Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1656 15: Iron and Fire

Outside the flat, desolate city district, a giant battleship.

All the civilians were intercepted by armor at the periphery.

The vast spaceport seemed empty at this moment.

A bored bone whale hovered faintly in mid-air, and beneath its belly, a black mecha combining ferocity and beauty stood silently.

Everyone's gaze fell upon the central area of the vast region.

A tall girl tiptoed and gently embraced the young man before her.

Even though her heart was filled with reluctance, at this moment she could only bite her lip, her eyes red, saying nothing.

Because she knows, the man who once held up the sky for her is going to do something more important.

Time seemed to quiet down at this moment.

Mu Fan extended his arms, embracing the soft, tender body in his arms, "No one can say where humanity's future lies. Once the battle begins, all that remains is to fight to the death. Nuonuo, do you remember the circumstances when we first met?"

"I remember, I cheered for you, watching you defeat opponent after opponent." The girl said muffled, unwilling to raise her head in the comfortable embrace.

"But this time is different, I can't broadcast to you." The gentle voice sounded in her ear, making the girl wipe her tears and smile.

Mu Fan's rough palm gently caressed the girl's soft hair, warmth in his eyes, "Nuonuo, you said I was your sky. But do you know? When I was deep in hatred, pain, and confusion, you were the light that shone on me even in the dark night."

"When I embrace you, that's when I'm the bravest. I don't love war; it's just that once this battle starts... there's only fighting to the end."

"I love this world, just as I love you."

"So, wait for me to come back, okay?"

The girl's eyes were red as she fixed upon Mu Fan's determined cheeks, but the more she looked, the more tears fell, unable to be wiped away.

Yet despite this, she still nodded firmly.

"Hmm!"

The girl's choked yet resolute voice rang out: "Sir, Nuonuo... will wait here for you for a year. In a year's time, with Shura, no road is too far. No longer!"

"It's a deal." Mu Fan's voice was as firm as steel.

"Then pinky swear." Nuonuo bit her lip and held up her little finger.

"If I lie, I'm a puppy." Mu Fan gently hooked his finger with Nuonuo's, his smile warm and pure.

The two separated and stood apart.

Mu Fan's gaze slowly swept all around, tapping his heart with his thumb, revealing a radiant smile, "Cheer up, now we are the demons. Take care, everyone!"

As his words fell, Mu Fan turned to look at the mysterious and magnificent high mech, his voice clear.

"Shura... our clan's belief, do you still remember!"

"Under the starry sky... anywhere can be reached!" The dancing Red Flame floated hauntingly from within his eye sockets, the sound of joint grinding echoed, Shura knelt half before Mu Fan, extending his left hand.

"Then let's go and kill thoroughly."

With these words, Mu Fan's eyes held no more nostalgia, he stepped onto the mecha's hand.

The figure immersed in the body, Shura's armor leaves seem to come alive, gently lifting then landing.

Then this mecha, under the respectful and adoring gaze of the crowd, looked skyward.

He kneeled.

— Buzz!

A massive circular airwave exploded several hundred meters away in an instant!

The blood-colored light trail like a meteor, reversing the sky!

The freely swimming bone fly, at the same time, gently struck its tail and vanished into the air.

Apart from the slowly dispersing shockwave, there was no trace of Mu Fan.

Wang Nuonuo watched the last light spot disappear under the dome, suppressing the last bit of weakness into her heart.

She hugged the fuzzy ball in her arms, softly murmured, "Close the sky."

Buzz...

From all directions, the sound of all energy ports closing simultaneously echoed.

The brightly lit city district, in an instant, fell silent.

"Uncle Isaiah, Brother Alva, I'll leave the development to you now."

"Captain Mu, I'll leave the security maintenance and strategic layout to you."

The once gentle girl now played a pivotal core role beyond anyone's expectations.

It wasn't about the mutated star species in her arms.

But amidst these successive tribulations, the girl stood tall, mature enough to hold the line.

The two leaders of the White Armor Tribe simultaneously responded.

And Mu Tianhua nodded approvingly toward Nuonuo, calmly ordering.

The fuzzy ball was gently placed on the ground by Nuonuo.

The metal dragon Evil Wing looked sadly at the sky, even losing the will to roar, like an abandoned puppy.

"He will come back."

"Ow..."

The girl gently stroked Evil Wing's scarred head.

This is Mu Fan's birthplace, so she must protect it well.

...

...

In space, Mu Fan glanced back for the last time, black mist began to emerge on the planet's surface.

All life energy vanished from the blood-colored vision.

No more worries!

Shura leaped forward, with a white bone whale silently emerging underneath to support him.

Bone Fly, a favored creature of the cosmos, gently broke through a rising ripple, carrying Shura away into the universe.

The star domain where Loga Star resides finally seemed to become a truly dead zone.

24 hours after Shura's departure...

A battlefield in space once turned into a meat grinder quietly unveiled an insect beast with a bone face treading upon a Corruptor.

The body, seventy meters tall, looked pathetically small against the vast starry sky.

Its hollow gaze swept across the seemingly endless battlefield of flesh, bringing a trace of confusion.

In its perception, no life signs remained in this starry sky, even pheromones were destroyed by an intense heat capable of incinerating space.

The cunning Brain Worm left no information upon death.

What exactly happened here?

Suddenly, the bone-faced insect beast tilted its head, as if listening or communicating.

A few seconds later, the Corruptor carried the bone-faced insect beast away.

In its understanding, the last human resistance in this star domain had completely disappeared.

Had it landed on that planet, it would discover a large number of humans still surviving.

However, the Zeg species' structure meant such battle organisms would never engage in divergent thinking.

It was unaware of the survivors' existence.

The survivors, equally unaware, did not know another insect beast had appeared in this starry sky.

...

...

Antenna Star System.

A star system long existing on civilization's edge, yet forgotten by civilization.

Dense with high-gravity star bodies, the chaotic planetary pull made countless fleets view this as a death zone.

Thus, although hundreds of planets like daggers pierce between Federation and Empire territories, it seems exceptionally harmonious.

A light year beyond this "sharp knife," countless insect bodies already cover the stars.

Should a vessel pass by, it would see squirming insect planets desperately heading towards a fissure-like wormhole.

No life signs a light year around the fissure.

Yet, life waves from the fissure are incredibly strong.

The bio-force field representing life and hope fluctuates out, like bloody meat attracting groups of sharks.

In front of the fissure, a layered steel ship group forms a narrow yet thick semi-arc formation.

Behind the semi-arc is a sinister star body completely made of steel—

Shadow Island!

All resistors of the Luqin Universe know the star island named Shadow is the base of Black Fire Weapons Company.

On this star island, astronomical numbers of steel weapons were manufactured.

Within a few short years, high-quality equipment spread like algae to every corner where civilization still exists.

Without that island, perhaps this space wormhole would have fallen long ago.

"General Qi, what do you need?" A gentle voice sounded.

Golden hair like a waterfall draped behind, the lean, charming face had eyes as beautiful and bright as stars. Yue Xi Jialanuo De, sole leader of Babon Duchy and Wood God Sect, stood with Divine Palace guards in the hall.

The man in dark military uniform, hands on sand table, no longer worried about grooming his stubble, raised his head at the sound.

The equally bright gaze showed not the slightest interest in the peerless beauty, only calm and indifference.

"Iron and fire!"

"I need... more warships, stronger firepower!"
