Chapter 1 The Rising City

With a deafening roar, the entire ascending Imperial City rose completely to the surface.

Witke looked at the behemoth before him, feeling like he was looking at a hunchbacked clown. His face flushed red, and he finally couldn't take it anymore, banging his hands on the console and bursting into laughter.

"Haha, so much for the V-generation machine! We were all prepared to die, and this is what you show us? It's just a big, bulky war fortress!"

Even the usually serious Lin Ming couldn't help but cough to cover up his embarrassment.

Many others couldn't help but laugh as well; it was just too ridiculous.

Even Su Mo looked strange, unsure how to comment. But if he had to say something, it would be that he was a little disappointed.

At this moment, Garen, hearing Witke and the others, felt his old face losing its composure. Regardless, the War Judicator was the pinnacle of the Hongji Empire's craftsmanship; how could it be treated as a joke?

So Garen said in a deep voice, "You'd better not underestimate this pseudo-V-generation weapon. Although it is a bit large, it is a genuine weapon that meets the destructive power standards of a V-generation mecha. Any underestimation will come at a price."

"I'm not saying it's weak; I'm just saying it's too ridiculous. It's so huge. Sure, it's strong, but it looks like it would be easy to hit."

Witke replied confidently.

At this moment, Artificial Intelligence · Black Universe seemed to be provoked. The massive War Judicator moved, and the super-thick Imperial Macro-Cannon on its top lowered.

"Foolish invaders, accept your judgment!"

The next moment, the Imperial Macro-Cannon fired a shell.

"Get out of the way!"

Lin Ming and the others' expressions tightened, and they immediately controlled their mechas to scatter. After all, even if they were joking around, they were still serious when it came to battle.

Unsurprisingly, the shell passed through the middle of the group and shot into the distance.

*Dong!*

A deafening roar!

A towering mushroom cloud rose behind everyone, and a terrifying shockwave swept across the area.

Su Mo and the others were so frightened that their hearts almost stopped. Witke exclaimed in shock and anger, "Are you crazy? Using nuclear thunder as cannonballs?"

Lin Ming warned sternly, "Everyone be careful; don't get hit!"

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate this weapon anymore. Even the dumbest person knew that this was not a comical weapon, but one built by a madman.

"Xue, let's go first!"

Su Mo tried his best to calm down and said to Qian Chengxue.

"Okay!"

Qian Chengxue, piloting Silver Wing, flapped its wings and charged towards the enemy from the right.

Immediately after, Su Mo, piloting the Gluttony mecha, charged towards the War Judicator from the left at a very fast speed. Although the Gluttony mecha was already incredibly large, it looked like a mouse compared to the War Judicator. Su Mo felt like he was charging towards a behemoth.

In an instant, the Gluttony mecha and Silver Wing simultaneously crashed into the massive energy barrier.

*Bang!*

The Gluttony mecha and Silver Wing were directly repelled.

Lin Ming and the others immediately roared.

"Attack!"

Everyone controlled their mechas to launch a ranged attack!

Instantly, a sky full of beams and missiles struck, but they were all completely blocked by the energy barrier around the War Judicator.

"Is that all the attack you've got? Foolish invaders, disappear!"

Artificial Intelligence · Black Universe spoke in a deep voice.

The massive War Judicator moved its sixty-four energy-gathering light cannons, simultaneously attacking Su Mo and the others!

Dozens of light beams fired out at once.

Su Mo controlled Gluttony to dodge immediately!

*Rumble!*

Terrifying explosions erupted continuously, and large areas of the metal ground were blasted away!

The terrifying shockwave only grazed the Gluttony mecha, causing its AT field barrier to twist continuously.

Not to mention the others.

Comrades who were unable to dodge in time were instantly engulfed in explosions before they could even cry out, and their mechas were completely shattered.

"Damn it! Increase the distance, and flank around to the back and sides!"

Witke, who was lucky enough to dodge the attack, roared loudly, still shaken.

Immediately, many mechas scattered, attacking from the sides and rear, firing beams and missiles at its barrier, but to no avail.

Qian Chengxue turned her head and saw this scene, biting her lip until blood seeped out. She desperately controlled Silver Wing, flapping its wings and flying towards the War Judicator, opening its mouth and firing a Pollock beam.

*Rumble!*

A huge explosion spread across the energy barrier, but the entire screen remained motionless.

On the other hand, the red electronic eyes of the War Judicator's central recessed head rotated and locked onto Qian Chengxue.

Immediately after!

*Click!*

The launch ports on its body opened up, revealing black missiles.

*Shu shu!*

Missiles rained down.

Qian Chengxue's heart jumped, and she controlled Silver Wing to fly upwards as fast as possible. The black missiles quickly pursued her, and Qian Chengxue controlled Silver Wing to sweep a beam of light across them.

Instantly, the black missiles detonated.

Terrifying chain explosions swept across the area, and huge fireworks exploded.

All the black missiles were filled with highly concentrated nitrogen-based explosives.

Qian Chengxue immediately strengthened her AT field, but even so, she felt a sharp pain, and her entire mecha flew out.

Su Mo was enraged when he saw this.

"Bastard!"

The entire Gluttony mecha opened its mouth and let out a terrifying roar, its power climbing to a terrifying level, transforming into a stream of light and charging towards the War Judicator.

At this moment, the massive War Judicator finally moved, and Artificial Intelligence · Black Universe swung its huge mechanical left arm.

"Ignorant ant, Super Heavy · Crushing Fist!"

Its entire sky-covering fist slammed straight down on the Gluttony mecha.

"Su Mo, be careful!"

Karinsha shouted in horror when she saw this scene.

Lin Ming and the others heard Karinsha's shout and turned their heads, their hearts clenching!

"Dodge!"

But it was too late; the two collided.

The War Judicator's crushing fist hit Su Mo, slamming him heavily towards the ground.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the War Judicator's fist suddenly stopped abruptly. The Gluttony mecha's feet were planted on the ground, the metal ground beneath them caving in, and its huge mechanical fist was caught by the Gluttony mecha.

"This..."

Witke's eyes bulged.

Inside the cockpit, Su Mo's forehead veins bulged, and his bones cracked all over his body.

Then, Su Mo let out an angry roar, instantly erupting with power and pushing away the War Judicator's fist.

The massive War Judicator swayed back slightly, then retracted its fist.

In the next second, Su Mo controlled the Gluttony mecha to charge forward, wielding its ultra-alloy blade and slashing fiercely at the War Judicator, but it directly struck the energy shield on its body!

*Bang!*
