Exploding God

In the dreamlike Hebrides, he admired the magnificent and rugged red Courrin Mountains and the extraordinary stone pillars, lingered in the mysterious underwater caves and the rock terraces rushing into the sea.

In a fleeting moment when he looked up at the sky, he inadvertently saw the spirits that belonged there: white-cheeked black geese.

He never imagined that he would see such a brilliant, sun-like spirit in his humble life.

The adult birds build their nests on bare cliffs, hundreds of meters above the ground, where not a blade of grass grows.

The young white-cheeked geese must, within 48 hours of birth, flap their downy, fleshy wings and leap from a cliff hundreds of meters high, braving strong winds, the rising sun, and predators...

Staying up there would only lead to starvation, so they must exert all their strength to fight for a less than 30% chance of survival; this is their survival rule.

If even geese and sparrows behave this way, how much more so should humans?

His humility was completely discarded from that moment on.

His fame, ever since then, has resounded like an epic throughout the Misty Star Sea.

……

"The strong are born to face adversity; if they cannot overcome it, they will only face death."

Calmly talking to himself, Lu Ze, amidst several astonished, trembling, and shocked gazes, lightly leaped over the edge of the 472-meter-high tower!

Forty meters behind him, Tian He, who had just opened the iron gate, suddenly clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale.

This is fucking giving me a heart attack!

The moment the boy leaped into the air, he actually turned his head and gave me a smile.

day!

Who wants to see you laugh!

My performance and future prospects.

Tower monitor Tian He desperately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Report... someone jumped off the tower..."

"It wasn't bungee jumping, I wasn't wearing protective gear... Am I kidding?"

"Damn it, I'm not kidding!"

Three kilometers away, a giant vampire bat seemed to have spotted prey and suddenly broke away from the swarm, attacking like an arrow.

Above the tower, an elemental mech surrounded by electric light and hovering in a levitation state suddenly turned its head, and the cursor instantly locked onto the figure falling straight down. The brow behind the visor furrowed.

[Identified humanoid creature; falling speed 127 m/s; straight-line distance 720 meters.]

Time to bottoming out... 3.51 seconds.

Are the personnel on duty at the reconnaissance tower just sitting around doing nothing?

"Han Zhen, the coordinates have been shared. You have 3.5 seconds to save the person."

Among the mech battle group fighting the giant pseudo-toothed bird, a fighter mech with an all-orange body and streamlined joints immediately separated.

"Ye Tianming, I'm a fighter, not a doctor! Just because I'm the fastest, does that mean I'm always the one putting out fires?"

"Haha, yeah, it's because you're the fastest."

"Go on, stop acting like a girl. Your mech is about to overload, right? A dive will cool it down."

"Cooling down my ass! Let's get this straight, I'm not missing out on battle points this time... If you do, I'm not finished with you!"

Laughter filled the communication channel. The slightly slender mech used its energy to perform a beautiful 270-degree roll, nimbly escaping the encirclement of the Pseudo-toothed Birds, breaking away from the battle group, and charging diagonally backward.

With Ye Tianming's coordinates shared, Han Zhen instantly located the falling boy.

"Damn it, whether you did it on purpose or not, I'll give you a good beating once I get you out of here."

[Overload 135%, the jet engine will overheat in 3.7 seconds, confirm...]

"Confirmed, confirmed, get the hell out of here!"

With a loud bang, a shockwave exploded from the jet behind Han Zhen, and the fighter mech instantly broke the sound barrier, creating a white shockwave as it hurtled forward like a supersonic missile.

"3.5 seconds to save someone, leaving me only 0.1 seconds to slow down? What do they take me for? A god?!"

"Although 0.1 seconds isn't a big problem..."

"Sigh, that's just how it is when you're too strong. Nobody can understand Brother Zhen's troubles."

As Han Zhen muttered to himself, he controlled the Fighter Mech at Mach 0.6, using a fancy spiral charge to instantly pierce through the flock of False Tooth Birds.

Inside the mecha, blood vessels almost instantly covered his eyeballs. This was an inevitable phenomenon caused by the violent acceleration. Although it looked somewhat horrifying, Han Zhen was obviously quite familiar with it, and his expression showed no discomfort whatsoever.

Just 1.5 seconds later, Han Zhen's fighter mech had already accelerated to Mach 0.9, and his vision on both sides even began to blur, and his eyes also began to blur.

The cursor remained locked on the boy, and the system indicated that there were 1.6 seconds left before they could approach.

However, Han Zhen did not see that in the war zone he had just left behind, a strange brown smoke suddenly rose, and the pseudo-toothed birds that were fighting fiercely with the construct mechs suddenly began to flee in panic.

Whether it was the Hibiscus Squad or other construct pilots nearby, red alerts suddenly flashed in their mechs' field of vision!

[WARNING! WARNING! Energy reaction of level 6 or higher detected!]

Ye Tianming's innate keen senses allowed him to almost instantly sense the approaching danger. A chill ran down his spine, and he shouted sharply, "Mu Jin, everyone take cover! Damn it, it's too late… Qi Yuan, enter sniper mode! For a level 6 or higher threat behemoth, you only have one chance!"

The next second, he raised his right arm high, and all the amplitude holes on the arm armor opened at the same time, frantically drawing in the surrounding moisture. Frost covered his entire arm, and large patches of ice mist began to gather in his palm. Just as the beeping alarm in his ear reached its highest point, he threw it forward with a sudden jerk.

A white icicle instantly filled the field of vision and stretched forward.

[Extreme Cold Explosion]!

All the false-toothed birds that came into contact with the cold white mist began to slow down, their bodies covered with increasingly thick frost.

190 meters directly in front of the battle, a light gray sniper mech wielding a 1570mm gauss sniper rifle suddenly stopped. As it swung the muzzle forward and activated its 4x scope, the sounds of wind, whistling, and gunfire vanished from Qi Yuan's sights. All his attention was focused on the center of the flock of pseudo-toothed birds, whose crosshairs were now aimed at him.

You only have one chance...

Qi Yuan, an outstanding third-year student at Shanglan University and a three-time sharpshooting champion, abandoned all distractions and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk's.

"Scrap!"

In a cold voice, just before the false toothed bird finally separated, he caught a glimpse of the shadow that had a wingspan of nearly 15 meters.

[Four wings, not bird... then lock onto the red eye... shoot!]

The moment the frozen, ice-blue false toothed bird was smashed to pieces by the giant beast, Qi Yuan pulled the trigger.

A deep blue trajectory streaked across the air as the sniper bullet instantly pierced the giant red eye of the monstrous beast. Its head, the size of a truck tire and covered in fur, was blasted into a pulp in an instant.

"Already killed..."

"Wait, that's not a level 6, level 6 beast, it's... a level 7 strong wind-class behemoth with two brains, one positive and one negative... Ghost Eye Moth!! Qi Yuan, run!" After a deathly silence, a shrill scream suddenly erupted in the communication channel.

Qi Yuan looked up in astonishment and saw a pair of wings spread out in the air where the false tooth bird had completely dispersed. The pattern on the wings was symmetrical, like a ghost's eye. On the furry, fat body, a bloody head was turned 180 degrees, revealing a pair of bloodthirsty compound eyes hidden on its back.

squeak--

With a sharp, piercing screech, the giant wings of the Ghostface Moth suddenly snapped shut, creating a massive shockwave like that of a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier.

boom!

The brown shockwave swept across everything within a 300-meter radius, blasting both mechs and pseudo-toothed birds into the distance.

The sharpshooter Qi Yuan, who was the first to be hit, only had time to make half a dodge move before he was struck hard by a dark brown column of air.

Even nanomaterials couldn't withstand the column of air that resembled a drill bit; the armor cracked at the chest, and the sickening sound of bones crushing echoed from behind the breastplate.

Qi Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and was instantly sent flying. His speed even caught up with Han Zhen, who was diving, and he overtook him in a tenth of a second, falling to the ground at an even faster speed.

"Qi Yuan!?"

As Han Zhen turned around, he saw the Ghost Face Moth, which was approaching frantically at close range. Its huge mouth, covered in saliva, was wide open, and a vortex of liquid was brewing within it, clearly preparing to deliver a final blow to the Sharpshooter Mech.

"Run...faster..." Qi Yuan's weak voice flashed across the communication channel.

"Son of a bitch!!"

Han Zhen's eyes instantly turned red. He ignored the boy who was about to fall to the ground and opened all the jets on his shoulders, elbows, and knees to their maximum size at the same time.

A violent, slowing airwave rose up, and the fighter mech instantly completed the slowing and recoil process, folding its hands behind its back and throwing it forward violently.

Two fiery boomerangs, heated to over a thousand degrees Celsius, instantly tore through the air and struck the Ghostface Moth.

The Ghost Eye Moth's hideous compound eyes locked onto the fighter mech the moment the boomerang was thrown...

squeak--

With a sharp whistling sound, the Ghostface Moth once again slammed its wings together, and a brown air cannon shattered the sound barrier.

The piercing alarm sounded, and at that moment, Han Zhen's mind was filled with nothing but the thought of buying time for his teammates.

You guys, hurry up and leave...

"Han Zhen!"

"Brother Zhen!!"

……

Qi Yuan, already in critical condition, used his last bit of strength to trigger the buffer, and plummeted to the ground in a loss of speed.

"Hurry... let's go..."

These were his last murmurs.

In the last moment before his consciousness faded, he saw the falling boy who had just passed by him.

A gloomy sky, a swift wind, and howling screams.

The swirling fallen leaves and pebbles swept across every corner of the wilderness, yet they couldn't obscure the image of the boy calmly closing his eyes...

A calm and undisturbed expression.
