Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2128: Encounter Battle!
Amidst the surging waves, the Bronze Horde's hive rapidly rushed into the Star Path, blocking the Argonot's path and forcing it to leave the Star Path.

The concert, which had reached its climax, came to an abrupt end the moment the piercing alarm blared.

Sherry, who was completely absorbed in her performance, didn't react at first, but when she saw thousands of audience members leaving their seats at top speed and rushing to their spots, she frowned.

"What an awful feeling! And of all times, it has to be this time."

"Miss Sheryl! If you are not yet satisfied, you can continue, and the concert can still be heard and seen by the people of the Argonot."

Belfast, who was standing nearby, smiled and offered a suggestion.

"Oh? Is that so? Then it's a front-line performance?"

Sherry's eyes lit up, and her expression gradually became excited.

"That's a great suggestion!! I love it! So, when can we start?"

"Please wait! The signal switching will take a little longer!"

"Okay! I'm ready at any time!"

Sherry responded with high spirits.

Nothing excites Sheryl more than singing her heart out on the front lines, letting both sides hear her voice.

Moreover, her audience is no longer the humans of the original timeline, but the much larger universe.

"Come on! Listen to me sing! Even if I, Sheryl Nome, come to a new universe, I will definitely make everyone fall in love with my singing!!"

Seeing that spirited look, Lin Mingmei nodded slightly and then abandoned her plan to sing on stage, choosing to remain as a backup.

"I really can't bear to interrupt Sheryl's high spirits!"

Seeing Jin Gang looking at her with a puzzled expression, Lin Mingmei smiled gently.

"Besides, Xiaoya said it's just a few insect nests, and we don't need to do anything about it."

Xiao Ya, sitting on Lin Mingmei's shoulders, nodded repeatedly, then waved her little fist to show her contempt for the insect hive.

"You little rascal, you're quite cunning."

After gently tapping Xiaoya, Jin Gang sent a message to He Ming, informing him that Lin Mingmei would not be performing on stage.

"Won't Miss Lynn Minmay perform on stage?"

Upon entering the meditation pod, Deannara projected her consciousness onto the hangar where He Ming was located, and happened to see Aige sitting on the back of Cheng Ying·Lie Kong.

"Yes, Sheryl can handle this battle. No need to worry."

He Ming put on the helmet and looked at Aiji.

"Aige, aren't you going to find Iolaus?"

After reconciling with Iolaus, Edge has been following Iolaus's mobile suits in sorties. Why is he coming to find him now?

Aiji thought for a moment, then made a few strange gestures and made a few very strange noises, leaving He Ming somewhat confused.

"what do you mean?"

Deanna, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth and chuckled, then quickly explained.

“Edge said he remembers the last time he fought you, you were able to jump. So this time, he wants to experience that feeling again.”

He Ming was taken aback.

Space jumping isn't anything new to Edge, is it?

After Deannala found Edge, Iolaus took him to experience it firsthand several times.

"Didn't Iolaus take you through this before?"

Edge shook his head and gestured with his hand. "It's different. But I can't explain it."

What a helpless feeling.

"Never mind! Whatever!"

He Ming waved to Xiao Ying, who immediately understood and entered the system space of Cheng Ying·Lie Kong to wait for orders.

"Please be careful later, there might be some impact."

"Yes! I will be careful. Lord He Ming."

To be honest, Deanna was also curious about how Cheng Ying·Lie Kong managed to do that, managing to hold off Belcrown with a jump that had almost no cooldown and no burden.

After showing the footage of the battle to Iolaus, Iolaus was immediately stunned.

His superpower is indeed spatial teleportation, but each spatial teleportation consumes physical and mental energy, making it impossible for him to perform a teleportation without cooldown or burden.

If it weren't for the fact that He Ming didn't grant permission, Iolaus would probably have been the first researcher on the Argonot to investigate why the Shadow Rift could make almost an infinite number of jumps.

The moment the door of Cheng Ying·Lie Kong closed, He Ming's helmet changed, transforming into a spiritual headband that connected He Ming's spirit with Cheng Ying·Lie Kong.

"Xiaoying, Trans-Am! Quantum Burst!"

"Understood! Trans-Am! Quantum Burst!!"

"boom!!"

Magical patterns lit up on the body of the Shadow Rift, depicting mysterious rays of light, and the GN Drive also suddenly unleashed its hidden power.

Suddenly, the entire hangar was filled with golden GN particles.

Then, the center of the GN particle vanished instantly, leaving behind a group of human crew members who were captivated and shocked by the golden GN particle.

The illusory figure of Deannara beside her covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at the empty space where Chengying·Liekong had been.

"This, this power, can connect everyone's spirits together?!"

"Buzz!"

On high alert, the Argonot quickly deployed its defenses. Five insect hives lined up in a straight line in front of the Argonot, releasing countless insects that swarmed towards it.

Behind the Argonot, the insect hives that had forced the Argonot out of the Starway also broke away from the Starway and surrounded the five insect hives in front.

1: 8!

The advantage is mine!

Paet O coldly watched all of this from the side.

After separating from the human alliance fleet, even the strongest ship has its limits.

Eight insect hives, countless insects—let's see how the Argonot copes.

Suddenly, an unfamiliar mental fluctuation swept over, and Paet O's expression shifted, subconsciously turning his gaze to the back of the five insect hives.

A golden glint of light flashed by, and a machine that had been seen on the battlefield in the solar system suddenly appeared, along with Nodos of the Black Iron Clan.

"Then what exactly is it?"

Amidst countless rays of light, the colossal hero Belcros reappeared.
This time, however, it's not about fighting against Cheng Ying·Lie Kong, but about fighting alongside him.

Belcouros lowered his gaze, glanced at Cheng Ying·Lie Kong, and then transformed into a streak of light, crashing straight into the nearest insect hive.

The next second, countless flames erupted from inside the insect nest, tearing the unfortunate nest apart like a volcanic eruption.

Then, under the dazzling light, the first Zerg hive of this encounter became cosmic dust.
