Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1481: 216: Ruins, The Final Rampage

“Damn it, this has to be a trap set by the Gardot Empire!”

“Those idiots are still not retreating. Fine, let them stay and be target practice.”

Thus, the fleeing ships accelerated their escape.

This only served to further bewilder the surrounding fleet.

What was happening?

However, they quickly grasped the situation.

The fleet allied with Shura appeared to have vanished into thin air!

The abrupt disappearance of an entire fleet was a peculiar event in itself.

Especially such a conspicuous fleet!

“Where is the target?”

“Search failed.”

“Investigate the area where it just disappeared; there must be some residual heat signature.”

Multiple units immediately commenced their investigation, and soon, radar feedback arrived.

[Heat signature detected: Negative.]

[Optical lock failed.]

[Target has vanished from its original coordinates!]

Silence immediately fell upon everyone present.

What in the universe was going on?

“Mu Fan, this is the Arbitrator Stone from the Immortal Divine Race. Remember to tell Falcon that if this ship remains stationary, it can be cloaked. But if it moves, then this ship…”

“You’re too late,” Mu Fan interjected before Black, his gaze fixed on the Flying Dragon, which had just vanished and reappeared just as suddenly.

Falcon’s exasperated voice still echoed in his ear, “This is junk!”

“Can we return it?”

“Chief, you…”

“Never mind, I was just thinking aloud. Wasn’t the stealth supposed to work?”

The members of the Flying Dragon crew were, naturally, unable to answer this question. After all, it had been less than twenty minutes since the relic was first deployed in an actual combat scenario…

This was truly a difficult question for them to answer.

Upon seeing the warship cluster reappear abruptly on the screen, Falcon’s face contorted with rage.

“How long did that last? Was it even five seconds?”

“I, Falcon, whose reputation was built over a lifetime…”

At this moment, the beret-wearing man had no desire to light his beloved cigar.

This was an utter humiliation.

Boasting, once exposed, is like spilled water, leaving you nailed to the pillar of shame.

Sigh!

“Instructor Falcon…” Mu Fan’s voice chimed in softly, startling Falcon.

The man in the beret attempted to appear nonchalant. “What is it? Just showing you the experimental results. Isn’t it useful! We are still developing the mobile concealment feature, and I believe it will be operational soon!”

Listening to Falcon’s earnest stream of nonsense, Mu Fan felt as if dark lines were about to appear on his forehead.

“No, I actually wanted to talk about this Arbitrator…”

“Don’t worry, Mu Fan, I, Falcon, pledge my honor as the entire Flying Dragon crew to fully unlock the potential of this Arbitrator pyramid,” Falcon declared loudly, patting his chest as he gazed at the screen.

“I meant that while the Flying Dragon itself cannot cloak while moving, it can obscure the area directly beneath the ship!” Mu Fan, though reluctant to burst Falcon’s bubble, clearly felt this was not the time for Falcon’s wordplay.

“Huh? What did you say?”

Falcon blinked in surprise, seemingly unable to process Mu Fan’s words, but he quickly absorbed every word Mu Fan uttered.

A full three seconds passed in contemplation…

Falcon looked up at Mu Fan, then at Light Wave and Yi nearby. “Try it as Mu Fan suggested. Return above the fleet.”

“As you command, Chief.”

And so, under the bewildered gazes of the allied forces, the Flying Dragon maneuvered back.

Then, starting with the outermost large warship…

It truly began to vanish, piece by piece!

At this moment, the entire crew of the Flying Dragon watched in stunned silence.

“Mu Fan, how did you know?”

Falcon inquired, his expression a mixture of awe and disbelief.

He had just been thoroughly proven wrong by Mu Fan’s astute observation.

“I… saw… the way you looked when you were leaving them.”

Mu Fan finally managed a strained explanation, unable to reveal that it was information from the Immortal Divine Race!

“I accept that explanation.”

Falcon sighed, “Alas, getting old.”

“And more useless…” Ruan Xiongfei’s melancholic voice drifted in, instantly turning Falcon’s face as dark as a charred pot bottom.

Immediately, the Flying Dragon erupted in laughter.

“I understand.”

“Next, I will attempt an array combination,” Qi Longxiang’s gentle voice resonated.

At that moment, twenty X-wing Shadow Fighters deployed, several white trails rapidly streaking into the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Missiles, leaving trails of white smoke, detonated simultaneously.

The sky was instantly blanketed in a dense cloud of white smoke.

[All personnel proceed according to the designated route.]

Five main ships and four smaller escort vessels simultaneously received distinct route maps.

Even the precise speed corresponding to the time nodes was clearly marked.

Under Qi Longxiang’s command, all warships were operating at peak efficiency.

[Destiny in position]…

[Dawn in position]…

[Rock No. 2 in position]…

[Rock No. 3 in position]…

All ships successfully synchronized their navigation.

This time, the Flying Dragon proceeded at the predetermined speed.

The remaining four warships were completely concealed!

The white smoke screen began to dissipate…

The onlookers present had their eyes illuminated, only to soon be clouded with uncertainty.

“Federation warship Flying Dragon has been detected.”

“The other warships have vanished…”

“It appears the opposing side possesses mastery over this ruin technology.”

“Should we engage the Flying Dragon? They don’t seem to be in the aggressive “red T-Rex” mode. With their current speed, we can easily lock onto them!”

“If the Army Commander were here, he’d certainly blast your brains out. The Wild Dust Corps are monitoring us closely. We must depart immediately once our Firmament Corps exits the ruins. Have you forgotten the direct orders we received?”

The exchange between the two individuals echoed within a particular warship.

“That was my mistake. Fourteen of our people are still within the ruins; should we wait for them?”

“Continue waiting! We haven't provoked that Demon God Asura, and we're at a considerable distance; they won't detect us.”

However, just as the duo concluded their discussion and turned their gaze towards the area enveloped by the ruins' light beams.

The light beams, which had been intermittently disrupted by the violent shockwaves from the battles, began to surge with renewed intensity.

One after another, the beams converged and flickered erratically.

In an instant, thirty Chaos Giant Beasts emerged from within.

These colossal beasts, standing two hundred meters tall with razor-sharp claws and covered in white fur, immediately fixed their attention on the nearest warship or mecha upon their appearance, launching themselves forward with ferocity.

Pressing down, then leaping upward.

A single Chaos Giant Beast soared to an altitude of three thousand meters, directly smashing a rapidly passing destroyer into smithereens with a single blow!

“Roar!”

The accelerating emergence of these monstrous creatures seemed to signal the imminent conclusion of the Light Relics exploration.

Mu Fan observed these unfamiliar beasts, his brow furrowing slightly, but he did not dwell on them, instead turning his attention skyward and flying off.

With the appearance of these formidable beasts, the ships on the battlefield found themselves in an overwhelmingly disadvantageous position.

The majority of the Federation Fleet had already initiated their retreat.

He could not afford to squander time on futile engagements.

Especially not against thirty Chaos Giant Beasts!

“Standard retreat protocol. I will provide escort.”

As Shura ascended into the heavens, all the warships stationed above the dome simultaneously increased their speed, accelerating outwards.

They were utterly terrified of this Killing God!

Yet, as Mu Fan attempted his departure, the Chaos Giant Beasts showed no intention of allowing him to escape.

One of the colossal beasts suddenly launched itself into the sky.

Taking aim at the scarlet figure, it raised its claws high…

Then descended with a swift pounce!

“You are seeking death.”

Mu Fan’s eyes flashed with sharp intensity.

A resounding thud echoed.

Shura crossed his arms in front of him, abruptly turning to intercept the beast’s claw strike.

The sheer force of the Chaos Giant Beast sent Shura hurtling backward.

But in the same instant of being propelled, Shura thrust his hands forward.

He spread his arms wide, unleashing a powerful downward blow!

Witnessing the Chaos Giant Beast, mid-transformation, emitting a stretched howl, it was directly hurled in a wide arc into the massive planet fissure that had been previously cleaved open!

Meanwhile, a small warship was maneuvering erratically above the chaotic surface.

The sudden surge in Chaos Giant Beasts had completely thrown off this warship’s planned navigation trajectory.

The vessel lurched violently, causing Bai Guyue’s complexion to grow increasingly wan.

Thud, thud, thud.

Numerous objects were sent flying horizontally across the cabin.

“I cannot imbue them with my White Stone Poison… but they seem impervious to it!”

“This is an ideal specimen.”

Medicinal Plant Master Bai Yiduo, his aged yet keen eyes, now gleamed with intense fascination.

He showed no concern whatsoever for the occasional colossal claw that swept down from the sky.

“If even a fragment of their hide could be corroded, this would be a specimen, the ultimate specimen!”

“Grandfather, it’s far too perilous here, please don’t take such a risk.”

Bai Guyue struggled to maintain control of the warship, but the violent tremors made stabilization impossible; she was on the verge of losing her grip.

“For the sake of my research, this could be an opportunity to further enhance the White Stone Poison… to induce an unbearable sensation of pain!”

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the warship spun uncontrollably and was flung violently aside.

Bai Guyue’s frail body was instantly thrown from her position!

As for Bai Yiduo, caught off guard, he slammed into the wall, succumbing to unconsciousness.

“Grandfather!”

At this critical moment, Bai Guyue looked at her grandfather desperately clinging to a handrail, crying out in profound despair.
