Chapter 176.2 Battle (3)
Editor: Jodi
Actually, not just the onlookers, even Sheng Heng himself didn’t know how to kill the Zerg Emperor. He only knew that if he didn’t kill the Zerg Emperor at this moment, what awaited the Federation would be the obliteration of the entire civilization. What was his only weapon now? It seemed there was only his mental energy left.
The evolution of the zergs, the value of absorbing nutrients, was measured by mental energy. The Zerg Emperor targeted him because his mental energy level was high, and apart from its robust physique, the Zerg Emperor’s strongest mode of attack was also mental energy.
Yes, it was only mental energy that was left.
As the distance in front of him drew closer and larger, Sheng Heng thought of Yan Hao at the very end.
His father and big brother were watching him at this moment, so they would definitely understand him and they would explain to his mother. It was only Xiao Hao… he had promised him that he would return.
Subconsciously, he dialed Yan Hao’s communication number. He didn’t know if Yan Hao was busy at this moment or if he could receive this last communication, but he still wanted to make the call, at least to let him know, that he had thought of him.
“Senior?” In order not to distract himself, Sheng Heng didn’t turn on the video, so only Yan Hao’s gentle and soft voice filled the cockpit. Yan Hao sounded somewhat surprised, as if happy that Sheng Heng has suddenly called.
“Xiao Hao, I’m going to fight.” Sheng Heng tried his best to make his voice sound more relaxed.
The other end of the communicator suddenly fell silent, but soon Yan Hao’s voice rose hurriedly: “Is it very dangerous?”
Sheng Heng wasn’t new to the battlefield, however he had never called him before going onto the battlefield, so this sudden abnormality, how could Yan Hao, smart as he was, not guess it?
“Yes.”
“You can do it.” Then after saying this, Yan Hao hung up.
Sheng Heng laughed silently, the last bit of hesitation in his heart dissipating, then killing intent filled his eyes as he looked at the Zerg Emperor. He even actively extended his mental energy towards it, not concealing his killing intent.
[You think you can kill me?] The Zerg Emperor’s voice echoed in Sheng Heng’s mind, however this time it was different from the previous times, as Sheng Heng could hear the faint fear in it. This made him even more certain, that this was the best opportunity to kill the Zerg Emperor.
[Come, let’s fight. If you win, you can eat me. I promise you, I won’t detonate my mental energy.] Sheng Heng told it.
[You despicable humans, don’t think I’ll believe you the second time.] The Zerg Emperor would never allow itself to fall for the same trick twice, especially since it could sense Sheng Heng’s reckless killing intent through the mental energy.
Facing Sheng Heng, it wasn’t as if the Zerg Emperor wasn’t without the power to fight, because although it was injured, Sheng Heng’s mental energy wasn’t fully developed yet, and the mech he was piloting was just a prototype of a biological mech, so there was still a chance that it would win. However it was the only remnant of zerg civilization, so it couldn’t allow itself to be at any risk. Hence, it chose to retreat for now, to recuperate.
Sheng Heng flew towards its direction recklessly, but was still a step too late- the wormhole expanded first. And in the moment the wormhole formed, the Zerg Emperor didn’t hesitate as it rushed in.
Escaped?!
Just as everyone was horrified and shocked, the azure blue light also flashed in space and disappeared into the wormhole.
Sheng Heng chased it in?
The wormhole was a tunnel opened by the Zerg Emperor using its mental energy, something the Federation’s current technology and mental energy couldn’t detect or explain, so they didn’t know if Sheng Heng could kill the Zerg Emperor.
“Notify the entire Federation to monitor all spatial fluctuations closely and to report immediately if a wormhole is detected.” Yu Xiu Yuan ordered quickly.
Although Yu Xiu Yuan issued the order to find wormholes, he hoped more than anyone that no more wormholes would appear in the Federation. He looked up at the sky, as if he could see through the atmosphere to the battlefield, to where the wormhole had disappeared, to where the mech debris of his comrades floated around. A deep sourness rose, reddening his eyes.
“Beep beep, beep beep~~”
The sudden sound of a communicator brought Sheng Zhuo back to his senses. He no longer had the strength to answer any call, however seeing that the number was from the War God Legion’s base, he still forced himself to answer.
“Big brother Sheng Zhuo.”
It was Yan Hao’s voice. Sheng Zhuo’s blank gaze trembled slightly, then his mouth opened, however he didn’t know what to say. Yan Hao was calling to ask about Sheng Heng, right? He must have been not able to reach Sheng Heng, which was why he called him instead, but how should he respond?
“I heard that the battle at Planet X-18 has ended, is it true?” If it wasn’t that he knew that the battle was over, he wouldn’t have dared to call the communicator of someone at the front lines casually.
“Yes.”
“Then… what about senior?”
Sheng Zhuo closed his eyes, his lips pressing together, unsure of how to begin.
“Big brother Sheng Zhuo, please tell me. Senior called me just now, I know he went to fight the Zerg Emperor.” Yan Hao’s voice sounded relatively calm, without a hint of crying.
Sheng Zhuo froze, surprised. Under those circumstances, Sheng Heng had still called Yan Hao?
“Sheng Heng….. flew into the wormhole with the Zerg Emperor, the situation is still unclear.” Sheng Zhuo said softly.
“It turns out it’s like this.” Yan Hao obviously breathed a sigh of relief, “Big brother, don’t worry, senior will be fine.”
“Okay.” Sheng Zhuo didn’t know whether Yan Hao was comforting himself or him, however he chose to believe his words, “Let’s wait for him to come back together.”
“Okay.”
Even if Sheng Heng defeats the Zerg Emperor (which he will, lol), I wonder how he plans to get back, since the wormhole is connected to the Zerg Emperor’s mental energy and should therefore cease to exist stably once it’s dead.
On a side note, I was hoping to see the regular soldiers’ reactions when finally being able to pilot mimetic mechs, especially since the soldiers’ need and passion for them were emphasized so much. I was wanting to see how much of a difference they would make in battle, so hopefully it’ll be touched upon later.
Thanks for the chapter! 😀
