The gift pack was still the same as before, and Rhodes planned to check it out last. The new mechanical monster was named Inpelaizer.
This was an exceptionally powerful mechanical beast. In terms of bug-like abilities, it was truly one of a kind among mechanical monsters.
The Inpelaizer was a mass-produced robot exclusively for the Dark Universe Emperor, Emperor Empera Seijin.
Height: 60 meters (some sources say 58 meters, but the official Japanese data states 60 meters).
Weight: 60,000 tons.
In terms of height and weight, it was a heavyweight contender.
When it first appeared, it easily overpowered Ultraman Mebius with its absolute strength. Even in his Brave Form, Mebius was still defeated by Inpelaizer.
Eventually, Ultraman Taro arrived on the scene and used the Strium Ray to blow up Inpelaizer's upper body. However, this powerful robot immediately regenerated.
Even after half of its head and body were destroyed, it could still regenerate. Not even Taro's Ultra Bomb, a life-and-lifespan-draining ultimate technique, could keep it down. Though the Ultra Bomb shattered Impleiza into pieces, it managed to reform itself, returning completely intact to continue mercilessly beating Taro.
The Inpelaizer was incredibly powerful. As long as it wasn't blown into fragments, it could rely on its self-repair ability to outlast its opponents.
In addition to its metal regeneration abilities, its dual shoulder cannons had enough firepower to make anyone question their life choices.
Its body could even spin, transforming into a freely rotating, super-powered turret capable of flying. The destruction it caused was truly terrifying.
The triple-barreled Gatling gun on its head was its primary weapon, capable of firing powerful yellow electron beams that rivaled Taro's Strium Ray.
Its hand-to-hand combat abilities were equally formidable—ordinary Ultramen were no match for it. Inpelaizer could easily suppress two Ultramen at the same time, something not many could achieve.
Its arms could also be equipped with the Emperor Blade and Drill Missiles, further enhancing its combat capabilities.
This machine was a true jack-of-all-trades: long-range attacks, high firepower, regeneration, and extreme durability.
Moreover, the Inpelaizer had spatial teleportation abilities, allowing it to freely transport itself across a planet.
It also could travel through space on its own, capable of transforming into a dark red fireball and traveling faster than light through the cosmos.
Its mode of travel was somewhat similar to how the original Ultraman and the cosmic monster Bemstar first arrived on Earth.
Without the main character's halo, Mebius unlocking his new Burning Brave form would have stood no chance against this terrifying robot.
Although Inpelaizer wasn't as famous as King Joe's, its combat power far surpassed King Joe's.
Furthermore, the monster summoned by Rhodes using the system could be upgraded. After being strengthened, the combat power of Inpelaizer would become even more terrifying.
Rhodes gritted his teeth and selected 20 mid-tier monster fragments from the system's mid-tier store, sacrificing them to synthesize Inpelaizer.
A flash of light illuminated the system space, and the gigantic black robot Inpelaizer was born.
After its synthesis, Rhodes eagerly began inspecting the upgrades for Inpelaizer.
[Metal Body and Armor Reinforcement]
[Greatly increases armor defense, as well as height and weight.]
[The metal armor of Impleiza can be upgraded 10 times.]
The cost for upgrades is as follows:
1st upgrade: 2,000 system coins.
2nd upgrade: 4,000 system coins.
3rd upgrade: 6,000 system coins.
... (scaling up to the 10th upgrade at 20,000 system coins).
After the final upgrade, Inpelaizer's height increases to a terrifying 160 meters, and its weight grows to 350,000 tons.
At this size, it becomes a rare, emperor-level titan, and its combat power would likely overwhelm even 10 emperor titans simultaneously.
Inpelaizer's regenerative metal is a miraculous material, comparable to the living metal of the Necrons.
While the Necrons' living metal can heal wounds, it cannot regenerate or reconstruct itself when destroyed.
In contrast, Inpelaizer can regenerate even if it's blown to pieces.
Upgrade Stages:
1st upgrade: Costs 10,000 system coins. Significantly enhances regeneration and transformation capabilities. Impleiza can modify its weapons as needed, such as transforming its fists into Emperor Swords, drills, or cannons.
2nd upgrade: Costs 100,000 system coins. Allows instantaneous regeneration of damaged metal. Even when shattered into fragments, Impleiza can reform itself.
Unless its molecules are erased at the material level, Inpelaizer is essentially indestructible. No matter how many times it's destroyed, it will always regenerate and return to battle.
This enhancement can truly be described as overpowered—what makes it most so isn't the boost to the combat abilities of the Invincible Iron but the fact that it provides Rhode with a new type of Ultraman-world metal.
And it's an unlimited freebie! Free stuff is always the best, isn't it?
Whether through the system's enhancement abilities or by slicing off a piece every day and storing it in the system space to let it regenerate, this is the ultimate free farming method.
The Invincible Iron itself possesses powerful regenerative abilities. It's no problem to slice off a few thousand tons daily, send it back to the system space, and let it restore itself.
Previously, Salome was struggling to figure out what material to use for her Ultra Warrior. After all, the combined metal materials from the Ace Killer's gear were only barely enough to create a single Ultra Warrior.
If ordinary metals were used, the combat power of the Ultra Warrior would take a significant hit.
Now, this regenerative metal is the perfect solution. Its hardness is on par with the Ace Killer's metal—after all, it can withstand Ultraman Taro's Streamer Ray head-on.
It's even perfect for creating powered exoskeletons or mobile suit armor.
And Inpelaizer's enhancements don't stop there!
The cannons on its shoulders and the triple cannon on its face can also be upgraded, each with two enhancement levels: the first for 5,000 gold coins and the second for 10,000 gold coins.
However, its spatial teleportation and interstellar navigation capabilities cannot be enhanced—they're already broken enough as they are.
Rhodes immediately summoned Inpelaizer, a colossal being standing 60 meters tall and weighing 60,000 tons.
He teleported with Inpelaizer to a desolate area and summoned the Ace Slaanesh Slayer.
Then, Rhodes commanded the two Titans to attack each other to test their combat power.
Inpelaizer was over ten meters taller than the Ace Killer and had far more imposing metal armor.
Following Rhodes' orders, the two giants clashed. Rhodes began by testing their melee capabilities.
In close combat, without using weapons, the Ace Slaanesh Killer was completely outmatched by Inpelaizer. It was a one-sided beatdown.
The Ace Slaanesh Killer's punches were ineffective against Inpelaizer—their power levels weren't even close.
After testing its physical strength, Rhodes moved on to test its ranged capabilities.
He had the Ace Killer fire its Metallium Ray to duel with Inpelaizer in a beam clash.
In terms of ranged energy attacks, the Ace Slaanesh Killer held the upper hand, having undergone enhancements. Furthermore, it could draw on the divine power of the Slaanesh to further boost its beam attacks.
When weapons were allowed, Inpelaizer's arm transformed into a massive black Emperor's Blade, clashing against the Ace Killer's purple rune-forged magic sword.
The black steel greatsword and the purple magic sword collided with bursts of sparks.
The Slaanesh-enhanced purple magic sword was formidable, its hardness rivaling—if not surpassing—the Emperor's Blade.
However, the Emperor's Blade relied solely on physical attacks, lacking the sinister abilities of the purple magic sword. In weapon clashes, the Ace Killer had the upper hand.
After some back-and-forth, Rhodes gained a clear understanding of Inpelaizer's combat capabilities.
Initially, it could fight the Ace Killer to a standstill, with the Ace Killer even gaining an edge. The purple magic sword could cut through the Emperor's Blade, and the Ace Killer's enhanced Super Metallium Ray—imbued with divine power—could seriously damage Inpelaizer.
However, the Ace Killer couldn't outlast Inpelaizer.
Destroying Inpelaizer in one go is beyond the Ace Killer's current capabilities.
Unless its destructive power surpassed Ultraman Taro's Ultra Bomb, it's impossible.
In a prolonged fight, the Ace Killer would inevitably be worn down to defeat.
And this is without any enhancements! If it were upgraded, it would easily crush the Ace Killer.
It's no wonder this machine monster was drawn from the mid-level store—Inpelaizer's appearance was a massive surprise for Rhodes.
After evaluating all of Inpelaizer's capabilities, Rhodes opened a mysterious gift box. Inside lay a pitch-black longsword—the Dark Cosmic Emperor's Sword! The Empera Blade!
