"Clang—!"
The rapidly flying Bayu Ji's two wing panels were suddenly pierced by two giant spears.
Shu Feizhang was shocked. Who was this mecha pilot with such strength in Black Star!
"Recently, there have been many high-combat-power Xianxia mechas invading Black Star," a cold, unfamiliar male voice echoed. "Shan Hai City fell, Enameled City was destroyed, and now you're attacking the Merali islands. What is your ultimate goal?"
As the man's words fell, a giant Black Star mecha, entirely encased in transparent armor, hovered in the air, stepping on three Black Star transport mechas. Its internal mechanical structure was clearly visible.
High in the sky, a colossal transport aircraft with a wingspan of three thousand meters emerged from the clouds, its advance gradually halting.
From the aircraft's thick wing armor, Black Star enemy aircraft swarmed out like a continuous stream of raindrops.
The Black Star Mecha Grand Fleet formed an orderly battle formation behind this special transparent mecha, creating a grand mecha fleet attack formation.
"Hm? A mecha of this shape, are you Shu Feizhang, the second War God of Xianxia?" the man asked coldly. "Xianxia actually sent you. Xianxia just stopped fighting, and now you want to provoke a war?"
Seeing the massive mecha army behind it about to form, the remaining enemy aircraft flew in from all directions, heavily surrounding the Bayu Ji.
Shu Feizhang let out a slow breath, steeling himself for a fight.
At that moment, a rectangular dark domain unfolded behind the Bayu Ji, and a giant hand gripped the mecha's waist, pulling it into the darkness.
When the dark domain vanished, the sky was empty.
"Hmph. The War Gods of Xianxia are nothing more than this," the man said coldly. "Withdraw!"
Following the man's command, the Black Star army retreated in an orderly fashion.
In the airspace several hundred kilometers away from the battlefield, a dark domain suddenly unfolded, and the Bayu Ji, its wings pierced, slowly flew out, followed closely by the Black Cage mecha.
Shu Feizhang berated, "Why did you come back? Wasn't I supposed to tell you and Gu Ya to take Mu Ye·Xingchen and go? Where are they?!"
Shen Jingming surveyed the surroundings, sighed, and said, "They probably went back to save you."
"Idiots... they can't even distinguish who is important!!" Shu Feizhang clenched his fist in anger and slammed the control panel, the word "egg" stuck in his throat, unsaid.
After calming down, Shu Feizhang said, "If Mu Ye·Xingchen dies or escapes, it will be very difficult for us to find the underground entrance relying on ourselves. Jingming, let's go back and save them."
"Come into my mecha. Gu Ya can repair your mecha afterward."
The Black Cage dragged the Bayu Ji into the dark domain and disappeared into the sky.
Gu Ya and Mu Ye·Xingchen had only flown tens of kilometers from the battlefield when they saw a vast number of Black Star enemy machines orderly withdrawing into their mothership.
Looking at the colossal mothership, which resembled a Roc, Gu Ya felt a twinge of fear.
"The characteristic of Commander Lai Xin," Mu Ye·Xingchen stated, "is a preference for large weaponry."
This reminded Gu Ya of the beast-like mecha that had rampaged through Shan Hai City, also a super-sized, aberrant mecha.
"It seems they've already evacuated safely. Should we go back to find them?" Mu Ye·Xingchen asked.
A surge of heat coursed through Gu Ya, and a wicked grin spread across his lips. "Your mecha is Black Star technology. They shouldn't be able to discover it easily, right?"
"You want to infiltrate that behemoth?" Mu Ye·Xingchen was somewhat astonished, not expecting Gu Ya to be this reckless.
Gu Ya directly retracted his Thunderstorm Megastar and entered Mu Ye's mecha, driving the other out of the cockpit.
"When the meat is delivered to my mouth, why wouldn't I eat it?" Gu Ya quickly operated the mecha, saying excitedly.
"Last time at your base, if it weren't for needing to get into prison, I would never have let that beast mecha go."
With everything prepared, Mu Ye's mecha erupted with pure black thruster flames and charged towards the mothership.
"Your mecha model is 'Xingchen,' delivered by Zhan Huo·Ji, right?" Gu Ya asked excitedly.
Mu Ye·Xingchen nodded and said, "Besides him, who else could it be? Among my old subordinates, only he and Hong Lian are the most loyal."
"Showing off too much makes it easy to be discovered. It needs to be changed," Gu Ya said plainly.
Hei Yang's program was transferred from Gu Ya's fingertips into the Xingchen mecha. The massive attack fins were retracted into the [Void Package], and the countless mounted missiles on its thick limbs disappeared one by one.
As the last piece of heavy defensive armor was removed, the Xingchen mecha no longer bore its original magnificent and intimidating appearance, now resembling a mass-produced Black Star mecha more.
However, beneath its unassuming exterior lay an internal structure unlike any other.
"Hey! What's going on with you? Which unit are you from? Report your name!! Get out for a routine inspection!!" a strange Black Star commander's voice came.
Gu Ya pulled out an automatic translator from the system store, feigning a pained tone, "Boss, I ate something bad this morning, I've got diarrhea and vomiting. Look... how about this, I'll come find you myself when I'm better. I recently got something good from overseas, you see..."
The other party was silent for a moment, his tone softening. "Come find me at the Waiwa Lou unit. Don't let it happen again!"
After a bit of smooth talking, Gu Ya successfully entered the mothership.
It was already shocking from the outside, but the interior of the mothership was even more beyond Gu Ya's expectations.
Within the perfectly sealed, thick armor, the space was exceptionally vast, stretching as far as the eye could see from left to right.
The cold silver-gray tones made the hangar appear very solemn and austere.
After the Black Star mechas entered the hangar, they moved forward in an orderly, synchronized manner, heading towards their respective mecha docking stations.
Their mechanical feet stepped into the shallow grooves at the bottom of the docking stations, and retracting mechanisms locked their feet in place.
Four mechanical support arms extended from their backs, clamping onto the mecha's waist and chest.
Then, a large amount of cooling gas was sprayed down from above to cool the mechas.
Once all mechas were in place, the mechas' chest armor popped open, and the Black Star pilots emerged from their cockpits.
At this point, countless mechanics rapidly rushed out from the small doors on the periphery of the hangar.
Each mecha was equipped with three mechanics.
Maintenance platforms embedded in the silver-gray metal walls were pulled out by the mechanics.
With their flexible eight-wheeled bases and inertial pushing capabilities, the two-story maintenance platforms could be easily pushed and pulled.
The mecha pilots assisted the mechanic teams in maintaining the mechas. The entire wing hangar became lively, with the sounds of mechanical transport, tool rotation, and human voices gradually rising to a crescendo.
"Hey! Which unit are you from? The mothership is about to change direction, why aren't you back at your station!" a commander, who seemed to be a minor leader, shouted from below the Xingchen mecha's feet.
Gu Ya's eyes darted around, and he said with a grin, "Boss, the commander of the Waiwa Lou unit told me to find him. I'm lost."
Mu Ye·Xingchen asked confusedly, "What exactly do you want to do? This is a good opportunity, why aren't you attacking already?"
"Don't rush. It's a waste to destroy such a good thing. I have a greater purpose," Gu Ya said excitedly.
"Don't forget the mission is important," Mu Ye reminded him.
"It won't be too late, an hour at most," Gu Ya said, tapping his head. Hei Yang materialized from his shoulder.
"Go find the brain of this bird. Once successful, tell me the location of the main control console," Gu Ya instructed.
Hei Yang obediently nodded, turned invisible, and dissipated.
Just then, the commander beneath the mecha's feet noticed something amiss. He called over a mechanic, and the two began discussing the Xingchen mecha.
Gu Ya wasn't foolish enough to wait for them to discover the anomaly. He quickly maneuvered the mecha away.
Facing such a behemoth, Gu Ya couldn't directly use [Mech God's Gaze], or his head would explode.
Furthermore, the Xingchen mecha was Black Star technology, and it would take time to fully understand it. It wasn't like fusing with the Thunderstorm Megastar, where he could use the mecha system to assist in analyzing the mothership.
Therefore, Gu Ya summoned Hei Yang to understand the mothership on his behalf.
During this time, Gu Ya had to hide, which was naturally not difficult for him.
He found a deserted corner, retracted the Xingchen mecha into the [Void Package], then took out two sets of Black Star pilot uniforms and put them on.
He and Mu Ye·Xingchen swaggered out.
"Ding-dong! Mothership mecha is about to change direction. All personnel please return to the safety room and await instructions. Repeat..."
Gu Ya smirked wickedly and said, "Let's go, beautiful sister Xingchen, let's go mingle with the Black Star walkers."
"You speak so nicely, but please don't say it again," Mu Ye·Xingchen was clearly annoyed by the nickname.
After they followed everyone back to the safety room, found empty seats, and fastened their restraints, the mothership began to tremble slightly.
Gu Ya felt his body gradually become weightless. If he didn't interfere, his limbs would float.
The feeling of weightlessness lasted for about ten minutes before gradually stabilizing.
It seemed that this behemoth required a lot of time to fully turn.
At this moment, the Black Star walkers sitting around noticed these two strangers.
Especially Mu Ye·Xingchen, whose silent and serene face was incredibly beautiful, attracting frequent glances from those around them.
Such a beautiful "mare" made the Black Star male soldiers, who rarely had the chance to see women, begin to salivate.
One bold Black Star soldier walked up to Mu Ye·Xingchen, struck a pose he thought was very suave, and said with a lewd smile, "Where did this great beauty come from? I've never seen you before~!"
As he spoke, the fingertip of his index finger, stained with black machine oil, lifted Mu Ye·Xingchen's delicate chin.
As soon as the words left his mouth, a sharp dagger severed his finger.
"Ah—!"
A scream pierced the surroundings, and a crimson lightsaber suddenly ignited in Gu Ya's hand!
By the time they emerged from the safety room, through the gradually closing door, everyone inside was decapitated, their blood splattering all over the walls.
"It really is mingling!" Gu Ya exclaimed.
"Master!"
Hei Yang's voice returned to Gu Ya's mind. "The main cockpit has been found. The map has been stored in the [Star Structure Blueprint]. Access authority is transferred to you. I will shield unnecessary information as much as possible to ensure your brain is not damaged."
Gu Ya chuckled and grinned, "Let's go, my handsome brother. We're going to destroy... ah no... I suddenly have a better idea."
