Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1537 53: Tremors from the Soul (Part 1)
Previously on Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy...
As the spear tip sliced through the void, drawing ever closer to Shura's back, Mu Fan remained conspicuously still.
Yet, when the spear tip was a mere three meters from the back of Shura's head...
The right arm, which had just obliterated the [Bone Fly] with a powerful strike, abruptly ascended, its five fingers clenching with immense force.
The fractured space, previously in fine tatters, abruptly froze at a point three meters behind Shura.
The spear, which had silently traversed the void, was thus caught effortlessly in his grasp.
The muscles on Leviathan's colossal arms suddenly bulged outwards.
Sparks showered forth as the gargantuan spear met Shura's palm.
However, after penetrating less than half a meter, the razor-sharp blade armor adorning Shura's palm managed to arrest the spear's advance!
A subtle, dark crimson wave emanated from the mecha's frame, radiating outwards in all directions.
Then, Shura turned, his gaze chilling, his flame-like, blood-red eyes fixing upon the giant.
"Is this truly all you possess..."
Dark spikes erupted en masse from Shura's palm.
Bang!
Faint orange ripples bloomed from Shura's chest, spreading across his entire form as he tightly gripped the spear and propelled it forward with ferocity.
Countless shards dispersed around the spear in an instant.
Leviathan's palm remained clamped around the weapon, yet it proved insufficient against the sudden surge of Shura's overwhelming power.
In a flash, a bloody spectacle unfolded!
Fueled by the violent Qi infusion from the Heart of Shura, the Shura Machine Body unleashed power fivefold its previous might.
Empty-handed, against a blade, a reversal was executed!
The spear shaft contorted into a startling arc, and then Shura spun with ferocious momentum, the spear now slick with the giant's flesh dragged back, swung in a wide arc, and slammed with immense force into Leviathan's face!
The speed was blindingly fast, so swift that Leviathan, who had begun to react and evade, was still struck on the left cheek as he attempted to dodge.
The side of the giant's head instantly bore a noticeable indentation, while on the opposite side, flesh and blood flew outward, the colossal body unexpectedly hurled back over five hundred meters.
It wasn't until the giant's feet had shattered a dozen crystalline mirrors scattered across the void that he finally came to a halt.
When Leviathan lifted his face once more, the white bone mask was still riddled with dense cracks!
Visible red and white muscles writhed and regenerated incessantly, with unseen shockwaves emanating from Leviathan's hollow jaw.
Those waves, when translated to the public frequency, reached Mu Fan's ears as a ground-shaking roar.
However, mere loudness, does that truly matter!?
Mu Fan's eyes held a cold glint; he observed the scene before him with an indifferent gaze.
Tentacle-like crimson muscles began to emerge unceasingly from the giant's spine, subsequently burrowing into his body, with layers upon layers of muscle tissue accumulating.
In an instant, the giant's physique dwarfed its previous form.
Leviathan abruptly thrust his head upwards, his arms crashing down heavily upon the mirror-like ripples, commencing a ground-eating stride across the universe.
His posture was the very epitome of power surging to its absolute zenith.
The sheer speed...
Vanishing the moment he initiated his rise!
At this juncture, within all the Star Body Fortresses, the fervent shouts of the Saint Luo clan erupted in unison.
They were acclaiming their War God.
Leviathan represented the Saint Luo people's ultimate method of deifying individual warriors.
His muscle fibers, imbued with over 230 layers of Saint Luo blood and fused with advanced nanomaterials, this unparalleled fusion of biology and technology stood as their most formidable single-soldier development!
Fifty meters before Shura, the very fabric of space ruptured into a web-like pattern, and the next moment, a dark silhouette violently erupted forth.
A skull-esque visage flashed through the void...
A columnar shockwave erupted from the edge of Leviathan's fist.
His entire being not only pierced Shura's body but also blasted a fractured spatial rift into the surrounding space!
That shockwave hurtled directly towards an asteroid located over ten kilometers away, an asteroid boasting a diameter exceeding three kilometers.
Resembling the cataclysmic spectacle of a nuclear detonation impacting the ground, a colossal shockwave surged upward for a full kilometer.
The asteroid was forcibly compressed, its mass reduced by more than half!
Like the gouged center of a celestial body, within a vast ring-shaped depression, Leviathan, radiating scorching, distorted heat, slowly ascended from the semi-congealed magma.
A single punch, capable of leveling more than half an asteroid!
Under the regenerative effect of the golden Saint Luo blood that spilled forth at that moment, the minute fractures marring the white bone face had completely vanished.
Leviathan abruptly swiveled, his gaze directed towards the cosmic expanse above where Shura's mangled form had vanished without a trace.
"Pig."
His commanding voice reverberated wantonly across the public channel.
Leviathan swaggered, preparing to further display his might.
Yet, precisely as he shifted his weight, the surrounding smoke cleared, revealing a pristine field of view.
The thunderous roars of acclamation from before instantly vanished.
Every soul from Saint Luo stood frozen, their gazes fixed upon the Leviathan contingent, specifically at that spectral, solidified figure.
Its garishly vibrant Scarlet Cloak, in this instant, felt like a manifestation of pure dread.
"Lord Leviathan—look up!"
"The enemy has appeared above us!"
The potent spiritual surges, amplified by the Amplification Crystal Ball, surged directly into Leviathan's consciousness.
He abruptly tilted his head upwards, his vision catching sight of those wildly twirling crimson eyes, and the formidable blade-like fist poised to strike!
"Perish!"
Mu Fan bellowed with ferocity, and the energy meter before his eyes plummeted dramatically from 65% to a mere 30%!
Shura's second empowered strike landed with devastating force.
[Super Heavy Strike—Sky Peak Bombardment!]
It was akin to a close-quarters nuclear detonation.
In a mere flash, a colossal Red Lotus erupted with overwhelming might.
The remaining fragment of the star body, unable to withstand this combined onslaught, disintegrated instantly.
And once more, the Saint Luo populace witnessed the scene of the [Bone Fly] being obliterated into dust upon its demise.
Leviathan's imposing thirty-meter frame began to disintegrate from the head downwards, collapsing like a water-filled sack struck by a relentless iron hammer.
A single punch unleashed a fan-shaped spray of sanguine mist!
Only the lower half of its torso, still intact, was propelled over ten kilometers away.
A profound silence descended upon the entirety of the Saint Luo people.
Their once-unbeatable Seventh Saint Luo Envoy... Leviathan, endowed with might on par with the [Bone Fly], boasting a physique even more resilient than that gargantuan beast, had been so effortlessly vanquished before their very eyes.
Two successive, high-intensity power drains caused Emperor Body Shura's energy reserves to deplete by a staggering 70%.
The outcome: Mu Fan employed merely two punches, delivered with the universe's most potent aggression, to annihilate the Saint Luo clan's symbol of martial prowess.
Whether the Bone Fly or Leviathan, the raw power each possessed surpassed that of the Great Demon God... the Ghost King, during the pivotal conflict on Capital Star.
While these two entities might have lacked the Ghost King's unnerving evasiveness and disruptive tactics, the sheer force they wielded was unlike anything Mu Fan had previously encountered.
Without the Epoch King Halberd, the Dark South Planet would have been utterly crushed by their sheer might alone.
