Chapter 253

[Cheating Engineering Man: War! I hope my world can stay the way it is now, and that war never happens.]

[Meme Lord: That's probably a bit difficult. It's hard to avoid war in your world.]

[Cheating Engineering Man: I know, politicians and ambitious people are never short of this kind of thing.]

[Cheating Engineering Man: This is really troublesome.]

Inaho looked at Li Yue's message with great helplessness. Although he did not want war to happen, politicians and ambitious people were never lacking, and when there were too many of them, it was easy to trigger war.

[Cheating Engineering Man: Judging from the current situation, only Mars can influence the situation between Mars and Earth. Earth's technology is currently much weaker than Mars'.]

In the first war, the moon was bombed, and now the Martian Knight's Landing City floats in the shattered lunar orbit. Earth doesn't even have a space force yet, so in terms of technology, Mars completely outclasses Earth's military.

[Meme Lord: Speaking of Martian riders, Kira, is my Zaku ready yet?]

461. The Approach of War

It's been a while since the Zaku was built with PLAN's help, so Li Yue is naturally curious about the progress of his own machine.

[The Strongest Coordinator: Because the Zaku's appearance is quite similar to GINN's, the parts production line didn't need much modification, so it's now complete.]

[Meme Lord: Oh~ It's finished? I'll find some time to go and receive it later.]

[The Strongest Coordinator: Yes, it's finished. It's currently in the final stages of testing and painting.]

[Meme Lord: Indeed, spray painting is a very important step!]

For Gundam models, color scheme is very important. Some color schemes make the model look like a grunt, while others make it look like the main character. Even if the models are the same grunt models, if you paint them differently, it will affect the overall look of the model.

Therefore, you must spray paint properly!

Li Yue's Zaku spray paint also needed to be applied properly. However, Li Yue's initial choice was simple: just apply red directly. Therefore, there was no need for complicated multi-color matching; a bright red like blood would suffice.

Of course, there will still be some black and gold color scheme on the chest to highlight the noble temperament. A special Zaku must have some corresponding special patterns and color schemes, right?

[Meme Lord: The mecha is ready, now it's just waiting for the energy. Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Inaho's world.]

[Cheating Engineering Man: Minecraft, energy... do you mean you want to use the kind of energy the Martian riders use?]

[Meme Lord: That's right, because I'm curious whether my mecha will gain corresponding power.]

The Martian cavalry possessed ancient Martian technology and energy, capable of generating incredibly powerful energy out of thin air, much like nuclear power. Crucially, this energy was controllable, pollution-free, and extremely powerful, even granting the machines various amazing abilities. The only drawback was that activating it required the bloodline of a Martian imperial noble.

The emperor and royal family of the Martian Empire control the activation of this energy source. Once the royal family restricts the energy source, no one can use it.

That was the only thing Inaho could think of in her world that would interest Li Yue.

The problem is that this thing is limited to Martians, or rather, to the Martian royal family. Even the Martian cavalry need the royal family's approval to use its energy.

Even if Li Yue obtains it, he won't be able to use it unless Li Yue gains the approval of the Martian royal family.

But is such a thing even possible?

Mars and Earth are at war again at any time. Would they really hand over the power to Li Yue, an alien from Otherworld, for no reason? Even if Li Yue were a native of their world, it wouldn't matter, let alone if he were from Otherworld world.

[The Cheating Engineering Man: I'm afraid you don't know much about Martian energy, so there's no way I can help you achieve your wish.]

[Meme Lord: No, no, no, I think my chances of getting it are very high!]

[The Cheating Engineering Man:?]

Inaho looked at Li Yue's remarks and expressed his incomprehension. After all, he did not know that Mars would produce such an eccentric princess.

The first emperor of Mars was very old. During the war with Earth, the lunar base exploded, causing the second emperor to perish as well. The royal family consisted of only the first emperor and the third princess, who is now the representative of Mars.

This third-generation princess wanted to live in peace with Earth, which was not in the interests of the Martian cavalry. Although the Martian cavalry possessed advanced technology, they were limited by the Martian environment, and their resources and environment were always very poor. Therefore, a feudal state was born on Mars again. The lower classes were not entitled to use the best resources, which were all in the hands of the nobles. However, the nobles were still not satisfied with this because there were too few of them.

The Martian cavalry wanted to conquer Earth and seize its resources, but the third-generation princess was preoccupied with peace.

So a nobleman couldn't resist the urge to blow up the princess during her visit to Earth, thus igniting another war.

There was another reason why he dared to do this: he had another princess under his control.

Although the second emperor's illegitimate daughter was not a princess recognized by the royal family, she possessed royal blood and could therefore be considered a member of the royal family. She could also be used as a key to activate the energy for the nobles. Thus, even if the legitimate princess died, it would not affect the activation of the Martian cavalry.

But the result was that the real princess not only did not die, but also led the Earthlings to fight the Martians. In the end, she even married the Blondie fell from the sky, cooperated with the Earth government, gave the energy to Earth for free, formed an alliance with Earth, and successfully split the Martian Empire.

[Meme Lord: Anyway, you'll get the energy, and you can get it if you want.]

[The Cheating Engineering Man: Never mind, I'm not interested in that kind of thing.]

Whether you're interested or not isn't up to you; it's up to the princess.

Inaho was the man who was given the activation key by the Martian Princess. Just like the Martian nobles who piloted Martian cavalry, he also had the qualification to activate. However, he usually activated warships, not mechs. He usually piloted that orange training mech, but it was precisely because he always piloted the orange training mech that he earned the title of Orange Demon.

[The Strongest Coordinator: Indeed, I'm not interested in this kind of thing, because no matter what, war is never as good as peace.]

Kira also expressed his own opinion.

The only active people in the Chat Group today are Kira and Inaho. This is because the scale of the war in Kira's world has begun to expand, and Inaho has a similar world background, so she has a certain sense of resonance with Kira.

Especially in Kira's world, because Li Yue gave all the G Series mobile suits to PLANT, the Federal Army only took back the Archangel. Although the Archangel was not bad, the Federal Army did not lack battleships, but mobile suits. Therefore, on the main battlefield, they could not turn the tide much. On the contrary, the ZAFT army, relying on the newly acquired G Series mobile suit data, quickly developed their own Gundams and updated mass-produced mobile suits. This led to the ZAFT army's growing advantage, to the point that the ZAFT army are now preparing to directly annihilate the Federation's space forces.

[The Cheating Engineering Man: While I appreciate your support, unfortunately, reality may not be what we expect.]

[Cheating Engineering Man: The Martian Princess to visit Earth. I hope she has a safe trip.]

Clearly, war is not far off in Inaho's world.

462. Sasuke's Battle

The scale of the war in the Seed world began to expand because Li Yue had taken all the Gundams and given them to PLAN. This resulted in PLAN obtaining the latest technology developed by the Federal Army, including phase-change armor and the latest battery pack technology, especially the battery pack technology combined with a high-power beam rifle.

It's important to understand that while the original ZAFT army did have beam rifles, those were considered heavy equipment. Now, the Federal Army has miniaturized the beam rifles and equipped them with the latest battery pack technology, greatly improving their endurance. This has given the ZAFT army, which was still in the era of physical weapons, a further upgrade, ushering in an era where everyone is equipped with beam weapons.

The Federal Army fared much worse. They worked hard to acquire the technology through cooperation with Orb, but in the end, they gained nothing, which was very frustrating.

As for the AZ world where Inaho is located, it's even simpler and more direct: the Martian Princess's visit to Earth means that the second Earth-Mars war is about to begin!

"Looks like things will get lively soon."

Li Yue looked at Kira and Inaho continuing to chat in the Chat Group and couldn't help but sigh.

Then he turned his attention to the reality before him.

"Kid, I already know about the power of your Zanpakuto!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's left hand was severed, but he held his Zanpakuto in his right hand. Despite being covered in blood, he looked at Sasuke with a smile.

The start of the battle between the two was actually somewhat in line with Li Yue's expectations.

In Li Yue's opinion, Sasuke might get slashed by Mayuri Kurotsuchi at the very beginning, and once he gets Zanpakuto by Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Zanpakuto, things will get interesting.

As a scientist, Mayuri Kurotsuchi made many modifications to his Zanpakuto. That's right, he modified his Zanpakuto, turning Zanpakuto into a poison sword!

Zanpakuto contain a large amount of toxins, which have completely different functions. For example, there is a neurotoxin that will make a person lose control of their entire body once they are cut. What is particularly terrifying about this neurotoxin is that it only cuts off the brain's control over the limbs, but does not cut off the pain feedback from the nerves. Even though the body cannot move and has no sensation, one can still feel pain. This is a terrifying toxin used to torture people.

This is just one of the toxins that Mayuri Kurotsuchi has mastered. As she has experienced more and more battles, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has developed all sorts of toxins and made various modifications to her body. In the end, it is hard to say whether Mayuri Kurotsuchi herself.

The current situation is that Mayuri Kurotsuchi's left hand was cut off by Sasuke, but it has no effect whatsoever.

As for why Mayuri Kurotsuchi's left hand was cut off by Sasuke, it was because Sasuke immediately released his Zanpakuto at the beginning and used his Sharingan with Three Tomoe to cast a genjutsu on Mayuri Kurotsuchi. While controlling Mayuri Kurotsuchi with the genjutsu, he exchanged a few simple blows with Mayuri Kurotsuchi and then, with a show of bravado, cut off Mayuri Kurotsuchi's left hand.

"Before these eyes, everything you have is pale and powerless!"

After severing Mayuri Kurotsuchi's left hand, Sasuke uttered some boastful words, fully displaying his Uchiha bloodline.

Li Yue was right. There are differences between captains. The one who used the Bankai of Hyōrinmaru with a red face had a wide-range ice and water freezing attack. Even Sasuke didn't know how to dodge that kind of attack. The range was too big, and it continuously summoned ice dragons to attack. If you were not careful and got frozen, you would be completely finished.

But this guy in front of him was different. His Zanpakuto release, had only turned into a three-bladed sword with a doll-like monster head. It looked really weak, and he didn't know what use such a sword was other than being ugly.

Having never experienced pain, Sasuke held Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Zanpakuto in utter contempt.

How did this person become the team leader? Did he get in through connections?

As for Tōshirō Hitsugaya, the genius captain who wielded Hyōrinmaru, he felt that he had many similarities with him and that he was definitely a genius like him!

Sasuke was so engrossed in his self-important display of superiority that he completely ignored Mayuri Kurotsuchi's actions.

"Tch, they're all like that. They're just illusion-type Zanpakuto, yet they're so arrogant."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi ignored Sasuke, who was showing off next to him, threw his Zanpakuto on the ground, and then took out an injection from his pocket with his remaining right hand and injected it into his left shoulder. Soon, his severed left hand grew back.

"What?!"

Sasuke stared in astonishment at Mayuri Kurotsuchi's newly grown left hand.

"Don't be so surprised, it's just Flesh Supplement."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi was quite pleased with Sasuke's surprised expression. He always enjoyed seeing this unsophisticated guy's shocked expression at his invention. Of course, on the surface, he would still maintain his disdain and contempt for this country bumpkin.

"Explaining it to someone as unsophisticated as you would be difficult for you to understand, so I think it's best not to explain it to you, especially since you'll soon become one of my test subjects."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at Indra in his Sasuke.

"Illusion-type Zanpakuto are indeed infuriating in terms of their control over illusions. Aizen is like that, and so are you, brat. But both Aizen and you have forgotten one thing."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi gripped his Zanpakuto again with his right hand.

"Illusion-type Zanpakuto are indeed very good at controlling others, but the premise is that you must be near the target you want to control. Zanpakuto are indeed very good at controlling others, but this also means that you, as the master of the Battle Soul Blade, will be extremely vulnerable!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi raised his Zanpakuto with his right hand.

"And to deal with a fragile guy like you, this is all you need to do."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi raised his Zanpakuto.

"Bankai!"

The trident that originally had a baby face disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had become a terrifying worm that looked like a huge insect behind Mayuri Kurotsuchi. This worm looked like a caterpillar, but it was extremely large, with a body length of tens of meters and a height of nearly 10 meters when it raised its head. It also had a very terrifying baby face.

"Is this your Bankai?"

Sasuke knew what Bankai was, but he didn't expect that someone's Bankai would be such a bizarre-looking thing. Hyōrinmaru's ability was ice, so what was this thing's ability? It couldn't just be a large and ugly thing, could it?

Amid Sasuke's confusion, Mayuri Kurotsuchi revealed the name of his Bankai.

"Kōshōkōgōtai!"

463. Sasuke suffered another setback.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's Bankai appears on the surface as a large insect with a strange baby face, possessing a massive size that it can use to attack.

In reality, aside from the warnings, the main attack method of the Kōshōkōgōtai is still poison.

In the world of Bleach, a huge size has a strong suppressive effect on weak enemies, but for those powerful ones, the bigger they are, the more likely they are to become targets.

The Kōshōkōgōtai, in addition to its enormous size, is also very skilled at using poison to attack, which is related to Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who still likes to modify his Zanpakuto.

After the Kōshōkōgōtai appeared, it immediately pounced on Sasuke. Its huge body looked like a super tank, but this kind of slow attack was basically useless against an enemy who could use Flash Step, so Sasuke was naturally not hit.

However, after Sasuke used Flash Step, he immediately landed and collapsed to the ground.

"What happened?"

Sasuke lay on the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, completely unable to move his hands and feet.

"Why, why is my body not obeying me?"

"Because you've already been poisoned."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi looked at Sasuke lying on the ground, raised his hand and summoned the Kōshōkōgōtai to surround him. The huge body completely surrounded Sasuke.

"Poisoning? When? How could that be?"

Sasuke couldn't believe it. He had no wounds on his body and had been in Indra Release state, which allowed him to be more sensitive to everything around him, yet he hadn't sensed any attack.

"It's very simple. Because of the air, the moment the Kōshōkōgōtai appeared when I performed my Bankai, it had already started to emit poison gas. Because I once fought with a certain arrogant human, I modified the way the Kōshōkōgōtai spreads its toxins."

It has appeared that stage, unique to Bleach, where they always explain their abilities during battle.

Li Yue couldn't help but laugh.

"Because of that battle, I modified all the toxins to be colorless and odorless, so that no one could see, smell, or feel them when they were spread into the air. Of course, this also has its drawbacks. Because to make them colorless and odorless, the toxins have undergone special treatment, which will result in a relatively slow spread. So I had the Kōshōkōgōtai act immediately after it came out to stir up the air and thus speed up the spread of the toxins."

"When you were dodging the attack of the Kōshōkōgōtai, you were infected with the poison, although you escaped its Kōshōkōgōtai."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi spoke, he walked up to Sasuke and looked at the body lying on the ground, where nothing could move except for his eyes and mouth.

"You have been declared dead."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's black and white mask, his large eyes stared intently at Sasuke.
