Boom!!
The ninth legion's warship, its barrier shattered to pieces, exploded violently, the massive hull struck by a platinum fist imprint.
Even at maximum power, the silent force field was brutally torn apart. Flames erupted skyward, painting the night sky crimson.
Affected by this, the other two warships were also ensnared, swaying violently.
High above, the Platinum Giant rained down a flurry of punches, whipping up hurricanes that swept across everything below.
And beneath it all...
Boom!!
Blood rained down as the azure-black figure matched the giant's ferocity.
A star core-grade mecha pilot, caught in close combat, had their chest pierced and instantly exploded.
The azure-gold fist imprint slowly retracted, as the urgent roar of fighter jets grew closer.
Chen Feng's Perception caught the sound. His eyelids drooped, but he didn't need to turn around.
Boom!!
A spinning side kick exploded with power.
The ion light shield shattered instantly. The star core-grade mecha, comparable to a Flying General, was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, colliding with an aircraft that couldn't dodge in time, triggering an explosion.
In just a few breaths, the night sky had transformed into a scene of brutal carnage.
Mecha and aircraft exploded one after another, their fiery wreckage raining down from the sky like meteor showers.
Notifications about absorbing Metal Essence kept appearing, causing Chen Feng, the Azure Armor with a single horn, to pause and look up slightly.
Whoosh!!
A scorching beam of light several meters thick pierced through a hundred meters of space, hurtling towards him.
Its immense power rivaled that of Earth's high-grade energy cannons, capable of piercing through anything and vaporizing everything.
Yet, he neither dodged nor flinched. The only change was the sudden gathering of black light on his Azure-Black Unihorn.
Buzz!!
The Black Flash shot out like lightning, while the scorching light formed a pillar of fire.
The two energy blasts collided in a straight line, cleaving the sky in two.
After a brief standoff, the Black Flash suddenly swelled, like a black Flood Dragon devouring the scorching light, and surged upwards.
Boom!!
A honeycomb-shaped ion light shield instantly materialized, barely managing to block the Black Flash.
The corresponding power levels and destructive data were analyzed and calculated by the intelligence system. Behind the shield, the Deep Crimson mecha man's face grew grim.
This is S-Rank energy output! How can it be suppressed?
And this Azure-Black, incredibly durable chassis... Could it also be a domain-class mecha?
Doubt arose, and then dozens of mechanical soldiers were deployed onto the battlefield, their bodies glowing with blinding red light.
Suicide bombing attacks—they were using compressed, specially designed energy explosive rounds.
Meanwhile, a silent force field activated, turning the air into a thick, viscous swamp, restricting Chen Feng's movements.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Mechanical soldiers continued to fall, seemingly about to self-detonate and strike him.
But just then...
A massive black sphere suddenly appeared, perfectly positioned above Chen Feng's head.
Boom!!
A Dark Flash Burst erupted, instantly obliterating all the mechanical soldiers.
The sky fell silent for a moment, but Chen Feng showed no joy.
Because...
Thud!!
Raising his arm to block, his ion light shield materialized once more.
The surging shockwave tore through the Force Field's restrictions, and a domain-class mecha materialized beside him at some unknown point.
The grinding sound of metal on metal echoed, sparks flying across Chen Feng's vision as he made out the mecha's form.
It had a streamlined silver-white metallic body, a thick silver floating turret on its back, and two light wings.
Without hesitation, the mecha pilot issued an immediate command.
Whoosh!!
The floating turret unleashed a silver beam, its highly compressed special cryogenic source aimed directly at Chen Feng's face.
Crimson Gold Steel Bone had already sprouted, forming a Nanoshield in front of him.
Crack! Crack!
Frost crystallized, and the temperature plummeted.
Silver frost spread inch by inch across the Steel Bone shield, and Chen Feng felt a momentary stiffness in his Qi and Blood and muscles.
Before he could recover,
Whoosh!!
Another mecha, its Deep Crimson frame surging forward, unleashed a devastating punch.
Tiny Energy Cannon muzzles on the fist armor converged crimson light, as if preparing to unleash a world-shattering blow.
Chen Feng frowned and instantly activated his Gravity Well.
Whoosh!!
The intense gravity warped the air, rivaling the power of a Silent Force Field Device.
The opponent clearly felt a moment of discomfort, yet the metal elbow hurtling toward Chen Feng suddenly expelled pressurized air, accelerating a second time.
Just as the blow was about to land, the Night curtain high above suddenly lit up.
Glancing upward, Chen Feng saw a Scarlet Gold Blazing Sun had somehow coalesced, hanging directly above his head.
Then—
Boom!!!
A violent explosion shook heaven and earth, the blue light of the ion light shield vanishing and reappearing.
The two Mecha Warriors, one Deep Crimson and the other Silver-White, slid back dozens of meters. Wisps of evaporating white mist drifted from their crossed arms, which had blocked the attack.
"Truly troublesome," the Silver-White Mecha Warrior said, her light wings fluttering to stabilize her retreat.
Her voice was that of a woman.
"Even absolute zero can't restrain him. What exactly is he?"
"I don't know," the Deep Crimson Mecha Warrior replied, his voice heavy with concern.
Their conversation was filled with gravity. They had initially thought this would be a simple mission to claim some easy glory, but instead, they had stumbled upon a peerless monster.
Strength, speed, defense... he had no weaknesses, no vulnerabilities.
As they looked on, the Crimson Flame finally dissipated, revealing the Azure-Gold Unihorn figure still standing in place. The Silver-White frost had been burned away, crumbling inch by inch.
The crimson Fiberglass head tilted up, and for a fleeting moment, both Mecha Warriors felt a pang of fear.
"Should we let the deep web take over?"
A deeply humiliating thought arose, and their faces were etched with resentment.
Allowing intelligence to take over often resulted in a lower score, so no one would resort to this unless absolutely necessary.
Yet, the main Warship in the high sky was currently engaged by the colossal Platinum Giant, unable to provide any support.
The ion light shield, resembling a colossal honeycomb, continued to tremble violently, forced into a defensive posture under the relentless bombardment of mountain-like fist imprints.
Had it not been for the Warship's main cannon lasers momentarily pushing it back, the Ninth Legion's tragic fate might have befallen them as well.
Buzz!!
Just then, the sky shuddered.
The near-perfect Night curtain rippled and undulated once more, as two more Warships crossed over and landed.
Like celestial behemoths surveying all life, their cold searchlights pierced through everything.
"Good!"
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
Both domain-class Mecha Warriors' faces lit up with joy. Just as they were about to launch a counterattack to eliminate the enemy, Chen Feng paused, his brow furrowing slightly.
He looked up to see the two new Warships rising like colossal beasts from the sea.
At their bows, hulls, and sterns, dozens-of-meters-thick main cannons had already completed their energy buildup, as if they had been receiving signals from this location all along.
Then...
Boom! Boom!!
The Night curtain was once again illuminated, blinding everyone in Greyrock Town.
The sky seemed to roar and tremble, the ensuing hurricane uprooting forests and shattering the earth.
The blinding light persisted for an unknown duration, causing abandoned high-rise buildings in the ruined town to collapse one after another.
Finally, the sky's brightness began to fade, and the Night curtain of countless stars reappeared.
Four hundred-meter warships hung in the air like colossal beasts, suppressing the world.
Red and blue lights flashed incessantly as aircraft and floating turrets descended one after another.
Nearly a thousand mechanical soldiers scattered in all directions, while Mecha Warriors, each leading a squad, began a carpet search as if they intended to overturn the ground.
"This..."
The people of Greyrock Town trembled at the sight.
Focusing their gaze, they realized that the Platinum Giant, which had rivaled the warships in size, had vanished without a trace.
The figure of the young man in the black trench coat had also disappeared.
"Could he have been blasted to pieces?"
Someone swallowed nervously, trembling as they asked from outside the small inn.
But no one could answer.
Master Yan, the awakened who had been protecting them, and Rock's scavenger team all felt their throats dry, falling into a tense silence.
Even as they watched the mechanical soldiers descend, activating their scanning modules and spreading out, and as aircraft with searchlights and biological scanners flew low overhead, they all entertained an unbelievable thought.
The powerful warrior.
He might have escaped unscathed.
Whoosh!!
The Platinum Colossus shrunk in size, streaking across the sky like a Flying Eagle.
Its Golden Armor, visible to the naked eye, had lost its luster and was marred by several cracks. Its body, crafted from rock and alloy, bore numerous charred scars.
These were the marks of laser cannon blasts from the Warships' main cannons, their power exceptionally formidable.
If faced alone, the Colossus would have been undaunted. But when these Warships employed coordinated tactics, they became incredibly difficult to deal with.
"Four fleet battle groups..."
Chen Feng's eyes flashed as he stood on the Holy Shield Colossus's shoulder, recalling the final moments of the battle.
Four Warships, several Mecha comparable to angels, and the mechanical legion that knew no pain or death.
If he had stayed, continuing the fight, he might have been able to turn the tide with the Holy Shield Colossus and destroy all the enemy forces.
But he couldn't guarantee his own safe escape.
Because...
He looked up at the nearly perfect Night curtain, where thousands of stars twinkled faintly and two moons, one large and one small, hung suspended.
He suspected that this sky was equipped with some kind of Sky Eye System tracking device.
Moreover, the Warships' repeated appearances proved one thing beyond doubt:
The Tedo Kingdom had indeed mastered some form of space-warping technology, enabling them to provide fleet-scale support in a matter of moments.
If they delayed any longer, Chen Feng suspected, more warships would likely appear, completely sealing them off and surrounding them.
"So this is what true national power looks like."
Chen Feng clenched his fist, thinking of the Red Nation and the Platinum Federation on Earth.
When the Nanjiang black tide erupted, warships from the Red Nation had already arrived via spatial warp to provide support.
Comparing the two, the situation was remarkably similar to the Tedo Kingdom's, though there was still a gap in spatial warp and mechanical technology.
With a sigh, the man and his colossus continued their rapid journey.
During their flight, wisps of Earth Vein Power were drawn in by the Holy Shield Colossus, transforming into a hazy brown light to heal its wounds.
Chen Feng took the opportunity to glance at his status panel.
[Steel Bone LV6: 88/100]
[Heart of Glory LV6: 26/100]
This battle had been quite fruitful.
The mecha warriors had served as excellent nourishment, allowing Steel Bones to absorb a large amount of Metal Essence and rapidly advance, nearing a breakthrough.
As for Glory Points, while not as significant as those earned from battling the Evil God Angel and the Black Tide, this had still been a formidable campaign.
The Heart of Glory had also risen a notch.
But that wasn't all.
Because...
Lowering his gaze, Chen Feng looked at the panel again.
[Azure Armor LV8: 1/100]
"Finally leveled up."
Chen Feng sighed slightly. His original goal for this journey had been to find nourishment for Steel Bones, but Azure Armor had ended up breaking through first.
Despite the low quality of the Fear Value, he had forced it to its limit, shattering the critical point.
Immediately, he cleared his mind of all distractions.
Chen Feng closed his eyes slightly, carefully sensing the mental feedback from his talent upgrade.
