Jin Quan Ao Tian stared intently at the holographic display, a grin stretching across his lips. "I've been cooped up for days, finally time for a real war! Brother Shen, watch me perform later!"
Shen Jingming calmly reminded him, "First, ascertain their intentions."
The Black Hell and Sky Devouring Golden Armor swiftly flew above the mechs, observing the low-flying craft.
"It really is a Black Star fleet!" Jin Quan Ao Tian shouted excitedly. Suddenly, he spotted two non-Black Star Empire mechs at the forefront of the Black Star fleet, moving at high speed.
Shen Jingming squinted and murmured, "Is that… Wang Shang Meng?"
Indeed, the mech system responded to Shen Jingming's query.
Wang Shang Meng's Qilong 003 and a large crimson mech from Mega Gong, both units unleashed their maximum propulsion flames, escaping the encirclement of the pursuing Black Star fleet!
Without delay, Shen Jingming decisively ordered, "Jin Quan! Go!!"
"Hahahaha!!!" Jin Quan Ao Tian laughed heartily, piloting his mech to dive towards the Black Star fleet. "Special Skill!! Heavenly Golden Spear Formation!!!"
Mid-dive, the Sky Devouring Golden Armor suddenly generated three illusory golden clones.
All four mechs unleashed myriad wisps of golden light, charging into the enemy formation like four golden meteors descending upon the world!
As soon as they stabilized, the golden light on all four golden mechs straightened and rapidly expanded outwards!
Any enemy Black Star mechs that touched the golden light, other than themselves, were instantly impaled by countless sharp thorns, their propulsion extinguished, and they collided with the mechs flying in behind them!
"Hahahaha!" Jin Quan Ao Tian was clearly enjoying the slaughter and continued to shout, "Special Skill!! Ten Thousand Spears Pierce Heaven and Break Armor!!"
The three golden phantom clones vanished into afterimages, leaving only the single golden mech within the enemy ranks.
But soon, three more clones materialized from behind and the sides of the mech!
Transforming into a golden war god with four heads and eight arms, all wielding golden lances, they spun and charged, simultaneously wielding their lances.
Fierce golden light exploded in the sky, and countless golden spearheads shot from the mech, piercing the enemy mechs.
Suddenly, a giant, pitch-black plane unfolded in the distant sky, and the Black Hell emerged from the plane, a spherical black domain rapidly expanding around its chassis.
Every enemy mech that entered the black domain had no escape, only explosions were heard, but no flames were seen.
Debris from enemy mechs, trailing black smoke, rained down upon the earth like thousands of falling meteors.
Wang Shang Meng hadn't expected the third God of War of Xian Xia to appear here, like a divine intervention to save him.
He said to the large crimson mech behind him, "Yoda, stay clear." Then, he piloted the Qilong 003 to turn and fly away.
After several rapid flashes, the Qilong mech flickered into the enemy formation. All its auxiliary thrusters sprayed to the right, and the mech began to spin rapidly.
The white blade-lights in its hands transformed into white hurricanes, continuously tearing apart the enemy mechs' armor.
Just as the three Xian Xia mechs were wreaking havoc on the enemy mechs,
An impact wave shot straight across the sky; only the sound of wind was heard, but no mech was visible!
The air shockwave circled the outer perimeter of the enemy mech cluster, flashing three times at speeds exceeding Mach 2.
Each time, any enemy mech touched by the shockwave would erupt into a ball of raging fire!
Wang Shang Meng was stunned. Among the many Gods of War of Xian Xia, only one could achieve this level of attack.
As expected, it was Ba Can Ji!
Ba Can Ji gradually slowed down, flying to Qilong's side.
"Xiao Meng, what are you doing here? Do you have a mission?" Shu Feizhang asked sternly.
Many of the surrounding enemy mechs had already been slaughtered by the Black Hell and Sky Devouring Golden Armor. The remaining enemy units, unwilling to fight, retreated.
Wang Shang Meng finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My mission in the Mega Gong nation is complete, and I was on my way back to Xian Xia when I was suddenly ambushed by a Black Star task force. I even detoured through the Gulf Continent to return home, and I didn't expect the Black Star army to have already infiltrated this far."
Shu Feizhang looked silently at his external combat mission. He had resigned it to help Gu Ya.
"It's still not too late to go now," Shu Feizhang said. "Tell Gu Ya for me, I'm not going back to Xian Xia."
Wang Shang Meng pressed, "Gu Ya is here too?"
"With Liang Yu Wei, on the Red Beast mech. I'm leaving!"
Ba Can Ji engaged its propulsion, flying hundreds of meters in one second, and its speed continued to increase.
In less than five seconds, it vanished without a trace.
"Argh! This is so unsatisfying!" Jin Quan Ao Tian shouted with frustration. "These few enemy mechs are not enough to fight! Bring on thousands more!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
In the distant sky, the Red Beast mech slowly flew over, followed by the Golden Scale mech.
Jin Quan Ao Tian was overjoyed. "Brother Gu, you've recovered your divine power!!"
Gu Ya's voice came from the Golden Scale mech, and he said with a smile, "Not yet! But I remembered I could upload my consciousness to the system, so I did. This mech is me now!"
"Cool!!" Jin Quan Ao Tian shouted excitedly, surprised that Gu Ya had such a trick up his sleeve!
The Golden Scale mech moved its hands nimbly.
Gu Ya savored the novel sensation, as if he had suddenly become exceptionally tall and mighty.
Liang Yu Wei had only created an consciousness connection channel, but as long as the channel was installed on the mech, Gu Ya could enter the mech system for control.
During the battle against Ning Yu, Gu Ya had seen through her mechanical left eye; it was the most advanced prosthetic eye from the system store.
Gu Ya modified the communication output terminal in his bionic body that connected to Xiao Qi, successfully matching it with Ning Yu's left eye's communication, and smoothly entered her mechanical body to exert control.
"Gu Ya," Wang Shang Meng called out.
Glancing coldly at his former mentor, Gu Ya piloted the mech towards the Black Hell and Sky Devouring Golden Armor, saying indifferently, "Brother Shen, Little Jin Quan, let's go home."
Led by the Golden Scale mech, the remaining mechs followed behind, forming a small mech squadron.
After flying for three consecutive days, they finally returned to Xian Xia.
Following some arrangements, another three days passed.
Gu Ya finally returned his consciousness entirely to his physical body, the feeling of regaining control over his body bringing him peace. After all, his own body was the best.
Ye Ying stayed by the consciousness transmission instrument without a moment's rest. No matter what, her beloved's affairs could not be taken lightly.
Gu Ya had faced near-death experiences in both these adventures,
This also strengthened Ye Ying's resolve; no matter where Gu Ya went in the future, she would follow.
As soon as he left the consciousness transmission constant-temperature cabin, Gu Ya put on the consciousness world visualization helmet.
The helmet was connected to the main terminal by three transmission cables. The other side of the terminal extended two pathways.
Ning Yu, who had been waiting there, held a pure silver rod in her hands. After a moment of hesitation, she reluctantly accepted.
Ye Ying also insisted on entering Gu Ya's consciousness world and skillfully put on the helmet.
"Are you ready?" Gu Ya smiled at Ning Yu and said, "After we fall asleep, use code manipulation to enter my consciousness world."
Ning Yu frowned and said coldly, "Code manipulation, huh? I don't use this skill often, not very proficient. Let's give it a try."
Gu Ya smiled helplessly, wondering how this young girl became a divine power user, to have let such a useful skill go to waste.
However, she couldn't be entirely blamed. Not all divine power users enjoyed research as much as Gu Ya.
Perhaps Ning Yu had unique advantageous skills?
Gu Ya held Ye Ying's hand and smiled tenderly at his beloved, "Every time you enter my consciousness world, I feel warmth. This time is no exception."
The instruments began to operate, soothing music played, and brainwaves simulating deep sleep were released from the helmet.
Ye Ying leaned on Gu Ya's shoulder, and the two fell into a deep sleep.
Ning Yu took a deep breath, gripped the silver rod, and silently commanded, "Code Manipulation!"
