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

Chapter 197 The Arrival of the Colossus

"Everyone, don't be nervous."

Li Zhe's voice, like a magic spell, soothed everyone's emotions.

"Introduce yourself."

"I am the chief examiner for this joint exercise."

"And these two are my teaching assistants."

As he spoke, he slowly rose from the shoulder of the white goddess statue.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of shocked and incredulous eyes, he opened his arms as if embracing the whole world.

“Now, I announce…”

"A real drill..."

"Officially begin!"

……

"He's gone mad...this guy has completely gone mad!"

Inside the joint command center, Zhu Xingtuan looked at the Ultimate Titan on the screen, which radiated endless brilliance like a god, and Li Zhe standing on its shoulder as if giving a grand speech. He felt that his worldview had been completely crushed at this moment.

He couldn't understand how an ordinary freshman could grow to a terrifying level that he couldn't even look up to in just a few months.

Those two colossal mechs far surpassed any mechs he knew, both in terms of energy response and structural strength.

That goes beyond simply being described as "powerful".

That's a kind of...

It originates from a higher dimension, an absolute "crushing"!
"Chief...Chief Instructor..." The adjutant beside him trembled with fear, "What...what should we do now?"

"How to do?"

Zhu Xingtuan shook his head with a wry smile.

He looked at the two colossi on the screen, which were slowly moving toward the BOSS Island in the center of the training field, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was shock, there was confusion, but more than anything, there was a sense of relief...

Glad.

"What else can be done?"

He picked up his thermos, took a sip of piping hot goji berry tea, and said in an unprecedentedly calm tone:
"Of course..."

"Sound the alarm! Organize all trainees and prepare to watch the battle!"

"Watch...watch the battle?"

“That’s right.” Zhu Xingtuan nodded, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light. “Such a textbook-level ‘teaching demonstration’ that can be described as a ‘battle of the gods’ is not something you can see every day.”

He paused, a playful smile curving his lips.

"Notify the technical department to turn on all the observation equipment and set the power to maximum! I want to record every single detail of this 'exercise' clearly!"

"Yes!"

……

The training ground was already deathly silent.

All the students who were originally ready to show off their skills were now frozen in place, staring blankly at the two enormous figures slowly approaching in the sky.

Their minds were blank.

Even the thought of escaping couldn't arise.

Before those two colossal warriors, who were like gods, their prized mechs were as fragile as children's toys.

Any resistance seems so pale and ridiculous.

"Is...is that really...Li Zhe?"

Xu Lei's incredulous exclamation echoed in the cockpit.

Ize had already lost his voice.

He simply stared intently at the white goddess statue, his eyes filled with an unprecedented, almost fanatical, worship. Qin Cang, the captain of the "Tian Gang" squad, shook his head with a wry smile.

He now finally understood just how vast the gap was between himself and that man.

That's something that can't be compensated for by skill or talent alone.

That's a kind of...

An absolute crushing defeat originating from the level of life itself!

Just then, Li Zhe's calm yet slightly mocking voice rang out again on everyone's communication channel.

"Everyone, stop spacing out."

"The game has begun."

The moment the words fell, the two ultimate colossus warriors moved simultaneously.

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, nor any devastating artillery roar.

The white goddess statue, exuding an aura of holiness and majesty, simply raised the enormous scepter in her hand, a scepter made of pure energy.

"Om-"

A gentle yet irresistibly majestic golden aura swept across the entire training ground, centered on her.

All the mechs shrouded in the aura, whether they were ace units from any academy or ordinary student units, lost all power in that instant.

[Warning! The machine's energy conduction system has been forcibly locked by an unknown law-based force! All weaponry is offline!]

[Warning! A serious error has occurred in the driving system! Forced reboot in progress... Reboot failed!]

The cold, impersonal system notifications echoed in the cockpits of every trainee, like a death sentence.

They were horrified to discover that their prized mechs had been reduced to a pile of immobile scrap metal.

They could only watch helplessly as the two colossal, god-like warriors slowly flew over their heads...

"This...what kind of power is this?!"

"A rule-based attack?! Are you kidding me?! How could something like that possibly exist in an exercise?!"

"Who...who is he?!"

Inside the command center, all the instructors and commanders jumped up from their seats, their faces filled with disbelief and horror.

They never imagined that the other side would possess such a terrifying "domain" level ability, capable of instantly paralyzing hundreds of mechs!

This can't be described simply as "powerful," it's simply...

"god"!
As Zhu Xingtuan stared at the area on the screen enveloped in a golden halo, the thermos in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter."

For the first time, his perpetually icy face revealed a look of utter horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

At this moment, Li Zhe had already left these "disarmed" trainees behind.

He piloted the Platinum Star in its ultimate ship form, flying alongside Kazuko's Yamato towards the center of the training field, towards the BOSS island shrouded in dense abyssal energy.

"Commander, all the 'small fry' have been cleared out."

Xing's voice echoed in Li Zhe's mind, still as calm and efficient as ever.

"very good."

Li Zhe nodded and turned his gaze to the island that exuded an ominous aura.

"Kazuko, are you ready?"

"Anytime, Commander!" Kazuko's voice was filled with excitement and fighting spirit. "Let those guys see what real 'giant ship cannons' are like!"

"Then... let's begin."

A cold smile curled at the corners of Li Zhe's lips.

"Main guns, fire salvo!"

"boom--!!!!!!!!!"

Accompanied by Kazuko's chuunibyou-esque shout, the crimson Ultimate Titan's three 460mm main gun turrets on its shoulders, exuding violent aesthetics, opened fire simultaneously amidst a deafening roar!
