Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2016: The Power of the Final Procedure!
Countless square pillars rose from the ruins, shattering the rubble and debris pouring in from all directions, and absorbing certain substances hidden within the rubble and debris, which became nutrients for even more square pillars to rise.

As the square pillars rose one after another, a figure nearly half the size of an Axis gradually took shape.

The moment it took shape, an even colder and more terrifying wave swept across the entire battlefield, causing many pilots who were already struggling to hold on to faint on the spot.

"Whoa! What a terrifying mental shock! El!! That's a necromancer!!"

Even those on the flanks could not escape this calamity. They mustered their strength and, with pale faces, organized a retreat.

Fortunately, the Death Vanguard was in an even worse state, falling into a coma and completely losing its combat capability. The out-of-control warships and mobile suits continued their inertial motion, flying past the Earth Federation Forces' flank and gliding towards the other side of Earth.

"Ignore them! We'll retreat with our unconscious allies!"

Huso and Ernesti exchanged glances and immediately ordered the remaining Federation pilots to lead the unconscious friendly forces to a swift retreat.

Huso may not understand yet, but the trio of Ernesti, who came from the magical world, truly felt that strong evil and cold ominous aura.

"Artie, Kid, we have to retreat! That monster cannot be purified by the light magic we possess!"

After Ernesti decisively called his companions over, he prevented them from impulsively using light magic to rush into battle.

"Don't worry, El, we're not that impulsive!"

Leaving aside Arti for the moment, Kidd had already led several friendly pilots who, before losing consciousness, struggled to climb out of the cockpit to call for help and evacuated first.

"Alright! We can't leave any of our comrades behind!"

Ernesti shouted, his face turning deathly pale.

"Then, the monster has appeared!"

Inside the ever-emerging square pillars, a giant flower bud condensed from the surging pillars, forming a body a thousand meters tall with a rhomboid shape. Its four slowly unfolding giant arms lashed out in all directions, unleashing a series of fierce shockwaves.

In just a moment, all the MS and warships that had lost consciousness but had not yet received rescue were tumbling in the shockwave, like a small boat in a stormy sea, helpless and powerless to turn back, only able to be swept and rolled by the shockwave until they flew out of the battlefield or collided with other objects.

"boom!"

"boom!!!"

This moment marks the most devastating loss for both sides since the start of the battle.

Ironically, this devastating loss was not caused by the battle between the two sides, but by the shockwave generated when the monster was born!
"Stay calm! Stay calm!! Stay calm!! Everyone, stay calm!"

Rebil covered his forehead and roared loudly.

He also felt the terrifying, chilling shockwave, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

As a general and the supreme commander of the fleet, he absolutely could not lose consciousness at this moment.

Moreover, the mental fluctuations he was unleashing at this moment seemed to have exceeded the average level of mental fluctuations of everyone on the bridge.

Even when faced with such difficulties, and with the constant threat of his spirit being shattered by the chilling aura, causing him to faint on the spot, Rebil's mental fluctuations did not decrease but instead continued to leap to higher levels.

It's as if General Reibell, now in a perilous situation, is being tempered by this shockwave, heading down a path he once denied possessing the necessary qualifications.

Beneath the enormous flower bud, the four giant steel arms swung continuously, slamming the cold shockwaves across the battlefield. Twelve streaks of light leaped from the battlefield, like mayflies trying to shake a tree, rushing straight toward the giant steel arms.

"madness!"

As the armored man lowered his gaze, countless beams of light scattered from the flower bud, intercepting all twelve streams of light, but failing to destroy them.

"I-field? How is that possible?" Ironface was shocked. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the twelve streaks of light were actually the twelve floating shields controlled by Banshee Gundam. Moreover, the armor of these floating shields was covered with layers of crystals at some point.

The force field released by these crystals is the real reason why the beam of light emitted by the flower buds can be easily resisted.

"How is this possible? A mere MS can actually possess the power to withstand the ultimate level?!"

Ironclad Face was somewhat incredulous.

But he had unparalleled confidence in the final outcome.

Because this is not a power that the human world can possess!

Only a god could possess the power to destroy a fleet with the mere flick of their wrist!
The rhomboid body, topped with a huge flower bud, twisted slightly, and with a wave of its four arms, spatial rifts suddenly tore open behind it, revealing asteroids that were leaping from another dimension into the present world.

This scene terrified Rebil on the spot!
"The entire fleet!! No!! All Magellanic battleships, immediately fire those asteroids at maximum main gun power!!!"

No one knows how this was accomplished, but no one is naive enough to believe that these asteroids are merely toys summoned from another dimension!

The shockwave is still ongoing.

Even though the Earth Federation Forces' various warships were doing everything they could to stabilize the ships' balance, not a single Federation warship retreated.

As long as there were still people on their ships who could control the movement of the warships and fire the weapons, they would carry out Rebil's orders without hesitation or retreat.

"boom!!"

A violent explosion turned Rebil's face deathly pale.

That was the instant when the Salamis-class cruiser on the right side of the Gaudran was instantly destroyed by the impact of the Death Vanguard's warship.

A hint of pain flashed in Rebil's eyes, but he still shouted firmly.

"All warships!! Target: the asteroid in the dimensional rift!! Fire!!!"

Thousands of particle beams were fired from the main guns of the Earth Federation Forces' warships, bombarding the asteroid that had been summoned to this world by the flower bud giant like a storm.

"Wishful thinking! You know nothing of the power of the gods!"

With another swing of the enormous arm, a force field suddenly unfolded, blocking all attacks from the Earth Federation fleet.

"The old humanity, possessing all the inferior qualities of the world, perish under the judgment of the gods! Become nourishment for the new humanity that follows the name of Rona!!"

Iron Mask sneered, delivering the final judgment upon humanity like a god.

"You're the one who's delusional!!"

A haughty and sharp female voice rang out from the sky, and a flash of light suddenly erupted. A being named Axis descended from the distant reaches of space.

In this life, Axis once again used itself as a spear, just as it had done in dealing with the crisis brought by the Zanskar Empire, to strike the enemy with great force across a vast distance.

"boom!!!"

One by one, the cracks closed uncontrollably at that moment, leaving only the last glimmers of light from the asteroids that had been detonated by the out-of-control dimensions.

And then there was the Flower Bud Giant, who was knocked back a distance by Axis.
