Instead, it was connected to his nerves like a body, as though this steel form were an extension of his own flesh and blood!
Just as Huo Linfei controlled the Phantom Unicorn God, the Mecha was his body.
"What the hell is that?!"
Mighty Lion Douluo's red mane bristled as he stared fixedly at the five- or six-meter-tall steel behemoth, instinctively sensing danger.
