Extra: Mecha World (3)
After briefly adapting to his greatly enhanced physique and Mental Power, Shiraha used a special secret technique of the Otsutsuki Clan to completely conceal the aura of his Chakra.
In fact, the reason why his divided soul was able to successfully smuggle into the mecha civilization was not only because his soul merged with the natives, but also because of the secret technique of the Otsutsuki Clan, which allowed him to completely conceal the aura of the Alternate Dimension after merging with the natives' bodies.
After repeatedly confirming the directions, Shiraha found the right way and returned to the school dormitory under the cover of night.
Shortly after he left, in the outer space where the planet was located, a purplish-black sphere of light, about three meters in diameter, was rapidly falling into the planet's atmosphere.
Just as the purplish-black orb was about to enter the atmosphere, a metal giant hundreds of meters tall came straight from a great distance, as if teleporting through space, and caught up with the purplish-black orb in an instant.
The enormous mech emitted a crimson glow, its surface covered with flame-like patterns, and the force field emanating from it caused space to begin to distort.
Just as the red mech caught up with the purplish-black orb of light, it clasped its hands together in front of it, and a deep red beam of light shot out from its palms, overtaking the orb and striking it directly.
"Ah!"
The shrill screams created a unique sound wave, causing numerous spatial rifts to appear in the space near the purplish-black orb.
In the blink of an eye, the light sphere lost most of its volume to the deep red light beam.
Just then, the purplish-black sphere of light suddenly exploded, turning into hundreds of smaller spheres of light that plunged into the atmosphere.
"Oh no!" The red mech suddenly exclaimed upon seeing this.
It emitted a deep red beam of light once more. The enormous beam, like a shotgun, transformed into hundreds and thousands of laser beams, shattering the vast majority of the scattered light spheres. However, five light spheres still managed to penetrate the atmosphere and disappear in an instant.
At this moment, the red mecha, hundreds of meters tall, rapidly shrank, eventually becoming a tall figure. The original mecha was attached to the body like armor. Then, the mecha completely disappeared into the tall figure, revealing a robust man about two meters tall.
The newcomer was none other than Colin Edward, a general of the Eastern Spirit Army of the Federation, Stellar-Class Mech Pilot, known as the ' Red Dragon '. Born into the Duke Edward Family, he was one of the most powerful figures in the Federation.
Kyle Boy, the president of East State Donald University and a ' Star-Level ' Mecha Warrior, was severely injured by an unknown Cosmic Being during interstellar travel, an event that caused a stir within the Federation.
Colin, as one of the Federation's top experts, joined forces with four other Stellar-Class Mech Pilot to defeat this suddenly appearing Cosmic Being and destroy its physical body. However, its soul still managed to escape, and Colin chased it for about a light-year before finally catching up with it.
Unexpectedly, this Cosmic Being went on a long detour and ended up back in outer space on the Federation Homeworld it was first discovered.
Colin looked at the spot where the five orbs of light had disappeared and did not continue his attack. The Red Dragon Mech was too powerful, and even after the soul of this Cosmic Being was split, it was still extremely strong. Therefore, he had to use all his strength to defeat it.
However, the light sphere has already entered the atmosphere. If the attack continues, the Energy Shield outside the mother planet will shatter instantly. At this distance, if the mother planet's Energy Shield breaks, a full-force attack from Stellar-Class Mech Pilot will blast the entire mother planet into pieces.
With the expansion of the Federation, the home planet is no longer the planet with the most resources, but it is still the birthplace of mecha civilization and has great symbolic significance.
To pursue a Cosmic Being, he directly destroyed his home planet and killed billions of federal citizens. Even as Stellar-Class Mech Pilot, he absolutely could not bear such a responsibility.
After this severe blow, the Cosmic Being's Soul Power has been weakened to the extreme, estimated to be less than one ten-thousandth of its original strength. Its mission is now essentially complete.
The remaining tasks can be handled by the Legacy-Level Mecha Warrior and Planet-Level mech pilots below. Although the Mecha Warrior from the academy are not as powerful as Mecha Warrior from the military, they are more than capable of dealing with Cosmic Being of this level.
With that in mind, Colin didn't hesitate and immediately turned back.
Although the battle outside the home planet did not destroy the Energy Shield, it still caused huge changes in the celestial phenomena. The home planet's advanced Mecha Warrior were mobilized and, after receiving orders from the Federation's high command, began a large-scale search and investigation to find the soul fragments of Cosmic Being.
Faced with the Mecha Warrior ' encirclement, the five orbs of light scattered and fled in different directions.
At this moment, one of the purplish-black orbs of light arrived at the valley where Shiraha's true form had previously opened the "Astral Gate".
After lingering briefly where Shiraha had been, the orb of light flickered slightly, then found its direction and flew directly towards Randall University, where Shiraha was located.
Four days passed quickly, Shiraha changed into a black evening gown and left the dormitory.
As soon as he stepped out of the villa area, he saw a handsome young man with brown hair and green eyes, wearing a dark red suit. It was Sean.
Upon seeing Shiraha, Sean quickly approached, "Lorin, you're so slow! Didn't I tell you to come earlier?"
"Isn't there still more than an hour before the banquet starts?" Shiraha took out his ID card and checked the time on it.
"This is Miss Olina's banquet. Many noble ladies from the academy will be there. Those qualified to attend are at least from the Viscount Family. This is a great opportunity to build connections. The earlier you get there, the more time you'll have to get to know others. You, why don't you understand?"
Sean said in a serious tone, but stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, staring wide-eyed at Shiraha Yu's sapphire blue eyes.
Shiraha was startled, but quickly recovered. On the surface, she remained calm, then feigned confusion and said with a look of disdain, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not one of those noble ladies!"
"Lorin, you've broken through again!?" Sean asked in surprise. Mecha Warrior have exceptionally sharp souls because they cultivate Mental Power.
Although Shiraha was able to conceal his Chakra and suppress his soul aura through the Otsutsuki secret technique, such a significant improvement in a short period of time would still leave some traces. However, with his talent, he could easily use the excuse of a recent breakthrough to cover it up.
After the main body's resources are delivered, Shiraha only needs to lie low to quickly improve his strength. However, he cannot refuse the banquet held by the Earl's daughter, as it would be easy to offend people.
At the same time, building a custom mech requires a massive amount of resources. Gelel Stone, as a life-related mineral, is extremely precious, but it can only be sold or exchanged for resources through certain channels.
In situations like these, connections come in handy.
As a Viscount Family on the verge of decline, Shiraha would not have been qualified to participate in this gathering if he hadn't demonstrated exceptional talent.
"I've made some progress recently, and I estimate I'll be entering the Fourth-Level soon."
Shiraha said with a smile.
"You rascal, we both entered Third Level at the same time, and in less than a year, you're almost at Fourth-Level. If I hadn't been called a genius since I was a child, I would have started to doubt my own talent!" Sean's tone was a little sour, and his envy was evident.
This is also one of his strengths; he doesn't hide his emotions in front of his friends.
"The Resonance Stage is the biggest hurdle, not to mention I haven't even reached Fourth-Level yet," Shiraha said, shaking his head.
"Yes." Sean sighed. The real test of genius begins after Fourth-Level.
"However, given your current progress, I think your chances of marrying into the Freyr Family have greatly increased. Miss Olina only reached Fourth-Level half a year ago. The resource gap between you and her is not small."
Sean continued, explaining that he genuinely cared about his friend's situation, as the construction progress of the custom mecha would directly affect the speed of the Resonance Stage, especially for someone with Lorin's talent, whose resources the Chris Family couldn't support.
"We'll see. I still want to rely on myself," Shiraha replied.
"You really can't compare people!" Sean shook his head and sighed. In terms of looks, he was no worse Lorin. In terms of family background, his family was now a powerful Viscount Family, not on the same level as the Chris Family, a Viscount Family that was about to decline.
Although Sean's talent was exceptional, there were others in his family who were of similar talent. Only one of them had the chance to become Fifth-Level Legacy-Level Mecha Warrior. It was a life-or-death competition, extremely brutal.
Lorin's talent has reached an exaggerated level. If he wanted to, he could marry into the Duke Family, and his chances of becoming Legacy-Level Mecha Warrior would be even higher.
"Let's go, aren't you going to meet the noble ladies?" Shiraha urged, walking towards the school gate.
