The Final Strike

The dark night was about to end.

The shining stars gradually dimmed their brilliance, and gaps slowly appeared in the gray clouds.

Where the sea met the sky, streaks of golden light rose from below the horizon, like arrows loosed from a bow, about to pierce the long night.

One by one, mechs were deployed from massive transport ships, cutting through the thick clouds and descending directly towards the ground!

Green dots lit up on Xing Tian's energy radar, one after another, constantly pushing forward.

Bang!

A white figure landed in front of Xing Tian, splashing countless crystalline waves.

This was a white mech that Yu Xiao had never seen before. Unlike the almost sacred white of the White Angel, this mech's white was more like the snow of winter.

Its entire body was covered in streamlined light armor, standing about 75 meters tall. All its joints were equipped with dynamic balancing devices, and the lines of the entire mecha exuded elegance and fluidity, completely lacking the heavy feeling of other mechs.

However, Xing Tian's system also failed to identify the registration information of this mech.

"I didn't expect you to turn out like this," the white mech extended a hand to Xing Tian. "This time, it's my turn to protect you!"

The speaker was Bai Ying!

Xing Tian grasped the white mech's hand and slowly stood up.

"I know you must have many questions, but let's talk about them after we win this battle!" Before Yu Xiao could ask, Bai Ying spoke first. "It's a good chance for me to test the power of this new mech!"

"Roar!"

In the distant sea area, the red tentacles let out a chilling roar!

The next second, more than a dozen tentacles lunged towards the mechs on the coast!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Countless artillery sounds erupted behind Xing Tian, and the sky-filling hail of bullets streaked over their heads like meteors.

Instantly, various explosions of light erupted among the tentacles, and large swathes of black smoke obscured Xing Tian's vision. Only shattered flesh and splashing beast blood fell into the sea!

"All units, attack!!!"

Over thirty mechs charged simultaneously towards the direction of the wormhole!

Vroom!

Black scales completely encased Xing Tian's body, and the power output of its reactor was once again pushed to its peak!

Xing Tian pulled the battle axe embedded in the ground!

"Attack!"

One white and one black mech charged at the very front of the entire team!

Just then, the scale of the wormhole suddenly expanded again. This time, not only a dozen red tentacles emerged from the hole, but also half of a five-hundred-meter-long giant claw!

"Watch out for evasion!"

As soon as Bai Ying finished speaking, dozens of tentacles attacked everyone at a speed that tore through the air!

Swish!

Two orange-red energy longswords sprang from behind the white mech!

Immediately after, the white mech began to transform. Hidden turbo-electric accelerators unfolded from under its armor, allowing this mech to reach a speed that even Yu Xiao marveled at!

If the mech's appearance before was like a dancer, then after transforming, it was more like a butterfly spreading its wings!

Just as the tentacles were about to strike them, a blue light flickered under the white mech's feet!

The next moment, the mech, wielding its swords in both hands, leaped above the tentacles in a movement like a carp leaping over the dragon gate!

Swish! Swish!

Two orange-red beams flashed before Xing Tian's eyes, severing the tips of the tentacles and their connecting points, leaving them hanging by a thread!

But this was only the beginning of Bai Ying's assault!

The white mech dodged all attacks with incredibly exaggerated speed. Every jump it made was as agile and graceful as a butterfly dancing among flowers!

And behind them was a symphony of steel and fire!

Mechs from different legions, different combat styles, different equipment modules, different tactical configurations.

They cooperated with each other, covered each other, and advanced fearlessly on a battlefield that could be called a disaster!

Last time, Leviathan appeared and buried countless mechs beneath the boundless sea.

The heavy blow caused the Watcher Alliance to face unprecedented doubt, making many citizens lose confidence in mechs.

For these surviving pilots, some chose to persevere, some chose to withdraw, and even more chose to sink into despair.

Could humanity truly win this war?

Although no one knew the outcome, one mech stood up!

It single-handedly blocked the beast tide and killed a Level 4 monster alone!

And facing another giant beast comparable to Leviathan, Xing Tian still did not flinch!

Even a decade-old mech could fight this hard. What reason did they have to despair any longer!

The outcome wasn't important; the choice was!

More and more tentacles emerged from the ever-expanding wormhole, attacking the sea with bloodthirsty madness!

The colossal claw was already two-thirds of the way out of the wormhole!

Mechs fell one after another under the tentacles' savage assault, but that didn't stop the remaining mechs from pressing forward!

Bai Ying, piloting a brand-new mech, carved a path for Xing Tian without pause. The orange-red dual swords were even stained green halfway up with monster blood!

"Xing Tian!"

Yu Xiao heard a call from behind. It was the White Angel who had repaired Scorpion earlier!

But now, this White Angel lay fallen on the sea. Where its multi-functional mechanical arms should have been, there was nothing.

"For humanity!"

The White Angel's portable propulsion system detached, flying towards Xing Tian's chassis!

As the familiar modules were reinstalled onto Xing Tian, the frenzied tentacles had already pierced the White Angel's mech body!

Yu Xiao gritted his teeth hard.

All thrusters erupted with dazzling light at that instant, and Xing Tian's chest power core turned blood red!

[Overload Mode Activated]

Xing Tian's speed doubled instantly, catching up to Bai Ying dancing in the air within seconds!

At this point, the distance between them and the wormhole's edge was less than a thousand meters.

As if sensing the impending crisis, over a dozen tentacles lunged at Xing Tian and Bai Ying!

RUMBLE!

Just as the two mechs were completely surrounded by tentacles, a series of blinding flashes erupted amidst them!

All remaining mechs unleashed their firepower without reservation at the tentacles encircling the pair!

Red flesh and green blood rained down on the two mechs, and severed tentacles let out heart-wrenching wails!

Meanwhile, the wormhole expanded to its limit. The enormous black claw had already gripped the edge of the wormhole, creating a hundred-meter-high tidal wave!

A massive octopus head slowly emerged from the opening. Its blood-red pupils alone were enough to drive one mad!

This colossal beast, comparable to a Leviathan, was about to emerge!

"This way!"

At the same moment, Bai Ying carved a path with his dual swords, leaving a narrow gap just wide enough for one mech to pass!

Xing Tian immediately raised his great axe and charged, sprinting to the edge of the wormhole!

"Soul Synchronization!"

Blue light instantly enveloped Xing Tian's chassis, and the roar from the ten thrusters amplified to a deafening level!

Xing Tian leaped high, ten thruster flames, dozens of meters long, clinging to his black chassis like a comet's tail!

In this moment, Xing Tian jumped to a height even Bai Ying couldn't reach.

CRACK!

The roaring power core had even scorched the black armor covering the chassis, causing it to crack!

Xing Tian raised the great axe above his head, his massive steel hands gripping the handle tightly.

Then, he exerted force.

"Harden!"

SCHLICK!

"ROOOOAR!!!"

With the overloaded power of Xing Tian's entire body, the black axe handle embedded deeply into the monster's forehead. Gushing monster blood flooded Xing Tian's tiny frame like an ocean!

The terrifying kinetic energy left a vertical gash nearly a hundred meters long on the monster's head!

The beast's roar, enough to make one faint, echoed throughout the entire sea. Dozens of tentacles thrashed and flailed wildly in the sky and on the sea!

[Weapon calibration complete. Target locked. Laser array firing!]

As the cold, female system voice from the Truth sounded, a pure white beam of light descended from low Earth orbit!

This beam of light was like judgment from heaven, piercing the dark clouds and shooting directly towards the monster and the wormhole!

In a flash, Yu Xiao forcefully pulled out the great axe, pushed all power to the thrusters, used the monster's forehead as a stepping stone, and leaped towards the sky with all his might!

Just as Xing Tian's figure passed through the edge of the wormhole, the beam that pierced the heavens struck directly behind him!

Heaven and earth were engulfed in white.
