Chapter 646: Chapter 419: The Yellow Sparrow
(Chapter Two-in-One)
Fortunately, Shura had carelessly deployed the Despair Heavenly Flower earlier, completely blocking off electromagnetic signals in this area.
Otherwise, once the name of the Unknown Four Demon Gods had been revealed, who knows what sort of immense shock would have swept the outside world.
The audience was far beyond hundreds of millions, and those familiar with the Twelve Demon God Machines would certainly recognize this name.
Unlike the other eight Demon God Machines, these four of unknown origins remained unclaimed to this day.
They moved throughout the universe with overpowering strength!
This was truly the pinnacle of power that stood in the starry sky!
And only those who were similarly at the higher echelons of power had heard of it.
As for the ordinary viewers, they were completely bewildered.
They were just curious why the previously arrogant and domineering Strangling Demon Snake Mecha was now as if facing a great enemy, cautiousness in its voice that had never been heard before.
“It’s actually… a Demon God Machine!”
White Hair stared at the “small” black mecha, murmuring to himself, even if his eyes were full of hatred and coldness, they could not conceal his shock!
“What are you talking about? What’s a Demon God Machine?”
Li Xiaoxi might be the one least concerned with mechas, but at this moment, even his eyes were bloodshot as he turned his head, “Then can this Demon God Machine defeat that Strangling Demon Snake? All I want now is to avenge Mu Fan. I just feel so helpless! Wah~”
A man’s tears shouldn’t be shed lightly, but at this moment, their youthful hearts couldn’t suppress the sorrow within them. All they wanted now was to see that damned murderer die in front of them!
As Li Xiaoxi’s words came to an end, the Fatty and Chuchu also turned their reddened gazes over to White Hair who looked exceptionally dangerous.
Marshal Yin Shuai’s gaze swept over the black Shura and then looked towards the Strangling Demon Snake as if facing a formidable enemy, laughing crazily.
“Unable to defeat it… it looks like a blood feud has been formed! What is a Demon God Machine? It is the apex standing in this world, the Ultimate Series of twelve SS-grade mechas!”
White Hair’s bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at the Strangling Demon Snake.
In the past, he might have excitedly spouted various nonsensical phrases, but now, all he wanted to do was sneer.
Brother, do you know? The murderer that killed you can’t escape now, because this time it has provoked a significant nemesis.
What!?
Several people nearby, including Fatty and the others, stood dumbfounded upon hearing White Hair’s words.
SS-grade!
What was that concept?
It was an existence they wouldn’t even dare to dream of in their lifetimes.
Fatty swallowed to moisten his parched throat and tremblingly pointed a finger at the black mecha over there.
“Did you say that mecha is… an Ultimate Series mecha?”
“Yeah, if what Andumari said is correct, the opponent it came across this time is a true Demon God Machine, because I also remembered the legend from the endless commercial routes of the Gold Channel.”
White Hair took a deep breath, his hands once again crushing the metal railing in front of him a bit more, his tone filled with deep fear and shock.
“Most of the commerce guilds of the Hinchlo Business Alliance recognize it… because that’s the Demon God who for the past few decades has carved out a true blood-red path in the Outer Domain Galaxy!”
“Hiss~”
There was a collective gasp from the crowd nearby.
In this world, if there’s a mention of the Federation’s foremost enemy, it would definitely be the Gardot Empire.
However, when it comes to the most mysterious place that the Federation is helpless against, it undoubtedly belongs to the real grey area of the Outer Domain Galaxy!
Countless Outer Domain races and the relentless emergence of powerful and strange Star Beasts – the Federation has been broken in that place for well over a century.
White Hair had one more thing left unsaid, which was that ever since over a decade ago, when he was still toddling around, there had been no more news of that Demon God Machine. Many people thought the Killing Machine had been destroyed at the hands of a Star Beast.
Yet unexpectedly, today, more than a decade later, the Demon God Machine, having its name called out, had actually appeared within the Federation’s star domain!
And right before his eyes!
So, your name isn’t Killing Machine, but… Agasura!
This is the true pinnacle, the true Demon God known as “Killing Machine!”
…
No one knew that a slightly chubby youth, always with a gentle smile on his face, sat in the regular stands, never showing a second expression, always that faint smile.
Even the appearance of the Strangling Demon Snake couldn’t cause a ripple in his eyes.
When the fierce battle began, he merely watched quietly, without dodging, without panic.
However, when that red meteor descended from the sky, when the red trajectory broke through the Fiery Fire and smoke and streaked across the sky, his eyes finally bulged.
Because he recognized that Mecha earlier than Andumari did.
Unknown Four Demon God Machine—Asura!
An existence surveilled and included in the secret files of the Empire seventeen years ago, a forbidden secret of the Royal Family.
This was the only one of the Twelve Demon God Machines that had been able to fight on par with Marshal Reingano, even cutting down seven mecha guard corps to date!
But how could it appear so abruptly at this moment, without any regard for the Federation or Solomon, beginning a massacre?
Are you trying to instigate a slaughter on Blue Capital Star?
How could you ignorant people understand the terror of this Mecha?
The title of Demon God Machine… is built upon countless deaths and sacrifices of blood and life.
And to think, just the day before yesterday, I received a message that Prince Xuyang and Marshal Reingano, under the escort of the Huangchuan Fleet, had already quietly infiltrated the Outer Domain Sea of Blue Capital Star.
If Marshal Reingano knew Asura appeared here,
Excitement flickered in his eyes, the chubby youth quickly stood up, and while others gaped at the sky beneath their feet, he quietly walked into an empty restroom.
A small Sky Communication device appeared in his hand, and his fingers rapidly operated the device.
A normal communication request was sent out without triggering the Federation or Interstellar Mecha Association’s firewalls, and these signals began to spread into the endless starry sky; then, as they did, the signal’s content started to mutate at a fixed frequency.
Eventually, when it had entirely left Blue Capital Star, it had turned into a clear sequence of text in Gardot Empire script.
“Urgent report, Level SS. Imperial Eagle Eye, Codename: Wei, Federation’s Fourth Administrative District, Land of Bright Star on Blue Capital Star, mecha competition venue, the sighting of one of the missing Four Demon God Machines from the Outer Domain formerly known as Death God Asura from seventeen years ago. The battle is at a stalemate, awaiting the Marshal’s decision.”
After passing through a special meteor disguise relay, this message was accurately delivered to the Purple Crystal Battleship located in the Crystal Blue Nebula, outside the starry meteor belt.
“Beep beep, beep beep.”
A clear and rhythmic alert sounded in the reception hall.
Prince Xuyang, languidly lounging on the sofa, shifted into a more comfortable position and lay in the embrace of a green-haired beauty with a curvaceous figure, his gaze casually glanced downward and he spoke indifferently, “To be able to enter the communication channel at this time, could it be the Hawk Eyes?”
Reingano saw an odd purple signal light blinking on his hand armor and nodded.
“Your Highness is insightful, indeed it is a message from Hawk Eye, and it is urgent.”
That peculiar purple signal light was not one to be taken lightly; purple represented the highest level of classification within the Imperial Eagle Eye information system.
Thus, this message could go directly to Heaven’s Ear!
Hearing Reingano’s words, Xuyang hummed lightly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Wu who knelt on the ground with his head bowed, and adjusted into an even more comfortable position lying across the legs of the beauty.
Imperial Eagle Eye’s urgent reports must be prioritized under all circumstances!
Since Prince Xuyang had decided, it became an immutable rule for the Imperial Eagle Eye.
Reingano, this towering man over two meters tall, finally bowed his head and tapped his hand armor gently, and a string of text messages began to project to the side of his hand armor.
Reingano read each word, and then his eyebrows began to knit together as a crackling sound emerged around him, and his eyes blazed with an intense light!
The man, who had stood still like a giant bear statue, now radiated a terrifying aura that seemed capable of annihilating all in its path.
This unabashed and unhidden aura made Lin Wu beside him bury his head even lower.
It was Lin Wu’s first time witnessing Marshal Reingano, and he had been questioning whether the rumors were true, but now the aura casually emitting from the man left no room for doubt in Lin Wu’s mind.
Such terrifying killing intent definitely belonged to a seasoned general who had waged war for decades.
At that moment, Lind Wu truly believed that this towering figure was indeed the pinnacle of Gardot Empire’s military might—Marshal Reingano!
“What matter could possibly arouse the Marshal to such a state?”
Still with that careless demeanor, Xuyang’s fingers gracefully traced along a beautiful, jade-like leg before coming to rest on a stone table in front of him, where he picked up a translucent grape and tossed it into his mouth.
It seemed as if there was nothing in this world worthy of his serious attention.
Yet, Marshal Reingano rose respectfully, the giant in heavy armor like a mountain casting a shadow that covered half the hall in an instant.
He did not show any emotional reaction to Xuyang’s attitude.
“Reporting to your Highness,” Reingano tried to adjust his emotional tone, but the fervent battle intent in his voice proved impossible to eradicate.
“Imperial Eagle Eye reports, at the Mecha Martial Arts Tournament venue, the Land of Bright Star, an unknown Four Demon God Machine has been discovered, the Death God… Asura!”
The hand that was about to toss another grape into the mouth suddenly froze.
Then, with a pop, the transparent grape burst, its juice splattering into the eyes of the green-haired beauty, causing tears to flow immediately, but the stunningly gorgeous girl dared not make a sound. Instead, she closed her eyes tightly and let the tears slide down her smooth cheeks.
Prince Xuyang had life and death authority over her, and she dared not utter a sound with the Prince in such a state.
“Very well.”
Xuyang patted the jade leg he was resting upon, his intention unclear if he was praising the woman or the news.
But Lin Wu, who had kept his head bowed, suddenly widened his eyes in shock because he finally perceived the rare seriousness in the Prince’s tone.
“To think it’s the Death God Asura. Marshal Reingano, it seems like it’s your old rival, isn’t it? That account of the Royal Family’s Guard’s honor being trampled upon years ago hasn’t been settled yet.”
The smile gradually faded, and Xuyang’s face became indifferent, cold, and emotionless.
“Please grant permission for the Black Knight to strike!”
Reingano suddenly looked up, and with a loud clash of fist to palm in front of him, the striking sound of metal reverberated throughout the room, instantly filling the atmosphere with a solemn promise of killing.
“Granted, Marshal. The adversary is also a Demon God Machine, exercise utmost caution. Should it be necessary… I will join the battle.”
Xuyang, a tall figure with handsome features, had already risen from his seat and turned around to see the previously live broadcast screen now turned pitch black; with his hands clasped behind his back, his faint voice continued to rise:
“Please have the Huangchuan Fleet activate the Huangchuan Iron Curtain mode, escort the Black Knight along.”
Huangchuan Xiong, kneeling on one knee below, responded thunderously.
The Prince had personally spoken, and there was no longer any reason not to comply.
Even Huangchuan Xiong, the ambitious Clan Leader of Huangchuan, did not dare to hesitate on this matter.
Besides, wasn’t the unique Huangchuan Iron Curtain mode the exact reason for the Prince’s presence?
“Marshal Reingano, please come with me.”
“Thank you.”
The two imposing, burly men walked out of the hall one after the other.
A smile appeared on Xuyang’s face as he looked down from the stage:
“Mr. Lin, accompany me to watch a great show this time.”
…
“My blood is beginning to boil. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone dare to massacre like this, hehe… I can’t contain the desire to take action anymore.”
In that distant volcano, the mecha that only revealed its head, bathed in red all over, still soaked quietly in the lava. Inside the cockpit, a voice unable to suppress its excitement roared.
The palm resting on the console began to tremble slightly.
That wasn’t fear, but excitement, the thrill of finding a kindred spirit.
“Kill, keep on killing! Can you feel the decay of the Federation? Tear through the veil of this darkness…”
That palm finally spread open, and the fingers pressed down heavily.
The colours on the combat screen, that had been ordinary moments before, instantly changed to the hue of molten lava, and at the same time, a cold electronic voice resonated in the cockpit filled with the smell of sulfur:
“[True Red Equipment], combat preparations activated, entering True Red Charging mode, countdown 60, 59…”
“The seeds of revolution will be planted in the hearts of the people, I await the day of the eruption. Thunderhawk, this time your opponent is me… Hahahaha!” That laughter, bordering on the paranoid and slightly neurotic, echoed inside the cockpit.
The flickering screen reflected the corners of a smirking mouth beneath half a mask, and a pair of sharp and bright eyes began to sparkle with light.
The magma in the volcano’s crater, which had been relatively calm, finally began to boil, countless bubbles starting to gurgle up.
The volcano’s roar was just beginning.
…
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of your legend… But so what if you are a Killing Machine? Look at yourself now, where is the might you once had? Could that rumor be true, that you, alone, nearly perished in the Gardot Empire… What about your arm, hahaha!”
Andumari quickly moved past the initial shock, seeing the dilapidation of the Shura Mecha, a newfound confidence, and an unstoppable train of thought blossomed within him.
The once mighty mecha’s current state made it easy to imagine the degradation of its components.
This is a mecha, not a human body that can be endlessly honed and improved.
In its current broken state, there’s absolutely no way it has its former SS-level strength.
If, if I manage to slay this unknown Four Demon God Machine here, then I, the Gatepost Knight at the bottom of the Seventy-Two Gatepost Knights, Demon Snake Andumari, will have my fame echo through the entire universe!
Demon Snake Thousand Shadows!
Inside the cockpit, Andumari’s burly figure stood suspended in midair, his arms suddenly flailing in a complex pattern.
The deceitfully real and illusory dark yellow Shura Machine, Strangling Demon Snake, suddenly dispersed.
And then it formed a three-dimensional hemispherical array, enveloping the small-form Shura within it.
Countless mirror images hung still in the sky at that moment, all looking towards the tiny mecha encased within.
Each of the mirror image Demon Snakes with Python Floating Cannons at their sides began to tremble violently, spitting out thousands of beams.
This time, the mirror image array formed by the Strangling Demon Snake was like a thick magnifying glass, focusing the light onto a single point.
The ultimate destructive power began to converge entirely onto the mecha at the very center.
The life-and-death foe of this battle, the Outer Domain Four Demon God Machine—Shura!
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
In the cockpit, Mu Fan, also suspended in midair, wore an indifferent expression.
The surging heartbeat continuously pumped blood throughout his body.
At this moment, Shura’s perception had entirely synched with his own.
This was Shura’s battle, and it was also his, Mu Fan’s, battle.
A deep and pure blood red entirely covered his eyeballs.
Shura held the Blood Prison Blade horizontally in front of his chest, and Mu Fan felt as if he had entered a world moving at an extreme slow motion.
“Activate: Shura Domain.”
