Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

The rapidly ascending cockpit completely transformed into a Fire Meteor.

The shell's intense friction with the atmosphere generated a barrier that shielded all signals.

Inside the cockpit, accompanied by Black's frenzied screams, it was all in vain.

In the area covered by the impact wave, nearly 2000 kilometers in diameter, aside from the ground remaining intact, all life forms and equipment turned to dust.

No signal transmitter, no signal relay.

In that instant, Mu Fan's presence seemed to be utterly erased from the planet.

The mysterious energy unleashed during Taigu's self-destruction enveloped the planet.

At this moment, a strange, sparse purple light mist floated in the sky.

The mysterious energy was surging, vast, boundless, yet it contained a single message, a message understandable by any race in this universe, comprising over ten thousand languages and scripts.

Instantly piercing the atmosphere, crossing light-years, it radiated throughout the massive Galaxy Federation, then continued unabatedly spreading to the Gardot Empire, Solomon, Outer Domain Galaxy…

The message finally formed a common text:

[Ancient Relic Treasure Vault countdown to activation! Coordinates: 0548...]

A string of complex numbers mixed with letters appeared.

This message, ordinary people couldn't perceive it, ordinary devices couldn't discover it.

However...

In Mosibai Mountain's dome on the Capital Star, beneath the Green Bamboo Sea on the Capital Star, in the Cloud Water Artificial Star Ring of the Second Star Domain, on the seventh satellite of Frisa's white dwarf in the Outer Domain Galaxy, in the Moon Sail Constellation Sea of Nothingness in the Gardot Empire, in the dean's office of the Five Great Colleges of the Federation, in Solomon's Black Water Star Demon Prison…

In those places where either no one sets foot, or high above, or bustling with people yet devoid of any anomalies, simultaneously, countless eyes gazed with astonishment and excitement, with joy and disbelief…

Instantly standing up!

"—The Ancient Relic is about to appear! The ancient technology surpassing planes is about to reemerge!"

The entire universe, due to the sudden emergence of this message, began to stir up an unprecedented storm of intrigue!

The ordinary planet councilmen, councilmen, were kept in the dark.

But deep beneath the calm surface, those true rulers of the starry sky, they knew.

The once-in-thirty-years opportunity had come again, the time to reshuffle, had arrived!

…

However, no one knew, the instigator of all this, was trapped in a life-and-death crisis!

Mu Fan's pulse grew increasingly weak, his blood pressure started to drop, his body temperature becoming colder and colder.

He was unaware of what was happening outside, thinking the {Supreme Guardian} had turned into a death crisis due to the prior broken ribs.

He didn't know that the much-desired information about the ancient relic was revealed through the self-destruction of the Meteor 3 engine.

He didn't know that the annihilation space created by Taigu Mecha, upon entering that scarlet space tunnel, in the moment of explosion…

Did not destroy that terrifying Starry Sky Gate.

Behind the scarlet vertical pupil, suddenly reached out one hand, two hands, three hands…

One hundred hands, two hundred hands, three hundred hands…

The terrifying claws, resembling those of Bone-faced Insect Beasts, emerged from the void, pressing down on that sporadically pulsating black energy cluster at the same time.

The exploding energy was forcibly contained within the starry sky.

And beyond that starry sky, there was densely packed, no less than tens of thousands, of Bone-faced Insect Beast legions, and in the distance, there seemed to be a group the size of a planet!

It was clearly the Corruptor and Guardian armies that traversed the universe without breathing, unafraid of cold, and undeterred by radiation.

Their numbers were… in the billions!?

They just silently watched the energy cluster that had bombarded in, through the two holes of the White Bone Mask was… mocking.

The bone wings without flesh membranes flapped, these humanoid Bone-faced Insect Beasts allowed the collapsing gravity field to erode their limbs.

Yet their limbs had brown energy flows resisting the collapsing force field, which gradually dissolved the gravity field upon contact.

When the energy cluster volume reduced by half.

A massive brown tail swept across the starry sky, hundreds of meters high, over a dozen kilometers long, then struck heavily on the Taigu Mecha's energy cluster.

Then the energy from Meteor 3, capable of annihilating space and causing collapse, was slammed with a single strike.

Directly shattered into a myriad of starlight…

Purple starlight drifted in the unknown universe, light spots dotted with a cruel beauty.

A colossal lizard-like Starry Sky Giant Beast, nearly half the size of a planet, emerged from the darkness.

Atop the head of this Starry Sky Giant Beast, stood still a completely white… "Bone-faced Man"?

It was so conspicuous because within a hundred kilometers around it, there were no other Zeg present.

Its knees were no longer backward-jointed, the delicate bone armor was no longer rough, the streamlined bone was seamlessly integrated, with no flesh exposed in its entirety.

The head seemed covered by an ancient soldier's helmet, leaving only two pitch-black holes.

The wings were no longer as tattered as those of ordinary Bone-faced Insect Beasts, but covered with a thin membrane.

Nearing fifty meters in height, but most unforgettable was the giant Bone Scythe resting across its head and shoulders.

In the deep space of the universe, when light from distant celestial bodies fell upon it, it shimmered with brilliance, enhancing the exquisite cruelty of its silence.

Its gaze passed through the drifting purple star mist and landed on the huge bloody vertical pupil in the distance, slightly tilting its head.

Then casually raised its left arm.

The forearm completely covered in bone armor suddenly cracked open in several places, and six flesh-red tentacles shot out violently, wrapping around the claw.

The tips of the tentacles had no eyes, no sharp teeth.

Instead, there were six crimson yellow eyeballs.

Six gentle rays spewed forth, evenly falling onto the starry sky giant gate.

The vertical pupil that was about to collapse suddenly stabilized mysteriously, the hazy yellow energy actually surpassing the stability of the crystal stone formation on Planet 131.

After completing all this, the left arm returned to its original state, and its next action was just one.

The left claw, like a human being, gently raised and waved forward.

Tens of thousands of bone-faced insect beasts' eyes ignited with terrifying ferocity, disappearing into the giant gate at a speed dozens of times the speed of sound.

Just now, their Commander—White Armor Lord.

Had just issued a command.

Completely erase the attacker just now, and then...

[Plunder] and [Full Invasion]!

The first bone-faced insect beast to emerge from the "bloody vertical pupil" beheld a vast barren land and was momentarily stunned.

Then it coldly gazed at a fat insect that had just crawled out from beneath the tattered flesh net several kilometers away, ignoring it.

Once again, it gently lifted its head covered in bone armor, looking towards the clouds above.

There, a fire meteor was rushing toward space.

The right hand, covered in claws, gently bent backward, and a sharp bone blade was drawn out, bending and curving.

The broken wings on its back trembled gently, and in an instant, sonic booms shattered the original place, a blurred shadow rushed upwards.

...

Having already broken through the thick atmosphere, completely entering the sky, the cockpit at this moment was as insignificant as a speck of space dust.

Black shouted desperately as Mu Fan's vitality gradually faded.

This time, the trauma Mu Fan encountered far surpassed any previous time.

However, at this moment, the metal tag branded on Mu Fan's chest, the "Fan" character carved into his chest emitted a heat hotter than ever before.

That pain surpassed the flesh, piercing straight to the soul.

"Ah!!!"

Mu Fan, with eyes tightly closed, let out a final roar like a fierce beast at the brink of despair.

And just at this moment, invisibly, the strings of fate vibrated.

That dying breath once again crossed space through some unknown means.

On the surface of a planet thousands of kilometers away, beneath a base strewn with alloys.

A small black mecha quietly standing, its arm gently trembled.

When that faint thread of breath transmitted to its sea of consciousness, it was like an entire ocean of gasoline instantly ignited by a nuclear bomb!

A shocking, violent aura surged from its body.

Tightly shut eyes suddenly snapped open!

Two... blood tears instantly flowed from its sockets.

Shura raised its scarred face to look at the dark alloy barrier.

That mouth, never opened before, suddenly opened wide at this moment!

A beast's most ferocious roar, carrying terrifying sound waves, smashed heavily towards the five-meter-thick pure metal ultra-heavy protective layer.

Carrying the coldest and most bone-chilling killing intent in history...

It shattered through the entire metal underground, directly exploding a hundred-meter-high metal fountain.

A scorching red flame instantly ignited from the feet, engulfing the whole body.

Boom!

Four bloody halos exploded from behind.

Ten times the speed of sound,

twenty times,

forty times,

fifty times!

Boom, boom, boom!

A blood-colored long arrow tore through the sky, striking towards the stars!

That belief, like the most intense sunlight, illuminated the entire planet without concealment.

Before Shura falls, you...

will never die!
