The Legendary Mechanic c1-1385

  “It’s an advantage of our class. While we Mechanics have many weapons and underlings, are able to adapt to any situation, and especially for me, have the recovery abilities of a pugilist… I will never have Psychic abilities,” Han Xiao joked.

  “… This is not exactly consoling me either.”

  As they continued to talk, Han Xiao was glancing at the interface’s combat information. While Kasuyi did not know about the origins of these creatures, he could find out just by looking at the interface.

  The interface had named this creature ‘Space Louse’, with an average level of 240 to 260. It was a special biological life form with extreme racial talents. Just judging by their attributes and skills, it seems that the strength of a single Space Louse was already slightly higher than a normal Calamity Grade Super but far from reaching the Beyond Grade A realm. It was mainly because of their amazing resistance obtained from living in the chaotic space stream. Those Interstellar Beasts he had met before this all paled in comparison to them.

  The Space Louse also had the ability to share energy. The more of their race within a certain distance, the higher their boost would be. They could share damage and transfer attributes, but there was a limit. However, at this limit, they could even resist the attacks of a pinnacle Beyond Grade A.

  “This sort of creature is quite powerful. As long as their numbers are large enough, they can be compared to a pinnacle Beyond Grade A. I’d like to get a bunch of them to breed, but I don’t know their habits or if they could survive in the main universe…” Han Xiao stroked his chin.

  “I don’t care about that right now.” Kasuyi waved his hand. He only wanted to enter this secondary dimension to obtain an opportunity for his God’s Trait Transformation.

  “That’s right. Let’s finish our business first.”

  Han Xiao nodded and was about to command his machinery to fire and blow up a portion of the Space Louse group to create a channel into the secondary dimension.

  At this moment…

  Boom!

  A tyrannical energy wave erupted in the distance, quickly approaching.

  Sensing the fluctuations, Han Xiao and Kasuyi’s expressions changed.

  “This energy…” Kasuyi had a solemn expression.

  “This is a real pinnacle Beyond Grade A. His realm is probably no lower than you or me!” Han Xiao frowned.

  In their perception range, the source of this energy was fast approaching them, bringing about a strong sense of threat.

  Both of their figures flashed as they finally left the spaceship. They also revealed their auras, gazing at the distance where the fluctuations were coming from.

  Not long after, a comet shot over, stopping in front of them and revealing itself to be a three-meter-tall figure, with weird armor covering their entire body and only leaving two blue light dots where the eyes of the helmet were.

  Han Xiao and Kasuyi sized up the visitor, quietly exchanging a glance before communicating mentally.

  “Did you see this person the last two times?”

  “Nope, his aura is foreign to me.”

  “Could this person be someone who hid in the secondary dimension his whole life, cultivating until he reached the pinnacle Beyond Grade A realm?”

  “It’s possible.”

  “I’ll try conversing with him.”

  The two quickly reached a consensus. Kasuyi immediately released friendly mental signals, sending a spiritual message to attempt to communicate.

  Han Xiao did not intervene in the exchange between them, but after a few seconds, he saw Kasuyi’s expression turning ugly.

  “What did he say?”

  “No matter what I say, his replies were exactly the same, asking us to leave, otherwise they will kill us invaders.”

  “He called us invaders?” Han Xiao was full of surprise. “Could this secondary dimension be his territory?”

  Considering the difficulty of the mission, Han Xiao had known that the mission would not be easy from the beginning, but he had only thought that this secondary dimension was a nest of the Space Lice. Now it seemed like they were wrong. Furthermore, the Space Lice around did not attack the mysterious newcomer, as though they were bred, so the truth was not so simple anymore. “How would I know? It seems like there’s nothing to talk about anymore. Get ready to do it.” Kasuyi narrowed his eyes. He had to obtain his opportunity for his God’s Trait Transformation, and it was impossible to compromise.

  “Alright, but there’s no need to fight him. We just need him to retreat, and we can directly enter the secondary dimension to see what’s going on inside,” Han Xiao suggested

  Kasuyi nodded, and without warning, a sudden violent mental attack burst out from him, shattering the surrounding chaotic space stream.

  The mysterious person instantly attacked, surging blue energy gushing out to collide against Kasuyi’s psychic energies. Boom! The violent energies exploded, clearing the entire area of the machinery and Space Lice. Kasuyi’s MP was nigh infinite, so his style was aggressive. However, his opponent was not stingy with their energy either. Both of their energies clashed to a stalemate in midair, radiating outward as shockwaves.

  However, the strength of the mysterious person was actually as impressive as Kasuyi’s!

  Seeing this, Han Xiao immediately joined the battle, fighting two against one as his Mechanical Force dragged the countless soldiers toward him.

  The next moment, a small-scale Mechanical Deity descended on him, throwing out a slash from his blade.

  Because the other party’s combat power has undoubtedly reached the SS rank, the effect of [Fearless Heart] was immediately activated!

  Swoosh!

  The Celestial Punishment Edge cut through like a hot knife through butter, slashing away the energy that the mysterious person was using as a shield and striking him backward so quickly that he turned into a comet, disappearing in their field of vision.

  Kasuyi’s psychic energy suddenly had no resistance left, and he could hardly react in time. He spoke in a stunned tone.

  “You… knocked him flying? Isn’t that too quick”

  Kasuyi was in a delicate mood. He felt that Black Star seemed to be far stronger than he expected. There was a huge error in his impression on the strength that Black Star had.

  “Alright, cut the extra talk. I only knocked him away. If he returns, we’ll have to continue fighting him. Let’s just enter and check the place out.”

  Han Xiao personally took action, manipulating his Mechanical Deity to lead the way using his blade and smashing open a route through the Space Lice. He exploded the shield formed by the energy resonance of the Space Lice, exposing the space wall of the secondary dimension.

  Seeing this, Kasuyi did not have time to question Han Xiao’s strength. He hurriedly followed him as they rushed into the secondary dimension with a large wave of machinery.

  At this moment, the mysterious person finally flew back. Looking at the gradually closing space wall, the blue light spots at the position of his eyes flickered rapidly, suddenly turning red.

  “Intruders succeeded in breaking through the second line of defense. Immediately adopting the third set of response plans. Changing operation mode… Change completed. Current mode: Pursue and Kill!”

  Han Xiao had just entered the space wall, and seeing the chaotic space stream of blue and purple colors, along with the feeling of suffocation, he got a big surprise.

  “This feeling seems to be different from when I’ve entered other secondary dimensions…”

  Before he could even sense the scene carefully, his sight took an abrupt change.

  Seeing the new scene, he paused in astonishment.

  He was situated high above the sky, with an extremely prosperous galactic city facing him. The city had tall buildings and bright lights, along with countless flying vehicles and an endless flow of people on the street, all of which were a race he had never seen before.

  “This… What’s the situation here?”

&n
bsp; By the side, Kasuyi was also shocked. He did not expect the inside to look like this.

  Han Xiao now remembered that the combat information about the mysterious person was termed ‘Supreme Guardian’. So, the object of the person’s protection was this civilization?

  Looking behind them, they got a shock once again. What appeared was not the space wall of the secondary dimension but rather a sky full of galaxies like the main universe.

  Just as the two were puzzled, a sudden change occurred!

  “Wu Wu Wu Wu! Emergency evacuation! Emergency evacuation!” A harsh alarm suddenly sounded in the entire city, and the ground shook, with the steel surfaces sliding away to reveal various refuge entrances. The countless pedestrians and flying vehicles seemed to have practiced this thousands of times, hurriedly flying into the shelters.

  At the same time, turrets with weird forms protruded from the ground, aiming at the two.

  “Hey, we’re being treated as invaders now… What is this?” Before Han Xiao could finish, he sensed the aura fluctuations of six Beyond Grade As, and his eyes widened.

  In the distance, six figures rose into the sky from all directions of the city, rushing toward the duo.

  Seeing this, Han Xiao and Kasuyi shared a glance, their eyes brimming with surprise. In addition to the previous pinnacle Beyond Grade A outside, there were now at least seven Beyond Grade As in this secondary dimension! What the hell is this place?

  “Luckily, the six of them are only at the Beyond Grade A level. We should be able to handle them… huh?”

  Kasuyi suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his expression turning unsightly.

  “What’s wrong?”

  “My connection with the Void Dimension… seems to be disconnected?” Kasuyi’s eyes got wider as he spoke.

  Han Xiao frowned, secretly feeling it before realizing that he too could no longer connect to the Void Dimension.

  Opening his interface, he checked if he was suffering from any abnormal state, but his status was as usual, not affected by any space interference device.

  But as he scrolled down, he found something strange.

  Not only did his talents related to the Void Dimension turn gray, but even his secondary dimensional army box and Dimension Factory were frozen, unable to be activated.

  “What’s going on?”

  Han Xiao was confused, feeling that this secondary dimension was revealing an indescribable weirdness.

  Chapter 1194 - Mobile War System

  Just as the duo were caught unawares, the six Beyond Grade As had already arrived and encircled them.

  The one who seemed to be the leader spoke loudly, but neither Han Xiao nor Kasuyi understood the other party. They were using an unfamiliar language, and it was not in the general translator’s database.

  Kasuyi squinted before releasing his psychic waves to communicate, pulling Han Xiao into the chat channel.

  Seeing this scene, the leader was stunned for a moment before he received the mental connection. The moment he connected, he immediately asked, “You guys, where did you come from? Why do you not understand the common language?” “Where is this place?” Kasuyi replied with a question.

  “Tudor Province Capital, a colonial planet under the Caliste civilization. I’m the Captain of the Protectorate Team, Farlite. I request you to explain your origins and identity immediately as to why you appeared out of thin air over the city. Please answer!”

  Hearing this, both Kasuyi and Han Xiao shared a glance, sensing each other’s doubts through the mental link.

  Caliste Civilization? They had never heard of it before. Looking from the history of the exploration era up till now, there were no records of such a civilization. Could it be that this was a civilization borne in the secondary dimension that had never appeared in the main universe? While they did not know their level of technology, just the six Beyond Grade As could already occupy a place in the main universe.

  Seeing that the two of them did not respond, Farlite intensified his tone and shouted, “This is the period of martial law in the entire universe. You’ve violated the ban set by the Celestial Star Alliance, visiting the colonial planets of other civilizations without permission and showing your power at will. According to the relevant laws and regulations, you have to immediately disarm yourselves and give up resistance, sealing your own Source and accepting our investigation. Otherwise, we will take coercive measures!”

  These words could be understood separately, but linked together, they only gave the duo more confusion.

  Universal martial law? Celestial Star Alliance? Source? What’s that? While they did not understand the nuances, the overall meaning was clear. It was nothing more than asking them to give up any resistance. However, in such an unfamiliar environment, it was naturally impossible for the two to give up self-protection and allow themselves to be apprehended. Kasuyi wanted to ask more, but upon seeing that the two of them remained indifferent, Farlite’s expression sank, and he moved without speaking further.

  Boom!

  His aura exploded suddenly, and in a flash of rainbow light, Farlite charged in front of Kasuyi as though he had teleported, lashing out with a punch. The shock waves from the compressed air sounded out as a sonic boom.

  “You dare move against me?”

  Kasuyi frowned, and with a speed even quicker than Farlite’s, he reached out and placed his hand on the side of Farlite’s fist. He slightly tilted his body, pushing against Farlite’s fist. The majestic Pugilist aura was cast aside, turning into a beam of light as it disappeared into the galaxy. His movements then shifted lightly, and an elbow shot forward, hitting Farlite’s chest. The highly concentrated psychic energy was akin to acupuncture, pouring into the opponent’s body through the point of contact without a single bit leaked.

  Boom!

  The energy erupted internally, and Farlite could no longer control his body, flying back at a speed that was several times faster. He crashed through the skyscrapers, leaving behind large holes that were totally see through as he disappeared into the distance.

  Han Xiao could not help but comment, “Oh, looks like you can do hand to hand combat with a Pugilist as well.”

  “Don’t look down on others. I killed my way out from the Void Dimension, so melee is also my forte.” Kasuyi shook his arm casually.

  While he was used to squandering the limitless mana provided by the Void Dimension, he had been a very precise fighter before, causing the greatest damage using the least energy. As a void creature that lived in the Void Dimension since his childhood, melee would not be his weakness.

  Furthermore, he was still a pinnacle Beyond Grade A, and just his raw attributes would already be able to allow him to compete with a Beyond Grade A Pugilist, let alone with his dual abilities of spiritual and psychic powers.

  The other five Beyond Grade As seemed to have received a shock, letting out exclamations of surprise. Han Xiao did not know what they talked about, but in the next instant, the five of them rushed over, besieging them. The various weapons on the city’s ground level also opened fire toward them, filling the sky with explosions like fireworks.

  “Sigh, these people are so irritable. They dare to fight above the city. Aren’t they afraid that we’ll just blow up their planet?” Han Xiao sarcastically remarked before a wave of his hand brought up the concentrated firepower of his machinery, whilst some of them entangled with the five Beyond Grade As.

  The mechanical units that were fighting against the Space Lice outside the secondary dimension had been brought in together by Han Xiao. While his secondary dimensional army box and Dimension Factory could not be opened at this time, leading to a lack of troops that could be summoned, the Great Mechanic Han was not worried at all.

  A Mechanic’s weapons were all crafted by themself. If he could not use his inventory, he could just pick whatever materials he had on the spot and make something!

  The stronger his hands-on abilities, the more assurance he had!

  The six oppone
nts consisted of two Pugilists, a Mage, and three Psychics, all of which were ordinary Beyond Grade As with Energy Ranks below 52,000 Ona. As soon as both sides clashed, the five Beyond Grade As fell into a disadvantage, only being able to resist with difficulty. Even if Farlite managed to return to the battlefield, he would not be able to reverse their predicament, only holding on bitterly. With the advanced attribute bonus brought about by the Promotion to level 340, coupled with the explosive output brought by his [Legendary Battle Technique] and [Fearless Heart] skills, an ordinary Beyond Grade A wanting to go against him was simply deciding that they wanted to cut their lives short. Furthermore, there was yet another pinnacle Beyond Grade A, Kasuyi, beside him. Against these normal biological life forms, the latter’s Psychic skills could finally exert their full lethality. Together, it was a simple task to beat the ordinary Beyond Grade As.

  However, even if the six were not opponents of Kasuyi and Han Xiao, it was still possible to contain them for a period of time. This was even more achievable given that the duo were unaware of the situation and thus did not wish to unnecessarily kill.

  While using his Psychic Acupuncture technique to cause hemorrhage to his opponent’s brains, Kasuyi communicated to Han Xiao through the mental channel

  “Black Star, we’re not in our strongest states now. There’s also another pinnacle Beyond Grade A outside the secondary dimension. If he joins in, the situation will be unfavorable to us. We don’t need to continue this battle and instead should leave this place to obtain more intelligence as a long-term plan.”

  “My sentiments, let’s shake them off.”

  Han Xiao nodded. He was very concerned about the information these people revealed, wanting to figure out his current environment as soon as possible.

  With a thought, he pulled all his mechanical soldiers together, gathering them.

  Clank!

  The Mechanical Deity descended once again, stretching out a hand to grab Kasuyi and integrate him within before igniting all its thrusters and rising into outer space.

  Farlite shouted, as though telling them not to run, while leading the other five along in pursuit. Pugilist flames, Psychic impacts, and Magic spells continued to blast toward the Mechanical Deity, all of which were shielded by the honeycomb structure of its Emperor’s Саре.
