"Who are you!" Gu Ya roared.
"This world is me, I am this world." The mechanical voice transmitted into Gu Ya's mind again: "I am Hei Yang!"
As expected, Hei Yang was not dead after all!
Gu Ya gazed at the massive army of mechs, his face contorting, his fists clenched in anger!
Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say. Let's fight! Though thousands may stand against me, I shall charge!
Bands of sea-blue light suddenly illuminated from both sides. As the light bands extended upwards towards the ceiling, mech cockpits with futuristic patterns gradually became visible!
Four deep blue holographic control panels lit up with a "buzz!" forming an arc before him. A soft pilot seat suddenly cradled Gu Ya's lower limbs. Gu Ya tightly gripped two control sticks and thrust them forward with all his might!
The Azure Phantom shot straight up into the blue sky like a bamboo shoot breaking through the earth!
An ancient mech, entirely forged from blades and a dark crimson hue, gradually materialized to the Azure Phantom's left. Its colossal crimson aura vowed to pierce through the enemy's myriad forces!
The enormous long-range firepower mech, Khorne, appeared behind the Azure Phantom to the right, controlled by Gu Ya's consciousness avatar, "Wang Chuan."
The three mechs carved streaks of sea-blue, dark crimson, and dusty brown across the sky, charging bravely towards the cosmic mech army.
The allied mech forces, so numerous as to inspire despair in ordinary people, descended tilted from the shoulder of a mech as large as the moon outside the atmosphere, carving a fiery wave wider than the sky itself, like a waterfall of stars descending from the cosmos!
It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid. Gu Ya's hands, feet, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably. Yet, on his face, a ferocious, bloodthirsty, and ruthless smile appeared!
Gu Ya had long since devised a plan to break through the impossibly large number of enemy machines.
He swiftly opened the system mall panel and began rapidly purchasing mechs from the combat mech category.
"One thousand units! No! Ten thousand. No! Ten million units—!!!"
Gu Ya's finger pressed an unknown number of zeros after the digit '1'. When he clicked confirm, he hoped for an infinite army of mechs to materialize around him.
But to his surprise, apart from Khorne and the Ancient Mech, no other mechs appeared.
"What's going on!?" Gu Ya frowned.
Hei Yang's voice suddenly transmitted: "In my world, your abilities are not infinite. Because, this is my world!"
Gu Ya struggled and roared, "To hell with your world! I am the supreme god of this world!!!!!"
Just as the system mall reappeared, Gu Ya's mind was flooded with an unprecedented, utterly wondrous impulse!
With trembling hands, he slowly reached for the system's holographic screen. The screen, which had previously been intangible like a ghost, unable to be grasped or dispelled, was now within his grasp!
It felt as if he held an infinite, boundless universe in his hand!
Gu Ya opened his mouth wide and, like eating a giant pancake, shoved the system's holographic screen into his mouth!
"I ate my own system!" Gu Ya exclaimed in shock, chewing on the system's holographic screen, which was as brittle as glass shards, sharp to the touch, and utterly tasteless.
Suddenly, a melodious female voice emanated from the depths of his stomach, faint and ethereal, like divine music from another dimension, transmitting through his every capillary, neural network, and meridian to his brain!
[Detected: Host has fully digested system capabilities, breaking through the experience bottleneck of Elite Mech Mechanic.]
[Conditions for Master Mech Mechanic have been met, confirmation and unlocking.]
[Master Mech Mechanic unlocked, successful!]

[All basic Mech Mechanic skills synthesized, new skill acquired: Mech God's Gaze.]
[New skill acquired: Imaginary White Hole, can summon items from imaginary space, unpredictable, use with caution. Imaginary items last for three minutes, with a cooldown of 168 hours.]
"Ah—! This is what it feels like to wield the power of a Mech God!" Gu Ya erupted into wild laughter. At this moment, he suddenly felt he was no longer human; his physical body seemed to have ascended to a higher dimension of existence.
"Imaginary White Hole? Use with caution? A week-long cooldown. It seems it can summon incredibly powerful items. I'll save it for the final confrontation."
"All other abilities have doubled. What does Mech God's Gaze do?"
Gu Ya's eyes widened, and everything before him instantly transformed into dazzling, multi-colored lines of code. Without even thinking, an astronomical amount of code meanings automatically flooded into Gu Ya's brain.
"Pain!!" Gu Ya roared, quickly deactivating the Mech God's Gaze effect.
After recovering, Gu Ya slowly activated another new skill, Transcendental Modification. Before he could even imagine it, the control stick in his hand transformed into a viscous colloid that enveloped his arms, then gradually solidified like cooling glass, encasing his limbs.
Moreover, the entire cockpit began to change shape at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Cables that were once as thin as a little finger suddenly burst through the cockpit's metal walls, becoming as gnarled and intertwined as tree roots around him. The mechanical components were completely twisted into shapes he could never have imagined.
It was as if the entire mech had become a part of Gu Ya's body.
The Azure Phantom was alive!
As long as Gu Ya wished to speak, the Azure Phantom would emit his voice.
Without even looking at the monitoring data on the display screen, Gu Ya could sense the location, status, and operating conditions of every component within the Azure Phantom.
"This is the power of a Master Mech Mechanic! If before it was about using knowledge and manpower to assemble mechs, then now, I can freely modify mechs with my imagination, just like a completely inhumane surgeon!"
"In that case! The Azure Phantom is simply not enough."
Gu Ya sneered and said lightly, "Old friend, it's not that I dislike you, but facing a great enemy, I need a superior mech!"
"Nurture a mech embryo with pure, violent thunder! Transform explosions of hundreds of millions of tons into a physical body! Utilize unparalleled stellar power as weapons to cleave enemy machines! For the new mech, I shall call it: Thunderstorm Trillion Stars!!!!"
Before the Azure Phantom's body had even fully disappeared, the incomprehensibly designed mech cockpit suddenly burst through the original cables and metal, appearing around Gu Ya.
A super-giant mech, 150 meters tall, broke free from the Azure Phantom's minuscule form, roaring in fury as it devoured all of the Azure Phantom's remnants, born from its mother!
"Full load weight 168,500 tons, control system upgraded to future technology Kunpeng XIII Edition 4.1, power system compresses quasi-matter energy to 10 to the power of negative ten, black hole curvature engine appears, limbs equipped with twenty-five anti-quasi-matter aggregation annihilation reactors."
Gu Ya felt his power was sufficient to destroy an entire planetary system. He slowly raised his hands, spreading his fingers with force!
"Rage—Wild—!" Two colossal thuds echoed.
The Azure Phantom's hands launched two gigantic, bizarre quasi-matter energy beam sabers, one named "Ultimate Wild," the other "Slay Rage." On both beam sabers, deep blue light waves surged like serrations, countless stars twinkling within the light wave patterns, as if forged from the very fabric of the starry sky.
The left arm rotated inward, its arm plating suddenly transforming into a magnificent mechanical four-stringed great bow! Majestic energy radiated from the great bow. Without any other force to draw it, a simple pull and release of the left arm could unleash an endless barrage of electromagnetic cannonballs.
Like a storm of electromagnetic cannons, they madly shot towards the invading enemy machines. The sky was connected by a curtain of wild lightning, and where they struck, all turned into a raging sea of fire!
Gu Ya excitedly waved his right arm, his outer plating rapidly splitting open like countless reversed dragon scales! An immense number of quasi-matter energy cannon barrels surrounded his right arm, emerging from beneath the mech's dragon scales!
The right arm had effectively become a mountain of rockets, its deafening dragon's roar erupting from its core. Continuous beam cannons, like strings of beads, shot towards the sky!
Gu Ya smiled faintly, then suddenly growled, "You think that's all? Far from it!!! Void-Tearing Gigant Cannon!!!"
On Thunderstorm Trillion Stars' nearly sixty-meter-tall shoulders, the armor separated and shot outwards from the center! Six terrifyingly powerful giant cannon barrels were automatically deployed!
The ejected armor erupted with energy around its perimeter, gathering outside the cannon muzzles to form new, elongated barrels!
"Boom—!" A sound that absolutely shook the cosmos reverberated from outside the cockpit!
All seventy thrusters on Thunderstorm Trillion Stars' body and its five quasi-matter black hole curvature engines operated at full power, yet they could not withstand the immense recoil from the six shoulder cannons!
Six shells, capable of destroying the moon, flew like Mount Tai, tearing through the obstruction of ten million enemy machines, piercing straight out of the atmosphere, and blasting six abyssal craters into the faces of the giant mechs outside the planet!
"Is that all you've got?" Hei Yang's voice transmitted into Gu Ya's mind, neither humble nor arrogant.
"This little? You underestimate my Thunderstorm Trillion Stars. Hahahahahaha!!!!!" Gu Ya laughed contemptuously.
The five main thrusters on Thunderstorm Trillion Stars' back began to change shape, and vast amounts of red steam erupted from the gaps in its entire armor, spreading in all directions!
The five main thrusters and the seventy auxiliary forward and reverse thrusters on its limbs all burst forth at full power, emitting brilliant golden-yellow light!
No matter from which direction or angle of this world, whether from the planet's far side, or even the very center of its core, one could see the picture painted by Thunderstorm Trillion Stars!
It was a pattern of immense size, capable of shaking all things!
Vast amounts of red steam formed a bright red flag, fluttering in the wind!
Thunderstorm Trillion Stars' entire armor was heated to the same color as the flag, merging into the upper left corner of the red flag!
And the golden flames emanating from dozens of thrusters formed five golden five-pointed stars in the sky. Four smaller golden five-pointed stars semi-circled a larger, golden, luminous five-pointed star!
"A red flag with five golden five-pointed stars? On this planet, which country's flag is this?" Hei Yang asked slowly.
"My... my! My homeland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Thunderstorm Trillion Stars' chest armor suddenly cracked into dozens of pieces!
Each piece underwent mechanical transformation in mid-air, forming perfect arcs, flying and arranging themselves before the chest, forming new, colossal cannon barrels!
A short, thick, dark歼星级 (star-destroying class) giant cannon slowly extended from its chest. As the barrel extended, Thunderstorm Trillion Stars' body began to deform and shrink!
Thunderstorm Trillion Stars gradually filled the giant cannon using its own mechanical structures, assemblies, and parts!
Ultimately, Thunderstorm Trillion Stars transformed into a super star-destroying cannon, shimmering with golden light and clad in incredibly red armor!
At this moment, Gu Ya's heart was profoundly calm, like a clear lake. His fingers moved slightly, and he murmured, "Mom and Dad, Ye Ying, brothers and friends, countless compatriots, and my motherland, this is a magnificent painting dedicated to you!"
"Boom Roar —————————!!!!!"
The golden shimmering beam cannon shot out from the red barrel. All things in this world were shaken and destroyed by the power of this golden five-pointed star-shaped cannon.
The earth overturned, the seas boiled away, the air vanished, and the entire world was pushed back several meters by the cannon's power!
Hei Yang's mech, as large as the moon outside the atmosphere, was pierced through its head by the golden five-pointed star giant cannon without even a defensive action!
World-shattering sounds echoed from all directions, reverberating through space and time, even destroying the past and the future!
Gu Ya's eyes were enveloped in gold, and everything around him was bathed in gold. In his calm, clear eyes, Hei Yang's mech resembled a balloon shot through by a cannon. Its entire armor shattered, radiating golden explosion light from the cracks, turning into a sea of fire within a golden expanse!
The entire world disintegrated and then reassembled. In an instant, Gu Ya found himself back in his home before his transmigration.
Everything returned to peace. Gu Ya let out a sigh of relief, looking around the familiar environment. Gentle sunlight streamed in from outside the window, falling onto his desk. A dozen beloved, exquisite mech figurines were lined up on the bookshelf, and the air was filled with the warm, homey scent of his residence.
He slowly opened his hand. In his palm lay a small black circular box, containing a mass of dark liquid.
This was Hei Yang's true form.
He smiled faintly, opened his mouth, and drank it down. In an instant, all knowledge about Hei Yang became clear to him.
"It's over... it's all over."
Gu Ya murmured, tears flowing down his cheeks and along his jawline. He tremblingly clutched his chest and said, "But I can never go back... Mom, Dad, I hope you are safe and healthy in that world!"
After saying this, the scene suddenly shifted to a dark space filled with green code. Gu Ya stood in place, clenched his right fist, and punched forcefully towards his chest, shouting, "Consciousness Anchor! Activate!!!"
