Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1508: 24: The Original Dream

The very air turned frigid as a tense silence descended.

Federation soldiers, their minds reeling with uncertainty regarding Archibald’s true intentions, nevertheless steeled themselves and began preparing for the imminent battle.

However…

This time, a bead of sweat appeared on every soldier's palm.

They were faced with a Great Demon God capable of obliterating a Star Body Fortress with a single, devastating strike!

Only a complete fool would boast of victory against such a Killing God.

“Our opponent is an SSS-class Mecha…” one soldier murmured.

“The General is already far ahead of you,” another retorted, cutting him off.

“I…”

The first soldier immediately fell silent. To refuse the order now would be an act of defiance against military law, and the Constitutional Army possessed the authority to execute them on the spot.

At that precise moment, after annihilating the enemy ships with overwhelming power, the entire Federation Fleet commenced charging their weapons simultaneously, faint glimmers of light appearing at the muzzles of their cannons.

“Shadow Corps, prepare for battle.”

The command, “Black,” was transmitted coldly throughout the warship, and the few individuals who had just stepped onto the deck exchanged glances before turning in unison.

It was merely another battle.

Others might not grasp the true might of Mu Fan’s Mecha at this critical juncture, but these individuals understood it intimately.

Those who had endured the harrowing struggle of the Light Relics possessed a clear grasp of Mu Fan’s formidable strength.

This understanding was evident in White Hair’s eyes, which now gleamed with a discernible killing aura, and even the chubby man's expression had settled into an unnatural calm.

Simultaneously, six lifting platforms ascended from the thorn-like deck of the Dawn Battleship, as six colossal Light Arrows slowly materialized, flowing like liquid metal.

These arrows were aimed at the distant enemy.

Both sides stood at the absolute precipice of a full-blown confrontation.

….

Mu Fan’s expression remained impassive, utterly devoid of surprise or anger.

Different positions, that was all there was to it.

Therefore, as a warrior…

He would grant his opponent the honor befitting a warrior!

The emerald flames that had recently been extinguished on Shura’s body twisted and surged anew!

Open, Rest, Life, Wound!

The Fourth Gate Realm was activated!

A colossal, dark silhouette slowly materialized behind him, exuding a palpable sense of desolation and ancient power.

With feet planted firmly apart, one in front of the other, and an arm drawn back, his scarlet cape twisted upwards…

Shura’s menacing offensive stance was frozen in the void, emanating a haunting killing intent and an aura of deathly silence!

At this very moment, the monitoring systems across all Federation warships began to blare frantic alarm signals.

[Detected ultra-high energy reaction source.]

[Energy reaction rapidly escalating!]

As the alarms wailed, they could only watch helplessly as the Great Demon God’s Catastrophe move, Chaotic Flow, hurtled directly towards Shura.

The clash between these two Great Demon Gods was poised to ignite the war in earnest!

A single thread of flame began to emerge from the center of Shura’s clenched fist, and in an instant, countless tongues of fire erupted outwards, transforming the vast expanse behind Shura into a colossal, blazing inferno.

A gigantic fiery lotus slowly began to bloom behind him, possessing a deadly, breathtaking beauty.

As this colossal fiery lotus rotated, the very fabric of space around it silently disintegrated.

Shura’s punch seemed to pull a star from an entirely different universe.

Fourth Gate Realm—Red Comet!

Mu Fan maintained his stance, only sensing his palm tremble uncontrollably, veins bulging, with minute droplets of blood seeping from the back of his hand.

He was still attempting to suppress that frenzied, surging energy.

Within his pupil, an immense lightning vortex advanced relentlessly, resembling a sprawling nebula within a ten-thousand-meter radius.

Mu Fan even witnessed countless shattered meteorites frantically being drawn towards the colossal vortex.

A faint suction began to emanate, followed closely by… an intense pulling sensation from the front.

“Then I shall fulfill your wish!”

Mu Fan’s voice clanged through the air like the striking of swords.

Shura finally ceased to hold back, taking a mighty step forward, his flame-encased fist, as if gripping a comet, carried an awe-inspiring force—

It was unleashed!

The crimson “Comet” was at this moment flung out with unrestrained power.

Shura’s mecha body momentarily blurred at its edges.

Red Comet against Doomsday Force Field—Chaotic Flow!

Instinctively, everyone held their breath, their hearts pounding in their throats.

However, at that exact instant, a faintly magnetic voice suddenly echoed across the public channel, incredibly clear in the otherwise empty frequency.

“Leave him to me!”

The voice sounded youthful.

Yet, its calm tone carried an undeniable aura of authority.

A rapidly spinning ring of golden light materialized instantly a thousand meters ahead of the massive purple vortex.

This golden light appeared diminutive, with a mere fifty-meter diameter.

Nevertheless, its brilliance was impossible to ignore.

For at that moment, it shone with the intensity of a star.

A golden foot stepped forth from the shimmering, rotating light, followed by a figure bathed in golden radiance, slowly emerging.

Gazing at the nebula-like lightning vortex, the metallic face, bearing a striking resemblance to a human visage, tilted upwards, fixing its gaze forward.

With his right hand raised steadily, the body’s light flowed like mercury towards it.

“God… Water Strike.”

As the calm voice spoke, a faint golden glow radiated sharply from his palm, expanding vertically along the horizontal plane!

The colossal, thousand-meter lightning vortex violently collided with the light screen.

Everyone’s hearts pounded with intense anticipation.

Like colossal waves crashing against a mighty dam, the entire vortex was compressed flat before exploding outwards!

Innumerable thunderous electric nets, dispersed along an invisible membrane of light, instantly spread over five thousand meters!

Within the range of this thunderous dispersion, whether it was warship debris or fractured celestial bodies, everything was annihilated in a flash.

Bathed in the golden light, a sturdy figure turned, the familiar metallic face looking back…

The violently attacking crimson fire cloud, resembling a comet hurtling towards him, disintegrated instantly.

Within the fleeting, colossal shadow, Shura remained suspended in a punching pose.

Only the scorched crimson right fist, adorned with blades, retained its searing heat, wisps of energy flames rising between its fingers.

Nobody doubted the immense power of that punch had it connected.

“Gu Yunyou.”

Mu Fan’s gaze fixated on the Mecha’s face, an uncanny replica of a human’s, and he spoke softly.

“Since you initiated the conversation, I couldn’t possibly allow you to be hindered within my territory.”

Gu Yunyou’s deep eyes, peering through the Mecha’s visor, regarded the Emperor Body Shura before him, a glint of admiration surfacing.

[What a remarkable Mecha…]

“Hmm?!” Archibald’s eyes betrayed surprise for the first time.

The entity that had just intercepted his attack was…

Another Mecha!

Its golden armor seemed to emanate a glow, its facial contours humanized – that was…

“Revolutionary Army Leader, Ke Qingshan!”

A collective gasp suddenly erupted across the Federation Fleet’s communication channels.

“Within Federation borders, I shall escort you. Time is critical; leave this place and passage 131… to me.”

Inside Shura, Mu Fan heard the familiar voice speaking beside his ear, seemingly catching Gu Yunyou’s smiling nod.

“Thanks.” Mu Fan’s lips moved, his head inclining slightly. Then, turning, four streams of blood-red tail flames erupted.

Shura immediately pivoted and soared towards the Dawn Battleship!

With concise words, Gu Yunyou addressed the most critical and singular focus of Mu Fan’s attention – the dangerously uncontrolled passage 131!

That passage also served as humanity’s sole defensive bastion against the Zeg invasion!

His comrade, an entity straddling the line between friend and foe, in the act of repelling the Zeg and advancing towards Winter Tree Star, had offered him the optimal solution.

Observing Shura’s retreating form, a smile graced Gu Yunyou’s handsome features.

[You always hold onto your dreams.]

[And it is only by witnessing yours… that I can recall my own original aspirations.]
