Chapter 848: Chapter 621: Time’s Up—30 Minutes
On the solitary Artificial Star Ring, in a solitary ancient castle, when the oppressive black spacecraft descended, all that could be seen was the red back of a giant Mecha.
Upon seeing this familiar scene again, Nigel and Sun Ruo’s expressions were a mix of humiliation and comfort.
Their courage came from the powerful and terrifying warship beneath them, and from the illustrious reputation built upon countless lives by the Gale’s Tiger.
“Seeing them again, what do you feel? Anger, humiliation, calmness, or is it still fear?”
Sebu Gale quietly watched the light screen, not turning his head as he asked.
Nigel knew this was directed at him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head.
“My feelings are complicated, everything my brother mentioned… it seems like all of them.”
He didn’t dare to boast, all his negative emotions stemmed from the opponent’s strength, while his composure came from the power of the Gale’s Tiger.
“At least you’re honest. As a direct descendant of the Gale family, your vision is indeed too narrow. Your cowardice stems from the insignificance of your power, so today I will teach you a lesson on what truly gives someone the confidence to speak up.”
The simple words stirred Nigel’s emotions; only now did he truly understand why his half-brother was not interested in competing for inheritance rights.
Because his vision had already far surpassed his own!
His strength was the very confidence that allowed him to disregard the Gale family.
“Next… it’s time to get that Mecha out.”
His gaze fell on the damaged top of the castle in the light screen, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
In a crisp uniform, his left hand was raised and pressed into the void.
A sapphire blue light screen appeared in front of him, displaying countless patterns.
As his palm gently rotated over it, the images on the main light screen began to zoom in, the picture of the castle continuously enlarging.
Then a red reticle emerged from the edge of the light screen, shrinking alongside the zooming images.
Bit by bit, bit by bit.
Sebu Gale calmly operated with one hand in the void until the Mecha was completely locked in.
The red reticle began to flicker.
“Lord Sebu, th-this is my castle!”
Sun Ruo stuttered in excitement, unable to resist standing out as he saw the red reticle lock onto the auction hall.
This was his pride!
The red reticle was clearly a weapon’s aiming sight, what was going to happen?
“Mm, I know, and then?”
The indifferent rebuttal left Sun Ruo speechless; with a grim face, he said, “Lord Sebu, what are you planning to do?”
“Of course, to flush him out like a dog.”
As the words fell, Sebu Gale calmly pressed his palm down into the void.
The flickering red reticle finally became stable.
The warship’s surface, black and covered with Dragon Scales, suddenly opened up a section that protruded upwards, and then a black missile with a long flame trail shot up at an angle, tracing an arc before spiraling downward.
A white contrail bloomed instantly in the pitch-black space, piercing effortlessly through the shield.
Then it descended directly.
The United Light Ultimate Missile!
With a nano-explosive warhead, delivering a power equivalent to 800 kilograms of TNT, an Air-to-Ground Missile equipped with a High Explosive Warhead, at a speed of Mach 5, one shot was enough to pierce a standard B-class Mecha, destroying all life within a 300-meter radius.
An ear-piercing shriek descended from the sky, vanishing into the castle in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The entire castle in the light screen shook for a moment, then a terrifying fireball surged from the damaged castle top, spreading outwards with destructive force.
Instantly, massive clouds of smoke enveloped the area where the West Cold Auction House castle stood.
Even through the light screen, the terrifying shockwave could be felt.
“One really can’t let loose here, if I could fire all at once to erase this Star Ring, what a splendid spectacle it would be.”
Amidst the casual reflection, Young Master Sun and Nigel both trembled all over.
Sun Ruo’s chin trembled, his heart bleeding in agony; this was his thriving foundation.
Before him, the ruthless young man had, with a mere casual gesture, reduced his castle to ruin with a missile.
“This is our Sun family’s foundation, how could you destroy our Sun family’s…”
“Hmm?” Just a single indifferent, icy gaze was enough to choke Sun Ruo on his words, unable to continue.
And yet Nigel was deeply shaken by such reckless power to obliterate a massive structure between banter without hesitation.
Indifferent words, unrestrained actions, yet none dared to challenge his edge.
This was—domineering!
The unique domineering nature belonging to Gale’s Tiger!
He looked eagerly at his brother, naturally choosing to ignore Sun Ruo’s trembling questioning voice.
However, Sebu Gale did not ignore it, instead casually turning his head towards Young Master Sun, “Swallow any dissatisfaction, if you’re unhappy, let your Sun family’s leader come to me. I’m dealing with Gale family matters, until things are settled, casualties are irrelevant.”
After saying this, Gab calmly instructed: “Activate full spectrum scan, let me see if that big red dog has escaped or died pathetically.”
The silent soldiers swiftly operated with both hands on the consoles, “Reporting to Sir, the explosion center is at high temperature, spectral stereoscopic imaging failed, preparing to switch to optical auxiliary mode.”
Under the quiet or agitated gazes of everyone, thick smoke rose from the castle and gradually dispersed.
First, the sight of a bright red blade-like horn emerged from the smoke.
Then a red arm raised high towards the sky appeared, followed by the ghostly blue eyes suddenly visible through the black mist.
A red giant, half-kneeling, raising only its left arm with fingers spread over its head, finally manifested!
Its right arm, equipped with a terrifying Piling Machine, was bent and pressed.
The red giant—[Taigu] finally stood up slowly from the ruins.
The thick rubble and still-burning debris slid off as the Mecha stood tall.
There was only a slight blackened area and shallow scratches on its Flame-painted Armor…
The grand 25-meter physique stood amidst the blaze, lifting its head to gaze at the sky.
The left arm dropped, and the right arm lifted.
The giant “steel nail,” gleaming with cold light, pointed distantly upwards.
“Heh…”
A low snicker emerged from inside the Mecha, clearly spreading across the Star Ring and resonating through the Black Dragon warship that had just pressed into the shield.
“What a show of force.”
Standing straight in the command hall, Sebu Gale heard this voice echo beside his ear.
With a chilling gaze but a smile on his face, he looked back at the two shivering individuals, “See, this big red dog has emerged, hasn’t it?”
The smile gradually faded, and Sebu Gale indifferently looked at the soldiers beside him, “Project a three-dimensional image, let me properly greet this officer from the Federation.”
“Yes, Sir.”
A section of armor at the bottom of the Black Dragon silently opened, shooting a beam of light that projected a half-human silhouette almost enveloping the entire top of the castle below.
Sebu Gale’s impassive face appeared vividly in the sky, like a giant from beyond staring down at the land. His gaze was steady, and his gentle voice spread across the Star Ring as he spoke:
“The 30 minutes are up; I’ve brought my wayward brother here. Do you have anything to say?”
The image in the light screen clearly conveyed a sense of condescension.
It was a gaze as if looking at insignificant insects.
