Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1530 46: Is This Death Dignified Enough?
Previously on Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy...
The moment Goodrich's gaze fell upon the projection displayed on the light screen, his heart gave an involuntary, powerful lurch!
In that instant, a simultaneous, fierce pounding from all his companions' hearts echoed within the lofty spire hall.
The eyes of over fifty Peeping members, all at once, turned a ferocious blood-red, their delicate blood vessels near the eyeballs swelling into thick, dark purple cords.
[Warning, hostile entity detected!]
Responding to the alert, the formidable, five hundred-meter-tall metal tower ignited with pulsing green patterns throughout its structure.
Inside the opulent top-floor hall, a piercing crimson light flashed incessantly.
The metallic ceiling overhead abruptly transitioned to a translucent state.
These dramatic changes were all instigated by the singular figure now standing triumphantly atop the tower!
A scarlet cloak billowed continuously, and as it surged upwards, stardust overflowed, cloaking the entire form. The pervasive spore mist that permeated the area ignited spontaneously, creating a fiery aura extending five meters around the mecha.
Tiny sparks flickered incessantly around Shura's body before vanishing.
Astonishingly, the spore cloud of the Saint Luo Clan, a substance as potent as Zeg's corrosive toxic mist, proved utterly ineffective against Shura!
His gaze, burning with a blood-red intensity, swept downwards, seemingly penetrating the one-way vision partition as if it weren't there. Goodrich could vividly picture the mocking smile playing on someone's lips behind those crimson eyes.
"Descend!"
Goodrich bellowed in the Saint Luo tongue, his hand slamming forcefully onto the descent button located on the central console before him.
Ka...
With a subtle click of metallic latches, a shimmering energy film materialized beneath the feet of all the Saint Luo members, enveloping them before initiating a rapid descent!
Within the vast hall, all 1127 individuals of the Saint Luo Clan, including the watching Peeping members, dematerialized simultaneously.
Where the once-smooth floor had been, a colossal honeycomb structure now revealed itself, densely packed with 1127 individual cavities!
As each member of the Saint Luo Clan descended, the Crystal Balls they held vanished along with them.
These were the nerve centers indispensable for controlling the combat fortress.
"Transmit an SOS! We've encountered an impenetrable Mecha Knight, incapable of locking on, untroubled by erosion, and immune to spore detonations. Requesting immediate support from the expedition base!"
Prominent veins bulged on Goodrich's forehead, his fierce, savage eyes radiating an intense unwillingness.
For an individual as proud as himself, such a humiliating outcome was utterly unbearable.
The entire frontline corps blockade had proven completely useless; the adversary moved like a phantom in space, possessing almost spatial-breaching capabilities, effortlessly bypassing the formidable defenses he had meticulously erected.
Heaven alone knew the profound terror that gripped him upon witnessing those blood-colored eyes!
Those were eyes that held a very soul.
The descent pods moved with astonishing velocity, utilizing a specially constructed vacuum channel situated directly beneath the tower. For the equally technologically advanced Saint Luo Clan, traversing the 500-meter descent took a mere second!
He had already witnessed the luminous ring signifying the 100-meter mark above ground flash past as he concluded his statement.
That specific light ring represented a staggering fifty layers of Light Energy Barriers!
This finally brought a semblance of relief to his strained nerves.
Beneath the protective veil of the Light Energy Barrier, nestled within this sky-piercing spire, lay the true bastion of their defense.
"...Can you truly escape?"
A cold, sardonic voice whispered softly into the air. Mu Fan's eyelids fluttered slightly as Shura's head tilted atop the spire, his gaze fixed on the agitated spore cloud below.
It seemed something was stirring, preparing to emerge from beneath the miasma, a scene eerily reminiscent of the first planet they had obliterated.
But, what of it!
With half of Shura's Heart restored, Mu Fan now inhabited an Emperor Body in its absolute peak state—an SSS-class Shura!
Indestructible, unyielding!
This was Mu Fan's ultimate confidence, empowering him to daringly infiltrate their stronghold alone.
Within his blood-red field of vision, the crimson light dots, representing the vital energy signatures, coalesced into a singular, rapidly descending mass.
Achieving a speed exceeding Mach 1.5!
Goodrich could never have conceived that he had remained within Mu Fan's unblinking surveillance from the very beginning.
Shura's Eye, capable of piercing through all cosmic deceptions!
"Shura, bestow upon this rabble... a memory they'll never forget."
"As you command." Within Mu Fan's vision, the deep crimson light vibrated gently, and a resonant voice emanated from all directions.
The tattered cloak appeared to snap in the fierce high-altitude winds, twisting and rising, revealing the four powerful engines situated behind the mysterious, awe-inspiring Armor.
Initially, the flame outlets emitted only a faint, warm red luminescence. But suddenly, from within each outlet, thin tendrils of scarlet lightning speared outwards from both ends. As these two bolts of lightning converged... it was as if a miniature nuclear detonation occurred internally, unleashing torrent red flames in an unending torrent.
Each stream of flame instantly extended beyond twenty meters!
Boom!
The very fabric of space before Shura warped and ruptured, All ambient air was violently compressed into a colossal, umbrella-shaped shockwave!
Like a crimson meteor, Shura blazed through the hundred-meter shockwave, shattering it entirely three times!
Boom—Boom—!
With a roar, the thick, swirling spore smoke tore open, creating a vast emptiness as Shura, enveloped in fiery crimson flames, plummeted towards the ground.
Red Comet!
The scene echoed the past battle with Zeg, a familiar, terrifying spectacle.
Like thunder striking the earth, all beneath the colossal lightning strike was obliterated!
A dense layer of dormant lightning already lay beneath the spore cloud.
The instant Shura burst through the cloud, it ignited a stunning chain reaction of explosions.
Yet, Shura's velocity was too immense; the inferno birthed from the explosions couldn't even graze the mecha's frame.
Crimson flames descended from the heavens, plummeting straight towards the metallic earth...
Both legs impacted with thunderous force!
The once-still metallic ground convulsed as if struck by a tsunami, the surface heaving like colossal waves. Within a hundred meters of Shura's landing point, the metal floor disintegrated into dust, exploding outwards.
Within the cockpit, Mu Fan's fingers clenched into a tight fist, drawing one arm back.
His indifferent gaze burned with fierce killing intent, his icy voice sweeping across the Star Body's surface like a polar gale.
"Is this death dignified enough?"
Hiss...
From Shura's right wrist to its elbow, hundreds of Blade Armor plates shifted and ejected simultaneously!
Waves of dense air, accompanied by astonishing heat, surged outward, instantly igniting the surrounding atmosphere... resembling the ignition of hydrogen!
Hundreds of blazing fire serpents erupted from Shura's right arm, writhing ferociously.
Inside the cockpit, Mu Fan's body felt as if it were being roasted. His face flushed, teeth gritted tightly, his right arm bore a weight of a thousand pounds, muscles bulging across its length.
"Kill!"
The single word dropped like thunder, and a heavy explosion resonated from Mu Fan's large spine. His right fist instantly broke the sound barrier, striking forward with immense force.
Simultaneously, the half-Lotus emblem on Shura's chest illuminated, crimson flame patterns appearing on the pure black mecha!
At this moment, the mecha stood at the epicenter of the colossal radial depression, an avatar of a Demon God emerging from Hell, its punch unleashing a force that surpassed the mecha's own sonic boom.
[Shura—Karma Fire Killing Fist]!
