Tempest of the Stellar War

Chapter 916: Outburst

Translator: Abyssruler, AtlasStudios Editor: Lucas, AtlasStudios

Hum...

The runic mecha took flight. Wang Zheng was very good at using the Atlantean mechas. This also meant that his mental energy was strong enough.

Mental energy and Ability X seemed to be one and the same, but in truth, humanity was good at Ability X, but not so much in the finer details of mental energy control. Similarly, the Atlanteans were better at the fine control of mental energy, producing strength through their runes, but never involved themselves with Ability X. Each had its own strengths and weaknesses. Wang Zheng was a prodigy. In his usage, he could compartmentalize mental energy and Ability X. Such a phenomenon existed among humans, but was extremely rare. Simply being able to use both powers was in itself already a rarity.

That was why this model of runic mecha could be said to have been made only for Wang Zheng’s body. It gave ample consideration to his abilities, with enough depth for him to bring forth his potential.

The runic mecha took flight soundlessly and lightly. This was indeed in the style of Atlantis. Wang Zheng let the mecha hover in mid-air, and then landed, and then floated again. He worked through some basic movements, at times lightly, and at times violently. He needed to know the explosiveness and torque. Numbers were just numbers. A pilot had to personally experience it to know where the limit was.

This feeling was indescribable!

Hum...

Red flames flowed through the runes like blood. The mecha suddenly blazed with fire, and then the fire was extinguished in an instant. A layer of frost shielded the mecha’s surface, but this ice energy seemed alive. In the next instant, a gust of wind dispersed the ice.

Shing..

From the shoulder, a shoulder-guard box sprung open, and began to rotate at high speed.

Zhang Shan spluttered. Wasn’t this Golden Wheel Battle King’s weapon???

This golden wheel... the black wheel was a size smaller, and also inscribed with runes.

“Wang Zheng, we considered the use of the Golden Wheel Battle King, which is why we added this latest runic wheel. But you have to confirm its effectiveness.” Butcher smiled.

Anyone who had seen Wang Zheng use the Golden Wheel Battle King would be captivated immediately. Butcher dearly wanted to know how far Wang Zheng could take it, if the mecha body’s mobility was higher, and the attack power stronger.

And after the runes had stimulated it, the Ability X’s effectiveness was multiplied. It was no longer just a trick of vision, but could preserve the effects of Ability X to the highest degree.

“Equipped with two beam sabers, energy charged. These are the newest in the Milky Way. They’re still in beta.” Butcher said.

Wang Zheng looked at the two beam sabers in his hands. The balance, the feel, he was drunk on the feeling.

By now, Zhang Shan was already rendered speechless. He exchanged looks with Lie Xin. Even people as calm as them were beginning to grow intensely jealous. This was indeed a provocation that no pilot could resist.

Wang Zheng closed his eyes, and the power filled his body. A strong wave of battle lust rose uncontrollably.

“Old Butcher, can I fight right now?” Wang Zheng asked.

Butcher was taken aback. “Don’t you need to familiarize yourself?”

Youths were too excitable. Even he thought this was a rare masterpiece, let alone Wang Zheng.

“It’s alright. Battle is the best way to test things.”

“Haha, fine. I’ll tell Beko immediately.”

Very quickly, Beko arrived with Luo Er and Basais in tow. “Wang Zheng, it’s all ready. This is an abyss Zerg, and not the normal type.”

Beko still had his doubts. Abyss varieties were completely different from the usual thing. And this was their first appearance in this world. This boy...

“Haha, it’ll be fine. Wang Zheng is one of our most excellent students. Fighting one is not a problem at all.” Butcher declared. He had the utmost confidence in Wang Zheng’s ability. After all, Wang Zheng had been to the abyss before.

Luo Er and Basais were very excited as well. The robot’s battle power had not been able to bring forth the abyss Zerg’s true ferocity. But Wang Zheng would be a different story. Wang Zheng was unquestionably a representative of Elite Academy X’s highest standard. Paired with a runic mecha, this would be a true test of the abyss Zerg’s abilities.

From the ground rose a cage, with an abyss sickle Zerg quietly awaiting.

“Professor Beko, bring on two more.” Wang Zheng said.

...

Was the lad crazy?

One abyss Zerg’s battle power was already equivalent to an elite squad.

“Keke, student Wang Zheng, don’t be hasty. Just one will be enough to test things.” Beko said.

Butcher could feel the power in Wang Zheng’s voice. “Beko, just one more.”

“You sure?” Beko asked.

Butcher smiled and nodded. If it was any normal mecha it would be a different story. But this was a runic mecha. If the strongest soldier paired with the best mecha could not even defeat two Zerg, then it could not be counted as a success.

Another cage rose. Beko hesitated, but then opened the cage. If any danger arose, he could force a stop.

Attack command given!

Shing...

The two docile Zergs suddenly became berserk. Their claws extended, and rushed towards the runic mecha simultaneously.

In the instant that the Zerg rushed him, Wang Zheng’s battle fire had been lit as well. The runic mecha faced the two approaching Zergs.

ROAR~~

two beam sabers sprouted flames. Shing...

The runic mecha shot by. The two enraged Zergs had stopped, unmoving.

In the next moment, the two Zergs were still not moving, but... they did not seem to be hurt.

BOOM RUMBLE...

The two Zerg hit the floor. Fire began to spurt from the Zerg’ mouths. In the next instant, their stomachs caught fire as well.

Two abyss Zergs had been finished in one move.

Wang Zheng sat in the mecha. He profoundly felt the limits of this attack. It was something that no other mecha could achieve. It was almost one with his own reaction time. In the instant of clashing, his two beam sabers had plunged between the Zerg’ fangs, his Ability X pouring out. There was virtually no delay. This was completely unimaginable with previous mecha. No matter how excellent the operation was, the mecha needed reaction time. But the runic mecha’s quality was different. Its mechanisms were different. To think it could reduce the delay to this extent.

Humanity had done it. It was almost as though the Atlantean runic technology had been completely replicated. But humankind would not simply be satisfied with mimicry. They would improve it!

Stronger!

The first time, Wang Zheng felt hope!

Humanity was truly great. Perhaps they could really triumph over the abyss Zergs!

Always getting stronger – this was humanity!

As a fighter, he would never move backwards. Because if he did, that meant the rest would have nowhere to go.

Beko’s jaw dropped. This... was like seeing a ghost. What kind of monster was this? Although he knew that the runic mecha was a new brand of mecha, but to make mince meat of them, this was too...

“If General Bredt saw this, he might lose his mind.” Beko forced a laugh. This gap was a little too ridiculous.

Although Elite Academy X was where the elites of humanity were pooled to build the core of humanity’s strength, but their reputation was nothing like the reality. Seeing was way better than hearsay.

Wang Zheng came out from the runic mecha. He was still mesmerized in a dreamlike state. He was not just a fighter, but also an engineer. He understood the mecha on a deeper level.

“Wang Zheng, are you alright? How do you feel?” Butcher asked with concern. This mecha was good at everything, but took a big drain out of the pilot.

Seeing Wang Zheng unresponsive, they started to worry. Suddenly, Wang Zheng smiled a brilliant smile. “Butcher, it’s the first time I’ve felt so good. We definitely can conquer the abyss!”

Butcher smiled as well. The effort and sacrifice of countless people were not simply for defense. It was to struggle against life itself. Humanity was born to conquer!

“I’m gunning for it too! If there’s another chance I’ll definitely go for it. I want my own super fighter too!” Zhang Shan bawled. This was too unbalanced. How could such a good mecha exist?

“Wang Zheng, give your mecha a name. I’ll get the engineers to carve it on.”

“Conqueror, let it be called Conqueror!”

Wang Zheng said. The moment he had entered the cockpit, he knew the power of this mecha.

“A good name. Very well, I’ll get the engineers to check the work situation.” Butcher smiled.

Ao Ziwei had come as well, just in time for the last scene. She was gasping in astonishment as well. She had come this time to accomplish a mission as well. The main thing was her unique Ability X. Something so close to an absolute defense was sometimes very useful.

The last IG, Wang Zheng’s performance had left jaws dropping. It could be said that his existence shook up the status quo, although many still thought it was just chaos.
