Chapter 1 The Latest Chapter

Inside the fortress, numerous mechanical metal boxes began to be unsealed, revealing massive golden cones that were then dispatched to various zones.

Meanwhile, in the star-filled sky, Crazy Eye Rein Hawke transformed into a streak of light, the Thunder God's Spear in his hand crackling with violent lightning as he slammed it fiercely against the dimensional barrier of the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone.

Ka~

The transparent dimensional barrier caved inward in patches, but the immense rebounding force immediately sent Crazy Eye Rein Hawke flying.

In the next moment, rows of close-range defensive weapons unfolded.

A torrent of fierce beams and dense projectiles rained down on Su Mo like a storm.

Su Mo weaved and dodged at high speed while seeking an opportunity, manipulating his mecha to accumulate a beam and sweep it across the path.

Sun Duo Xiang and the others weren't slacking either, piloting the Apostle of God to bombard the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone with a furious barrage.

As for Ke Lei Te and his group, they were even more savage, approaching the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone from different directions with their subordinates, then launching anti-matter missiles.

One dazzling sun after another rose.

Remember in one second

For a time, the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone could only mobilize a massive amount of firepower to deal with the besieging forces.

Instantly, the pressure on the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer—Shadow of Calamity eased, and it unleashed another terrifying wave of bombardment on the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone, the Light of Disaster smashing heavily against the dimensional barrier.

The entire barrier was twisting and shaking violently, on the verge of collapse.

"Everyone, put in more effort, their barrier is about to give way! As long as we can destroy their barrier, we can break through. This fortress is now entirely controlled by artificial intelligence, so as long as we can get inside, we'll achieve final victory!"

"Keep going! Destroy it!"

...

Encouraging voices echoed through the public channel.

The morale of the besiegers continued to climb.

Just then, the entire surface of the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone cracked open, and golden cone-shaped bodies extended out.

Countless golden patterns lit up on the surface of these golden cones, flashing with terrifying golden lightning.

Creator—Devourer saw this scene and warned Su Mo.

"Retreat! It's a large-scale scatter!"

Su Mo immediately issued an order to Sun Duo Xiang and the others.

"Fall back! Maximize energy shields!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Sun Duo Xiang and the others responded hastily.

On the other side, Ke Lei Te, Ka Tu Le, and the others also sensed the danger and led their subordinates to temporarily evade the attack.

However, they still underestimated the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone. Those golden lightning strands linked together, generating a terrifying golden lightning storm that spread outwards.

In an instant, a large number of IV-generation mecha and pseudo-V-generation mecha were annihilated.

In the communication channel, cries of agony rang out.

On the scanning radar screen, one green dot after another dimmed.

This wave of attacks alone inflicted considerable damage on the attacking forces.

Inside the Shadow of Calamity's command room.

A'nasen reported to the old man: "Sir, the situation is not good. Our mobile unit has suffered a blow and cannot get close enough to the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone to effectively harass it."

The old man's cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and he gave a deep order.

"How much strength is left in their dimensional shield?"

"Only thirty-four percent."

A'nasen reported respectfully.

Hearing this result, the old man said hoarsely, "Order everyone not to retreat, and to attack the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone with all their might!"

"But sir, their weapons..."

A'nasen asked worriedly.

"Launch XLz-01 guiding devices to neutralize their lightning storm."

The old man calmly issued a countermeasure.

"Understood!"

A'nasen responded immediately.

In an instant, the Shadow of Calamity opened numerous huge launch ports.

Shua~

Then black iron lumps were launched en masse.

The VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone's ongoing golden lightning storm was largely diverted by those black iron lumps.

The pressure on the attacking forces suddenly eased, but then they received an order from the old man.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Sun Duo Xiang swallowed, asking with lingering fear. He had been too slow to evade completely and was struck, causing the Apostle of God's energy shield to drop drastically.

Su Mo turned to look. Although the old man had sent out guiding devices, they couldn't completely eliminate the threat.

And the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone immediately reacted, adjusting its close-range weapons to frantically attack those iron lumps.

Destroying the guiding devices as quickly as possible.

Although the Shadow of Calamity continued to launch and replenish them, it was clear that it couldn't last long.

But then Su Mo saw that the old man's subordinates were all turning around and charging forward without hesitation.

"Go!"

Su Mo took a deep breath and led the charge with Crazy Eye Rein Hawke.

The attacking forces braved the fierce firepower of the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone and attacked its dimensional barrier.

Some of the old man's subordinates, after being wounded by the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone's close-range weapons and deeming it hopeless to retreat unscathed, activated self-destruct programs and crashed into the dimensional barrier.

One dazzling sphere of light after another lit up.

At that moment, Su Mo also felt immense respect for them, considering their courage to be so precious.

Time passed bit by bit.

The battlefield became increasingly brutal, and casualties among the attacking mecha soared.

Finally, the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer—Shadow of Calamity's main cannon finished charging again.

Inside the command room, A'nasen respectfully reported.

"Main cannon ready, 100 anti-matter missiles loaded, 1,000 nuclear mines loaded!"

A gleam of light flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes.

"Destroy it!"

"Should we notify the others to take cover?"

"No need."

"Yes!"

A'nasen replied in a deep voice.

In the star-filled sky, the Shadow of Calamity's twelve merged Calamity Cones unleashed a dazzling light. Then the Light of Disaster struck directly towards the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone.

However, the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone had long anticipated this attack, and its planetary fortress's central main cannon fired a beam of annihilation. The two beams collided in the star-filled sky.

Space twisted for a moment, and a wave of destruction swept outwards.

Then the Shadow of Calamity's slender hull instantly unleashed a terrifying barrage from its 1-4000w launch ports.

All of the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone's close-range cannons and interceptor sentinels frantically poured out firepower to intercept.

Countless missiles were shot down near their target, but a large number of missiles still struck the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone's dimensional barrier.

Under normal circumstances, the surviving missile strikes shouldn't have caused too much damage to the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone.

However, an unexpected scene occurred. Countless spheres of light burst open, like a supernova explosion.

The entire VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone was directly engulfed by a chain reaction of explosions.

"Dodge!"

Su Mo sensed the danger at once and roared in a deep voice!

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards, and some of the attacking mecha were caught in it.

Some didn't even have time to scream before being devoured.

The old man hadn't notified his own people to avoid alerting the enemy to his attack intentions. After all, this wave of attacks was unleashing most of the ship's limited heavy weaponry.

When the aftershocks subsided, Su Mo asked with a tense expression, "Sun Duo Xiang, what are the casualties?"

"Still within tolerable limits," Sun Duo Xiang replied through gritted teeth.

Just then, the engulfed VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone slowly emerged from the explosion.

Its dimensional barrier had finally been overwhelmed and completely destroyed.

The VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone's surface was scorched black, and many protruding weapons were destroyed, with mechanical debris flashing with sparks.

"Well done, we succeeded!"

"We finally broke through their barrier, brothers, follow us and charge!"

.....

Ka Tu Le and the others shouted excitedly in the public channel.

However, at that moment, an anomaly arose.

Suddenly, a gigantic golden eye appeared in front of the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone.

Faced with the sudden change, everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and they stopped attacking, entering a defensive stance.

This giant golden eye seemed to be able to see through all obstacles, gazing directly at everyone, making them feel an unprecedented pressure.

At that moment, the solemn voice of Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye (avatar) echoed in everyone's communication channel.

"This is the God Clan's Forbidden Zone. This is your last chance. Withdraw immediately, or bear the consequences!"

Just then, the old man's hoarse voice rang out.

"I am the Emperor of the A'ster Empire, and I have come here to retrieve the sealed weapons. Please, be accommodating."

"You do not have the corresponding authority. Without the God King's authorization, no one is permitted to enter God's Forbidden Zone!"

Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye (avatar) refused without hesitation.

"The God Clan has already been annihilated. There is no possibility of having the God King's authorization, and we have come here precisely to inherit the God Clan's will."

The old man replied to it in a deep voice.

"That's right. The God Clan has been annihilated, so there is no way anyone can have authorization."

"We are the closest personnel to the God Clan."

.....

Ka Tu Le and the others chimed in.

For a moment, Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye (avatar) fell into a rare silence.

Everyone stared at Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye with solemn expressions, also silently hoping that it would disarm after understanding the situation.

Just because they had destroyed its dimensional barrier didn't mean they had defeated it. At most, they had just cracked open its shell, allowing them to hurt it.

The subsequent battle would likely be very brutal.

Also, if they could take this fortress without taking any damage, it would be a great help to them. Otherwise, even if they won through brute force, the fortress would likely be scrapped.

Just then, Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye (avatar) flew into a rage, and its entire virtual projection eye filled with murderous intent, roaring.

"Bold! As subjects! How dare you say such rebellious words, cursing the God Clan!"

"We are not cursing the God Clan. We are stating the fact that the God Clan has indeed been annihilated."

"The God Clan has indeed been annihilated."

....

Ka Tu Le and the others replied with dark expressions.

"Obdurate and ignorant, guilty of heinous crimes, accept divine punishment!"

Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye's holographic eye was exceptionally angry. It had clearly expressed its unwavering loyalty to the God Clan, and anyone who slandered the God Clan must die.

In an instant, the gigantic body of the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone swiveled its pitch-black gun barrels, and countless launch ports opened, with sub-light-speed nuclear mines protruding.

Kaka!

A sky full of attacks assailed Su Mo and the others, as well as the Shadow of Calamity.

At that moment, the Shadow of Calamity also launched a large number of cluster bombs and jamming rounds to intercept.

But still, a large number of attacks broke through the interception and passed through.

Seeing this, Su Mo and the others immediately dodged and evaded, but the attacks were exceptionally fierce. If they couldn't dodge, they could only forcibly endure.

Explosions filled the sky.

Even the Ancient Legendary-class Star Destroyer—Shadow of Calamity couldn't escape.

The entire ship was shaking violently.

Inside the command room, everyone was having trouble standing. A trace of killing intent flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes, and he issued a solemn order.

"Foolish loyalty, destroy it!"

A'nasen immediately accepted the order and issued commands to De Ruimu and the others.

"Attack with all your might and break into the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone! The Shadow of Calamity will provide fire cover for you!"

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Then the Shadow of Calamity unleashed a fierce barrage.

Dense firepower landed on the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone, and violent explosions destroyed patches of gun barrels and launch ports.

Su Mo and the others manipulated their mecha to scatter, using their numerical advantage to attack from all directions like locusts.

For a time, the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone was at a disadvantage.

Inside the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone's central control room.

Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye (avatar) issued a deep command.

"Level One Danger Alert!"

"Wake-up program initiated."

......

Inside the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone—Hall of Valor.

The entire hall was a thousand meters high, decorated with gold and jade, and the walls were all covered with solemn and sacred carvings.

On both sides of the hall, rows of pseudo-VI-generation pure mechanical mecha—Apostles of God—knelt on one knee, heads respectfully lowered, with rows of Divine Guards-Modified and Divine Guards kneeling respectfully behind them.

At that moment, the God's Eye (avatar) virtual image appeared.

"Sleeping heroes, now is the time for you to awaken from your slumber, awaken!"

In an instant, inside the vast Hall of Valor, the eyes of all the Apostles of God, Divine Guards-Modified, and Divine Guards lit up.

Inside their electronic eyes, lines of code programs appeared.

"Waking up."

"Decompressing data."

.....

At that moment, the Apostles of God in the front row of the Hall of Valor stood up, uttering ancient voices.

"Chaos Mechanical Legion Commander—Ge Luoci (avatar) reporting for duty."

"Chaos Mechanical Legion Deputy Commander—A'kasi (avatar) reporting for duty."

"Chaos Mechanical Legion Inquisitor—A'tuoli (avatar) reporting for duty."

"Chaos Mechanical Legion Inquisitor—A'lusi (avatar) reporting for duty."

.......

In an instant, all the mecha in the entire Hall of Valor stood up in unison, an incredibly shocking scene.

Looking closely, there were twelve Apostles of God, one hundred and twenty Divine Guards-Modified, and one thousand two hundred and forty Divine Guards.

Of course, if one looked closely, they would notice that many mecha positions in the Hall of Valor were empty. The number of mecha remaining was less than one-tenth of its peak.

But even so, the number of these awakened mecha had reached a terrifying level.

Artificial Intelligence—God's Eye (avatar) said solemnly.

"For the great God King, annihilate all rebellious heretics, show no mercy!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

......

In the star-filled sky, Su Mo manipulated Crazy Eye Rein Hawke to forcefully penetrate missile after missile, breaking out of the explosions and rapidly approaching the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone.

He raised the Thunder God's Spear in his hand, and the entire spear crackled with lightning.

"Little Devourer, let's go! Let's charge in in one go!"

"Understood!"

Creator—Devourer immediately exerted force, and Crazy Eye Rein Hawke's power soared continuously, instantly entering pseudo-VI-generation state.

Su Mo roared, swinging the Thunder God's Spear in his hand to pierce through the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone's strong armor. Just then, a shadow appeared out of nowhere in front of Su Mo, and a golden spear collided with the Thunder God's Spear.

The terrifying impact swept outwards, and Crazy Eye Rein Hawke was forcibly intercepted.

Su Mo's entire body shook violently. He looked closely and discovered that the mecha intercepting him was actually an Apostle of God, and he was slightly stunned.

Creator—Devourer warned him.

"Be careful, these aren't your Apostle of God mecha!"

"Wait, not my mecha? Didn't you say the God Clan is all dead? How can there still be mecha fighting back?"

Su Mo quickly retreated to create distance, asking in confusion.

"It should be some kind of unmanned unit."

"That shouldn't be. I have a jamming device on me."

"Then it has an independent artificial intelligence."

Creator—Devourer responded.

Su Mo turned his head to look around and saw that a large number of Divine Guard-series mecha had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, directly intercepting Ke Lei Te, Ka Tu Le, and all the other experts.

The entire situation had suddenly undergone an earth-shattering change.

At that moment, the mecha that had intercepted Su Mo raised the golden spear in its hand and aimed it at Su Mo, uttering a clear voice.

"I am Chaos Mechanical Legion Deputy Commander—A'kasi, state your name!"

"Su Mo."

Hearing the other party's question, Su Mo's expression was also very colorful, and he replied awkwardly.

"Very well, you may die now."

A'kasi instantly disappeared, manipulating the Apostle of God in a flash.

Su Mo's nerves tensed, and he raised the Thunder God's Spear to block. A'kasi appeared directly in front of him, the golden spear in her hand attacking like a stream of light.

Ka!

The crisp sound of the collision caused Su Mo's body to shake slightly. Before he could counterattack, A'kasi retracted the golden spear, and the entire spear transformed into countless afterimages, stabbing towards Su Mo's vital areas.

Su Mo kept swinging the Thunder God's Spear to block, and for a moment, he was a little overwhelmed.

The main reason was that A'kasi's attack frequency was too high, and the attack angles were very tricky. Even Creator—Devourer couldn't give timely attack warnings.

For a time, Su Mo was suppressed and kept retreating.

"This technique is too good, isn't it? It's just like a real person!"

"Just treat her as a real person. The Chaos Mechanical Legion originally belonged to the God King's special intelligent legion. All the members inside are products of mechanical ascension, possessing independent personalities and being no different from real people. Moreover, they have all been through hundreds of battles and have extremely rich and experienced combat experience."

Creator—Devourer explained to Su Mo.

"Mechanical ascension? Did someone really do that?"

Su Mo was also a little surprised.

"Never mind that, be careful!"

Creator—Devourer issued a danger warning to Su Mo.

A'kasi manipulated the Apostle of God to suddenly disappear out of thin air.

Su Mo's heart sank, and he retreated without hesitation, suddenly swinging the Thunder God's Spear horizontally!

The air fluctuated for a moment, and the Apostle of God appeared in an instant. The two spears collided together, sparks flying!

At that moment, A'kasi raised her left hand, and her entire left hand transformed into a sharp mechanical claw, sweeping across.

Su Mo forcibly controlled the mecha to bounce the Apostle of God away, and the entire mecha retreated sharply, narrowly avoiding the sharp mechanical claws.

However, A'kasi's attack did not end there. She manipulated the Apostle of God to slightly raise its head, and lines of golden circuits lit up on the entire mecha. The golden spear in her hand burst out with a dazzling light, piercing towards Su Mo.

"Spear of Judgment!"

"Hybrid Field Barrier!"

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Su Mo forcibly deployed the field barrier to block!

Ka!

The entire golden spear stabbed into the hybrid field barrier. In an instant, the field barrier twisted violently, and the golden spear's sharp tip pierced in bit by bit.

Su Mo felt like he had been struck heavily in the chest. He decisively seized this opportunity, manipulated Crazy Eye Rein Hawke to open its mouth, and a terrifying beam blasted head-on towards A'kasi.

A'kasi immediately retracted the golden spear and deployed an energy shield.

Crazy Eye Rein Hawke's beam struck its shield, scattering outwards!

However, at that moment, Su Mo suddenly raised his head, and his pupils shrank.

Negative Energy Gear One activated, Creator—Devourer also fully boosted the mecha, and Yilei Si simultaneously unleashed the mecha's power.

The bio-reaction of the entire Crazy Eye Rein Hawke soared instantly, and biological tissues bulged inside its entire body.

Su Mo manipulated the mecha to explode and charged towards A'kasi, raising the Thunder God's Spear in his hand and sweeping it across with all his might.

A'kasi raised the golden spear in her hand to block.

Peng!

At the moment of impact, a huge force struck, and A'kasi's entire mecha shook, retreating slightly.

Su Mo's subsequent attacks became even more aggressive, one strike after another assailing her, giving her no chance to breathe.

A'kasi could only keep blocking, and for a moment, she was suppressed.

Su Mo's idea was very simple: since the other party's technique was so good, then he would simply unleash his power and directly suppress her, giving her no chance to breathe.

As long as enough time passed, the other party's purely mechanical mecha would reach its limit and have problems.

That way, he could defeat the other party in one fell swoop.

Of course, the idea was good, but reality was often cruel. Sun Duo Xiang's cry for help rang out in Su Mo's communication channel.

"Boss, help!"

Hearing this, Su Mo's heart jumped, and he turned his head to look.

He saw Sun Duo Xiang and Ma Ke being chased and killed by an Apostle of God. The two of them, piloting the same mecha, were actually no match for the enemy's Apostle of God.

Their mecha were covered in shocking scars.

Seeing this, Su Mo frowned.

In fact, not only was Sun Duo Xiang and the others' situation at a disadvantage, but Ke Lei Te and the others were also being chased and killed all over the battlefield. Especially Ke Lei Te's situation was the worst. Since his mecha was the best on the entire battlefield, he directly faced the Chaos Mechanical Legion Commander—Ge Luoci (avatar).

He was suppressed to the point of having no temper at all.

Finally, because Su Mo and the others were all restrained, the VI-type Planetary Fortress—God's Forbidden Zone also had its hands free, unleashing a storm of attacks on the Shadow of Calamity.

In an instant, the Shadow of Calamity's Shield of Calamity was disintegrated, and its situation was precarious.

At that moment, A'kasi keenly seized the opportunity of Su Mo's distraction, manipulated the Apostle of God to disappear in a flash of light, shaking off the suppression.

"Not good!"

Su Mo's heart suddenly sank.
