Shadows of the Deep Space

Suddenly, the projected video cuts off, revealing rows upon rows of endless bio-pods entering one’s view.

Inside each bio-pod, a cloned soldier is immersed.

These cloned soldiers, although not comparable to those in the Void Legion, are each remarkably strong.

“Alright, my soldiers, awaken.”

Following the Emperor’s command, countless bio-pods began to expel the nutrient liquid.

Scarlet eyes opened one after another.

Deep inside wormhole space-time.

The VI Generation Mecha·Purgatory Blade (modified), standing 120 meters tall with a gryphon-like metal head, its body made of rare red metal, covered in complex patterns, with a circular red light embedded in its chest, sharp metal claws shimmering eerily, a scarlet metal blade strapped at its waist, a sun emblem imprinted on its chest, six pairs of dark red metal wings embedded at its back, exuding a chilling aura, flew rapidly from the distant starry sky.

Inside the cockpit.

Kroos said to Pamie.

“Are you sure we’re heading in the right direction? I haven’t seen anything so far.”

“Yes, the Forbidden God Abyss is just ahead!”

Pamie rasped, speaking to Kroos.

“Have you been here before?”

Kroos asked, his eyes flashing.

“Hmph, more than once! Back in the day, when the Federation waged war against the Chilami and the Mechanical Clan, a battle broke out near the Forbidden God Abyss.”

Pamie said to Kroos.

Kroos was about to speak when he suddenly witnessed a breathtaking scene.

In the distance, a bottomless void appeared in the starry sky, all black and empty inside, like an endless abyss that swallowed everything, including light, without mercy,

The entire void was strikingly similar to the entrance to the Abyss of Descent, but their scale was not on the same level.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, this void had grown larger than before.

Kroos instinctively felt extreme danger and said to Pamie.

“Is this the Forbidden God Abyss?”

“Yes, back then Herares Clan Leader and Chilami Clan Leader forcibly entered here, seeking the Divine Artifact within. Later, Dragon String Council President pursued them with the Dark Star Emperor and the Fanluo God Emperor into the abyss, and the three sides fought fiercely for the Divine Artifact within. Ultimately, Dragon String won and came out with the Divine Artifact and numerous Primordial Stones, leading to today’s Federation!”

Pamie looked at the Forbidden God Abyss, speaking with complex emotions.

“So that’s how it is. But I’m really curious, what was that Divine Artifact that drove the two clan leaders mad, even leading the Dark Star Emperor and Fanluo God Emperor to rebel against the Federation?”

Kroos asked with great curiosity.

“You don’t need to know that. Hurry up and go!”

Pamie had no intention of telling Kroos.

“Are you sure we should go down? Just because Dragon String and the others survived, doesn’t mean we can too. This Forbidden God Abyss is probably not just ordinarily dangerous.”

Kroos lit a cigarette and took a puff.

“There’s no choice despite the danger. Although this Purgatory Blade has been modified significantly by me, enhancing its performance substantially, it’s far from enough! And Herares Clan Leader has been keeping an eye on me, so I don’t have enough materials to craft a top-tier VI Generation Mecha. You now have to take a risk to retrieve the Primordial Stone, and if fate leads you to perish within, so be it!”

Pamie did not assure Kroos that they could come back alive.

“Alright, where do we enter?”

Kroos smiled a little.

“Follow the flight path I’ve provided, gradually entering! Though the Forbidden God Abyss is shrouded in darkness and void, with hardly any celestial bodies or matter inside, any discovered matter is bound to be precious!”

Pamie spoke to Kroos.

“Understood!”

Kroos maneuvered the Purgatory Blade slowly inward.

Starlight City·K17 District.

Inside a grand villa’s luxurious hall.

Xinlad marched in like an enraged lion, followed by Naz and others with very unpleasant expressions.

The maids in the hall saw Xinlad’s furious face and lowered their heads nervously.

Then Xinlad walked to the guest table in the hall, pressing his hands on it, with a twisted expression, then abruptly flipped the entire table over.

Bang~

The table hit the ground, smashing various crystal teaware to pieces.

The maids on site were terrified, kneeling in fear, not daring to lift their heads.

“Sir, please calm down!”

Naz and others hurriedly tried to soothe.

“Calm down for what? I’ve had enough! How many credits have I earned for the Federation, how much effort have I put in, and yet? How does the Federation repay me? The two generals’ positions, and I have none! Su Ming taking one, fine, since that guy’s truly a freak. But Mo Xiu? Why does he get to be selected as a general!!!”

Xinlad exclaimed, gritting his teeth.

Although he’s greatly annoyed by Su Ming, he’s studied Su Ming’s data and reviewed his historical battle achievements.

This guy truly is a monster, exceptionally strong.

Especially when he singlehandedly faced Sakari Captain, Asya Captain, and Kroos at once—that’s no joke!

He asked himself and knew he couldn’t manage the same.

“Sir, the final selection was certainly unfair.”

Naz said with gritted teeth.

“These bastards claim fairness and justice on the surface, but where is it? Mo Xiu may have achieved great merit, but the VI Generation Mecha·Thunder Angel he drives overshadows the Fake VI Generation Mechas attacking him. Give me Thunder Angel, and I could just as well defeat them, perhaps even more impressively!”
