Buzz!!
As the words fell, a formidable aura swept across the sky.
The air vibrated, and the ground cracked.
The skyscrapers of Greyrock Town swayed violently, as if caught in the eye of a storm.
The tremors came from the intense fluctuations of electromagnetic and Force Field Devices, coupled with the roaring of highly compressed energy.
The War Fortress in the sky ascended, activating its defensive systems and creating distance. Below, Rock and the others trembled in fear, their bodies shaking so violently they could barely stand.
"What a powerful mecha pilot!"
"Is this a star core-grade mecha?"
"No, it's more than that!!"
Trembling voices echoed repeatedly. High above, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Legendary-grade?"
He sensed an aura remarkably similar to Wang Cheng's—a Legendary-grade modification comparable to Angel-tier.
The black-gold mecha body was likely made of an incredibly durable material, possibly something like Rainbow Iron. The sword cannon turrets, which resembled flowing light, and the arc light rings concealed highly compressed advanced energy.
His eyes narrowed, revealing a cold, calculating gaze.
This is the nourishment I need.
Since the other party didn't cherish the opportunity, then...
Whoosh!
The figure vanished in a flash, leaving behind a fleeting arc of crackling electricity.
Dozens of meters were covered in the blink of an eye. His clenched right fist, propelled by a thick arm, pierced the air like a cannon barrel, driving forward in a straight line.
Whoosh!!
The air churned, and white vapor erupted like a cone-shaped wave.
Surging Qi and Blood and Force seemed to merge into one, their scorching heat distorting everything around them.
"Arrogant!"
A deep, cold voice echoed. The mecha man stood firm, meeting the attack with a punch of his own.
Boom!!!
The impact was like a cannon shell exploding, the deafening roar shattering the night sky.
The crystal fist of Glazed Crystal collided violently with the black-gold metal fist print.
The burning, explosive Scarlet Flame Force surged outward, painting half the night sky crimson. Yet between the mecha man's fist print, a honeycomb-like shield of blue light particles flickered in and out of existence.
This shield absorbed most of the intense heat. Furthermore, a humming vibration could be heard emanating from the mecha man's body, like the furious roar of an engine igniting!
Buzz!!
In an instant, the arc light ring device behind the mecha man erupted with black-gold brilliance.
A torrent of overwhelming power surged forth, while black-red flames spewed from behind his elbows, transforming into high-temperature energy.
Boom!!
In an instant, the gauntlet vibrated, blocking Chen Feng's attack.
Then, the mecha man's eyes blazed with light. The silent force field device on his body activated instantly, ensnaring Chen Feng's body like an invisible swamp.
"A domain-class mecha! Far above star core-grade!"
"What right do you have to be arrogant?!"
With a cold shout, the mecha man unleashed his left fist.
Turbulent air currents, driven by the gauntlet, left afterimages invisible to the naked eye!
Boom!!
A sonic boom echoed as Chen Feng, trapped in the silent force field, was struck in the chest.
A white vapor ring, traveling at Mach speed, exploded high in the sky, dimming the Glazed Crystal by a fraction.
Seizing the opportunity, the mecha man pressed his advantage, his fists unleashing a barrage of punches like a machine gun!
Boom boom boom!!
The earth-shaking vibrations continued relentlessly.
Honeycomb-like ion shields continuously appeared beneath his fists, triggered by the impact of his punches and the resulting recoil, stimulating the Mecha's automatic defenses.
"Each of my punches weighs five thousand tons! My fist speed exceeds twice Mach speed!"
"What can you possibly use to block this?!"
His booming voice echoed again as the mecha man's energy core spun at high speed.
The black fiberglass eyes stared down with cold indifference. Like an aerial cannonball, the mecha man sent Chen Feng flying backward with a devastating blow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The sound of punches echoed endlessly. Below, Rock and the others turned pale, their hearts pounding as if they were about to stop.
The rhythmic explosions seemed to follow an eerie pattern, threatening to burst their blood vessels and making it hard to breathe.
Boom!!
Another punch landed, exploding like a barrel of dynamite.
Chen Feng, sent hurtling through the air, felt his chest shudder. Cracks spiderwebbed across his Glazed Crystal, and a chunk was blasted away.
As if seizing the perfect moment, the mecha man's eyes flashed. His core suddenly channeled all its energy into his right fist.
Whoosh!!!
A whistle sharper than a sonic boom pierced the air, which thickened and became viscous. Visible currents of air flowed like water.
As if delivering the final blow, the black-gold fist armor, like a cannonball, distorted the sky.
Boom!!
The atmosphere exploded, and a white storm of air currents churned, shaking the entire night sky.
Yet, strangely, the expected shower of blood and flesh never materialized.
"A remarkable performance," a deep voice echoed, utterly devoid of emotion.
Chen Feng, his left fist curled into a claw, lowered his eyelids and caught the mecha man's punch.
The retreating figure defied gravity, hanging suspended in the high sky. His cold expression sent a chill through the mecha man's heart.
"You..."
The mecha man's gaze sharpened, then he noticed the light and flame swirling across the other's chest.
Despite dozens of punches, not a single mark marred the flesh beneath.
In fact, as the Scarlet Flame Force flowed, the cracked Glazed Crystal was reforged, becoming whole and even more radiant.
"Just a hair's breadth away from injuring me," Chen Feng said, glancing sideways. He had already grasped the mecha pilots' combat style.
An ordinary flesh-and-blood body couldn't withstand such intense combat, nor could a human mind make such swift and precise judgments.
Instead, they relied on the Mecha's unique capabilities.
Force Field Devices neutralized impacts and recoil, while power units and energy cores unleashed explosive force.
Yet all of this was largely dependent on advanced AI assistance and computational power to process combat commands.
In other words, without the Mecha, relying solely on his own body, the mecha man would barely reach the level of a first-tier Grandmaster.
"You!"
The words struck like thunder, utterly enraging the mecha man.
The sword cannon turret behind him, which had been charging up, no longer held back. Its high-powered energy buildup erupted in full force.
Boom!!
Two dazzling black-red beams shot forth, aimed directly at Chen Feng's head.
Compressed within them was the same high-temperature black-red flame, twisting half the night sky and causing hurricane-like air currents from the evaporating air.
Yet Chen Feng's movements were even faster.
His right fist, wreathed in Crimson Flame, shot out like a cannon barrel, carrying the Falling Sun with it. It struck the mecha man's chest and abdomen with the force of a meteor, as if to shake the heavens.
Boom!!
The honeycomb-shaped ion shield reappeared. The mecha man, standing a foot away, paled slightly as he saw the intelligent system's feedback on his Mecha's status.
[Defense System Damaged: 7%!]
[Plasma Energy Consumption: 15%!]
[...]
A series of alerts flashed across his screen. He switched his view to the incoming black-red energy beams.
His supposedly decisive strike had narrowly missed, and the silent force field had been forcibly broken through.
Everything slowed down under Chen Feng's Perception Focus.
Then—
Boom!!!
His left arm clamped down on the mecha man's fist, while his right arm shot out like a dragon.
His fist slammed into the mecha man's chest and abdomen, sending waves of force surging through him.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The thunderous echoes reverberated across the battlefield, mirroring the mecha man's earlier violent assault.
In just a few breaths, the tide of battle had completely turned.
The incredibly powerful mecha man shuddered violently, temporarily losing his ability to fight back.
The constant barrage of shockwaves from the punches, even with his ion shield and Mecha defenses, proved impossible to fully deflect.
"This is bad!"
"Lord Mead is being suppressed!!"
The scene was projected clearly onto the war fortress's main screen, prompting a chorus of shocked exclamations.
The black-gold Mecha could only passively defend, its data readings on the screen steadily dimming as its energy reserves plummeted.
Though the Mecha itself remained relatively intact, anyone could see that defeat was only a matter of time.
Mead, the mecha man, was equally aware of this.
Despite suffering no major injuries, his expression was grim.
The reason?
Warning: Mecha damage rate has reached 40%!
[According to the silent regulations, Deep Web Three will take control of Domain Nine's authority before the Mecha is recovered!]
The prompt flashed across the screen. Mead, a man with clenched fists, stared intently at the black-robed youth still relentlessly pounding the Mecha within the light barrier.
As if sensing something.
Chen Feng's movements faltered. The Golden Qi around him abruptly condensed, compressing into his chest.
Boom!!
The mecha man, who had been suppressed until now, suddenly erupted with immense force. Using the tail flames of his propulsion system, he forcefully rammed forward.
During this, the silent force field reactivated, disrupting Chen Feng's movements. It felt as though a mountain weighing thousands of tons had crashed down upon him.
Affected by this, the black-gold metal body surged forward like a war chariot, slamming directly into Chen Feng's chest and abdomen.
Bang!!
The sound of an explosion reverberated. Chen Feng's chest shuddered as he sidestepped to dissipate the force.
A flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes, but before he could react, the mecha man's arm armor erupted with Black Flame, launching a rocket-like punch.
Dong!!
Fist met fist. Chen Feng didn't flinch.
The frigid wind of their clash exploded outward like Wind Blades, causing the arc light ring behind the mecha man to suddenly blaze with light.
Buzz!!
A black-gold pillar of light shot into the sky, as if a powerful energy core had been completely ignited.
The surrounding gravitational magnetic field intensified, transforming the viscous air into an aerial swamp.
Chen Feng's spine shuddered, and he frowned slightly.
He could clearly feel the pressure on his internal organs surge again, doubling his energy consumption.
His veins stiffened, and the muscles condensing his power momentarily paused.
And in that instant of opportunity...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The mecha man stomped forward, his fist hurtling toward Chen Feng. Simultaneously, flames erupted from his feet and elbows.
The power of his airborne stance merged with the force of his punch. His black-gold metallic right arm, perfectly sealed by an ion shield, tore through the air resistance.
Before the sonic boom could fully resonate, the fist print had already reached Chen Feng's face.
Instinctively, Chen Feng wanted to counter with a punch of his own.
But as if anticipating his move, the two sword cannon turrets behind the mecha man activated their energy reserves, unleashing another barrage of laser beams.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The piercing sound struck Chen Feng's very soul. The laser cannons, infused with Bone-Corroding Black Flame, bore straight toward his face.
In that split second, Chen Feng could only raise his arms to block, forming a crossed shield.
Boom!!
The laser cannons and the metal fist甲 struck him simultaneously.
The violent impact felt like a speeding train collision, and the Bone-Corroding Black Flame erupted in a fiery bloom.
The viscous air swirled into a vortex, momentarily disrupting the surrounding gravitational magnetic field.
Clatter!
Finally, the high-altitude battle subsided.
Chen Feng, standing on Thunder Light with his arms hanging down, clearly saw the cracks spreading across the Glazed Crystal.
The Bone-Corroding Black Flame was being steadily extinguished by the Cosmic Flame. His arms trembled slightly as he looked at his opponent.
The mecha man hovered in mid-air, his body radiating a brilliant golden glow.
The arc light ring device behind him had somehow materialized in his palm, extending into a ring blade weapon.
Two sword cannon turrets disassembled into more black-gold streams, scattering into over a dozen small cannon muzzles that spewed flames, hovering to his left and right.
"Something's wrong," Chen Feng muttered, narrowing his eyes.
Though the mecha man looked the same, Chen Feng felt like he was facing a completely different person.
Not only were his combat movements more direct and experienced, but his combat reflexes, energy utilization, and overall skill had improved by several orders of magnitude.
As doubt clouded his mind, the black-gold Mecha flashed forward.
The ring blade weapon seemed capable of slicing through anything, its continuous energy blasts relentless.
The situation finally stabilized, and everyone inside the War Fortress breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness."
"deep web three has taken over the battle."
While awakened were skilled in combat and possessed extraordinary reflexes, an advanced AI supported by big data analysis and the city's computational power would inevitably surpass them.
Inside the Mecha, Mead felt the same.
"I might get a negative rating for this, affecting my future Mecha borrowing and promotion assessments..."
"But if I can kill you, that's enough to turn the tide."
His gaze hardened slightly as he forced himself to cooperate with the Mecha's AI, executing combat maneuvers to facilitate the machine's operation.
Meanwhile, the virtual light screen in his vision had already reported the local situation.
Zooming in on the map, he glanced at the periphery. Several blue dots were approaching—the nearest battle group fleet.
Once the joint blockade was complete, the enemy would be trapped, unable to escape even if they had wings!
