Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1482: 217: Shadow Sets Sail
Previously on Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy...
The deafening roar of a Chaos Beast unleashed a shockwave that effortlessly engulfed these vessels.
Bai Guyue found herself aboard a mass-produced, high-end civilian exploration ship.
Its interior had been custom-outfitted specifically to Bai Yiduo’s preferences.
This vessel was designed for exploration, navigation, and research, its capabilities limited to short-range jumps!
Consequently, the ship lacked the robust defensive systems of a military battleship.
Especially when confronted by the claw blade of a Chaos Giant Beast…
Its hull was as fragile as paper!
A single swipe would instantly tear it asunder.
At that precise moment, as Bai Guyue cried out in fear, neither of them realized that the malevolent gaze of a Chaos Giant Beast had momentarily fixed upon them.
The Chaos Giant Beast peered down, and the ship, careening through space, fell directly into its line of sight, appearing as though it would collide with its underbelly…
Thus, it casually raised a claw…
As the ship plummeted, it merely needed to press down.
The object perceived as ‘flying’ within its vision could be easily obliterated.
The entire sequence of events unfolded with chilling naturalness…
Within Bai Guyue’s view, a shadow began to materialize. She looked upward, just in time to witness the colossal palm descending from the heavens, resembling a mountain.
The remaining time for her seemed to be less than five seconds!
Gazing at the unconscious old man nearby, Bai Guyue bit her trembling lips firmly.
A voice, tinged with weakness and tremor, echoed through the public channel, laced with both timidity and distress.
“Mu… Fan…”
What?!
Mu Fan, ascending as the Shura, abruptly halted his movement.
[Sound source confirmed, identity identified as Bai Guyue.]
[Target warship locked.]
Mu Fan glanced back sharply, catching sight of the warship plummeting directly into the shadow of the Chaos Giant Beast’s descending palm.
Bai Guyue!!
“The warships that just vanished – we didn’t detect any transportation force field. Should we investigate?”
“Don’t court death! Didn’t you see that Killing God escorting them… Hmm? Where did that mecha go?”
The two individuals conversing abruptly fell silent, their voices ceasing mid-sentence.
In the blink of an eye, the Shura had completely disappeared from view.
The Chaos Giant Beast, having already raised its claw to its apex, did not even bother looking down, merely flicking it casually.
It was akin to a Category Ten hurricane suddenly erupting from the sky.
The young woman, observing the descending shadow above, gritted her teeth and forcefully lowered her head.
Boom!
The deafening sound seemed to reverberate right beside them.
From the heavens to the earth, the Chaos Giant Beast unleashed a ring-shaped shockwave, spanning over a hundred meters in diameter, with a single palm strike.
While formidable, it was practically insignificant amidst the chaos presented by other Chaos Beasts…
However, at that precise moment, as the Chaos Giant Beast let out a sudden, upward roar, all eyes shifted towards it.
Bai Guyue, head bowed and trembling, lifted her gaze and clearly discerned a flash of scarlet dancing in the air through the transparent canopy.
That slender, enigmatic, and potent figure…
It was unmistakably Shura!
At this critical juncture, the mecha’s arms were raised high, effectively intercepting the colossal palm, with the four engines propelling it blazing brilliant red beams.
The sheer power emanating from such a monstrous beast was immensely formidable, and even with Shura upgraded to the Emperor Body, it struggled to gain an advantage in raw strength.
Mu Fan harbored no desire to squander time battling such creatures.
However…
This particular beast had committed an unforgivable transgression by reaching out its hand!
“Roar!”
The Chaos Giant Beast bellowed ferociously, acting purely on instinct, and clenched its claw with immense force, without even perceiving what lay beneath its palm.
Yet, at that very instant.
Shura’s hands abruptly retracted by half a meter.
Two cold, sharp claw blades shot forth instantly!
Shura’s hands, at that moment… plunged deeply into the beast’s palm.
“Aow!”
Amidst the Chaos Giant Beast’s piercing shrieks of agony, Shura’s arms became deeply embedded within the thick, leathery hide of the monstrous claw.
“Get out of here, you!”
Mu Fan’s eyes were icily determined, his arm muscles bulging like hardened iron, with bones audibly cracking from his lumbar spine all the way to his neck.
With a mighty heave, he swung his arms forcefully to the left and forward!
Whoosh! The Chaos Giant Beast experienced an overwhelming surge of force in its palm, its colossal body being violently lifted skyward.
In a fraction of a second, Shura swung the arm it held, whirling into a dizzying blur!
“Ao——”
The beast’s roars, initially a continuous stream, began to distort as if being played back in slow motion.
The two-hundred-meter-tall monstrosity spiraled through the sky, transforming into a terrifying white vortex.
After ten full rotations per second for three consecutive seconds, Shura hurled the beast forward with a thunderous impact!
That colossal, two-hundred-meter Chaos Giant Beast, propelled like a gargantuan cannonball…
Screamed across the heavens!
The Dawn Battleship, with its mechanical Giant Dragon [Evil Wing] onboard, watched with wide eyes, hastily covering its face with its wings upon witnessing this incredible spectacle.
It wasn’t until five agonizing seconds later…
That a deafening crash echoed, prompting it to cautiously uncover its eyes.
In the far distance, a mountain had been utterly pulverized into dust by the ferocious impact of the Chaos Giant Beast.
Staggering unsteadily to its feet, the Chaos Giant Beast shook its massive head, preparing to re-acquire its adversary.
Lifting its massive head, it beheld a twenty-meter black silhouette already hovering menacingly in the air.
Those blood-red eyes met its own with chilling intensity.
Tilting its body backward into a flawless striking posture.
In mere moments, the Scarlet Cloak dissolved into a fine mist enveloping its fists.
“Destroy!”
Mu Fan’s command thundered from within the mechanical chest.
Infused with an icy killing intent, Shura’s punch carved a colossal fifty-meter void in the air before slamming violently onto the Chaos Giant Beast's head.
Boom—
Thud!
The head of the Chaos Giant Beast, possessing a hardness rivaling a planetary fortress, burst like an overripe melon.
Instantly, from its skull down to its very feet.
The entirety of the two-hundred-meter-tall form detonated… from a solitary blow!
Boom!
A colossal impact crater was seared into the planet’s surface.
Remnants of the Chaos Giant Beast’s fur and flesh lay scattered across the crater's depths.
This abrupt turn of events struck the assembled Chaos Beasts with a force akin to an earthquake.
Every single one observed…
Witnessing Shura slowly withdraw its fist from the wounded ground.
Without any inclination to avenge their fallen kin, all the Chaos Beasts scattered.
“What in the blazes…”
“Damn creatures only know how to flee when threatened!”
“They prey on the weak but tremble before the strong.”
“Unacceptable!”
Curses reverberated through the atmosphere.
However, these maledictions quickly dissipated as the fleeing Chaos Beasts unleashed their fury upon all living beings and mechanical constructs in their path.
Those caught in the ensuing chaos were promptly engaged in combat.
Glancing back, Shura’s lone figure once again breached the sound barrier.
The spiraling, out-of-control exploration ship abruptly halted its erratic descent.
“This is Mu Fan.”
“Welcome back aboard… Freedom Wings.”
Mu Fan’s composed voice resonated throughout the cabin. Bai Guyue looked up, her eyes shining with a mix of overwhelming joy and relief.
“Thank you!”
The delicate young woman mustered her strength to assist her grandfather, gazing skyward with eyes shimmering with unshed tears.
“Hold on tight.”
Shura flexed its arm and applied a gentle push. The exploration vessel ascended directly towards the heavens, vanishing as it approached the Flying Dragon.
“Bai Guyue, rendezvous.”
“Shadow, set course!”
Beneath the watchful eyes of numerous onlookers, Shura also disappeared beneath the vast expanse of the Flying Dragon.
They observed as the majestic Flying Dragon, ablaze with fiery hues, ascended smoothly into the sky, charting a course towards the immense stellar vortex.
