Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

Shura ignored the terrifying insect tail, nearly filling the entire vertical pupil in diameter, which cracked the ground with a gentle swipe.

Across ten thousand meters, the blood-red eyes pierced through the dense swarm directly onto that fat brain worm.

A chilling and bloodthirsty aura suddenly surged from the clouds.

The next moment, the sky condensed into a terrifying tornado, and a blood-colored lightning formed from an afterimage struck straight down!

That chubby white brain worm instantly sensed a crisis of death. Its body, still floating mid-air, twisted frantically, and its mung bean-like eyes immediately saw that blood-colored lightning in the sky.

The other insects were combat units converted to fearless sacrificial roles, unafraid of death.

But it was not like them; it was an intelligent existence second only to the commander and the queen within its race!

It embodied a composite of countless human intelligence, capable of extracting information from human brains; it even possessed emotions surpassing humans.

Thus, it feared death.

The chubby brain worm screamed desperately in mid-air.

The bone-faced insect beasts present all ranked higher than it, belonging to the high-level combat units of the race.

However, when the brain worm issued its life-saving cry, the eyes of those bone-faced insect beasts instantly filled with blood veins, and they opened their mouths in unison, roaring angrily.

Then, like stars falling to earth, they thunderously pursued.

The Zeg Clan combat units may die by the millions, but no intelligent entity can be lost.

That transcendent intelligence is their most precious asset in conquering one star after another.

Without the brain worm, hundreds of billions of low-level units would merely be a loose coalition.

As the aura of the brain worm's danger spread across the entire space, even into the spatial passage, that terrifying giant tail began to frantically pound the ground.

Deep, bottomless ravines emerged on the desolate land.

Earth crack, mountain collapse—none could express the anger and fury of that giant tail's true form.

However, this time their opponent was not the slow Taigu, but the Shura, whose speed dominated the entire starry sky!

An immense rage that the entire universe could not extinguish!

That blood-colored lightning was so fast it was unavoidable, trailing a thick red trajectory that left a continuous line of frozen afterimages descending from the sky.

Then, a shadow appeared instantly beside the five-meter-long, fat brain worm.

The desperately swinging head stiffened as its mung bean-like eyes saw that descending hand from the sky.

Despite the palm being small, at this moment the brain worm felt an unprecedented danger.

Aside from its own life, there was an unknown great terror!

The icy hand directly pressed gently on the brain worm's head, then with irresistible force, pressed it to the ground.

This fat worm stood over three meters tall, meaning it was almost as tall as the Shura when upright.

Now the brain worm desperately transmitted all information of pleading and begging, hoping for a response from the opposite side, yet meanwhile, it conveyed the slaughter message for this mecha to all the bone-faced insect beasts that had burst from the spatial passage.

During the stalemate, those bone-faced insect beasts, already numbered in the thousands, lunged forward with a formidable aura.

It was buying time, convinced that this cold mecha would not give any response.

Yet the seemingly pitiable brain worm did receive a difficult reply.

The message was unmistakably understandable to it, for the language was not the native language of this world, but rather...

The language of their homeland!

The brain worm's mung bean-like eyes displayed horror.

[...Detected pure energy source... Preparing... Extraction!]

This text also clearly traversed back through the spatial passage, transmitted to the mind of the one in white armor standing on the massive star beast in the other world.

Just as the brain worm was fully devising the next delaying reason.

A pitch-black, mottled hand deeply thrust between the brain worm's eyes amidst the fierce glares of the bone-faced insect beasts.

Like a hand knife slicing into tofu.

The last sparkle in the white fat worm's eyes froze on that indifferent silhouette.

In an instant, the sky froze, with purple light showers and blood and flesh fragments swirling.

At this moment, all focus converged onto that tattered, tiny black mecha.

When Shura's right hand completely sank into the brain worm's body, not a drop of blood flowed out.

Time paused for a moment.

Then the fat, white worm abruptly ballooned like a blown-up balloon, and at a diameter close to thirty meters, it exploded.

Yet still, no blood surged forth.

There was only a cluster of...

The purest white brilliance!

At this moment, Shura stood there, one hand pressing forward virtually.

A tremendous suction appeared in the palm of the hand, and the massive white energy light mass was absorbed like a whale drinking a hundred rivers. A horizontal tornado formed, violently rushing into the pitch-black palm and disappearing!

As the first wave of white energy entered the body, the blood-red flames burning around Shura suddenly rose nearly a hundred meters high!

An aura of extinction and death, far surpassing all the Zegs present, emerged simultaneously.

Amidst the gigantic blood flames, the Blood Prison Blade at Shura's waist automatically floated up, then lightly inserted into the ground under the cloak's cover.

The entire body of Shura, devoid of any attachments, simply maintained that standing motion with one hand pressing forward, calm and composed.

Above its head, the nearest batch of Bone-faced Insect Beasts had less than three seconds to strike Shura.

However, at this moment, Shura within the blood flames suddenly transformed!

The place where Shura's left arm was bitten off by the giant Star Beast began to wriggle uneasily, and then countless white glows emerged from the severed area, with some substance starting to break free from the severed arm.

Then, in less than a second, a brand-new arm astonishingly "grew" out!

Moreover, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the wounds across Shura's body began to automatically heal, smooth and clean as new.

Mu Fan couldn't see all these anomalies, nor could he see the energy gauge in front of him on which the red progress bar representing energy storage suddenly turned into an eerie white. The system's word "energy" directly transformed into "Pure Energy." The corresponding number also instantly dropped from 14% to 0.14%, only to abruptly surge upward from 0.14%!

But this was not the end; it was merely a beginning.

[Pure Energy Absorption 5%!]

[Pure Energy Absorption 15%!]

...

[Pure Energy Absorption 35%!]

[Activate automatic repair capability, full-body repair commencing…]

[Pure Energy achieves body restoration state, in full-power mode, can switch to original state time… 60 seconds.]

The final alert displayed.

Black in the cockpit was already stunned by the barrage of alerts.

"What, Pure Energy? Tin can, you can switch to the original state, is this not you? Automatic repair can grow an arm? Am I too crazy or is this world too crazy…" Black muttered, then suddenly shouted loudly, "Can this energy save Mu Fan?"

Without Black's reminder, a white glow suddenly lit up along the metal tube behind Mu Fan's head.

When the white energy entered his body, a magical and shocking scene unfolded.

Mu Fan's short hair unexpectedly began to grow, and the white glow actually recast Mu Fan's bone cells, and the missing, smashed ribs in his chest miraculously grew back, surpassing the magnificent capabilities of nano robots.

His eyelids began to twitch incessantly, and as the movement became more pronounced, a pair of eyes suddenly snapped open!

The unconscious Mu Fan astonishingly became conscious in an instant and felt his condition had reached a peak level.

And what was with the dangling black hair in front of his eyes?

Realizing the surroundings, he understood he was inside Shura.

But he already had no time to ask how Shura came to be here, as Mu Fan noticed the extremely peculiar phenomena around him and outside the Mecha.

"Shura, what's going on!?"

...

Seemingly to respond to his question, a clear and powerful voice emerged, no longer carrying the previous sense of obscurity.

[Shura decides independently: Activate original state! Remaining time 60 seconds!]

[Shura decides independently: Revenge!]

[Shura decides independently: Activate memory absorption state!]

Mu Fan's shoulders were suddenly gripped by two mechanical arms.

"SSS-class, Emperor Body Shura—60 seconds available!!"

This line of text flashed across the light screen.

Mu Fan suddenly found his view beginning to rise.

A sound like bamboo shoots growing after a spring rain began to emanate in his ears.

It bore vitality, energy, vigor, and an unbeatable will.

Within the blood flames, a terrifying aura surpassing all Zegs erupted overwhelmingly, and it began to——

climb without limit!

At this moment, the dozens of Bone-faced Insect Beasts in the forefront, with their cruel and frenzied gazes, recklessly charged into the blood flames.

Time was frozen at this instant!
