Good morning, Dexter!

In the morning, before Dexter could even sit down as he walked into the classroom with his School Bag, someone immediately reached out to greet him.

"Good morning," Dexter replied, then calmly took out his workbook from his School Bag. The next moment, several classmates rushed up to him, holding their own workbooks and starting to work on their assignments.

Dexter seemed used to this situation. He put down his School Bag, took out a notebook, and then said:

What about mine?

"Here it is!" Upon hearing Dexter's question, a student who had already started writing seemed to have just remembered and immediately pulled out his notebook and handed it over; it was yesterday's Budali Mandarin homework.

A rustling sound filled the classroom, but as the copying progressed, the students gradually lost their sense of urgency and began chatting while copying.

As for copying it wrong... that's actually a good thing.

Did you watch the live stream yesterday afternoon?

"Look at it, the Heavenly Court's new mecha is absolutely awesome!"

"What's so cool about him? He looks like a Titan. I prefer that series that appeared on the Third Island Chain battlefield in Kame Country a few days ago. That one can transform, it can transform!"

"The transforming mechs are cool, but their combat record is just average. The strongest ones so far are the smaller mechs; one of them can take on five G Series mechs."

"What battle record? It's just survivor bias. The Ideal Country has the most advanced technology and the most mechs deployed, so it also has the most destroyed ones. If the transforming mechs were to face the G Series, they could still achieve a 1 to 20 victory!"

"Well, isn't the Titan flavor good?" Dexter said weakly. "I thought that mecha from yesterday was quite unique, and technically very interesting, especially that costume-changing system..."

"Dexter, you don't understand!" a boy sighed immediately upon hearing this.

"That transformation system is basically like knight transformation magic or transformation spells. It switches forms by using different pre-configured Magic Power. It's not very technically demanding, and I can use it all. I just added it to the mecha. To put it bluntly, this kind of mecha is just the pilot casting magic on the mecha. It's not even as good as the pilot fighting it himself!"

"You know everything now!" the boy next to him immediately retorted.

"Your transformation magic can envelop a 15-meter-tall Mechanical Construct? There haven't been any reports of such a mech being shot down yet. Nobody knows what its design concept is, and even the experts don't dare to speak out. How do you know it's just transformation magic? If it's just transformation magic, then what about the Bailin Country mech pilots who were suppressed by it?"

"That's not quite right. That modified mecha clearly has a lot of Titan construct influences. The Heavenly Court did this to mislead us into thinking that way; it just looks that way!"

"You think the shape of a mecha can be changed at will? Dexter, you've seen a lot, what kind of system do you think that mecha belongs to?"

Dexter, who had been copying the text with his head down, paused slightly when the topic returned to him, then spread his hands and said:

"These four recently emerged series clearly show traces of technology from four different countries, but no one can say for sure whether they actually are..."

"Isn't that the same as saying nothing at all?"

Students at school are discussing it, office workers are discussing it, and you can always hear people discussing it on the streets of various countries.

The Heavenly Court's Armed Intervention continues unabated, rapidly depleting the war potential of various nations.

With Military Factory attacked and battle lines disrupted, the conflict appears to be escalating. However, equipment is not something that can be replenished quickly. As the battlefield becomes increasingly fierce but with dwindling military spending, all nations realize that the war may be on the verge of collapse.

However, the war between the Four Extremes was not merely a struggle for human interests; it was also a need of the gods.

There are many war gods in this world, especially in the Kingdom of Bailin Country.

And in order to support these war gods, war cannot be stopped.

If there are no mechs, then use guns and cannons; if there are no guns and cannons, then use swords and knives; if even swords and knives are exhausted, then even if it's just stones and wooden sticks, a fight will still break out.

Ordinary people don't think about these things, but the top leaders of various countries are very clear that although small countries are excited about the decrease in the intensity of war, large countries can already foresee the result of divine intervention.

Then one day, the other three leaders, who hadn't been seen for a long time, appeared in the office of the four leaders.

"This can't go on."

The head of state of Bailin Country had an unfriendly expression, and his tone was full of unquestionable authority, while the president of Ideal Country simply shrugged and said:

"You just can't go on like this. Our Ideal Country doesn't have warmongers."

"Ahem." Emperor Bailang coughed lightly, frowning as he said:

"It's just that you don't have a God of War. Besides, aren't gods who rely on military technology also Gods of War?"

"..." The president of the Ideal Country did not respond, but neither did he continue to refute. Only then did the head of the Bailin Country speak:

"As you all know, I don't like to talk nonsense. The Heavenly Court might have some significant backing, so if possible, try to avoid involving the gods."

"Isn't this the most appropriate time to report it?" Speaker Budali, who had been silent all along, frowned, while the head of state of Bailin Country glared at him and said:

"Have you forgotten what happened in February?"

Upon hearing the word "February," the other three fell silent for a moment before the President of the Ideal Country sighed:

"They destroyed the entire city so easily, and millions of people vanished in an instant..."

"Yes, the gods think differently from us. What we value, they may not value as much. And [Heavenly Court], just the name itself is enough to make us think a lot more."

"But what if we can't defeat them with our strength, and instead help them become gods?" Speaker Budali was still somewhat hesitant, but Emperor Bailang spoke up:

"At this point, it's too late to think about victory or defeat. The number of people in the Heavenly Court is currently unknown, but considering the mechs they have already produced, they are definitely not a small organization. An organization capable of producing at least thirty top-tier mechs must have a considerable number of people. And the more people there are, the more difficult it is to become a god. Rather than attempting to become a god, I think this is more like a test by those small countries united together."

"That's too simplistic. The Heavenly Court's new mecha clearly shows the influence of our four nations' technology. Or do you really think they stole it from us? It's only been a few days! Even if I gave you the complete G Series technology, could you build a mecha using that technology in a few days? You can't even build a production line!"

Seeing that another argument was about to break out at the conference table, the head of state of Bailin Country tapped on his desk, looked at the other three people on the screen, and took a deep breath:

"Stop arguing. The Heavenly Court's mechs are strong, but their numbers are limited. If we cooperate and send out our elite troops, annihilating them wouldn't be difficult!"

"Elite troops? Sent out, only to let you raid our base?"

"Hehe..."
