Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

("Congratulations to the new Hall Master 'Jiuzhou Fire God'!")

This is the true Killing Device of Extreme Special Soldier R—Augustine Cannon!

A terrifying weapon with the appearance of a heavy-duty rifle, it is also one of the two weapons sourced from Ruins Technology by Loki Heavy Industry.

A dazzling and brilliant energy ball surged from the engine at the back, instantly flowing through four flexible tubes into the giant weapon at the front.

Originally, the dark-colored "gun" had specks of starlight gradually lighting up, then connecting into a line.

At the muzzle, a subtle energy vortex began to appear, seemingly distorting the air around it as more and more purple energy gathered behind the gun barrel.

And the eerie phenomenon seemed just to begin, as people shockingly and surprisingly observed countless small rocks automatically rising from the rock pillar above and then merging into the purple energy ball at the gun's mouth.

And the moment these rocks touched it, they turned into powder!

"What, what kind of weapon is this!?"

Sandy was so agitated he was about to rush out of the aircraft, watching the situation with the rock pillar incredulously as his self-musing voice transmitted through the microphone to everyone watching the video.

Yet, no one knew, even the host with blonde hair and sunglasses couldn't provide a reasonable explanation, his gaze turning towards the judging seats of the Mecha Association.

There, many professionals from the Interstellar Mecha Association were seated.

At that moment, a silver-haired middle-aged man coughed and prepared to speak, seeing this, the man with blonde hair and sunglasses happily said, "Mr. Naden, with your extensive experience, may I ask what kind of weapon this is, or what type of weapon? We really have no idea right now."

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a weapon capable of creating a Gravity Field, which is related to the direction the Association has always been researching. However, pardon my ignorance, I have never encountered an opponent with such a weapon in my combat career, so I also don't know how powerful this weapon truly is."

Naden spoke in a slow and clear tone, leaving the listeners stunned, as even the people of the Interstellar Mecha Association couldn't recognize it. What was the true power of this gun, which looked more like a cannon?!

"Weapon energy… one hundred thousand Energy Level!"

The monitoring officer cried out in panic.

This exceeded the energy limit of the protective shield.

"Damn it, wasn't it supposed to be limited to 70% power!" shouted a supervisor at the man.

"Mr. Boone, it was limited! This is the Energy Level after restriction!"

Boone from the Mecha Association paused, grabbing the communicator and turning on the higher-grade microphone. His words were directly transmitted to the cockpit of the "Deep Blue Cavalry."

"I am Boone, the official overseeing officer of this match, Mr. Rodrick. Your weapon now has an excessively strong Energy Level. I hope you can limit its attack range to avoid harming innocent people, or else the Mecha Association will take coercive measures."

The Hundred Martial Comet Force from the Mecha Association had already received orders, with over twenty 2A-class Hundred Martial Comet Mechas appearing below the Sky Mother Ship, coldly watching from above.

Seeing this extraordinary scene, the crowd erupted.

This was what they wanted, the Interstellar Mecha Association, a massive entity, had now deployed its military force. Something big was definitely about to happen below.

The audience, both on-site and online, held their breaths, including the group of hot-blooded youngsters around White Hair, who stopped shouting.

They awaited the thrilling scene.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a decision might soon be reached at Competition Arena 6, the grade level of the competing Mecha Bodies this year has surpassed what I could imagine."

The man with blonde hair and sunglasses finished his last comment as the primary commentator and also started staring at Arena 6, at the "Deep Blue Cavalry" kneeling on the ground holding the terrifying long cannon.

The purple energy ball explosively expanded over a meter in a split second and then shot out with a boom.

The energy ball turned into a "giant bullet" over a meter in diameter, flying past under the stunned gazes of the crowd.

A curve traced out in its path, the energy ball leaving behind a faint, dissipating purple light trail.

This trail passed through several rock pillars' centers, silently, a series of smooth, translucent deep holes appeared.

Almost fast yet slow, the energy ball violently reached a hundred meters in front of the black Extreme Special Soldier, then suddenly stopped midair.

Just as people thought there might be some exciting and shocking transformations, an eerily silent scene just directly occurred before them.

When the high-energy appeared, Mu Fan had already initiated unordered maneuvering. Throughout this period, the opposing side hadn't pulled the trigger, but once the purple energy ball was shot, it flattened all obstacles with extreme speed as if there was no resistance, suddenly appearing in front of him.

No, it was a hundred meters above him.

Dodge!

Mu Fan activated the power pressure to try and divert the engine to leave the area.

But suddenly, the purple energy ball burst like a bubble popping.

Soft and subtle, with a "pop."

An invisible spherical shock wave spread and then covered a ground area exceeding one kilometer in diameter.

Extreme Special Soldiers merely a hundred meters from the center couldn't escape this range.

What was this?

This thought flashed through everyone's mind, yet before they could ponder, the next moment they all knew what to do.

Within the range of the invisible force field...

Space twisted, the ground shattered!

Countless debris flew into the sky, the bushes along with the turf were uprooted.

That purple energy ball could no longer be called energy; it was essentially a miniature black hole.

"Engine efficiency reduced by 10%, 20%… Engine power below 60%, please check the engine."

The mecha's built-in system began to urgently flash red lights.

Mu Fan, who had pushed the engine booster to its limit, found his mecha body had only retreated a few steps at the start, then began to move forward uncontrollably.

The vast spherical body, now over one kilometer in diameter, had at its heart the purple energy ball; every object remaining in this space was being drawn toward the center.

Including the heavy black Extreme Special Soldier...

The mecha's hefty feet nearly sank into the ground, then were forcibly dragged by a powerful suction force, plowing two grooves in the earth as they pushed forward.

Countless fragments clattered against the mecha, and sparks flew from numerous pieces piercing through the damaged hole in the left shoulder.

"My God… Is this the Black Hole Cannon!?"

"Holy shit, even S-tier mechas don't have this stuff!"

"Is this really something a company from Blue Capital Star could make? What a joke."

The blond man with sunglasses scratched his head awkwardly, then with a pleading look turned to Naden, who now had to continue providing expert commentary since if he wasn't the host, he would be shouting out loud already.

"This is not a black hole weapon. First, the objects are not absorbed into nonexistence—we can see the sphere growing larger. And if it were a black hole weapon, everything within its range would be devoured, including its own energy shield," Naden definitively denied the characteristics of a black hole weapon.

"But, it does possess some characteristics of a black hole weapon to some extent, such as absorptive and anti-gravity properties. The secrets hidden in this mecha are astonishing; it's definitely a surreal mecha body that countless mecha companies dream of."

He was right, even some members of the Mecha Association were enticed.

If this mecha data could be acquired by the Mecha Association, then a batch of high-tier mechas equipped with gravity weapons could immediately be manufactured.

Blue Capital Military Group, huh...

Truly well-hidden indeed, having such an extraordinary mecha merely ranked as A-tier, yet forced to reveal its prototype during the preliminaries.

Naden also remembered that black Extreme Special Soldier.

Just a young kid with dreams and fantasies.

On this cruel stage, personal strength was one aspect, but more so it reflected the comprehensive power behind the mecha.

Kid, you didn't lose on the mechanical master level, but on the mecha itself.

Such a pity for a promising talent…

Watching the ever-growing massive sphere as well as the black mecha below being drawn in without any resistance, Naden quietly shook his head.

Under these circumstances, the chances of survival were incredibly slim.

"Mu Fan, that Extreme Special Soldier R is also equipped with a Gravity Engine, and it seems to have activated the gravity properties in its firearms. However..."

Even in this situation, Mu Fan didn't frown at all.

"Speak!"

Black's voice rang out, mechanical and swift:

"However, the activation condition of the opponent's engine seems incomplete, confined only to weapons and not as advanced as yours. Because the last time when you initiated the eightfold gravity state, a Gravity Field appeared directly around you, which is not manifested on the opponent's Mecha Body."

"Based on the calculations from the recent simulation, if you allow the activation of the Undead Third Tier state, then with the aggressive characteristics of the unlocked Meteor 3 engine... you can attempt to counteract with gravity."

Hearing Black's words, Mu Fan watched the ever-nearing giant spherical body, with a diameter surpassing twenty meters, in his field of vision. A flame named madness flickered in his eyes, and his inherently restless and aggressive blood continued to boil.

"Then unlock it for me... Meteor 3!"

A drop of blood bead whisked past his left cheek, flying forward—the blood was constantly emerging from a wound on his left shoulder, drawn by the purple energy ball.

Having entirely abandoned the Dark Breath state and entered the Blood-colored Vision state, Mu Fan did not give another glance at the blood from his wounds.

In his eyes—

were only madness and the will to fight!

"Orders received. Undead Third Tier stance, unlocked."

"Operation stance duration—600 seconds!"

Black's cold voice sounded.

This time, it was not the coincidental engine state entered under hasty conditions like last time, but the true Meteor 3 engine, thoroughly understood and optimized by Black!

This was a scene not even Dr. Aubrey from the Loki Heavy Industry's Meteorite Base could have imagined.

An intelligent life form from a parallel universe, not only had it unlocked the restrictions set by him, miraculously achieving 85% of the power standard, but it had also combined its terrifying data resources with the Mechanical Master for a core-level optimization.

Before undergoing thorough component-level maintenance, the total operation stance reached ten minutes.

During this period, the power and destruction level of this Mecha would geometrically multiply!

"Third Tier stance, third gear—eightfold Gravity Pressure!"

With a buzz, from Mu Fan's brain cells to every inch of his skin, it felt like carrying a thousand pounds!

A deep and heavy roar suddenly transmitted from the soles of his feet to his hair, and then the next moment—

the forced trajectory of the Extreme Special Soldier suddenly halted.

His feet firmly planted on the ground...

At the same time, the flame stream and air began to eerily twist behind the Extreme Special Soldier, causing the audience who had already thought the outcome was clear to suddenly widen their eyes.

"What, how did that black Mecha stop!?"

"Damn, did the suction stop? No, look at that boulder—fuck!"

One spectator, initially excitedly pointing below, where a boulder that had peeled off from a pillar was sweeping forward, as the Extreme Special Soldier was right in front of this boulder, this over three-meter-diameter boulder was about to hit the Mecha's back.

But...

Just as the boulder had already risen four to five meters above the ground, it crashed down explosively less than ten meters away from the Extreme Special Soldier.

Half of it even deeply embedded into the soil!

Yes, all the rising objects that had been sucked around the Extreme Special Soldier, at this moment, crashed down explosively.

Within this over one-kilometer area of the giant energy shield, within ten meters around the black Mecha, everything remained intact!

"Where is that dumb commentator Sandy? Hurry up and tell us what's happening here, you've been slacking off since the last match, planning to slack off this time too?"

"Where's that pretentious commentator? Who can tell me what's actually happening!"

People were utterly excited, and as the continuous commentator for Extreme Special Soldier battles, Sandy was the first to face a barrage of verbal attacks.

Rachel shrank her neck and carefully moved a little away from Sandy; this uncle really was too much of a hate magnet.

"I don't know!!!" Sandy roared, he was furious because he really didn't know.

What kind of black technology was this? The textbooks and videos from usual times had none of this stuff, how could they expect him, Sandy, to go and study the information?

"Why hasn't the Interstellar Mecha Association given any explanation? Are they not broadcasting the match now?"

Angry, Sandy fixed his gaze on the Sky Mother Ship.

Nobody saw that, off-camera, Naden suddenly stood up. "What!?"

Hidden beneath his silver hair was that shocked expression.

Because this was something never recorded in the history of the Federation— a Gravity Field!

Last time, the battle organized by the Mecha Association was too small to catch their attention, and even those who had seen the previous battle had not witnessed this true state of the Gravity Field.

The audience cursed for two seconds then immediately shut their mouths again, because within a massive energy shield, the black Mecha Body began to walk, step by step.

And it was walking in a normal posture!

But only Mu Fan knew himself, with each step he took, the ground beneath his feet sank half a meter!

Then, under the dumbstruck gazes of the people, he walked step by step under the uniformly descending, over fifty meters wide, colossal energy ball, and then...

He lifted his head to stare directly above, with arms stretched out!

"What the hell? What is that black Mecha trying to do?" the group of fired-up youths asked blankly.

"Is he about to cheat or what..." White Hair scratched his chin and muttered softly.

Countless people held their breath, because that ball of energy was over a hundred thousand Energy Level—enough to blast through a Sky Mother Ship if thrown at it.

If it hit the Mecha, it would be completely shattered!

When the colossal energy ball descended to less than a meter away from the Extreme Special Soldier's hands.

People only saw a huge deep purple tail flame burst out suddenly from behind the Extreme Special Soldier.

"Gravity Field Reversal!"

A surging and powerful purple energy burst out, beyond people's knowledge.

It wasn't blue, it wasn't white, this time it was a deeper purple than even the Augustine Cannon!

The purple energy ball was about to touch the Extreme Special Soldier's palms when suddenly...

It abruptly stopped?

Countless spectators on the scene stood up with their mouths wide open.

What was this situation?

Then, the next second, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

The invisible energy shield covering one kilometer shattered thunderously!

The originally ascending boulders set to merge into the colossal energy ball thundered down!

Only the group of giant purple energy balls still floated—no!—they were lifted by the Extreme Special Soldier.

"He actually lifted that colossal energy ball, oh my god!"

The entire venue was in an uproar, at that moment, the number six arena was undoubtedly the focal point.

People stared in astonishment at the majestic, demon-god-like figure below.

Inside the cockpit, the surrounding air felt as heavy as lead.

Mu Fan struggled to breathe out, then a cruel smile spread across his lips.

"Get back to where you belong!"
