Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy Chapter 1661 20: Insect Brain
Previously on Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy...
Deep in the Antenna Star System, scattered high gravity planets silently float here.
The star domain that should have been cold and white has already been covered by the swarming insects.
Those usual main forces of the swarm, Corruptors with diameters above hundreds of meters, can only linger at the outermost area at this moment.
If this scene were captured in a three-dimensional model, a massive swarm large enough to cover hundreds of star bodies would be seen slowly accelerating towards a certain direction.
At the deepest part wrapped by the worm swarm, there is a brown "star body" about 3000 kilometers in diameter.
It's a blood-flesh star body with life!
The Fungus Blanket covers the entire planet, growing numerous unheard of blood-flesh buildings.
White Armor leads the Bone-faced Insect Beasts, patrolling the sky above the planet.
Spanning several thousand kilometers, the Swallowing Star Beasts resembling worms form the second blood-flesh defense line.
Brown Incubation Sacks continually rupture and regenerate, with young bodies covered in mucus crawling out from them one after another.
Nearby tower-shaped flesh accumulations start to extend soft tubes resembling oral parts to provide nutrients to these young bodies.
The young bodies grow and evolve at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Some gradually condense their skeletons and armors, while others begin to grow wings.
Some start undergoing secondary proliferations at volumes hundreds of times their original sizes.
Wrapped layer by layer by the Fungus Blanket, seven plump white worms are worshipped by the swarm on a gigantic rock platform, all facing a central hollow about ten meters in diameter.
It seems they are praying to something.
The Underground Tunnel of the Insect Clan, capable of traversing space distances freely, can be seen everywhere on this star body.
But compared to this hollow, they are vastly different in importance.
At this moment, within the hollow, the sound of a heart's pulsation continuously emanates.
In the dim sky and crowded space, innumerable pheromones fill the air.
These pheromones start directing the strictly hierarchical insects to shuttle in an orderly manner, gradually forming arrays with dizzying trajectories.
The towering Swallowing Star Beasts, thousands of kilometers long, begin pushing the blood-flesh planet forward.
This is their "brain," representing the highest will of the race before the Insect Queen appears!
Suddenly, countless insects seem to receive some stimulation, begin moving madly, converging into a gigantic whirlpool, rushing towards the side of the planet.
There, five thousand kilometers away from this planet-sized "Insect Brain," a sea of blood-flesh has already formed.
Panning out the view further, the worm swarm in this region is actually being squeezed inward from both sides.
Left side of the swarm.
An exquisitely beautiful mecha with construction like pure jade glows white all around, four pairs of magnificent wings spread behind its back.
A luxurious red ruby light sword in each hand, behind it...
is the mecha wielding a gigantic Black Knight Spear and a vast fleet of five hundred thousand warships!
"For the sake of you ugly insects, for the endless dominion of my Gardot Empire, and for the intel Mu Tianhua traded his life for."
"Today, if I don't drill you through, how do I account for those fallen soldiers?"
Empire's Third Prince, Xuyang, at this moment, his handsome face full of slaughterous intent.
Due to the powerful centralized Empire, Gardot Empire's political stability far surpasses that of the former Galaxy Federation, allowing resources mobilized during wartime to vastly outmatch the already fractured Galaxy Federation.
This determines that as long as the Royal Family's will is shown, the massive war machine can begin operating at a fiercely rapid pace.
GN Solar Reactor, a mecha energy core unique to the Gardot Empire.
Since the outbreak of war, the first generation had been quickly distributed to the Forbidden Army.
Whereas the once equipped GN Solar Reactor, which could easily activate the Trans-AM system for comprehensive enhancement, the SS-grade Demon God "Heavenly Martial Machine God," at the Imperial Academy's millennia-long technological accumulation.
Directly equipped with the fifth generation GN Solar Reactor!
A leap across four generations of technology!
The Empire's strong technological prowess finally unleashes at this moment.
The Heavenly Martial Machine God, making a leap to the Emperor Body, although still externally unchanged, its core has undergone fundamental changes.
Strictly speaking, the mecha is now equipped with what can no longer be called a GN Solar Reactor.
But...
The "White Hole Engine"!
It represents the source of Cosmic Energy jet propulsion.
Two light swords joined, birthing a blazing light column extending a hundred meters.
Equipped with a Z-material molecular generator, the Heavenly Martial Machine God splits into seven hundred Mirror Images in space.
Dual
raise sword, slash!
A vacuum zone covering a plane presents itself.
"Gardot's Soldiers will remain immortal forever!"
"Immortal!"
"Immortal!"
Fervent roars blossom within every warship.
The Obsidian Knight mecha, robustly clad in obsidian, fiercely raises the Riding Spear, as Marshal Reingano's powerful voice spreads across the entire army: "Today is the war of glory for us soldiers. Forbidden Army Eighteen Riders - Charge!!"
The Forbidden Army Eighteen Riders, led by Reingano, collectively control the thirty-six most powerful mechas of the Forbidden Army.
Light and dark layers!
Only in the event of a nation-destroying war will the Dark Knight reveal itself.
But now, Eighteen Riders...
have been promoted into a terrifying force of ten Demon Gods and eight Great Demon Gods mechas!!
Gardot Empire's mighty national power finally unveils completely in this moment.
Black Knight - Obsidian Knight.
Armored Knight - Royal Armor Knight.
Blood Knight - Dragon Blood Knight.
...
Giant mechas of similar contour, yet distinctly different in size and construction, all make their appearance.
Led by Heavenly Martial Machine God and Forbidden Army Eighteen Riders, the fleet of the Gardot Empire forms a massive arrowhead, frantically raiding.
For them, this is not merely a war deciding the nation's fate!
But also a war for the survival of their race!!
The endless swarm attacks from all directions.
This gigantic arrow formation's advance steadily slows as it penetrates deeper.
White Beetle Beasts, capable of suppressing SS-grade mechas, begin appearing in large quantities.
Invisible pheromones sweep across the deep space, the cold White Beetles wielding Bone Scythes float in the void.
Seeing the blood-flesh giant hole sealed once more and hundreds upon thousands of White Beetles...
Xuyang's handsome face sketches a sinister cold smile.
"It's rare for I, the Prince, to be serious..."
The Light Wings behind instantly expand, the seven hundred Mirror Images around simultaneously retracted within.
A giant cloaked in dazzling light appears, towering a hundred meters.
A single step back, the hundred-meter light sword in hand points forward.
Cosmic Force - Planet Raid!!
The brilliance releases like a blazing sun, instantly dispersing into a gigantic light sphere, violently thrusting towards thousands of White Beetles!
In this moment, one thousand kilometers behind the White Beetle Beasts, the densely packed swarm is suddenly forced into a bizarre whirlpool.
"I once deeply despised this kingdom, detested this decaying regime, thus decided to forge my own path."
"Yet you seek to crush my dreams bit by bit."
"This is... utterly unforgivable."
A golden hand suddenly emerges from the core of the whirlpool!
The mecha giant, suffused in pure golden radiance, tears through the whirlpool, stepping out defiantly.
Behind, the legendary Emperor Ship - Firmament Envoy - silently unveils itself.
"Xu, Yang! First crush these insects, then we'll have a showdown, dare you!?" The cold voice blossoms over the public frequency.
"Hahaha, worthy of a Revolutionary Army Leader Gu Yunyou with grand vision!! What would I dare not, the Prince?!"
Two SSS-grade apex entities, "Heavenly Martial Machine God" and "Deity Weapon"...
At the side of the worm brain five thousand kilometers away, carrying mighty force, strong will, and firm belief, an absolute union!
And, the planet-sized "worm brain" suddenly shrinks at this moment.
The surrounding black cosmic space collapses eerily.
