The same moment.
Tianxia Federation, Metal Council Headquarters.
An advanced laboratory made from incomparably hard void metal.
Inside the isolation chamber.
A slender young man clad in a white combat suit is quietly sleeping. From his chest, a gear-shaped pure white crystal is slightly suspended, about the size of a fist, seeming to rotate around a non-existent vertical axis. With each rotation, mysterious powers engulf and madly distort the surrounding void metal. The Knight-level mecha placed silently around the isolation chamber, tall and mighty, are presently reduced to flowing liquid pools.
Infinite mechanical power continuously flies out from the gear, rapidly merging into the young man's body. From all directions, the liquid metal flows like streams, slowly enveloping the platform like a myriad of tentacles.
As time passes, the prototype of a mysterious mecha gradually emerges.
Not particularly tall, nor menacing.
