Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1646 5: Ten Thousand Victories for Humanity!

That calm voice carried an indescribable dominance.

"Mu Fan... who is that?"

A mercenary couldn't help but speak, but he abruptly stopped as soon as the words left his mouth.

Because the name seemed somewhat familiar.

"Cruise, why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?" His companion beside him held his shoulder, his brows furrowed tightly.

The few of them exchanged glances.

Indeed, they definitely had heard this name before.

But their long-term muddled lives made their minds slow to react.

Jack instinctively pulled out a pulse gun from beneath the bar counter again.

The scars covering the gun's body couldn't hide its excellent craftsmanship.

The words "Black Fire" were clearly engraved on it.

Black Fire... Shadow Island...

Recalling that formidable force that had risen to prominence in the universe almost instantaneously.

Recalling the substantial missing person notice that had flooded the underground world before the signal was lost.

Recalling the list of powerful enemies circulated within the Firmament Corps at the time.

One-eyed Jack muttered to himself: "I know..."

Everyone around looked over.

"Who!?"

"The Lord of Shura..." The four words slowly came out, causing the atmosphere to halt instantly.

Followed by a chill spreading from the feet to the scalp.

"Him!!?"

Everyone blurted out.

That legendary name, and the terrifying achievements it represented.

Digging out from the depths of their memories.

ZZZZ—

The piercing alarm echoed within the Star Ring, grabbing everyone's attention in an instant.

Panic began to spread.

Because this was a special pheromone radar.

It would only react to one type of signal source.

Which was... the Insect Clan!

"Release the energy limits, activate the external monitors." Jack was now cool, completely unlike before.

"Damn bugs might find us."

"If we don't observe these bugs, we might starve to death on this decaying Star Ring! And if we observe, then we... might have a fragment of hope!"

One-eyed Jack, an old mercenary of many years, dashed into the central control room of the Star Ring, rapidly operating the controls.

With a humming sound, the dust was shaken up.

The scene outside the Star Ring came into view abruptly.

In the universe, dyed dark red by the star, at the end of the line of sight, a black cloud rolled in, as far as the eyes could see.

"Those signals indeed..."

One-eyed Jack swallowed his saliva, his whole person plunging into despair.

Packed densely together, whether tens of thousands or millions of insect swarms.

Looking at the quiet scene, the sound of insects chirping seemed to echo beside his ears, making one's skin crawl.

The insect swarms linked together forming a huge plane, the very Artificial Star Ring where they stood was just within the coverage of this plane.

So it didn't matter whether they turned on the external monitors or not.

How many damn bugs had these insects bred over these years.

Probably impossible to calculate in trillions.

Shivering and trembling, he gradually calmed down.

Crack~

The old gasoline lighter ignited the treasured cigarette.

Jack leaned back and looked at the light screen, gently turning on soothing music.

The crowd in the hall was stunned.

What does this mean?

Jack's mouth curled into a smile of emancipation, contentedly exhaling a smoke ring.

"I've hidden long enough, finally don't have to wait for the day these bastards eat humans, even dying here is really damn unsatisfying..."

Jack's pupils somewhat unfocused, as if seeing an illusion, because he saw four black dots seemingly emerging from above the Star Ring, then hovering in front of it.

His fingers instinctively controlled the light screen to zoom in.

A heavy battlecruiser, 4000 meters long, stood at the forefront, menacing yet silent.

The ash-flicking movement stopped.

Jack froze, moving his one eye closer.

This giant warship of a double-cabin connection, clad in biological armor, seemed unfamiliar to him.

Where did it come from?

When a shadow slowly rose into the air from the top of the warship, Jack was completely stiff.

A scarlet cloak fluttered softly, molten lava spread across the black body.

Blood-red eyes gazed indifferently at the distance.

That figure...

Jack's mouth gaped wide, the cigarette dropped.

"That is... the Shura, who topped the Great Demon God four years ago with a flawless record..."

Unknowingly, One-eyed Jack, a middle-aged mercenary over forty, was already in tears.

These years, they fled like lost dogs.

How long...

How long had it been since they saw anyone daring to face the insect sea like this.

They had fled almost forgetting their dignity as humans.

And today, that figure awakened the almost lost passion of this old man.

His fist was raised high.

Bam!

With a punch, the entire Star Ring lit up at this moment.

All the lights in the dim mechanical corridor turned on.

The shielding panels were fully retracted.

Layer upon layer of mechanical walls opened up.

The light of the universe shone in.

The bewildered crowd instinctively shielded their eyes.

Then everyone saw that solitary black speck silently facing the terrifying swarm of insects in a magnificent scene.

...

Rather than dying without dignity, he would rather let everyone witness this honorable moment of being human!

...

"I am a man."

"I've been living humbly like a dog."

"But suddenly, I understood. Even if I die today, I want to die gloriously and heroically, hahaha!"

"Let us witness this moment of pride for humanity!"

One-eyed Jack's crazed voice was like fiery fire igniting an oil depot.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a frenzied roar in the next second.

...

"Those stories passed down through history..."

"Some are praised, some are reduced to ashes."

"But today, I shall be remembered in history."

The deep voice echoed softly in the dim space, a flame rising in those cold eyes.

Mu Fan's voice was a monologue, but it was also directed at his distant comrades and partners in the starry sky.

"Not to achieve this victory."

"But..."

"To reignite the extinguished flame of hope... until it burns across the entire world."

"So that you scum will forever be shrouded in my shadow!"

A cruel curve lifted at the corner of his mouth, as Mu Fan raised his head grimly, blood boiling in the depths of his pupils.

"... Agasura!"

"Yes!" A resonant voice replied.

"I will pierce through them, to the end of the universe." He spoke each word with an iron will.

"Willing to die a thousand deaths for my lord!"

At that moment, the infinite and violent energy, akin to a star, blossomed from his chest.

Shura Realm — Open!

A pitch-black cosmic gate suddenly opened behind him.

Endless pure energy enveloped Shura's entire body.

Crimson and menacing rose high!

The vicious blade armor on his body sprang up!

A nearly solid stream of light spewed outward.

As Shura's arms opened wide—

They clashed together with a roar.

It was as if a star had risen.

At this moment, the Great Demon God shone brilliantly!

The distant starry sky began to collapse.

A massive Swallowing Star Beast, with a body length that twisted for several thousand or tens of thousands of kilometers, suddenly appeared.

When that blood-filled giant mouth opened, all the asteroids were obliterated within.

Atop the Swallowing Star Beast's head, a humanoid figure in white armor stood solemnly holding a giant bone scythe.

Behind, a sea of countless insects.

The giant scythe was raised.

The space around the Insect Beast kept rolling and writhing with cracks.

They surged forth like a galaxy.

The terrifying might, transmitted through the light screen, shook the Star Ring and everyone inside the battleship to their core.

However, at this moment, facing that terrifying majesty, Shura proudly stepped forward.

The giant Red Lotus blossomed in an instant before him, then instantly crumbled.

A red trail streaked across the universe, colliding violently with the Swallowing Star Beast.

"Die!"

The giant scythe wielded by the White Armor halted.

A look of confusion and... bewilderment rose in its indifferent eye.

The colossal beast that twisted and rolled like a galaxy was stilled.

Dozens of ringed giant mouths seemed to petrify.

In the next second.

An explosion of flesh and blood turned into mist across the sky.

The red storm folded back the entire starry sky.

One punch.

Just one punch.

Inside the Star Ring, tens of thousands of survivors were rendered speechless.

A flame called hope began to rise in everyone's eyes.

In the next moment, countless voices merged into a single sentence, blossoming from the illuminated Star Ring.

"We humans — Invincible!"
