Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1493: 9: We Meet Again

As the crimson meteor descended, Shura’s colossal claw slammed onto the hull of a Triangle Ship.

Directly at the point of impact, the ship’s glassy armor buckled inward, forming a crater roughly the size of a basketball.

But this was merely an announcement of Shura’s arrival!

Thump, thump-thump!

The potent rhythm of the Heart of Shura resonated through its metallic form. A subtle flame began to emanate from half the Red Lotus, rapidly engulfing the Mecha.

“Pitiful and insignificant.”

Mu Fan’s gaze sharpened. Threads of fire wreathed his body, and Shura transformed into a colossal, blazing drill!

Space warped for a fraction of a second. The void around the Mecha fractured like brittle glass as Shura seemingly shattered an unseen barrier, vanishing instantly.

Boom!

The entire warship was instantly consumed by a deafening explosion. The vessel visibly bent backward, its metal and crystalline plating grinding into dust with a horrifying screech.

This inferno followed the path of the “red meteor,” carving a brutal line across the void.

Before the might of Shura and its claw, forged from an unknowable alloy, all defenses proved as feeble as parchment.

A single strike penetrated fifty kilometers!

In the span of a breath.

The disruptive energy wave from this fierce collision ripped another immense chasm through the meticulously constructed net of warships.

Mist of red stars coalesced and swirled, the cloak slowly unfurling. Shura, its back to the thousands of vessels in the fleet, slowly turned its head.

Simultaneously, perpendicular to the path of its initial penetration, an entire section of the warship was obliterated by a tsunami-like shockwave.

Shura’s eyes remained as impassive as ever.

Without its Blood Prison Blade or the Great Yang Emperor formation, the unarmed Shura showcased another facet of its extreme, brutal elegance to the cosmos.

A streak of emerald light flashed through space, resembling a viscous fluid drawn into an impossibly thin thread at immense velocity.

A pair of malevolent, blood-red vertical pupils flickered into existence within the void.

Three jagged brown claw marks suddenly materialized!

They appeared with shocking abruptness, a monstrous claw sweeping across a hundred-meter expanse, precisely enveloping the turning Shura.

With a downward sweep of the claw…

Shura was bisected into four pieces!

Within its blood-red vertical pupils, framed by bone-white irises, a savage elation ignited.

A colossal beast, seventy meters in height, materialized in the vacuum of space.

Its wings, delicate like an insect’s, quivered slightly.

Moon-white Bone Armor encased it from its clawed feet to its skull, while its reversed-jointed legs, studded with barbs, stood poised in the void.

In that instant, no observer could pinpoint its arrival.

“You’ve managed to draw the attention of the Bone-faced Beast. What rotten luck for you… hmm?”

Green Armor Commander Cornelles’s pupils constricted sharply.

He observed the wreckage of the Mecha that had been bisected… it hadn’t combusted or fragmented, but simply twisted and dissipated into the fabric of space.

An afterimage?

Had it moved so swiftly that only a retinal imprint remained?

“We meet again…”

A tranquil voice broadcasted softly through the public comms channel.

The Scarlet Cloak billowed above, Shura leaning back, its right arm extended to its maximum reach. Its impassive gaze fixed upon the monstrous insectoid beast below, its skull shielded by bone armor.

A single punch tore through the void!

Across the vast, deep expanse where the thousands-strong fleet navigated, a small shockwave of crimson flame expanded outward, forming a planar ripple.

The Bone-faced Insect Beast seemed to sense an impending danger and attempted to turn its head.

Yet, from the periphery of its vision, it only registered the sudden eruption of the red shockwave.

Its head, capable of withstanding a direct hit from the main cannon of a Ninth Tier warship, was instantly caved inward under the force of Shura’s fist…

However, before the Bone-faced Beast could even recoil or raise its claw.

The incredible kinetic force behind the punch surged forward like an avalanche.

The fiery tendrils encircling Shura’s frame blazed with renewed intensity.

It was no longer a fleeting imitation of an Emperor Body!

Now possessing half the Heart of Shura and partially restored combat memories, it stood as a true Emperor Body!

This was the universe’s ultimate harbinger of destruction!

Beneath Shura’s equally icy and impassive blood-red gaze.

The fist continued its relentless advance, showing no sign of faltering—

Poof!

The skull and its contents disintegrated into a cloud of crimson mist!

The upper torso was pulverized into paste, and the partially intact lower body, unable to withstand the immense pressure, exploded into fragments.

From the moment Shura first breached the fleet's perimeter until this very second, Cornelles's gaze had remained fixed, unwavering!

A collective gasp echoed from the command bridge of the 3,000-meter-long flagship.

“The Bone-faced Beast…”

“It’s… dead?!”

Disbelief was etched onto the faces of every invader from the Forest Domain.

In their collective memory, the Bone-faced Insect Beast was a creature that could effortlessly decimate entire planets.

The Bone-faced Insect Beasts, representing the apex combat strength of the Totem Species, were not something supposed to be encountered by the native resistors of this universe who were supposedly struggling in the rear. How could such advanced combat power manifest here!?

This scenario defies all logic!

“Why does this universe harbor so many high-level Mechanical Knights!”

Cornelles’s brow furrowed in deep consternation.

The Glorfen family’s fleet, comprising millions, was bottlenecked by the spatial passage limits. Only the initial wave, a mere twenty thousand, could initially breach the Battle Fortress. Thus, only five thousand battleships were unleashed at this juncture!

He harbored intense detestation and loathing for adversaries like these high-mobility Mechanical Knights.

“The warship technology in this universe is remarkably antiquated, yet it possesses such exceptionally potent individual combat units.”

This paradox troubled Cornelles immensely.

Regrettably, Black was unaware of his thoughts, an agreement that would have been immediate if they could communicate.

In Black’s estimation, the SS-class and above, Ultimate Body and Emperor Body Mechas within the Luqin Universe, undoubtedly symbolized the zenith of this universe’s technological prowess and civilization.

Even the Yake Empire lacked such formidable individual combat capabilities.

The Forest Domain, Ghostly Domain, Bone Domain, and the Yake Empire’s universe all existed on the same dimensional plane.

Even the Yake Empire, whose fleet power reigned supreme, could not assert individual combat supremacy, let alone a mere family from the Forest Domain.

Consequently, Cornelles found himself in a state of profound bewilderment at this very moment.

“Black, conduct a scan for any Brain Worms and White Armor units!”

Mu Fan’s voice was frigid, his mind recalling that plump, white insect.

That creature’s combat potential was pitifully weak, barely capable of crawling, yet it served as the central intelligence nexus for the entire insect swarm.

To effectively halt the relentless advance of these near-limitless brutal organisms, the elimination of the Brain Worms and their White Armor Commanders, who brandished immense Bone Scythes, was paramount.

Failing this, any number of slain foes would only serve as a temporary reprieve.

At this critical juncture, a vast chasm in understanding separated Forest Domain Commander Cornelles from Lord of Shura Mu Fan.

Mere misfortune could explain encountering Mu Fan, the individual most intimately familiar with the Insect Clan within this entire universe!
