Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Secret Technique - Body Turns, Head Does Not

[What the heck?!]

[Yokai versus Gundam?]

[Robots fighting Kaidan?]

Shocked comments flooded the live stream room, but at this moment, Feng Xue had no intention of explaining to the viewers. He simply and calmly turned on the cockpit camera, linked it with the unmanned live stream device, and, as the cockpit scene appeared on the live stream split-screen, he pressed the power button on the onboard computer with the standard indifferent expression of an ACE pilot. Immediately, the mechanical and monotone voice of "World" echoed—

"Voice recognition starting, please recite the identification number in Yan Country’s standard dialect after the ’beep.’"

[Holy crap!]

[Is the streamer also a pilot?]

[Goodness, Yan Country’s not only about martial arts, but they also have Gundams!]

[Damn, isn’t the thing about Yan Country having Gundams just a meme?]

The comments streamed, while Feng Xue kept a straight face and said in perfect standard dialect:

"WL-337299."

"Identity confirmed, welcome to pilot this machine, AI World at your service. The machine is currently under attack, suggested immediate combat mode."

"Enter rapid response mode, set shield shutdown countdown to 5 seconds."

"Understood, rapid response mode engaged, double feedback: 5, shield shutdown countdown 4, 3..."

Despite the barrage of confusing terminology, even those clueless about the situation quickly got into the mood. Mecha enthusiasts and military fans instantly went wild, filling the screen with discussions on terminology and the technology of the machine’s internal structure.

Meanwhile, on the live stream’s main screen, the machine’s outer shield suddenly faded. The tengu, which had been attacking the shield, hadn’t reacted yet, only to be kicked away by the machine’s gigantic foot.

Then, the two square structures on the machine’s head suddenly opened. Before the viewers could guess what they were, a series of gunshots rang out, and tracer bullets sprayed out from the openings, targeting the circle of the void in front of the shrine where stories were being recited.

The Kaidan Fire was hard to destroy, and so was the ritual, but the void was fragile. If they couldn’t gather a hundred void storytellers, the ritual would naturally be interrupted.

However, just then, a one-horned demoness with a robust physique, roughly wrapped in animal skins, charged forward. Her body kept enlarging as she ran, like a wall, blocking the circle of the void.

Blocking dozens of bullets with her physique, she suddenly swung her arm with force, and as the waves surged, a wall of light also emerged, blocking all the bullets.

[This demon’s chest muscles are seriously exaggerated!]

As all the comments turned raunchy, Feng Xue glanced at the constantly appearing comments and felt a bit relieved. At least with the current setup, the "Identity" the viewers would provide to the demoness would probably lean more toward the lewd side, so there’s no worry about any sudden burst seeds.

Drawing the combat knife from "World’s" combat skirt, Feng Xue swung the knife while glancing at the opponent’s entry and frowned:

"Hoshiguma Tongzi? A woman? Is it due to the influence of anime culture?"

As the thought crossed his mind, he began thinking about how this thing was ultimately defeated, but couldn’t recall anything.

After all, it’s an Eastern Country legend. He knew the main and deputy leaders of Mt. Oe were Shuten and Cimu, but beyond that, he wasn’t familiar with. He knew Hoshiguma Tongzi only thanks to Hoshiguma Yuugi and heavy-duty Hoshigumas.

"But since it’s a ghost, it’s basically standard to have great strength and a fondness for drinking and challenges, right?"

Feng Xue muttered to himself, then quickly pulled the control lever. Although his hand movements were slight, the machine swung the knife dramatically.

The vibrating knife tip clashed with the barrier Hoshiguma Tongzi had raised, creating a screeching friction sound accompanied by sparks.

Hoshiguma Tongzi, facing such an attack, surprisingly gave a provocative smile. She left only one hand holding the shield while the other hand suddenly reached for "World’s" wrist.

However, a double feedback of 5 meant the machine could act at five times the pilot’s reaction speed. Before the hand was halfway out, the machine driven by Feng Xue had decisively retreated.

Just then, from the machine’s shadow cast by the faint candlelight under the night, a black ghost hand suddenly emerged, its size even longer than the machine’s total length.

After a slight pause in the comments, a belated [Watch out] flooded the screen, but by then, Feng Xue had already dodged again.

This time, he wasn’t attacked by Shuten, or rather, all of Shuten’s power was focused on maintaining this entire Mt. Oe.

Although he didn’t know the capabilities of this virtual thing, which was almost like an innate barrier, Feng Xue thought it wasn’t just for blocking missiles and summoning tengu.

Watching Cimu Tongzi and Hoshiguma Tongzi, who were taller than the machine, Feng Xue’s lips slightly curled up. Exploiting their reluctance to move far from the ritual site, he pulled back, and said to the AI:

"World, mode change, fighting mode, initiate."

"Understood, fighting mode loading, double feedback adjusted to 1, cockpit transforming..."

The mechanized synthesized voice executed the order faithfully. The viewers, who were curious about the double feedback and cockpit principles, got their answer.

The cockpit, which seemed a bit cramped, suddenly started transforming. What was previously dark in the cockpit now completely lit up.

The seat suddenly contracted back, and Feng Xue, fixed by locks on his limbs, chest, abdomen, and neck, shifted from a sitting to a standing position. He slightly flexed his body, and the main view of the machine synchronized with his movements.

Simultaneously, an opening on the machine’s shoulder back suddenly unfolded, a golden cape flaring out in the night wind, adding a touch of antiquity to the otherwise modern machine.

Feng Xue used the Yellow Robe Eighteen Falls technique to flick the cape, adopting a fighting stance, and the original bgm for the Angel Envoy switched to a Cantonese song full of martial arts spirit.

Instantly, amidst the cries of "Masaka" from countless Gundam fans experiencing a déjà vu, Feng Xue shouted:

"Super, King, Movie, Bullet!"

As the live stream was flooded with growing grass, the machine wrapped in the cape spewed a pale pink energy stream. Between the flow of gold and pink, it transformed into a fifteen-meter diameter light sphere rolling rapidly across Mt. Oe.

The entire expanse was filled with tengu that were easily blasted apart amidst screams. Initially thinking the move was aimed at her, Hoshiguma Tongzi’s face turned dark, and she immediately said to the one-armed ghost beside her:

"Throw me over there!"

"Got it!"

Cimu Tongzi instantly understood Hoshiguma Tongzi’s intention. A black shadow ghost hand emerged from the ground, grabbing the over fifteen-meter-tall horned Hoshiguma Tongzi, and with a tremendous-looking force, hurled her towards the super-system machine with its head turned away.

The art style was extremely offbeat...
