"Alright, Xiaofeng! Are you trying to counter size with size? I don’t think too big is a good thing, you know. You could suffocate someone. A D-cup is plenty. See, the android template I picked is a D..."
While joking around, Jingwei rapidly increased the transmission power, sending a massive amount of data to the surrounding Super Giant War Armors and activating the combination template within their AI support systems.
The next moment, all the Super Giant War Armors shuddered violently, then began to converge toward the center.
At the same time, three massive meteorites in the vicinity shattered. They disintegrated from the inside out into swarms of Nanomechanical Clusters that hovered in space before rapidly taking the form of three more Super Giant War Armors.
They were the forms of the three missing Super Giant War Armors: Metal Caesar, Heavy Terminator, and Space-Time Knight.
Back in the Water World Apocalypse, the soon-to-be-lost human civilization had considered another use for the Super Giant War Armors right from their inception: combination!
At the time, humanity was encountering larger and larger World Beasts. Many mainstream theories even suggested that World Beasts the size of Earth itself might appear.
Because of this, even the Super Giant War Armors, which were like mountains thousands of meters tall, would be useless.
Therefore, when creating each Super Giant War Armor, the Water World’s Shen Feng and Jingwei No. 2 had run model simulations, ensuring all the mechs had compatible parts, just in case they were ever needed.
As the war evolved, this combination ability was never activated. Besides, the technical problems were too complex, making it difficult to maintain for long periods.
But now, in the Shield UY Star Realm, in the vast expanse of zero-gravity space and with the aid of the Nanomechanical Cluster, it had all become possible!
Jingwei had now taken control of all thirty-three Super Giant War Armors. Their massive frames began to change as their internal structures reconfigured. Golden Mad King’s four arms and two legs formed a fist, the Liberator Armor’s weapons platform became the right shoulder, Steel Glory formed a foot, and so on.
These incomparably massive Super Giant War Armors continuously transformed, rapidly interlocking to form a brand-new, colossal body.
Soon, a Super Armor over a hundred kilometers tall appeared in space. One could feel its immense power just by looking at it. Only the head remained missing.
Shen Feng, who had been waiting for this moment, smiled slightly and shouted the line he could no longer hold back:
"And I’ll form the head!"
The legs of the Zero Super Giant War Armor slid swiftly into the neck of the Super Armor. Its upper body, assisted by the Nanomechanical Cluster, morphed and became the Super Armor’s head.
In the blink of an eye, the hundred-kilometer-tall Super Armor was complete. Its internal circuits were fully connected, and its operational synchronicity reached two hundred percent, making it a war machine in the truest sense of the word!
"Xiaofeng, what are we calling this thing? Quick, quick, pick a cool name! A Gundam or a Zaku is what a real man pilots!" Jingwei’s excited voice came through, clearly delighted with the gigantic war machine.
Shen Feng, wearing the Sacrificial Helmet, sat in the cockpit. Through the Nanomechanical Cluster spread throughout the entire war machine, he could feel its immense power and was just as excited.
Piloting a super war machine like this was every boy’s dream—and every man’s.
"Voltron, Six Gods Combined Thunder King, Hundred Beasts King Gao Lai’en, Mechanical Fleet Dalerica, Cosmic Emperor Sigma... call it whatever you want. Even Little Gourd King Kong would be fine. What matters is its power."
As Shen Feng spoke, the Super Armor shot out a hand and grabbed a World Beast that had just lunged at it. With a flex of its hands, it tore the ten-thousand-meter-tall World Beast to shreds!
The Ten Thousand Meter Level World Beasts, which had seemed so formidable, were now like dolls before the Super Armor, posing no threat at all!
Immediately after, the Super Armor’s shoulders fired a volley of Electromagnetic Kinetic Energy Bullets, blasting into the bodies of any World Beasts that dared to approach.
The beams of the Energy Concentration Cannon flashed, each shot directly shattering a World Beast’s eye and sending them tumbling and wailing silently in the void of space.
In an instant, the once-frenzied horde of World Beasts was being thrashed so badly by Shen Feng’s Super Armor that they were utterly routed. They had no power to fight back; it was like beating up preschoolers in a kindergarten.
The Beast Ancestor, having just emerged from the Wormhole, finally made its move!
The Beast Ancestor’s body, like a blooming flower of tentacles, suddenly writhed. A massive amount of propellant gas erupted from its rear as it opened its great maw to swallow Shen Feng whole!
A light flashed within its maw, and a ball of light tens of kilometers in diameter shot out, hurtling toward Shen Feng!
"Xiaofeng, watch out! That’s a macro-electron!" Jingwei’s voice came again, now much more solemn.
Shen Feng immediately had the Super Armor fire several Energy Beams from its Energy Concentration Cannons, instantly annihilating the macro-electron in space.
Immediately after, gigantic tentacles materialized in the space around them, closing in from behind the Super Armor to envelop Shen Feng!
The macro-electron attack was just a feint. The Beast Ancestor’s true goal was to use its tentacles to form an encirclement thousands of meters wide and trap Shen Feng inside!
Although Shen Feng’s combined War Armor was in the hundred-kilometer class, comparable to a small asteroid, it was still at an absolute disadvantage in size against the three-thousand-kilometer-long Beast Ancestor. The thrusters on its back instantly spewed a blinding exhaust flare, propelling the Super Armor to the side.
Vicious electromagnetic interference flared up again, and thick arcs of electricity crackled across the cage-like tentacles.
The Beast Ancestor’s great mouth opened, and hundreds upon thousands of World Beasts swam out, lunging at Shen Feng’s Super Armor!
The scene reminded Shen Feng of the final level of Contra, a game he played as a child. He gave a cold snort. The Super Armor’s entire body began to emit a searing white light, and then endless Kinetic Energy Bullets and Energy Beams radiated out in all directions!
The World Beasts only saw a flash of light before they were blasted away, wailing endlessly in the soundless vacuum of space.
At the same time, a web of metallic filaments formed from the Nanomechanical Cluster danced around the Super Armor. It instantly sliced through one of the Beast Ancestor’s tentacles, allowing the mech to break free from the tentacle cage and head toward a nearby Meteorite Belt.
The Beast Ancestor again spat out hundreds of macro-electron spheres at Shen Feng while leading tens of thousands of World Beasts in pursuit.
This was the first time it had ever encountered a combined human Super Armor. The machine triggered an instinctual sense of immense danger; it had to be destroyed!
Shen Feng piloted the Super Armor, dodging and weaving through the Meteorite Belt. Tentacles formed from the Nanomechanical Cluster danced around its body, lashing out at the huge meteorites to blast open a path forward.
Behind him, the Beast Ancestor’s enormous body moved through the Meteorite Belt as if it were empty space, simply ramming aside meteorites that had been floating there for who knows how many millennia as it charged after Shen Feng.
From the rear of the Super Armor, a constant stream of Kinetic Energy Bullets and shells fired out, striking the bodies of the pursuing World Beasts. While not fatal, the impacts sent them tumbling and wailing in pain.
The Meteorite Belt was vast. Soon, the chase had led them deep into its heart.
Suddenly, the space around them cleared, revealing an area with very few meteorites, as if it were a natural clearing.
But then Shen Feng noticed some debris floating in the void. It looked like human-made metal fragments.
Many of the surrounding meteorites bore traces of high-temperature melting, as if they had been hit by some kind of explosion.
"Ahead! Right ahead! My Shen Feng is right ahead!" The voice of Jingwei No. 2 suddenly rang out, tinged with the sound of sobbing.
Shen Feng immediately pushed the Super Armor to full speed.
Not far ahead, impaled on a scorched black meteorite, stood a Super Giant War Armor.
The armor was pierced by a sharp Stone Spear, pinning it upright on the meteorite.
It was the Zero Armor!
The place where the Water World’s Shen Feng had fallen!
In the footage they had obtained from the Purification Church, the Water World’s Shen Feng had died fighting valiantly in a World Beast nest. He had fallen just like this, in a meteorite belt.
It was all true!
And not far from this meteorite, there seemed to be a man-made structure floating in space.
At the same time, huge shadows emerged from behind the surrounding meteorites. World Beasts were crawling into view.
Then, the surrounding light dimmed as if something was blocking the light from the Shield UY Red Supergiant Star.
The Beast Ancestor had arrived.
