Chapter 937: Half Giants

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Zheng was not a god. This was all he could do. His judgement was basically the same as everyone else's – Tita had best prepare for war.

Heaven had already risen to become the military instructor of the Tita army. He was in charge of the elite troops and the Tita giants. When they met, his smile absolved all enmity. To Heaven, he had already fallen in love with this planet. A wanderer, he had always longed for a home, something to root him. Here, he had found what he wanted – respect and a family.

Heaven had married a girl from Tita. He had fallen in love with everything here, and put down roots. This place was filled with happiness and opportunity. He had learnt much from his days at Elite Academy and the Underworld. It could be said that the appearance of a pro like Heaven did not mean much in itself, but what he imparted directly raised the elites' level.

Very few people of such standard would be willing to work such jobs. A place like Elite Academy was something only the Alliance could do.

"You punk, you haven't been gone for that long, and you're already stronger!" Heaven laughed.

"You got it. Some modest improvements. How is our main force's strength?" Wang Zheng asked. This was something that he could not ask Lan Ling. Only Heaven could answer.

Heaven was, after all, someone who had seen the big picture before. He was not as prone to worry like the rest. He smiled slightly. "Only defeat lies at the end of a head-on fight. Although Diweng and Jiro are not big, their military is not small. Plus, other countries are supporting them behind the scenes. Our Tita Star can't hold out. We can't fight a battle on enthusiasm alone."

"Hit and run?"

"If we lose space control, how far can we run?" Heaven asked. "We can't avoid having to fight a few clashes. The Tita giants have rare bravery, and their current armor is not bad. If we can deal a solid blow to the enemy, the situation might be prolonged," Heaven said.

"If I were the enemy, in order not to let tongues wag, I would use special forces," Wang Zheng said. Heaven nodded assent. Normal troops, assembled through airdrops, were not viable. Among all the regional scuffles, they operated by letting the pirates take control of space, and then airdropping special forces into key targets. Once the command network was torn asunder, the battle would be over. All that remained would be to wrangle with the Alliance, and then rebuild with their own people in charge. All objectives would be met, and peacekeeping forces would not matter.

Tita Star should be proud. They had actually attracted Arbiter and Aslan, two big empires, to ally over them. This news meant that everyone besides the superpowers would not dare to even interfere, or risk turning into food themselves.

Wang Zheng suddenly thought of Kashawen. The first time he laid eyes on that ironwoman, he knew her heart was steel. She was cold and emotionless, and he knew she was not easily finished. But he had not thought that it would take this long. Perhaps these political types were the real snakes.

Thinking of his own runic mech, Wang Zheng knew that it did not mean much, but was better than wishes for a lost battle.

Heaven clapped Wang Zheng on the shoulder. "This is Tita Star's chance to be reborn from the flames. Every superpower rose from such experiences. I don't see this as a disaster, but rather a cleansing. The Tita people have always pursued freedom. At the same time, they understand gratitude and friendship. Such planets must survive in the universe. We will prevail!"

If Wang Zheng's confidence came from a lack of fear, then Heaven's smile was stoic, facing life and death.

"Senior, thank you."

"Haha, it's me that should be thanking you. Oh, my wife is pregnant. I hope it's a boy, although I don't know if he will look more like a human or a Tita person." Speaking of his children, Heaven's smile grew. The Heaven of the past had disappeared. "You? Do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"Keke, can we not talk about this?"

"Haha, you're too reserved. One must enjoy their life. When I was your age, I was a lady killer. There are so many babes at Elite Academy. If you're free, you should bring a few back," Heaven said, smiling. This was someone who had seen a lot. This attitude was indomitable. In comparison, Lan Ling and Yan Xiaosu were not sleeping well.

On the field were two formations. On one side were the Tita giants, on the other, the mecha warriors. But the human mecha were few in number. On Tita Star, the main force was still comprised of giants. The mecha were mainly used to maintain order in the city. If there was a war, the Tita giants would be the main force.

Looking at the scene of training, Wang Zheng's blood heated up.

It was clear that Heaven's threat level assessment was very high. It was to be expected. If an Earth rank expert could not restrain them, then the Tita people's fighting abilities were uncommon indeed.

"The breathing technique that you had Rara Durai impart is very unique. It has hastened the battle abilities of the Tita giants very quickly. It's said that Solar System people are good at cultivation techniques. The rumor bears true," Heaven said.

"Who is the strongest among the giants now?" Wang Zheng asked.

"If Rara Durai uses titan strength, he's still the strongest. It is really quite amazing. All I can say is that the universe holds many marvels. If it's normal fights, it should be Mu Zhen." Heaven chuckled. "That giant is special, very special. He's a mixed blood, but a rare heir of the giants' characteristics."

"What do you mean?"

"Looks like I'm the expert now. When humans and Tita people marry and have children, the differences are not too remarkable if it's a girl. But if it's a boy, they mostly take on the human genes. Mu Zhen is a rare inheritor of the giant genes. But the boy is very perceptive. I think if the opportunity presents itself, you should bring him out to see the world."

"Call him over for a look." Wang Zheng was feeling a little curious.

"Mu Zhen!" Heaven bellowed. From the giant formation, one walked over.

"Yes, Sir!" A giant strode forward.

Wang Zheng eyed the giant in front of him. The giant's eyes were bright, looking curiously at Wang Zheng. They were full of passion. This was a very young giant.

"Mu Zhen, do you know who he is?"

The young person was clearly a little anxious from being unusually excited, and nodded. "Esteemed Ada, please allow me to greet you."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded. The giants around them displayed deep looks of envy. But the prolonged training meant that the squad's order was very good.

Here, Heaven, who had given up on his wanderings, had revived the military soul in him.

Mu Zhen prostrated on the ground. This was the highest form of honor. On Tita Star, the number of people who were accorded such honor could be counted on one hand. And among humans, only Wang Zheng was worthy of such reception.

Chapter 938: Giant Mech

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Zheng rubbed the crown of Mu Zhen's head. This was a blessing, and the giants were even more envious. In their eyes, Wang Zheng was not a human, but the embodiment of a sage, albeit a slightly taller one. The heir of Titan, the savior of Tita Star, and the imparter of marvelous martial arts. All of this was something only an angel could do.

"Mu Zhen, what is your relationship with Mu Sen?" Wang Zheng suddenly asked. Actually, he did not know how Tita people were named.

"The Chairman is my maternal grandfather," Mu Zhen respectfully said.

"Instructor Heaven says your performance is good, and asks me to test your abilities," Wang Zheng said.

Mu Zhen was a little hesitant, as though reluctant to lay a hand on Ada.

Heaven laughed. "Do your best. Have you forgotten who he is?"

Mu Zhen gave a simple smile, scratching his head abashedly. That was true. How could Ada not defeat him?

Heaven clapped his hands to signal a pause in the training. From the moment of Wang Zheng's arrival, everyone had been distracted.

The giants were reverent, and the humans were curious. They did not believe in myths, but it seemed like this young man held a special position on Tita Star. Of course, they wondered what the origin of that was. And Heaven had a reputation here. After all, he was Earth rank.

Wang Zheng looked at Mu Zhen. Mu Zhen was very serious. The moment battle commenced, things like status were put aside. An all-out battle was the giants' approach, and this was a form of respect.

Mu Zhen took a deep breath. An imposing manner, towering like a mountain, exuded from him, and Wang Zheng was taken aback. This comprehension was uncommon. Utilizing the aura was humanity's forte.

Mu Zhen rushed over in large strides, suddenly sweeping out violently with a leg. The giants' physique, combined with this surge of power, unleashed a bone-breaking blow.

Lan Ling had materialized beside Heaven. "He still loves to fool around."

"A leader in battle needs to prove himself. Reputation alone will not do. Wang Zheng needs to display his power in front of everyone. Once the battle begins, I think this will be of crucial importance."

"Why Mu Zhen?"

"Because Mu Zhen is the strongest. In truth, he has the talent of the giants, and also the comprehension of humankind. If groomed well, and sent to see the world, he will do great things!" Heaven said.

"But giants are not necessarily suited to the outside environment."

"There had to be someone who first decided to eat a crab. Life is a test. Let's see what improvements Wang Zheng has made in this period of time."

Heaven smiled. He had basically hit a bottleneck. This could not be helped. Age and experience shackled him, and talent too was an issue. In truth, his talent was considerable for him to have achieved what he had. But seeing Wang Zheng, he felt like the wave was about to sweep him up and crash him on the shore… In fact, it already had once.

Mu Zhen flew about the field, fists and feet combined smoothly. His bold attacks executed connections with finesse. Wang Zheng could feel that this was definitely some awakening, because a majority of the giants could not do it. They were habitually completely offensive, and had no comprehension of subtleties. This could not be helped. After all, their strength was too great. But after regulating it through the martial arts, they had made progress.

Mu Zhen felt confused as well. His punches were clearly aimed square, but they were always off-position and missed by a little. The target sense that he had come to trust deeply had vanished.

BOOM…

Mu Zhen's punch missed. With a roaring sound, Wang Zheng rose up into the air, unleashing a kick mid-air. An opening?

Suddenly, a huge hand slapped out. Wang Zheng was stunned. This guy knew this move as well?

Primordial Regression Technique came forth. With a deep breath, a whip kick slashed out.

BOOM…

Mu Zhen felt a huge wave of energy roil towards him. His whole body was thrown, and his arm went numb.

But this had triggered Mu Zhen's innate giant aggression. In human terms, it was on.

With a turn, he immediately unleashed another kick. The giants had inexhaustible strength. Conviction and perseverance. Combination moves flew out, and the ground shook.

Just as Heaven had said, he indeed had talent. But ultimately, he could not shake off the giants' way of thinking; he used his body more than his brain.

The mech pilot spectators were already shell-shocked. Besides Heaven, this was the first time they had seen a human fight a giant without a mech. He was really crazy.

This boy had talent, but he needed to learn composure.

With a loud bellow, Mu Zhen's fist penetrated through the rock and continued through, an unreserved blow. But Wang Zheng did not lose his footing at all. Such an attack was very dangerous in battle. The body that the giants were so proud of were still flesh when faced with a beam saber.

Wang Zheng extended a hand.

BOOM…

This blow connected square. Mu Zhen felt his prodigious strength fizzle against what felt like a metal board.

The ground shook. Wang Zheng could not help it. This strength was indeed considerable. But Mu Zhen still needed to work on channeling it.

Mu Zhen was about to continue attacking when he suddenly felt a chill come over him, and the ground started to freeze over.

In an instant, his body had rigidified, and his colossal body folded over limply.

Wang Zheng walked in front of Mu Zhen. "The breathing technique I imparted is not to increase your strength, but to help you control it, and resist other forms of attack."

Mu Zhen was in a daze. He began to execute the breathing technique, and the frost on his body began to vanish. He stood up slowly.

"Thank you, Ada, for the instruction."

"Run along. You must be a model for your brothers. During a fight, you must be aware of your team. Use your head. Bravery alone won't work."

"Understood!"

It had to be said that Wang Zheng had no words to express the strength of the giants. Given his current grasp on frost Ability X, being fine in a flash was unbelievable.

Heaven was even more shocked. Frost Ability X was weaker on this planet. Under such conditions, Wang Zheng could still use it to that extent. Could he already have entered Earth rank?

Lan Ling laughed and clapped. "Good moves. You haven't been slacking. Let me bring you to see something nice."

Wang Zheng dusted himself off. "What is this mysterious thing?"

"You'll know when you see it. It's our trump card."

Wang Zheng followed Lan Ling onto the military car, which drove for a while. The destination seemed to be a warehouse, but its height was indeed awe-inspiring.

"What's inside?"

"Your guess?" Lan Ling replied. Although Tita Star was currently in a bad spot, ever since Wang Zheng came, she had smiled more than before, and no longer had nightmares when she slept.

When it was revealed, Wang Zheng was flooded with pleasant surprise. "This…"

"A giant mech, a mecha specially designed for the Tita people. What do you think?" Lan Ling smiled.

Between the two, a cavernous warehouse, and both levels completely filled with huge mecha fighters.

Chapter 939: A Higher Being

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"When did you make it?" Gazing at the huge mech, Wang Zheng was caught completely off guard.

Lan Ling was like a little girl receiving praise. She gave a delighted smile. "You think we're just lazing around all day? An economic development needs a commensurate amount of military backing. It's true that space troops are not easily built up, which is why we focused our energies on this. Currently, we have 100 of these, as a secret weapon. This design was also bought at top dollar."

Of course, this was not OMG's technology. In order to increase the Tita military power, especially the ground forces, Mu Sen and Lan Ling had also done their best. Armor was easy to manufacture, but the battle power was limited. And this giant mech would definitely be a useful tool in ground battles, in unforeseen ways.

Wang Zheng nodded. Looking at it from the overall strategic perspective, they could only delay the opponent in ground battles, and then use their allies' influence to raise protests. The Solar System would definitely raise a clamor, and they could only hope that the Hail Cloud Alliance and the Alliance chairman would follow suit. As for Jasper's side, they would have to depend on their luck. After all, such international plans were completely dependent on the costs and benefits.

But as for Tita Star, first they had to be able to hold off the opponent. This batch of heavy mecha should pack a solid blow against the invaders.

"How are their battle capabilities?" Wang Zheng was very concerned about this. Size was unimportant in battle.

"Ordinary human constitutions cannot operate these mecha. But the giants can wield them with ease. But they're not very suited to complex controls, which is why besides coverage type attacks, the important thing is thick and ample defense, so they can be the point attack. Heaven says that a trained mech giant can demolish an entire special forces squad," Lan Ling said proudly.

But Wang Zheng shook his head slightly. He was no longer a fresh-faced lad. Such mecha were indeed unexpected, but how they fared would eventually depend on the enemy's formation.

"Wang Zheng, we have already made preparations in case of failure. But regardless of outcome, we will fight to the last." Lan Ling's face shone with resolution. This girl, who had once fled from her responsibilities, was maturing. She was learning to shoulder responsibility. Perhaps it was Wang Zheng's arrival that had made her impervious to fear.

In truth, Wang Zheng was no stranger to war, but none of his experiences had been quite like this. His concerns were closely entangled within. In the past, whether attacker or defender, he was not too personally vested.

At this moment, Lan Ling's Skylink rang urgently. An emergency!

Far away on Earth's Beijing, Victorious Return Hotel.

Xiao Fei had recently been worrying about the Tita Star situation as well. Although she was now the military school principal, and had exerted herself on occasion, only when one met with such momentous matters did one truly feel weak and powerless. Besides, her concerns were now elsewhere.

"Oh Fei Fei, don't worry about these things. Girls should be cuter. You must be polite, it's your old classmate, and the startup company has just entered the market. In terms of ability and intellect, he's not bad at all. A worthy object for your consideration."

Beside Xiao Fei was her mother, Lady Yang Qinlin. She had worried her heart sick over her daughter. She was on the web daily, searching for the most eligible bachelor for her illustrious daughter…

Xiao Fei eyed her mother. What a headache. She would rather drown in official announcements than be a puppet to her mother's whims. She was not the eight-year-old little girl waving her sparkler around like a magic wang. Magic was a childish fancy, violations of basic scientific knowledge…

"Dad, please come and control your wife…" Xiao Fei quietly sent her father a plea for help.

"Oh Fei Fei, it's not like you don't know who contributes the most to this family. It's so rare that your mother has let me off today, can't you let me be? How much has Papa fended off for you for all these years? Today, let Papa enjoy his day off. Besides, in terms of finding a husband, I'm behind your mother on this."

Her father's response had been quick as an arrow, only the contents were not what Xiao Fei was hoping to see…

As her parents, they were not at all concerned about international affairs. Their primary care was their daughter's future.

A pity that Wang Zheng was not around to see this scene, or he would know that the witch Xiao Fei also had enemies. Clearly, Xiao Fei's witch-like characteristics were inherited from her mother's real powers, a fabled and legendary strength.

"Stop texting your father. The guest is here already, and you're still on your rump? Stand up! And smile! The cute way that I thought you all these years. Don't you dare say you need me to teach you again. Your only mission this year is to get yourself married off." Yang Qinlin flicked her finger. At the crook of her daughter's finger, she immediately knew what was going on.

Xiao Fei had a sudden urge to run and hide, but at the last moment, she still stood courteously, donning a smile that showed no teeth. Her eyes crinkled and her lip lifted just so. She was the perfect picture of cute.

At this moment, the doors opened, and a handsome young man walked in. He immediately smiled when he saw them, and quickened his pace over. "Aunt, Xiao Fei, I'm sorry I'm late."

A courteous, proper impression.

Yang Qinlin gave an approving nod. "It's us that were early. You're Fei Fei's old classmate, so you should know she's a rebellious shrew. I encourage you to tame her."

"Mom!" Xiao Fei wanted to wail. Who even sold their daughter like this? Was she even her real mother? She wasn't a phone top-up freebie.

"You two chat, I'm off to the salon." Yang Qinlin gave her daughter a warning look. She had better maintain the cute look. What a suitable suitor, was he easy to find? And also an old classmate who knew her.

In truth, Xiao Fei's successes were already enough in her parents' eyes. As a woman, starting a family was her natural job. She need not work so hard. Scientific research could continue after marriage.

After seeing the intimidating Lady Yang leave, Kong Bin smiled and sat down. "Xiao Fei…"

"Save it." After the old woman had left, Xiao Fei reverted from the damsel to the witch.

"Keh, after so many years, won't you give me a chance?" Kong Bin had been infected by Xiao Fei's mood, and was irritated.

From elementary school till high school, the two had been classmates, until Xiao Fei had left Earth for college. It could be said that Kong Bin had started chasing Xiao Fei from middle school. But each time he confessed, he was rejected harshly by Xiao Fei. After being separated for so many years, he had carved his own modest success. His fire for Xiao Fei had rekindled when they met at the last school reunion. This time was different because he had his future mother-in-law's support. But from the way today was going, it seemed hopeless. He lost every battle he fought.

Xiao Fei let her hair down and bunched it up. From a demure girl, she reverted to her queenlike state. The way she held herself was clear that there was no chance to be had.

Kong Bin gave a bitter laugh. "What should I tell Aunt later?"

The moment her mother was mentioned, Xiao Fei winced. Jinxes were jinxes. "You will say that we interacted. And be careful of your tone and expressions, or she will tumble to us. Honestly, I'm not cut out for marriage. Considering the family, looking after the kids, dealing with a husband… Just thinking about it stifles me. You should know me, I'm not suited for that life."

Kong Bin sighed. He knew all this. Only, after receiving Xiao Fei's mother's favor, and being invited to court Xiao Fei, he had held a sliver of hope…

"Will you remain unmarried forever? Have you never met someone to your liking in all these years?" Kong Bin was disbelieving.

Xiao Fei's eyes softened for a moment, but Kong Bin did not catch it. "Just let me say one more thing. If we get married, I won't interfere with your life. You can still continue enjoying your work.���

Xiao Fei gave Kong Bin a half smile. "Oh? And what do you plan to do with Little Star and Little Moon in your treasure house?"

Kong Bin's mouth fell open… Suddenly, the principal of Ares College did not seem so average. It was as though Xiao Fei had prepared beforehand, and was just waiting. Ah, who asked him to be a normal man?

Kong Bin sighed. Just as he was about to explain his Little Star and Little Moon, he suddenly saw someone walk over, and his face straightened up. "That's right, I came over today because of something else as well."

At this point, Kong Bin stood up, and bowed slightly to the person approaching.

Xiao Fei was startled, and turned as she stood up. She saw a friendly old man who was eyeing her enthusiastically. "This is…"

"Xiao Fei, let me introduce you. This is my most important client. He…"

Old Merchant cut Kong Bin off with a wave. Kong Bin immediately backed down. "You're even more than the rumors make you out to be. The real life Professor Xiao Fei is even more beautiful than the magazines."

"Thank you." Xiao Fei's expression as mild. She was not about to soften just because the other person was a peaceable old man. Instead, she was alert and waiting to hear his intent. Clearly, his introduction through Kong Bin was an announcement of his power, and not just because she had made the cover of a magazine.

"Professor Xiao Fei, how do you see the parallel qualities of multi-dimensional space?"

The old man shot a question that would completely tear down all of Xiao Fei's defenses.

Xiao Fei's instincts were alerted. "Who are you?!"

The old man smiled. "I'm here to discuss how the Tita Star situation can be solved."

Chapter 940: X98

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Zheng and Lan Ling rushed over to the command center. It looked like OMG's armament factories had already been turned into a sea of fire.

The enemy had struck.

In space, Jiro Federation and Diweng Alliance had teamed up to fight pirates. With the interstellar route secured, they had started a large scale military demonstration which had locked down the star field. In the demonstration period, all commercial grounds were forbidden from access. Of course, if one decided to force their way out, then all dangers were on one's own shoulders.

Such disputes were not new in the Alliance. But the target this time around was Titatitan Star. Titatitan Star had no protecting country and was not part of any major federation or empire. Besides the human rights groups' protests, there was no other resistance. It was simply a military demonstration, with no other substantiation. Would you not allow them to fight and threaten pirates?

And in truth, the pirates were getting bold recently. It was half fiction, and no matter what, they were well entrenched.

If Tita Star wanted to delay them, then they were making preparations as well.

The space situation had been completely settled. Not just that, the troops' signals were locked down, which prevented Tita Star from having effective communications with the outside world. They were like fish in a net.

"They sent warships to attack?" Lan Ling demanded furiously. The military had no warning at all. How could this have happened?

"Not warships. Look, these are never-before-seen… mecha." Mu Sen's expression was solemn. Clearly he was frustrated.

At this moment, Heaven had rushed over as well. On the big screen, OMG's factories were being destroyed.

A fiery red mecha descended from the skies with terrifying firepower. An inferno Ability X completely overrode Tita Star's defenses. The factories naturally had defenses, and very strong ones at that. But against such super soldiers, they were defenseless. Normal mecha against super mecha… Before an Earth rank pro with a super mech, they were all food.

The resistance lasted a mere 10 minutes. The armament factory burned, punctuated by explosions. The red super mech fighter left unhurriedly, as though wandering through its own back garden.

"Any response from Jiro's side?" Lan Ling asked.

Mu Sen shook his head. "They won't respond. They're just waiting for our groveling response now. If we do not accede, such things will continue to happen."

Mu Sen knew that humans were strong, but had not anticipated it to this level. Lan Ling's face was ashen as well. She had just bragged of their heavy mecha to Wang Zheng, but clearly the giant mecha were still within normal levels, and nothing compared to super soldiers. They still could not deal with them.

If they continued to let these super soldiers run rampant, Tita Star would be finished before the war even began.

They all looked towards Heaven. In such matters, Heaven was definitely better than everybody else.

Heaven frowned and brooded.

"Heaven, do you recognize the mech? Which country's is it? Jiro Federation and Diweng Alliance cannot possibly have a mech with such technology. Could Aslan be intervening directly?" Lan Ling asked.

If Aslan had really taken a hand directly, then regardless of the result, Tita Star was finished. The difference in power was overwhelming.

"Not Aslan Empire. Wang Zheng, do you find it familiar?"

"Looks like a runic mech." Wang Zheng nodded.

"Close, but not the mech that Elite Academy X researched. Aslan is leading this field. Of course, Arbiter and other countries are also researching it. These mechas are not that classified. There is a small black market, with astronomical prices. They're almost warships."

"You mean these mecha are leaking from these countries? Aren't they afraid of replicas?"

Heaven shook his head. "As far as I know, it can't be replicated. And sometimes, when the Underworld receives some big mission, we can raise some requests. If I'm not wrong, this person should be the Fire Falcon, X98."

They were startled. X98?

Wang Zheng sighed heavily. "A top 100 on the Ability X leaderboards."

Heaven nodded. The Ability X leaderboards did not care about right or wrong. Although this ability was not absolute, it was a good reference.

"Heaven, what's your ranking? Can you beat him?" Lan Ling asked.

Heaven gave a bitter laugh. This was serious. "My peak was 185. And now, after lying low for so long, I must have fallen to about 1,000. Besides, without a similar class of mech, there's no chance of victory at all."

Regardless whether it was Jiro, Diweng, or someone else that had requested it, everyone felt the gravity of the situation.

Yan Xiaosu was about to explode. "This shameless bunch! Aren't they afraid that the Alliance will find out?"

Lan Ling shook her head with frustration. "As long as they're not directly involved, then this means nothing. It's a trick everyone knows. It's an invasion."

Yan Xiaosu held his breath, then eventually let it out. The battle power of that Fire Falcon had been clear for all to see. The mecha and armor that they had spent so long preparing were like toys in front of this guy.

For OMG to overtake those truly strong countries overnight was merely an idiot's fantasy. This was not practical. It could be said that the Wind God and the Storm Swordsman were very unique, average mecha, but they were not super mecha. Humanity's battles had already advanced to specialized, super battles. Infantry were merely there to clean up the field. Many times, the super battle alone would determine victory.

At this moment, another emergency message arrived. Another super mech had appeared in Qiushui City's airspace.

Qiushui City was a new city built in collaboration between humans and the Tita people. It had taken huge efforts on the part of Mu Sen, Lan Ling, and the rest. Yan Xiaosu and his team had invested large amounts as well.

Now, all they saw was fire and blood. An azure blue mech flew out of the sky. The snipers all missed, and it very quickly vanished into the skies.

All that was left were wails, and the deep breathing of everyone in the great hall.

This was a direct warning!

If they refused to surrender, refused to bend the knee, then what awaited Tita Star was an even larger scale offense.

Special forces skirmishes were meant to create terror, paying the smallest price for the greatest effect.

Mu Sen was really at a loss. As the Elder, he was long lived. But after taking on the responsibility of Chairman, he felt his lifespan shorten rapidly. His white hairs had increased, and this was not normal for the Tita people.

Surrender?

As a Tita person, this was impossible. They would die before becoming slaves.

If God wanted Tita to perish, then perishing meant a rebirth!

Mu Sen looked at Wang Zheng, whose expression was serene. "I came this time with a runic mech. If it's just one, I can deal with it!"

Heaven was overjoyed. "If that's the case, I can suppress the other one… How did Elite Academy X allow you to bring that out?"

Chapter 941: Under Considerable Pressure

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Zheng did not know how to express his gratitude towards Butcher now. If he had not brought it, then only death awaited him. As a fighter, he was not afraid of death, but if he was not even given the chance to fight, that would be a tragedy.

"Lan Ling, you must increase the defensive detection radius, and alert me as soon as possible!"

"Rest assured of that!"

"Heaven, is your mech alright?"

Heaven smiled slightly. "I don't have a runic mech, but Atlantis' Phantom King can still hold its own for a while. Don't worry. I understand the Underworld's rules. I have my ways to hold off the Fire Falcon. And I have a bit of history with him."

"Elder Mu Sen, Lan Ling, leave the super soldier problem to us. Please do your best to marshal the troops. If the super soldier plan fails, the next step will be a direct invasion."

On the Zeus Shield warship.

Fire Falcon Facaul and Blue Demon Hannibal had already bathed and were sprawled comfortably on the sofas.

"Feels good to work this way. Fire Falcon, you're holding back too much. This is a rare chance, you should kill to your heart's content." Blue Demon sniggered. He would not hold back. The feeling of killing giants was cool. Seeing the huge chunks of flesh burst, it was like smashing watermelons when he was a child.

Facaul smiled thinly. "Don't fret. The Tita people won't surrender so easily. This mission is interesting."

"I hope they can hold out. I'm looking forward to seeing what their Titans are capable of. They're said to have some mystical powers. When I collect their skulls as a trophy, I might be able to sell it to those eccentric millionaires, haha."

Blue Demon guffawed. These half-mercenary types walked the line between black and white. They loved these types of indigenous fights, with others to clean up the mess while the pay was equally good.

"Where's your next target?"

"Lan Kao city, I guess. There's an old friend there, and we can meet."

"Hehe, I'm off to smash watermelons. Very big watermelons. Haha."

When two Earth rank fighters were paired with world-class mecha, the battle power and aggression was deadly.

Diweng and Jiro were still noisily conducting their rehearsals. Their acting was superb. One would be embarrassed not to give them an Oscar.

External pressure and internal attacks. Not many countries could hold out against this. Accomplishing this task would bring great gains for both countries. Their sponsor in the shadows would definitely be overjoyed. The only one on the short end of the stick was Tita.

Once the news got out, Ye Zisu immediately knew something was wrong. The military rehearsal notification had been delayed, and Ye Bingwen knew that he must speak out this time.

In this period of time, Ye Bingwen had indeed grown a reputation. But when he spoke out, the Solar System Federation's response was lukewarm.

He was just a council member, and even the Solar System Federation council chairman was only in service to the Solar System. Nobody could place above the council, this was one of the "Great Principles" of humanity. Clearly, Ye Bingwen's calls at this time would not bring too much benefit to the Solar System. Besides, all he could do was holler, but the Solar System council would not silence him. Someone needed to raise the issue – after all, their relationship with Tita Star was not bad. If they immediately turned tail, that would be too cowardly. The Solar System's response would sway with the breeze. First, Tita Star had to hold out. If they could not, then nothing else mattered.

The Solar System wanted to improve their international standing. But they had to see who the opponent was. This matter was not entirely bureaucratic. Combined national power determined the right to speak. Speaking out brainlessly and being punished for it was not just individuals, countries were the same.

Ye Zisu was also at her wit��s end. But suddenly, she received a call from Xiao Fei. And what Xiao Fei told her was completely unexpected.

"Hail Cloud Alliance and Lya Sphinx will exchange the box schematics for their stance on this matter," Xiao Fei said.

In the Alliance, there had to be a superpower to stand out. Moving the box was unquestionably the key to OMG's rise. But if Tita Star was gone, there would be no future. Most crucially, the one person these two were concerned about was also there.

"That's no problem. I'll immediately contact Ai Xiaolu and Jasper!"

For the two superpowers to act, it was not just about raising protests, but also the bargaining chip. Just the Ai Financial group alone was ineffective. Benefits were central. This was clearly not about the problem about the box profits, but the technology!

With the box's technology, that was a bargaining chip. It was a gesture of great sincerity.

Xiao Fei's words had shaken Ye Zisu awake. A teacher was always a teacher. In crucial times, they always grasped the heart of the issue.

Xiao Fei, after clicking off, leaned back on the chair. Things were becoming more complicated. The Alliance was always like this, but that was expected of humans. Oh Wang Zheng, could he survive this stage?

In some ways, Xiao Fei exuded an impressive military aura, and was composed and charismatic. Ye Bingwen had raised the issue early. Under such circumstances, it would be ineffective, but it would lay the groundwork. But Xiao Fei could understand where Ye Bingwen was coming from. His sacrifice was the greatest. Someone had to be cannon fodder. Ye Bingwen did not have a low EQ. On the contrary, it was too high.

Tita Star was weathering the storm, and the international arena was equally chaotic.

Aslan Empire. The events on the far away Tita star, in Kashawen's eyes… meant nothing.

Conquering the empire, conquering the world. This was a chess game, and Tita Star was merely a pawn. There were too many things she had to monitor and manage. Many of them were purely routine. The Tita agenda had already reached the execution phase. If it went well, half a month would see it over. If delayed, a month would do it. The energy source was the heart of the battle – the super-gravity energy mine had to be secured.

An empire's greatness was not built on goodwill.

In politics, a good person was a dead person.

She understood this from the tender age of 10. A pity that the political nurturing ended with her generation. Huiyin was completely oblivious, and Aina was like her. For Aslan's greatness and longevity, there was nothing she would not sacrifice, even her daughter.

Of course, this was determination. Kashawen had handled small matters like Tita Star countless times before. It was not even worth consideration – they could be finished off at any time.

In these years, countless people, both young and old, had strutted proudly in front of her. They were all gone now.

The Earthlings liked to use a phrase: Not knowing one's strength!

"Highness, the princess… requests an attendance," Angela's Skylink said.

Kashawen smiled slightly. "Angela, I'm happy that you are loyal to the princess. But you must know that you are first and foremost an Aslan person. You can be disloyal to me, but you must always be true to the Aslan Empire!"

Angela said no more. She knew what to do. Kashawen was Kashawen. One utterance compelled her to do what she had to do.

This was the greatest female prime minister in the history of Aslan.

Only, in the brilliance of such greatness, should all the lower creatures just die?

Chapter 942: Slayer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The appearance of the super soldiers had caused martial law to be imposed. The Tita giants waited solemnly, but in comparison to the Tita people's tense atmosphere, the space side was much more relaxed. This was a resistance that was completely on an inferior level.

Against a bunch of barbarians, it was almost too easy.

The citizens of the various cities were indeed in a panic. Humans were not as simple-minded as Tita people. They were enraged at this blatant invasion. To the majority of them, Tita Star was already their homeland. If Tita Star became a mining planet, they could already see what the future would hold. It was not desirable. But such pent up rage had no avenue for release.

Humans had a choice, but at this time, the humans on Tita did not want to make it. They were more willing to stand up compared to the Tita people. Although martial law had been imposed, the human guerillas had started to roam the streets, demanding the chairman to petition the Alliance, and put a stop to these pirate ways!

Lan Ling, faced with such guerilla demonstrations, could only ask the police to be more alert. She could not denounce these people, but given the current situation, it was useless, and could be very dangerous.

But the news of Qiushui City had spread. The super soldiers' cruel slaying had roused the citizens' anger, the humans even more so than the Tita people. To the Tita people, if they were weaker, they were weaker. Death was just a result. But the humans were different. They had seen the Tita people's precautions, and felt their hospitality. They loved this planet, and all of it. But their kind was now about to destroy everything. They were not military people, and would use their voices to express their will.

The guerilla demonstrations grew intense, and quickly spread to the various major human cities in Tita.

As for such actions, Mu Sen was very touched. Actually… he had thought the humans would run because they had a way out. They could have chosen to throw in with the stronger side, or leave this place, while the Tita people did not have that option. But now, these people who had once resented them were on their side of the warfront.

"Lan Ling, we should break up the guerillas," Mu Sen said.

Lan Ling laughed bitterly. "We're doing our best, but to little effect. Perhaps this is a good thing. They can see our determination. I don't believe that they will dare to lift a hand against us."

By international conventions, even a real conflict had to avoid civilian facilities and citizens, especially human ones. Perhaps the Tita people were not truly of the same kind, which was why the super soldier had been so daring. But if the same thing happened on humans, that was an entirely different matter.

But this time, Lan Ling was wrong.

Two super soldiers appeared, and fired at the guerilla crowd.

The two super soldiers were equipped with all kinds of energy weapons. Hannibal loved the pew pew shooting feeling. It felt good.

"Haha, Fire Falcon, I thought humans were a little smarter. This bunch of trash has spent too long with the potatoes, their brains are rotten!"

Hannibal in the Blue Demon made a wide sweep, scything down a group of people. He threw down a square box.

Tick tick tick… BOOM…

All was chaos, and the Blue Demon mech rose into the air. "Hahaha, pain is sublime. Little bastards, satisfied now?"

Canyon City was in disarray. The mecha appeared, but Blue Demon rose in the air, and laughed at the mech fighters below. Normal bullet attacks were useless against a super mech. Even without energy shields, their defenses were not penetrable.

A complete technological outclass.

To Hannibal, he was not avoiding the battle. Rather, he was waiting for more of them to accumulate, to feel even higher. A bunch of small fry with such paltry defenses was barely worth him raising a hand. To think that such a dilapidated planet actually had a priceless super-gravity energy mine, that was just senseless. If they had any brains at all, they would have sought a protector.

The Blue Demon swooped down, titanium blade in hand. A super soldier did not only depend on the mecha. The Blue Demon smiled coldly, the titanium blade swinging.

The ground was covered in a thick layer of ice. The mecha were completely immobilized. On Tita Star, the instability of energy caused energy weapons and energy shields to be heavily affected. But to super-soldiers, this was completely not an issue. Instead, it stimulated them.

Ability X blasted out.

This was Earth rank level. The so-called limitations meant nothing to him. But to these fighters, it was fatal.

Suddenly, with the detested energy shields removed, the killing proceeded smoothly.

BOOM! RUMBLE…

Canyon City's clocktower had been shot down. The guerilla crowds had finally fled, reduced to helpless wails.

The Blue Demon rested on top of a tall building. Hannibal could not resist letting out a mad whoop. He loved this feeling. These weaklings were like ants beneath his feet. A pity that the resistance was too weak, and not at all euphoric.

But compared to killing people, he enjoyed killing giants more. The head explosions felt awesome.

Shrapnel was his preferred weapon. When it flew out, the little bullets exploded like needles, and scattered as beautifully as a fairy scattering flowers.

Hannibal took aim at a building because many people were clearly hiding inside. Tsk tsk, what a stupid choice.

Shing…

BOOM…

A hole was blasted in the construction, and the people hiding inside rushed out. And Hannibal happily hooted. A huge stone fell from the skies, falling towards a little child. But the small boy was petrified, watching the huge stone bear down on him. His mother rushed desperately over, but it was too late.

BOOM…

A body shielded the upper half of the little boy. But in an instant, its back was reduced to pulp. It was a Tita giant.

The giant straightened up and lifted the stone, hurling it at the Blue Demon.

Hannibal laughingly shattered it with a fist. He hated such scenes. Damn, he hated it when others acted cool… Seemed like his head was too big.

The sniper rifle aimed…

What was this???

A black mech had appeared in his vision. And it closed in on him with speed.

BOOM…

Wang Zheng's Conqueror had arrived. He lashed out with a leg and sent the Blue Demon flying. But Wang Zheng knew that the kick had not connected well, and merely scratched a scar. The Blue Demon had already regained its balance.

Two super fighters had met.

Hannibal licked his lips. D*mn, to think he would find such a thing in this broken down place.

Runic mech!

In the market presently, there were three major types of super mecha. Aslan's Lord God series, Arbiter's Ghost World series, and Elite Academy X's new runic series. This was clearly from Elite Academy X. But these were rare on the black market. How did such a thing appear on Tita Star?

But whatever the case, it seemed like he had finally met a decent opponent. Shing…

The Blue Demon made its move. The Blue Demon belonged to Aslan's Lord God series. This was a water god!

It brought out water affinity Ability X users' full potential.

Wang Zheng did not avoid it. It was difficult in such a situation, at any rate. The Conqueror met the attack with a titanium blade.

BOOM…

At that moment, Lan Kao City was also hosting an unwelcome guest. Who had already reached the Chairman. But this situation as not as violent as at Canyon City.

The Fire Falcon almost seemed to be visiting, although this was a malevolent guest. He completely ignored all the giants and mech fighters surrounding him.

"Call Mu Sen out. Let me talk to him," the Fire Falcon said calmly.

The giants could not hold it in anymore. Rara Durai was not around. He needed to lead the troops. This was the last line of defense, and also the last hope of the Tita people. And Rara Durai's biggest use was on the battlefield, and not fighting it out with these super soldiers. Lan Kao Ctiy's defenses had to be left to Heaven, and Heaven was currently piloting the Phantom King.

Heaven stopped the impetuous giants. He was very clear that attacking was useless in this situation. This was Aslan's Lord God series' Fire God. It had terrifying attack power. With OMG's armaments, it would not mean a thing against X98's Fire Falcon.

"Back down. Fire Falcon, I can bring you to see Mu Sen, but you must promise me not to harm the Chairman," Heaven said.

Facaul smiled. "Brother, long time no see. Is this the place you have chosen to temporarily nurse your wounds?"

Facaul's tone was warm, as though speaking with an old friend.

Heaven was silent for a while. "Fire Falcon, I've already left K behind. This is my home now."

"Home, haha. Who cares if your home is K, or hell. You were always too sensitive and worrying, which is why I let you rest for a while. This is the perfect time. Settle this affair with me, and you will have a share of it as well."

"Fire Falcon, I'm tired. I don't want to be a killer anymore. I have a wife, and I will have kids. It will be all I fight for from now on," Heaven said.

Facaul was taken aback. He brooded for a while. "Ask Mu Sen to come out."

At this moment, Mu Sen appeared on the balcony of the presidential palace. "I am Mu Sen. What does your master bid you say?"

Facaul smiled. "You mean those two broken down federations? They wouldn't dare assume the position. But we do fight for money. Given your military power, the two of us alone can make you suffer endlessly. For Heaven's sake, if you agree to all of the conditions, I'll let the Tita people live."

Mu Sen smiled. "If you want Tita Star, you have to cleanse the Tita people from this planet. As you humans say: we're not scared of death, so why is that your threat!"

"Keke, you are too naïve. We humans have another phrase, that the ignorant have no fear. You clearly have never seen hell before. I won't kill you – you're still useful. But everyone here today will die," Facaul said.

"Fire Falcon, must you do this?" Phantom King suddenly floated up. The Phantom King had the capability to deal with this, but the toll would be huge, and to Heaven as well.

"Brother, you know well that I'm not in charge of judgment. I'm just the manager. Will you still persist in your wrongs?"

"Then kill me first." The Phantom King unsheathed its titanium blade.

Facaul smiled slightly. "Very well. I brought you in back then. I will finish what I started. Let me send you on your way."

The Fire Falcon attacked!

Chapter 943: Heaven's Answer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heaven was concentrating fully. He was very clear about the distance between them. Even at his peak, he was not Facaul's match, and now the disparity between their mecha exacerbated that. What he needed to do now was create a window. That was his only chance at survival.

BOOM…

The Phantom King was a signature mech of Atlantis. Lan Ling and the rest had spent a huge sum of money to import it from Atlantis, expressly for Heaven to use. Against an Earth rank expert, if he did not have a super mech, then the Atlantis mech's capabilities were at least a consolation. But this was against normal opponents, not the Fire Falcon facing him now.

The two mecha clashed hotly. In mid-air, they fought like wildfire. The mecha and giants thronging around were riveted. The Fire Falcon was fighting with pleasure, completely unbothered by the surrounding enemies. The Fire Falcon unhesitatingly repressed the Phantom King.

Given Heaven's ability, if he wanted to finish him off without any injury, he had to be careful. Any Earth rank pro's counter was fairly terrifying.

Heaven also knew his opponent's calculations, which is why he did not dare to go all out. He carefully played for time. Only that way could he find an opportunity.

But the Fire Falcon had too much experience. "Heaven, do you think the eight snipers you hid in the corner have an effect? When did Assassin Heaven of the underworld become so pathetic? Look at your moments, there is not even a shred of killer instinct!"

SHING…

The Fire Falcon made his move, the titanium blade cleaving at the Phantom King, connecting squarely. Heaven used all his strength to fend it off, but still felt an enormous force rush at him. The Phantom King was sent flying, and the super mech immediately closed. In terms of speed, the super mech was just that little bit faster, and this little advantage at this skill level was a fatal distance.

The second blade closed in!

BOOM… BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

The Fire Falcon's every cut cleaved on Heaven's titanium blade, unleashing overwhelming pressure. Heaven's troops knew that their revered instructor was being beaten helplessly, and wanted to interfere. But there was no order, and all they could do was wait.

Lan Ling and Yan Xiaosu's palms were sweating. Neither knew if things were going according to plan, but Heaven had said to listen only to his command.

Heaven was not confident. He knew that once the skirmish started, he would have no chance at all. Surrounding a super soldier with numbers, save cutting his escape, was a suicidal move. Especially when the opponent was an assassin.

Facaul was very clear as to Heaven's train of thought. But similarly, he was different from Blue Demon. Killing was just a means to earn money. Their mission was to conquer the Tita people. Killing Heaven would completely undermine their confidence, and perhaps give Mu Sen a very good prod.

BOOM…

The Phantom King wanted to split, but before the splitting had completely taken effect, fire shot out, and the titanium blade cut down.

The Phantom King was sent flying, crashing against a building, which suddenly collapsed. The Fire Falcon floated easily in mid-air, whirling the titanium blade in hand.

The Phantom King flew out, and it was clearly heavily weakened. The Fire Falcon laughed. "My abilities completely trump yours. Heaven, I will give you one last chance."

His inferno ability could completely incinerate everything. A wood affinity ability would not only be ineffective against him, but instead amplify his strength. Including Heaven's savage Wood Poison ability. It would be completely burned. This was an innate advantage.

At the Earth rank, affinity effectiveness was even more amplified. That was why Facaul had nurtured Heaven. No matter how strong this person got, he would not pose a threat. But this punk showed no promise. He was so pathetic. He had not managed to settle a paltry matter like Tita Star, and was engrossed in children and love. This world had no place for such things.

In the Phantom King, Heaven laughed bitterly. On one point, Facaul was correct. He had become weak. Without an environment of danger, he had lost his killing edge. Immersed in his current life, his fighting ability had declined, even if he had not slackened in training.

The titanium blade swept out. "If you want to kill an Earth rank fighter, even you will pay a price!"

Facaul laughed. "Are you still threatening me at a time like this? If it were a super mech in your hands, I would indeed have to pay a price. But it's just a mere Phantom King. What can you do?"

SHING…

the Fire Falcon was coated in a layer of flames. It was not as glorious as Hocatolin's, but the stench of death emanated from it. The more expert one was, the more one could use one's Ability X appropriately.

Heaven's Ability X emerged in full power. He had no ground to run in this battle. He could only fight to the death.

A surging hurricane enveloped the Phantom King, and Facaul smiled with a glimmer of disappointment. This sort of struggle was like a kindergarten child. Strength only grew from spilling blood.

The Phantom King, shrouded in the raging hurricane, rushed the Fire Falcon. Heaven had no expectation that the sniper would succeed, but the shot tried to create a chance.

The Fire Falcon mech suddenly disappeared, and the sniper shot flew wide. In that instant, he appeared behind the Phantom King. "You're as naïve as ever!"

The titanium blade cleaved down. A direct hit.

But it felt… wrong. Heaven had intended for this!

The strong hurricane closed the Fire Falcon tightly, and the Phantom King locked on to the Fire Falcon.

The hurricane had trapped the super mech, but could not exact fatal damage.

Facaul's flames were burning and permeating through. "Heaven, give it up. I will let you live, on account of our past friendship."

If his words before had held a glimmer of truth, these were nothing but a lie. From the start, Heaven had known the game was up. He was only too clear of his opponent's ability.

The only way was to die together. He had installed a little thing on the Phantom King. It could trigger the power source in the Phantom King's nucleus.

"Lan Ling, I leave my wife and children in your hands."

Heaven's voice was serene. He need not leave any strength now. The hurricane lifted the two mecha high into the air.

Time seemed to stop. Heaven, who had never been afraid of death, felt a pang of longing. Take it as his atonement for his past sins. In that instant, Heaven smiled beatifically.

"You scum!" Facaul was really angry now. To think an assassin would actually sacrifice himself for someone else. This was something he would never have dreamed off. This was madness. His flames burst forth, but it was too late.

BOOM! RUMBLE…

Although the explosion was in the air, everyone was still sent reeling. Enormous shockwaves of energy exploded in midair.

On Tita Star, one could not use energy shields. It was definitely a dangerous thing. If the super mech's energy shields were up, then the explosion would not have had much of an effect. But without the protection of energy shields, even a super soldier would die!

The giants' eyes were filled with honor and equanimity. They saw this as a brave deed, but Lan Ling was extremely upset. Heaven's wife was her friend, and she had introduced them. Now, she had to break this cruel news to her.

Chapter 944: Falling Short

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as some heaved a sigh of relief, a fire red mech emerged, trailing flames.

Facaul cast his gaze about furiously. Heaven had been his protégé. He could die, but he could not stand such a traitorous soul. To die for someone, even though he was an assassin!

This was a disgrace to their profession!

This bunch of bastards in front of him were responsible. This did not just reflect badly on Heaven, but also on him. If word got out, he would become a laughing stock.

Kill them all!

The Phantom King's explosive power was very strong, but the problem was that Facaul was no ordinary human. Any super soldier had the ability to preserve their own life. As a specialist in the fire affinity, Facaul's powers of control were much stronger than Hocatolin's. And the Fire Wave shield had blocked a considerable portion of the explosive power.

Everyone was aghast. The mecha on the ground immediately took aim at Fire Falcon, and the giants had raised their own spears as well. They wished they could stick one through him.

Looking at this bunch of wretched ants, Facaul's killing lust rose. Just as he was about to make his move, a red alarm rang out. D*mn, that blast had damaged his mech. Facaul dared not tarry.

Wheeling his mech, he flew away. Let them live a while longer. Their lives hung on a thread anyway.

All they had fired were blanks.

Looking at the retreating figure, Mu Sen's expression did not relax at all. At his age and wisdom, he would not grieve at deaths. He did not have the time either. What he needed to do was think of how to deal with the situation. When this guy rolled up again, without Heaven, what would they have to fend him off?

Tita Star's fighting power was decent, but they lacked the highest tier of fighters.

The only one who could stop him was Rara Durai now. But if Rara Durai died, then Tita was finished.

The Titans were unafraid of ground battles. But against these mecha with superb flying capabilities, they were helpless.

And OMG's flaws were exposed now. Their technology was insufficient. It was not that they could not produce it, but in terms of capabilities, it simply could not reach the strong defensive benchmark.

On Wang Zheng's side, it was a close fight. Although the mecha were different types, their capabilities were almost the same. The Blue Demon's ice ability matched Wang Zheng's as well. Wang Zheng's understanding of Frost was already fairly strong. Complemented with his physical abilities, the battle looked fifty-fifty.

And Hannibal was shocked. He had no idea where this guy had emerged from, to be able to fight evenly with him. It was like seeing a ghost.

The two of them fought from the skies to the earth. Some of the fearless giants had actually thronged around. Hannibal was fighting enthusiastically as well. The mech he was facing was interesting. The feeling he was getting was that it was a student of Elite Academy X, but this level of ability definitely belonged to one of the greats. Just as Hannibal was prepared to go all out with Wang Zheng, he heard Fire Falcon's call.

He was hurt?

The titanium blade slapped Wang Zheng aside. With a smooth blast off, he drew the distance apart, and flew off into the distance.

Wang Zheng dodged the attack, and had no way to pursue the retreating figure. Heaven was dead…

Riding the Conqueror back to the presidential palace, the great hall was in a somber mood. The Tita fighters were less affected, but the human fighters were depressed. When compared to Heaven, they were now even more aware of the power of the enemy they faced.

That was the top human soldier. Fighting with them was suicidal. Normal bullets dealt limited damage to super soldiers. Cleaving them? Only if they let you.

This was the doubly crushing combination of ability and technology.

When they saw Wang Zheng, their eyes gained a bit of life. Wang Zheng's runic mech was their only hope to resist the enemy. But that was just resistance.

There was no advantage. And who knew if there were more super soldiers. The possibility was there. If these countries could find these two, then they definitely could find more.

The test of strength was just the first round, and Tita Star was already barely holding on.

Heaven's corpse had disappeared, smokily dissipating with the Phantom King. This former enemy had actually given his life to protect Tita Star. Perhaps Heaven was not at all concerned with Tita Star, and was not that noble. He had fought for the sake of his kin, his wife, and his soon-to-be-born child.

But his sacrifice had bought them but a little time. What now?

"Perhaps we should change tack." Mu Sen sighed. "We Tita people will not be conquered, even if we are eradicated. But there is no need for you to suffer the same. Perhaps you could live on for the planet."

After all, they were also humans. Mu Sen felt that there was no need for more people to go down with the ship. The Tita people would never let such a thing happen. Perhaps in the near future, the Tita people would vanish in the long river of history, but they would leave a mark of bravery, no matter how tragic.

"Elder Mu Sen, we will die with you!" Lan Ling said resolutely. Humans were even crueler to their own kind. Perhaps she had some way out, but if she took it, life would be meaningless.

Yan Xiaosu was frustrated. He had never thought things would turn out this way. Things had been proceeding smoothly. They were on the way to conquering the galaxy, but suddenly things had become this way.

Yan Xiaosu was no fighter. He did not know what to do besides look to Wang Zheng. Tyrant Su's greatest belief was in Wang Zheng's fighting power. In his eyes, there was virtually nothing that Wang Zheng could not do. But this time around, Wang Zheng had not taken down that super soldier.

Lan Ling and Mu Sen could not read Wang Zheng's expression.

"Did Heaven leave any message?" Wang Zheng asked.

Lan Ling gritted her teeth, her eyes red. At this moment, she felt all of her feminine fragility. "He asked me to look after his wife and child."

Wang Zheng nodded. "Elder Mu Sen, in the near future, Tita might become even more chaotic. Please get all the citizens and normal Tita people to hide as best as they can, until the war is over. Especially the Tita people's curiosity – bravery is a good thing, but sometimes needless courage can bring about needless sacrifices. I don't want to win the battle but come back only to the dead."

Mu Sen nodded. "I'll get Rara Durai to give the Titan's order. Will we fight the final battle?"

Wang Zheng shook his head. "The decision to fight a final battle does not lie with us. Once there is news of the super soldiers, inform me immediately. I'm going to rest."

Having said that, Wang Zheng left, and Yan Xiaosu and the rest stood gazing blankly at Wang Zheng.

"Xiaosu, what is Wang Zheng planning?"

Amongst them, Yan Xiaosu understood Wang Zheng best. But in this moment, Yan Xiaosu had no clue.

Returning to his room, Wang Zheng leaned on the door. He had just been laughing and chatting with Heaven yesterday, seeing his smile and hearing his thankfulness. And today, not even his corpse remained.

He was clear that, in that moment, Heaven must have yearned to stay.

He did not have enough killing power.

This was a battle. He had to enter battle mode. Each battle was a matter of life and death.

In the room, Wang Zheng's pupils were lined with red. There was no way back. No miracle. No external help. Just a fight to the death.

He would eke out petty survival, or be reborn in a sea of blood!

Chapter 945: Battle of Ability X

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heaven's sacrifice had been worthy. Fire Falcon's super mech had sustained considerable damage. Of course, Fire Falcon was not unable to fight, only he was not a brave of the nation, but a mercenary. He was here to earn money, not to give his life. If he fought, his mech had to be in good condition. At the same time, he could also raise a request. After all, the opponent was not weak, and there were two Earth rank pros. This was something they had not anticipated at the start.

One was dead, the other still undamaged. And wielding a runic mech from Elite Academy X.

The super mech was still in maintenance. The country in the shadows was supporting it, and it would be done in two days' time. Blue Demon wanted to go against the runic mech that had stood in his way. The opponent's Ability X level was good, but not at his level. And his interest was piqued. If he could kill this person, not only would he elevate his ability, but also his reputation. Reputation meant asking price, which meant more deterrence.

Heaven was dead. Fire Falcon's ranking could probably go up a notch. If Heaven had been using a super mech, the effect would have been better.

Although they had faced some minor setbacks, Facaul and Hannibal were still in a good mood, chatting easily and awaiting the next order.

Heaven's death had bought precious time for Tita Star. At this stage, Mu Sen and Lan Ling understood that the opponent had already set their mind on destroying Tita's might. The Titan order had been given. All the non-fighting Tita people would hide in the deep caves, and await the conclusion of the battle. And the Tita fighters started to congregate at the Nomiya region.

The Tita people had abandoned the cities. The opponent had destroyed the two cities needlessly. No matter who won, cities were still essential. Rather than destroy the core of the homeland, why not choose a suitable terrain to fight a deciding battle against the invaders?

Urbanization levels became zero.

The Allied army commanding officer, Mu Lei, felt regretful. This was an unequal battle. They should definitely win. As military, he longed for battle, and was not opposed to the existence of the super soldiers. But this was politics, and he had to comply. Clearly, the council had lost all interest in the Tita people. Aboriginals were always resistant to the times. Within a week, they would have had thoroughly eradicated life on Tita Star. Of course, the cities and some of the aboriginal labor should be preserved. After all, the ultimate goal of this invasion was development.

Mu Lei could not care less about that super-gravity energy ore. That was the concern of the force allocators. He hankered to leave his own mark in this battle. He could not let the two super soldiers take all the glory. But the way things were shaping up, Tita Star could not hold. His command was just a matter of formality, and held little interest.

"Report, General!"

Mu Lei looked coldly at the colonel. "What is it?"

"Blue Demon requests to attack alone. He hopes for your favor on this, and he will remember your goodwill."

"Oh?" Mu Lei took a deep pull on his cigar and blew a white cloud of smoke. A glimmer of good humor was on his lips. "Let him go, then. He may take it as an order."

"Yes, Sir!"

The colonel snapped to a respectful salute and left.

This battle was filled with desires and ambition, even for the super soldiers. To Blue Demon, finishing off a runic mech-wielding super soldier would greatly aid in his rise. But if it died in the chaos of battle, then it would not affect him. And it might be snatched away by Fire Falcon.

But this matter could not be raised directly by Hannibal. Mu Lei naturally understood his intention. It has to be said that the utility of super soldiers was increasing every day.

After Titatitan Star had been sealed off, the international clamor had been vigorous. But out of the various major federations, there was no big stir, besides a Solar System council member's protests. This was first and foremost a regional dispute, and they had no position to interfere. Their words were merely hot air. And the superpowers were watching out for their own interests.

Luckily, Xiao Fei had alerted them, and Ye Zisu hurried to notify Ai Xiaolu. The two had secured cooperation by moving the box. Sharing this technology meant a lot to some countries. Ai Financial Group, because of Wang Zheng's situation, had already taken a position. With this additional bargaining chip, there was ample reason to take action.

Ai Xiaolu already had confirmed news on her end. The Hail Cloud Alliance would intervene. Besides, another Alliance ally, Lya Sphinx, had also decided to take a hand. In such matters, one country alone was insufficient. Two major countries declaring support at the same time – and three, if Ye Zisu could galvanize the Solar System Federation – then three of the 10 governing countries would be in support. The situation would clearly shift.

However, the disclaimer was that Tita Star could survive the first attack. If they could not bring the allied troops to a stalemate, then this was all for naught. The Hail Cloud Alliance and Lya Sphinx could not send troops to support the battle.

Also, no matter what the end result, the box technology had to be shared.

On this matter, Ai Xiaolu did not mind in the slightest. The agreement had been decided based on the two countries' abilities and urgency. And realistically, if Ai Financial Group had not intervened, then even if Earth was willing to offer these conditions, the other party might still not accept.

A complete mobilization. This was part of growing up.

Ai Xiaolu's EQ was relatively high. She was good at controlling her emotions. Even if she admired, and even liked Wang Zheng a little, she could logically quell this feeling and think far ahead. But now that things had come to this point, she felt that Wang Zheng's chances of success were 30% at best.

The rise of any new power would meet enormous counter attacks. Let alone a planet.

But danger and opportunity came hand in hand. That was Ai Xiaolu's world. She wanted to see how capable Wang Zheng truly was!

On what basis did the Tita people accord an ordinary human such great reverence?

Elite Academy X was completely unaffected by the Tita Star situation. The Greatest King competition had started again, and the most interested were the few major military schools from Earth. It was rare that their existences manifested. The students could not help but pay attention to it.

But after news of the current state of Saruman Snake Battle Team reached the Solar System, the excitement turned to dismay!

Saruman Snake Battle Team, in Wang Zheng's temporary absence, had seen Achilles replace him as leader. At the same time, Snow Li had left, Vincent had left…

They had secured Lie Xin, an excellent replacement. But what kind of mummery was this?

And the other, Oli? An Arbiter whose situation was unclear. This left many worried.

The Ares College students' slowly welling anticipation had suddenly cooled in an instant.

Whether Snow Li or Vincent, they had been irreplaceable components in Saruman Snake Battle Team's fighting power. Could the two new girls really make up for the loss of these two?

What was Wang Zheng playing at? Where had he gone?

The reason seemed to be fulfilling a training mission. This was very common in Elite Academy X – Yang Pan and many others had been the same way. But Wang Zheng was only in his second year. Was there a need? And at such a crucial moment?

Chapter 946: Brand New Lineup

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Saruman Snake Battle Team had taken first place in the last competition season, everybody knew that it had been a shaky win. The superpowers had not gone all out. Once they got serious, it would be an entirely different matter. Wang Zheng was playing this too carelessly.

"Keke, better favor Dynasty Battle Team, run by yours truly, the great King Lear. I dare to bet that Sister Lie Xin must have been duped. She wanted to ride his coattails, but the coat is missing. She must be regretting leaving me now."

Ares College was up in arms. Although they were surprised at Wang Zheng's absence, they still united together. Yao Ailun was the first to speak out. "A mature Battle Team must experience all kinds of challenges. Besides, Wang Zheng will definitely return. A champion Battle Team will hold out!"

"It's charisma. My big brother Zheng is just more attractive than Lear."

There was no first place in the arts, and no second place in fighting. The noisiest discussions ensued in Ares College and Zeus College. Basically, everyone felt that the future leader of the Solar System would be between Wang Zheng and Lear.

And in Elite Academy X, the various Battle Teams had already finished their preparations, and were waiting for competition day in three days' time.

Saruman Snake Battle Team would undoubtedly be a main target. An undefeated score was something to gawp at.

Dark Wolves Battle Team. The new leader, Sartes, was also analyzing Saruman Snake Battle Team. "They're not especially strong, but their synchronicity is excellent. Besides, they had trump cards. But now, after losing their three heavy hitters, can they still bring that level of teamwork? Keke, an interesting Battle Team. I wished Wang Zheng was still around."

Over at Star Lya Battle Team, Pampas was laying out the tactics. A few replacement newcomers were especially obedient. They were not naturally like this, but had already been cowed by Pampas through various ways. "Theoretically, the chances of an early matchup with Saruman Snake Battle Team is fairly high, but we cannot assume that Saruman Snake Battle Team has become weaker because they have lost Wang Zheng, Snow Li, and Vincent. All we can say is that our odds are better. If we do meet them, I think their formation will be like this… Our response will be… Our odds of success should be at 80%…"

Imperial Glory Battle Team was similarly targeting Saruman Snake Battle Team's plan…

Saruman Snake Battle Team was already facing trouble after their lineup changes, and being targeted was doubly hard. Achilles, as the replacement captain, was clear on this. He bore tremendous pressure. After letting Snow Li and Vincent go, many disadvantageous factors had begun to emerge for the Battle Team lineup.

But to Achilles, pressure had always been his motivator. He wanted to see how well he could lead this Battle Team in Wang Zheng's absence. His greatest goal was to protect the undefeated record.

"Our previous training tactics are just these few. Does anyone have something better to offer?" Achilles was not the aloof kind. Back then, the Moon had eight Heavenly Stars precisely because he liked to take in other views.

Lie Xin shrugged lazily, and said, "It's still the sniper issue. A few of our lineups still lack this. I daresay, once we reveal it, the other Battle Teams will all target it."

Damn Wang Zheng, that bastard. He had left a broken stall behind him to go training. What screw had been loose in her mind, to accept so carelessly? Had she really been seduced?

Achilles nodded. Lie Xin's presence had strengthened the variations in Saruman Snake Battle Team's tactics. It has to be said that Lie Xin's ability was like fire for the Battle Team – the results were instantly seen. But the sniper issue was one he could not solve. It was not that they had not been recruiting, but they just would not do. The standards were too low. The various major Battle Teams were furiously supplementing talent, and Elite Academy could not be relied on for this replenishment. Instead, the various military schools were turned to. And the Solar System was lacking. There had been some nominations, but they could not be considered. A few had some promise, and could be polished. But Saruman Snake Battle Team was not the place to do so.

"As for the sniper position, leave it to me," Achilles said. His ability was still very well-rounded. Although he was not a professional, he would not do too badly as a backup sniper.

Snow Li had not wanted to go. If Wang Zheng had said the word, she would have stayed. But Wang Zheng had sent her packing, and Snow did not know what to say. She was a little moved, but also a little frustrated. She understood why Wang Zheng would do such a thing. But the more considerate he was, the more she could not bear to leave.

Hearing Achilles' words, everyone started, and unanimously rejected the idea.

"No way, that's a joke." Lie Xin did not mince words. As a sniper, Achilles' Ability X would be utterly useless.

The spirit of sacrifice was good, but sacrifice alone could not make a strong Battle Team. Or achieve victory. She would choose Lear over Achilles any day. Simply because this guy was too selfless at times. The Moon people all had some deep-seated issue. As a leader, one had to be a little domineering, just like how Wang Zheng had treated her.

At this moment, Oli's voice quietly and meekly piped up.

"What?"

They had not heard her clearly. Oli's personality and ability were two polar opposites.

Zhang Shan laughed. In Wang Zheng's absence, he was closest to Oli. "Little Oli, speak up if you have something to offer. We're all comrades in the same trench."

Oli nodded, and cleared her throat. "I… actually… can snipe."

Her voice was still soft, but they heard her clearly. Only…

Hearing it clearly had stunned them.

This was even more ridiculous than Achilles becoming a sniper. They would be giving up even more to patch this weakness.

Their deepest impression of Oli was her close combat Heavenly Overlord Technique. When attacking in close quarters, it was every enemy's nightmare when unleashed in full force.

And now she said she would be a sniper?

Zhang Shan was the first to shake his head in objection. "No, no. How about letting this genius, yours truly, try sniping for a time? If Oli becomes the scout, she can truly kill anything in her way."

Achilles had shook his head smilingly as well. Oli was new, and wanted to contribute to the Battle Team. He understood that feeling. "The competition is in three days. We still have three days to prepare. Let's continue looking in the school. We ask no questions of ability, only that they can keep up with our pace. Anyone like that is worth a try. If it does not work out, leave it to me."

Oli pursed her lips. Among the dissenting voices, she insisted, "I can really snipe. If you don't believe me, we can simulate a battle."

Everyone stared at her. If Oli was this insistent, then she had to have her reasons.

"Alright, we can try it out."

Achilles nodded. If Oli was up to the task, then their lineup flexibility would increase greatly. They could even design tactics revolving around her as the core.

And try they did. Zhang Shan volunteered, and entered the simulation with Takumi. Two against one, a standard heavy sniper test.

After 10 minutes…

Oli weakly said, "It's alright, isn't it? If we can't find anyone, I can fill the role."

Hearing her tiny voice, everyone just looked around at each other.

Zhang Shan patted Oli's shoulder with some irritation. "I always thought I was the best at acting. Oli, you really showed me this time!"

Chapter 947: Life or Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tita Star was in a state of panic, but Wang Zheng's presence was almost invisible. He was quietly waiting.

Ai Ya City. This was a city that had been relatively slower to evacuate. The main reason was that its citizens had been unwilling to leave, holding on to their daydreams that the invaders would adhere to international agreements.

The super soldiers materialized. The city defenders put up a defense, but under the tremendous onslaught of the super soldiers, they fell apart, and could only retreat.

The entire city was plunged into chaos. Hannibal was slaughtering while whistling. "Come out, come out, my meek creatures. When I kill you, my rating will definitely rise!"

In the underworld, besides money, the contest for rankings was equally stiff. The word "reputation" was a curse that humanity could never leave behind.

When he saw this opportunity, Blue Demon could no longer help himself. If he finished off this super soldier, his gains this time would far exceed his actions to date.

One must know that when one reached a certain level, everyone exercised due caution. Before acting, one would evaluate the risk. On the other hand, his opponent was also sufficiently dangerous. Such a good opportunity was few and far between. Besides, after the last testing, Hannibal felt that his odds of winning were roughly four to one.

The intelligence he had was that his opponent was a student at Elite Academy X, which gave Hannibal some confidence. Most feared of all were his brethren scarred by the underworld. They were all killers. Even if they were just a tad less skilled, the final suicidal counter could very well take one with them. Facaul was a case in point. His ability was so strong, and had such an advantage, but had almost been done in.

A student, young and full of energy. Clearly talented. The risks were lower.

How could he pass up on such an opportunity? That was why he had taken the initiative to go to Mu Lei.

Of course, Fire Falcon would guess his intentions. But so what? It was his own fault for sustaining damage. He could not be faulted.

Only a fool would not utilize every opportunity.

The entire city and its military situation were in control. The Tita people's forces had already assembled at the Nomiya region. After this battle, the rest would not concern him at all.

The Blue Demon mech swooped down on a squad, instantly rocketing to the sky and executing a brilliant maneuver to stop in midair.

He flipped over to survey the fleeing ants below. Hannibal was in high spirits. This was the appetizer before the feast. It put him in top condition. Each life and death battle with an Earth rank warrior was a banquet.

Shing shing…

Volleys of guided missiles boomed out. This was a completely different matter compared to lasers.

BOOM RUMBLE…

Following the flames and wailing, Hannibal narrowed his eyes and savored the moment. He should be here soon. He was so slow.

Wang Zheng was currently flying the Conqueror at full speed towards Aiya city. This was the maximum limit of the runic mech. Even if such speed would drain his strength, he had to proceed nonetheless.

People were fleeing everywhere. Their anger had already turned into fear. Only some of the elderly watched on quietly. They had been through disasters. Perhaps because they were so near to death regardless that they were unafraid. They let the young go, and stayed on. This was their home, the home of their lifetimes, and they would die at home.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the Titan God would really appear to save them. How could He watch their home perish?

A jet of black light streaked towards the Blue Demon.

BOOM…

Ting, ting, ting…

The titanium blades clashed furiously. The two bolts of light, black and blue, were showered with sparks. Following which, they separated with an enormous sound.

"Haha, good moves. Punk, today we'll have an Ability X fight to the finish. Declare your name and ranking!" Hannibal exclaimed.

Wang Zheng was very clear about that. Seeing the scene before him, the flames that he had suppressed in his heart continued to rise.

His pupils slowly turned red. The runic mech leaped forward, the titanium blade sweeping out viciously.

WANG…

Blue Demon had not met it, but smoothly drew back. "Remember, I am Hannibal, X198!"

Following that, he executed a tight turn in midair. The mech made a 180 degree extreme twist. Hefting his blade, he leaped towards the Conqueror.

Wang Zheng's own knife blocked it. With a roar of the engine, the titanium blade cut out in response.

The more furious he was, the calmer he became. Wang Zheng took a deep breath and used his Primordial Regression Technique. He was fully aware of the dangers of this battle. This was the first time he would fight an Earth rank fighter in a mech, and one that was experienced in battle to boot. The smallest mistake would result in his demise. He could not afford to lose, so he must win!

TANG…

Blue Demon was easily receiving his opponent's attacks. After clashing before once, someone of Blue Demon's caliber more or less had a feel of his opponent. And unfortunately for this pitiful punk, his ability was also frost. A similar ability, but their levels were completely different.

The titanium blade started to shimmer with frosty light. Each time they clashed, Blue Demon was expanding his Ability X permeation. Blocking without an energy shield meant that it was all sustained by the body.

He need not be too flashy. But the opponent would gradually feel his limbs go numb, until he lost all ability to resist.

At Blue Demon's level, they returned to a very natural state. The most practical killing moves were the most sustainable. Attack and defense, with no loopholes.

After learning the Ice Ability X at an Earth rank on Hail Cloud Alliance, he knew that it was a feeling, a melding. He could draw on the frost energy in the air at any time, and execute various attacks.

BOOM…

An ice shield formed, blocking the ferocious attack. At the same time, the titanium blade countered. Blue Demon twirled lightly, letting the attack pass. And answered with another slash.

One who had just come to feel the Earth rank knew the advantages of doing as they pleased, but that was not enough.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

After a few clashes, Wang Zheng had come to realize something. The opponent was not only strong in Ability X, but also in cultivation techniques. Previously, his Primordial Regression Technique was a trump card in itself, useful in all situations. But in such power struggles, he could tell from his attacks that the opponent was not just a strength-type Ability X user.

Hannibal was also surprised. To be able to attack at this level, Ability X alone was not enough. Cultivation technique was key. His own physical strength stemmed from his system. His cultivation techniques had brought him to where he was today. But his superior physical ability had not been able to overwhelm this opponent, and he was even feeling a little pressure from the opponent.

Only, neither side in the battle could dwell over much on these things. BOOM…

Wang Zheng's black mech was sent flying with a kick. In the air, Hannibal's Blue Demon executed a lightning kick with a spin.

BOOM���

Wang Zheng"s mech crashed heavily against a building. Those Tita people hiding in the building and waiting for their savior had a fright. They did not know who their protector was, but he was truly their only hope. Normal mech fighters were completely helpless against the super soldiers flitting in the skies.

SHING…

A black shadow flew out from the building. The Conqueror rushed towards his enemy at full strength, his titanium blade in a reverse grip. The Primordial Regression Technique smoothly flowed out. The natural world's energy responded to his ability.

Frost Cleave!

Seeing his opponent's stance, Hannibal laughed. This was too obvious.

The Blue Demon mech emitted an azure blue beam and leaped to counter. Wang Zheng's attack felt off. His own ability was being interfered with.

Cultivation techniques and Ability X could fuse into attacks with tremendous killing power. But once separated, their strength was not even half of that.

BOOM…

Hannibal had completely suppressed him. At the same time, he extended his left palm towards Wang Zheng's Conqueror.

HUM…

A wave of blue light rippled out in a blast. Instantly, the Conqueror was covered in a layer of icy cracks. In the cockpit, Wang Zheng felt a chill bite through his body.

This attack… had never been heard of before.

The attack did not attack like lasers did, but directly reached him.

"Keke, punk, you haven't been in Earth rank long, have you? This is the true way of using Ability X!"

He flipped and kicked out, still emitting his azure blue light waves.

If this kick connected, Wang Zheng's chances were not good.

BOOM…

Inferno energy erupted. In terms of fine usage and class, Inferno ability had no way of competing with Frost energy, but this affinity effectiveness was the best. Besides, Tita Star's wood affinity helped it.

He shrugged off the numbing effects of the frost and dodged the kick. The Conqueror immediately drew the distance apart.

Hannibal was stunned, but also pleased. Dual affinity ability users were nothing special, but given Elite Academy X's system, this person must be young. Fufu, looks like he would be finishing off a super genius today.

This feeling had Hannibal even more excited.

Blue Demon attacked like a shadow, not giving Wang Zheng any chance. When one was stronger in the same affinity, one could utilize one's mental energy to destroy the opponent's responses, and subdue the opponent's Ability X by force.

At the same time, Ability X and cultivation techniques combined perfectly in the super mech's capabilities, and the fighting power it unleashed was unimaginable to any average pilot.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM…

Three consecutive attacks. Hannibal was going all out now. He harassed Wang Zheng. At the same time, his blade carried powerful frost ability. Any contact would pierce Wang Zheng with frost.

The Inferno ability constantly blocked and nullified it. He preserved the alertness of his body, and Blue Demon attacked again.

BOOM…

Wang Zheng did not block it, but was sent flying.

This blow had connected solidly, but Hannibal did not pursue. Everything was under control, and the slightest error could cost him. If left to develop, this punk would be a monster in the future. Multi-ability fighters were not always at an advantage, but if one could switch extremely quickly, that was terrifying.

Looking at the despairing crowds below, Hannibal was overjoyed. Fear and despair were snacks for a killer. Fufu, eradicating a person's hope was even more terrifying than death itself.

It had always been so. A bunch of weaklings. Did they not understand? A struggle to the death would only make the conquerors feel even better. Life was rape. If you couldn't fight it, you should learn to enjoy it.

Seeing the runic mech fly over, Hannibal's mouth twitched. "Punk, you're really not intending to state your name?"

He was not worried that his opponent would escape. Such ring-bred fighters always had the same weakness, just like Heaven. Although he had mixed with the underworld, in his bones, he had always thought of leaving it behind. He had never met any of those types with a happy ending.

Death was inevitable.

"Corpses have no need of my name," Wang Zheng said coldly.

Hannibal was stunned, then burst into guffaws. "That's the best joke I've heard in my life."
