Shadows of the Deep Space

Boom~

A black sun flickering with arcs of lightning rose, an incredibly terrifying explosion engulfing the Dark Star Emperor, causing the entire region to collapse with a bang.

At this moment, Mo Xiu controlled the Thunder Angel to appear in the distance, watching the massive explosion, his chest heaving with breaths.

When the explosion ended, only to see the Dark Star Emperor maneuvering the Lord of Death slowly emerging. Its mechanical body wasn’t severely damaged, the energy barrier had shattered but absorbed most of the damage.

“What other tricks do you have?”

The Emperor spoke with disdain.

Mo Xiu took a deep breath, his spirit bracing.

The virtual interface instantly popped up with virtual prompts.

“Genetic device initiated · Awaiting activation!”

“Please activate!”

…

The left armrest of the Thunder Angel’s pilot seat cracked open, revealing a very small circular device. Without any hesitation, Mo Xiu removed the symbiotic armor covering his left thumb and pressed it on the needle.

Along with a drop of red blood dripping into the genetic device.

Alerts popped up one after another.

“Genetic identification successful!”

“Genetic device activated successfully.”

…

Zizizi~

The VI-type Mecha·Thunder Angel, its whole body emerged with special red circuits, culminating at the chest, soon the entire mecha emitted violent red lightning.

In an instant, the whole Thunder Angel seemed completely elementalized, the halo above its head reappearing, spreading red light, distorting the surrounding space completely.

“Genetic Lock! Lord Mo Xiu has activated the strongest state.”

Reporter Lin Qi, witnessing this scene, excitedly exclaimed.

“Lord Mo Xiu, mighty!”

“Look, the Dark Star Emperor hasn’t activated the genetic lock!”

“This guy is overconfident!”

“Lord Mo Xiu, take him down quickly!”

…

The citizens of Sky Dome City, witnessing this scene, were frantically spamming in the live stream.

The Dark Star Emperor looked at the Thunder Angel with the genetic lock activated, showing no intention of activating his own.

Mo Xiu raised his head, locking onto the Dark Star Emperor, instantly controlling the Thunder Angel to transform into a ray of lightning filled with destruction, cutting through the dark starry sky attacking the Lord of Death, raising the Thunder Pattern Blade in his hand violently slashing forward.

“Thunder Judgment!”

“Good timing! One-hit kill!”

The Dark Star Emperor maneuvered the Lord of Death, going full throttle, wielding the Withered Blade fiercely to slash back.

The two collided together.

The huge arc of red lightning accompanied by a terrifying impact splashed everywhere.

The Thunder Angel and Lord of Death fell into a stalemate in the starry sky.

The Dark Star Emperor’s scarlet eyes lit up, suddenly controlling the Lord of Death to explode with power, sweeping the Thunder Angel away with a strike.

“How is this possible?”

Mo Xiu quickly steadied the mech, looking at the Dark Star Emperor in astonishment, speaking in disbelief.

If the Dark Star Emperor had also activated the genetic lock, the Thunder Angel losing would not have made Mo Xiu react so greatly.

But now, with the Dark Star Emperor not activating the genetic lock, the Thunder Angel still lost.

Inside Dawn Hall.

Farren City Lord stood up directly from his chair, his entire face turning red as he spoke.

“How could this happen? The Thunder Angel activated the genetic lock and still couldn’t win?”

“Calm down, the Emperor’s mech has been specially modified, its performance long surpassed what it was back then, it’s not surprising this happened.”

Long Bai spoke in a deep voice.

“Damn it!”

Farren replied in extreme frustration.

At this moment, the entire live stream room of the Black Flame Star Defense Line was filled with countless bullet comments.

“Did I see that wrong?”

“Lord Mo Xiu actually couldn’t win!”

“What’s going on?”

“Aren’t the Thunder Angel and Lord of Death mechas of the same level?”

“Back during the expedition, weren’t their performances almost the same?”

“How is there such a big gap now?”

“What should we do now?”

…

“Haha, you pathetic mechas, daring to challenge our Emperor? Simply overestimating yourselves.”

“Long live the Emperor!”

…

The many citizens of the Dark Star Empire spoke joyfully.

At this moment, the Dark Star Emperor controlling the Lord of Death, looked at Mo Xiu with disdain and said.

“I am truly disappointed, such a good mech wasted, it seems the new generation of the Federation is just at this level, really without successors.”

“Arrogant!”

Mo Xiu controlled the Thunder Angel accumulating violent thunder energy, a beam flickering with arcs of lightning blasted towards the Dark Star Emperor.

The Dark Star Emperor maneuvered the Lord of Death sharply dodging the attack, then fiercely followed the beam attacking Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu suddenly controlled the Thunder Angel to meet again.

The two collided once more.

The massive impact swept across, the Dark Star Emperor controlling the Lord of Death went full throttle, forcing the Thunder Angel into retreat step by step.

“Foolish, trying several more times will yield the same outcome.”

“Is that so? Thunder Purgatory!”

Mo Xiu instantly controlled the Thunder Angel to unleash its power, the red thunder screen spreading out.

In an instant, the Lord of Death was engulfed by red lightning.

Crackle!

The entire Lord of Death flickered with red electric arcs.

At this moment, Mo Xiu manipulated the Thunder Angel to vanish into thin air, and then reappear on the right side of the Dark Star Emperor.

The Dark Star Emperor noticed this immediately and was about to rotate his mecha and slash with the Withered Blade in his hand.

However, he found that the mecha was delayed, forcing him to switch from attack to defense.

Clang!

Mo Xiu swung his Thunder Pattern Blade, crackling with terrifying arcs, striking the Withered Blade. The ferocious lightning then spread along the Withered Blade, covering the Lord of Death.

Crackle!

In an instant, a series of red warning boxes popped up on the Dark Star Emperor’s operation interface.

“Warning: CK-12 circuit abnormal.”

…

The Dark Star Emperor’s face twisted into a menacing smile, commanding the Lord of Death to unleash explosive power. Countless grey corrupt auras spread out, engulfing the entire area and swallowing up both combatants.

Crackle~

Within the grey corrupt fog, thunder and lightning roared!

A few dozen seconds later.

Boom~

The Thunder Angel was suddenly knocked back, flying out of the grey corrupt fog.

Mo Xiu forced himself to stabilize the Thunder Angel, lifting his head to gaze at the grey corrupt aura.

Emerging gradually from within the aura, the imposing figure of the Lord of Death appeared.

Both entered a standoff under the starry sky.

“Interesting! I hope you can last a bit longer in the next battle. Don’t die too quickly!”

The Dark Star Emperor twisted his neck, speaking excitedly.

“It’s not certain who will die yet!”

Mo Xiu was not afraid. Instead, he manipulated the Thunder Angel to charge straight at the Dark Star Emperor.

…

—————————–

Defense Zone 2 of the Nether Moon Star Defense Line.

Adimo’s crimson eyes instantly locked onto Hayes.

Swish swish!

A sky full of beams rained down on the White Swan like a storm.

Facing the overwhelming attack, Hayes didn’t panic at all. He controlled the White Swan to gracefully dodge the attack, passing through the gaps between beams to directly strike Adimo, then slashed at its body.

Crack!

Adimo’s body was cut open with a ghastly wound, revealing the writhing biological tissues inside.

“Bastard!”

Adimo was in pain and immediately controlled his tentacles to swarm aggressively toward the White Swan.

Successfully hitting, Hayes then executed a Light Speed Fold Flash and vanished.

Adimo’s attack missed, and Hayes reappeared in the distant starry sky.

In a rage, Adimo rushed towards Hayes.

Hayes’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he raised his hand with a wave.

A mass of defensive weapons on defense line 2 locked onto Adimo.

Swish!

A rain of missiles and beams covered Adimo like a storm.

Boom boom boom~

Blinding suns and fireworks swallowed Adimo whole.

When the explosion ended, Adimo appeared extremely battered, with seaweed tentacles blasted to shreds.

Hayes immediately manipulated the White Swan to charge straight at Adimo.

Within Defense Zone 4.

Milk flapped its wings, ferociously striking at Angulat, slashing with a claw.

Angulat manipulated his mecha to retreat sharply, as swarms of Water Jelly suicide drones attacked Milk like a swarm of bees.

“Hmph, do you really think such tricks will work on me?”

Milk instantly exploded with power, emitting terrifying electric arcs across its whole body.

Boom boom boom~

Countless Water Jelly drones exploded in a chain reaction.

However, the next second, a series of sub-light-speed nuclear bombs passed through the explosion, heading towards Milk.

“Damn it!”

Milk’s expression changed; just as he attempted to dodge, it was already a bit late!

Boom boom boom~

Blinding suns rose one after another.

Milk was blasted away in disgrace.

When he barely stabilized himself, Angulat rushed in with the Divine Warrior, aiming a fierce slash at Milk.

Mikel hastily raised his claw to block, immediately pressed by Angulat’s assault.

…

At this moment, numerous war correspondents were watching the battlefield, reporting with enthusiasm.

“Everyone look! The Nether Moon Star Defense Line is holding!

“Our heroic soldiers are counterattacking those evil monsters and adversaries!”

…

“That’s great!”

“Admiral Su Ming, General Angulat, Admiral Hayes are amazing!”

“Go on! Defeat them!”

….

Countless citizens cheered in excitement as they watched the real-time reports from the war correspondents.
