"So the idea of directly siding with Anti-Entropy is indeed the safest approach."
To prepare for the worst, let the Herrscher of Reason study the structure of Exia. Who knows, if it gets damaged in the future, we can find someone to reconstruct and replace the parts. Zhao Si believes that Welt Yang cannot refuse a 18.4-meter robot.
Believe it, there is no need for a reason to believe.
[Does the host intend to cash out the reward directly?]
"No rush. Do you have the Exia pilot's manual (PDF)? I'll familiarize myself with it first."
Yes, dear.
After Zhao Si spent five minutes reading through the instruction manual, he made a decision:
"Alright! I don't understand most of it! Let's just go out there and exchange a few blows with the Honkai Beasts!"
[Heh heh, you don't understand but you're still so self-righteous, host, you're truly a genius.]
With a swift movement, Zhao Si rose from his cot, grabbed the helmet that had been removed from his head, put it on, and rushed out of the tent, simultaneously shouting to the system in his mind:
"System! Manifest the Seven Exias!"
Chapter Three: This is no ordinary organism; this is a meritorious organism, the organism of a celestial being.
"111, Chicken Head, how's the battle going on your end?"
"Everything is normal. The Titan Legion is assisting the two Schicksal A-rank Valkyries. They are just some scattered lower-rank Honkai Beasts. Unless an Emperor Honkai Beast or something higher appears, they will not pose a threat to us."
In front of the Tower of Babel, Einstein stood high on a cliff, holding a game controller to operate his small robot to assist in the battle.
Larger Honkai Beasts are slow-moving, and since there are no mutated Honkai Beasts here, the so-called Chariot-class and Temple-class are just easy targets.
"Dr. Tesla, how is the situation at the camp?"
"The wind and snow are really strong, except for the heavy snow... Achoo!"
Tesla rubbed her red nose, then, as if remembering something, turned to look back:
"By the way, the boy Walter brought back hasn't woken up yet. If the battle intensifies later, we'll have to find someone to help him evacuate from the Siberian plains first... Hey hey hey! What is that humanoid mecha?"
“Dr. Tesla, this is the second time you’ve been so easily startled today. However, I’ve also seen it, this blue machine.”
While Tesla was surprised, Einstein also glimpsed a blue and white robot about eighteen meters tall appearing at the rear of the camp through the surveillance cameras left at the camp.
Before Tesla could give the order for the Titan Legion to intercept the robot, it slightly bent its knees, revealing the intricate mechanical structure inside, and with a clear engine start-up sound, it suddenly leaped into the air!
What puzzled Tesla was that the robot was propelled entirely by a propellant-free method, without relying on ejected material to generate thrust, and the furnace on its back was constantly emitting visible green particles.
As for the flight speed, according to Tesla's estimation, the robot is currently stable at around Mach 0.7, which is already the highest flight speed of some passenger planes, even though it has only been less than 5 seconds since takeoff.
How can a vehicle accelerate from 0 to Mach 0.7 in just 5 seconds? What kind of cutting-edge technology is this?
At this moment, the AI of a Titan mech, the cutting-edge 'MR-01 TITAN', sent a message to Einstein and Tesla:
"Dr. Tesla, the boy from the plains has already regained consciousness and disappeared."
"? No, why do you wait until someone is gone before you go to catch them? I really feel that Entropy's mass-produced AI needs some more human-like modifications."
Tesla was so angry that he ran back and kicked Titan, who was standing at the entrance of the camp. Titan's head camera was pointed outside the camp, and the sound of his voice was hoarse and choppy. Could it be that it was being corrupted by the rising Honkai energy of the Siberian plain?
"Chicken-hair, that robot is flying in your direction. Be careful to hide yourself. The other side doesn't know its intentions. Let the guy from Destiny deal with the robot first."
While preparing to disassemble Titan to study its malfunctions, Tesla reminded Einstein that the communication tablet was covered in static, as if something was blocking the communication signal.
"Tsk, messy hair, you better not get into trouble..."
Tesla cannot leave the camp, which houses Anti-Entropy's Titan forces and a silver bullet. As one of Anti-Entropy's highest leaders, she must remain in place.
Meanwhile, as Einstein was puzzled by the abrupt communication interruption, her mechanical spheres, Eins, became increasingly chaotic, eventually being casually smashed by a tank-class Honkai Beast while out of control.
"All wireless communications have been cut off. Could it be that machine?"
The two A-rank Valkyries, now without Eins's support, were groaning in despair. Einstein couldn't receive their signals either, but they were shouting quite loudly.
"Roar!!!"
Without Eins's control and restraint, four Knight-class Honkai Beasts, three Chariot-class Honkai Beasts, and two Temple-class Honkai Beasts broke through the A-class Valkyrie's defenses and were preparing to attack Einstein from behind.
Without these Honkai Beasts, the A-rank Valkyries in front had an easier time, but Einstein wasn't so lucky. She subconsciously started to command the Titan Legion, but then remembered that all wireless communication was cut off and she would have to enter the cockpit inside to drive the Titan.
At that moment, Einstein could hear the roar of engines approaching from afar, and the blue and white machine was moving rapidly forward as seen with the naked eye.
"Too fast. If the communication disruption was all because of this new machine, then the fact that the other side flew here from their camp nearly three kilometers away is nothing more than..."
"boom!"
Just as Einstein calculated the time, she saw a huge, pointed shield being thrown at her. Before she could react, the shield grazed past her and smashed a knight-class Honkai Beast that was chasing after her into the frozen ground.
The shield's base pierced the frozen ground, stirring up snow and dust. As Einstein coughed, the blue-and-white humanoid machine she had seen on camera not long ago landed warmly in front of her.
"Fifteen seconds, just fifteen seconds."
Einstein muttered to himself, “With such terrifying maneuverability, even though the machine in front of me is only eighteen meters tall, less than half the height of Alahato, the former’s cruising speed alone is enough to make the latter look like a fool.”
Even a technology like Reverse Entropy, which specializes in developing unmanned mechs, has never been able to develop a mech as agile as this one.
Just then, a burst of rousing music emanated from the machine in front of us, followed by a childish voice coming from its loudspeaker:
"Exia, expel the target!"
Chapter 4: Exia, Expel the Target!
After slamming his shield down at low altitude to eliminate the fastest knight-class Honkai Beast, Zhao Si landed smoothly on the ground with Veda's assistance. He immediately took deep breaths to relieve the adrenaline rush from the high-speed flight.
Damn, it was ten or even nine times more thrilling than being killed by a dump truck. Zhao Si still remembered that the moment he pushed the control stick forward and pulled it all the way back, the surging recoil pressed him firmly into the seat.
Is this the speed of the Gundam Exia as a melee-specialized mobile suit? I can't even imagine what the other transformable MS, the Exia, must be like.
Unfortunately, Zhao Si never bought any, so he's definitely not in the prize pool now.
While Zhao Si caught his breath, more Honkai Beasts attacked him, and Veda's notification sound kept ringing.
Looking at these Honkai Beasts that were as tall as Exusiai or even several meters taller, Zhao Si felt no fear whatsoever.
Because, at this moment, with Exia in his piloting mode, he is powerful enough to surpass Amuro Ray!
[Gundam Exia has landed on the battlefield. The background music has been turned on for you, host. Now, please shout out that line~]
(BGM: TRANS - AM RAISER)
As the familiar music began, Zhao Si took a deep breath and then shouted:
"Exia, drive out the target!"
The next moment, the GN Drive behind Exia shone brightly, spraying GN particles. The 57.2-ton machine did not move its legs, but rushed forward in a manner similar to sliding.
Low-altitude suspension, it is low-altitude suspension with extremely high purity!
As the first tank-class Honkai Beast leaped forward, Exusiai threw the GN shield she had retrieved with her left hand. The shield collided with the tank-class Honkai Beast, lost momentum, and fell. The airborne tank-class Honkai Beast was knocked backward several meters by the small shield, and it also knocked down the other two Honkai Beasts following it.
Exusiai immediately stood back on the ground, and at the same time, three fixed claws extended from the sole of her left foot, firmly locking the Knight-class Honkai Beast that had been driven into the ground and burying it back into the ground. No matter how the opponent's spear pierced her thigh, it could not break through the armor covered with GN particles.
"Tsk, there are so many of them, I have to protect the people behind them..." Zhao Si muttered to himself, while the Veda system he was equipped with helped him calculate the best order of elimination.
The knight-class Honkai Beast, which was held firmly by Exusiai's left foot, was flung back to the horde of Honkai Beasts the moment Exusiai took off. Meanwhile, the GN composite sword and shield held by Exusiai's right hand rotated and unfolded its blade, docking with the muzzle of the GN beam gun, from which high-frequency vibrational energy and highly compressed GN particles were released.
"coming!"
The first Temple-class Honkai Beast charged to within five meters of Exusiai, its shield as tall as Exusiai's. As Exusiai swung her sword straight up, the toughest shield on the entire body of this Temple-class Honkai Beast was easily sliced through.
"right here!"
Zhao Si controlled the joystick, moving left and right. The upper body of the Exusiai, carrying the GN Gunblade, quickly spun to the left, while the right hand simultaneously changed angle, delivering another diagonal slash that sliced the body of the Temple-class Honkai Beast in two, killing it completely.
"That's not enough..."
As Exusiai turned her waist, her left hand had already grasped the hilt of the beam sword on her rear armor. As her body returned to its normal position, she threw out the fully charged GN beam dagger, instantly killing the knight-class Honkai Beast that had just been thrown out.
"There is one temple, three chariots, and three knights left."
The second Temple-class Honkai Beast seized the moment when Exusiai was still recovering from her double-handed attack, thrusting her right spear straight at Exusiai's chest, but the latter casually spread her legs and bent down to dodge it.
In the blink of an eye, the Exia, taking advantage of its low-altitude hovering ability, spun 360° in place and used the momentum to perform a spinning slash. The powerful cutting ability of the GN Sword and Shield once again ended the life of the Temple-class Honkai Beast.
"Roar!"
The three tank-class Honkai Beasts not far away used the same trick again, jumping up and crushing Zhao Si. But they were beasts that never learned their lesson. Zhao Si simply retreated and rose thirty meters into the air, and the three tank-class Honkai Beasts missed their target, leaving only a large crater in the snow with a loud bang.
Suddenly, just as Zhao Si was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a piercing alarm sounded in the cockpit of Veda, pulling his somewhat distracted attention back.
"Veda is warning: Is something wrong with the people the plan is supposed to protect?"
In a flash, Zhao Si's hands didn't stop moving. Exusiai immediately turned to look at Einstein, who was desperately fleeing. Three Knight-class Honkai Beasts were chasing after her, not participating in the previous siege, but prioritizing killing humans.
Without the slightest hesitation, Exia swooped down toward Einstein, releasing the hilt of her sword with her right hand as the blade rebounded, while simultaneously gripping the GN Longsword and GN Shortsword on either side of her thighs with both hands. With Veda's aiming assistance, she swung them out with maximum force, then gripped the hilt of another beam sword on her rear armor with her right hand, transforming it into a beam dagger the instant it was fully charged and swung it out!
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Two GN physical swords pierced through the two Knight-class Honkai Beasts closest to Einstein, and the last beam dagger pierced through the last Knight-class Honkai Beast. They all crashed to the ground, and the shockwave sent Einstein, who was running ahead, flying away. Fortunately, he was unharmed, only rolling three times in the snow.
"There are... only three tank-class Honkai Beasts left."
Zhao Si breathed a slight sigh of relief. Under his control, Exia's right hand gripped the GN Gunblade hilt again, unfolding the blade. Her left hand reached out from under her right armpit and grasped the beam sword hilt on the base behind her shoulder. As she pulled it out and swung it back, it was fully charged and transformed into a GN Beam Sword.
At this moment, Exusiai floated in mid-air, looking down at the three tank-class Honkai Beasts that were the same height as her, holding her beam sword and physical sword on her left and right, ready to strike.
Perhaps it was only then that it realized the other Honkai Beasts who had come with it had all been killed in just a few rounds. Even without any brains, its animalistic instincts were warning it:
What's in front of me is dangerous!
Unable to stop, it growled softly. As the GN particles spread, they also clashed with the Honkai energy within the Honkai Beast's body. It was this instinct that caused the Chariot-class Honkai Beast to hesitate and dare not move forward for the first time.
Even Einstein, who was watching the battle from behind the GN Longsword, couldn't help but exclaim, "I've never seen anything like this before."
As for Zhao Si, who was floating in the air, he took a breather while the other side remained still.
