Chapter 434: Fortress Star Annihilation Cannon
"Trans-AM system..."
Ruan Xiongfei muttered from within the Thunderhawk.
The ultimate purpose of developing this prototype machine was precisely to counter the Gardot Empire's top mecha equipped with a GN solar furnace.
And this Heavenly Martial Machine God was even more so the legend of legends...
A terrifying pressure descended upon the world in that instant.
As the one directly opposing the Heavenly Martial Machine God with a single-armed Shura, Mu Fan was undoubtedly the person under the greatest pressure.
The most intuitive feeling came when the mecha body was completely dyed red; as someone who was almost one with the mecha, the skin and vessels on Mu Fan's right arm burst open in an instant.
Creak.
The Shura's right arm, holding the blade, trembled for the first time.
It was an expression of the opponent's extremely powerful strength!
But he had ten seconds left—the final ten seconds. Let him die in a blaze of glory!
Ha!
Break through for me!
This ultimate dire situation triggered the most primal and ferocious side of Mu Fan's heart.
Cross-cutting Skill!
Shura's right hand suddenly twisted in a strange manner, and then the Blood Prison Blade subtly shifted, as the four engines on its back roared to life.
Relying on the terrible pressure exerted by the opponent, Shura finally slipped past, with the Blood Prison Blade and the opponent's scarlet light sword emitting a sinister purple-red light band.
Shura broke the sound barrier and disappeared into the sky.
"How interesting."
The Heavenly Martial Machine God's four pairs of wings flapped, and it too burst into a speed beyond visual limits, vanishing into the sky.
As those observing this scene were still wondering where the two mecha had gone,
Boom, boom, boom!
Figures suddenly appeared throughout the sky.
Each clash featured a large and a small, a red and a purple pair of battling mecha bodies.
With each collision in the sky, a terrifying disturbance erupted, cutting through clouds and distorting space.
The surprise in Prince Xuyang's eyes grew bigger and bigger; his opponent's tenacity truly exceeded his expectations.
"Pity, you have ultimately lost an arm."
Shaking his head, Xuyang already had a definition in mind for Shura.
A Shura that had lost an arm ultimately wasn't a complete mecha body of the Ultimate Series.
The countdown near Mu Fan's ear was going at a steady pace, his breathing began to weaken, yet the light in Mu Fan's eyes grew brighter.
Truly strong, he was ultimately facing his end...
Well then, let him fight to the death in a blaze of glory; he would never become the so-called captive of the opponent!
Blood had already blurred his vision, and Mu Fan continued to replicate that move from his mind.
Before death, to unleash that one strike.
Seemingly sensing Mu Fan's intent to die, the aura of the Shura mecha also began to undergo a strange change.
All energy started to concentrate in the hands, and the light before Mu Fan's eyes started to dim.
In that moment, Shura was like a War Ghost that had fought in Hell for thousands of years, defying life and death, seeking only a world-shaking strike.
However, when all the energy withdrew, a faint signal finally entered the cockpit.
Mu Fan's left hand began to tremble desperately.
Buzzing, buzzing!
"Mu Fan, stop immediately!"
Those two words finally resonated in Mu Fan's ears.
Mu Fan, whose breath was already weakening, suddenly heard a hurried shout, a voice so familiar...
Black!
It was Black's voice!
Had Black broken through Shura's blockade?
"Stop immediately, Mu Fan, the Federation has gone mad this time, the fortressed Star Annihilation Cannon on the satellite has been activated. Quickly plunge into the underground defenses! Only 3 seconds left!"
That wristwatch had faithfully relayed Mu Fan's bodily indices to the chip, all Black knew was that Mu Fan's body was in grave danger.
Yet it also knew, lurking within the network, it had unintentionally intercepted that long-wave communication disguised toward the Land of Bright Star.
Blue Capital Star's ultimate weapon, the Fortress Star Annihilation Cannon, had stealthily activated.
Hmm?
A cold shiver suddenly ran down his spine.
Mu Fan and Shura Mecha responded to a bloodline call, but with Black, it was an unrivaled tacit understanding formed through numerous life-or-death experiences.
Black was the existence that Mu Fan trusted the most in this world.
So, when Black spoke, Mu Fan's brain, without any thought, combined the innate instincts with countless techniques that surged in his mind.
Mu Fan's thoughts instantly connected with Shura, transmitting only two words — "Defend."
Boom, boom!
The clash with the Heavenly Martial Machine God in the sky continued.
Sensing a slight decrease in Shura's power, a smirk formed on Xuyang's lips.
The ruby on his right arm shone brightly, as if a star had appeared in the sky.
A dazzling blade of light slashed down from above.
"Crush him," Xuyang said nonchalantly as the Heavenly Martial Machine God finally unleashed a violent attack.
However, what he hadn't anticipated was the astonishing fervor that burst forth from Mu Fan's eyes inside the Shura Mecha at that moment.
Now is the moment!
Transformed into the Hell Ghost, Shura held a blade high above its head in a complex posture, creating a dense and intricate web of diagonal and vertical slashes.
Boom!
A huge purple and red shockwave exploded in midair.
Mu Fan in the cockpit violently spat out a mouthful of blood as Shura was directly blasted from the sky into the ground.
The intertwined purple and red silhouette traced a straight path through the sky before crash-landing into the thick rolling smoke and dust on the ground.
What?
What!
The people on the Sky Mother Ship truly felt their hearts sink.
Even though the Shura Mecha kept destroying Federation warships, it was genuinely competing against two other, even more terrifying mechas.
Could this really be the end?
"Energy conversion, Void Shadow State activated."
Shura's cold voice echoed from within the cockpit.
Unseen by anyone, at that moment, the surging scarlet cloak on Shura's back suddenly dispersed into mist, enveloping the entire mecha.
The mecha turned into a roughly six-meter-diameter purple and red "meteor," violently plummeting to the ground.
...
Nobody noticed, but just when the intense battle was raging seconds ago, the Hidden Land Battleship had quietly approached the battlefield.
Colonel Qi Longxiang's calm voice sounded: "Commander, align coordinates with the Hidden Land Battleship. We're clear to fire..."
"Colonel Qi, you'll die if you do this."
"Victory requires the irrigation of blood. As a military man, dying in the line of duty is fitting." The voice was void of emotion, and then silence fell on the other end of the communication.
"Although I'd like to call you a madman..."
"You truly are, a respectable soldier!"
"The Federation will remember your sacrifice."
"Satellite number seven, Fortress Star Annihilation Cannon... fire!"
Outside the atmosphere of Blue Capital Star, a powerful shadow suddenly burst forth with a blue radiance over half a kilometer in diameter from an unmanned satellite.
Then it fired with a tumultuous force, like a mythical spear, shooting straight toward...
The Land of Bright Star!
Inside the Heavenly Martial Machine God, Xuyang's face showed a hint of confusion. He felt that crushing his opponent this time was too easy, even after using the Heavenly Martial Flowing Strike; the enemy should not have been so frail.
Looking up at the Hidden Land Battleship not far above, he sneered, prepared to take out the flagship with ease.
"Tsk tsk, when power reaches its peak, it becomes unstoppable."
However, at this very moment, a voice suddenly resounded inside the cockpit, urgent and quick:
"Your Highness! Full power to the Phase Beam Shield, danger!"
