Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1502: 18: Hellfire
Previously on Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy...
Mu Fan’s gaze remained tranquil as his five fingers unfurled wide…
Clenching tightly!
The immense shockwave instantly halted five meters in front of Shura. It was like a colossal wave meeting a formidable reef, shattering into fine mist before silently vanishing. “Master Bai, you will likely be occupied next.”
Mu Fan’s steady voice resonated throughout the Dawn Battleship.
Bai Yiduo narrowed his eyes, as if sensing something significant. A spark illuminated his gaze, and his aged face broke into a smile, reminiscent of discovering an unparalleled treasure.
Meanwhile, Bai Guyue instinctively lowered her hand from her mouth and turned her head, inquiring, “Grandfather?”
Hands drawn together, fingers pointing towards each other.
In that very moment, countless phantoms materialized before the Mecha.
Shura Seal!
A colossal, dark phantom materialized behind, emanating an ancient and desolate aura.
“Hell’s Eight Gates Realm… Third Realm, Life Gate activates.”
The crimson flames surrounding the Mecha receded, replaced by a solitary green luminescence flickering across the armor’s surface.
Mu Fan perceived the cool sensation transmitted from the Shura Mecha and raised his eyelids with indifference.
This Third Gate Realm, a manifestation of Shura’s Heart, pulsed with power far exceeding anything before!
He gently raised his right hand towards the side.
Instantly, twelve Shura figures appeared, suspended horizontally in the void, each shimmering with the same verdant flame.
Third Gate Realm, [Shura—Hellfire]!
The green flames surged forth, completely engulfing the Mecha.
All twelve Mechas ascended simultaneously!
They moved like twelve emerald meteors.
The blood-red, vertical pupil of the Giant Bone Insect Beast flickered with bewilderment for the first time. Its unique compound eyes perceived the twelve figures as distinct entities.
Thus, it was uncertain which one to target.
However, it soon made its decision.
Its focus shifted to the very first figure that had detached itself!
Yet, just as its bone wings began to tremble, on the verge of tearing through space, the twelve figures abruptly froze.
The initial figure it had fixated upon transformed into a streak of light, hurtling directly towards it.
The Giant Bone Insect Beast’s eyes blazed with ferocity. Its colossal body remained stationary; instead, it swung the enormous bone sword stored behind it. Yellow-green fluid oozed from its form, filling the gaps within the sword’s structure, reinforcing it.
Then, confronting the approaching meteor, it responded with a wild, slashing counterattack.
Upon their collision, shockwaves of green flame, spanning tens of thousands of meters, erupted across the vastness of space.
It wasn't merely Cornelles but the entire Federation Fleet whose gazes were involuntarily drawn to the unfolding spectacle.
Within the dissipating green mist, a colossal form was seen being hurled backward!
It was the Giant Bone Insect Beast. The dried blood clinging to its bone sword had been completely obliterated. Moreover, the wounds previously inflicted by [Red Lotus Blossoms] were now burning with small, inextinguishable flames.
Its massive vertical pupils reflected not only madness but also intense rage!
However, before anyone could fully process the scene, the eleven remaining Shura duplicates in the sky simultaneously transformed, mimicking the Meteor Falls.
A breathtaking and majestic display commenced.
Within a single second following the initial impact, a total of eleven shockwaves, tinged with green flame, diagonally traversed space!
To the observers, the formidable Giant Bone Insect Beast was reduced to merely twelve lingering afterimages.
A fractured bone sword, broken bone wings, shattered chest armor…
After enduring twelve successive waves of green flame impacts, a tightly clenched black fist first emerged from the void. Closely following it was the Mecha, its entire body covered in dense, fine cracks.
Yet, as the true body of Shura became visible, bathed in the leaping, solitary green flames, the minute fractures could be seen with the naked eye… mending themselves!
“Healing again?!”
An Observer, stunned, slapped himself and shook his head. Only feeling the sting did he incredulously exclaim, “This Mecha has already repaired itself twice! What kind of material is it made from? How can it possess superior regeneration capabilities compared to those bugs?”
Whether it was the earlier red flames or the current green flames enveloping it, as long as the fire passed over, the scars vanished the instant they appeared.
It simply defied all logic!
At this moment, the exploding green starlight across the heavens cast the Mecha in an extraordinarily imposing and terrifying silhouette.
Shura casually raised its right hand, palm facing backward.
The body of the Giant Bone Insect Beast, its chest cavity ripped open into a gaping bloody cavity, collided with its palm. The entire 150-meter-tall frame was suspended in mid-air.
Mu Fan flipped his hand, then swung it to the left and backward.
The Giant Bone Insect Beast, crudely assembled from ferocious insects, was then tossed aside like mere refuse towards the Dawn Battleship.
“Master Bai, this creature’s remains are for you.”
The calm voice reached his ears, and Bai Yiduo’s aged eyes could no longer contain their brilliant, dazzling light.
“Hahaha! Well done, my boy! This old man will certainly remember this favor.”
He rubbed his hands together, his seventy-year-old frame trembling with sheer excitement.
“In my entire life, to be able to research venom levels surpassing the White Stone Poison… entities from another world… this is truly my greatest aspiration!”
“Little Yue’er, prepare to clear out the laboratory. Come, let’s delve into the secrets hidden within this ultimate creature’s body together.”
Gazing at the sinister form displayed on the screen, Bai Guyue’s brows furrowed, and an involuntary shiver coursed through her. Yet, she ultimately nodded with resolved determination.
“Yes, Grandfather.”
Bai Yiduo, sensing his granddaughter’s challenging spirit, gave a grin and stated, “I’m not asking you to perform the dissection alongside me. Just proceed to the nearby biological analysis room and assist me in analyzing its blood.”
Bai Guyue’s eyes widened before she let out a long, relieved breath, a smile gracing her lips for the first time. With eager nods, she swiftly departed towards the adjacent blood analysis chamber.
[After all, Grandfather still cherishes Little Yue’er. It's best to seize this opportunity while he's in good spirits to make my escape.]
A brilliant white beam instantly enveloped the remains of the Giant Bone Insect Beast, then vanished abruptly.
As the white light shimmered once more, the insectoid carcass materialized upon the warship’s deck.
“Mu Fan has already taken care of the large one; now it’s our turn.” White Hair chuckled from the cockpit, his gaze fixed on the spherical 'Amber Ball' visible below on the monitor.
“Fatty.”
“Uh?” Harry, startled by White Hair’s sudden call, responded reflexively.
“Lend me for a moment.”
As the words left his mouth, a white beam twisted and flashed from high above in space, encompassing the spherical Mecha.
“I…X!” Fatty’s face contorted to a sickly green; he understood White Hair’s intentions immediately.
“You old – treacherous – scoundrel!”
Amidst Fatty’s piteous outcry, the cannon under [Lightning]’s control abruptly swiveled.
Fatty and his Mecha, [Fury], were propelled directly into the densely packed Forest Domain Fleet ahead.
The sky erupted with Jade Beams, each converging on the spherical Amber Ball.
[Energy Recharge reached 100%.]
[Energy Recharge breakthrough 200%, automatic counterattack release.]
Several lines of text flashed before his eyes.
Fatty clutched his face, groaning in agony…
The Mecha’s dimensions instantly expanded by a hundredfold.
When the barrage of Jade Beams ceased, a colossal red sphere, fifty meters in diameter, emerged in the void.
“What is that?”
Just as the warriors of the Forest Domain voiced their confusion…
Beep beep beep—boom!
Fatty felt as though he had ascended to the heavens at this moment…
A devastating super-yield nuclear explosion blossomed in the expanse of space.
This single strike annihilated over eight hundred Forest Domain warships.
Cornelles, who had been intently focused on Shura, turned back in sheer disbelief.
“Another high-level Mechanical Knight has appeared? Concentrate all fire!”
However, Fatty was fated never to hear his reply.
This concentrated barrage command from Cornelles sent Fatty into a state of sheer ecstasy.
“Ah!”
“…Oh-nee!”
“…This is Sparta.”
“OH, shit…”
As Fatty’s bewildered shouts echoed through the void.
The Forest Domain Fleet sustained catastrophic losses.
The visages of nearly half the Forest Domain soldiers were now tinged with abject terror.
What in the blazes had they been targetting!?
