"Okay Ddraig! Bear witness to the glory of moi!" with a press of a button, a red liquid was dispensed to an empty vial displayed under a tube that leads to somewhere unknown.
[What if someone somehow got ahold of this vial? Won't that bring chaos and lead to more problems later?]
"I'm not dumb Ddraig, this thing only works for me, you really think I would allow others to become stronger through my inventions free of charge? If someone did ingest this concoction, they would just die instantly," I shake my head from left to right at Ddraig's lack of intellect, would someone like me fall for that beginner mistake?
So with confidence in the concoction I brewed, I put it in my mouth and gulp it down, and felt the disgusting bitter taste of a vampire's DNA going down my throat, and with each contact made with my cells, rapid changes went through my whole body.
From sharp fangs sprouting in my mouth, wings similar to those of bats gushing through my clothes, the shadow below me disappearing into nowhere as I felt an innate connection with the wisp of shadows and entrails of blood inside my body until I was fully reborn into a creature of darkness.
"Okay Ddraig, she is not a normal vampire, not only can I control the shadows, the one we thought to be blood magic is actually her innate ability," who would have thought, she's actually a superior vampire, resistant against sunlight, ability to wield blood, what's more? She's not weak to Holy Power?
[Yeah, well I'm bored with that science stuff. I'm going to sleep right now, just remember to not go past the 5th boost when you are using your Dung Beetle] I can't argue with that, it's because of our recent finding that my "limit" while in Dung Beetle form is 5 boosts and when I reach the 6th boost, my body would just give up and I get weakened for a short period.
"Well let's get our little princess to dreamland shall we?" I said with a teasing tone as Ddraig let out a grunt and went to sleep.
With my experiment done, I went to grab a pink vial and mix it with another vial containing blue liquid, and out came a small explosion which I toss to the ground, and what formed was a bouncy ball made out of a rubbery material.
"Hup," I let out of my mouth as I pick up the ball and insert it into a tube, and out of the other end came out multiple small balls of rubbery blue ball that has a weird sensation when I pick it up.
It's just a ball that would rapidly expand when in contact with my mana and would encase the target in a sticky rubbery concoction, a useful tool when I want to catch some guinea pigs.
"Finally done, I guess I should also take a nap for now. I haven't slept for a whole week already," I let out a tired yawn from my mouth because even though I'm an amalgamation of weird races, my brain has been accustomed to sleep and I go to sleep once in a while to relax for a bit when I have nothing to do.
"Light's off," I let out of my mouth as the whole lab went into pure abyssal darkness with no light source anywhere so yes, it is 100% devoid of light.
And with me plopping down to my bed, I instantly went to my mindscape where the true magic of my mind is stored in.
The moment I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of a tower that reaches the heavens itself as books fly around from one place to another, you can say this is a place where most of my work in progress is stored, left to rot until I decide to make them into reality.
I already have my plans of harnessing the power of the sun and granting me permanent strength that would rival an exploding star but that's far off into the future because magic is bullshit and considering the nine realms might be real, then the sun might be more mysterious than I previously thought.
With a snap, another book went on to appear in my hands as I went on to design another machine that would be left to stay idle in my mindscape that stores tech that would rival those of absurd science fiction, I already know a way to bring a zombie apocalypse if I really want to.
But while I was making another masterpiece of a book that holds bizarre knowledge in the field of agriculture that would make a plant grow a 100x its size naturally, kinda like a world tree, I felt blaring alarms playing in my mind as I instantly got covered in my Dung Beetle armor and with one thought, disappeared from the bed I was lying on.
"What?!" I shouted as I instantly opened my eyes to see a group of kingdom toppling beauties standing in front of me wielding strange weapons and unknown magic, unlike anything I've seen before.
"There he is! He's the one who killed Miyako!" shouted one girl with golden blond hair, ocean blue eyes, and saintly clothes.
"You bastard!" shouted one woman with big boobies, thicc thigs, black hair, brown eyes, and a katana sheathed on her waist which she drew out and with one kick to the ground, she instantly appeared in front of me with the katana unsheathed.
'Biological Overdrive!' with one mental prompt, I appeared far away from whoever the fuck they were, and out came my Boosted Gear as Ddraig was awoken by the commotion.
[Who the fuck are they?! How are they in the lab?!]
I don't know!
"BOOST!" let out the Boosted Gear as I only have 50 seconds left before the 6th boost and then I will have to deal with the repercussions it will bring.
"HA!" I shouted as I appeared right behind that saintess bitch who broke the tube the Vampire girl was in but annoyingly enough, a set of mana chains went to grab my arm which is surprising with my current strength which puts whoever made the chains High Class Demon level or Tier 4 magician.
"FUCK OFF!" I shouted as my eyes glowed crimson red and I went on to control the shadow around the room with monstrous control, grasping the neck of the saintess with shadowy tendrils.
But that was soon once again interrupted by a beam of light shooting out of nowhere towards me and I finally saw who the fuck was that magician, it was that blue-haired girl in the distance wearing typical fantasy mage attire.
"You mess with the wrong scientist!" I shouted as another "BOOST!" got sent out of my Boosted Gear and with one command, I appeared behind the mage preparing to gouge out her heart but another fucking girl went to surprise attack me as a blade went to chop off my fist and the samurai girl went to grab the mage and appear far away.
"Tch!" with a quick glance all around the room, there stood five girls with each of them having identifiable appearances.
A tomboy samurai, a saintess, a mage, the revived vampire healed by the saintess, and a white-haired loli in the distance.
[How are we going to deal with this?]
I guess it's time to use my masterpiece!
[What?]
Just watch Ddraig!
"INITIATE PROJECT MECHANICAL GOD!" I shouted as out came a capsule below my feet and before the five girls could attack me, a metallic object went on to shoot towards my chest as I instantly got covered in a slick set of white armor with red stripes all around it.
[Holy shit! That's what you were talking about yesterday!]
"YOU'RE FUCK NOW!" I shouted as floating cannons appeared beside me and rapid beams of light went to shot toward the saintess and mage because they're the biggest annoyance right now but the tomboy samurai went to save the two girls by rapidly running around my wide lab.
But then as the samurai was running around, a hole suddenly appeared where her foot landed, and without hesitation, it got chopped off with the closing of the hole as the two girls were rapidly shot away into the distance as her grip on the two was let go.
"FUCK YOU, SAMURAI!" I shouted as two beams went on to shoot towards the stuck Samurai who looks at the beams with wide shocked eyes and as she was about to die, I heard a loud monstrous roar out of nowhere as a big white tail went to block my beams without even doing a single dent.
[A dragon?!]
"Tsk," with one mental prompt using my AI chip, the walls around us suddenly opened, and out came a group of mechanical super soldiers that rapidly went towards the five intruders of my lab.
"ROXY! We have no hope of defeating him right now! Take us away!" shouted the samurai girl whose legs were already healed while fighting against my mechanical soldiers.
"On it!" shouted the blue-haired girl as I appeared right behind her with my enlarged mechanical fist preparing to strike her head dead but then the annoying dragon's tail went to shoot towards me.
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" I shouted in rage as a blazing hot saber appeared in my right arm and chop the oncoming tail into two!
"GAO!" shouted the dragon in pain as she shot a beam of mana towards me.
"Checkmate!" I shouted as I instantly switch places with the blue-haired girl who looks at the beam with wide eyes.
"ROXY!" shouted the annoying supers speed samurai girl who went to save the blue-haired mage bitch and the beam hit the ground searing a hole in my precious lab's floor.
"I'M DONE!" shouted Roxy as the five girls soon got enveloped in violet light and before I could kill Roxy, they already disappeared!
"FUCK!" I shouted in rage as I slammed the floor creating a large crater that caved in most of the lab creating a small leak in the walls and just like that, my whole lab was destroyed by the void of space leaving me just there floating in space along with the destroyed materials of my lab.
"I'm gonna kill them, I'm gonna kill them, I'm gonna kill that samurai, I'm gonna kill that mage, I'm gonna kill that vampire, that saintess and especially that loli dragon, I'm gonna kill all of them! Their families, their whole race! I'M GONNA MAKE THEM REGRET FACING ME!" I shouted as Ddraig roared along with me to finally achieve a state I never knew existed.
"[BALANCE BREAKER: MECHANICAL RED DRAGON EMPEROR!]" my voice resonated with Ddraig's shout as crimson red armor went to overlap my mechanical god form with unbridled power coursing through my whole body.
Uncontrollable rage went on to well up inside my mind as I only sought nothing but destruction, so with nothing to destroy, gigantic visceral beams of my rage went to shoot into the void of space along with a deafening roar leaving nothing but red trails of light on the surface of the moon.
(An Unknown Amount of Time Later)
H- huh? Holy shit, I can't feel my body, and are we underground?
[You're finally awake]
Where are we Ddraig?
[Somewhere on the moon]
Oh shit, I finally remember, so that's Balance Breaker?
[Yeah, and it's different from my normal Balance Breaker form Scale Mail, the power… it was so different than any of my past forms]
Well fuck me, are you saying I'm gonna encounter your past users too?!
[Shut up, do you know what you just did a few hours ago?! We nearly destroyed the moon if you didn't direct most of your beams to the void of space!]
Yes yes, but where is my armor anyway?
[It's now mine!]
WHAT?! You can't just steal my creations willy nilly Ddraig! You don't know how much time I spent making that armor!
[Well it's your fault for going all Balance Breaker while wearing that armor, besides, it's now more "OP" with my hands, I can even incorporate more tech to it later, kinda like a mecha dragon. But you should also be able to just activate it whenever you want.]
Uh-huh, but what about your Scale Mail form.
[You can also use it whenever you want to, and guess what you can do with it. You can use it alongside your Dung Beetle form and stay at 5th boost for however long you want due to your near-endless stamina, so you're welcome]
Fine fine, thank you Ddraig for your help. But I'm still gonna kill those girls though, now I need to rebuild most of my stuff from scratch without money, this is gonna suck.
AN: This is 2161 words, you're welcome.
It was really confusing in regards to Ddraig's Balance Breaker forms considering there were many but yeah, his base Balance Breaker form is Balance Breaker: Scale Mail.
But what did you expect, for Rintarou to decimate 5 girls who surprised attack him?
He's like not that op bro, even with his tech it can only do so much in the face of magic, and remember he is only a Middle Class Devil and Tier 3 mage, but wait until we face "The Man" because Rintarou will get serious, like really serious.
And he can't overpower them with his bots because they were crudely made but don't worry, he will start to develop a thing called paranoia and this is the first step to pushing him over the edge and just snap.
The Sword of Damocles hangs above each and everyone one of you with its ever present threat of despair, so send me some power stones with your power of friendship and save the thousands perhaps even millions to come who will read this masterpiece immortalized in the tunnels of time.
