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

Chapter 181 Strikes hard
According to the exercise rules, only the team that destroys the island's core hub first can achieve final victory.

Meanwhile, the "Ghost Force," which is far ahead on the leaderboard, is still nowhere to be seen.

It was as if they had absolutely no interest in this final victory.

"What do they want to do?"

Qin Cang hovered around the outer edge of BOSS Island, piloting his "Tian Gang" mecha, his brows furrowed.

He simply couldn't understand why that mysterious unit, after going to such great lengths and accumulating so many points, would choose to "go AFK" at the very moment of the final battle.

Could it be... that they have other plans?
Just as his thoughts were wandering.

"boom--!"

A deafening roar came from the center of BOSS Island.

A terrifying surge of energy erupted suddenly!
The entire island was enveloped in a blinding red light.

"Warning! Warning! Extremely high energy reaction detected! The core nexus of the central island... has been prematurely activated!"

Inside the command center, piercing alarms blared through the sky.

Zhu Xingtuan suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

"What's going on?! The exercise is still ongoing! Who did this?!"

The technician's fingers flew across the keyboard, his face ashen.

"Report to the Chief Instructor! The highest level of access to the core hub... has been... breached by an unknown ID! We... we have lost control of the entire training ground!"

"what?!"

Zhu Xingtuan's brain buzzed.

He never imagined that such a meticulously designed exercise would spiral out of control in this way.

Meanwhile, above BOSS Island.

A colossal "final boss," composed entirely of abyssal energy and brimming with an aura of ominous destruction, is slowly taking shape...

Its size exceeds 100 meters, resembling a moving mountain.

Its entire body was covered in twisted metal and rotting flesh, emitting a nauseating stench.

Countless scarlet eyes opened on its body, coldly looking down at the mechs below, which looked like ants.

A terrifying pressure, enough to make even the soul tremble, instantly enveloped the entire battlefield!
[The final boss of the exercise, the Abyss Aggregator, has been activated.]

[Combat Strength Assessment: ???]

[WARNING! This unit has exceeded the safety threshold for the current exercise! All participating units, evacuate immediately! Repeat, evacuate immediately!]

The cold, impersonal system notification sounded in the cockpit of every trainee.

However, it's too late.

"Roar--!!!!!"

The abyssal aggregate let out a deafening roar, the sound waves even causing visible ripples in space.

Its massive, mountain-like arm swung down with earth-shattering force, smashing fiercely towards the nearest "Tian Gang" squad!
"Quickly open!"

Qin Cang's pupils suddenly contracted, and he let out a roar.

But it was all too late.

Faced with that fatal blow, which was as devastating as the sky and earth and carried an unparalleled force, Qin Cang's mind went blank.

He couldn't even muster the thought of making an evasive maneuver; he could only watch helplessly as the colossal arm, obscuring the sky, grew larger and larger in his field of vision.

The shadow of death enveloped him completely at that moment.

it's over...

This time, I'm really going to die here...

Just as he was utterly despondent and preparing to face his inevitable end—

"Boom—!!!!!" A white-gold streak of light, brighter than the sun, descended suddenly like a divine sword cleaving through the eternal night, at a speed that transcended time and space!
The streak of light struck the giant arm that was about to fall with pinpoint accuracy and ruthlessness!
"Clang—!!!!!"

A resounding clang of metal echoed through the heavens and earth!

A terrifying energy shockwave, like a Category 12 hurricane, instantly swept across the entire battlefield!

The sea was whipped up by towering waves, and the surrounding simulated islands crumbled inch by inch under the impact!
Qin Cang's "Tian Gang" mecha was like a small boat in a storm, thrown away by this enormous force, tumbling dozens of times in the air before barely managing to stabilize itself.

When he looked up again, still shaken, the sight before him left him speechless.

The "Platinum Star," exuding an aura of holiness and majesty, had appeared before the Abyss Aggregate at some unknown time.

It stands with a seemingly frail yet rock-solid stance, one hand...

With just one hand, he managed to hold back that giant arm that was powerful enough to smash a mountain!

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

All the trainees and instructors who witnessed this scene were frozen in place, speechless and their minds blank.

"Then...what is that?!"

"He...he actually...blocked it?!"

"Are you kidding me?! That's the final boss! What exactly is the structure of his mech?!"

Incredulous exclamations echoed across the communication channels of each squad.

Inside the command center, Zhu Xingtuan clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

He stared at the mecha on the screen, which looked like a god and radiated endless glory, his eyes filled with unprecedented shock and ecstasy.

"This kid... he really is..."

……

Inside Li Zhe's cockpit, the alarm was also blaring incessantly.

[WARNING! The structural load has reached 98.7%! Energy shield overload! Take immediate evasive action!]

Zero's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

Li Zhe did not respond.

He could clearly feel the terrifying pressure emanating from his arm, a pressure powerful enough to crush steel into powder.

But instead of fear, his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

"That's true."

He slowly raised his head, his golden electronic eyes coldly staring at the enormous creature before him.

"Come on, everyone, let's... have some fun."

He roared and unleashed the power of his ultimate demon god form without reservation!
"Get up for me!!!"

"boom--!!!!!"

An immense power, indescribable in words, erupted from the body of "Platinum Star"!

In that instant, the five-meter-tall mecha seemed to transform into a true god!

He actually managed to lift the Abyss Convergence's massive, mountain-like arm upwards, bit by bit!

"roar--?!!"

The countless scarlet eyes of the Abyss Aggregate seemed to reveal an incredulous shock.

This tiny creature before me, as insignificant as an ant...

How could such terrifying power erupt from within his body!
