"How long was I unconscious this time?"
Gu Ya looked towards the dark window and asked softly.
Taona was the one attending to him, her presence carrying a faint scent of peach.
Taona rubbed her eyes and whispered, "Three days."
"Ye Ying held on for six days, but she couldn't anymore, so I sent her back to rest."
"The others have already rushed to the battlefield."
The pain throughout his body lingered persistently.
Gu Ya struggled to get up.
Taona rose to help, but Gu Ya refused.
"Taona, you should be on the battlefield, not here with me..." As Gu Ya spoke, a line of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Taona reached for a tissue to wipe it away,
But Gu Ya stopped her, saying, "Don't touch my blood..."
Taona said with a hint of reproach, "You were too impulsive. Ye Ying underwent scientific examination, met the standards, and then participated in the mecha-blood experiment. You... you didn't consider the consequences at all..."
Gu Ya smiled faintly and said, "Li Fang isn't the only one running wildly for love..."
Taona immediately retorted, "This world can exist without Li Fang, but it cannot exist without you!"
"Similarly, Ye Ying can give up the entire world, but she will never give you up!"
Gu Ya said, "Each of us is very important. Please prepare a pilot suit for me, thank you. I need to get to the front lines."
Ye Ying was still asleep, and Gu Ya couldn't bear to disturb her.
After kissing Ye Ying goodbye, Gu Ya slowly walked out of the room.
Just a few hundred meters,
It took Gu Ya nearly ten minutes to reach his destination.
In the hangar, a brand-new assembled mecha stood quietly.
This was the weapon specially crafted for Gu Ya by the nation's best cyber mechanic, Xiao Jin Quan, named "Jin Quan Shen."
The mecha stood approximately 57 meters tall, weighing eight thousand three hundred tons unloaded and thirteen thousand tons fully loaded.
It featured variable-form booster short wings on its back.
The upper limbs were powerful, with high-explosive energy shotguns mounted on the arms, along with two beam-launching electromagnetic arm blades.
The shoulders were equipped with twelve close-range armor-piercing cannons and eight high-energy beam rays.
The legs, besides tactical dagger bays, had two 4x17 missile hardpoints.
Inside the knee armor were close-combat shock pikes, and the feet were fitted with high-explosive shock devices.
Four main thrusters were positioned on the back and under the shoulders.
Sixteen auxiliary thrusters were distributed throughout the body.
It was evident that the assembly cost of this mecha was more than that of ten main battle mechs.
Taona walked over with a worried expression, handing Gu Ya a pilot suit. She said, "Ye Ying will definitely be angry when she wakes up..."
Gu Ya understood, but the battlefield was calling, and he couldn't set aside his inner unease.
Enduring the pain, Gu Ya painfully squeezed into the cockpit and began to systematically start the mecha.
Amidst the roaring heat of the exhaust, he soared into the sky, heading towards the battlefield.
Half an hour later, Ye Ying awoke in a state of anxiety.
She found Taona sitting by her bed and asked incomprehensibly, "Why are you here with me? Where is Gu Ya?"
Taona took the pilot suit from her embrace and placed it on the bedside table.
Ye Ying immediately understood the reason. She quickly got up, put on the pilot suit, and rushed towards the hangar.
"When did he leave?"
"Half an hour ago. He told me not to wake you when he left."
"Does he know his own condition! How could he be so impulsive! He never considers the consequences of anything he does!"
"I think Gu Ya knows the consequences, but he still had to go."
Ye Ying found her mecha in the hangar.
A brand-new integrated light combat unit, also named "Nightingale."
Nightingale and Taoxi quickly activated, shot out of the hangar, and flew towards the battlefield.
The Jin Quan Kingdom, with significantly fewer forces than Black Star, rapidly captured a large portion of Black Star's territory.
Three days prior, the Jin Quan Kingdom had annihilated the Black Star Empire's "City of Steel," Ge Tie City, with three thousand elite mechs.
Now, the Jin Quan army was like a dagger deeply plunged into the Black Star Empire's vitals, constantly churning,
Having successively destroyed the "City of Industry," Fei Yin City, and the "Corridor of Ten Thousand Races," Wan Qiao City.
This string of victories made the entire world see one fact clearly:
The Black Star army was a paper tiger, truly deserving of the name.
In three days, hundreds of free nations worldwide joined the crusade against the Black Star Empire.
More and more colonized nations raised the banner of rebellion against Black Star.
The puppet regimes supported by Black Star were dismantled, and their cruel "proxies" were pursued and killed.
One by one, the colonized nations regained their sovereignty and continued to join the offensive against Black Star.
The spark of resistance against the Black Star Empire quickly ignited worldwide, forming a massive, unstoppable trend!
Gu Ya stared at the display screen, the azure sky and the deep green earth rushing backward rapidly.
Ahead lay cities engulfed in flames.
Tens of thousands of mechs soared and battled in the sky above the cities.
Gu Ya said weakly, "It's still far from enough!"
They had not yet encountered the true Black Star main forces.
The unimaginably massive flying motherships, colossal humanoid beings with yellow fluid flowing in their bodies, and inexplicably bizarre alien mechs—
These were Black Star's true trump cards.
"Everything has gone too smoothly, it's unbelievable."
Gu Ya piloted "Jin Quan Shen" and rapidly flew into the battlefield.
The surrounding explosions and violent tremors
Instantly filled Gu Ya with fervor.
The pain that had plagued him for so long also lessened instantly.
Suddenly, three enemy mechs attacked from above and behind, splitting rapidly in mid-air to encircle him from three directions.
Gu Ya's thinking speed surged, his fingers moving nimbly as he controlled the mecha to quickly turn and adjust its posture.
The Jin Quan Shen mecha raised its arms and unleashed close-range shotgun blasts,
The flying pellets formed a massive black net, pouncing towards the enemy mechs.
All thruster power was modulated to maximum. the moment the pellets hit the enemy mechs, a light blade chopped down, cleaving one enemy mech.
Immediately after, the main thrusters shut down, and all auxiliary thrusters fired in reverse,
Jin Quan Shen executed a 180° sharp turn in the air, lunging towards the enemy mech pursuing from behind.
A feint with dual light swords, followed by a knee strike. The massive impact shock pikes suddenly ejected, shattering the enemy mech's chest armor and piercing the cockpit.
Moments later, Jin Quan Shen's shoulder cannons fired simultaneously, forcing the last enemy mech to evade urgently,
But this played right into Gu Ya's plan.
Jin Quan Shen's feet simultaneously gripped the enemy mech's waist, and the high-explosive shock devices activated, directly blasting the enemy mech in half!
Gu Ya laughed excitedly,
But due to excessive exertion, he coughed up two large mouthfuls of blood.
The blood obscured the helmet's visor, so Gu Ya simply removed it and continued fighting.
The battle continued until evening, and all Black Star enemy mechs were annihilated.
Only a small number of mechs managed to escape the encirclement and flew towards the Black Star Empire's core territories.
Gu Ya's physical strength had reached its limit, his hands trembling incessantly, and he was so weak he was coughing.
Suddenly, a voice called out through the helmet's communicator.
Gu Ya picked up the helmet, only to find that the blood he had coughed up inside had solidified into a silver hard substance.
An ominous feeling arose.
"It seems the mecha-blood factor has already infiltrated my entire body..."
The voice in the helmet continued to call out, "Brother Gu... Brother Gu!"
Gu Ya responded weakly, "Is that... hahaha! A miracle!"
"I'm so happy to hear you speak!"
Qi Ji exclaimed in delight, "Brother Gu! You'll never guess where I am right now!"
Gu Ya said with a smile, "Aren't you fighting alongside me? Haha, you're such a jokester, kid."
Qi Ji said loudly, "You're wrong, Brother Gu! I am indeed participating in the battle, but not with my physical body!"
"I'm in your helmet! I mean, I can perfectly upload my consciousness to the system!!"
"There's no body in my mecha, I control the mecha with my consciousness!"
Gu Ya was even more surprised. He mustered his spirit and asked, "How did you do it? Did anyone help you?"
Qi Ji said, "Yes! Your twelve followers discovered my talent!"
"Brother Gu, I'm here to tell you something."
"In the Black Star capital city, at the Black Administrative Tower, all Black Star ruling class personnel have disappeared without a trace!"
