The Last Sentinel

"Wow! Boss, you're a genius! No, you're a genius among geniuses!"

"Those so-called S-class geniuses are on the same level as you? That's a huge insult to you!"

"In your presence, they are like a paramecium in front of an S-class genius—childish, laughable, weak, and foolish!"

"Your [Divine Possession] is simply a stroke of genius among strokes of genius. The structure of the spiritual energy circuit, the reshaping of the modules, and even the subsequent extensibility of this ultimate move are all incredibly imaginative. I can even see myself following you, living a life of luxury, taking on followers and becoming the God of All Machines!"

Inside the cockpit, the machine spirit, Fat Rabbit, made no attempt to hide its praise for Ye Feng, immediately switching into sycophantic mode.

Perhaps, in the eyes of the Immortal God of Magic and the Lord of Machines, [Divine Possession] is utter garbage, but in the primordial universe of their homeland, where resources are locked up, it is undoubtedly the optimal solution.

Just then, a phone call appeared in front of Ye Feng.

Ring ring—The [Divine Capital] base is initiating a conversation with you.

Ye Feng said, "Connect!"

The screen showed Kuafu, the commander of Luoyang, and Gouchen, the special envoy from headquarters.

Kuafu chuckled and said, "Little Ye, how was it?"

Ye Feng said, "Excellent! What are your orders, sir?"

Gou Chen coughed and asked, "Xiao Ye, have you seen the news on the forum?"

Ye Feng said, "I glanced at it, and it seems quite messy."

Gou Chen nodded. "Yes, the situation is very chaotic right now. Those idiots in Japan have betrayed both Atlantis and the Nantianmen plan. Now, the higher-ups on both sides are in a dilemma. Atlantis is being interrogated by its own subordinates about why they asked Nantianmen for help, while Nantianmen headquarters is being questioned by its subordinates about supporting their enemy. However, the support order has already been issued from headquarters. Given the current complicated situation, Kuafu and I discussed it and decided that the support should continue, but you should not show your face."

Ye Feng blinked. "Lord Gou Chen, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Kuafu spoke up, "You've already gone, but don't appear in Fusang. Instead, go to a coordinate on the seabed—the coordinates of a monster portal to a crustal fissure recently discovered by headquarters. Survey the strength and radiation intensity of this fissure, then find a place to take a comfortable bath and massage, and then come back!"

Gou Chen said, "Yes, in short, you must not fight, and you are not allowed to appear in front of the world with your mech. Keep the impression that Nantianmen did go to provide support, but whether our support actually arrived is hard to say. In this way, it will be easier for headquarters to explain to the people below."

Ye Feng couldn't help but say, "My lords, please forgive my bluntness, but I still don't understand what those guys at headquarters are thinking. Do they really intend to be benevolent and tolerant towards Japan?"

Gou Chen said, "If anyone else asked me this question, I definitely wouldn't answer it, but you're a special case, so I might as well tell you the truth! Actually, your trip to Fusang to provide support was just an excuse. Headquarters actually wanted to analyze the latest monster portal's ground fissure coordinates and radiation levels, and wanted to expand this portal to release more monsters. In this way, based on experience, the more monsters there are in Fusang, the less pressure there will be on our polar base!"

Kuafu said, "In the eyes of headquarters, there is no such thing as friendliness and tolerance. What they have is a big picture. They are willing to sacrifice everything for the big picture, including Fusang itself! If the radiation intensity of the monster rift portal is strong enough this time, then Fusang will become a monster paradise. If it is normal, we will retreat. As for merging with S-class monsters, headquarters has never had such a thought. It's not our territory. No matter how many people die, it won't affect the population of Great Xia."

Ye Feng snapped his fingers. "Understood, I know what to do! Just watch!"

Kuafu instructed, "Stay a while longer, at least a month before returning. Make sure the act is complete!"

Gou Chen laughed heartily, "There are plenty of local specialties in Japan, like the sex industry and Taikoo Li. Young people should go and have fun, especially during this era of monster chaos. A psychic with supernatural abilities like you going to such places is practically a hero in troubled times!"

Ye Feng replied, "Understood, thank you both for the arrangements! A publicly funded trip, this is truly a rare treat! Hahaha!"

The chubby robot rabbit, swaying its mosaic-like body, kept saying, "The officers are sending the boss on a publicly funded trip! This is brilliant! Let's begin a wonderful journey: black-stockinged gantry cranes, and large integrated casting machines—all my type!"

Ye Feng interrupted, "Stop! I'll find you a beautiful woman after we finish this job!"

The chubby rabbit with the mechanical spirit said, "Huh? We still have work to do!"

Ye Feng said, "I just learned [Divine Possession], so I need to find an S-rank monster to practice on! Besides, we have a mission: to find the entrance to the tectonic rift monster. You fat rabbit, stop thinking about having an easy time all day!"

The machine-spirited fat rabbit complained, "I've fought hard for humanity for over twenty years, and finally gained my own consciousness. Is it wrong to enjoy it a little? And you, work is just like being a beast of burden, why take it so seriously? Just do your job and see it through..."

Ye Feng said, "We've already activated stealth mode! When the monster gets tired and goes back to the sea to rest, we'll ambush it!"

Mech Soul Fat Rabbit: "Damn it, boss, you're a real scoundrel! Schemes and ambushes! I really made the right choice following you. You're the kind of person who would rather ambush than fight head-on, and you'd rather poison than fight. You're simply a rising star of shamelessness in the mech pilot field. You possess the super skill [Divine Possession], and you can also combine shamelessness and ambush with your mind and body. A capable and shameless old bastard like you, no monster can beat us."

Ye Feng said, "I feel like you're insulting me! Stop talking nonsense, dive down! Ambush outside Tokyo Bay! Wait for the monster to come to us!"

Mecha-Spirit Fat Rabbit: "Yes, sir!"

Ding! The spaceship has switched to stealth mode and is diving to a depth of 300 meters.

Ye Feng drank his energy drink and looked at the screen. The sky in front of him grew darker and darker, and the sea became more turbulent and violent. They were getting closer and closer to Tokyo Bay in Japan.

It has to be said that the mechs are really fast; in less than thirty minutes, they arrived at Tokyo Bay from the Luoyang base.

With these powerful waves and torrential rain, wow, the old folks in Japan are really living the high life!

An hour passed quickly, and the headquarters command office of the Japanese Defense Agency was in complete chaos.

"What's going on! Almost two hours have passed! Why hasn't the [Crimson Destroyer] appeared yet?!"

"Baka! Didn't the East already dispatch the Crimson Destruction from Luoyang, the capital? Why hasn't it arrived yet?!"

"The S-class [Crimson Destroyer] is definitely much faster than a supersonic missile. It should have arrived in about twenty minutes, so why hasn't it arrived after two hours? Could it be that the [Divine Capital] has backed out?"

"No, that's impossible. Nantianmen is very concerned about their reputation. I know these people from the Great Xia of the East best. They would rather lose face than break their word. That's called keeping your word. They will definitely come!"

Boom!

A tremendous sound and vibration came not from the screen, but from outside the window.

Through the bulletproof glass window, one could see a terrifying black fin, as tall as a ten-story building, frantically cutting through the ground like a sharp plough. The vast, bustling city was ripped into terrifying fissures, some tens or even hundreds of meters long. The fissures crisscrossed, and the monster would occasionally peek out, causing explosions and roars, plunging the entire Tokyo Bay coastal area into a sea of ​​fire.

In the command room, all the command staff looked at their superior, that stubborn and serious old man.

The female secretary asked cautiously, "Sir, did our news release anger Dongfang? Is Dongfang deliberately slowing down the rescue efforts?"

The old officer's eyes flashed with a sharp edge, his gaze piercing. "If sacrificing a portion of our people could bankrupt the East's reputation, I think it's a very worthwhile deal! Abandon the areas outside the Fifth Ring Road, let the monsters run rampant! Everyone prepare to evacuate to the second reserve command post!"

The bespectacled staff officer murmured, "But, sir, there are still more than 800,000 innocent lives here."

The old commander said coldly, "The construction of all great undertakings requires the sacrifice of lives. It is their honor to sacrifice themselves for the rise of the empire!"

The bespectacled strategist said, "But... but that's too cruel. Perhaps we could deploy the [Samurai Maru]—ah!"

Bang!

A crisp gunshot rang out.

The bodyguards behind the old officer drew their guns and shot the bespectacled staff officer dead, thus silencing any dissent.

The old officer gave his security personnel an appreciative look, then spread his hands and said, "No problems, right? Leave here and head to the second reserve command post!"

"yes!"

"Get out of here immediately!"

Many command staff members packed their bags and left in a hurry.
