Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 651 - 424: Arch Enemy, 17 Years of Secret History (Two - s Combined)
A fiery rain descended tumultuously from the sky, and everyone aboard the Sky Mother Ship widened their eyes.
Stunned, they watched this dazzling scene!
The massive and terrifying fleet of the Federation was almost entirely annihilated by this seemingly insignificant Black Mecha.
"Sir, our fleet..." the aide next to the colonel said bitterly.
"How dare this true demon provoke the Galaxy Federation!?" Several lieutenant colonels nearby still couldn't believe the sight, this fleet capable of dominating interstellar space had suffered such heavy losses!
"How many did we just lose?" Colonel He Gang asked solemnly, ignoring the others.
"Report, Colonel. We lost 328 third-tier cruisers, 187 fourth-tier battlecruisers, and 21 fifth-tier heavy gunships," the soldier standing next to them reported after saluting.
The number announced left even a colonel from the headquarters speechless.
It had been too peaceful for too long; many had never experienced such heavy losses throughout their military careers, their hearts were bleeding.
The direct economic loss from these more than 500 destroyed warships was already over several hundred billion Star Coins, and even more horrific, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and officers on those ships...
Now, these soldiers and their warships had perished together in the Land of Bright Star.
This place had truly become a burial ground for life and machinery.
"Please instruct our next course of action, Major General Wang!"
This high-ranking officer from the Federation headquarters finally showed a fierce expression on his face, indicating a decision had been made!
"Deploy the seventh, ninth, and tenth fleets for maneuver assembly, prepare for data chain sharing, ready for a sky curtain strike."
The officers by his side were shocked upon hearing this command.
It's well-known that the fleets ranked in the top ten are indeed the main fleets of the Federation, all equipped with at least fifth-tier battle gunships!
"General?..."
"Don't just stand there, go!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the General!"
With a salute, the officers hurried off.
This single attack had left an extremely unforgettable impression on the Federation military by the Shura Mecha.
Meanwhile, in the Thunderhawk, Ruan Xiongfei's brows were tightly furrowed as he let out a roar after seeing the huge hole torn in the sky dome.
The Thunderhawk's attack intensified, ferocious and rapid like a storm, yet it was always blocked at the last moment by that crimson-colored Mecha Body.
The four hovering True Red Swords always appeared from seemingly impossible locations, then thrust fiercely!
The Thunderhawk had clashed head-on with these four swords countless times, but when Ruan Xiongfei saw the energy bar drastically decrease, he finally gave up the idea of a frontal confrontation with these weapons.
With a flutter of its wings, the Thunderhawk entered Thunderstorm mode, like a Blue Hawk that had gone through intensive lightning, it dived at a speed that was nearly impossible to react to, and this time it was not a straight charge but seemed to follow a trajectory similar to a lightning strike.
This scene was incredibly similar to Mu Fan's use of the Arc Light Step Forward Slash when piloting his Mecha!
In a terrifyingly extreme Thunderstorm sprint, the Thunderhawk finally avoided the elusive True Red Swords at the last moment.
However, it was met by that crimson Mecha wielding two giant Half Moon Blades.
The True Red Equipment, enveloped in flames and seemingly unaffected by the Thunderhawk's Thunder Electric Field, engaged in fierce combat, matching the Thunderhawk blow for blow.
"If you want to stop that mecha in the sky, then you must defeat me... you're strong, but I can hold out for a while, huh? In the meantime, how many more warships can it destroy? Hahahahaha!"
This unrestrained and spirited laugh surprisingly left one feeling... uninhibited!
It was genuinely a presence whose words could influence hearts.
But ultimately, rebels are rebels!
The Federation hadn't seen a Revolution Army in over a hundred years, and though many may not show displeasure, they ultimately could not resonate with it.
Behind his mask, Ke Qingshan's eyes casually scanned the collecting screen above, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Such an impressive mecha!
Perhaps only by using the Destiny Weapon could I match it...
But, isn't it joyful to see numerous strong opponents emerge one after another?
In this universe, what could be more captivating than this?
Infinite opportunities and challenges are the driving force for constant advancement!
With his body fully integrated, Ke Qingshan raised his hands and then instantly formed an ancient hand seal over his chest.
True Red Sword Scarlet Moon Slash!
At that moment, he finally began to reveal the powerful trump card he was so confident about—
It turns out he was a telekinetic.
Thus, it seems apparent... the identity of True Red Equipment.
This is also a Telekinesis Mecha, powerful enough to contend with an S-class pinnacle.
Four True Red Swords suddenly shot violently into the sky, and then, moving so quickly they disappeared, crimson crescents suddenly emerged in the sky.
The appearance of such a phenomenon in the clear sky left those watching speechless—this truly was a miraculous spectacle!
They began to worry for the Thunderhawk, wondering how to defeat an enemy under such circumstances.
After all, this red mecha... belonged to the Revolution Army!
Owl Dragon Strike—Thunderous Fury!
Inside the cockpit, Ruan Xiongfei's back burst open with dozens of wounds, and his entire being seemed bathed in lightning.
Boom, boom, boom, countless thunderous sounds erupted in the sky, magnificent wings unfurled, with innumerable tiny beams beginning to connect the heavens and the earth.
A massive range attack was finally unleashed by Ruan Xiongfei, unconcerned about the consequences of using this forbidden move; all he wanted now was to shatter the mecha in front of him.
These detestable Revolutionaries!
Four Scarlet Moons vs thousand-yard lightning, at this moment, the audience was completely stunned by this magnificent scene.
And the Thunderhawk... was completely blocked on the outside.
The black Shura Mecha didn't even glance this way, even though the red mecha made such a protective gesture for it—it didn't spare it another look.
Because, whether it's humans, mechas, or warships, none that failed to damage it fell within Shura's attack range.
It was a mecha of reason, cold-blood, and madness combined, and its thoughts were now merged with the subconscious of a young man.
And in Mu Fan's eyes, since there was no danger coming from behind, he no longer paid any attention.
The violently beating heart finally began to calm down. Just now, urged by Shura, Mu Fan, who felt only a slight weakness after using Repetitive Breaking Realm Slash, was filled with the violent energy infused into his body.
This power, perfectly unified with his own, quickly freed Mu Fan's consciousness from exhaustion, entering an extraordinarily excited state.
Power restored, he could continue the attack...
All who block the way, are enemies!
Towards his enemies, there is only blood and death.
This is his path, the path of Shura's slaughter.
Those more than five hundred warships were not enough to quell the rage of Shura and Mu Fan; hence, he intended to continue his massacre!
This feeling was really exhilarating, the feeling of being at war with the entire world, that fearless spirit, became an irresistible catalyst for Mu Fan.
The continually burning Flame of Fighting Will, fierce and rampant in the chaotic sea of Mu Fan's spirit.
Mu Fan didn't know that on the combat screen in front of him, the energy indicator had already dropped to 41%.
Creating such terrifying lethality with such a small form was indeed something utterly incongruent with modern technology.
Compared to those gigantic SS-type Mechas, the Shura Mecha was well-known throughout the Outer Domain Galaxy for its extraordinary attacks and terrifying speed. However, it exposed a significant weakness.
That was its lack of a large-scale, terrifying group attack capability.
Unlike the Thunderhawk, which resembled a berserker warrior, the Shura was more akin to a sublime assassin who could decisively behead an enemy general amidst thousands of soldiers.
Once the Shura Blade ignited its flames, the sharp Blood Prison Blade could cut through anything, but it could not withstand the massive energy consumption.
However…
Mu Fan had no knowledge of the energy's progress, nor did he care; he only wanted to tear everything before him to shreds.
Only after tearing all his enemies apart could his anger be appeased.
Kill!
Blood-colored energy poured into his eyes, and his consciousness once again plunged into chaos.
The Shura Mecha readied its blade again, its cape billowing high behind it.
As this movement appeared, panic broke out again inside the warship.
They were already terrified by this horrific black Mecha…
This Mecha truly lived up to its name as a Killing Machine.
"Sky Curtain Strike commencing countdown... 10, 9, 8..."
This countdown echoed synchronously on the displays of thousands of warships, causing the soldiers to incessantly swallow their fear. This combat command, only utilized during military drills, was finally being executed at this moment.
They awaited the moment when the countdown reached zero, marking the beginning of the Federation's true counterattack.
But just then, the sky suddenly darkened.
An extremely abnormal signal fluctuation appeared instantly on all the warship monitors.
At that moment, the sky warning aircraft issued a shrill alarm!
"Severe energy fluctuations in the sky suspected to be a Realm-Breaking Gate, no… suspected wormhole?"
The voice of the reporting soldier underwent an extreme change in the communication channel, as they could hardly believe what they were witnessing.
How could that signal fluctuation be a Realm-Breaking Gate? It was clearly a space wormhole.
But, but, space wormholes couldn't possibly appear inside the atmosphere!
"Wait!"
At that moment, Colonel He Gang suddenly rushed forward to Major General Wang, his eyes fiercely fixed on the ripple patterns on the electronic display.
"This fluctuation… it's very much like that family on the border… Attack, attack!" His brain suddenly flashed back to a secret report he had once heard, and for the first time, Colonel He Gang completely lost his composure.
This could very likely be the Gardot Empire's Fleet!
As this realization dawned on him, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
"Redirect the Sky Curtain, attack!" This curly-haired Colonel snatched the communicator and shouted into the channel, his face flushed as he also pressed the synchronized attack button.
Though thousands of soldiers across numerous warships were confused and bewildered, they still loyally executed the orders.
Compared to the warship that had just detected the energy signal, the Shura Mecha that was rapidly ascending reacted much faster.
An almost instinctual sense of danger suddenly surged from the depths of Mu Fan's heart.
Even the blood-colored, chaotic sky in his consciousness began to show signs of violent fluctuations.
And within the combined Blood-colored Vision of Mu Fan and the Mecha, a corner of the sky was exhibiting energy fluctuations that had even formed a vortex.
The vortex was so large and continuously expanding, and the vague sense of danger was emanating from within it.
Moreover, the consciousness of the Shura Mecha began showing tendencies to detach from Mu Fan's thoughts.
This also caused a slight gap in the integration of their consciousnesses.
The audience below, they watched perplexedly as the black mecha suddenly halted midair.
"Why did it stop?"
"Is it out of energy, or is it preparing to escape?"
"What's going on!"
...
A flurry of discussions emerged from the crowd, the actions of that black demon mecha were linked to their livelihoods and lives.
Most of the audience would rather hope that the black mecha had vented enough and would leave on its own.
However, its current actions once again raised their anxiety.
"What is this… why?"
No one answered them because those who truly understood had heard the signal coming from the high-altitude warning aircraft.
The alarm was so piercing, it clearly indicated an event that the Federation did not want to see.
Seconds blinked past; the area of the sky that seemed to be completely darkened by an endless dark night stood out strikingly against the clear sky.
Just as that black curtain abruptly drew back, the sky strike from the Federation warships finally arrived.
The first wave of photon torpedoes launched, followed by the second wave of magnetic storm torpedoes, the third wave of particle cannons firing simultaneously, and the fourth wave of Gauss cannons fully charged...
The Federation Fleet's attack at this moment was like a mountain torrent, methodically unleashing in a brief time, turning the sky into a spectacle of intensely striking beams of light!
This was the true sky strike!
Boom!
A silver-white warship exposing its ferocious bow appeared, and just as its image emerged on the real-time screen, the countless strikes completely converged on that black curtain.
The silvery body of the warship had just appeared when it was swallowed by numerous luminosities...
Boom, boom, boom!
"The vortex energy reaction is gone, the space wormhole has annihilated, the warship's energy reaction is gone… a larger energy response detected!" gasped the reporting soldier in alarm.
A massive red dot suddenly appeared vibrantly on the combat radar.
Boom, boom, the radiant assault continued for a full thirty seconds before completely dissipating.
Yet, just when people were anxiously expecting, in the flagship's command room, both Colonel He Gang and Major General Wang looked up at the sky, where a gigantic black figure emerged amidst the brilliant light!
In front of the massive black figure was an umbrella-shaped invisible shield that instantly retracted, morphing into a terrifying riding spear tucked to the side.
The smoke slowly dispersed, and at the same time, a deep yet shocking male voice echoed beneath this dome:
"I'm sorry for the disturbance, but this welcome gift was perhaps too grand."
The towering figure of Rein Garneau, with an indifferent gaze, casually glanced over the warship now shattered into countless pieces before him, showing no concern for the Level 7 Cold Wind battleship that had used the Huangchuan Iron Curtain mode to stealthily infiltrate.
Perched within the cockpit, his view took in the entire scene effortlessly, yet his gaze still displayed no significant concern, even though there were countless Federation warships in the sky.
Finally, Rein Garneau's eyes narrowed, focusing intently on a small black dot in midair.
That shocking and deep voice echoed again, this time sending chills to countless listeners.
"Asura, it's been seventeen years... How have you been recently?"

PS: (I can finally come out and say that Dangdang, from birth till now, has always returned to his hometown for the New Year with four generations under one roof.
This year, due to my child and the novel, it's the first time Dangdang didn't go home for the New Year. Recently, with the local customs in Jinan and being in a state-owned company, human relationships are unavoidable, so updates were hard to guarantee, and I didn't want to stop updating, so I understand that the recent plot may seem padded, and I haven't dared to read book reviews or had time for them.
But tonight, after delivering the final gift, I can finally rest. I've already prepared the outline for the upcoming plot, and the story is set to move forward rapidly! Tomorrow… everything will return to normal. The owed updates, the additional twenty-five updates, thanks to everyone who has supported me - I will resume the regular update pace and storyline progression during the Spring Festival! Thank you to all my dedicated readers for your continued support!)
