Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 470: The Origin Mecha

"You... you're quite amusing, kid." Pure fury blazed in the Dragon Monarch's eyes as he stared at Grey, then he erupted into thunderous laughter. "YOU DARE TO DISRESPECT THE DRAGON CLAN?!"

In that instant, his presence transformed into raw killing intent.

The Grand Arbiter's brow furrowed at the sight. "Dragon Monarch, that's sufficient," he ordered, ascending into the sky to step in.

Yet the moment his words left his mouth, a dense golden shield enveloped him. The pair of Dragon Clan elders and Errol had synchronized their movements, trapping the Grand Arbiter within a spatial seal.

"Dragon Monarch Aegis, what do you intend by this?" Matthew questioned, his face grim. He understood breaking free from the barrier wouldn't be simple. It pulsed with the Transcendental Essence of a 7th Ranker!

"Remain where you are, Grand Arbiter Matthew. I won't allow interference in dragon clan business," Aegis responded with an icy stare.

"Cease this madness!" Alissa cried out, soaring upward. However, before she neared Grey, the dragon elders flashed before her, halting her path.

"Get aside!" she demanded.

"Don't meddle in affairs beyond your concern when greater troubles loom, Alissa. Keep in mind, Melissa and Wang Lin remain in our grasp," Errol cautioned with a menacing grin.

Suddenly, two bursts of light appeared before Alissa. Miwa and Juli had arrived.

"Harm her, and you'll face us too," Miwa stated with a vibrant, joyful smile. "The tournament streams across the whole cosmos, and fans span the globe. Touch us, and our massive fanbase will band together to crush you."

The dragon elders stood truly stunned by the ridiculous warning.

From below, Grey overheard and broke into laughter. "Excellent line! Hahaha, all humanity ganging up on some giant lizards for injuring their idol stars." Grey flashed Miwa a thumbs-up.

"..." Juli, Alissa, and Miwa gazed down at Grey in utter confusion.

Amid this interstellar clash, this guy was laughing? Juli felt even more shocked than the others. Her brother seemed utterly otherworldly now, less like a man and more like an indifferent god. He lingered there as if a divine observer amid squabbling ants, untouched by the doomsday atmosphere. It left her questioning the source of his endless assurance.

"Alright. Time to emerge, Eterna. Handle those three giant lizards for me, will you?" Grey's tone stayed even, not too loud or soft, but his words rang crystal clear for all.

Did he truly utter Eterna's name?

Bzzt! Cutting-edge tech throughout Origin Planet started flickering wildly. A digital form shimmered into existence next to Grey.

As her holographic body took shape, emperors in power, noble duke houses, sect heads, and every viewer displayed sheer astonishment.

"ETERNA?!" The Grand Arbiter showed the greatest agitation. "You've returned?"

"Hello, Grand Arbiter Matthew. It's been some time since our last encounter," Eterna said, giving him a relaxed look.

"Oh? So this AI and that enigmatic creature form your hidden aces?" Dragon Monarch Aegis inquired with a sinister smirk. "Insufficient."

With those words, an overwhelming draconic force crashed down toward Grey, Anderson, Angela, and Eterna.

Before the oppressive might struck, a enormous mechanical skull, vast as a minor moon, abruptly appeared overhead. Citizens of Origin Planet and billions tuning into the broadcast across the cosmos beheld it plainly.

A titanic mecha loomed.

"The Origin Mecha?!" Emperor Theo gasped in shock.

Until now, the Emperor had observed quietly from the sidelines. His kingdom's endurance mattered more than one duke lineage's doom. Anderson and Angela had crossed boundaries, and Theo readied himself to cut them loose, sparing his realm the Dragon Clan's fury. He refused to bear the cost of the Arclight family's hubris. Yet upon spotting Eterna and the fabled mecha, his scheming facade cracked.

Infused with a fragment of the Origin Will, the Origin Mecha stood as a relic forged by the Pan-Cosmic Human Alliance's ancient creator. Thus, it wielded cosmos-rending power, pilotable solely by Eterna, the Alliance's Grand Overseer.

Boom! A searing laser lanced from its massive metal cranium, slicing through the void toward the Dragon Monarch. Simultaneously, a safeguarding energy field enveloped all planetary civilians, guarding them from the strike's devastating waves.

"You deem this the Origin Mecha?" Dragon Monarch Aegis scoffed. A horrifying draconic energy burst from him as he rocketed skyward, piercing the atmosphere.

The next moment, his radiant fists slammed into the mecha's armored torso.

Boom!

A thunderous blast reverberated through space's emptiness, defying its silent norms. The immense mecha disintegrated into flaming debris as swiftly as it had manifested.

"This isn't the Origin Mecha. The authentic one matches an 8th Rank supreme entity. Merely a flawed prototype among many," Aegis taunted, his voice booming from orbit. "I've witnessed the genuine article. I recognize imposters when I demolish them."

"Darn, didn't I instruct you to fetch the authentic version?" Grey cocked his head and exhaled toward Eterna.

"The last encryption layer wouldn't yield in time," Eterna answered, fixing Grey with a blank, expressionless gaze. "Truthfully, you don't require it regardless, right?"

Eterna cast a pointed look at the Beast of Finality floating nearby.

The crowd had overlooked the violet colossus for some time. Its aura when obliterating Tian Yuan and Azathoth's clones peaked at early 7th Rank. Since those projections lingered at 6th Rank or below, viewers dismissed the beast as no match for a late 7th Rank powerhouse like the Dragon Monarch.

Yet Eterna grasped the horrifying reality. This creature was far from commonplace!
