Three hours remained until the Black Star Empire launched its full-scale counterattack war.
When Gu Ya and his group arrived at Kuangqiu City, the Xianxia army that had arrived earlier was already engaged in battle with the Black Star forces defending the city.
Fierce combat unfolded in the skies above the city, with fires raging within its bounds.
Hovering vehicles, engulfed in flames, crashed into the walls of buildings, their passengers leaping to their deaths from heights of a hundred meters.
Streets were choked with rubble of steel and earth.
Black Star residents, enduring the terrifying sounds of bombardment and the shockwaves of explosions, scrambled for cover from the imminent disaster raining down upon them.
Screams of agony and terror echoed from all directions.
Gu Ya's Golden Authority Divine Mech made an emergency landing on the wide main street, followed closely by Nightingale and Red Beast.
Gigantic Wind House mechs hovered above, their immense forms eclipsing the sun, providing cover for their teammates on the ground.
The Peach Creek Mech, a mere third of their size, maneuvered and circled between the towering skyscrapers, constantly protecting its teammates.
The Limitless Mech zipped overhead,
Followed closely by the Miracle Mech,
The two charged into the enemy formation ahead, engaging in fierce combat.
Gu Ya calmly stated, "Bai Ying, try to establish contact with the city's communications and locate Hai Yang's main body!"
"Liu Feng, Ning Yu! I'm entrusting Ye Ying and Bai Ying to your protection!"
After assigning the tactics, the Golden Authority Divine Mech shot flames and ascended into the sky, joining the fray.
Enemy mechs converging from all sides grew in number.
The Limitless Mech's broad, sweeping combat style kept enemy mechs from getting close.
Thus, close-combat enemy mechs pulled back, encircling the Limitless Mech and suppressing it with long-range firepower.
Miracle, piloting a lightweight combat mech, weaved swiftly behind the enemy mechs, constantly harassing them and attempting to break through their defenses to rescue Limitless.
Gu Ya, piloting the Golden Authority Divine, advanced past Miracle, charging directly at the enemy mechs.
Its beam shotgun exploded outwards, and armor-piercing rounds embedded themselves in the backs of enemy mechs.
Sharp beam swords followed, and the heavy knee-mounted pile drivers delivered ferocious blows, killing three enemy mechs and carving a bloody path.
"Limitless, charge!!" Gu Ya shouted calmly.
"Received!"
The Limitless Mech, protected by its massive shield, suddenly unfolded its wing-like appendages on its back, shooting out a light band with a residual trail, breaking free from the encirclement.
The powerful long-range fire support from the Wind House Mech followed closely behind.
A torrent of missiles, like countless beasts, lunged at the enemy mechs, overwhelming the Black Star mechs, which scattered in an attempt to escape.
Suddenly, an ominous sound swept across the entire area, audible in every corner of the city.
A colossal Black Star flying mothership descended from the clouds, hovering above the city.
It was several times larger than any mothership Gu Ya had seen before!
It blotted out half the city like a sky-spanning canopy!
Miracle exclaimed, "Whoa—that thing! It's not going to be easy, is it?"
"There must be a way, let's see what it's here for first!" Hundred Slashes·Scar, piloting his mech, arrived to support.
The four mechs shot into the sky and landed on the tops of four skyscrapers at a considerable distance from each other, looking up.
The gigantic flying mothership descended to an altitude of three thousand meters. Below its wings, hundreds of docking bays sequentially popped open.
An endless stream of Black Star mechs flew out from both sides of the mothership, diving to join the battlefield.
At this moment, the Xianxia army had gained the initiative on the battlefield.
The arrival of reinforcements from the enemy side caused the situation to become tense once more.
Gu Ya looked back at the ground, anxiously asking, "Bai Ying, have you found Hai Yang?!"
Bai Ying calmly replied, "Dad, I've searched all the surviving communication data streams in the city and haven't found him. There should be dark web communications, and I'm trying to gain access."
Searching like this would take too long, and Gu Ya was burning with anxiety, needing to adjust his tactics.
"Miracle, you are still in an conscious state, go and assist Bai Ying."
"Limitless, the Xianxia army is showing signs of fatigue, go and support them."
"Hundred Slashes, use your communication channels to notify the Golden Authority Kingdom for support as soon as possible!"
Miracle called out, "Received, Brother Gu! We'll act immediately. Then... what about you?"
Gu Ya said fiercely, "I'm going to have a go at that big guy!"
The three mechs shot off in different directions.
The Golden Authority Divine Mech unleashed its flames and shot straight up towards the mothership.
The cockpit vibrated violently, Gu Ya's eyes were firm and fierce.
The Golden Authority Divine's body rubbed against the air, erupting in golden light, like a streaking golden meteor, breaking through the intense battlefield and explosion zone above, heading straight for the mothership.
A line of enemy mechs diving towards them spotted the Golden Authority Divine and turned around.
The enemy mechs formed a vertical dive formation, like black vines growing from the mothership, accelerating their charge.
Gu Ya roared ferociously, "Get lost! Bastards!"
The Golden Authority Divine held its swords with both hands, golden beam ripples shooting out, as if wielding two golden greatswords like a berserker.
The mech spun, generating a rapid golden vortex.
Gu Ya, fully mechanized, plunged his arms into the reserved slots on the control panel.
The mechanisms within the slots quickly dismantled Gu Ya's mechanical skin, tightly connecting the mechanisms to Gu Ya's arms.
With Gu Ya's fully mechanized arm operation, the Golden Authority Divine unleashed even greater kinetic energy.
Gu Ya roared in fury, "Combination Skill! Attack Synchronization! Gale Hurricane Dragon!!"
"HAAARGH—!"
The Golden Authority Divine blazed with golden flames, like a gigantic golden dragon, roaring and charging directly into the enemy swarm!
The intense collision transmitted instantly to the cockpit.
Debris from enemy mechs flew out from all around.
Seen from the sky, it was like a gigantic golden dragon, unleashing its claws, shredding the enemy formation of black dragons!
Innumerable black enemy mech wreckage splashed outwards from the "golden dragon head" position!
The Golden Authority Divine, with one mighty push, destroyed all enemy mechs and charged directly to the top, storming into the mothership!
After quickly ceasing its rotation, the Golden Authority Divine stood proudly at the hangar opening, its twin swords swiftly slicing open the hangar switch, and the hangar door slammed shut heavily!
Facing the covetous gazes of countless Black Star enemy mechs,
Gu Ya's eyes were filled with a killing intent, and he snarled, "Rats, face your fear!!"
The Golden Authority Divine brandished its two greatswords and charged into the midst of thousands of Black Star enemy mechs!
The overwhelming close-range destructive power, coupled with Gu Ya's masterful piloting skills, instantly turned any Black Star enemy mech that dared to charge into scrap metal!
Violent explosions erupted within the vast hangar,
Fierce blast waves raged, toppling numerous enemy mechs.
The Golden Authority Divine continuously harvested enemy mech heads like a lawnmower.
Suddenly, a missile shot towards him! Just as its warhead was about to strike his head,
The Golden Authority Divine quickly raised its hand and grabbed the missile body, using its immense arm strength to change its trajectory and press it against a nearby enemy mech.
The warhead exploded at close range, a massive tremor transmitting to the cockpit.
The killing exhilarated Gu Ya even further, as if his body possessed inexhaustible strength!
Suddenly, a thunderous bombardment sounded from outside the mothership's hull, as if someone was fiercely attacking from the outside.
The next moment, the hull, several meters thick, was blasted open with a large hole!
The immense pressure difference instantly sucked three enemy mechs out of the mothership.
The Red Beast mech, braving the powerful pressure difference, burrowed in through the large hole!
Liu Feng roared with laughter, "Hahahahahahaha!!!!"
"How could my brother miss out on something this fun, something this exciting!"
The Red Beast mech, carrying its twin hammers, struck the enemy mechs like a frenzied drummer.
Each swing of the Red Wave Battle Hammer possessed a power of a million tons!
Under the frenzied assault of the battle hammers, some enemy mechs were torn apart, while others simply exploded into black mist and a rain of wreckage, scattering in all directions!
The destroyed enemy mechs' wreckage was sucked out of the mothership, blocking the opening.
"You've come at the right time, Liu Feng! Follow me into the cockpit, and let's completely destroy this mothership!!"
The two mechs, like monkeys causing havoc in heaven, carved a bloody path out from the hangar on the right side and charged towards the cockpit.
Subsequent enemy mechs dared not move forward to intercept, squeezing out through other docking bays.
This mothership, having escorted reinforcements to the battlefield, had completed its mission.
As for these two daredevil lunatics, it was better to preserve their strength and deal with them after defeating the Xianxia army.
When they reached the outside of the cockpit, facing the thick alloy partition, the Red Beast raised its twin hammers in fury, its arm-mounted auxiliary thrusters firing intensely, delivering a full-power blow!
The thick cockpit wall was blasted open with a large hole!
The dozen or so Black Star pilots inside all died from the blast wave.
The Golden Authority Divine swiftly entered, its twin swords slashing in unison, cleaving the mothership's cockpit in half.
The Red Beast's battle hammers quickly delivered finishing blows, hammering the ground furiously and creating over a dozen large holes in the cockpit armor.
The mothership began to tilt, its power units failing one by one, its hundreds of thrusters gradually shutting down.
This behemoth emitted black smoke, its starboard side listing, and began to fall towards the city!
The Golden Authority Divine and the Red Beast mechs flew out from the holes in the cockpit, drawing two arcs of flames.
Behind them, the mothership's starboard side near the cockpit exploded first, its massive right wing blown off.
The end of the right wing collided with a skyscraper, triggering a chain reaction of explosions.
The port side could no longer support the weight of the central section.
The central section, head down, plunged directly into the city and exploded.
The sky-shattering explosion accompanied by shockwaves swept across the entire city!
From a great distance, it looked like a semi-transparent hemispherical dome rapidly expanding over the city!
Wherever the shockwave reached, all doors and windows of buildings were shattered.
Facilities within buildings were piled up in the direction of the shockwave's spread, and countless Black Star residents hiding inside were crushed to death or injured.
Those Black Star enemy mechs that had not yet managed to exit the mothership were all destroyed in the explosion.
The Black Star army lost its follow-up troop support,
The Xianxia army quickly regained the initiative on the battlefield, suppressing the Black Star forces, and enemy mechs fled towards the outskirts of the city.
Just as the war was advancing towards victory,
A terrifyingly intense mechanical roar thundered from the sky.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a super-giant mech, even larger than the mothership, appear in the far distance, slowly approaching like a colossal mountain!
All Xianxia mech display screens simultaneously went haywire,
All Xianxia mechs simultaneously lost their autonomous control.
The mechs stopped moving, suspended in the air like tens of thousands of zombies.
Immediately after, the screens froze,
An unfamiliar young girl's avatar appeared on all Xianxia mechs' holographic screens.
Her face was ashen, and her blood-red eyes stared directly at everyone.
The girl slowly opened her mouth and spoke in a toneless voice, like a computer system:
"My name is Lai Jing Ximei, and I am the First Kin of Grand Commander Fanan."
"The countdown has reached its end. On behalf of the Grand Commander and the Black Star Empire, I lead the 'Ascension Legion' to conquer the world once more."
"The Black Star Empire will begin its reign over the world from this city. I will..."
Before Lai Jing Ximei could finish speaking, the screens instantly returned to normal!
Bai Ying, using her powerful computing abilities, regained control of the Xianxia mechs.
Gu Ya asked doubtfully, "What is the First Kin? This young girl shares the same surname as Lai Jing Fanan, what is their relationship?"
Ning Yu's voice came through, tinged with some fear and hesitation, "Master... Master! Hai Yang has completed its evolution and become its perfect form..."
"The First Kin are the first batch of pupae created by Hai Yang after its evolution!"
"This girl is Lai Jing Fanan's daughter, and in my world, she also appeared as the First Kin!"
"It seems she has already broken free from her cocoon and become... the next level of computer life form, second only to Hai Yang!"
A fierce, murderous grin spread across Gu Ya's face, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "In that case, I must kill her!"
Just as Golden Authority Divine was about to activate,
Bai Ying and Miracle shouted simultaneously, "Hai Yang's main body has been found!!"
