Chapter 302: Imperial Marshal Was Again Force-Flirted 30 Times

Jin Chen had just stepped out when he felt the floor begin to shake.

He narrowed his eyes at the oncoming red mech and clicked his tongue.

"Using this mech, you really aren't afraid of death."

The nanocommunicator in his ear transmitted Chester's voice; after hearing it, he exchanged a glance with Alex, and their opinions coincided.

Retreating was out of the question; he couldn't withdraw first.

"My love, I have a surprise for you."

Jin Chen approached, completely unbothered by the tense atmosphere, speaking in a flirtatious tone.

He glanced at the mech about to charge into the banquet hall; Alex's eyes showed some surprise, "At this critical moment, are you planning to send me a mech?"

"You guessed right."

Jin Chen snapped his fingers, eyes full of smiles.

He turned the spatial hub, and the fully reinforced, repaired pale-gold mech landed.

The warriors present couldn't help but be shocked, a tension and fear rising from their bones.

It was a terrifying weapon, Alex's exclusive Heavenly God Mech!

It hadn't even been destroyed!

Alex could hardly speak, frozen in place, until Jin Chen's prompting brought him back.

He clearly remembered that the Heavenly God Mech had been torn into wreckage by space when forced to cross a cosmic wormhole.

Yet now a seemingly brand-new Heavenly God Mech stood before him, appearing undamaged and no different from before.

"Actually, let's thank them when we get home; Steven has already arrived."

Jin Chen pinched his fingertip, his tone gentle.

"Mm." Alex nodded, and they smiled at each other.

Just as Steven was about to rush into the banquet hall, the Heavenly God Mech, via its neural feedback link with Alex, lifted him into the head's cockpit.

Alex gazed at the Heavenly God Mech, its head bowed like a skull, and thought silently: Long time no see, old friend.

Upon entering the cockpit, he suddenly realized Jin Chen's painstaking effort—even the control system was identical to before, and all this repairs had taken only about three months.

Steven naturally saw it clearly as well.

Having originally expected an easy victory, his mindset instantly shifted to high alert.

He knew all too well the Heavenly God Mech's power, especially since its pilot, Alex, had trained with it for so long.

But the arrow was on the string; there was no choice but to release.

His Giant Beast Mech had also undergone special imperial modifications; it would certainly not be weaker than the Heavenly God Mech!

Battle was imminent.

Two 50-meter-tall mechs surged toward each other at great speed, nearly overturning the banquet hall.

Neither cared; they fought back and forth with exhilarating abandon.

The Heavenly God Mech's back bore countless quantum thrusters fused into wings, granting it far greater speed than the Giant Beast Mech, allowing it to dodge the latter's attacks repeatedly.

Its eyes were equipped with a high-precision targeting system that could lock onto the Giant Beast Mech's movements; meanwhile, the powerful computational hub atop its head could work with the targeting system to predict the mech's next move.

Under Alex's neural thought control, its reactions were even faster, enabling it to execute complex combat maneuvers in an instant.

After a few exchanges, the Giant Beast Mech showed a clear disadvantage.

It couldn't match the Heavenly God Mech's speed, and even its evasion spots were precisely anticipated, putting it at a severe disadvantage.

After nearly being thrown out of the combat zone, the Giant Beast Mech hastily retreated, leaving its disadvantageous range to try a long-range attack.

Though its bulk lacked the Heavenly God Mech's smoothness, it was much wider; after imperial artisans' remodeling, its two thick arms were coated with ultra-heavy composite armor and fitted with extraordinarily powerful electromagnetic burst cannons, suited for long-range strikes that inflict massive damage.

The cannon fired electromagnetic rounds; the Heavenly God Mech's eyes locked onto the muzzle, data precisely calculating the optimal response: dodge.

Alex saw the screen data, frowned, yet chose not to dodge.

Given his current position, if he dodged the incoming electromagnetic shell, it would land beneath the banquet hall, right where the First and Second Army stood—and where Jin Chen was as well.

He absolutely could not avoid it.

In less than two seconds of thought, facing the point-blank electromagnetic shell, Alex commanded the Heavenly God Mech to activate the radiation-reflective coating on its arms, crossing them inward to block the strike, while the wing thrusters surged forward at maximum speed to rush to the Giant Beast Mech's opposite side.

In fact, for a power-type like the Giant Beast Mech, using external armor to attack is a move that hurts the enemy eight hundred while harming oneself; the recoil from firing the cannon made its whole body shudder in place, and the pilot Steven inside suffered a severe neural shock.

It was just those few seconds of respite that let Alex find an opening; the Heavenly God Mech immediately used the reflective coating to rebound most of the impact back onto the Giant Beast Mech.

A tremendous roar rang out; the banquet hall's ceiling was affected, collapsing halfway to the side, dust filling the air.

The Giant Beast Mech, having failed to activate its defenses in time, took a direct critical hit, suffering massive damage; its left leg's neural link was blown out, it collapsed to its knees, its momentum gone.

Steven screamed in the cockpit, cold sweat dripping, his eyes filled with fear.

No way—if this continues, I'll definitely lose!

He hadn't realized that, after modification, the Giant Beast Mech's rear escape channel for the pilot's safety had been altered into an attack hub.

After another strike from the Heavenly God Mech, the Giant Beast Mech could no longer stand at all.

The cockpit screen went dark, displaying a red exclamation mark, accompanied by a beeping alarm.

Steven's whole body ached unbearably, muscles and bones feeling as if they were being reforged; he bellowed in resentment.

The final blow, the Heavenly God Mech unleashed full power; the Giant Beast Mech was nearly torn apart, the feedback to Steven's pain intensified, he finally pressed the ejection button—only to discover it had failed.

"No… no!"

Steven's face turned ashen, sweat dripping down; he finally regretted agreeing to the mech's modification.

It was the imperial family's fault! It was Yixiduole's fault!

The next second, control authority severed; the Giant Beast Mech crashed to the ground, and Steven was forced to fall from nearly fifty meters up, slamming hard into the banquet hall's broken walls.

The Heavenly God Mech withdrew its final strike, standing silent in place for a few seconds.

On Alex's front screen appeared a line of pale-gold text.

Long time no see, old friend.

He suddenly curved his smile, and a faint tear glimmer appeared in his eyes.

At that moment, countless images of fighting together with it filled his mind.

The control room Main Gate opened, and the Heavenly God Ship lowered him down.

Alex raised his eyes, turned the spatial hub, and stowed the Heavenly God Ship inside.

He ran toward Jin Chen, and the two embraced tightly.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value 10! Accumulated 90!】

The Giant Beast Ship lost!

Imperial Military Department soldiers looked at each other, seemingly also having anticipated their defeat.

"Isidore, my dear cousin, you already have no chance of winning."

Chester walked out from a side path on the other side.
