Chapter 228: God's Defensive Counter

"Audience members, this green light is not a special effect; it is the reaction between the Golden Zone and the K23. Competitor Romero has already entered the Golden Zone; he is about to get serious," Huonan said. "You may have all noticed that the weapons of the Super Mecha in the EMP have all been added with K23 symbols. If one has not comprehended the Golden Zone, the difference is not significant, but for those who possess it, it increases lethality at a minimum and may even add some magical power. This is also a problem that Puppet must face; the gap in his Titanium Blade, both in terms of strength and performance, is even greater than that of the mecha itself." Kuangwu Daren said with a grave expression, "Actually, in my personal opinion, this gap has already exceeded the limits of operation. My reason tells me that there is almost no possibility of winning this match." "Heh, it's too late to cave in now. If you don't pay attention to cutting-edge technology, you deserve to lose!" Huonan laughed.

"But my intuition tells me that in the end, Puppet will still win!" Kuangwu Daren's emotions remained very stable. People from Ancient Martial Families all share a common trait: excellent emotional control.

Damn it, Huonan squinted at this rookie who had absolutely no respect for his elders; he felt a bit like hitting someone.

Romero on the battlefield, however, did not show off at all. Accompanied by a loud sound, the Netherfire Genesis launched a forced attack, not wanting to give his opponent any chance to catch their breath.

From the start of the preparations until now, Romero has shown an absolute desire to win.

Snap—Bang!

Low Altitude Flash Jump Flying Slash!

This is an ultra-high difficulty S-Class Speed Kill Technique combining Flash Strike and a low-altitude challenge. The Underworld Blade, like a summons from the Grim Reaper, plunged straight into the Cockpit; it is almost impossible to dodge at close range.

With a loud explosion, the Armor Dragon tried to pull away, but this was simply impossible. The Underworld Fire Fighter stuck to it like a Ghost, the Underworld Blade hacking crazily at the Armor Dragon. The Armor Dragon could not evade, and the two sides' Titanium Blades crashed together crazily, sparks flying everywhere. The Underworld Blade bloomed with an increasingly intense green light, like a hellish demon god, suppressing the Armor Dragon firmly.

Boom...

Another heavy blade strike, but the Titanium Blade blocked it. Sparks burst out. The director's camera in the bottom right corner gave a close-up: the Armor Dragon's Titanium Blade had developed a notch?

And this was exactly what the Underworld Fire Fighter wanted. Once the move succeeded, Boom, boom, boom... a Triple Slash rotated down.

The Armor Dragon blocked them all, performed a sliding blade move, deflected the Underworld Blade, and threw a punch. But the Underworld Fire Fighter did not dodge or defend; the mecha roared, lunged forward to meet it, and simultaneously pulled back the Underworld Blade with lightning speed.

Boom! The punch hit the cockpit, the mecha vibrated violently, but Romero refused to retreat. At this moment, the Underworld Blade was also pulled back and swept directly toward the Armor Dragon's head. The Armor Dragon's left Arm Shield was raised.

Boom...

The Martians were already hysterically excited. This is the bloodiness they wanted to see; even in a dominant state, there is still the invincible courage to risk one's life. This is living toward death!

Screw it, go!

How fierce Puppet's attacks are, countless people have witnessed before. He actually lunged forward to take it head-on? This is the Lone Wolf, the most ruthless man on Mars!

In the Cockpit, Romero's only right eye burned with a crazy red light. Pain, torment, Nightmare Mode, and that trampled dignity appeared every night. If he does not defeat this person, he cannot move forward!

Kill! Accompanied by Romero's wild roar, the Underworld Blade in his hand hacked crazily at the Armor Dragon. Under his feet was the firm and decisive Steel Step, pressing forward step by step—advancing without retreating, living without dying!

Facing this situation, the Armor Dragon could not break free no matter what. Romero's Underworld Blade hacked like lightning. Accompanied by a shattering sound, the Titanium Shield finally could not withstand the force; cracks exploded instantly. Following that, time seemed to pause for a moment, and Romero kicked the Armor Dragon mecha's cockpit with a heavy, powerful blow.

The Armor Dragon braced itself with the back of its Titanium Blade.

Boom! The Armor Dragon flew backward upon impact. Almost less than a second after it flew out, Romero's Netherfire Genesis shot out, not giving any chance to catch a breath!

The Underworld Fire Fighter disappeared from the field of vision, snap, snap...

Two consecutive explosive sounds; Romero's Underworld Fire Fighter performed two extreme chain Flash Strikes, arriving at the position in advance.

The mecha made a massive 360-degree violent twist. The Underworld Fire Fighter emitted a strong sound of steel muscle friction. The Underworld Blade's green light burned fiercely, just as Romero's killing intent had filled the sky, and he struck at the Armor Dragon with one blade.

The enthusiasm of almost all Martians reached their throats, and at the same time, the hearts of all of Puppet's supporters also jumped to their throats.

Bang! The Armor Dragon's backward-flying arc dodge gave the fastest reaction in the nick of time, but it was still a step too slow. The Armor Dragon's left arm was directly sliced off, sparks sizzling, and the Armor Dragon Fighter spiraled and slid out to the right.

The whole arena was in an uproar. It could still react in this situation?

Yet Romero, who had performed consecutive high-intensity operations, acted as if nothing had happened. The mecha forced a lunge to pursue. Accompanied by a low roar, waves of Zone Spiritual Bombardment Technique swept out. The Underworld Fire Fighter, like a Ghost, brought out a trail of Fuguang Lueying high-speed movement and rushed in front of the Armor Dragon.

Nether Step + Wolf Pack Roar!

The Underworld Blade broke through the air, and at the same time, the upper arm of the Underworld Fire Fighter ejected an Arm Blade. The entire mecha was like a devil from hell, crazily sticking close, and the green light erupted to completely envelop the Armor Dragon.

Everyone held their breath. Was the match over?

Facing the Underworld Fire Fighter's combination of blade attacks, the Armor Dragon Fighter, having lost its left arm, swayed helplessly like a small, broken boat in a stormy sea. It could be destroyed at any moment, yet it dodged narrowly every time. A sense of suffocating weirdness permeated the helplessness, as if the pilot inside was no longer Human—struggling, wandering, swaying...

Dozens of blades all missed???

The next second, Romero's warning signs flared up. By the time he reacted, the Titanium Blade had already reached his eyes.

The Laser Shield opened in a second.

Boom. Bang! An unimaginably heavy blow; the Underworld Fire Fighter was like a cannonball, taking off from where it stood and flying more than twenty meters before stumbling to a steady stance.

In the Cockpit, a mouthful of blood surged up Romero's throat, but a red light flashed in his eyes, followed by red flames spreading over his entire body, forcing it back down.

Golden Zone Second Stage—Burning Will!

"Hahaha, haha... cough," Romero's laughter came over the public channel. "You finally decided to get serious. Unfortunately, it's too late!"

The Underworld Fire Fighter suddenly flew backward???

Everyone was dumbfounded, their Titanium Alloy eyes blinded. Who exactly was the dominant side?

Why retreat at this time? And what did getting serious mean?

The Underworld Fire Fighter began to gradually blend into the environment, accompanied by intense alarm sounds—the second wave of Giant Insects was arriving.

This wave consisted of Razor Giant Insects, Venom Giant Insects, and Lurkers!

If it were one-on-one, the mecha's movement and engine sound would still be detected, at least enough to grasp a rough trajectory. But now, the Armor Dragon's energy had to be diverted to deal with the Giant Insects. Most importantly, this second wave of Giant Insects would all rush toward the Armor Dragon.

At this time, the number of people in the live stream had reached 300 million. Some were newcomers, and they watched this match speechlessly. Someone as powerful as Romero actually chose to hide when facing a broken Armor Dragon, hiding behind the Giant Insects?

Where is the dignity of a Martian Warrior? The pride? The courage? You're playing tactics at a time like this???

The Armor Dragon did not dodge, meeting the Giant Insects head-on. The Giant Insects pounced without fear of death. The slaughter began; the Titanium Blade flashed, and the Giant Insects were sliced in two, but more Giant Insects swarmed up.

Boom, boom, boom...

Snap, snap, snap...

One Giant Insect after another struggled and exploded, but there were too many of them, and the Armor Dragon clearly had problems. The damaged areas began to tear; the more powerful the operation, the greater the damage to the mecha, and... the Titanium Blade was even curled.

And what about Romero?

The Armor Dragon was pursued by the mixed Giant Insect swarm, and the Lurkers on the ground exploded dozens of ground spikes, forcing the Armor Dragon to charge forward.

Just at this moment, an engine sound hidden in the roar of the Giant Insects suddenly rang out. Romero's Netherfire Genesis materialized, appearing behind the Armor Dragon mecha.

This was the only chance in this battle!

Flash Strike—Zero Style Wolf Fang!

Man-Machine Integration; the mecha staked everything on one throw, killing toward the Armor Dragon along with the blade's edge.

Facing the Giant Insects' inescapable net and the Netherfire Genesis like the Grim Reaper, the Armor Dragon, in a somewhat weird state, turned its back to Romero and swung its Titanium Blade fiercely at the air in front of it?????

Boom—under the eyes of the crowd, the Armor Dragon disappeared??

The Netherfire Genesis's foolproof Zero Style Wolf Fang missed??

In a flash, the Armor Dragon appeared behind the Underworld Fire Fighter, the Titanium Blade just swung out, tracing an arc????

Swallow Flying Return??

Why?

What kind of Swallow Flying Return is this???

In this instant, everyone's mouths hung wide open; Kuangwu Daren and Huonan's eyeballs were about to pop out, their jaws seemingly dislocated—this was something one couldn't even dream of!

Why would there be such a choice?

Reverse Flash Swallow Flying Return?! Is this something a human can use??

In an instant, the Puppet's dead end turned into Romero's dead end; Romero appeared amidst the encirclement of the Giant Insects, his attacks completely missing, while the Armor Dragon arrived behind the Netherfire Mecha—the preemptive strike with lead time had become a finishing blow that even God couldn't dodge!

A reversal in the blink of an eye by a top-tier powerhouse?

In a split second, everyone's hearts rose and fell like a roller coaster; just when they thought they saw the result, it derailed and was thrown straight into space.

The Titanium Blade slashed down. Romero didn't react at all—this was absolutely not something a human could react to—it's over...

Bang—however, a scene that made everyone's jaws drop again appeared: the Armor Dragon's Titanium Blade snapped?!

This was perhaps the Puppet's only chance in the entire match, and the blade actually broke??

The desperate Martians suddenly crawled back out of hell, kicked the Earthlings in, and didn't forget to press a giant rock on top!

At this moment, the red light all over Romero filled the Cockpit; he had waited for this moment for five years.

This person was still as arrogant as he was back then, but he had overlooked the limits of the Mecha; this was why he had fought recklessly earlier—that wasn't the winning point, this is!

A true powerhouse controls the entire situation!

Almost all of Romero's supporters went crazy; everyone was roaring, "Create distance, create distance!" In this situation, the Armor Dragon no longer had a chance; surrounded by insects, the Mecha was on the verge of collapse, and with the third Flash Strike just used, it could be said that the operational space the Armor Dragon could provide was gone—it was the absolute limit of limits.

Die!

Die!

Die!

Finally, finally, the Puppet is going to fall!

(Also, later on; the old boy knows the consequences of not updating.)
