This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 491: Chapter 259 This Cannon’s Flair_2

Ulrich hurried to catch up.

Each one of them was of A-level life form status, moving extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, Ulrich suddenly stopped in his tracks and quickly sidestepped.

Boom!

The ground was ripped apart as Brother’s two robust thighs split the tattered metallic floorboards.

Even though neither side had yet gone all out, these metal materials were as frail as paper in front of them.

Ahead, the burly Taipo stood still, his two chunky mechanical arms twisted like pretzels, slowly repairing themselves.

"Heh..." Brother sneered with only slight scorch marks on the mecha armor’s shell, "Another ambush."

He slowly stood straight, the black mecha armor creaking, its surface black liquid energy undulating, a pressing sense of oppression coming over him with a high-pitched voice, "I’ve long wanted to tear you apart!"

"Tsk... A fully armed Brother is surprisingly strong." Ulrich was internally shocked, and after a brief assessment, he felt he was not his match either.

His superpower would have a tough time dealing with such a large chunk of metal.

"Things might be tough for Azure Dragon..." Ulrich frowned, Brother clearly came prepared, and it was uncertain whether Connet could intervene in time.

But right now, Azure Dragon’s life definitely couldn’t be threatened.

"But no rush at the moment." Ulrich contemplated, dismantling these two mechanical bodies would not be a bad thing for him and Theo.

"Will intervene when the real threat to Azure Dragon arises." He made up his mind.

During this moment of thought, the situation on the field had changed again, with Thunder and Taipo attempting to recreate the previous scene of the siege, closing in simultaneously.

Taipo, with overwhelming power, caused his mechanical punches and kicks to create tremors as he hammered into Brother’s torso, then his hands combined into one massive cannon, unleashing a dazzling blue beam, but it was deflected by a punch from Brother, tearing through the ceiling.

And Thunder, like a Phantom, created a storm of thunder around, rolling over Brother.

But this time, Brother, relying on his mecha, did not hide at all.

He just sneered coldly, his arms’ metallic fist armor roaring, a red energy flow steamed from the metal plates, like steam

Both fists suddenly raised, roaring energy coalescing on the giant fists, embracing an unstoppable force, and then slammed down toward the planetary surface.

Boom!

Suddenly, a red shockwave radiated out from him, tearing the resting area apart like paper.

The foundation was pierced through directly, causing the entire area to sink, turning into ruins again.

The ground also cracked open with crunching fissures, spreading out to form canyons.

On the periphery, the purple Energy Barrier emerged, preventing the destruction from spreading further.

Ulrich’s face darkened slightly as he withdrew, the storm of thunder in the arena directly torn apart by the red shockwave, lifting a sky full of dust.

Two figures, large and small, were flung out in sequence, clearly visible.

Their external metallic casings were badly damaged, various internal structures protruding outwards.

"How did they start fighting again?" Theo’s figure emerged next to Ulrich at some point, his brow furrowed tightly.

"I don’t know." Ulrich shook his head, unsure of how to explain.

"Where’s Azure Dragon?" Theo asked.

"Didn’t see him." Ulrich also hesitated, scanning the surroundings; this area had once again turned into ruins, the desolate planetary surface was clearly visible.

Theo’s expression grew grim.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, as if he sensed an impending disaster.

His gaze shot upward abruptly, his pupils shrinking, only to see a familiar figure hovering above, it was indeed Azure Dragon’s mecha.

The surface metallic casing, shimmering with a pale gold luster, spouting electric light, with one hand pointing toward the sky.

Above him, streams of silver nanoflow surged, forming several cannon muzzles, with the outer five muzzles rotating clockwise, the inner three counterclockwise.

Eight dark muzzles had already formed, each twinkling with different energy glows.

"Eight Guns!?"

Theo’s face changed dramatically, his hand already on Ulrich’s shoulder.

Then almost turning into an imperceptibly fine black shadow, he floated away from the spot.

"What?"

Ulrich was puzzled, only feeling a blur before his eyes, his vision infinitely retracting, and before he could react, he vaguely saw that pale gold figure in the sky pointing downwards.

Immediately afterward, a dazzling Energy Light Column descended from the sky.

No, not just one!

There are many!

"Who’s fighting again?"

From afar, Sandro cursed as he got up from the rubble, dusting off the debris and looking up to see several sky-piercing columns of light descending.

"What is that?"

He barely had this thought when his vision was engulfed in blinding whiteness.

In the center of the field, Brother sneered to himself, feeling incredibly satisfied, as he finally got his revenge with a slap.

If he had been slapped by a life form of the same level or by a more powerful one, he wouldn’t have minded it for so long.

But the issue was, those two mechanical bodies only succeeded due to their surprise attack; they weren’t that strong in themselves.

This made the humiliation even more unbearable, and remembering it always brought a sense of suffocation, even feeling that others looked at him differently.

Today, he finally got his revenge!

He was just about to press on and crush those two mechanical bodies completely, allowing them no chance to repair or recuperate.

However, the combat system inside the mecha suddenly started blaring endlessly.

"Warning, excessive energy burst detected, please evade..." The warning hadn’t even finished playing.

Immediately after, "High alert! Warning! Excessive energy strike imminent, please raise defenses!"

"What strike?" Brother was puzzled, the warning came too abruptly, he didn’t even have time to think.

But instinctively, he looked up and his face turned to horror as the dazzling light pillar filled his view before engulfing him.

Brother was slammed to the ground, feeling the terrible force bearing down on him.

Instinctively propping himself up, his mind was in horror, his eyes filled with rage.

He had not yet deployed, he still had combat capability, he...

Faster than his own unwillingness was the surging energy, pressing heavily on him, and he faintly felt his back melting, intense pain sweeping through his nerves.

"It’s much easier than I imagined." Li Ming looked down, although eight guns were floating around him, only the five external ones had fired.

The three internal ones were just for distraction.

The energy colors were different; Torch Organization was missing three main guns on their end, while he had three extra ones on his side, and the energy signatures were quite similar, which inevitably could cause suspicion.

Although according to his estimates, Torch Organization would only notice something was wrong with the main guns during trial runs, precautions had to be taken to avoid unexpected issues.

The sneak attack was simpler than he thought, because his main gun’s barrage wasn’t preceded by the warship’s main gun locking signal.

Brother’s mecha wouldn’t be able to issue a preemptive warning, it could only warn when it detected the close proximity of the energy, but by then it was too late.

His main gun attack didn’t require a long time to charge energy.

A continuous pour of energy, the thickest of which was the golden light column, came from Sunshine Split Star.

Energy light columns struck the same spot, energy flowing endlessly, the high temperature distorting air, and the energy waves burst forth, lifting the ground.

It even formed an ever-expanding energy ball, with the chain reactions not exploding immediately, which was even more alarming.

The rippling energy ball expanded, the ground around its edge piling up, touching one side’s purple Energy Barrier, causing more intense energy ripples to emerge.

"I don’t know if it can tear through this Energy Barrier, or if it’ll implode later." Li Ming looked down, suddenly a bit worried.

The purple Energy Barrier confined the explosion’s power in this area, its power might be a bit greater than expected.

Energy does not recognize its master, if it hits him, it’ll hurt just the same.

But in the next moment, the surrounding purple barriers suddenly disappeared.

Li Ming smirked and, in a flash, flew higher up.

Several seconds later, the last trace of the energy brilliance fell.

Boom!!!

With a tremendous noise, Li Ming at this height had entered the vacuum zone, where he could hear nothing, and had to fill in the blanks with imagination.

The multicolored energy sphere exploded with immense force, the energy waves swiftly spread, lifting a kilometer-high wall of dust and ash from the ground, dispersing light and heat.

Nearby, the surface of Torch Organization’s main base manifested a flickering layer of purple light, unstable and uncertain.

And upon the desolate planet’s surface, the relentless explosions spread rapidly, fissuring the ground, forming wide canyon-like cracks, which from the distant orbit looked like deep scars.
