Chapter 845: Chapter 618: Taigu’s Roar!
Mu Fan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of the brown mecha just fully exposed in the sky, seemingly with its guns already aimed at this area.
Cold steel, cold firearms, and omnipresent killing intent.
Yet he remained unmoved.
Because the spiral hatch before him finally opened like a blossoming flower.
His body gently swayed, and his arms loosened.
Mu Fan’s entire body plunged into the dark void of the hatch.
Amid the sound of pressure balancing, this over 25-meter-tall red giant seemed to come to life.
…
“Number AJ07 has arrived above the explosion point.”
“Number AJ12 has arrived above the explosion point.”
“Number AJ16…”
The engines roared behind three Star Capital Guard mechas, hovering above the empty castle.
The 15-meter-high bodies with brown armor, their shoulder-mounted missile arrays were particularly conspicuous.
Behind them, each had two floating cannons quietly suspended in mid-air.
The WingSuit Barnard Autonomous Floating Cannon, the standard auxiliary of the Star Capital Guard mechas. The 92mm dual-linked Gauss cannons equipped with an advanced auto-locking system can achieve spherical three-dimensional strikes from unexpected positions.
High explosive bombs, armor-shattering bullets, armor-piercing bullets, the three standard munitions are enough to inflict destructive strikes on various armors.
At the same time, these Star Capital Guard mechas were equipped with the Adaf Pulse Gun, with over 2500-degree high-pressure pulses capable of melting through most armor.
The high-mobility main body and high-precision floating cannons all have features of space mechas, making these mechas the standard armed forces of the Barnard Star System.
“07, did you spot the target?” came the inquiry from a companion in the crackling communication channel.
“I found it, the opponent seems to be suspended in front of a gigantic red mecha’s chest, not ruling out the possibility that they’re trying to enter that mecha.”
Inside the first mecha to reach the sky, a one-eyed mechanical master spoke coldly.
This out-of-nowhere guy dared to cause trouble here, utterly unaware of death.
Over the years, the number of Star Thief mechas destroyed by him was no less than fifty.
However, he had never seen anyone dare to make trouble in the Inner Star Ring.
“Mr. Sun Ruo and Mr. Nigel already said, a direct kill of this explosion culprit rewards 10 million in cash, 500,000 per person for the rest. I like this extra income!” said the adjacent AJ12 mecha.
“In that case, I’ll gladly accept it first.” Number 07’s mouth curled into a sinister smile, flicking his right thumb upward to reveal a button on the control arm.
He extended his tongue to lick his lips, then excitedly pressed the button in his eye!
“Energy reaction detected, energy reaction detected below.”
“Did that mecha activate?”
Suddenly, a teammate’s reminder came through his earpiece.
On the battle screen, the fierce flame giant-like red mecha below seemed to move slightly.
But the 07 mechanical master paid no heed, his laughter echoed in the communicator:
“Just entered the mecha body? No need to bother.”
“I still have five seconds, enough to make it a sieve.”
“Barnard Autonomous Floating Cannon switching to fixed attack mode, use armor-shattering bullets.”
“——Fire!”
With endless excitement and cruelty in his remaining right eye, this 07 mechanical master beat numbers 12 and 16 to become the first firing mecha of this Star Capital Guard squad!
A flash of purple light flickered at the muzzle of the pulse rifle, then, trailing a blue glow, it instantly struck the head of the red mecha, emitting a dazzling light.
Simultaneously, the two WingSuit floating cannons unleashed a barrage of armor-shattering bullets, sweeping downward like a storm.
These weapons’ thin shells shattered upon contact with the armor, then released plastic explosives within, sticking all over the head and shoulders of the red mecha.
“Go and meet God; may there be no hatred in heaven, dear Federations,” the 07 mechanical master sneered, tracing two fingers lightly across his forehead.
“Three, two, one.”
Boom!
Under the action of the delayed fuse, the plastic explosives suddenly detonated, the resulting shockwave applied several billion Pascals of pressure on the armor, causing it to penetrate deeper.
A terrifying sea of flames rose from the upper body of the flaming giant-like mecha, and the crumbling castle flared up like a massive furnace, shooting out staggering flames and smoke instantly.
“Hahahaha… No matter how flashy it is, it’s just a civilian mecha, a big dumb thing that’s useless except as a target. This 10 million is mine…”
“Wait.”
“Energy reaction…”
“Hasn’t disappeared!”
The smoke cleared, revealing a pair of deep blue eyes, looking indifferently and coldly at the sky.
Then a giant arm rose from the smoke, flexing back.
“Not dead yet?”
“Is this a counterattack? Brothers, we’ve got some fun ahead.” Number 07 chuckled unconcernedly.
The moment the sea of fire engulfed the Taigu Mecha, Nuonuo, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up but quickly sat back down with excitement raging in her heart.
Because that red mecha, into which she had poured all her effort, suddenly extended a palm and swatted away a huge rock hurtling towards it.
“The master is unharmed.”
That was all she needed to know.
Wrapped in the invisible shield, Nuonuo sat back down. Now, all around her were flying waves of heat and debris, yet they dissipated into nothingness ahead of her.
Nuonuo’s teeth clenched tightly as she gazed at that red giant, which seemed to come alive!
In the flames, it appeared like a demon god descended.
Master, this is the gift Nuonuo prepared for you.
Then, before her eyes, the mecha flashed a sharp cold light from its right arm as it pulled back, followed by a knee-bent crouch.
The girl’s surprised lips slightly parted.
“Is that… that weapon?”
…
Nigel and Sun Ruo, having evacuated the ancient fortress and sitting in the floating car speeding away, simultaneously looked back.
When they heard the thunderous cannon fire, their faces broke into delighted smiles.
“Tsk tsk, the Star Capital Guard has intervened; it’s a pity your fortress is done for.” Nigel remarked with a hint of teasing.
“Humph, that reckless kid successfully angered me. Even if I have to bury him with money, I’ll crush him to dust!”
Sun Ruo said venomously, thinking about how this fortress was his West Cold Auction House’s symbol; it’s impossible not to feel hurt.
But just imagining that guy getting blown to smithereens fills his heart with pleasure.
“Give me another half an hour? I’ll stand here right now and watch you get turned into mince! Damn trash.”
Thinking this, he cursed furiously.
However, just as he finished cursing and hadn’t caught his breath, his mouth gaped wide open and froze…
A gigantic red giant, mixed in with countless pieces of debris, suddenly rose from the sea of fire atop the fortress.
Like a meteor ascending from below, it crashed vehemently into the Star Capital Guard firing its weapon.
“Damn it, that mecha… he activated it?”
No need for others to remind him; even AJ07’s mechanical master knew that mecha was activated.
The violent collision caused a flurry of red alerts to blare throughout the cockpit.
His head heavily knocked against the control panel, his face covered in blood.
“How is this possible!”
“How come my attacks have no effect whatsoever? Why isn’t there a single bit of damage visible on its body?”
“Why!!”
There was no way he could not be terrified.
The smooth paint job on the opposing side showed not a single crater.
Moreover, this ultra-heavy mecha… is still a space-type mecha!?
The Star Capital Guard, held single-handedly by Taigu’s left hand, shivered like a chick caught in a cold wind, powerless and futile in its resistance.
Inside the cockpit, Mu Fan regarded the opponent indifferently, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
“Done enjoying?”
“Now it’s my turn to try…”
Single-handedly hoisting the opponent, the giant blaze behind him erupted into a burst of purple exhaust.
The right arm, always folded by the waist, struck heavily.
A giant “steel spike” over five meters long instantly pierced through the opposing Star Capital Guard Mecha, which seemed thick but now appeared thin in comparison.
The icy tip penetrated, demolishing the opponent’s armor like paper.
Then, the right hand, holding the opponent’s mecha body, lifted it high.
“Ah?”
The fleeing crowd below, seeing this spectacle, were all petrified in place.
They couldn’t believe that the once-mighty Star Capital Guard Mecha now looked like a toy doll being impaled!
He broke through it with a single punch…
As everyone thought this attack was over, suddenly a ring of white air waves explosively spread from the red giant’s right fist.
Intense flames blossomed fiercely, the enormous roar echoing throughout the Star Ring.
In Mu Fan’s blazing eyes, there was a madness.
“Just because you think they’re official military… I wouldn’t dare strike back?”
Taigu’s roar—
[Hundred Thousand Ton Piling Machine]!
