Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1528 44: Only Trash Like You?

A stunning spectacle unfolded as the vast locust fleet presented countless muzzles at their forefront.

In utter silence, the simultaneous discharge of spore bullets created a shocking visual.

Propelled backward by the muzzle recoil, the entire locust fleet shifted several meters, instantly blanketing the space before them in an immense expanse of 'yellow sand mist'.

Thirty thousand locust battleships collectively formed a spore barrier across the void.

These spores differed from the greenish-yellow ones previously seen in the Light Relics; they possessed a more uniform color and an even more... dreadful method of attack!

The yellow spore clusters pierced through space, transforming into a 'sand mist' upon contact with meteor fragments in the starscape. Upon closer examination, however, they appeared as densely packed, compact umbrella-shaped spores, coalescing into a formidable spore storm.

As this storm traversed the debris field, it was observable to the eye that the meteors were completely reduced to mere ash.

The yellow sand spores demonstrated an apparent capacity to decompose and disintegrate all forms of matter.

These spores, capable of parasitically adhering to any object to siphon energy, were the universe's plunderers.

The Saint Luo Clan had perfected both energy and spore-based attacks to their highest degree.

Conversely, the Zeg Clan relied solely on brute physical force.

The Luqin Universe, with its core comprising the Federation, Empire, and the Outer Domain Galaxy, integrated physical and energy assaults within the framework of conventional technological advancement.

The two primary invading species encountered thus far each exhibited distinct racial characteristics.

The storm obliterated an entire sector, instantly overwhelming the deep space that had just emerged from silence!

Saint Luo Commander Lamar's gaze held an expression of detached coldness.

Irrespective of their identity, any entity subjected to the yellow sand spores would inevitably become sustenance for the Saint Luo Clan.

They were capable of corrupting absolutely everything...

Yellow sand spores!

It appeared Lamar's eyes already perceived the imminent triumph.

A triumphant smile graced his features.

A circular pattern of transparent ripples pulsed from deep space, signaling an impending arrival.

Lamar's lips curved into a mocking smile.

As the transparent ripples vibrated, a pinpoint of light abruptly materialized at the center, which swiftly spiraled and expanded in the subsequent second!

A dark silhouette boldly emerged.

The devastating yellow sand storm immediately swirled to engulf it.

In less than a blink of an eye, a yellow sand sphere, exceeding two hundred meters in diameter, formed at the wormhole's previously sealed exit!

A closer inspection revealed wriggling spore sacs within.

Utterly repulsive and terrifying.

Lamar's smile widened as he observed the spore sphere constricting bit by bit, its surface displaying spiral patterns.

One second, then two.

The figure seemed utterly powerless, easily being choked by the spores.

The previously quiet universe fell into an even deeper, deathly stillness.

However, just as Lamar's eyes began to drift shut, a calm voice faintly echoed over the public broadcast:

"Is this the extent of your attack?"

"Who is it!?" Lamar's head snapped up.

The yellow sand spore ball, which had been constricting, now ballooned like an enormous sphere, emitting a brilliant red glow as if aflame from within.

Then...

It detonated silently, unleashing a colossal mushroom cloud reminiscent of a nuclear explosion's aftermath, brazenly consuming everything in its path.

The tsunami-like crimson shockwave surged across tens of thousands of meters before gradually dissipating.

Within the clearing view, a black mecha, its entire body adorned with magma-like fiery veins, stepped forward, calmly raising its head to face the locust fleet that blanketed the starscape.

Sinister stabbing blades protruded from each joint, its coating was jet-black, its eyes were scarlet and emotionless, and a faintly smoldering half-red lotus was emblazoned on its chest.

"Fire again!"

At that moment, Lamar commanded coldly.

He resolved not to grant the adversary any opportunity for idle conversation.

Thus, the locust fleet unleashed another simultaneous barrage.

Dense swarms of spores obscured the sky, instantaneously filling Mu Fan's entire field of vision.

At this precise moment, he subtly tilted his head, as if listening to something behind him.

The undulations of the natural wormhole surged once more, indicating the imminent breakthrough of the Dawn Battleship.

And his task was to eradicate everything... before the Dawn Battleship materialized.

Mu Fan gazed forward with indifference, and at this juncture, his powerful heart began to beat with intense vigor.

… Thump!

In that instant, as his heart delivered its first resounding beat, a visible wave of fire surged around the mysterious and magnificent mecha.

A sensation akin to a sledgehammer striking the heart sent massive amounts of blood surging through Mu Fan's body, momentarily obscuring his vision with a scarlet film.

The Shura's blade armor tilted slightly, crimson airflow erupting from its entire form, resembling a demon god emerging from a fiery abyss.

With fingers spread wide, the right hand thrust forward, then pivoted to face inward... and pulled with immense force!

The palm impacted the chest, right upon the partially bloomed, burning crimson lotus.

A terrifying energy reaction instantly coalesced in the space between the palm and the Mecha's body.

[Shura — Red Lotus Blossoms]!

The chest radiated a scorching brilliance, rivaling the sun itself.

In a flash, the colossal red lotus unfurled across the expanse of the starry sky.

Within the fortress, shrouded in yellowish-green smoke, atop the highest spire of the Saint Luo clan's Star Body Fortress, a clan member's face turned rigid and pale. The sudden appearance of a red energy warning on the display screen finally caused a flicker of emotion on their previously impassive features.

"Detected... Energy reaction exceeds planetary levels!"

Meanwhile, the immense sandstorm began its descent, but before the gigantic red lotus, which had suddenly blossomed to span a thousand meters, the torrent of aggressive spores was instantly incinerated and violently repelled!

Secondary combustion and a subsequent explosion materialized in an instant.

As the right hand retracted from the chest, the very fabric of space around the Shura began to distort under the immense, high-temperature burn.

Those Red Flames, needing no oxygen and indifferent to the vacuum, carried an aura of chilling finality.

With the magnificent Red Lotus Blossoms, Shura countered an entire volley from thirty thousand Locust Fleet vessels, standing amidst the raging inferno as if a demon returned from the underworld.

Intricate flame patterns crisscrossing its dark chassis quietly ignited, then just as silently faded.

"What... kind of Mecha... is this..."

All of Lamar's ingrained confidence and pride evaporated in that moment.

"Did the Gate of Divine River, in its entirety, produce trash like you?"

When the next words, spoken from within the Shura Mecha, reached them, a deathly silence descended upon the control towers of both Star Body Fortresses.

A peculiar flush crept across Lamar's face!

He glared furiously at the screen, violently grasping the communicator before him, and growled, "Filthy vermin... Are you the Gatekeepers of my clan!? Or are you high-ranking officials from the Galaxy Federation!"

Since emerging from the wormhole, this was the first acknowledgement the Saint Luo Clan had received from Mu Fan.

The Shura's head slowly turned to the left, the deepest recesses of its blood-red pupils intersecting in a series of triangles.

Within Mu Fan's crimson vision, two fine, deep red lines instantaneously formed a crosshair, locking onto a single point.

His gaze pierced through the dense swarms of the Locust Fleets, focusing on the distant tower of the Star Body Fortress.

It had completely pinpointed the source of the energy signature——

Blood Realm Locking!

The biological prowess of the Saint Luo Clan, evolved to its peak, was exemplified by these drone-like Locust Fleets lacking true pilots.

However, for the Shura, which directly perceived biological energy, Lamar's outburst had inadvertently revealed his exact location.

Thus, at this very moment, amidst all surveillance feeds...

The Shura's form vanished without a trace!

——Boom!

A devastating shockwave, laced with fragments of shattered metal, erupted from the side, catching dozens of Saint Luo Clan parasites off guard and hurling them aside.

The remaining Saint Luo Clan members simultaneously whipped their heads around.

A bone-chilling killing intent surged from the depths of their minds. Lamar's pupils contracted into sharp pinpoints as he instinctively recoiled.

Yet, faster than his movement, a black, steel hand erupted from the shockwave, punching through the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, ensnaring Lamar's colossal form, and violently yanking him backward!

"My Lord!"

"Chief!"

"Lord Lamar!"

Every eye of the Saint Luo Clan immediately turned towards a cruel, savage apricot yellow hue.

On the side of the towering spire, a scarlet smear writhed violently.

The Shura lowered its head, indifferently observing Lamar as he struggled futilely.

Lamar's eyes were fixed on the Shura's head, staring into those scarlet irises, his mouth working as if to utter a final plea.

Mu Fan blinked.

"Trash... You are not worthy of speaking to me."

This time, the indifferent voice resonated clearly in everyone's ears.

Then, his five fingers clenched with unyielding force.

Squish——

Bang!

Under the horrified, uncomprehending gazes of the Saint Luo Clan's puppet-like bodies, their leader Lamar, like a burst blood-sack, disintegrated instantly!

The pure yellow Saint Luo blood writhed and dissipated into a crimson mist. For the Saint Luo Clan, this blood was their life essence; as long as the Saint Luo blood persisted, they were essentially immortal.

Yet, Shura was fated to leave them in despair. As the blazing Red Flames erupted from the mech's hull, engulfing Lamar's spilled blood. Not even a wisp of smoke formed; the dispersed blood mist was instantly consumed by the inferno. In less than sixty seconds from the Locust Fleets' initial barrage, Lamar, the first legion commander stationed at the Outer Domain Galaxy front by the Saint Luo Clan, met his end, obliterated by Shura's solitary strike! This terrifying display of efficiency and brutal methods instilled a profound sense of disbelief, swiftly followed by overwhelming dread, within the hearts of the Saint Luo Clan, a group renowned for their ferocity.

Smoke and swirling chaos consumed the entirety of the Star Body Fortress. Eerie hissing and shrill cries echoed from all directions, as if the colossal Star Body Fortress, provoked by some unseen force, had finally begun to convulse. The Saint Luo Clan had never before faced such a devastating decapitation strike! With their frontline soldiers barely engaged, their supreme commander had perished, completely shattering the Saint Luo Clan's meticulously planned defensive structure. Now, every weapon was primed to unleash its fury, for every member of the Saint Luo Clan was positioned upon the battlements of these two Star Body Fortresses! Amidst the billows of smoke and dust, countless shadowy figures surged forth, hurtling directly towards Shura, who loomed high in the sky. However, Mu Fan paid no heed to the immediate onslaught of these shadowy masses, his gaze calmly fixed below. As Shura ascended, towering over the fortress tops, he raised his right arm, bending it at the elbow. The Heart of Shura throbbed intensely once more, its molten veins glowing anew, as crimson flames instantly enshrouded the edge of his fist. With a mighty swing, the fist was brought down with immense force!

Boom! A shockwave of scarlet, spreading a thousand meters wide, emanated from the impact. The five-hundred-meter-tall tower emitted a heart-wrenching shriek before being utterly demolished, from its apex to its base, crashing deep into the earth! Under the power of a single punch from the Heart of Shura, the tower was incapable of absorbing even a tenth of the devastating force. The residual kinetic energy violently radiated outwards in all directions. -- Boom! Half of the Star Body Fortress's surface instantly buckled and collapsed.
