Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1629: 527: Mutual Defeat
Previously on Shadows of the Deep Space...
Right then, Fremeka caught sight of Su Ming and Gabres both lunging toward him at once, overwhelming dread surging through him like he longed to dash back into the fortress. But with almost half his metallic wings vanished, rapid flight was beyond his reach. In sheer panic, he bellowed.
“Lord Elrosatin, save me!”
The Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader, observing the crisis, commenced mending his wounded frame while energizing the surviving mechanical eyes to unleash beams toward Su Ming and Gabres.
Regrettably, Su Ming and Gabres were resolute in claiming Fremeka’s life, utterly ignoring the incoming strikes as they charged headlong at him.
Terror gripped Fremeka even tighter, and he pushed his retreat with frantic speed.
“Want to flee? In your dreams!”
Gabres piloted the Dark Annihilation Apostle into a Light Speed Fold Flash maneuver, materializing right behind Fremeka.
Fremeka’s eyes bulged in astonishment, unprepared for Gabres to hazard such a bold leap. In abject fear, he whirled around to defend himself.
“Perish for me!”
Gabres brandished the dark blade gripped in his hand, slashing savagely at Fremeka.
Fremeka hoisted his battered metal arm to parry!
Crack!
The full length of the black blade cleaved into his arm, bearing down hard on Fremeka.
“Get out of the way!”
Right then, Su Ming morphed into a fearsome black streak of light, hurtling straight at Fremeka.
Spotting this, Gabres swiftly directed his mecha to evade!
Crack!
Su Ming thrust a spear into Fremeka’s frame, impaling the inner metal spark.
“Ah!”
Fremeka unleashed an agonizing wail, his wrecked metal body seeming to drain of life before it fragmented and crumbled.
“You scum, how dare you slay Fremeka! All of you will perish!”
The Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader watched his subordinate perish, fury exploding within him as the internal metal spark blazed fiercely, spiking the Klein Creature reaction.
In a flash, his shattered exterior fully regenerated, sprouting metal tentacles that sprawled across the stars, lunging at Su Ming and Gabres.
Su Ming and Gabres pulled back at once, weaving away at breakneck pace.
Just then, mechanical flying insects, mechanical octopuses, puppet mecha, and various other beasts surged from the rear, blasting beams their way.
“Scum!”
Su Ming and Gabres shared a knowing look, silently building power before unleashing a sweeping beam that scythed through them!
Rumble~
The mechanical horde assaulting from above detonated like a stellar ribbon.
At that instant, Commander Alekde’s voice echoed through the comms channel.
“Su Ming, Gabres, it’s time! Divine Concealment will unleash a barrage to shield your withdrawal!”
“Got it!”
Su Ming and Gabres replied promptly, steering their mecha as twin light trails to smash through the blockade.
The Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment unleashed its full arsenal, every one of its 1-1000W launch bays yawning open along the enormous hull.
Swish swish!
A torrent of 1000W missiles poured forth, blended with countless heavy nuclear warheads and dark matter projectiles, each primed with integrated delayed physical fuses.
It was well-known that the potency of these vessel-mounted nuclear bombs and dark matter missiles far outstripped those borne by individual mecha.
By now, the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader grasped their plan, roaring in fury.
“Planning to get away? Not a chance!”
At once, every drifting severed metal tentacle in the cosmos activated, weaving into a colossal metal web that trapped Su Ming and Gabres, merging with the operational ones to form an inescapable Heaven and Earth Net.
“This is bad, Su Ming, I’ll forge an opening for you—go!”
Gabres eyed the closing metal web, aware that Light Speed Fold Flash wouldn’t pierce it, so he wildly amassed energy to carve a route for Su Ming.
No sooner had Gabres spoken than Su Ming, at the helm of Ilyas, materialized beside Gabres and seized hold of the Dark Annihilation Apostle.
“You?”
Gabres stared in surprise.
“No need to open a path!”
Su Ming maxed out Ilyas’s output, executing an extreme-range spatial leap and disappearing.
In an eyeblink, the metal net closed on empty space as the missile storm rained down across the stars.
Rumble~
Resembling a supernova’s fury, it swallowed the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader whole.
Right then, Su Ming and Gabres reappeared far off in the starry void, yet they still fell within the blast’s reach, the blinding white radiance rushing over them.
Celeste cried out in alarm to Su Ming.
“Su Ming, the shockwave’s hitting!”
Su Ming’s face darkened at the sight.
In that moment, Gabres wrenched the Dark Annihilation Envoy to clasp Ilyas, interposing his own mecha as a barrier for Su Ming!
Boom!
The cataclysmic shockwave roared in.
The Dark Annihilation Envoy and Ilyas were instantly consumed by the white blaze.
Inside the command center of the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment.
Alekde observed the spectacle, his face a mask of stoic calm, though his right fist tightened unconsciously.
Visado and the rest held their breath in suspense.
Out in the starry expanse.
As the blast faded, the Elorazad Deputy Clan Leader’s enormous fortress armor was pockmarked with craters from the onslaught.
The Dark Annihilation Envoy and Ilyas endured the force, but the Dark Annihilation Apostle disengaged from Dark Energy Mode, its structure heavily battered with electric sparks dancing over it.
“Lord Gabres, are you okay?”
Su Ming inquired urgently.
“I’m good, not dying yet—let’s move!”
Gabres urged Su Ming.
Su Ming swiftly guided Ilyas to tow the Dark Annihilation Apostle, racing toward the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Divine Concealment.
Within Divine Concealment’s command center.
Visado informed Alekde.
“Lord Alekde, Lord Gabres and Lord Su Ming are inbound.”
“Prepare the docking bay and ready to welcome them!”
Alekde ordered without delay.
“Yes!”
Visado acted at once.
