From Mechanical Hunter, Volume One, Chapter Thirty: Truth. On Crackstar, there were no fewer than twenty numbered mechanical legions.

But at least half of them were stationed near the Mother City.

There were five legions stationed at the fortress.

Almost simultaneously, the detection systems of the five mechanical legions sounded piercing alarms.

The next moment, amid the roar of erupting energy engines, super-mechanical bodies rose one after another from the ground. Every senior officer leading them was a War God, and there were even advanced mechs among them.

The Mother City's forces were not lofty and stubbornly conservative. They also absorbed advanced technologies from the Cyber Proving Ground to improve themselves.

These mechs, for example, bore strong traces of Dugo technology. Although they fell short of the level of flesh-mechanical armor, they were already on par with Pioneer mechs. By the standards of radiation energy, they could probably reach the level of A-rank radiation beasts.

However, whether they were mech pilots or mechanical War Gods, every one of them wore a solemn expression.

The reason was simple.

The enemy approaching head-on had an energy level that had already surpassed this planet's limit.

This planet's upper limit was an S-rank Beast King, with tens of millions of units of radiation energy.

Yet as the figure drew closer, its berserk energy even triggered celestial phenomena. For a time, thunder rolled through the radiation layer. The lightning it struck down was not white, but black. Wherever the black light spread, the surrounding environment twisted and warped.

This was a celestial phenomenon that could only appear during a beast tide.

The War Gods of the Seventh Mechanical Legion knew this very well. After all, they had purged beast tides more than once or twice.
