Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1494: 10: Which Great Demon God Is This?

An imbalance in intelligence led Cornelles to gravely misjudge his opponent's capabilities!

His reckless assault on the Dawn Battleship directly prompted Mu Fan's intervention, constituting the most significant misstep by the Forest Domain Fleet in this engagement.

[Scanning in progress…]

[High-intensity energy fluctuations detected! Biological fluctuations detected!]

[Anomalous space fluctuations detected, fluctuation frequency identification failed, attempting ripple mapping, comparing data… Federation army?]

At this very moment, the Dawn Battleship detected intrusions from two distinct vectors simultaneously.

Both Mu Fan and Cornelles swiveled their attention back in unison.

Four sets of blood-red vertical pupils flickered in the encompassing darkness, vanishing as quickly as they appeared…

A sibilant wave swept across the entirety of the public communication channel instantaneously.

No known language could articulate its meaning, yet every individual present perceived the inherent savagery and ruthlessness within. It was the psychic resonance of the Zeg Clan, unequivocally intending to annihilate Shura!

Four crimson figures streaked past in rapid succession.

A bone-visaged insectoid monstrosity materialized abruptly before Mu Fan, launching itself skyward with formidable force, its talons aiming for the zenith. This was the very adversary that had previously cornered the mecha [Taigu] into a desperate situation.

It was this same creature that was responsible for the utter destruction of Nuonuo's gift during that prior confrontation. Back then, the opponent's velocity was so extreme that Mu Fan, while piloting [Taigu], found it impossible to intercept.

But now…

Every segment of Shura's armor appeared to possess the faculty of sensory perception. The abundant power coursing from the Heart of Shura empowered Shura to exert this capability without reservation, with Mu Fan's consciousness seamlessly integrated with the mecha, his mental faculties amplified a thousandfold in this critical instant!

Mu Fan narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze upon the silhouette overhead, his right hand contracting and unleashing a strike in a fraction of a second.

This single blow transcended nearly a kilometer of distance. One moment the mecha remained stationary, and in the next, a tenth of a second later, it materialized directly beneath the descending shadow, delivering a devastating lunge.

Its descending talons met Mu Fan’s forceful punch head-on. The chitinous exoskeleton on the creature's forelimbs visibly buckled inward. The insectoid beast emitted a silent roar, and while no audible sound propagated in the vacuum of space, an invisible shockwave radiated outward.

Subsequently, its talons were obliterated, and its entire form was propelled backward with a resounding impact.

Mu Fan's gaze remained fixed on the trajectory of its recoil as Shura retracted his fist and once again pierced the fabric of space.

However, just as his fist was poised to make contact with the opponent's cranium, the bone-visaged insectoid's wings unfurled with a sudden flutter. A swift, brownish luminescence flashed below, and the creature vanished instantaneously from its preceding location.

The retaliatory strike had missed its mark.

Shura hovered in the void, its head tilting upward with an expression of impassivity.

Presently, four identical bone-visaged insectoid beasts materialized above. It was evident that the injured creature had been extricated by its allies. Having secured a brief respite, the quartet of insectoids simultaneously pulled their grotesquely jointed appendages behind their cervical regions…

A forceful tug!

Four spinal protrusions were simultaneously dislodged!

As the contorted osseous structures gradually elongated and straightened, four bone swords, each exceeding thirty meters in length, materialized in their grasp within moments.

“Four against one, how dishonorable,” White Hair grumbled, casting an irate glance at the space-shifting weapon clutched in his hand, lamenting that this cumbersome device lacked any direct offensive capabilities.

Confronted by these insectoid fiends, he found himself unable to simply hurl Fatty into the fray. But at that precise juncture, both Fatty and White Hair witnessed a sudden flash of brilliant white light.

Thereupon, the [Frost Angel], adorned with resplendent white wings, had already raised the formidable Big Snow Bow!

The taut bowstring vibrated ominously…

Lu Qingxue had made her decisive move!

The arrow, possessing the astonishing ability to even freeze energy itself, streaked across the expanse of space, effortlessly traversing the dense enemy formations. Within the interspersed gaps between the Forest Domain battleships, a visible crystalline layer of frost coalesced.

A streak of white light surged forward, akin to a comet hurtling towards the moon! This solitary arrow traversed the interstellar medium, rapidly accelerating after passing through the assembled fleet. A spectacular burst of ice erupted just as the arrowhead neared its destination, on the verge of imbedding itself into the face of the previously injured insectoid beast.

The blood-red vertical pupils shifted subtly. From a distance of seventy thousand meters, Lu Qingxue's gaze was stern, and those pupils, imbued with an aura of profound malevolence, seemed to engage in a momentary psychic duel with her through the mecha.

Observing this, the insectoid beast's limb trembled almost imperceptibly as it executed a swift reverse swing! The bone sword flickered out of sight instantaneously. A colossal, radiant ice explosion detonated.

Emerging from the swirling frigid shards, a pale sword tip became visible, which then swept outward with immense force! The ice detonation was neatly bisected. The bone-visaged insectoid, wielding its bone sword, soared through the void with unhindered momentum!

This precision sniping attempt had proven entirely futile. For the bone-visaged insectoid, an S-grade mecha was now something it could completely disregard!

“Sniper attack ineffective… how can such formidable insects exist…”

White Hair and Fatty murmured in unison, bewildered.

However, the reality was that the four bone-faced insect beasts offered no chance for anyone to react.

The four bone swords descended simultaneously from above.

Given the astonishing strength of these insect beasts, a single strike from their bone swords was sufficient to pierce the defenses of a Ninth Tier warship.

Within the cockpit, Mu Fan's pupils instantly turned a deep blood-red.

Thump, thump, thump, thump…

His heartbeat pounded in his ears.

Mu Fan perceived that all surrounding sounds ceased to exist at that precise moment.

Within his blood-colored vision, the outlines of the four insect beasts became clear.

Mu Fan's gaze rapidly darted across their heads, finally settling on the narrow gap between the four descending bone swords…

He was well-accustomed to combat utilizing the Emperor Body.

The objective was to engage opponents with the minimal expenditure of power, maximum speed, and straightforward maneuvers.

These four insect beasts were hardly worth activating Shura's Hell Eight Gates Realm!

Vision… locked.

Mu Fan's pupils suddenly constricted.

Four blazing crimson tail flames erupted furiously behind Shura!

Like a projectile piercing water, the motion was immediate.

A dense red mist exploded violently.

Instantaneous speed—Mach 150!

The velocity was so extreme that the human retina could barely register it.

Just as White Hair and the others let out gasps of surprise…

The four bone swords continued their instant descent!

However, from beneath the sword tips all the way to the rear of the insect beasts, over twenty afterimages were slowly dissipating!

All four insect beasts simultaneously turned their heads.

Cornelles, clad in green armor, suddenly looked up.

On the surface of the imposing combat fortress, resembling a celestial body, it appeared as though a nuclear bomb had detonated.

The thick, fungal growth was blasted into fragmented mist, caught in the shockwave, and spread outwards.

At the epicenter of the eruption, within a vast crater, Shura knelt on one knee, abruptly lifting his head back towards the sky.

Boom!

The very surface of the star body vibrated intensely.

Shura transformed into a crimson meteor, re-ascending into space with incredible speed.

“What… is that?”

Cornelles remained bewildered, and the others were equally perplexed.

But White Hair reacted with astonishing swiftness, his eyes widening abruptly, “That seventy-meter Great Halberd!”

Indeed, Young Master Yin had directly deduced Mu Fan's intended strategy.

As Shura ascended back into space, the Epoch King Halberd, which had been embedded in the surface of the “star body,” had already vanished.

The four insect beasts simultaneously swiveled their heads.

Their sinister, blood-red slit pupils shifted backward.

Shura’s form suddenly reappeared, his blood-red eyes glaring intensely.

Most strikingly, he held a colossal black halberd inverted in his hand… At the tip of the halberd, space itself was visibly collapsing and then reforming.

The Epoch King Halberd was swung to its zenith by Shura’s contorted stance and reversed grip.

Four pairs of blood-red slit pupils flickered in unison.

The bone swords sliced back sharply behind them!

But, at this critical moment, Shura executed an extraordinarily wide, reverse sweep.

The eternal, fierce weapon—the Epoch King Halberd, the exclusive armaments of the Dark South Planet—collided violently with the spinal bone swords wielded by the insect beasts from another dimension.

…

Seven thousand kilometers distant from the colossal battle fortress.

A gargantuan mecha, painted entirely in burnt umber with scorched earth insignia, materialized concurrently with three hundred spherical battle fortresses and twelve hundred warships at the periphery of the combat zone.

The scene of Shura wielding the halberd and unleashing that sweeping strike unfolded directly before this arriving contingent.

The Epoch King Halberd…

Arrogantly and brutally shattered all four bone swords in a single, decisive blow.

From left to right, the foremost insect beast opened its maw as if to unleash a roar, but its head was instantaneously compressed and deformed, bent violently by the sheer force.

Then, under the overwhelming power of the heavy halberd’s sweep, this insect beast was propelled into the other three, instantly…

Crushed into oblivion with a single strike!

The spectacle was akin to vital fluids being violently expelled by a blunt weapon, delivering a bone-chilling impact.

The mangled bodies of the insect beasts were forcibly bisected by this devastating sweep.

Amidst a rain of airborne plasma, Shura slowly turned, his indifferent, blood-red eyes casting a glance toward the approaching fleet.

“Demon God Worm Beasts… actually capable of taking down four at once.”

“Which Great Demon God mecha is that?”

A low voice, rough like sandpaper, gradually emerged from within the scorched-earth-painted mecha.
