Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

From the signs… the Solar System’s defeat was certain, but he could not say it, as it would not change anything. Just like Lie Guang’s death, fate was predetermined. He had taken Lie Guang as a disciple, why? To save him?

He was unable to save him, it was just to make himself feel better. As a person, how was it possible to see past everything?

The fleets were battling fiercely, the mech warriors were killing each other, the laser cannons by the planetary level battleships were able to tear a hole in space. This was the strength of mankind’s weapons. Various ships lit up space as they were engulfed in flames, followed by the unforgettable screams of help.

For the warriors, their gazes never wavered. They had to fight to the death.

Achilles, Lie Xin, Zhang Shan, and the rest were shouting, commanding their units to maintain formation, attack the enemy. This was a round of intense battle.

Four mecha different from those around them appeared. These were the mecha used by Heaven-rank experts. A laser blast headed towards Lie Shuangtian’s mech, and it was sliced in one strike.

Samadhi’s flames enshrouded Lie Huo’s mech. All of this was preparation for this day. After advancing in rank, Heaven-rank experts did not have many opportunities for battle, as their every action represented their country. Before leaving, Lie Shuangtian went to the Sage Sect’s Saint Mountain but did not manage to see Odin. When he was young, Lie Shuangtian thought he was the symbol of the rise of his country; however, it did not happen. Even at Heaven-rank, he was unable to change this world, and he was unable to understand it.

However, now he knew that he was Solar System’s last line of defense, and not far from him was the Doyle family’s Shelley Ritter. She was his opponent before, but now they were fighting on the same battlefield. They had thought about leading Solar System’s rebirth, but as they aged, they realized that an individual’s strength was completely different from one’s ability to lead. Whatever it may be, they now had the ability to defend their homeland as existences above others.

On the opposing side, there were two Maacah Republic super mecha, piloted by Heaven-rank warriors. In the world of Heaven-ranks, they had never met each other, yet they were no strangers.

Boloni and Zar looked at each other. They had an understanding of their opponents. The power of Heaven-ranks originated from the Solar System. In the early stages of the Star Voyage era, the Solar System had the power to rule. But as the era progressed, Heaven-ranks appeared from the explorers of various countries, while the Solar System went on a decline and was eventually replaced. After many years, it was rare for the Solar System to display such strength, and in other countries, sightings of Heaven-rank warrior activities were frequently reported. But it was obvious that such reports had been edited.

The fighting capabilities of Heaven-rank warriors could be described as warlike. Boloni against Shelley Ritter, Zar against Lie Shuangtian, the Heaven-rank battle was earth-shaking. Even in a war of this scale, they managed to forcefully create their own battlefield. The surrounding mecha gave way to them, and the laser cannons of the battleships avoided this area as well.

Shelley Ritter Doyle carried the pride of the people of the Moon.

In the hands of Shelley Ritter, the Heavenly Dragon Knight could unleash shocking fighting capabilities. The mech was a medium that allowed Heaven-rank warriors to use their strength more freely in the universe. They no longer needed simple attacks like lasers, as they could no longer threaten each other. The only thing that could threaten them was amplified force.

The Heavenly Dragon Knight charged forward fiercely. Her opponent, Boloni, was a defensive type, piloting the Maacah Republic’s Glorious mech. He used his laser sword to keep a tight defense. On the whole battlefield, the coalition forces were dominating. The super soldiers were confident, with the better mentalities – they were in no rush.

On the other side, Lie Shuangtian began a fury of attacks. His flames lit up the sky. There were numerous super soldiers who were unable to reach Heaven-rank. It was simply the direct usage of force; whatever element it may be, it was all the same. However, the Lie Flame Technique was an exception. Even at Heaven-rank, the force retained its strong elemental color, increasing the attacking power. This was a specialty of the Lie Flame Technique, which meant that the members of the Lie family would always attack.

Lie Wuxuang hoped to annihilate his opponent, while Zar’s intentions were clear: to hold his ground. In actual fact, simply defending in a Heaven-rank battle was not possible. For people who have mastered the inner universe, and surpassed physical limits, it would be difficult for the attacker to be exhausted. Moreover, it would create momentum, increasing the strength of attacks, allowing for the strongest attack to be unleashed. This was the most dangerous attack, and Zar and Boloni had to survive it.

Shelley Ritter and Lie Shuangtian felt that it was weird. It was rare for Heaven-ranks to specialize in defense unless there were other plans. Judging from the current situation, it was an opportunity they could not pass on. They did not know about the overall situation of the Solar System’s military, and they were unable to get an accurate judgment from Drachmach and Lie Wuqing. Even if the strength of the coalition forces was greater than the Solar System’s, if the two of them were able to win, it would tilt the battle in their favor.

In the galactic battlefield, all of the super soldiers were fully deployed. Unlike Achilles and the rest, Zhang Shan did not choose to be a battleship commander.. To be honest, Zhang Shan felt that they would play their role better as super soldiers, and help to better raise morale. But mech warriors were lower in priority, and the final victory would not be determined by mech warriors. Compared to Meng Tian, who mainly studied how to command a battleship and had rich experience and capabilities in this field, the others were merely average.

Zhang Shan was much more mature now, and everyone had the right to choose their own path. At the beginning, Zhang Shan did not have much feelings for those under him, as the time he had spent with them was short. Moreover, he was back in the Solar System, just due to the fact that he was an earthling trying to defend his homeland, but when the battle truly began, he understood. This was home. No matter how many problems this place had, this was his home, a place which he needed to defend with his life.

The warriors next to him vanished one by one. This was the fate of mech warriors – the highest death rates in battle belonged to mech warriors.

Zhang Shan was leading a commando unit. The military did not know about Zhang Shan’s true strength, but he was famous, so they had given him a decent mech so as to give him flexibility. Initially, Zhang Shan followed the movements of the fleet, but he quickly discovered that this would lead to complete annihilation. The Solar System’s command was rigid, and the mech warriors were simply a line of defense for the fleet. They were unable to fully exploit the capabilities of the mecha, and this tempo was like quicksand, causing them to sink in deeper and deeper.

Zhang Shan was not the kind of person to wait and die. While he obeyed orders when entering the military, in life and death situations, he did not care. He could not let this go on any further. He left the command to his vice captain and charged to the center of the battlefield on his own.

To take a risk, it must be a risk worth taking. This was the spirit of Saruman Snake.
