Chapter 2271: The Anti-Jiangnan Mechanical Legion
Hundreds upon thousands of specially modified sail-type starships sailed to the boundary of Mining District No. 666!
The hulls bore the insignia of the Decree Troops, as well as the Star Mine Bureau emblem!
Some starships even flew the flag of the Silicon-Based Race's Mechanical Legion!
The spectacle was immense, with even specialized mechanical eyes for recording capture operations accompanying the filming!
Before any action was taken, over a thousand modified starships of the Mechanical Legion had already spread out in a strategic formation!
Arriving at specific spatial nodes, the sail-like mechanical structures on the starships unfurled, transforming wildly!
They morphed into hexagonal base towers glowing with a glazed hue, the Reality-Suppression Towers!
At Iron Soldier's command, all 1,800-plus Reality-Suppression Towers powered on!
The glazed radiance bloomed instantly, connecting into a void net!
The three-dimensional space immediately became as solid as steel, suppressing the void!
From a distance, one could see the entire No. 666 Mining District forming a void bubble shimmering with glazed light!
Simultaneously, all Reality-Suppression Towers activated the Sky-Repulsion Force Field, Energy Barrier, Optical Signal Blocker, and Blackout Shield!
A Dark Cosmos Entity squad under the Decree Troops joined forces, opening a Dark Matter Shield for the towers!
Even Bose Bodies directly opened Dimensional Gates to protect the deployed towers!
All to prevent any possibility of the towers being destroyed!
On the deck of a Star Mine Bureau warship!
One of the Star Mine Bureau's chief directors, the Celestial Commander Atiya, had dazzling golden wings emitting a soft holy light!
Ten halos above her head were exceptionally conspicuous!
She tilted her head and said:
꒰ঌ(￢～￢)໒꒱ "Can this really seal off the void and prevent Jiangnan from escaping into the Dimensional Gap?"
Iron Soldier did not speak, but beside him, Dante, who stood atop a Creation Beast, chuckled softly!
(☫͡°↼͡°) "No need to doubt. The three-dimensional space suppressed by the Reality-Suppression Towers is not so easily broken. The Silicon-Based Race has done considerable research in this area."
"Jiangnan is also quite arrogant. After his identity was exposed, he didn't choose to hide back in the Dimensional Gap. Instead, he waited here nonchalantly?"
"It seems he's quite confident in himself, huh? Being underestimated? Tsk~"
Dante's eyes were filled with murderous intent. In his arms, he held the beautiful Venus, the illegitimate daughter of Creation Realm Master Nether!
Venus nestled in Dante's arms, giggling softly!
(☫❛ั̫❛ั) "Don't be angry, dear. He won't be so cocky for long. The scene of catching a turtle in a jar will soon unfold!"
Beneath Dante's feet, the Creation Beast had returned to its normal size, its physique no less than that of an average star!
Massive quantities of Bose Particles surged within it, and the triangular horn on its head shimmered with ten-colored light!
Clearly, this Creation Beast was an indisputable adult!
On the Creation Beast's back stood numerous Creation Realm warriors, all of the double-horned upper clan!
And on Iron Soldier's side, he had even brought the Mechanical Empire warships used for civilization warfare!
These starships were pure instruments of war, not for sale. Even Cosmos-level starships seemed child's play compared to the Mechanical Empire warships!
Iron Soldier's already robust mechanical body was now fitted with all sorts of dazzling weapons!
He spoke:
[┐⊡益⊡┌] "This capture operation, based on all intelligence gathered by the Silicon-Based Race, has formulated extremely detailed capture measures and a series of anti-Jiangnan plans."
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jiangnan has nowhere to escape!"
"When the battle begins, I will have all Silicon-Based warriors cut off signal transmission with the Terminal Database and go entirely offline, including myself."
"While activating the virus firewall, we will self-destruct logic programs to prevent any possibility of virus intrusion!"
"Mechanical Prosthetics will execute pre-set mechanical programs. The only target is to capture or kill Jiangnan!"
"If any aberrant behavior occurs, harming the innocent, I ask for your understanding in advance!"
Atiya sneered:
꒰ঌ(•́↼•̀)໒꒱ "Iron Soldier! Are you really going that far? Don't you think the Silicon-Based Race is overreacting?"
"Do you mean to say that your Mechanical Legion has come without any intention of being recovered?"
Iron Soldier turned to look at Atiya, his mechanical eyes glowing blood red!
[┐☼_☼┌] "Overreacting? I don't think so. Are you implying that the highest wisdom decision of my Silicon-Based Race is making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Atiya's expression stiffened:
꒰ঌ(꒪ㅂ꒪‧̣̥̇)໒꒱ "N-no, that's not what I meant. I was just saying that. Don't misunderstand!"
Iron Soldier ignored her. The battle mask on his face lowered, and he drew the black giant staff from his back, gripping it in his hand!
"Boom!"
Sparks flew from the back of his head as Iron Soldier's logic program burned up!
An extremely cold mechanical voice came through!
"Anti-Jiangnan mode activated! Mission execution begins! Target locked! Awaiting orders!"
At the same time, the Mechanical Empire warship's hatch opened!
Ten thousand identical mechanical prosthetics to Iron Soldier marched out!
On their chests, instead of the character "A," they bore the mark "Jiang × Nan"!
A large red cross was painted over Jiangnan's name!
Clearly, these mechanical legions were specially modified mechanical prosthetics for capturing Jiangnan!
The Silicon-Based Race had developed an "anti-someone" mode specifically because of one person!
In that regard, Jiangnan was truly one of a kind!
These mechanical prosthetics had all logic programs offline, running purely on mechanical programs to effectively prevent virus intrusion!
In other words, they were pre-set, the purest killing machines!
Dante twisted his neck: "The Silicon-Based Race sure is willing to go all out, huh?"
"But I'm afraid this capture operation will be over before you need to act. Jiangnan will pay for his arrogance!"
"You go, or I—"
Before Dante could finish, a mechanical voice came from the prosthetics!
"Mechanical Era Cannon overload preparation! Target locked: Haitang Star!"
A massive roar came from the bow of the Mechanical Empire warship as it twisted wildly!
It wasn't that a cannon barrel extended from somewhere; the entire bow of the Mechanical Empire warship became the cannon muzzle!
This was a walking giant star cannon!
Inside the muzzle, the impeller spun wildly, the light within growing increasingly crimson!
Dante shrugged: (☫‾᷄↼‾᷅) "Fine, fine! Go ahead then!"
Clearly, to some extent, Iron Soldier was no longer present. What remained here were merely killing machines!
"Mechanical Era Cannon! Fire!"
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar, and the blazing red energy poured out like a river of scarlet blood!
This was the energy gathered from nearly a hundred stellar power furnaces, compressed beyond capacity, and then fired!
A true weapon of war, a forbidden weapon!
Not only could it blast a star to bits, but it could even destroy an entire large stellar system!
The entire No. 666 Mining District was dyed red by the Mechanical Era Cannon. The energy wind blowing from the muzzle even pushed nearby warships off course!
Along the way, it crushed asteroids to dust and vaporized the meteor belt!
Even a star was grazed and dry-exploded, unleashing an exceptionally brilliant supernova!
The pitiful Haitang Star, facing such bombardment, was as helpless as a lonely boat in a giant wave!
Just then, a spatial fluctuation appeared before Haitang Star!
Jiangnan brought all members of the Bully Gang, along with Boss Pang and the others, into the starry sky!
The Bully Gang's underlings all carried backpack-like gear, their bald heads glowing with brilliant light!
Each held an empty liquor bottle, their eyes blood red. Every single one was a villain!
Clearly, they were all equipped with Dali 2.0 + Horse Biscuits + Green Sticks!
The backpacks were fully stocked. Some shameless ones even took a shower before the battle!
Of course, they used the suspicious soap. As for external possessions, they had no need for them!
As for Jiangnan, he didn't use anything—not even the Green Stick, because he still needed to spout nonsense, which would be inconvenient.
Seeing the red ocean pouring toward them, Omega's face turned pale!
Σ(っ°口°;)っ "Are we really going to fight? How are we supposed to fight this?"
Pang Badi looked back reluctantly at his Haitang Star, lamenting that he hadn't even gotten to live there long before it was about to be destroyed!
But Jiangnan sneered: "Quite a commotion you're making, leading with a nuke?"
"And you've even sealed off space? You're really afraid I'll run, huh?"
But Jiangnan had no intention of hiding in the Dimensional Gap. Compared to that, he had a better choice!
A criminal, after all, should do what criminals do!
(๑乛◡乛๑) "Hey hey hey! Who's going to receive that bombardment? Such a small scene doesn't require your boss to step in, right?"
Wang Youzhi smacked his lips:
(∗ಡωಡ) "Hehe, even if you wanted to receive it, you couldn't!"
Jiangnan's face darkened. Couldn't he at least pretend to be cool for a moment?
But Da Zhi was right; he really couldn't take that hit. However, running was still feasible!
However, Ta Luo got excited, licking his lips!
"Boss! I'll take it! Can't let them get away with this! Using a star cannon on the Desolate God Clan? They really must be tired of living!"
Ta Luo stepped forward, his tiny figure completely disproportionate to the red ocean pouring in!
"Desolate God Sacred Body• Manifest!"
The next moment, Ta Luo's body began to expand wildly!
In the blink of an eye, he became larger than a planet! The 30,000-kilometer-diameter Haitang Star could be held in Ta Luo's hand!
This was the true battle form of the Desolate God Clan!
At that moment, Ta Luo roared, opening six arms toward the red ocean!
"Sun Seal!"
"Boom!"
The Mechanical Era Cannon's blast slammed into Ta Luo's body with full force. All the energy was absorbed by his body, converging wildly!
Not a trace of energy passed beyond Ta Luo's giant-like frame!
The bombardment lasted a full thirty seconds. The Mechanical Empire warship was severely overloaded, its muzzle glowing red!
But all the energy blasted over was caught by Ta Luo. Now, his body radiated so brightly that he seemed more dazzling than a sun!
The Sun Seal on the forehead of Tower Luo—the middle one—shone brightly, his eyes wide open, emitting boundless divine light!
"Desolate God Heaven Opening• Sky Sun Slash!"
At that moment, Ta Luo raised his six arms high. All the absorbed energy coagulated into a colossal energy greatsword!
He swung it directly at the Sacred Law Council's fleet!
"Take this, you bastards!"
