Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy - Chapter 652

Chapter 652: Chapter 425: Deadlock and Hope?

Asura, seventeen years since we last met…

Haven’t seen you in a while! How have you been?

His voice resonated like a large bell, vibrating in everyone’s hearts.

The mecha was so huge that people could clearly see where its gaze landed.

It was the Shura that stood tall and insignificant in the sky!

Did these two mechas know each other from before?

A chilling thought surfaced in everyone’s minds.

“Damn, who is this, coming in like a gang?”

People saw the suddenly appearing dark figure, even more giant and imposing than the Thunderhawk.

“My god, why does this mecha that just arrived look so terrifying!”

When they saw the mecha thrust the black giant riding spear forward vigorously, like piercing through a barrier, a circle of sound waves erupted, followed by a black death light that shot straight out, obliterating everything on the road including all the warships.

The squadron commander, who had just ordered the charging of the muzzle and hadn’t yet fired, was already completely unconscious while still aboard his warship.

His body, along with all the ship’s crew, was utterly annihilated by the intense black energy death light in mid-air.

With a casual strike, the Black Knight blasted a huge black hole into the three-dimensional encirclement in the sky!

Thus, the Black Knight’s overwhelmingly domineering appearance silenced everyone collectively.

Strong, domineering, ruthless–those were the impressions that this giant black mecha gave people upon its arrival, as if etched into their minds with a sharp steel knife.

However, inside the control room of the Federation and the Interstellar Mecha Association, there was utter silence.

They weren’t shocked by the terror of this black mecha; to put it another way, although they saw the horrific lethality of the black mecha, it wasn’t enough to keep them from speaking.

What made them unable to contain their breathing was the identity of this giant black mecha!

The Twelve Demon God Machines…

Eight of them are widely known with clear affiliations, while four remain legends, hidden from the world.

The details of those eight renowned mechas, designated as Demon God Machines, have been almost worn out in countless archival documents of various forces.

So, any competent intelligence officer should be able to identify the allegiance of this black mecha instantly, even with their eyes closed.

The identity of this mecha’s master is far more shocking than the mecha itself!

For that man hail from the Federation’s age-old nemesis, the universe’s premier superpower–the Gardot Empire!

His identity was enough to terrify the entire border–a member of the Imperial Royal Family’s Forbidden Army, Grand Marshal, the master of the Black Knight…

“Rein… Garneau.”

Colonel He and Major General Wang exchanged glances, bitterness apparent in their eyes.

That Black Knight, capable of annihilating planets single-handedly, was the Gardot Empire’s supreme trump card; why then did it appear so abruptly and unexpectedly deep within Federation territory at this time?

There was simply nothing here capable of suppressing it.

The last time it appeared, the Black Knight had activated the Realm-Breaking Gate near Purple Jade Star; at that time, Colonel Qi just happened to be there, nearly sacrificing the entire fleet before finally driving the terrifying figure back using the Great Harmony Cannon.

And this time, it appeared inside the atmosphere of Blue Capital Star in a manner even more abrupt than the Realm-Breaking Gate, within a very short span.

If they let the Black Knight carry out its decapitation plan, then…

Both commanders felt their backs break out in dense cold sweat.

They couldn’t fathom the consequences of allowing the Black Knight to wreak havoc on the administrative planet!

This wasn’t the six-meter Demon God Machine; this was a giant Space Type Mecha with destructive characteristics!

Colonel Hegang’s eyes shimmered with a fear-rooted gleam, but it quickly turned into a fierce resolve.

That was a resigned expression, ready to embrace death.

“Major General Wang, please report to the headquarters. We’ll cover the rear here.”

Though both were Demon God Machines, the Black Knight was at the forefront among the Twelve Demon Gods, a true killing machine forged through countless battles.

It was the steed of the coldest executioner of the Gardot Empire, that broad and towering man, who stood at the pinnacle atop a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

Recalling the distribution of their own warships, the other officers in the command room fell silent collectively.

Without even a single Type Seven special warship, not to mention Level Eight or Nine, their warships were probably just a flock of sheep in front of a Tyrannosaurus rex.

“Damn the Military Department, why consolidate the most elite forces solely within the Capital Star Ring?”

An officer with the rank of colonel heavily pounded his fist on the control panel before him.

The other officers glanced at this colonel, with none disputing or expressing dissatisfaction.

To them, the Capital-level Military Department and the Two Councils were too distant; they were merely cannon fodder stationed on the outer perimeter of the Galaxy Federation…

With a look both resolute and bitterly amused, Major General Wang returned a salute to Colonel He, “As the highest commander here, I order… all forces to attack.”

In this battle, he might just dissipate into the winds blowing over the Land of Bright Star.

A soldier’s inherent fate is death, but let it be in a manner befitting.

“Yes, Commander!”

The flagship’s command center roared in response.

Regardless of victory or defeat, their only wish was for the quickest response from the headquarters. Perhaps it was time to activate that dreadful weapon.

Even if it meant eradicating the Land of Bright Star from the planet, even if a million lives were lost, as long as they could take down the Black Knight, it would all be worth it!

Once the order was issued, the command center entered its highest operational state, but at this moment, a communicator suddenly lifted his head, took off his headset, and loudly called out to the Major General, “General, there is a communication request coming in, identification authority–Colonel, Qi Longxiang.”

Colonel He, who stood beside him, was startled by the name, then urgently voiced, “Connect immediately.”

With a ‘beep’, after a ripple flashed, a massive hologram appeared from the floor to mid-air.

A tall, neatly-dressed young man with a composed and elegant demeanor appeared on the screen. If it weren’t for his distinctly bright shoulder marks, it would be hard to believe that such a young man was already a Colonel of the Federation!

At this moment, his background featured a row of equally young officers, though their gazes were all focused on the young man’s face.

“Colonel Qi…” He Gang spoke out the other’s name with bitterness. Before the Black Knight appeared, he had still held a card up his sleeve with confidence, but once the Black Knight of the Twelve Demon God Machines showed up, he no longer held any hope.

Even after hearing about Qi Longxiang’s feats on Purple Jade Star, he didn’t think such a thing could happen a second time.

Because the first time, the Black Knight clearly had something it was pursuing and wasn’t interested in an entanglement.

But now, the target of the Black Knight had become completely clear.

Two Mechas, big and small, were actually old acquaintances.

The two from the Twelve Demon God Machines now both appeared in Blue Capital Star’s Land of Bright Star.

Including an Eighth Tier Ace Mechanical Master from the Ran Family, everyone’s faces turned ashen.

Only a Demon God Machine can fight another Demon God Machine!

This was an eternal truth of the universe…

Who would contend with these two Mechas?

“Colonel He, I come entrusted by the Commander, and before the final outcome is before us, I ask you to keep faith. Special Service Fleet, requesting to join.”

The young man’s calm and composed speech, along with his ever-serene demeanor, acted like a shot of adrenaline to all officers on the ship at that moment.

“Could it be… there’s hope!?”

A glimpse known as hope sparked in everyone’s eyes.
