Chapter 944: Falling Short

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as some heaved a sigh of relief, a fire red mech emerged, trailing flames.

Facaul cast his gaze about furiously. Heaven had been his protégé. He could die, but he could not stand such a traitorous soul. To die for someone, even though he was an assassin!

This was a disgrace to their profession!

This bunch of bastards in front of him were responsible. This did not just reflect badly on Heaven, but also on him. If word got out, he would become a laughing stock.

Kill them all!

The Phantom King’s explosive power was very strong, but the problem was that Facaul was no ordinary human. Any super soldier had the ability to preserve their own life. As a specialist in the fire affinity, Facaul’s powers of control were much stronger than Hocatolin’s. And the Fire Wave shield had blocked a considerable portion of the explosive power.

Everyone was aghast. The mecha on the ground immediately took aim at Fire Falcon, and the giants had raised their own spears as well. They wished they could stick one through him.

Looking at this bunch of wretched ants, Facaul’s killing lust rose. Just as he was about to make his move, a red alarm rang out. D*mn, that blast had damaged his mech. Facaul dared not tarry.

Wheeling his mech, he flew away. Let them live a while longer. Their lives hung on a thread anyway.

All they had fired were blanks.

Looking at the retreating figure, Mu Sen’s expression did not relax at all. At his age and wisdom, he would not grieve at deaths. He did not have the time either. What he needed to do was think of how to deal with the situation. When this guy rolled up again, without Heaven, what would they have to fend him off?

Tita Star’s fighting power was decent, but they lacked the highest tier of fighters.

The only one who could stop him was Rara Durai now. But if Rara Durai died, then Tita was finished.

The Titans were unafraid of ground battles. But against these mecha with superb flying capabilities, they were helpless.

And OMG’s flaws were exposed now. Their technology was insufficient. It was not that they could not produce it, but in terms of capabilities, it simply could not reach the strong defensive benchmark.

On Wang Zheng’s side, it was a close fight. Although the mecha were different types, their capabilities were almost the same. The Blue Demon’s ice ability matched Wang Zheng’s as well. Wang Zheng’s understanding of Frost was already fairly strong. Complemented with his physical abilities, the battle looked fifty-fifty.

And Hannibal was shocked. He had no idea where this guy had emerged from, to be able to fight evenly with him. It was like seeing a ghost.

The two of them fought from the skies to the earth. Some of the fearless giants had actually thronged around. Hannibal was fighting enthusiastically as well. The mech he was facing was interesting. The feeling he was getting was that it was a student of Elite Academy X, but this level of ability definitely belonged to one of the greats. Just as Hannibal was prepared to go all out with Wang Zheng, he heard Fire Falcon’s call.

He was hurt?

The titanium blade slapped Wang Zheng aside. With a smooth blast off, he drew the distance apart, and flew off into the distance.

Wang Zheng dodged the attack, and had no way to pursue the retreating figure. Heaven was dead...

Riding the Conqueror back to the presidential palace, the great hall was in a somber mood. The Tita fighters were less affected, but the human fighters were depressed. When compared to Heaven, they were now even more aware of the power of the enemy they faced.

That was the top human soldier. Fighting with them was suicidal. Normal bullets dealt limited damage to super soldiers. Cleaving them? Only if they let you.

This was the doubly crushing combination of ability and technology.

When they saw Wang Zheng, their eyes gained a bit of life. Wang Zheng’s runic mech was their only hope to resist the enemy. But that was just resistance.

There was no advantage. And who knew if there were more super soldiers. The possibility was there. If these countries could find these two, then they definitely could find more.

The test of strength was just the first round, and Tita Star was already barely holding on.

Heaven’s corpse had disappeared, smokily dissipating with the Phantom King. This former enemy had actually given his life to protect Tita Star. Perhaps Heaven was not at all concerned with Tita Star, and was not that noble. He had fought for the sake of his kin, his wife, and his soon-to-be-born child.

But his sacrifice had bought them but a little time. What now?

“Perhaps we should change tack.” Mu Sen sighed. “We Tita people will not be conquered, even if we are eradicated. But there is no need for you to suffer the same. Perhaps you could live on for the planet.”

After all, they were also humans. Mu Sen felt that there was no need for more people to go down with the ship. The Tita people would never let such a thing happen. Perhaps in the near future, the Tita people would vanish in the long river of history, but they would leave a mark of bravery, no matter how tragic.

“Elder Mu Sen, we will die with you!” Lan Ling said resolutely. Humans were even crueler to their own kind. Perhaps she had some way out, but if she took it, life would be meaningless.

Yan Xiaosu was frustrated. He had never thought things would turn out this way. Things had been proceeding smoothly. They were on the way to conquering the galaxy, but suddenly things had become this way.

Yan Xiaosu was no fighter. He did not know what to do besides look to Wang Zheng. Tyrant Su’s greatest belief was in Wang Zheng’s fighting power. In his eyes, there was virtually nothing that Wang Zheng could not do. But this time around, Wang Zheng had not taken down that super soldier.

Lan Ling and Mu Sen could not read Wang Zheng’s expression.

“Did Heaven leave any message?” Wang Zheng asked.

Lan Ling gritted her teeth, her eyes red. At this moment, she felt all of her feminine fragility. “He asked me to look after his wife and child.”

Wang Zheng nodded. “Elder Mu Sen, in the near future, Tita might become even more chaotic. Please get all the citizens and normal Tita people to hide as best as they can, until the war is over. Especially the Tita people’s curiosity – bravery is a good thing, but sometimes needless courage can bring about needless sacrifices. I don’t want to win the battle but come back only to the dead.”

Mu Sen nodded. “I’ll get Rara Durai to give the Titan’s order. Will we fight the final battle?”

Wang Zheng shook his head. “The decision to fight a final battle does not lie with us. Once there is news of the super soldiers, inform me immediately. I’m going to rest.”

Having said that, Wang Zheng left, and Yan Xiaosu and the rest stood gazing blankly at Wang Zheng.

“Xiaosu, what is Wang Zheng planning?”

Amongst them, Yan Xiaosu understood Wang Zheng best. But in this moment, Yan Xiaosu had no clue.

Returning to his room, Wang Zheng leaned on the door. He had just been laughing and chatting with Heaven yesterday, seeing his smile and hearing his thankfulness. And today, not even his corpse remained.

He was clear that, in that moment, Heaven must have yearned to stay.

He did not have enough killing power.

This was a battle. He had to enter battle mode. Each battle was a matter of life and death.

In the room, Wang Zheng’s pupils were lined with red. There was no way back. No miracle. No external help. Just a fight to the death.

He would eke out petty survival, or be reborn in a sea of blood!
