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

Chapter 55 Operation Tokugawa at Cape Bougainville - Major Damage

"Command confirmed."

After a brief pause, Xing's voice took on an unprecedented chilling quality.

"Divine punishment! Sweep away the filth of the abyss!"

The moment the words were spoken, the pure white mecha standing on the yacht's deck moved.

"boom--!!!"

The platinum-gold sacred mechs soared into the sky from the deck of the yacht mothership.

Like a dazzling shooting star piercing through the gloomy battlefield.

With its unparalleled prowess, it instantly attracted the full attention of both sides in the conflict.

Whether it was the American pilots who were retreating in panic or the locusts that were ravaging the sky, they were all shocked by the sudden appearance of this sacred mech.

The US military's radar could not detect this flying object that had suddenly entered the battlefield.

Only through close-up observation with the naked eye can one truly appreciate its beauty.

"Jesus Christ! What the hell is that thing? IFF is negative! It's not one of ours!"

"Is it a new type of IJN secret weapon? A 'Baka' bomb on steroids?!"

The U.S. military's public communications channels were instantly filled with a sense of oppressive fear and chaotic speculation.

After a brief malfunction, the command system finally transmitted a relatively calm instruction.

"All units, hold your fire! I repeat, hold your fire! That thing is engaging the hostiles! Squadron leaders, record everything. I want every single detail of that machine on my desk right now!"
Those locust-men, on the other hand, seemed to have sensed the presence of a natural enemy deep within their genes.

They abandoned their pursuit of the US aircraft group and began to emit sharp, piercing screechs.

They changed direction and swarmed towards Li Zhe's mech.

"Very good, all of you come closer, so I don't have to kill you one by one!"

A murderous intent surged in Li Zhe's eyes.

"Star, analyze and confirm the enemy's air unit data."

"Data analysis in progress... Target name: Abyssal Locust. Individual combat strength assessment: 1.2 to 1.5. Special abilities: high-speed flight, bone blade melee, acid spit. Weakness: biological structure, energy core located in the chest cavity. Quantity: approximately 1800. Threat level: high. It is recommended to eliminate them first to clear obstacles for subsequent operations."

"Clear the air, execute!"

The wings on the back of the mecha shone brightly, and its speed instantly reached its maximum.

Li Zhe's figure left behind streaks of white-gold afterimages in the air, almost invisible to the naked eye.

Its flight speed and maneuverability far exceed those of any locust.

With arms outstretched, two high-frequency battle blades, gleaming with divine light, traced a deathly waltz in the air.

This wasn't a chaotic battle, but a highly efficient "pest control operation"!
Each time he dodged, several locust-men were cleanly and decisively cut into pieces.

Thick, purplish-black blood and shattered carapaces splattered through the air.

Yet it couldn't even smudge the pure white paint of the mecha.

The core of the mech's chest continuously emits precise and deadly energy beams.

Each beam of light efficiently wiped out swarms of locusts from the sky.

Faced with Li Zhe's attack, which could be described as "divine punishment".

The numerical advantage of the locust people became meaningless.

Their attacks, whether sharp bone blades or corrosive acid.

Even the energy shield overflowing from Li Zhe's mecha couldn't break through it.

Li Zhe's counterattacks, combined with Xing's precise calculations, were both accurate and deadly.

Leave no room for maneuver.

Such high-intensity, full-power combat consumes a large amount of energy.

But Li Zhe's energy reserves were sufficient, and even in this state, annihilating the enemy for a day and a night would not be a problem! The US pilots stared in disbelief at the one-sided crushing defeat in the air.

"My God, it's dancing a waltz of death."
"That's not a weapon, that's an angel of retribution!"
After clearing away most of the aerial threats, Li Zhe did not stop for a moment.

With unparalleled power, it landed directly on the broad deck of the Yamato.

"boom--!"

Slamming a single fist into the ground!

With a deafening roar, he blasted a huge dent into the sturdy deck, and the surrounding purple biological tissue emitted a sharp hiss.

"Star, provide a comprehensive analysis of this warship."

Li Zhe's voice was frighteningly calm.

He perfectly suppressed the anger stemming from hatred for his family and country deep in his heart.

Transformed into a pure and calm fighting spirit.

"Analysis complete. Target named: Abyss-modified battleship 'Yamato'. Overall combat strength assessment: 7.5."

"The ship's hull-altered armor is equivalent to 4.0, and has extremely strong self-repair capabilities."

"The anti-aircraft turrets are heavily armed, and the threat level is medium."

"The three 460mm main gun turrets have been completely modified by abyssal energy, with a peak destructive power of 9.5. Threat level: lethal!"

"Its power core is located below the waterline in the center of the hull, and is covered by layers of armor and biological tissue, which is its only weakness!"

Li Zhe took a deep breath: "Xing, plan the optimal tactical path."

"Ensure that every strike achieves a double crushing advantage in combat power, leaving the opponent no room for counterattack!"

"Commander, the optimal tactical path has been planned. It is recommended to prioritize destroying its anti-aircraft and main gun systems to remove its layered armor, expose its core weaknesses, and then deliver a fatal blow."

At that very moment, a large number of Locust Army ground troops swarmed in from all directions.

"Before we unarmor this ship, let's clear out the deck first!" Li Zhe switched to combat mode.

Agile attack type, chainsaw!

"Shh-!"

The high-frequency battle blades on both arms retracted instantly.

Instead, two high-speed spinning, white-gold chainsaws gleamed with a chilling light.

Li Zhe transformed into a deadly killing whirlwind.

On the deck, a deathly path of flesh and carapace was ploughed out.

With its combat power amplified, it now doubles the strength of the ship's modified armor.

Wherever the chainsaw passed, it pierced the biological carapace of the locusts and the twisted steel structure of the Yamato.

They were all easily crushed!

After tossing and turning the deck, Li Zhe set his sights on the anti-aircraft turrets that resembled tumors.

"Get rid of these disgusting things first!"

Li Zhe charged forward with almost savage violence.

They ignored the dense barrage of bullets that were enough to tear through armor.

He grabbed the still-spinning cannon barrel with his bare hands and twisted it sharply!
"Crench--!"

With a chilling metallic twisting sound, he ripped the entire turret off its base, tearing out fleshy fascia covered with eyeballs, and threw it all into the sea.

One, two, three... they removed those fortifications one by one with an unstoppable force!

The US carrier-based aircraft circling overhead were completely dumbfounded...

"Holy Mother of God, is he tearing the battleship apart with his bare hands?!"
