Chapter 196 The Invisible Enemy!
"All troops! Prepare for engagement!"
Zhao Gang's roar echoed through the communication channels of all members of the Star Shield Legion.
He piloted the "Titan," a "Gaia-class" heavy armored mech specially customized for him.
He took the lead and charged to the very front of the formation.
Behind him stood dozens of mechs, each gleaming with a cold metallic light.
It formed the first line of defense for Earth's civilization.
Shen Mo piloted the unique "Dawnbreaker," hovering at the rear of the formation.
He is not a combatant; his mission is to use the "Ingenuity of Everything" to analyze battlefield data in real time.
It also provides all mechs with a temporary "Law Enchantment".
"They're here!"
On the radar screen, thousands of red dots representing the enemy surged forward like a blood-red tide.
"Fire!"
Zhao Gang roared, and the two giant electromagnetic cannons on his mecha's shoulders instantly spewed out dazzling flames.
The specially crafted armor-piercing bullets, enchanted by Shen Mo, trailed blue flames and shot towards the enemy ranks at near-light speed.
boom!
One of the leading biological warships was accurately hit by one of the cannonballs.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The biological warship, which was hundreds of meters long, did not explode.
Instead, a fist-sized "hole" appeared at the spot where it was hit.
Immediately afterwards, the hole began to expand rapidly, like a black hole spreading across the hull of the warship.
The warship's flesh, bones, energy core—everything—was "disappearing" at a visible speed.
In less than three seconds, the huge warship simply vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace of wreckage.
This is the power of the "Law of Annihilation".
"Well done!" Zhao Gang roared excitedly.
The Star Shield Legion's warriors were greatly encouraged and opened fire.
For a moment, countless blue beams of light crisscrossed in Earth's near-Earth orbit.
The entire space battlefield was transformed into a spectacular fireworks display.
The biological warships were "erased" one after another, like dumplings being made.
However, the number of enemies was simply too great.
Fearless and undeterred, they braved the intense artillery fire and forcefully broke through the first round of barrage.
They clashed violently with the Star Shield Legion's mech line.
A fierce hand-to-hand battle erupted instantly.
The mech's massive alloy fists clashed with the biological warship's sharp bone spikes and giant jaws in the vacuum, engaging in the most primal and bloody collision.
A Star Shield Legion soldier, piloting a mech, was surrounded by three biological warships, and one of his arms was forcibly torn off.
Just as he was about to be torn apart, a warm life force from the blue planet beneath his feet surged into his body and mech.
The mecha's severed arm regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Holy crap! It really can bring people back to life!"
The warrior was both surprised and delighted. He roared and swung his newly grown fist, smashing it hard into the head of a biological warship.
The legend of the "Undead Legion" was proven on the battlefield.
The Star Shield Legion warriors went completely mad.
They abandoned all defensive maneuvers, trading blows for blows, fighting to the death, and battling the enemy in the wildest way possible.
The battlefield has become a giant meat grinder.
Although the Star Shield Legion had the advantage of being "immortal," the battle did not unfold in the one-sided manner that was expected.
The enemy's numbers are at least a hundred times greater than theirs.
Just as the battlefield reached a stalemate, behind the biological warship legion...
A flagship, larger than all other warships combined, resembling a mobile fortress, slowly emerged from the subspace.
"The Devourer".
The Prophet's vehicle.
It did not participate in the siege, but simply hovered quietly in the distance, coldly watching the Earth with its abyss-like bow.
Then, its bow, the deepest darkness, began to light up.
A beam of pure black light, indescribable in words, shot out from the bow of the ship.
The beam of light was not fast; in fact, it was rather slow.
It did not fire at any mech on the battlefield, nor at the Earth.
It merely swept lightly across a patch of airspace at the edge of the battlefield.
Nothing happened.
There was no explosion, and no energy fluctuation.
But at this moment, Su Chen's will felt an unprecedented, bone-chilling cold.
"not good!"
On the battlefield, Zhao Gang was engrossed in the battle.
He suddenly realized that a voice he knew very well had disappeared from the communication channel.
"Wang Hai? Wang Hai! Hear me!" Zhao Gang roared.
Wang Hai was his adjutant, and he had just been on his right flank, covering for him.
no respond.
Zhao Gang suddenly turned his head and looked towards the right wing.
It was completely empty.
Wang Hai's mecha has disappeared.
"Command center! Report Wang Hai's location!" Zhao Gang cried out anxiously.
In the command center, Lin Xue, who was in charge of monitoring the battlefield, stared nervously at the screen.
On her screen, the green dot representing Wang Hai's mecha just vanished into thin air after being swept by that black light.
It wasn't the red of destruction, nor the gray of signal interruption; it was a complete and clean disappearance.
"Zhao Gang... Wang Hai... he..." Lin Xue's voice trembled.
She didn't know what to say.
Even stranger things happened.
Zhao Gang suddenly felt as if a part of his mind was empty.
"Wang Hai...who is Wang Hai?"
He asked, bewildered.
Then, not only him, but all the warriors of the Star Shield Legion, including Elder Long and Lin Xue, who were far away in the command center, were stunned at the same time.
Wang Hai?
Do we... know someone named Wang Hai?
It seems... there is?
Or perhaps... there isn't?
All memories of that name were rapidly becoming blurred, and then being completely erased.
Even in the command center, all of Wang Hai's personnel files, attendance records, and combat footage all became blank data at the same time.
This person seems to have never existed in this world.
The world has been plunged into an unprecedented and bizarre panic.
On the battlefield, a soldier watched helplessly as his comrade-in-arms, fighting alongside him, was swept away by that black light.
Then, his comrade, along with his mech, slowly became transparent before his eyes, and finally disappeared completely.
But in the next second, he forgot his comrade's name and appearance, and forgot all the past times they had spent drinking and bragging together.
All he knew was that it seemed like someone was missing from his side.
But he couldn't remember who was missing.
This fear of being erased from existence at its very root is ten thousand times more terrifying than death itself.
"They are 'civilization erasers'!"
Su Chen's will, filled with unprecedented anger and solemnity, exploded in everyone's minds.
"It doesn't attack matter; it attacks 'existence' itself! It's erasing our 'definitions' from the laws of the universe!"
"Hold on! I'll think of something!"
Su Chen's will instantly returned to the moon.
He knew that the Gaia force field could not withstand this causal-level attack.
The only hope lies in that "Blade of Severance"!
He forcibly activated the "Eye of the Moon," pouring all the energy of the entire moon into that leaping causal law.
