Master of the Marvel Universe

But Saiki Kusuo had directly captured a prisoner. If S.H.I.E.L.D.'s bald chief learned that Hydra, which should have been wiped out decades ago, still existed, they would inevitably launch an investigation.

So their true target should have been this Hydra assassin: kill him, then ensure every lead ended with the gang organization controlled by Hydra.

"Should we hand him over?"

Through Shen He's thoughts, Saiki Kusuo understood the reason behind it all.

"Of course not." Shen He opened his system and fixed his gaze on a powerful defensive weapon in his inventory. "The weaker you are, the more arrogant your enemies become. Saiki, since we exposed our unusual nature the moment we arrived, we might as well make a big show of it."

Inside the inventory was the only four-star rare armament from the previous ten-pull premium draw aside from Saiki Kusuo: Mirage!

It came from the world of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, the strongest mech of its protagonist, Lelouch.

It was equipped with the Druid System and the Absolute Protection Field System, possessing fortress-class defensive power as well as a flight system.

"If we bring that thing out, we'll be in endless trouble afterward." Saiki Kusuo heard Shen He's plan.

"We're already in endless trouble, Saiki." Shen He's thoughts were clear. "I'm not the kind of person who hoards everything and refuses to give up a single scrap. Besides, as long as we display our strength, we'll have the right to seek allies and make our enemies think twice before acting—this is for our carefree life!"

"...Fine."

Saiki Kusuo hated drawing attention. If possible, he only wanted to live the life of an ordinary high school student.

But since he had already agreed to help, there was nothing to be done.

Whoosh—!

Amid a piercing shriek, a rocket struck the place where the two had been standing.

Boom!

Through the thunderous explosion, a giant machine shot into the sky from the billowing smoke.

Its black main body, gold armor plating at the joints, towering size, and slender proportions made the massive Mirage mech look like only one thing—cool!

"Hahaha! Mechs really are every man's romance!"

Shen He could not help bursting into laughter. The moment he sat inside and touched the controls and keyboard, ambition and fighting spirit surged within him.

Just like the earlier Gale, merely touching it filled his mind with the basic operating methods. Though they were only basic controls, Mirage itself had been designed around high-intensity defense and heavy-weapon assault modes.

"What's that?"

"Oh no, something's falling!"

"Run!"

The people on the street below had been drawn by the explosion, but the concrete falling from high above quickly sparked panic.

Even an egg dropped from several hundred meters up could become a deadly weapon.

Not to mention the shattered chunks of stone and glass.

Yet the massive mech soaring through the sky made a graceful turn and descended straight toward the low altitude.

"Blaze Luminous (Absolute Defense Field), activate!"

Shen He fiercely crossed the mech's arms. A pink defensive field activated, blocking every falling object from above.
