Dandy as ever

Life only exists because of death and death exists because of life.

'Can an eternal being live if he can't die?'

'Can there even be peace if there is no war?'

Odin looked at the passing scenery while smoking the wind on his face made him relax. As the charger drove at high speeds Odin fell into thought. His appearance didn't change from when the other personality took over with this caused an awkward atmosphere in the vehicle. The appearance with the mood where conflicting if one was around they could easily notice it.

Odin let go of the wheel as he inspected the stitches he had he remembered when he stitched his hands as a form of body art later on he took the identity of a mysterious villain.

He never chose a name but some called him the clown for the clown mask he wore others called him the cosplayer since he could become any person he wished. He lived a psychotic life during those times killing and chaos were the norm, Odin, always asked why was he like that was it the stress from everything lashing out?

Or the hatred that he was far from peace? He didn't know and now he didn't care at all Odin looked up and saw the setting sun on the horizon. A mask appeared on his hand and he put it on the stitches on the mask made the face of a clown the eyes in the mask looked chaotic.

"I'm too lazy to change from this appearance so ill just use it," Odin said he decided to take the other branching roads to view the barren wasteland.

Odin saw many things on his drive from normal animals to cybernetic creatures one of them was the size of a whale it was destroyed and was being consumed by the other creatures to upgrade themselves.

'Hey where are you?' omega asked.

'Outside the empire, I'm near Prague.' Odin responded

'Ok well, I'm at a gun store want anything?'

'See if they have an anti-mat rifle.'

'Ok and also where are we heading next?'

'You guys need to level up so another dungeon.'

'Ok I'll see you later.' omega said as he grabbed a large rifle from the man in front of him.

As Odin drove a company of mechs appeared in the distance heading in his direction Odin zoomed in on them they carried the flag of the lunar colonies. The mechs stomped their way through the barren earth towering above even the largest buildings of the past. But the largest was at the front reaching the clouds above the weapons it contained could easily turn a country maybe a continent into rubble.

"It seems they're Going to use the elevator over in Ukraine." odin said as he calculated their route it was the most accurate guess since the lunar forces were of course on luna. they were used to protect the colonies from the A and S rank dungeon.

Earth luna and mer had dungeons earth had the most lower-ranked one of course they had A and S dungeons but they were on the lower side.

Once one entered A rank they would be sub ranked and that would also determine the dungeons of said rank they could enter. They were many different sub ranks they would go by but the three common ones were.

(Vivere, Aetas, Aeternus)

(Taurus, Leo, Draco) was considered the standard by any nation

(A, AA, AAA)

S, SS, SSS)was a normal way civilians identified them

(A, A+, S-)

(S, S+, EX-) was used by those that wanted to sound grander than they were.

And dungeons would be ranked the first way officially earth was the safest place with the dungeons luna was second and mer was the third.

Earth was a world with a population of 4 billion which was the most highly populated world. Luna was second at 2.48 billion and mer came third with a population of 928 million people. most of mer was covered in only A and S rank dungeons so most of the top hunters were there. Most would say why where there people there but humanity's stubbornness was as ever-present as ever.

The only places without dungeons were the cloud cities of venus or the orbit colonies of sol but they were considered as very remote places.

The mechs were made before the appearance of the dungeons and were made during the early days of the apocalypse. The ones that were behind the colossus were named calvaria they were 60 meters tall made of high alloy and used tesla-powered weapons that shot a nanite swarm they could also turn into a spaceship for easy mobility but on a planet, it was best to walk.

The one leading the calvaria were called colossuses containing an entire command center they were the brains of the entire mech army and where the final option in a dire scenario only being used once during the siege of Antarctica.

The colossus used the Mjolnir to launch an attack on the cybernetic stronghold. this sunk nearly half the antarctic continent and around 68% of the south Atlantic ocean was evaporated. Now, these machines were even more powerful but they haven't truly been tested as it was and still is a last resort.

The main infantry where androids most would think after the war and apocalypse most would be wary of AI and cybernetics but no most people embraced it. It was only because the ai were given that programming that the war happened. Most used AI daily and even treated androids as normal humans.

Most countries have tried to convert the rogue AI from the war back to normal but with the split cyberspace, it was impossible.

Odin kept driving towards them as they wouldn't stop him one would be crazy to fight a company of 130 mechs alone a single mech could defend a city not to mention 130 of them even the colossus could be used for continental defense.

As Odin drove an android scout group drove towards him the car scanned him and the vehicle and let him pass as Odin got closer to the mechs more vehicles appeared surrounding him. The company would let him pass but that didn't mean they wouldn't keep their eye on him.

Odin didn't care even if he wanted to destroy the mechs it wouldn't be a problem as to him these were toys sold back in his world to kids. The weapons were low quality as Odin had an entire series of guns that were used to destroy worlds. they were all based on just normal weapons like the insuperabilis was a golden desert eagle that fired a similar round to a 50ae.

of course, the difference between a normal desert eagle and this one was that one could blow a hole in you and the other could destroy a planet the size of Jupiter. And the Mjolnir well he had the actual one so to him it didn't matter fighting mechs even though it was fun to ride them these didn't really attract his attention.

As Odin drove past the company, he zoned out only regaining himself once near the city limits the sun had set by now and the sky looked beautiful the light from the colony of luna flickered showing the signal that luna was safe.

Odin drove through the city heading to the coordinates Omega gave him he stopped at the hotel and parked the car nearby. Walking in he saw omega at the bar.

"So how are you?" Odin said as he sat next to omega.

"Dandy as ever." omega said as he drank the scotch.

"What about you?" omega asked as he called the bartender.

"Same as ever," Odin replied as he took out the stolen phone.

"You're still using that I feel bad for that girl?" omega said as he smirked.

"Oh no this is a duplicate I went back in time and returned it." Odin said as he looked for a fight to mer.

Omega ordered a few drinks for the two and they got to drinking of course to them this was basically water but to the patrons, this was something legendary as they drained the bar of its alcohol.
