Chapter 1170 Unexpected
-----
A lot happened in that fight, and I ended falling unconscious for over four hours, unfortunately. It was indeed a very annoying thing that happened. But this body has been weakened within this Trial, so it couldn't be helped. Merging my flesh with machines was never something I expected I would do, but I ended doing it without hesitation anyways.
Now, as I woke up inside a hospital room, I found Hermes, Emilia, and Patrick there, the moment they saw me awake they screamed, running to my side and even hugging me. I would have preferred to not be touched after what happened…
Eventually they calmed down though, they had freaked out more than I thought, which was very annoying, despite being genetically engineered clones made for piloting machine warriors, they sure were soft hearted beyond no end.
I think they were softer than the friends I have in Spiritias.
"So you used this new Ability Fusion? To merge with your mechs?! That's just insane!" said Patrick. "And amazing! And super cool! What the hell…"
"You acquired an even stronger ability again…" Hermes said. "It seems you're truly an unstopable force, Blake."
"I wouldn't say that, I struggled a lot," I said. "If anything, I barely won. I didn't overwhelm them or something… It was too close. I feel annoyed because of that. If they come back tomorrow, imagine how strong they'll be… they're always stronger than the day before after all."
"T-That's…" Emilia muttered, feeling surprised. "So you can't even rest for a minute! Geez, just sit down and sleep or something, worry about tomorrow tomorrow!"
"Sorry but I can't," I laughed. "I'm fine now, I've been fully healed thanks to this technology. Let's go back to my house."

They tried to stop me but I crawled my way out of the hospital, eventually hearing Henriette screaming behind me as she caught up with us. She was in the hospital cafeteria and was going to bring food for the trio.
"Blake! You're awake?! Oh my gosh! I'm so happy!"
She ran towards me with her hands full of stuff, her robots grabbed them and then she tried to hug me… but I dodged her, I was tired of hugging.
"Let me hug you! I was so scared!" she complained.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"No, leave me alone, Henriette, I'm not going to hug you," I sighed, evading her constantly.
She attempted to give me a stealthy hug at least three more times until we got back home, at that point she finally accepted her defeat.
"Sorry if it was creepy, I thought we were close enough to… but I guess not," she smiled slightly bitterly.
"Honestly yeah, we aren't close enough," I nodded. "But I appreciate you cared about me, thanks for bringing me to the hospital, Henriette."
"A-Ah, of course! It was nothing, really…" she said while blushing, readjusting her glasses.
"Anyways, let's go inside." I said.
We went back home after a lot of annoyances, and I quickly decided to go take a shower while I left them on their own. Emilia and Henriette said they were going to cook for me, so I guess that's fine.
As I took a shower, I was finally able to be alone, and think about everything that happened. My new powers, the infinite potential of Fusion, and how I could improve it.
This battle ended being too close, to the point it made me feel nervous, even when I won.
There's three more days' worth of battles, and the Xenoids will become progressively stronger with each battle.
"Can I truly complete this damned trial?" I wondered, sitting over the bathroom and sighing as the warm water calmed me down. "Hm, wait, what happened to my Machine Warrior?"
I quickly checked the cameras to my personal storage, and there he was… his appearance had changed once more, becoming larger, red and gold, with silver here and there.
Their face was much more humanoid, with bright golden eyes and red over their face, with a V-shaped crest made of gold.
It looked… it felt like it had evolved even further after fusing with me, it even kept some of the appearance of the Blitz Mode, such as huge cannons merged with its body.
"Amazing… can machines truly evolve like this?"
I felt slightly flabbergasted but smiled lightly. My Machine Warrior was no longer just a machine, no. I believe it has evolved into a full-fledged familiar, and also gained more intelligence.
It was reported they moved on their own to the storage to rest… And also those messages I saw when I merged with it, they were from its interface.
I wonder though, can I communicate with it now?
The Neutonium Core it held was shattered, so I fused my entire body with it and the shattered cores, plus Eleanora, Saphira, and Hendrick and their mechs to form what I became.
Upon being unfused, the Machine Warrior didn't go back to pieces of junk but had seemingly completely recovered from all damage and had even evolved.
Its core had been… absorbed by mine, but it also developed a new one through the crystallization of our fused powers.
Maybe this is what made it so damn strong and different now. After all, the energy produced by the Neutonium Cores can alter the laws of physics.
And their name was… Titanomachy, huh? Quite the fancy name, but I like it.
"Titanomachy, can you communicate with me? Your master."
I spoke to him through telepathy, I could definitely do that now, I felt a mental link with him.
And then…
FLASH!
Suddenly, from my hands, a red light glowed beneath my skin.
"W-What?!"
I felt shocked as I noticed the light spread through my arm and came from my heart, then as it all glowed, I realized I had metallic wires merged with my flesh and muscles.
"So even I evolved…?!"
Then, at long last, I realized what had happened to me, I also evolved. I became machine human… a cyborg.
"Hoh…"
I couldn't help but smile as I saw the blue led light coming from my hands forming a huge hologram of…
Titanomachy's face?!
"Blake! I am happy you're finally awake! Hahahaha! What we did back then was amazing! We are true heroes of humanity! Let's gooooo! FUSION!"
"H-Huh?"
His personality… wasn't what I expected.
