Wang Zheng waited in the runic mech, quietly awaiting his enemy. The Primordial Regression Technique gradually restored his body to its optimal condition, but the runic mech had taken some damage in its fight with Blue Demon. Even if he was a mechanic himself, he could not repair much of the runic mech. Luckily, the mech capabilities had no issues. People could recover, but mecha could not. If only mecha were self-regenerating as well.
Of course, this was all Wang Zheng’s daydream. The other super soldier was even stronger. Yan Xiaosu had asked Wang Zheng if he was confident, and Wang Zheng had, of course, said yes. But Wang Zheng knew that this was a classic case of nine dead, one alive. In terms of ability, the game was up. X98 was his opponent and Old Zhuo had told him before that once one entered the top 100, things were completely different. He had also asked before how to deal with such a person, and Old Zhuo’s suggestion had been to run as fast as he could.
Going up against someone like this was definitely not a smart choice. But then again, how many people were smart at his age?
Wang Zheng was thinking of how to capitalize on what chance he had.
At the same time, the heavy mech troops led by Rara Durai, as well as the giant army, were extremely solemn. A battle of this scale was rare in the history of Tita Star. In the past, factional fights between the Tita people were frequent, but there were rarely large-scale fights. Because of the intellectuals’ presence, they usually used a duel to settle things. In truth, the troop’s group battle skills were not high. But each fighter would fight to the death to protect their nation.
Mu Lei surveyed the scene. The air drops had already begun. Faced with no anti-air weapons, this was easy-peasy to a commander. He had thought that the super soldier might come to intervene, but he had not appeared.
This battle was not about sending some robot troops. Those metal tin cans did not have much fighting power. This was the actual army. On the map, the giants’ city was only too obvious. This left Mu Lei amused. But luckily, everyone had the same end in mind – Tita Star wanted to fight to the death, while they wanted the mine. They did not want it overly damaged. After all, if it was ruined, they would have to spend their own money to rebuild it.
The entire space was a circulation. This was the regenerative power of the Tita people, which the military intended to destroy. After destroying their life force, the other Tita people would lose their fighting ability even if they survived, and this was beneficial to the mine’s safety as well. Mu Lei felt like this was an extra slap to the face. Such battles considered politics and economics first and foremost.
Although Facaul was bound by this battle procedure, he had agency to move as he saw fit. He had no ability to command. Both had different missions. Mu Lei had no wish to antagonize such an inhuman creature. Besides, the formation behind him was even more terrifying.
His mission was to destroy all the life force of the Tita people. If possible, to capture the Titan alive. As for the presidential palace, leave that bunch of maniacs to deal with it.
Rara Durai and the rest were extremely confident. The giants chose to believe. Now, countless giants knew that the wretched demon had been slain by Ada. This was a sign from the Titan God. The Tita people would definitely win this battle, with their god watching over them.
That was why they were unafraid of being outnumbered by enemies better than they were. The giants still believed that victory would be theirs. Even if they fought to the last man, victory would be theirs.
Lan Kui was a human fighter, and a main fighter in the younger generation of the Lan family. He had to take part in this battle, but everyone knew, including him, that this was definitely a battle they would lose. There was no hope.
Ada?
Yes, the Tita people might have some primitive worship, etc, etc, but they knew that Wang Zheng was just one person, and moreover a student. A pro in Elite Academy X, and therefore a top elite of humankind. But he was just one person. The news was classified, but Wang Zheng’s triumph over Blue Demon had not been easy. But for morale’s sake, they had to exaggerate it. Lan Kui could understand, but at the same time clearly felt the frustration.
As a fighter, he could not dread, nor escape the battle. Tita Star was not just the Tita people’s homeland, but also the Lan family’s homeland. As a part of Tita, he was willing to give his life in this battle. Even if he died, he had to send a message to the invaders that they would not be cowed!
The giants were not only unafraid of the upcoming battle. On the contrary, they were filled with fighting spirit and excitement. Perhaps battle was something engraved deep in the bones of the Tita people. The braves were brave. Besides, their god was with them. Together!
Rara Durai had already told the whole army that once the noble Ada had defeated the other demon, he would link up with them and fight together, and together they would defeat the invaders!
The giants’ belief in this was without question. If Ada could defeat one, he could definitely defeat a second. This was the news that Mu Sen had Rara Durai spread.
At that moment, Mu Sen was quietly sitting in the presidential palace. He recalled the events when Tita Star had joined the Milky Way Alliance. When the super-gravity energy ore had been discovered, he had known that this day would come sooner or later.
What was God?
In Mu Sen’s heart, it was not the superstition and backwardness that the humans voiced. Mu Sen understood human civilization, and no matter how far they developed, a considerable amount of faith and strength still endured. In the vast universe, there were many mysteries and rules that technology could not explain. Mu Sen believed that the Tita people had one of them.
If this was a disaster, then Mu Sen was willing to believe in its necessity. He was willing to follow God’s will.
When Wang Zheng had helped Rara Durai to transform into the Titan, Mu Sen had foreseen this day. And now, they were at the end. Mu Sen was obviously clear of the odds of this battle. But he believed in miracles.
A fire-red mech appeared in the airspace of the presidential palace.
Wang Zheng opened his eyes. The runic mech’s runes lit up, and it gradually floated into the air.
The two mecha faced each other. Wang Zheng piloted the runic mech at full speed out of the city. He could not make this the battlefield. If he… died, he would not want Yan Xiaosu to be witness.
In the presidential palace, Zhao Elin clutched tightly onto Yan Xiaosu. She had never seen Yan Xiaosu so helpless before, shaking like a child.
Wang Zheng had gone to war. Yan Xiaosu knew that all Wang Zheng had said were lies. He had not the slightest shred of confidence. This enemy was stronger, but he had faked his confidence. He was just a tyrant. His dreams were laid barren, but he had not expected to make it this far. Only now, each step forward seemed to give rise to more and more unimaginable things. And he was trash. He could not do more. He could only watch Wang Zheng go to war. He did not wish for himself to become a burden. He would stay behind. That was the only thing he could do.
Yesterday, Tita Star was the place where their dreams had been born. Today, it was an execution ground. Tomorrow, it might just be a graveyard.
Zhao Elin said nothing. She just hugged Yan Xiaosu. She did not understand the situation well, and only knew that Tita Star was currently being invaded. Perhaps she would die here. But if this was fated, then she would face it with a smile.
And far away in the Solar System, Ye Zisu, Xiao Fei, and the rest did not know about these events. They were still carrying on with their busy lives.
At Elite Academy X, Ai Xiaolu and Luo Er sat facing each other wordlessly. Both waited in silence.
Some things would forever remain as secrets to everyone else, but they alone would know. Everything was prepared, save the wind. On one outcome alone rested the direction of the future.
Thinking of Aina, Ai Xiaolu suddenly found it funny. If one day Aina remembered, but realized that Wang Zheng had already died, and at the hands of the Aslan Empire, what would be her expression then?
Ai Xiaolu had never shown her weaker side in front of others. Regardless of whether it was Luo Er, or Lin Huiyin. Only with Aina had she felt powerless. On this point alone, she had come out ahead of Aina. At Wang Zheng’s greatest moment of danger, she was here, and not on the other side.
No matter how long, she would wait.
The two super soldiers chased and fought. They left the city at high speed. Facaul frowned. Was this guy trying to stall for time?
That was meaningless. They had run far enough. Facaul started to increase his speed. With a violent twist, he blocked the path forward, and both mecha halted. This push had fully demonstrated his power.
“That’s about far enough. The hills are green, the water clear. It’s a good enough grave for you,” Facaul said coldly.
