"Outsider, you have violated a total of five silent regulations!"
"Immediately seal your Life Energy, suppress your flesh's vitality, and submit to detention for investigation. Leave with us now."
"Otherwise, we will take necessary measures!"
The cold, mechanical voice of the AI continued to echo as the massive War Fortress loomed across the sky.
Hundreds of precision mechanical soldiers, Mecha Warriors radiating powerful Magnetic Fields, a Force Field sealing off the world, and floating turrets charging energy—
This was the first time Greyrock Town had ever faced such a display of force, a spectacle nearly equivalent to a medium-scale war.
Countless hearts trembled in fear, yet most eyes were drawn to the black-robed youth standing at the entrance of the lodging shop, illuminated by the blinding white searchlight beams.
Yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. He looked to be in his mid-twenties.
"Is that him?"
Wei Hao, standing closest, widened his eyes in disbelief. Rock, who had felt something amiss all along, paled slightly.
Everyone who had interacted with the youth found it impossible to remain calm, including Morg, the black-skinned, bald man who had previously threatened him.
"You... you..."
Morg's pupils contracted, and goosebumps erupted across his dark skin.
An icy chill surged from his feet to the top of his head. He couldn't accept this reality.
You're supposed to be a newcomer!
A commoner Rock barely saved, someone who barely understands the wilderness!
Why...
He was paralyzed by terror, but a sliver of hope flickered within him.
Could the main city circle have made a mistake?
"Outsider!"
"You have ten seconds left. Ten... nine... eight..."
A cold countdown echoed through the air. Above, the War Fortress's main cannon shifted, its particle energy gathering.
Mecha Warriors activated their combat modes, and every mechanical soldier and aircraft leveled their weapons, joining the floating turrets in precise targeting.
"Impossible... impossible..."
The bald black man lost all hope, instinctively backing away.
His teammates trembled with the same fear.
Yet...
Tap... tap...
Footsteps echoed as Chen Feng walked forward, never once glancing at them.
"Thank you."
He turned to Wei Hao, his voice halting and unfamiliar as he spoke the Tedo Kingdom language he had just learned.
Morg's expression froze, his eyes wide with shock. He hadn't even recovered when the mechanical announcement from the fleet continued: "Six... five... four..."
Chen Feng took another step, brushing past the terrified Morg.
"You are too weak. You're not even worthy of providing me with nourishment."
His voice was calm, still halting, but noticeably more fluent than before.
Morg's face was pale with fear, his body trembling. Chen Feng slowly began to ascend.
This sight left the onlookers stunned and bewildered. The mechanical announcement from the sky finally reached its conclusion: "Three... two... one..."
Boom!!
The floating turrets and aircraft, locked onto their targets, fired simultaneously. Dazzling energy beams erupted into blinding, scorching light, tearing through the night sky.
Screech!!
Crimson and azure energy ripped through everything, briefly illuminating the entire night.
Solar-powered lamps in Greyrock Town shattered instantly, and a surging shockwave erupted like a hurricane tornado, forcing everyone to shield their eyes.
"Hahahaha!!"
Morg, who had been trembling with fear just moments before, suddenly burst into laughter. His expression shifted like a page turning in a book.
High-and-mighty act?
Spared me?
Morg watched the figure in the sky being consumed by the Energy Cannon with unrestrained satisfaction. He couldn't even remember how many times he'd escaped death using this method.
But in the next instant, his smile froze. He suddenly realized something was wrong.
The red and blue energy beams were dimming, and the black-robed youth in midair had somehow been encased in a crystal shield like glazed glass.
The golden light emanating from the shield was even more peculiar. It seemed to be repelling the energy blasts inch by inch, blocking the beams and pushing them back a foot away from his body.
"You seem quite pleased," Chen Feng said, his eyelids drooping, his voice calm.
Morg's expression stiffened. He opened his mouth to speak.
"I..."
Boom!!
Morg's black, bald head exploded like a watermelon, and the crushing pressure of the storm descended.
The awakened Morg, who possessed enhanced physical abilities, died instantly. Around him, the tall buildings swayed violently, and the cracked concrete earth began to tremble.
Everyone present felt an indescribable sense of shock and oppression. The air distorted, and their bodies trembled.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The empty cans scattered across the town square were instantly crushed flat. Cracks appeared in the concrete ground, and rusty pipes twisted and deformed.
The crowd gasped in horror. Even Master Yan, the strongest protector in Greyrock Town, and Rock, another awakened individual, widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the youth suspended in mid-air, as if a demon god had been resurrected.
Aircraft swayed and plummeted, their Force Field Shields rippling violently, nearing their breaking points.
The Blue Light Barrier sealing off Greyrock Town showed signs of instability. Floating turrets cracked, and the entire world was enveloped by an invisible aura of power.
It was like a hurricane sweeping through, or a tornado ascending to the heavens.
"Indeed, besides his flame abilities, he also wields a form of mental attack akin to telekinesis."
"Be careful. He's also concealing a domain-class metal weapon."
A voice crackled from the War Fortress high above, and the mecha squadron leader, commanding hundreds of mechanical soldiers, nodded in response.
In the next instant, the Mecha Warriors scattered across the sky and the hundreds of mechanical soldiers simultaneously raised their arms, their palm cannons firing blue beams!
Buzz!!
A piercing, ear-splitting buzz erupted, as if tearing the sky and earth apart. The sound sent tremors through Greyrock Town, causing eardrums to ache, faces to pale, and many to collapse to the ground.
A powerful pulsed magnetic field, combined with gravitational tactics and sonic shockwaves, formed an inescapable net. Even hurricane tornadoes were extinguished under its crushing force.
Ring after ring of blue arcs pressed down relentlessly, momentarily suppressing the invisible Wrath of the Storm.
The aircraft that had survived the initial assault seized the opportunity to unleash a barrage of energy cannon fire. The floating turrets began to converge, shrinking the barrier to completely seal off the area.
Just as they were about to fully contain the Pinnacle Intent and launch their ultimate Life Silence strike, a deafening roar shattered the illusion.
Roar!!
The Tiger Roar shook the heavens, instantly shattering the pulsed magnetic field and unleashing a deafening, ear-splitting buzz.
A crimson gold tiger, a hundred meters in size, soared into the sky like a divine creation forged from pure flame.
The magnetic field and gravitational suppression vanished instantly. Nearly a hundred mechanical soldiers exploded midair, consumed by the Crimson Tiger True Intent.
The star core-grade mecha pilot leading the charge stared wide-eyed as he melted away, his formidable strength—comparable to a Flying General—never even fully revealed before his life force was extinguished.
"Is this all the power you have to capture me?"
Chen Feng sneered, his body enveloped in swirling flames.
The detached golden light had already retracted, stimulating his body. His invisible aura surged once more, erupting into the sky with a thunderous roar!
The remaining hundreds of mechanical soldiers were engulfed by Wrath of the Storm once more, their central processing units and chips destroyed in the impact.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Blazing flames erupted across the sky, and wreckage rained down like meteorites.
Then, several Blazing Suns simultaneously rose into the air, hurtling toward the surrounding aircraft and floating turrets like fiery meteors.
In an instant, the night sky was consumed by firelight, and wreckage from countless machines fell like a dense downpour.
"Warning: Target's Life Energy Field is rapidly increasing!"
"Warning: Mechanical squadron destruction rate: 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%!"
"Warning..."
Warning after warning echoed through the War Fortress, the cold, intelligent analysis and data merging into a single stream.
The crew aboard the warship sank into despair, their eyes glued to the holographic display.
The battle outside was crystal clear: the unfamiliar awakened was slaughtering the enemy in the sky.
Each punch sent a hundred-meter-tall flame pillar soaring into the sky, incinerating everything in its path.
Meanwhile, a hundred-meter-tall Scarlet Gold Fierce Tiger materialized from the void, its every pounce devouring and melting multiple aircraft simultaneously.
Boom!!
A star core-grade mecha pilot was struck through the chest mid-air, their sturdy Mecha and flesh alike melting under the intense heat.
Another mecha pilot rushed forward to provide support, but before they could even react, the black-robed youth's left arm shot out like a tiger's claw, seizing the warrior's black metal head.
"Now, I'll give you one chance."
Chen Feng raised his cold gaze toward the War Fortress. He knew that was the Tedo Kingdom's main force and the source of their confidence in ambushing him.
"Ten seconds. You have only ten seconds to make your choice."
Suspended high in the sky, his left arm gripping the Mecha Warrior's head, Chen Feng ignored the struggling pilot and slowly lifted them inch by inch.
The Crimson Tiger True Intent, hungry for flesh, coiled behind him, surrounded by several blazing suns that had already annihilated the last few aircraft.
Boom!!
Flames erupted, and the wreckage of the aircraft plummeted to the ground in a plume of black smoke.
Below, Rock, Wei Hao, and the others barely recovered from the lingering shockwaves of the Magnetic Field, standing frozen in awe.
Gazing upward, they witnessed the lone figure facing the War Fortress high in the sky, and they felt as if they were beholding a god.
"Who... who is he?"
Doubtful thoughts flooded their minds as the Crimson Tiger True Intent soared into the sky once more, shattering the Blue Light Barrier that enveloped the area.
The final floating turret exploded, leaving only the pursuing War Fortress.
Visible to the naked eye, crimson energy gathered in the main cannon, its power output steadily increasing.
"Three seconds left," Chen Feng said coldly, unmoved.
It felt like a century-long war was about to erupt, yet at the very last moment...
Hiss! Crack!
A sharp sound echoed as the War Fortress's main cannon suddenly halted its charge.
Then, the hatch opened, and a figure emerged—a towering, all-black Mecha adorned with golden patterns, hovering in mid-air.
"S-Rank Physical Body strength, flame manipulation ability, and a suspected Mental Shock... Your power has earned my respect."
The deep voice clearly belonged to a man. The Black Armor-clad figure, adorned with golden patterns, stood a full three meters tall.
Visible to the naked eye, streaks of black-gold light streamed from the Warship, hovering behind him to form a radiant halo.
Two sword-shaped cannon turrets floated on either side, their exhaust flames resembling metallic wings.
"But..."
"I do not appreciate your arrogance."
Buzz!
As the words fell, the hovering figure moved to face Chen Feng, standing just dozens of meters away.
Flickering black electromagnetic arcs danced across his body, and his Fiberglass black-gold eyes flashed with cold light.
"Even without the War Fortress, the seventh fleet could easily crush a shadow person like you."
"And I will make you understand that you are not yet worthy of looking down on us."
