Controlling a Super Giant War Armor with the human nervous system places a tremendous burden on the pilot, and the neural link alone requires a completely sterile environment.
This is why past pilots were all submerged in bio-pods, unable to leave for their entire lives.
However, the Nanomechanical Cluster offered a perfect solution to this problem.
A direct, external brain-computer interface via the Nanomechanical Cluster was all that was needed to connect the pilot’s nervous system to the Super Giant War Armor. As a failsafe, Shen Feng had recruited over a thousand people for each War Armor. These individuals served as "co-pilots," using their collective nervous systems to share the immense pressure from the signal shock of piloting the machine.
A low-end copy of Jingwei’s program was installed in every Super Giant War Armor. While not a true strong AI, it was more than sufficient for combat assistance.
With the arrival of the electromagnetic storm, which prevented Shen Feng from controlling the other Super Giant War Armors via satellite, this independent control system immediately became crucial!
The violent electromagnetic storm propagated in all directions, and sparks even flashed inside the cockpits of the Super Giant War Armors.
Meanwhile, on the surfaces of the Super Giant War Armors, the Nanomechanical Clusters surged like ocean waves, neutralizing the force of the powerful electromagnetic pulse.
Soon, the strongest wave of the electromagnetic pulse passed. The Super Giant War Armors remained standing, undamaged.
Although the powerful electromagnetic interference had weakened, it was still present. The atmosphere’s ionosphere hummed, turning this entire region of Earth into a high-intensity electromagnetic zone. The satellite communications network, restored only a short while ago, was once again useless.
At the same time, a tsunami-like wave suddenly rose from the sea before them. Roaring, the wave crested at several thousand meters, and behind it, the figures of World Beasts appeared. They were as massive as mountains, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least a hundred of them!
The smallest of the World Beasts were two to three thousand meters tall, while the largest reached a staggering ten thousand meters.
Before the handful of Ten Thousand Meter Level World Beasts, even the assembled Super Giant War Armors looked like children standing before giants!
The surface of each World Beast’s body was covered by an invisible energy membrane. These membranes resonated with one another, collectively generating the powerful electromagnetic pulse.
Clearly, the World Beasts, which had remained hidden until now, had not been idle. They had been consciously creating this powerful electromagnetic pulse environment!
There were no sneak attacks, no complex tactics. Once both sides reached this level of power, the possibility of winning through tactical maneuvering was minuscule.
All that remained were overt displays of power and a direct, head-on confrontation with no holds barred!
Behind the World Beasts was the origin of it all: the Space Wormhole!
Apparently, the World Beasts had sensed humanity’s intentions and were now guarding the Space Wormhole.
Over thirty Super Giant War Armors stood in the sea, surrounded by hundreds of World Beasts emerging in relentless waves. The entire scene looked like Divine Spirits and monsters of the sea preparing for a grueling battle!
For a moment, neither side made a rash move, as if waiting for a signal.
Shen Feng snorted coldly. Piloting the Zero Battle Armor, he raised the Longbow Main Cannon on its back and fired a thunderous blast from the Energy Concentration Cannon. Then, brandishing his Battle Blade, he charged forward!
Behind him, the other War Armors immediately opened fire, while the melee-focused models charged valiantly forward into the horde of beasts.
The World Beasts responded with furious roars, charging forward as they brandished their massive tentacles and sharp limbs!
A series of deafening ROARS echoed as the War Armors and World Beasts crashed violently into one another, beginning a brutal slaughter!
In the blink of an eye, Shen Feng’s Longbow Main Cannon fired dozens of energy blasts, forcing a World Beast back. He then drew the Long Saber from his back. The eight-thousand-meter-long alloy Battle Blade swung upward, slicing clean through the World Beast’s central nervous system. Green blood gushed out, and the beast was instantly and severely wounded.
Immediately after, the Zero Battle Armor’s arms grabbed the World Beast’s body and violently tore it apart along the wound. The Zero Armor’s head suddenly elongated, and a limb made of the Nanomechanical Cluster stabbed into the World Beast’s body and began a rapid assimilation.
He then tossed the World Beast aside as tentacles shot from his back, grabbing another that was approaching from behind. He thrust his blade into the creature’s massive, spiral-toothed maw. The giant alloy Battle Blade instantly melted, and the Nanomechanical Cluster that composed it burrowed into the World Beast’s body.
As if nothing had happened, both World Beasts continued to attack the Zero Armor frantically, showing only slight signs of fatigue.
Shen Feng didn’t get entangled with these two World Beasts, simply bypassing them to charge in another direction.
An Electromagnetic Railgun materialized on the Zero Battle Armor’s shoulder. A white light flashed, and a silver Kinetic Energy Bullet struck a third World Beast in the head. Unfortunately, the shot was slightly off target. It missed the mouth and was deflected by the outer energy layer.
But another white light flashed immediately after, and a second Kinetic Energy Bullet shot straight into the World Beast’s mouth.
The World Beast seemed to falter. It hadn’t felt an explosion or a powerful energy burst, only something like a liquid flowing into its mouth and down its digestive tract.
Then it lunged toward Shen Feng again.
Shen Feng now wielded his alloy Long Saber, tentacles lashing from his back, as the shoulder-mounted kinetic cannon fired continuously. He shot the silvery-white Kinetic Energy Bullets into one World Beast after another. He moved like an elegant dancer in a jungle of monsters; not a single one could get close.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of World Beasts had been struck. Some had their carapaces sliced open by his blade, allowing a shard to burrow inside, while others were shot, the silvery-white Kinetic Energy Bullets penetrating their bodies.
He turned to see the other Super Giant War Armors already locked in a desperate struggle.
Even with the assistance of the intelligent piloting systems and partial Nanomechanical Clusters, they were far from able to contend with the endless stream of arriving World Beasts.
After all, if victory could have been achieved simply by swarming the enemy with Super Giant War Armors, humanity would not have been defeated in its history.
By now, the human Super Giant War Armors had formed a defensive circle. Though their pilots fought fearlessly, and each War Armor had a Fusion Reactor for power and a Nanomechanical Cluster for its shell, they were still showing signs of fatigue.
The number of World Beasts gathering outside the circle was growing, approaching nearly a thousand.
It was as if they were surrounded by a mountain range rising from the sea.
Looking into the distance, one could see even more World Beasts on their way, their approach marked by the surging waves on the horizon.
Among them, a number of them stood towering over the surface of the sea, revealing massive eyes that emitted a cold light. Each one seemed to have reached the Ten Thousand Meter Level.
All the World Beasts on Earth had been drawn here!
It was as if these World Beasts had received some kind of command, or perhaps they had discovered that these dying, struggling insects called humans dared to resist their rule once more. Now, they had all gathered near the Space Wormhole.
’It’s time...’
Shen Feng snorted coldly and shouted an order:
"Dive immediately! Head for the Space Wormhole! Lure all of these World Beasts to it!"
As he spoke, the dozens of "Mad Beast Horns" installed on the exterior of his Zero Armor began to hum in unison, attracting every World Beast present.
The AI-assisted piloting systems in the surrounding Super Giant War Armors received the command and began to dive, submerging into the sea and heading for the impossibly vast Space Wormhole on the ocean floor!
After diving beneath the waves, Shen Feng immediately saw it. Dozens of kilometers ahead, a giant wormhole, nearly a hundred kilometers in diameter, lay silently on the seabed, emitting a faint blue glow.
This Wormhole had grown from a single point of light hundreds of years ago, step by step, to its current size. Perhaps in another few tens of thousands of years, the entire Earth would be swallowed by this Space Wormhole.
What concerned Shen Feng even more was the shadow that blocked most of the Space Wormhole from view.
It seemed to be composed of tentacles, each a thousand meters thick...
