Chapter 613: Chapter 387 From now on, I will be your nightmare
(Congratulations to the new “Purple Lightning Raven” protector!)
“With the characteristics of the Extreme Special Soldier and Flame Rain Frost Blue, I believe there’s still a fighting chance,” Mu Fan said with a frown.
“That’s against ordinary mechas, but what about the AAA-class mecha from Lan Du Military Group–the Sky-splitting Bird? You’ve seen it; it’s a dual-purpose land and air mecha. They’ve incorporated a transformation system they developed themselves. When it enters air combat mode, tell me, what can the Extreme Special Soldier use to attack?”
“Definitely long-range weapons. If the Meteor 3 engine can operate, then activating the gravity field shouldn’t be a problem… I know all that. The key issue is… I don’t know how to use a gun!” Mu Fan felt like he was going to go insane. How many times was Black going to force him to admit it before giving up?
“You don’t know how? That’s okay, your lordship does,” Black suddenly said, as if it were a matter of course, leaving Mu Fan speechless.
“Are you saying you’ll control this weapon when the time comes?”
“That’s right. Otherwise, it would really be a waste of such good firearms. I estimate that Loki Heavy Industry has put half of their profit from the past few years into these two mechas. Wang Ji is truly remarkable, with the determination to stake everything. Your lordship admires such a helmsman who is willing to invest in scientific research. In the interstellar era, technology is the true power,” Black said, filled with emotion.
Wait, off-topic.
Seeing that Black was about to divert the conversation, Mu Fan forcibly steered it back.
“You never mentioned you could control the mecha’s firing system before, did you?”
“I haven’t said so, but that doesn’t mean your lordship can’t,” Black replied with confidence.
Hearing Black’s justified reply, Mu Fan suddenly choked on his words.
Such sound logic!
He was unexpectedly at a loss for words in response to Black’s answer.
“The long-range weapons you’ve been in contact with are just those low-level rapid fire guns, which are basically useless against Warrior-class mechas. Your lordship also has no interest in controlling those. But now it’s different, this gun really intrigues me, and the armor-piercing bombs made of Acabert alloy code C, be it the Lightning Bird or any other opponent… your lordship will make sure they never forget,” Black declared, eager for battle.
A smile appeared on Mu Fan’s face at Black’s words filled with fighting spirit.
“Good.”
With a single word, he approved Black’s battle plan.
Amidst the curious gazes of a few, the Extreme Special Soldier arrived at the designated position, within a spherical shield, carrying a red firearm and a heavy sword, holding a metal long case.
71 mechas formed a huge ring.
Each mecha had its own exclusive area, and in the center of this large ring was Jin Ruisi, full of fighting spirit.
He held the microphone high, then brought it to his mouth, “Warriors, your presence here, in the spotlight, is the best testament to your strength. Next, we will proceed with this Mecha Combat Tournament’s only large-scale group battle. From among you, 36 mechas will emerge victorious and ascend to the Iron Throne, entering the top 36 of this competition.”
“The special timing of the Throne Contention dictates that it cannot be conducted as a regular fight. Therefore, I hope that all Mechanical Masters will listen closely to the rules of the competition. Please refer to the public channel for the written content afterwards,” Jin Ruisi continued.
Finally, we’re getting to the good stuff. Not just the Mechanical Masters present, but also the spectators straightened up in their seats.
It’s not a 1v1 battle, and they were really looking forward to it.
Would there be a large-scale brawl?
Such a scenario would surely be unprecedentedly magnificent.
Mu Fan perked up his ears, clenching and unclenching his hands.
Lan Du Military Group had only one mecha left, and this time he was determined to crush their last hope–before reaching the top 36!
As the impassioned voice continued, a huge display also lit up above the Sky Mother Ship.
Countless camera lenses and eyes focused on this spot.
[Mecha Combat Throne Contention] The rules are as follows:
In the vast expanse of the Land of Bright Star, thousands of kilometers away from the previous arena, there are 36 similarly sized bowl-shaped valleys. In each valley, there is an Iron Throne installed.
Thirty-six Iron Thrones, with a special activation device each.
The accompanying activation device is called the Throne Key, which each mecha keeps after obtaining it.
The throne is placed at the deepest part of each valley, and before it is occupied, the valley’s protection device remains off, allowing anyone to enter.
However, once a mecha occupies it, only one person can enter the valley at a time, and it closes after the challenger enters.
Methods to Obtain the Throne Key:
First, the one who arrives while the throne is unoccupied acquires it.
Second, defeat the holder; life and death don’t matter in this battle.
Third, the holder may voluntarily surrender it, and once the opponent surrenders the mecha, further attacks are forbidden; actively killing a surrendering opponent will result in disqualification.
All three methods will grant the right of ownership of the throne.
Time limit for the contest: 3 hours.
Within 180 minutes, for every minute the throne is occupied, one point is added; points will be updated in real-time on the public channel, please choose your challengers wisely.
The 36 mecha with the highest final score will automatically advance.
[Special Explanation: Indiscriminate fighting is permitted outside the Throne Valley, please choose wisely!]
The light and shadow subtitles displayed the words in sync with Jin Ruisi’s voice, and when the last sentence was spoken, many felt their hearts speed up momentarily.
These rules seemed humane at first glance, but they reeked of cruelty.
After Jin Ruisi finished speaking, he didn’t say more, leaving time for the 71 Mechanical Masters to digest the rules.
The scene fell into an unusual silence for a time.
That last special explanation, “indiscriminate fighting, choose at your own will.”
The implication was that the officials were not restricting the killing, so to climb onto that Iron Throne, even more mecha would opt to fight desperately.
After all, there was only this one chance!
“Now, please, each participant, enter your own exclusive transport ship to prepare for the airdrop.”
Thunderous cheers erupted as elevators appeared around the deck, and silver-and-white intermingled ships appeared before each mecha.
An inner ring of ships neatly appeared.
Mu Fan looked at the ship’s hull, painted with the Interstellar Mecha Association insignia, his eyes narrowing.
He glanced down at his left shoulder, his gaze calm yet frosty.
Beneath the pilot’s suit was a wound close to healing, thanks to Bai’s Special Medicine, Molten Magma Fruit, and an exceptional physical constitution, which ultimately bestowed him with this remarkable healing ability.
But those three shots, Mu Fan always kept them in mind.
Mu Fan looked up at the combat screen; opposite his mecha was a streamlined model glowing with a pearly white sheen, its three pairs of mecha wings symmetrically raised on its back.
Beneath the gorgeous exterior, the head of that mecha was aimed precisely at him.
On the body of the mecha, a distinct insignia signified its affiliation–[Lan Du Military Group].
Closing his eyes and reopening them, Mu Fan’s expression had returned to normal.
Yet a smile appeared, as the Extreme Special Soldier raised its right hand with fingers together, then gently bent them towards his own neck in a slicing motion.
When the hand paused in front of the mecha’s neck, it slowly drew across.
The gesture was exceptionally brutal beneath that cold mechanical exterior.
A throat-cutting gesture!
Soon, it would all be over.
From now on, I am your nightmare.
