Dancing with Gan and Qi

Yu Xiao didn't waste a single piece of material.

As Xing Tian fused with the other two mechs, Yu Xiao decided Xing Tian would inherit all their strengths.

Both variable-frequency nuclear power cores were used to supplement Xing Tian's existing power core, doubling its overall output.

The Cobra's venomous fang chemical wrist blades and Xing Tian's built-in Slayer wrist blades were disassembled, their components added to the extra molecular memory alloy, forging an incredibly tough, long-handled battle axe.

The "Black Blood" corrosive energy rifle was compressed by Xing Tian and stored within its left arm, the muzzle hidden beneath the limb. The excess metal was used to construct Xing Tian's skeletal frame—the price of proportional scaling was a smaller caliber and significantly reduced destructive power.

"Stinger" corrosive missiles were integrated into Xing Tian's shoulders, the "Giant Claw" thermal acceleration cannon was placed on its right arm, and the "Scorpion Tail" composite giant metal chain sword was moved from its spine to Xing Tian's chest, capable of extending from the wrist along the arm's bones.

The Scorpion's proud heavy armor was directly mounted onto Xing Tian's exterior, while the Cobra's anti-energy light armor was used as inner plating, covering the skeletal frame.

After this fusion, Xing Tian had practically reached the pinnacle of third-generation mechs!

But this came at a cost. Inheriting all the strengths of the two mechs, Xing Tian's weight had reached a terrifying 18,000 tons!

Even Lava, fully equipped with heavy weaponry, weighed no more than 16,500 tons.

Furthermore, Xing Tian's current weight was without any long-range ammunition, as the spare ammunition from the other two mechs had been completely depleted before the fusion.

While Xing Tian's mobility had decreased significantly, its immense weight gave it an advantage in close combat!

For instance, right now.

As Yu Xiao swung the axe with all his might for the second time, he could even see the surrounding air vibrating!

The indestructible great axe once again carved a black arc through the air, its sharp and heavy blade effortlessly crushing all the monsters' flesh and bone as if slicing vegetables!

But before Xing Tian could retract the great axe, a hammerhead beast of exceptional size charged directly at Xing Tian's power core!

CLANG!

With a world-shattering roar, the hammerhead beast's body ceased all movement.

Xing Tian remained standing, unmoved.

Thick green beast blood splattered across the ghost-faced armor on Xing Tian's chest. The hammerhead beast's shattered skull slowly slid off Xing Tian's frame and fell to the ground with a thump.

Yu Xiao didn't even hear the system's armor damage warning.

The only sound he heard was the sound of evolution points flying into his balance.

"My turn!"

This time, Xing Tian took the initiative, swinging its great axe and charging upstream against the surging beast tide!

One circle! Two circles!

As Xing Tian advanced, it continuously cleared all obstacles in its path with the great axe!

With every rotation of the black great axe, countless pieces of flesh scattered, accompanied by roars that made the very air tremble!

Whenever Xing Tian's attack left an opening, countless monsters would try to seize the opportunity to tear it to shreds!

But they were met only with broken giant claws, shattered skulls, and the next round of the great axe crushing them into dust!

Xing Tian continued to swing its great axe tirelessly, step by step, treading over countless nauseating corpses, gradually pushing back the surging beast tide to its starting point!

On the Truth, everyone watched this spectacle in astonishment—Xing Tian, alone, armed with only a black great axe, was single-handedly fighting the entire beast tide!

It wouldn't get hurt, wouldn't show fear, and even every swing of the great axe maintained its rated power, turning countless monsters into casualties of its blade!

"How did he do it!"

"Did he 'absorb' the Scorpion and the Cobra?"

"Do mechs of this intensity even exist..."

"And Xing Tian isn't even being controlled by a pilot right now!"

Yuan Zhen listened to the chatter on the ship and slowly smiled.

Xing Tian's performance far exceeded Yuan Zhen's expectations, but this was not a bad thing for her.

The more mysterious and powerful, the more valuable!

In fact, it wasn't just Lava on the ground and the Truth in the sky that were shocked.

All the legions about to arrive at the Silent Graveyard witnessed this scene that could only be described as "absurd"!

"If all our mechs were like this, the monsters would have been driven off this planet long ago!"

"I heard Xing Tian is a mech that can act autonomously, so it doesn't even need a pilot?"

"Dr. Yuan is Xing Tian's designer, perhaps this is Omega's latest technology!"

"Even the Xing Tian of the past couldn't have been this strong..."

Although Yu Xiao couldn't hear their exclamations, he could feel himself, as the mech soul, rapidly growing!

His processing power was increasing, and his memory capacity was expanding.

With every step forward, his fusion with Xing Tian deepened!

With every swing of the great axe, the movements he controlled Xing Tian with became more natural!

Yu Xiao could even hear a pleasant hum from the depths of the power core—the sound of countless heavy atoms completing fission reactions.

That was the sound of his heart beating!

After the thirty-second swing of his great axe in front of him, the entire beast tide had turned into lifeless flesh and blood at Xing Tian's feet.

And within the Truth's field of vision, the straight line Xing Tian had carved was like a sharp, piercing blade, driving directly through countless corpses and a sea of blood!

"Roar!"

Thunderous Bolt let out its most chilling roar!

But this time, the only response it received was its own!

Thunderous Bolt slowly lowered its body, forming a straight line between its massive head and its wild, enormous tail.

The next second, Thunderous Bolt moved!

The whistling gale was its breath, the splashing waves were its footprints, and the rapidly moving Thunderous Bolt had transformed itself into the sharpest weapon!

It was a speed that its size shouldn't possess!

Even if Xing Tian shed all his equipment and had five rocket thrusters strapped to his back, Yu Xiao wouldn't dare to guarantee he could match Thunderous Bolt's speed!

Too fast!

The instant Yu Xiao decided to raise his guard, the unbelievably fast Thunderous Bolt was already face-to-face with him!

But before he could even clearly see Thunderous Bolt's movements, a thick, massive claw had already shot directly towards Xing Tian's head!

BOOM!

Yu Xiao instinctively brought his great axe horizontally in front of him, blocking this ferocious and violent strike!

The vibrating air stirred up fifty-meter-high monstrous waves on the sea's surface, and the sound of metal colliding with claws echoed through heaven and earth like thunder for a long time!

Xing Tian's single red eye instantly brightened!

Yu Xiao knew he had found his match.
