They Came Charging In, Shouting About Friendship, Love, Bonds, and All That
"Are you kidding me?"
Who do you think you are?
"What a weirdo!"
Just as Feng Xue issued the declaration of [Armed Intervention], all the soldiers present, whether from Bailin Country or Ideal Country, turned their weapons around. After about three seconds of silence, the musclemen from Bailin Country launched the first attack.
The body encased in a five-meter-long exoskeleton unleashed terrifying explosive power, shattering the sound barrier almost instantly. Feng Xue, sitting in the cockpit, revealed a disdainful expression, even taking the time to adjust the live stream camera to make her movements more photogenic before slowly raising her hand.
"How is this possible?" The exoskeleton, which had been launching forward, came to an abrupt stop, the intense inertia causing its internal organs to groan.
The incredulous soldiers of the Bailin Country had barely uttered that line typically used by Dark Energy when a surge of hidden force entered the machine. The next moment, the massive exoskeleton exploded, and the pilot, limp and exhausted, fell to the ground amidst the shattered parts.
"So weak! Are the warriors of Bailin Country really that weak?" Feng Xue exclaimed in disappointment, but her tone, devoid of any sarcasm, sounded even more grating to the ears of the Bailin Country people than deliberate mockery.
However, Feng Xue was not going to tolerate them. Although he could not use his powers at will in this world, as Weird Tale had held the power of [Martial] for several years and possessed the three great Phantom Object of [Peerless Martial Art], [Xuanjun Secret Scripture], and [Basic Fist Technique], he was not someone that a soldier who had trained for a few years could easily take advantage of.
The twelve-meter-tall mecha moved with effortless ease; its fingers, as thick as a human arm, could precisely perform delicate operations such as acupressure.
In the blink of an eye, within three to five seconds, all the soldiers of the Bailin Country were defeated.
The mech, resembling a work of art, twisted its body, looked at the Ideal Country mech that had received the capture order, and revealed a slight smile. Before the entire internet could witness it, it uttered words that the other party could never agree to:
"This engagement constitutes an act of invasion by the Bailin Country. You must cease hostilities now, and this Armed Intervention will be considered complete."
Although it's all nonsense, there's a fundamental difference between saying it and not saying it. At least for now, the Bailin Country soldiers who pointed guns at Feng Xue, the "Justice Partner" who helped defeat the invaders, are the ones in the wrong.
More than half a minute had passed since the [Heavenly Court Declaration] was completed, and people were only just beginning to enter the Live Broadcast Room. However, Feng Xue was not worried about the platform blocking her.
His [Live Broadcast Drone] can automatically connect to the most popular Live Broadcast Platform, so unless the entire platform is shut down, simply locking the Live Broadcast Room is useless. Moreover, even if one Live Broadcast Room is shut down, he can seamlessly connect to the next Live Broadcast Room.
Ultimately, the world is still structured around four major powers plus many smaller countries, making it impossible to instantly block Live Broadcast Room worldwide.
Seemingly aware of this, the Ideal Country soldier piloting the mech quickly activated the Wide Area Communication Channel and, following the instructions, said:
"Your machine is suspected of illegally trespassing on our military facilities. Please disarm immediately and surrender to our army, otherwise..."
"Otherwise?" Feng Xue's mocking voice came from the public channel. The next moment, blazing white flames shot out from the thrusters, and the platinum-colored mecha turned into a streak of light. Even the AI couldn't lock on in time. All the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room saw a world-famous scene, like Black Sperm capturing Atomic Samurai.
A twelve-meter-tall mech floated in the air, one hand holding the head of a twenty-meter-class Ideal Country mech. Floating Cannon, like wings, unfurled behind it, and beams of light locked onto targets. Simultaneously, a calm yet chilling voice blared through the public channel—
Don't I Think!
"Snap!"
The head of the Ideal Country mech shattered instantly, followed by a volley of fire from the other mechs.
However, the world piloted by Feng Xue was far superior in performance to this kind of grunt machine, and she avoided all the shots simply by moving left and right.
He was like a fairy dancing on ice, gliding gracefully across the battlefield. As he took those elegant and dazzling steps, the organic bodies immediately exploded in response.
"Vice Captain!"
A shrill cry rang out on the public channel, and then a machine charged forward without any sense of reason. Feng Xue raised her eyebrows, flicked her finger, and a Floating Cannon was fired.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly sure-fire attack was deflected by something and missed completely. Meanwhile, the seemingly irrational mech took the opportunity to rush in front of Feng Xue. The Assault Shield System that popped out from the lower left side accelerated a second time under the powerful thrusters, heading straight for World's cockpit.
"Interesting."
As the Floating Cannon fired simultaneously, the machine was shredded by the interwoven beams of light before the Assault Shield System could even reach the cockpit.
"Kaliana!" Another sharp cry of agony rang out, and the remaining mechs, as if just realizing what was happening, charged forward amidst their mournful wails.
Feng Xue showed no mercy, firing beams of light in succession. But then he noticed that the Combat Power of these mechs had actually increased again!
"What's going on? Is this the Spiritual Momentum that Aoyagi Lantern was talking about?" Feng Xue kicked and destroyed one of the mechs, and the remaining mechs immediately became stronger, shouting lines like "How dare you kill xx!" and "Give xx back to me!" and even their performance was boosted.
"Good heavens, in your Ideal Country, is war just about having everyone in a squad become sworn brothers, then feeding one enemy kill at the start? That way, it boosts the Combat Power of the others? What kind of Dark Military Strategy this?"
Although Feng Xue had an extra bag of salt in his hand, he didn't slow down at all. Before, he had been holding back, but now...
"Then die!"
The Floating Cannon behind World suddenly retracted, and the mech, which was only half the height of the enemy, exploded at full speed, instantly shattering all the mechs.
With the world's combined efforts, a machine of this caliber simply couldn't...
"How dare you... how dare you..."
The sound, as if from the Nine Nether Hell, did not come through the public channel but came directly from the wreckage of a mecha. The mecha was in a severely damaged state, and the pilot, covered in blood, could even be seen through the broken cockpit. However, the power that the mecha unleashed made Feng Xue frown. At this moment, he actually felt that this thing's Combat Power had surpassed that of the AO-3 mecha.
"The world's strength hasn't changed. Interesting. Let I Think just how much your so-called friendship and bonds can boost your Combat Power!"
Feng Xue's voice spread through the Gravity Clamp Cabin, and this technology, which allows singing even in the vacuum of space, carried his voice throughout the entire front-line base.
Looking at the dilapidated yet powerful machine before him, he adopted a fighting stance for the first time, his golden aura expanding rapidly as if he were transforming into Super Saiyan.
Question about coins.
Coins are not power, but rather Phantom Object; the power lies in creating coins.
What will attract the attention of the gods is the involvement of the other party's [power], not the use of related items; otherwise, wouldn't the God of Live Broadcast be able to sense everyone who does live streaming?
Simply put, in this world, if you print counterfeit money, the spirits with the Coinage Authority will sense it; however, if you use counterfeit money that has already been printed, the other party will not be able to sense it.
In other words, [Phantom Object] are acceptable! [Powers] are not!
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the Hermit is a being that possesses the power to conceal its own characteristics, so using this will not attract the attention of other deities who have the Hermit Authority.
[Difficult to understand] These are all pretty much the same.
