Chapter 148 The Puppet God

The entire arena buzzed with whispers. At this moment, not only Martians, Lunarians, and Titans, but even Earthlings were a bit dumbfounded. What was this?

This wasn't just being strong anymore. It wasn't about dodging the opponent's attacks; it was devastation. Anyone standing before this puppet would feel despair from body to soul.

"Viewers from the Solar System, this is the Puppet God, the invincible Mech War God!" Kuang Wu Daren frantically worshipped. He knew it, he just knew it, it had to be this way. This was a divine dance.

Accompanied by the Earth audience's cheers that soared to the sky, the contestants' area was utterly silent. The Apocalypse from Earth proudly raised their heads. They had never changed. This was their Hunter King. This wasn't some battle of proof; it was merely taking back what they had once lost.

The Apocalypse from other war zones remained silent. Li Mo's shadow was returning step by step. He had only emerged this year, and even with a group of trash, he had achieved such results. What would happen in the future? Would others even survive? Would they have to retreat three steps whenever they encountered Tianjing?

Those who weren't Apocalypse were simply dumbfounded. They possessed skill, and could see the intensity of the situation. He could dodge all that? And even counterattack…

At Tianjing Mech Academy, watching the students whose blood was boiling, Long Dan Ni didn't know how to describe it. Her decision to use Li Hao was purely a desperate gamble. There were moments when she felt his achievements had something to do with her brilliance. She was wrong.

What kind of power was this? He was completely dominating Basta! The Variant Dual Blade Style – she had only heard that it had once appeared in the history of the Secret Martial Sect as the strongest warrior, yet Li Hao…

Rumble rumble rumble.

The Underworld Flame Genesis rushed out of the ruins and landed with a crash.

Li Hao's Nightstalker also descended from the sky. The mechs were only a dozen meters apart.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified. Basta had used the Dual Blade Style and anti-gravity abilities, yet still couldn't do anything to Li Hao. He seemed uninjured, but suddenly the Wolf King didn't seem so dominant anymore.

"The warm-up is over, right, Basta? I'm looking forward to the main course you've prepared," Li Hao said with a smile. Aside from the S-match, this was also something he cared about.

The arena was silent. Warm-up?

Could this level of combat really be called a warm-up? Was this really okay?

A cold, lonely smile appeared on Basta's lips. The Underworld Flame Genesis plunged its two Underworld Blades into the ground. Purple flames crackled with electricity, and K23 elements were continuously being activated. Bolts of lightning crisscrossed around the Underworld Flame mech, energy surged, and arm-thick lightning snakes wrapped around it. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and dark clouds gathered.

"Dual lightning abilities?"

"Strange, why didn't he use such a strong ability before?"

Basta's lightning power far surpassed all the previous displays. The earlier uses were only small-scale applications, while Basta directly controlled the space within a hundred meters. This was true, dominating power.

The Martians, who had been a little apprehensive, regained their confidence. How could they be cowards? This was Basta, the great Wolf King!

"Lightning power is enough to deal with others, but it's a bit difficult against this guy."

"66, Basta must know that. No wonder he chose the dual Underworld Blades, he probably needs enough K23 to provide a medium. Strength alone probably isn't enough."

"One of the biggest delusions when facing Brother Li: I can counter-kill."

"We all know that, how could Basta not know."

The Nightstalker didn't move, watching the Underworld Flame mech continuously accumulate energy. All the K23 elements in the two Underworld Blades were activated, forming a circulating energy matrix between them. The lightning power in the space wasn't used for attack, but continuously circulated within the matrix. The purple flames gradually became richer and deeper, and the huge black dragon shadow also twisted and compressed continuously. Within the lightning entanglement, there was a hint of violence and killing intent.

Chao Qinglong arrived with Ye Tong and the others, and their pupils constricted when they saw this scene.

"Third Brother, over here, just right." Depuya took the initiative to make room.

The two nodded at each other, everything was understood without words.

"Basta's Zone?" Ye Tong frowned. These old-timers from Apocalypse were indeed fierce.

"He used the Secret Martial Sect's Dual Blade Style and anti-gravity ability without effect. I wonder what he's going to do now?"

"The Soul Essence is twisting, seems to be transforming?"

"Someone can still change their Soul Essence?"

A blood moon rose, and a twisting demonic dragon spiraled up to chase it, merging with the blood moon. In an instant, lightning tore through the sky, light and shadow shattered, and accompanied by a soaring wolf howl, a huge celestial wolf phantom was born, a dark purple wolf entangled with lightning.

Liuxin Martial Arts - Celestial Wolf Soul Essence!

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to be under the control of the Underworld Flame mech. The previously evenly matched golden Zone had been completely compressed into a corner. Swish…

The Underworld Blades were pulled out of the ground, and Basta opened his dark purple eyes, filled with an unparalleled power. The Underworld Flame mech adopted an attack stance.

The Nightstalker and the Blood Moon simultaneously pointed at the opponent.

Che Ju… Che Mou Ju… You you you you.

The two mechs charged at the same time. In the next moment, the Underworld Flame mech's Underworld Blades had already been swung out. This distance…???

Pi-boom!

A visible shockwave swept out. The Nightstalker swung its scabbard, and a laser shield popped open. Boom.

With a bang, the laser shield shattered directly, and the Nightstalker was blasted away. The aftermath of the shockwave blasted huge cracks in the surrounding buildings.

Swish swish swish.

The Underworld Blades danced, and one shockwave after another slashed towards where the Nightstalker was landing.

Boom.

The Nightstalker soared into the sky, but the Underworld Flame mech had already arrived, and its Underworld Blades slashed towards the Blood Moon. The moment they made contact, a violent shockwave appeared again. Snap.

The Blood Moon vibrated violently. Buzz.

The shockwave radiated outwards, and the Nightstalker appeared covered in countless fine cracks, as if it had been swept by countless claws. The shockwave continued to sweep behind it.

Clang clang clang clang clang…

At this time, the Underworld Flame mech truly resembled a wolf god descended into the world. The Dual Blade Style frantically bombarded the Nightstalker, and shockwaves blotted out the sky. The Nightstalker could only desperately defend, but the range that the Blood Moon could cover was obviously not enough to protect the entire mech. The golden flames continued to strengthen, trying to resist this power, but the cracks on the Nightstalker continued to increase.

Everyone widened their eyes. What kind of power was this? Basta's use of power had completely exceeded the scope of a single-soldier mech. It had risen to the level of a special operations team. Shockwaves covered the Nightstalker, which was compressed into a very small area and frantically beaten. The sky trembled, and the surrounding buildings were swept into dust by the shockwaves.

Lightning-derived ability - Shockwave!

All the Martian warriors clenched their fists nervously. The fire god's war room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. They knew who they were facing, but they believed in Basta, the only true god of Mars. While everyone else was complacent about mastering one ability, Basta directly ignored the superficial power of lightning because he knew that such power could never defeat that person. He needed a deeper understanding, to search and pursue beyond the limits, and thus the Celestial Wolf Soul Essence was born, and the Thunder Shockwave was discovered.

The entire Martian audience stood up and cheered for Basta's frenzied attack. At this time, Basta's prestige was like the heavens. The Blood Moon was like a child's blade skill, what kind of technique, it was not worth mentioning in the face of absolute power.

While desperately resisting, the Blood Moon also tried to counterattack, but the entire Underworld Flame mech was shrouded in a layer of shockwaves. Any attack was delayed and rebounded. This slight difference resulted in the terrifying blows of the Dual Blade Style.

The counterattack was ineffective, and the Nightstalker completely lost its opportunity. The Blood Moon and scabbard desperately parried the Underworld Blades, and the shockwaves continued to devastate the Nightstalker and the pilot.

Each of Basta's strikes carried the domineering aura of wanting to tear the sky, but even in this situation, Basta was not impatient at all. He suppressed the Nightstalker with one strike after another, constantly weakening the Nightstalker's defense. Rome, Luo and Fan Liweite's failures were meaningful, eliminating two possibilities for him. Even if the Blood Moon and scabbard could block most of the attacks, the shockwaves were still constantly destroying the Nightstalker.

This was a mech battle. As long as the mech was destroyed, it was victory!

"Kill kill kill, don't give the puppet any chance, Basta, brave Martian warrior, great Wolf King, victory is at hand, hold on, defeat him ah ah ah ah ah!" Fire Man shouted madly, he had been waiting for this day, waiting for this moment, for a long long time. This was the last man he could believe in, he would kill Mu Jiang even if the heavens and earth turned upside down.

The two sides entered the most critical contest of strength. Basta's condition was definitely consuming a terrifying amount of energy. Even with the amplification of K23 elements, to output such surging shockwaves, he must be consuming his own power. Either he would destroy the Nightstalker, or he would collapse himself.

The camera focused on the two of them. Both the defender and the attacker were incredibly focused and calm.

Using the coldest emotions to unleash the hottest offense and defense!

Boom.

No matter how frantically Basta's Dual Blade Style attacked, the Nightstalker's defense was impenetrable. However, the Nightstalker's left arm, which had been the main force of defense, began to crack. The damage caused by the shockwaves was accumulating with each confrontation.

These subtle cracks were particularly glaring in the exploding flames. Basta had seized it. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long, long time!

Roar.

The celestial wolf roared, and the two Underworld Blades trembled frantically. All the flames contracted in an instant, and the sky dimmed. In the next moment, the dual blades slashed towards the Nightstalker's saber.

Secret Martial Sect - Chui Liu Ting Zi Zan!

Buzz.

A huge blade light exploded, and a dark purple five-character imprint enveloped the sky. The Nightstalker had nowhere to hide and could only barely defend. In the next second, the Nightstalker's left arm reached its limit and completely exploded. Now only a solitary Blood Moon remained. The Nightstalker's saber had never been so helpless, and the unparalleled Underworld Flame mech had already arrived, its dual Underworld Blades shrouded the Nightstalker like Mount Olympus.

Boom.

The Nightstalker plunged into the ground like a meteor, creating a huge, steaming crater. Basta didn't stop. He took a deep breath, and without pausing, he frantically launched shockwaves at the Nightstalker that had sunk into the ground!

Che Ju Che Mou Ju Che Mou Ju Che Mou Ju Ju Ju… You you you you you you you you you you you you.

Dozens more Underworld Blade shockwaves swept across, and rubble filled the sky. The force completely scoured the ground centered on the Nightstalker.
