Asa Wang Nai suddenly realized something, quickly drew a breath, and shouted into the communicator: "Open fire—!!!"
At his command, all Black Star mechs, whether in the sky or within the city, simultaneously pressed the weapon launch buttons.
Thousands of missiles roared, like ten thousand stars falling in anger, striking like a tidal wave!
Over a thousand laser weapons tore through the sky, following the missiles.
These missiles and laser fire, like a storm of wind and rain, had only one target!
The Thunderbolt Star, at the bullseye of the Black Star enemy aircraft, merely exchanged glances with the missiles and lasers before mysteriously vanishing in a blur within the hurricane.
The deafening roar of explosions continued to bombard eardrums, and a tsunami-like gale swept through the city.
As the massive dust clouds dispersed, the steel-reinforced concrete structures at the prison entrance were blown to pieces, with countless deep and shallow craters dotting the well shaft.
From within the well, no more mechs poured forth.
Bizarrely, those mechs that had charged out had all vanished like smoke.
Asa Wang Nai stared intently at the bombardment area, and after a long while, he said, "Hmph, no one can escape the Enamel Prison. If they do, they must be dead."
Following this, he added with lingering excitement and arrogance, "What does it take to win a war? Brains! I declare that the rebels in Enamel City Prison have been cleared!"
"You have no brains at all!"
A young man's disdainful voice suddenly came from behind him.
Before Asa Wang Nai could locate the source of the voice, his flagship mech was sliced in half.
The upper body slid down slowly, and before it could even crash to the ground, several sharp beams of light flashed across its hull.
The flagship mech was instantly cut into dozens of segments, exploding with a "boom—!"
The Thunderbolt Star emerged from the explosion, as steady as a mountain, looking up at the thousands of Black Star mechs in the sky.
To Gu Ya, these countless enemy aircraft were like mayflies flitting in the air, posing no threat beyond the thought of how quickly they could all be killed.
"Come on!" Gu Ya roared, "You ants."
The Thunderbolt Star shot up from the ground like a reversed meteor with a "boom—!" It soared into the heart of the enemy formation, emitting crackling electricity from its entire body, its weapons and armor fully deployed!
In the next moment, spherical lightning, forming an electric net, was fired from the bowstring of its left arm! It instantly struck a large cluster of enemy mechs.
The enemy mechs struck by the current transmitted the charge from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, as if bound by thick chains, unable to escape even if they wanted to.
For a time, the paralyzed enemy mechs, like flies electrocuted into a paste, plummeted from the sky.
Immediately after, hundreds of beam cannons, rapidly modified by Gu Ya in the Thunderbolt Star's right arm, unleashed their barrels, their bodies emitting heat, firing from the arm.
They formed a swarm of hovering laser cannons, following the main unit.
As the Thunderbolt Star flew, the swarm of laser cannons followed closely, frequently changing angles, unleashing dense volleys of white beam fire in all directions.
Wherever the barrage passed, fire erupted, and explosions echoed.
Just as the Thunderbolt Star was wreaking havoc on the enemy fleet single-handedly, the thousand Black Star enemy mechs that had remained out of the fight in the island city all ascended.
More and more Black Star enemy mechs were deployed, surging from all directions. They encircled the Thunderbolt Star, both in the sky and on the ground, creating a spherical battlefield.
Following Asa Wang Nai's death, his first adjutant seamlessly became the supreme commander. With a roar, nearly two thousand Black Star enemy mechs simultaneously unleashed a missile storm.
Missiles numbering in the tens of thousands, an outrageously vast quantity, trailing fiery plumes that traced white smoke trails in the air, shot towards the Thunderbolt Star at the center of the spherical battlefield.
The countless white smoke trails painted the entire battlefield into a large ball of white smoke.
As the seemingly unavoidable missiles were about to hit the Thunderbolt Star, a bizarre event that shocked everyone present occurred.
The leading missile group, in unison, veered off course, carving large arcs in the air as they shot back towards the missiles behind them!
Some missiles, their warheads not yet fully turned, were hit and exploded by the missiles behind them.
In an instant, continuous explosions erupted within the battlefield, followed by the successive detonation of missiles, all exploding before they could hit their targets.
Above Enamel City, a giant explosion field materialized.
The blinding white light of the explosion was even stronger than sunlight.
Countless missile fragments were blasted outwards, striking the nearest enemy mechs.
A colossal, invincible shockwave instantly swept across the entire Enamel City. Surrounding Enamel City, it formed a circular tsunami tens of square kilometers in area on the sea, surging and churning in all directions.
All the buildings in the city, the sturdy rock walls of the sea cliffs, now seemed like paper, overturned and destroyed by the explosion and shockwave, as if their tops had been shaved off, leaving only the thick foundations at the bottom.
Enamel City was in ruins, no longer resembling its former orderly state.
The thousand-square-meter circular prison well entrance was also completely destroyed, forming a bowl-shaped crater.
All the Black Star enemy mechs present, like gourds hanging in the air, swayed wildly in the shockwave.
When all the dust settled, all the Black Star mech pilots looked towards the center of the explosion, their minds filled with a single thought.
"That's not human!"
The Thunderbolt Star hovered in the air, completely unharmed, shrouded in black explosion smoke, appearing like a ghost or a god.
Beside it, a black-armed Xianxia mech had appeared.
The destructive power of tens of thousands of missiles had not harmed these two mechs in the slightest!
The next second, something happened that sent chills down the spines of all the Black Star mech pilots.
Countless Xianxia mechs, like the monkey hairs of Sun Wukong transforming into his simian descendants, separated from the Thunderbolt Star, roaring and charging in all directions, rushing towards the encircling Black Star enemy mechs!
"Damn it! What are those things! Run!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I've been fighting for twenty years and never seen anything like this!"
"This isn't human! He's definitely not human! We're not fighting humans!!"
Almost simultaneously, all the Black Star mech pilots fell into disarray, frantically maneuvering their mechs to turn and flee in all directions.
Mechs within the enemy formation crowded outwards, while enemy aircraft outside, unable to see clearly what was happening inside, were blocked from view and remained stationary in the air.
In an instant, the enemy formation collapsed like a mountain, a chaotic mess.
As the enemy scrambled to escape, Gu Ya breathed a sigh of relief and said into the communicator, "Thanks."
Shen Jingming's calm voice replied, "Mhm."
Just moments ago, Gu Ya had been so shocked by the sheer number of warheads that his scalp had tingled.
In a moment of inspiration, before the missile rain arrived, he had unleashed his ultimate skill [Static Battlefield: Realm of No Wind], altering the control programs of the front-rank missiles.
When the first wave of missiles detonated, Shen Jingming's Black Spear mech appeared behind the Thunderbolt Star like a phantom, pulling him into the dark, flat plane.
This allowed them to evade the initial barrage.
Looking around at the thousands of holographic phantom mechs released by Gu Ya, which had sent the fleeing Black Star forces into a complete rout, Shen Jingming calmly asked, "Has the person been rescued?"
Gu Ya glanced at Mu Ye Xing Chen, who was bound and unconscious behind him, and replied, "Yes, but his mental state is unstable."
"Are we still fighting?" Shen Jingming asked.
Gu Ya surveyed the surroundings and said firmly, "We are! I will have this city completely erased from this planet. I will make the evil hidden in the seabed be utterly forgotten by humanity."
"It seems you endured a lot down there," Shen Jingming understood.
Just then, a sharp, piercing roar echoed from the sky.
Suddenly, a mech with a pure gold coating broke through the scattering enemy formations, like a shining star, flying towards Gu Ya and Shen Jingming.
"I wondered who it was," a strange young voice reached Gu Ya and Shen Jingming's ears, filled with youthful pride and arrogance, "Turns out it's you, Brother Hei. How have you been since the Night Intelligence City battle!!"
Gu Ya and Shen Jingming immediately became vigilant.
From the boy's tone, it was clear he wasn't here for pleasantries.
The Black Star enemy mech he piloted was clearly formidable!
