Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1658 17: The Three Legends Emerge!

...

Mu Fan did not arrive.

Only that lone, solitary voice came through the Four-element Wave.

But that was already enough!

Enough to make every combat personnel on Shadow Island erupt with a fighting will surpassing any battle before.

"The Insect Clan's retreat must mean their rear has suffered some kind of attack, or some tremendous upheaval has occurred, threatening their command center. In that case..." In the command room of the Flagship Dawn, Lin Hao muttered, then suddenly looked toward his own Commander.

"There's only one possibility—the Insect Brain's location has been exposed."

Qi Longxiang calmly gazed at the light screen; somewhere in the distant universe, someone had finally seen through his intent.

When the Shadow Lord returns to this place, that will be the moment they launch their final counterattack!

...

...

In the silent void, stars were scattered, paving out an endless, colossal canvas.

Beyond the Northern Border of the Galaxy Federation, where few humans set foot, countless Planets of all sizes crowded together; chaotic gravity often formed multiple deadly dark eddies in space, and many merchant ships and Transport Ships that strayed into this region, if they lacked exceptional piloting skills, would in the end be shredded by those dark vortices.

Amid a fast-sweeping asteroid rain, two asteroids with diameters of around one kilometer, set at a thirty-degree angle, traversed dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye and slammed into each other.

In utter silence, shattered rock burst apart.

Yet in that instant, a ripple suddenly flashed out of the stone-dust mist, pushing open a nearly five-hundred-meter-wide vacuum belt.

As the water-like ripples flickered, a white Bone Whale slipped through, and atop the Bone Whale's head stood a Shura, all over like black jade, cold and menacing.

The Bone Fly cheerfully slipped back into Concealment, half-seen and half-unseen as it bore the Shura, phasing out of the asteroid blast belt as though crossing in from another visible dimension, unhindered.

Antenna Star System.

Unlike those magnificent Planets within the Galaxy Federation's territory, here one could see Star Body after Star Body of stark white.

Some were desolate, ashen white.

Some were that kind of frigid white, with only a thin layer of atmosphere.

The chaotic gravity currents scoured in all directions, yet were neutralized to nothingness by the Bone Fly's unique quantum-state force field.

Mu Fan stared at the massive three-dimensional light screen projected on the blood-colored display.

In the complex Star Map, a red light point was prominently marked.

The seat of the Insect Brain that ruled nearly half a star domain.

Once it was located, whether destroyed or captured—

It would bring unimaginable progress to the entire Luqin Universe Plane's resistance against this species!

So this would inevitably be a scene worthy of being etched into history!

"Black, how long left?"

"According to calculations, at the Bone Fly's current speed, 14 hours 27 minutes remaining, with a fluctuation of 60 seconds."

"Good."

Mu Fan said nothing more.

In the just-passed two thousand-plus minutes, the Shura had fought seven consecutive engagements.

From the initial tens of thousands-strong patrol swarm, to the later million-level Corruptor clusters, the scale of battle had been climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was not coincidence, nor simply because Mu Fan had penetrated into their hinterland.

There was only one reason: these Insect Clan had sensed Mu Fan's intent.

They wanted to stop Mu Fan's assault!

So...

"The more you act like this, the more it proves how afraid you are."

"Catastrophe descends."

"Terror spreads."

"It's time to pay it back."

Mu Fan's gaze was icy, devoid of the slightest emotion, when suddenly his brow gave a faint twitch.

The fully-linked body shifted slightly to the side.

In the void, a purple ray advanced in parallel and brushed past the Bone Fly and the Shura, then plunged into a distant asteroid.

That Star Body, five thousand meters in diameter, disintegrated into dust in utter silence.

A charred crack a hundred meters long surfaced from the Bone Fly's skull all the way to its tail.

The creature halted abruptly in pain.

"Self-preservation. Wait for me."

The indifferent voice flowed into the Bone Fly's mind.

Shura's figure vanished from its original spot in an instant, the next second reappearing in the space two thousand meters ahead, dragging a red flame stream nearly two thousand meters long as it drove a fist forward.

Space collapsed and was annihilated before the fist, sending out purple lightning ripples a kilometer wide, like a thunderstorm conjured out of nothing.

"Who."

A cold voice rippled through the public channel as Mu Fan lifted his head, eyes indifferent.

The androgynous voice, impossible to distinguish male from female, young from old, echoed in the public channel like a reverberation from Hell itself:

"Great Demon God Asura… we should have met a few years ago. But now, it's still not too late."

At the end of his line of sight, a blazing mass of lightning emerged, countless ferocious Thunder Dragons coiling around it, appearing from afar like a gaseous Star Body.

Within Mu Fan's field of vision, the Energy fluctuations emanating from that Star Body instantly climbed to the very summit of this world.

Amid the coiling thunderlight, a colossal Mecha over a hundred meters tall strode forth, its entire body covered in feral lightning, a blazing "star" embedded in the center of its chest.

Its aura and bearing were like that of a heavenly god.

From this moment on, in Shura's Blood-colored Vision, the opponent's threat level had already risen to the highest tier.

This was, so far, the second Emperor Body peak Mecha to appear that was enough to stand on equal footing with the full-state [Dark South Planet] wielding the Epoch King Halberd outside the Ancient Relic back then…

The half-bloomed Red Lotus at Shura's chest flickered into sight, scorched patterns spreading across the entire frame, all Blade Armor plates angling up at once.

Mu Fan's voice was cold and hard as iron; he spat out just five words:

"Who blocks me, is enemy."

Shura's combat stance fully unfolded, every edge bared!

The gigantic Mecha that resembled the Thunder God opened its right palm, then clenched it violently.

A gigantic Thunder Spear hundreds of meters long condensed out of nothing in brutal fashion.

"Enemy? Heh… My name is Barr, Solomon sequence… First Gatepost."

"Only the Ancient Gods who can purge all sin from this world and reshape order are qualified to rebuild the flame of life. So, abandon your actions."

Solomon, First Gatepost, master of the SSS-level Great Demon God [Solomon King]—Barr!

The blazing Energy across Shura's entire body boiled even fiercer; specks of starlight began to burn in the gaps between his armor leaves as Mu Fan spoke in a cold voice, "Just you is not enough. Where are the others? Come out together."

The Great Demon God [Solomon King], Thunder Spear in hand, walked through the void. Hearing this, he burst into loud laughter. "You truly are worthy of being the enemy of my Solomon. In that case, I won't be polite."

The Thunder Spear in his hand lifted high, then stabbed fiercely into the void below!

Hundreds of thousands of Thunder Dragons surged out from the spear tip, in an instant spreading into a boundless sea of lightning.

Wherever the lightning sea spread, space was annihilated and restored, beginning to display a bizarre shattered-mirror state.

A milky-white beam projected down upon the lightning sea from a hundred thousand meters away.

The surging thunder froze.

The Bone Fly behind Shura twisted its body, faintly uneasy.

Because it sensed an aura of the same origin as itself, yet absolutely not of the same kind.

The milky-white beam spread.

Threads of light wove through its interior, gradually outlining a slender Mecha about 30 meters tall, pure milky white, holding a staff in one hand, with a head but no eyes.

"Third Gatepost, [Prophet], Vashak."

The distant white beam vanished, the woven light solidified, and a gentle self-introduction issued from within the Mecha as its right arm, palm closed, lightly pointed to the side.

The white beam was once again projected at close range, threads of light outlining once more.

Within the frozen, solidified lightning sea, a golden Mecha nearly 70 meters tall stepped out, four Light Beads—red, blue, purple, yellow—circling around it.

The humanoid head of this Mecha turned toward Shura, and a cold voice rang out over the public channel:

"Remember my name, Second Gatepost—[Judge], Agares."

After speaking, he snapped his fingers lightly. The four orbiting light spheres were simultaneously drawn behind him, forming a Light Wheel that slowly began to turn.

Mu Fan's gaze swept from left to right as he spoke calmly, "Black, synchronize intel."

Almost at the same instant, the data on the three Mecha spread out before Mu Fan's eyes.

The three legendary Knights of Solomon!

First Gatepost: Barr. The embodiment of lightning, an SSS-level Great Demon God who can freely switch his own form between lightning and solid matter—[Solomon King]!

Second Gatepost: Agares. An SSS-level Great Demon God who can draw on the power of the Plane and use four-colored beams to judge life and death within a domain—[Judge]!

Third Gatepost: Vashak. Born without eyes, both himself and his Mecha, yet able to see the past and future of the world; Solomon's most mysterious master of mind and space, an SS-level Demon God—[Prophet]!

The still domain created by the Prophet vanished, and the lightning sea resumed its raging surge.

The three Mecha stood within it, sealing off all of Shura's paths forward.

"To draw the Three Gateposts into action—within a hundred years, you are the first."
