onana finally smiled again.

"Before you agreed to become allies, you asked for a condition". Champion Onana looked at President Shanks before turning to face Legolas.

"I also have a little condition".

President Shanks briefly frowned. "Say it".

"I want to know how you were able to build a Destroyer. As far as I know, there are only 3 Super knowledges in Planet Darvis".

"Is there something that I don't know?"

"Yes". Legolas answered without hesitation.

"Follow me".

Legolas turned and led the way forward.

…

"I am almost done with the assembling". Ella sighed even as a proud look adorned her face as she looked at the gigantic metal structure before her; she wiped sweat away from her face. "What do you think of this final look?"

John raised his head as he looked at the virtual projection of the Heavy Cruiser in it's final form, he looked briefly before turning away. "Good".

"Huh? What do you mean by good?"

"How can you be satisfied with just good? Tell me something beautiful, use creative words like a poem, like, just complement my work".

"You know, this is my first time building a Heavy Cruiser".

"Can't you be a good husband for once?!"

"I am not your husband!" John stressed with an exasperated expression on his face but he paused as soon as he turned.

Thud! Thud!

This was when Ella's com blinked, indicating the intruders.

Even before looking, she already felt the familiar aura as goosebumps instantly crept up her skin. Turning around, they looked at the war prisoner which Legolas and his buddies managed to captured a week ago.

Ella took 2 steps back. "W-What is he doing here?"

"Legolas, what is this?"

When a high-grade Super of a certain class stood before a lower grade Super of the same class, there was an instinctive suppression. This phenomenon barely existed in the lower stages but is predominant in the higher stages.

It was this suppression and the sense of inferiority that affected both Mechanics at this moment as they froze.

Seeing the both of them, Champion Onana froze.

"A Virtual Mechanic…" He muttered.

"A Technician Mechanic!" His eyes glowed like he just hit the jackpot in a lottery, it was like chicken blood was just injected in him.

'How is this possible?' He was baffled.

'I thought there are no Mechanics in Planet Darvis, or else…'

Champion Onana turned to face Legolas. "How were you able to pull off something this ridiculous? I know you're the one who did it".

Legolas calmly looked down at him. "This is not part of your question".

"I will only tell you my secrets when I feel that I'm safe to do so. As for now, you're still nothing but a powerful prisoner to me".

"Ok". Champion Onana nodded.

"So, will you ally with Planet Darvis?"

Onana grinned. "Yes".

Instantly, Legolas felt like a heavy weight was just lifted off from his heart. As for Champion Onana, he was completely focused on the Technician Mechanic.

'I never expected to meet one of these rare master crafters here'.

'I really hit the jackpot'.

'With her help, I may be able to bring Berserker back to life much stronger than he had ever been in his previous life".

As he fantasized about future cooperation projects, Legolas finally asked the question that all the Grade C Superhumans wanted to ask.

"So, how long do we have till the Cataclysm?"

Champion Onana turned to look at him. "Less than 6 months".
