Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2109 The First Battle with Nodos!
"Why? Why not resist, Calchinos?"

The Silver Clan's Nodos-Yodi kept asking questions, but he could not get a response from Calkinos.

At that moment, as the two Noldos were repelled by the Path of the Stars and plummeted toward Mars, she seemed to understand why Calginus did not resist, allowing the Dark Iron Noldos to tear her apart.

"Mental instability!"

This is the most terrible curse of Noldorth!

Once it happens, there is no way to reverse it.

A hint of worry crossed Yudi's mind, but Rom Lowe, who was standing behind her, stopped her.

"There is one more person from Nodos who is uninjured."

"How could Messitaka possibly stop him!"

Ignoring Yudi's questions, Rom Law directly issued instructions to Messitaka, who was guarding the unconscious Lekdi, through a mental connection.

Deep within his own mind, unbeknownst to Youdi, Rom Rowe also had his own considerations.

The power emanating from the depths of the Star Path felt familiar, yet also very strange to him.

Not to mention the power displayed by the unidentified fleet that suddenly appeared from the Star Path and intercepted the human alliance fleet.

The power fluctuations unleashed by those hundreds of MACROSS supergravity wave cannons were enough to startle even someone as powerful as him, who stood at the pinnacle of the Silver Clan.

Under such circumstances, how could he rashly release Yudi, the Nodos of the Silver Clan, who was also his trump card?

The task of testing them can be left to that cowardly Messitaka.

This action was also noticed by Prome, the wise man who remained on the Silver Clan's home planet.

She lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then understood what Rom Rowe meant.

However, while Rom Lowe may not have noticed, Prome clearly sensed the mental fluctuations that occurred the moment the unidentified fleet intercepted the human alliance fleet.

"That fluctuation seemed familiar. Could this be the reason for the anomaly deep within the Star Path?"

Before she could investigate further, the familiar fluctuations reappeared, sweeping across the entire solar system with an even more intense and active frequency.

Amidst the increasingly active fluctuations, Prome's thoughts suddenly paused, and she couldn't help but raise her gaze to look ahead.

In that instant, she seemed to see a pair of golden eyes that shimmered with iridescent light.

"That!! That's it!"

Prometheus stood up abruptly, looking ahead in shock.

"Roar!!!!!"

The purple Nodos, the incarnation of Calchinus, lay in the giant pit, slightly swaying its head as it looked at the two figures, one large and one small, at the edge of the pit.

The one who smashed it into the depths of the pit, whose entire body was covered in fiery red light, making him appear exceptionally fierce and terrifying, abandoned his attack on Calchinos and instead turned his gaze to the figure that was slightly smaller than Nodos—Cheng Ying·Lie Kong.

As for the Gunbuster behind Chengying·Liekong, it was ignored.

"Gundam Buster, go! Watch out for his fog!"

"Yes!"

Gunbuster leaped and flew to the other side of the giant crater, waving at the purple Nodos.

"Come on! Purple Nodos, we are your opponents."

Calginus, in his guise as Nodos, glanced at Gunbuster, then looked at Belcouros, who no longer cared about his life or death, and slowly rose up, flying towards Gunbuster.

If they weren't on the battlefield and their opponent wasn't challenging them to a fight, Calginus probably would have reverted to his original form and asked what was going on. But even with so many questions in his mind, he could at least see that the two machines, one large and one small, were trying to stop Belcros's rampage.

Thinking of this, Purple Nodos pointed into the distance, then took off, leaving the place to Belcros and Chengying·Liekong.

Gambast followed closely behind.

Then, an eerie silence fell over the battlefield where only Berkuros and Chengying·Liekong remained.

Bercoulos's madness did not disappear; on the contrary, it seemed to be intensifying.

"You must be wondering about my appearance, right, Edge?"

As He Ming's headband suddenly unfolded, it transformed into a mental amplification device that fit his head even better, and a dazzling golden light shone from the depths of his pupils.

"Trans-Am, Quantum Burst, Magic Runes, activate!"

"Xiaoying! No need to hold back!"

"Yes!"

Golden GN particles suddenly erupted, instantly enveloping Cheng Ying·Lie Kong and Belcouros, and swept across Mars at an extremely fast speed, breaking through the Martian atmosphere and heading straight into space.

Amidst this vast expanse of golden GN particles, Cheng Ying·Lie Kong was swiftly enveloped in a layer of golden light armor, appearing before all living beings watching this battlefield like a golden celestial being.

However, this is not the end that Cheng Ying·Lie Kong can reach.

At that moment, the time-space crystal pendant on He Ming's chest quietly activated, echoing Lin Mingmei's time-space crystal earrings, and quickly entered a state of resonance, thus assisting He Ming.

Suddenly, a phantom image appeared within that vast ocean of particles.

"Roar!!!"

At this moment, the frenzied Belcouros could no longer restrain himself. He took a step forward and charged madly toward Cheng Ying·Lie Kong with a straight punch.

"Boom!!!"

With its terrifying power, this punch pierced through the golden ocean of GN particles, tore the Martian landscape apart, and ultimately blasted the mountain at the edge of the torn land into dust.

"Aige, if you want to fight, let's go to space! Mars can't be destroyed like Jupiter."

Cheng Ying·Lie Kong's figure flickered and suddenly disappeared, but the frantic Belcros knew where Cheng Ying·Lie Kong had gone.

With a sudden burst of power, it stomped down, and in the instant the earth cracked, it transformed into a fiery red meteor hurtling towards the universe.

"What terrifying power! Is this Nodos after his madness?"

In the briefest moment of contact, Nierbao instinctively gasped and couldn't help but feel fortunate.

If those foolish brothers are allowed to continue their reckless behavior, their entire human fleet will surely be wiped out!

But there are no "ifs"!

"Notify the entire fleet to retreat! Leave the area where Mars is located! No involvement in the battle on Nodos is permitted! Execute immediately! Also, immediately send the intelligence from this location back to Argonot!"

Nielbo made a decisive decision and ordered the fleet to retreat.

"Would you like a more detailed explanation of the situation here?"

the adjutant asked.

"As detailed as possible! Although that gentleman didn't say it explicitly, I'm afraid we—no, perhaps that gentleman—are quite disgusted with our Emperor. Therefore, under these circumstances, we can only request Her Highness the Princess to personally intervene!"
