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

Chapter 134 (Chapters 133-134: The End of the Operation) (To avoid censorship)

Warfare has long since transcended the traditional methods of positional advances and firepower coverage.

It evolved into a highly efficient, surgical-like contest centered around "information," "maneuverability," and "precision strikes."

Meanwhile, in the Northern Theater, the "Siberian Wolves" mech division, led by the Russian republics, displayed an overwhelming and devastating momentum.

They abandoned the strategy of steady progress and, with an almost frenzied pace, landed in Hokkaido, which they had just recaptured, and marched south, heading straight for the Kanto Plain.

All resistance along the way was completely crushed by them in the most direct and swift manner.

Finally, one hour before the scheduled decisive strike against the target city.

The two armies of the coalition government forces successfully joined forces in Saitama and Chiba prefectures on the outskirts of Tokyo, completing the strategic encirclement of the isolated city.

Countless tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, and mechs formed an endless steel wall, completely surrounding the city.

Dozens of warships patrolled the surrounding waters, blockading Tokyo Bay.

Above the sky, fighter jets roared and mechs hovered, weaving an impenetrable net of death.

The final offensive is about to begin.

……

Tokyo, the underground headquarters of the Featherbeak Group.

On the huge monitoring screen, the hellish scene inside the city was displayed in real time.

The filthy race runs rampant, and order collapses.

The remaining uninfected individuals wailed silently in despair before being swallowed by the surging black tide.

Hanekawa Sousuke, the resurrected being, and a group of core executives of the Featherbeak Group watched all of this in silence.

Their faces showed no fear or despair whatsoever.

instead……

It reveals a kind of fanaticism and expectation that is morbid to the extreme.

"Everyone..."

Sousuke Hanekawa slowly rose, opening his arms as if embracing a martyr of the apocalypse.

"We...have nowhere to retreat."

"The coalition government's blade is already close to its throat."

"The noose of the old order is about to tighten."

"but!"

His voice suddenly rose, filled with a bewitching magic.

"We will never surrender!"

"Since they attempt to destroy us, let them see what true end is!"

"With this city, with these millions of filthy creatures, with all the remaining lives, we offer this as a 'sacrifice'..."

He pointed to the center of the screen, to the ancient palace shrouded in a purplish-black energy field, his eyes burning with a madness that sought to destroy everything.

"Here we will awaken a truly... supreme being!"

"A true God capable of purifying the corrupt old world and creating an eternal new order!"

"【Amaterasu Impure World Project】, final stage..."

A twisted and ferocious smile spread across Sousuke Hanekawa's face.

"start up!"

……

With Hanekawa Sousuke's frantic announcement, an evil ritual capable of overthrowing a nation officially began.

"Buzz!!!!"

Deep beneath the palace, a massive magic array composed of countless bizarre runes and biological structures was instantly activated.

A towering, purplish-black beam of light, like a demonic spear piercing the heavens and earth, suddenly tore through the dark sky above Tokyo!

A massive abyssal rift, over ten kilometers in diameter and churning with chaos and destruction, slowly tore open above the city!
Like a giant eye from another dimension, it coldly surveyed the land about to be swallowed up.

"Roar--!!!"

"Hehehe—!!!"

Within the city, millions of filthy beings seemed to be drawn by an irresistible call.

They all stopped their killing and destruction at the same time, raised their heads in unison, their blood-red eyes filled with fanaticism and desire, staring intently at the direction of the palace in the city center.

next second.

They moved.

Like a black torrent bursting its banks, it surged wildly towards the palace from every corner of the city!

Streets, buildings, subways, overpasses...

All obstacles were mercilessly submerged, torn apart, and devoured in the face of this terrifying torrent of flesh and blood!
In just over ten minutes, the entire central urban area of ​​Tokyo was transformed into a gigantic, constantly writhing and shrinking terrifying aggregate!

Countless filthy creatures frantically merged, tearing and devouring each other, gathering their flesh and resentment into an even larger and more filthy dark energy.

And above the palace.

A massive lumps of flesh, composed of countless filthy remains, building fragments, and twisted metal, began to form rapidly.

It is like a living heart, constantly beating, drawing in the surging torrent of flesh and blood below, and growing and expanding wildly upwards!

The purplish-black veins writhed and twisted on the surface of the tumor, emanating a suffocating aura and a soaring resentment.

In just half an hour, it grew into an ultimate biological creation that was over a thousand meters tall, a hundred meters in diameter, and extremely distorted in shape, making it terrifying.

"Edo Tensei Amaterasu!"
The coalition government forces' frontline command had already taken in this horrific scene via unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

"The enemy has gone completely mad."

"Its energy composition cannot be analyzed; conventional weapons... are expected to be ineffective."

"We must stop it immediately! We can't let it take full shape!"

Faced with this terrifying existence that transcends human comprehension, the top leaders of the United Government quickly reached an unprecedented consensus after a brief but intense discussion.

"Order from the General Command of 'Operation Sunset'!"

The old general's calm and powerful voice was transmitted to every combat unit through an encrypted channel.

"All ground troops, immediately retreat to a safe distance!"

"All air units, immediately ascend to maximum cruising altitude!"

"All naval units, immediately activate the highest level of energy shields!"

He paused, took a deep breath, and gave the final instruction.

"Authorization... for the Northern Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet..."

"Execute a saturation strategic strike against the core area of ​​Tokyo!"

……

The moment the command was issued.

Several strategic strike platforms located deep in the Fusang Sea and the Pacific Ocean have quietly activated their launch silos.

One after another, long-range strategic missiles, gleaming with a cold luster, pierced the sea surface with a silent roar, streaking across the sky with long trails of flame.

At the same time, dozens of warships patrolling the near sea also aimed their shipborne electromagnetic railguns and cruise missiles at the city shrouded in darkness.

An unprecedented final judgment, in the name of destruction, is about to begin...

……

Time returns to the present.

Li Zhe gazed silently at the flower of destruction blooming on the distant horizon.

Behind him stood two solemn-looking ship spirits.

In Hoshi and Kazuko's eyes, there is only a calm witness to the impending end.

The first warhead, imbued with world-destroying power, reached its destination.

The moment it came into contact with the enormous tumor of "Edo Tensei".

The whole world seemed to have been muted.

Only a pure, all-consuming expanse remained...

Blazing white.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

Clouds of destruction, representing humanity's ultimate military power, burst forth one after another over Tokyo.

An unparalleled shockwave, like the wrath of a god, swept across the Kanto Plain.

Skyscrapers instantly turned to dust, and towering waves surged up from the solid ground. All the evil, all the madness, all the resentment…

Everything was completely evaporated and annihilated in this extreme high temperature and destructive energy that was enough to purify all things, and ultimately returned to nothingness.

That arrogant "Impure Earth Amaterasu" couldn't even utter a mournful cry.

Together with the city beneath its feet, which bore endless darkness, it turned into dust of history.

At this moment, the enemy's ambitions were once again crushed into dust.

Li Zhe silently gazed at the area completely shrouded in the clouds of destruction, a profound peace settling within him…

"Commander, the abyss energy reaction in the Tokyo area... has dropped below the safe threshold."

Xing's voice rang in Li Zhe's mind, breaking the deathly silence.

"very good."

Li Zhe nodded, preparing to lead the two ship spirits to evacuate.

however……

Just as he was about to turn around...

An extremely faint yet incredibly stubborn energy fluctuation, filled with an ominous and eerie aura.

It flashed past in a flash from the heart of that destroyed area!

The fluctuations were extremely subtle.

Like a speck of dust thrown into a deep pool, the ripples it creates are fleeting.

If Li Zhe hadn't undergone a mental transformation in the illusion of the "Killing Stone," his perception of energy wouldn't have become so acute.

They would probably just ignore it.

"Ok?"

Li Zhe's steps suddenly stopped.

A sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Hoshi, Kazuko, can you feel it?"

"Reporting to the commander, the detection system has not detected any abnormal energy residue." Xing's translucent energy body emerged, data streams flashing in his golden eyes as he repeatedly checked and confirmed.

"It's possible that the aftershocks of the devastating impact caused spatial disturbances, interfering with your perception."

Kazuko shook her head, her obsidian-like eyes filled with confusion.

“Commander, I…was completely unaware.”

Although she possessed a mysterious intuition originating from ancient times, she only felt a pure "emptiness" in that completely purified dead zone.

"No, that's not right."

Li Zhe said in a deep voice.

He trusts his instincts.

That fleeting fluctuation, though faint, revealed a chilling evil and tenacity in its essence.

Like a venomous viper lurking at the deepest part of the abyss, it has survived the flames of destruction by sheer luck and is now quietly lying dormant, waiting for the opportunity to revive.

"Star, concentrate all your detection power and focus on the core of destruction."

Li Zhe's voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable determination.

"Kazuko, use your senses carefully and don't miss any abnormalities."

"Yes!"

"As ordered!"

The two ship spirits dared not be negligent and immediately raised their senses to the limit.

time flies.

As the aftershocks of destruction subsided, the enormous mushroom cloud slowly dissipated.

Tokyo, once a megacity, has been completely wiped off the face of the earth.

All that remains is a terrifying giant crater, over fifty kilometers in diameter, bottomless, with glass-like crystals remaining on its edges.

The magma at the core of the pit was churning, emitting deadly high temperatures and radiation.

Everything seemed to have settled down.

"Commander, after repeated checks, we still haven't found anything unusual."

Xing's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

"Could it be... just an illusion?"

As Li Zhe gazed at that hellish scene, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind.

However, just as he was about to give up and lead the ship spirits to retreat.

From the heart of that churning lava, a barely audible sound, like the beating of a heart, quietly rang out.

"Boom..."

The sound was so faint it seemed to come from another dimension, yet it reached Li Zhe's ears clearly.

"that's it!"

Li Zhe's eyes instantly sharpened like knives!

He activated the Ultimate Demon God form without hesitation.

The five-meter-tall ultimate mecha exuded a suffocating pressure under the dim light.

"Hoshi, Kazuko, keep up!"

His wings flapped suddenly, transforming him into a streak of light as he hurtled straight toward the sea of ​​lava filled with deadly radiation!
"Commander! Danger!"

Hoshi and Kazuko exclaimed in surprise, but immediately followed closely behind.

The intense heat, enough to melt gold and iron, was utterly ineffective against the Ultimate Demon God's indestructible armor.

Li Zhe landed directly on the churning lava.

Looking down.

Deep within the magma, a heart, about the size of a human head, jet black with dark red pulsating patterns on its surface, was beating tenaciously.

Each pulse emanates a faint yet incredibly pure abyssal energy.

It was this energy that allowed it to miraculously survive in the heart of destruction.

Furthermore, it is frantically absorbing the surrounding radiation and heat energy at an incredible speed, carrying out self-repair and... evolution!
【The Heart of Impure World Amaterasu】

[Quality: Myth]

[Status: Dormant, absorbing energy to hatch]

[Note: At the end of destruction lies new life. It is the ultimate mark left by the abyss in this world, and also... an unprecedented 'opportunity'.]

"Mythical level?!"

Li Zhe stared at the glaring red lettering on the panel, a chill running through him.

This was the first time he had ever encountered an existence that surpassed the "legendary" level.

Unexpectedly, the so-called "Edo Tensei Amaterasu" was able to leave behind such an incredible "core" after its ultimate destruction.

If left to hatch, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Commander, it must be destroyed immediately."

Xing's voice was more solemn than ever before.

"Once it has hatched, its potential is immeasurable, and it may even grow into a threat to the entire planet."

Kazuko also drew her "Kikuichimonji," her obsidian eyes filled with resolute killing intent.

"Commander, please give the order! Kazuko is willing to vanquish this last evil for you!"

However, Li Zhe shook his head.

His gaze fell on that beating heart.

"Star, you just said that once this thing grows up, it will be enough to threaten the entire planet?"

"good."

"So, this material has the potential to be used in planetary-level mechs?"

"..."

Xing's data stream flickered wildly, and after a moment replied: "The theory is valid, but the 'cooking' techniques required to transform it into usable materials are extremely advanced."

"Knowing that it can be 'cooked' is enough." Li Zhe's tone was calm, with an undeniable air of authority. "Such top-quality 'ingredients' would be a terrible waste to destroy them."
