Chapter 629: Chapter 402: The Terrifying Bombardment of an S-Class Peak!
The sudden shot was so abrupt that everyone failed to react in time.
Bang!
The massive sound echoed throughout this corner of the world.
People watched as the orange-red blaze struck directly towards the sky, and then erupted into excited cheers.
It hit!
The strike pierced right through the opponent’s body and then continued its relentless trajectory towards the heavens.
But inside the cockpit of the Extreme Special Soldier, the atmosphere plummeted to freezing point in an instant.
Mu Fan’s pupils shrank to pinpoints, and the voice from within his chest burst out:
“It’s a Mirror Image!”
Indeed, the dark yellow mecha that had appeared was a mirror image, and it was the kind of hyper-realistic image that couldn’t be any more convincing.
The armor-piercing bullet made of Acabert Alloy fired by “Flame” punched a deep hole in the chest of the mirror image.
It wasn’t until the bullet passed through that the hole began to slowly repair itself.
This was definitely not some ordinary optical projection because, with Mu Fan’s terrifying vision, if the mirror image was just a regular optical projection, he would have definitely spotted an anomaly.
This mirror image even caused subtle changes in the air flows around it.
So this was absolutely not a phantom image, but…
A solid mirror image, capable of self-repair!
In the grim cockpit, a cold laugh finally emerged from behind the metal mask.
“Heh, if you discovered the Snake Shadow mode this easily, what right would Solomon have to dominate this interstellar realm!”
The steed of Andumari, stemming from Solomon itself, was a true S-class peak mecha, a superpower among the Super Series—
The Strangling Demon Snake!
As these murmurs fell, Mu Fan could feel a chilling laughter surrounding him, mocking and cruel, as though toying with an insect.
“Haha, hahahahaha, hahahaha!”
The thunderous laughter resonated from all directions, as countless identical mechas appeared in the sky.
All bore the same three-python head design, the same massive embodiment, the same mottled yellow paint job.
And all emitted an incredibly sinister aura!
This was the true power of an S-class peak mecha; this was the real demonstration of Solomon’s technology!
The Illusion of Reality—Thousand Shadow Snake.
On the radars of Mu Fan, the Sky Mother Ship, and the Thunderhawk—hundreds of red dots suddenly appeared!
“Dammit, it’s one of the seventy-two Gatepost Knights, the Demon Snake Andumari!”
Ruan Xiongfei had a terrible premonition flash through his mind, and the Thunderhawk’s wings flared, taking to the skies in a flash. The big bald head was murmuring: “My dear disciple, you must hold on, just 30 seconds, that’s all, your teacher is on his way.”
The hangar doors above the Transport Ship hadn’t fully opened yet, and the Thunderhawk’s fists were wrapped in a thick purple electrical light, as it smashed the slowly opening doors with one punch.
As for the issue of damaging military equipment, that would be discussed later.
…
All this, Mu Fan was oblivious to; he only knew that the screen was now filled with red dots that had surrounded him, making it impossible to differentiate the real from the fake.
This failed ambush had thoroughly put him at a disadvantage.
“Are you looking for me? Hehe.”
The arrogant laughter came from all around, and at this moment, Mu Fan’s acute senses finally lost their effectiveness because the laughter truly seemed to come from everywhere.
The Extreme Special Soldier took up a defensive stance, its feet moving as it surveyed its surroundings. Just as it turned to the back, next to where the previous mirror image was struck, another mirror image suddenly raised its hands, then forcefully crossed its fists in front of its body.
The fingers met, forming a triangle, as the yellow giant pythons wrapped around the arms came to life and began to stretch forward.
The intertwined metallic pythons rapidly formed a hollow cannon barrel shape, with the arms serving as the brace for this hollow muzzle.
This mecha’s gaze, like the other mirror images, was fixed below, but no one knew that behind this set of electronic eyes was the real Andumari!
His true body was right next to the previous mirror image.
When the Strangling Demon Snake mecha took up this pose, its shoulders and the giant mouths on the forehead emitted a ghostly yellow light.
A faint yellow glow first emanated from these three giant mouths, which then turned into three beams of energy from different directions, coursing straight into the hollow muzzle formed by the hands.
The metal cannon barrel, formed by the intertwining snake bodies, illuminated with a brilliance like the midday sun as these three energies poured in!
Compression, compression, compression!
Bang…
Silent and unnoticeable, like the soundless bursting of a bubble, one could even see the faint trail of the air’s fluctuation.
A circle of shockwaves radiated from the muzzle and continued to ripple endlessly outward.
Finally, the dazzling light, as brilliant as the blazing sun, transformed into a pillar of light surging downward.
The Strangling Demon Snake’s renowned killing device—Snake Shadow Demon Trace Cannon!
The speed of light is incredibly fast, avoiding a beam gun is often due to preemptive movements and changes in direction, but in this situation, where the target had been completely misled, it was already too late to perceive the danger!
A tremendous terror rose from behind.
Despite Mu Fan’s reflexes being pushed to their limits under the sense of crisis.
As the chamber of the Snake Shadow Demon Trace Cannon brightened, the Extreme Special Soldier below, still in the midst of turning, was ready to leap forward.
But the light was just too fast…
Even the beam of light emerging from the muzzle drew a subtle arc at its end, hitting like an auto-tracking missile right above the engine at the back of the Extreme Special Soldier.
There, at the back, was the mecha’s cockpit!
The Extreme Special Soldier, wielding Flame Rain Frost Blue, didn’t stand a chance to struggle, like a tiny human under a massive tidal wave.
The radiant energy pillar engulfed the black-colored Extreme Special Soldier, then shoved straight onward.
The audience, still watching the broadcast, had become speechless, this sudden intrusive dialogue had already caused nearly half of the viewers to drop off at the start.
But after that half of the audience left, the remaining spectators were startled to witness this glorious scene on the screen!
Driven by the dazzling yellow light of the Snake Shadow Demon Trace Cannon, the ground melted, and rock walls collapsed.
The black figure had been swallowed up and was no longer visible, but what people could see was the debris and dust that exploded at the end of the light!
Boom!
Boom!
Previously standing on the outer edges of the canyon, the Extreme Special Soldier was now blasted straight through the thick rock walls and into the interior of the canyon!
Boom!
With a mighty roar, the beam finally sank into a corner within the canyon, leaving behind a shocking and enormous crater.
And this time, it was a massive side crater!
At its deepest point, the crater still bore a bottomless black hole.
As for the Extreme Special Soldier…
When the light dissipated, people saw the scattered black fragments on the ground.
“No!!” Wang Nuonuo, watching from the stands with her eyes suddenly bloodshot, kneeled down with a thud and let out a piercing scream.
This was the first time in Nuonuo’s life she had knelt down so ungracefully.
“No!!”
Her cry was as mournful as a blood-spattered cuckoo, Nuonuo’s soft palms clutched desperately at the earth, blood streaming out.
And from the appearance of the Strangling Demon Snake Mecha to the Extreme Special Soldier being blasted into the canyon’s walls, all this had happened in just a few seconds.
“High-level alert, all Sky Mother Ships activate large-scale onboard shield force fields!”
“High-level alert, enemy mecha detected, identified as one of the Solomon’s Seventy-Two Gatepost Knights—Strangling Demon Snake! Mecha rating S+, advise regular mechas to avoid, high-tier mechas prepare for battle!”
“High-level alert, Federation Fleet entering high-level combat mode, request to deploy auxiliary binding fire, Viking Fighter squadrons prepare for launch!”
“High-level…”
A series of alarms rang out across the Federation and Mecha Association’s communication channels.
“I curse your ancestors! Give me back my disciple!”
A massive mecha, engulfed in purple lightning, suddenly charged into the sky, Ruan Xiongfei’s roar carried endless ferocity!
“Andumari, today I will tear you into—pieces, ahh!!!”
This bald man, who had fought in nearly a thousand battles, showed uncharacteristic loss of composure in his voice after retirement.
Bang, with thunderous electricity encircling, the massive and flamboyant wings behind him burst open in full display!

PS: (Jinan has had a week of continuous fog and cooling, with continuous rain and snow for the past three days, probably because of long periods of sitting indoors without going out, resulting in decreased resistance. After following the boss for two days of annual meetings, I caught a bad cold, with a high fever of 38.3 degrees Celsius. These couple of days, you might not have seen Dangdang showing up in the group chat. Now that I am able to get up and eat something, I will catch up on the updates. This is the second update from yesterday. Sorry, everyone!)
