Secret Technique: Turning the Body Without Turning the Head
What the heck?!
[Yokai vs. Gundam?]
[Robot Wars: Weird Tale?]
Astonished comments flooded the Live Broadcast Room, but Feng Xue showed no intention of explaining anything to the viewers. He calmly activated the cockpit camera, linked it to the Live Broadcast Drone, and then, as the cockpit scene appeared on the split screen, he reached out and pressed the power button on the Onboard Computer with the typical calm expression of an ACE pilot. Immediately afterward, the monotone mechanical voice of [World] began to play.
"Voiceprint recognition has begun. Please read out the identification number in Mandarin Chinese after the 'beep--' sound."
Holy crap!
[Broadcaster or pilot?]
[Good heavens, Yan Country not only knows martial arts, they also have Gundams!]
[Damn, isn't the fact that China has Gundam a meme?]
The comments section was flooded with messages, but Feng Xue kept a straight face and spoke in very standard Mandarin:
"WL-337299".
"Identification complete. Welcome to pilot this unit. AI World at your service. This unit is currently under attack. We recommend entering combat mode immediately."
"Entering rapid response mode, setting a 5-second countdown for shield deactivation."
"Understood. Rapid response mode activated. Current bilateral feedback: 5. Shield deactivation countdown: 4, 3..."
A series of enigmatic yet impressive dialogues quickly drew viewers in, even those who were completely clueless. Mecha enthusiasts and military fans alike were instantly swept up in the excitement, with the screen filled with comments discussing technical terms, the function of the mecha's internal structure, and its technological sophistication.
On the main screen of the Live Broadcast Room, the shield on the surface of the machine suddenly faded. Before the Amanojaku that were still breaking the shield could react, they were kicked away by the machine's huge feet.
Suddenly, the two square structures on the front of the machine unfolded. Before the audience could even guess what they were, a series of gunshots rang out, and bullets with tracer marks sprayed out from the two openings, their target the group of people telling stories in the open space in front of the shrine.
The Supernatural Tale Fire is not easy to destroy, nor is the ritual, but nothingness is fragile. As long as they cannot gather a hundred nothingnesses to tell stories, the ritual will naturally be interrupted.
But just then, a muscular female unicorn demon, her body only covered by a rough-looking animal skin, rushed forward. Her body grew larger and larger as she ran, becoming like a wall, blocking the path before the circle of nothingness.
After blocking dozens of bullets with his own body, he suddenly swung his arm forcefully. As the waves surged, a wall of light appeared, blocking all the bullets.
[This guy's pecs are ridiculously exaggerated!]
As the saying goes, all the barrage comments turned to fear. After glancing at the constantly appearing barrage comments, Feng Xue felt a little relieved. At least based on the current situation, the knowledge that the audience would provide to this female ghost would probably be mostly erotic, so there was no need to worry about her suddenly having a power surge or anything.
Drawing the combat dagger from the [World] battle skirt section, Feng Xue swung the blade while glancing at the opponent's Trait, and couldn't help but frown:
"Dojigaki Douji? A girl? Is it due to the influence of 2D culture?"
Thinking about this, he began to ponder how this thing had been defeated, but ultimately couldn't recall it.
After all, it's a legend from the East. He knows that the commander and deputy commander of Mount Ooe are Shuten and Ibaraki-dōji, but he doesn't care about their fame. He knows about Dojigaki Douji because of Hoshiguma Yuugi and Heavy Hoshiguma.
"But since they're ghosts, they're basically supposed to be super strong, like drinking, and enjoy fighting, right?"
Feng Xue muttered something to herself and immediately pulled up the Joystick. Although her hand movements were slight, the machine swung the dagger in her hand with great force.
The vibrating tip of the dagger collided with the barrier erected by Dojigaki Douji, producing a harsh scraping sound accompanied by sparks.
Faced with such an attack, Dojigaki Douji actually revealed a provocative smile. She even left only one hand holding the shield, while the other hand suddenly grabbed at [The World's] wrist.
However, the dual feedback 5 means that the machine can act at five times the reaction speed of the pilot. Before the hand was even halfway out, the machine piloted by Feng Xue had already decisively retreated.
Just then, in the shadows of the machine illuminated by the dim candlelight under the night sky, a black, ghostly hand suddenly stretched out, its size even exceeding the total length of the machine.
After a slight pause in the comments, the belated "[Be careful]" messages finally filled the screen, but before that, Feng Xue had already taken another precaution.
This time, however, he was not attacked by Shuten again. Or rather, Shuten was now focusing all his efforts on maintaining the entire Mount Ooe.
Although she didn't know what abilities this almost enchanted Phantom Object possessed, Feng Xue felt it was probably more than just a way to block missiles and summon Amanojaku.
Looking at the figures, which showed that Dojigaki Douji and Ibaraki Douji were already taller than the mecha, Feng Xue's lips curled slightly. Taking advantage of their reluctance to stray from the ceremony, she created some distance and said to the AI:
"World mode changed, fighting mode activated."
"Understood. Combat mode loading. Dual feedback adjusted to 1. Cockpit transforming..."
The mechanized synthesized voices faithfully executed the commands, and the audience, who had been curious about bilateral feedback and the principles of the cockpit, suddenly received the answer.
The cockpit, which had seemed somewhat cramped, suddenly began to transform, and the previously dark cockpit was now fully illuminated.
The seat suddenly reclined, fixing Feng Xue's limbs, chest, abdomen, and neck, causing him to shift from a sitting to a standing position. He moved his body slightly, and the machine in the first-person perspective moved in sync with his movements.
At the same time, an opening suddenly appeared on the shoulder and back of the machine, and a golden cape billowed out, fluttering in the night wind behind the machine, giving the originally modern machine a touch of ancient style.
Feng Xue then used the Yellow Robe Eighteen Falls technique to shake her cloak and assume a fighting stance. The background music that originally featured the apostles suddenly switched to a Cantonese song with a strong martial arts vibe.
Immediately, amidst the cries of "Masaka!" from countless Gundam fans who felt a strong sense of déjà vu, Feng Xue shouted:
"Super, Overlord, Movie, Bullet!"
Amidst the vast expanse of grass in the live stream, the mecha, shrouded in a cape, spewed forth pale pink energy streams. As gold and pink swirled, it transformed into a sphere of light fifteen meters in diameter, which rapidly rolled across Mount Ooe.
The countless Amanojaku covering the mountainside were easily blasted apart amidst screams of agony. Dojigaki Douji, who had initially thought the attack was aimed at him, turned pale and immediately said to the one-armed male demon beside him:
"Throw me over there!"
"Knew!"
Ibaraki Douji immediately understood Dojigaki Douji's meaning. A black, Shadow Ghost hand emerged from the ground, grabbed the horned Dojigaki Douji was over fifteen meters tall, and threw him with tremendous force toward the Super Robot Mecha that was turning its head but not its body.
The art style is extremely Meme...
[Mech World] will become the most advanced mech in the current world (only at the same level of advancement, not surpassing it. For example, the most advanced mech in the SEED world is Heretic, so it will become at the same level as Heretic, not become an advanced form of Heretic). This is the upper limit, but its lower limit is the original mech, which is the Seventh Generation Unit in the Cyberpunk World. So if it goes to a world where the technology is not as good as the Cyberpunk World, this mech will not be weak.
P. S.: Regarding the yokai (supernatural beings) in the toilets of the Eastern Kingdom, there are countless. Saying three is actually an understatement. Some of the more famous ones include the Hanako) in the toilet, the eye on the wall, the Red Shoes seen through the crack in the toilet door, the peeping tom overhead, and the human head in the latrine, etc. Also, regarding the taboo against spitting, there's a rather disgusting Eastern deity. Legend says there's a god in the latrines of the Eastern Kingdom who catches spit from people larger than himself with his right hand and from people smaller than himself with his left (I can't remember the exact details, maybe his right hand is smaller and his left hand is larger). But if you spit in the toilet, he can only catch it with his mouth. Therefore, people who spit in the toilet will be punished. Don't spit...
