Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy
Chapter 666 - 439: Why Has It Come?

Brilliant light shone through the clouds, growing brighter and brighter as if a source of light was rapidly approaching the clouds...

The next second, everyone in the surveillance room held their breath.

"What is that?"

As the light finally penetrated the clouds, an officer in the surveillance room muttered in a daze, yet no one could answer him, and everyone's hearts seemed to be heavily struck at that moment.

Like starlight spears thrown by a massive infantry unit, but magnified several times in size and terrifyingly dense.

Light Spear Rain!

That pure and intense white brought the most terrifying lethal effect within the next second.

Only when these light spears contacted the suicide fighter jets below the clouds did their effect become apparent.

This was a weapon of pure destruction!

Boom, boom, boom, boom—in the sky, the tops of the Shura Mechas had turned into a sea of flames.

The light spears, unimpeded by the suicide fighter jets, caused a wide range of severe explosions in the air and even faint distortions were visible from below.

Yet, these light spears remained unaffected by the explosions of the suicide jets and slightly adjusted their trajectory before continuing to fall in an umbrella-like pattern.

The continuous rain of light spears enveloped the incoming Viking Fighters, then coldly passed through them again!

"Viking Fighter squadron damage at 30%, 45%...70%, 85%..."

These figures started popping up on the combat screen, making everyone's eyebrows uncontrollably twitch.

This time, finally, there were no more obstructions, and the light spears fell to the ground like raindrops.

At that moment, a brilliant rain of light fell from the sky, beautiful yet cruel.

"Enemy... attack..."

This time, no subordinate needed to report; just by seeing the flames that filled the sky, all officers knew that this unknown power could only be their enemy.

"Who is it this time? Who carried out such a large-scale attack from beyond the sky?"

Within the True Red Equipment, Ke Qingshan's gaze wavered.

The sudden pause of Shura, followed by the sudden attack.

It seemed as if everything was somehow connected, yet it remained elusive.

"Signal re-identification failed... the enemy's main body is revealed."

The communications officer manipulated the combat screen nervously, ultimately unable to successfully match the information in the Federation combat database.

However, the attacker had not the slightest intention of concealing themselves; after the rain of light spears fell, they finally emerged completely!

"A fleet!?"

This time, Major General Wang almost threw off his military cap.

"A fleet has penetrated into the atmosphere of Blue Capital Star... are they initiating a war?"

Colonel He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Even the appearance of Black Knight and Heavenly Martial Machine God had not resulted in the fleet completely breaching the atmosphere of Blue Capital Star.

If a fleet invaded the planetary defense circle on a large scale, then this event would be completely different.

This is, war.

This was a fleet that was completely black, silent, and stealthy.

The warships varied in size, and though there were only one hundred twenty, they formed an unusually tight and orderly formation, and none of their models were found in the Federation's combat database.

Among them, the most eye-catching was the huge warship in the lead!

Its design was different from all large Federation warships, with its towering rear bridge and unusually wide deck, its fierce armor cannons, and its cold, all-black paint.

What finally sent chills down the spine was the frightfully sharp, knife-shaped giant cannon at the bow of the ship! All of this silently depicted its power!

...

Just one glance was enough for Colonel He to feel his eyebrows twitch.

This ship was absolutely a war machine by nature!

As an Icebreaker Warship, constructed at the Shadow Base under the strict surveillance of Black, modeled after the Yake Empire's Casar-class Combat Barge—it was the battle mother ship, Dawn.

Finally, at this moment, it revealed itself to the world as the flagship of the Shadow Fleet.

When this dark fleet, cloaked in shadows, appeared, the sky fell into a bizarre silence.

What was the purpose of this fleet, that it dared to invade Blue Capital Star so brazenly?

"Report, Colonel, identification failed."

Qi Longxiang, with his eyes closed, heard the soldier's report and opened his eyes, coughing lightly as a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Controlling the Hidden Land Battleship for such a massive scale of ship data interfacing, repelling Black Knight and Heavenly Martial Machine God, his spiritual energy was nearly exhausted.

SS-class Mecha Bodies were never easy to handle.

Yet at this moment, he could not afford to fall, for this sudden fleet was beyond any of his predictions.

It was an unexpected turn of events!

"The other party's communications are silent."

"The engine fluctuations of the other party are unusually stable."

A series of reports kept coming in, and Qi Longxiang quietly watched the fleet above the sky dome, finally sending out an instruction.

"Initiate public port data transmission."

"Inquire about the opposing fleet's serial number."

This was a method effective in fleet battles regardless of friend or foe, but it presupposed that the parties' affiliations were clear.

The only type of fleet this method would not work on was the one lurking deep in space... the Ghost Fleet.

No serial number, no affiliation, arriving without a trace, untraceable.

If it really were the Ghost Fleet from the depths of the Outer Domain Galaxy appearing, things would truly become troublesome...

Qi Longxiang gently closed his eyes.

However, after the signal from the Hidden Land Battleship was sent, there was no response for a full five seconds.

Just as the communications soldier was about to report, two simple words appeared on their monitoring screen.

"Shadow."

This was the first time Black had spoken in this world, not for its own sake, but for the comatose, severely injured young man on the distant ground.

It was announcing to everyone in this space the rise of a new power.

When the young man awoke, he would truly feel that he was no longer alone.

Behind him would stand a fleet ever-expanding, crafted by Black.

A fleet... Shadow? Not a Ghost Fleet?

Qi Longxiang mulled over the word, as did the officers in the command room of the Federation Fleet flagship.

However, after the Federation's combat database was searched again, there was no record of any fleet named "Shadow."

"What then is the purpose of this fleet's appearance here, to declare war against the Federation?"

A sudden officer spoke out.

Yet this time, no one responded, as the rapidly changing scene in the sky truly stunned everyone.

That six-meter-tall black Shura Mecha appeared utterly insignificant before the massive Dawn Battleship, akin to an ant.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the Shadow Fleet, the engine of the Shura Mecha erupted with a terrifying roar, breaking the sound barrier again.

"What is that Mecha doing!?"
