Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

In the blazing flames.

Taigu's massive "steel nail" emitted a thunderous roar from the magazine at the moment it collided with the iron sphere, exploding a fierce fireball.

The first roar sounded as the Piling Machine drove the "steel nail" deeply into the sphere.

The second roar propelled Taigu Mecha's fist along the "steel nail," penetrating into the sphere's interior.

When the third roar came, Mu Fan in the cockpit directly felt the wild and rebellious soul beneath Taigu's bulky exterior!

The strongest power, the strongest defense, this is the mecha where Nuonuo poured most of her efforts and dreams.

"Shatter for me!"

Boom!

Like a warhead with tremendous kinetic energy crashing into a ripe watermelon.

The next second, the enormous iron sphere fragmented into pieces, scattering across the sky like a wave.

Thick smoke and blazing fire swept across the sky.

It also engulfed Taigu Mecha, which seemed to punch like a lowered head.

...

No one expected such a terrifying effect from the collision between the two.

No one thought that the red mecha really had the courage to collide with this massive iron sphere.

Like a meteor crashing into a planet, everyone who saw it was in awe.

Especially the row of green-painted fleet behind the Black Dragon.

"Did that mecha get shattered by the Armor-Piercing Hammer?"

"I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be shattered."

"This courage is commendable, truly worthy of Gale's Tiger, possessing such ferocious weaponry!"

The Sun Family members couldn't help but marvel at the spectacular scene.

So much so that no one noticed that their young master, Sun Ruo, had already appeared on their warship.

"Quickly look, something seems to be falling from that cloud of smoke."

Chunks of black debris and several giant copper-colored shell casings fell from high above, then crisply hit the metal ground.

Clank~

Rumble…

The massive shell rolling amidst the smoke finally ceased, and the fire in the sky vanished.

"Is it dead?"

A member of the Sun family asked.

On the Black Dragon, Nigel Gale couldn't help but ask the same thing.

He hated Mu Fan down to his bones; if he didn't die, he wouldn't have peace of mind.

Sebu Gale stood quietly, observing, and then…

His pupils contracted.

"Boom!"

In the protective shield over the Star Ring, a circle of white wave suddenly exploded.

Then, a fierce red figure flashed past and violently collided with the Slaughter Master, which was raising its right arm to launch missiles again.

The spectacle of twenty-five-meter tall and forty-meter tall steel giants colliding finally became visible.

Those who were discussing a moment ago closed their mouths.

Now, they didn't care where the massive iron sphere had gone, nor did they mind the faint white smoke emanating from Taigu's right arm.

All they saw were two heavy mechas fiercely colliding in the air.

Then, the dark brown giant mecha, Slaughter Master, was directly hit out of the protective layer by the red figure moving upward, breaking into space.

No more surface to tread on, freed from artificial gravity, Mu Fan and Wang Nuonuo's bodies floated lightly.

Simultaneously, the two heavy mechas were finally rid of weight limitations.

Fred, seeing Taigu tightly gripping his mecha's shoulder, flashed a vicious look in his eyes.

"Before the great Fred, what are you!?"

The enormous Slaughter Master's hefty head suddenly exposed a rapidly spinning, colossal drill.

Reversing the grip, it securely locked onto Taigu.

Sparks illuminated where the two mechas' bodies rubbed, and amidst the reflection of sparks, Slaughter Master prepared to drill forward.

Slaughter Master's most powerful attack is at mid-to-close range, its endless array of arms making it a complete war machine.

"Sir, should we leave them alive?"

"Did I ever give an order to leave them alive?" Sebu Gale responded indifferently.

"Understood." Fred replied excitedly, his gaze cruel.

Nigel standing beside could feel his own blood boiling.

This mecha's drill is as thick as the red mecha's waist; it looks like a fearsome and brutal weapon.

However, what he saw was the red giant—Taigu Mecha's eyes flashed with blue light.

Atop, the Single-Horned Thunder Blade ignited with mixed red and electric hues.

Silently, it lit up the Thunder Blade.

Taigu, entering Slaughter Master's embrace, did not dodge or flinch.

Its head slammed forward, and the Single-Horned Thunder Blade fiercely slashed down.

The huge drill ignited in flames the instant it touched the Single-Horned Thunder Blade, then effortlessly split into two.

The arms tightly gripping the opponent's shoulders silently dropped, and Taigu Mecha's thrusters emitted terrifying thrusts.

When the entire mecha lowered its head, the resistance it faced completely vanished, and then a red streak flashed downward.

The figures of the two mechas separated…

A track thoroughly melted by extremely high temperatures… neatly split from Slaughter Master's head, center forehead, down to its waist.

There was no sound in the universe, so all that could be seen was the horrific scene of the heavy space mecha [Slaughter Master] being dismembered by a head blade.

"Rated A Level~ without Quasi-S Level strength, item assessment pending."

In the end, Fred only left Sebu Gale with this one line of text.

And that red mecha with a thumbs up before reversing its hand—the Taigu!

"Brother? Brother..."

Nigel saw his brother's hands sagging on the console, body leaning forward beneath the microphone.

When Sebu Gale spoke, a low and slightly hoarse voice resonated.

At this instant, it seemed Gale's Tiger lost its sense of amusement.

"Establish connection."

[Both parties connected successfully.]

Cold blue pupils appeared before Mu Fan, and Mu Fan, equally expressionless, appeared before Sebu Gale.

Separated by a great distance, yet they locked eyes.

Finally, it was Gale's Tiger who spoke first, with a cold tone devoid of fluctuation:

"You really have some guts; you have no idea who you've messed with."

Mu Fan looked at the clear face opposite him, turned his head to glance at Nuonuo, then chuckled softly:

"I think I do."

"Heh, you wouldn't imagine it. Next, I hope you can still maintain your composure, unexpected Federation man." Sebu Gale shook his head indifferently, snapping his fingers, like toppling dominoes, one interstellar gunship after another emerged from beneath the Black Dragon.

This Federation officer would never have imagined he was facing not the Barnard forces but the outright... Solomon warriors!

When the number of gunships exceeded fifty, the Sun Family warships that had been spreading out also aligned, filling the deep space of the universe.

The total number approached a hundred.

"Get back first."

A gentle press of the right hand forward.

The turrets of the hundred warships surrounding the Black Dragon simultaneously shone brilliantly.

Several beams shot out, then converged into a stream of light flames striking the body of the Taigu.

The whole mecha's shell began to glow red-hot from the scorching heat.

In that torrent of beams, the Taigu in space was blasted back to the ground.

The familiar sense of gravity appeared, and the returned Taigu on the Star Ring was pushed nearly three hundred meters across the ground.

Alongside Gale's Tiger came the flattering voices of the Sun Family: "Sebu sir's warship power is incredibly surprising and admirable."

A casual smile curled up at the corner of Sebu Gale's mouth, as he calmly observed the young figure who had just fully resisted the beam attack.

"Futile, in the deep cosmos, in the face of an invincible fleet, no mecha can withstand."

"Hahaha~~ Sebu sir is right, and thank you sir for saving my son, in that case, my Sun Family is willing to be Gale's Tiger's vanguard!"

Another light screen appeared at Sebu Gale's side.

On the screen was a middle-aged man with a fawning face, and behind him, Sun Ruo with a lowered head, contemplating with uncertainty.

"Agreed."

With just one word, the current head of the Sun Family, Sun Zhan, beamed with joy.

A green Sun Family warship, second in rank by size, instantly disengaged from the formation, pointing its particle cannon muzzle downward.

At the same time, a row of green mechas shot out from beneath the warship, looking down on the Star Ring from above.

Their gun muzzles aligned below.

The next second, they were about to shower the fallen mecha with a rain of bullets.

Yet, a faint query suddenly came through the communication screen, interrupting the dialogue between the Sun Family Family Head and Sebu Gale.

"Is this unbeatable?"

Hehe, hehehehe...

Mu Fan supported his forehead with a hand, laughter growing louder.

Then as the man opposite began to feel impatient, he raised his left hand, horizontally before him, dropping his eyelids to quietly glance down.

Much like a man waiting for food, looking at his watch.

"Are you stalling for time?"

"No, I'm just looking at the time." Mu Fan shook his head.

"...What do you mean?" Sebu Gale frowned, maintaining his superior posture.

"Up until now... it's only been 30 minutes." Mu Fan's mouth lifted in a cold smile.

Eyelids raised, directly meeting those ice-blue eyes.

"Now that those who should scatter have scattered, and those who should arrive have arrived, it certainly has been a show."

"So, is it my turn... to take the stage officially?"

Mu Fan's enigmatic statement filled the communication channel with silence.

The Sun Family's Family Head and Sebu Gale both pondered over the meaning behind Mu Fan's words.

At this moment, an aura sharp as a blade emanated from Mu Fan.

He turned his head, looking at the thoroughly protected girl by the buffering shield, speaking softly:

"Nuonuo, for the time coming... just sit quietly here."

"Let me show you a magic trick, okay?"

The girl blinked her bright eyes, sensing an indescribable aura around Mu Fan, mature and sharp, something she had never seen before.

She nodded vigorously.

"Okay!"
