You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 133 Tokyo: One Hundred Million Degrees Celsius (Part 1)

At this moment, Li Zhe's state of mind underwent its final transformation.

He no longer rejects or indulges in his own desires and human nature, but fully embraces them and places them under a grander and clearer strategic goal.

His will, having found the most steadfast "Tao," became purer and stronger than ever before.

"Give me--"

"break!!!"

With this roar, the Yata no Kagami appeared as summoned, shining brightly deep within his soul!
"Buzz!!!!"

The ancient bronze mirror burst forth with a dazzling light that purified all illusions.

A mirror can only be used to reflect external objects.

Therefore, this light did not come from the mirror itself, but was a perfect manifestation of Li Zhe's own will!
That pink sea of ​​flowers, made of desire, that gentle "perfect world," crumbled instantly before this absolute power that blended humanity, desire, and iron will, just like ice and snow exposed to sunlight!
The illusion shattered with a crash!
Li Zhe's consciousness returned to the real world.

He remained standing before that enormous killing stone, which exuded an ominous aura.

But at this moment, his eyes were clearer and more determined than ever before.

"Click——"

A crisp cracking sound was heard.

Under the impact of this pure and domineering will, the Killing Stone cracked open with a huge fissure in the middle!

Light shone brightly from the crevice.

A fragment of a soul, crystal clear and radiating an eerie pink glow, floated there silently...

That fragment of soul was like an infant fox still in its swaddling clothes, exuding a pure and infinitely potential life force.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the "Legendary Essence - Tamamo-no-Mae's Soul (Newborn)"!]

"Commander, based on energy attribute analysis, this spirit possesses extremely powerful potential for 'mind control' and 'illusion'." Xing's voice rang in Li Zhe's mind, tinged with lingering fear and relief. "If we can find a suitable ship carrier for it, perhaps... we can create a special ship spirit for you that specializes in 'information warfare' and 'psychological warfare'."

Li Zhe looked at the alluring fragment of the soul, nodded silently, and calmly put it into the maintenance hangar.

"Let's go, we have more important things to do."

"Yes, Commander."

He turned away, no longer looking at the Killing Stone that had lost all its power.

Piloting the Netherworld Dragon Rider, carrying two slightly blushing and heart-pounding ship spirits, they continued southward...

……

Having passed the test of the Killing Stone, Li Zhe's state of mind underwent an unprecedented transformation.

His understanding of power and control over emotions seemed to have entered a completely new realm.

Basic combat strength has also been improved again, reaching 11!

Unfortunately, their current combat strength is still far from reaching the "Foundation Building" level.

He was essentially progressing from "Great Perfection of Qi Refining" to the peak of Qi Refining.

As long as you can find the right path for "foundation building", you can definitely greatly increase your chances of successfully advancing to the next level.

As for the two ship spirits attached to his body...

After experiencing this shared test of the "sea of ​​the heart," their relationship seems to have undergone a subtle change.

They still bicker over trivial matters.

But there was less head-to-head competition and more tacit understanding of working together.

"Commander, we are about to enter the Tokyo metropolitan area, 100 kilometers ahead."

Xing's voice rang in Li Zhe's mind, pulling him back to reality from his reverie.

Li Zhe nodded and slowed down the speed of the Netherworld Dragon Riders slightly.

He found a sloping hill with a wide view and stopped. From there, he could already see the former megacity in the distance.

However, what came into view at this moment was a shocking apocalyptic scene.

Tokyo, once a city of towering skyscrapers and dazzling lights, is now shrouded in a dense, ominous, purplish-black energy field.

A massive, purplish-black tornado, connecting heaven and earth, slowly rotated in the heart of the city.

Every now and then, streaks of black lightning, like giant snakes, could be seen weaving through the clouds, emitting deafening roars.

The entire city seemed to have transformed into a gigantic and terrifying life form, carrying out some kind of evil ritual.

Above the city, countless Fel-type flying units swarmed like locusts, forming an impenetrable aerial defense line.

"Commander, based on the energy fluctuation analysis, the core of that tornado should be the imperial residence of the Evil Seed Fusang Empire."

Kazuko's voice carried a hint of solemnity: "They seem to be using the life energy of all of Tokyo to perform some kind of sacrifice, trying to summon an even more terrifying being."

"Now that things have come to this, what else do they want to do..."

Li Zhe's eyes turned icy cold.

He could clearly sense that a terrifying force was slowly gestating and taking shape at the core of the tornado.

The Featherbeak Group's "deification plan" has entered its final stage.

That's when.

Dozens of streaks of light pierced the sky and arrived over Tokyo.

It seemed to be announcing the end of an era.

next second.

The whole world seemed to have been muted.

Only one pure entity, enough to devour everything...

White.

Li Zhe instinctively closed his eyes.

Even from hundreds of kilometers away, the earth-shattering energy impact still made him feel a chill.

When I opened my eyes again.

Looking out over Tokyo, mushroom clouds are already rising...

……

3 hour ago...

United Government Forces, Eastern Theater Command.

"Commander-in-Chief! The A-2 Mech Division has successfully captured Nagoya Port and is currently clearing out the remaining enemy forces in the city!"

"The Shizuoka defense line was breached by our army aviation forces ten minutes ago, and the B-5 armored group is advancing towards the foot of Mount Fuji!"

On the enormous holographic sand table, blue arrows representing the United Government forces, like red-hot branding irons, irresistibly scorched into the dark red-covered map of the Fusang Islands.

After achieving a decisive breakthrough on the western front, the coalition government forces launched a rapid and unstoppable offensive.

The main force, centered on the two carrier battle groups in Huazhou, advanced steadily under the cover of absolute naval and air superiority.

The coastal defenses of the corrupt Japanese Empire were as fragile as paper in the face of saturation attacks from naval guns and carrier-based aircraft.

In this modern, three-dimensional war, the mech forces have demonstrated a terrifying dominance that subverts the traditional logic of warfare.

In urban warfare, heavy-duty mechs transform into mobile siege artillery, unleashing precise electromagnetic railgun fire that obliterates skyscrapers transformed into fire fortresses by the corrupted, clearing the way for subsequent troops.

In the narrow streets and alleys, highly mobile mechs weave through buildings at high speed, coordinating with swarms of drones to deliver precise "decapitation" strikes against enemy command centers...
