From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 217 - 178 Mechanical Angel, Thunder God

Originally, Lu Heng thought that Ze Wei'er's deployment of Mechanical Wings was to deal with the American team outside.

Three minutes later, he realized that what he faced were armed drones that clouded the sky like dark clouds.

Thousands of armed drones hovered in the sky, guarding an Anti-gravity Fighter.

A warning came from the Anti-gravity Fighter, "106th wanted criminal detected, coordinates x16546, y35452. Units within 10 kilometers are instructed to evacuate. The capture operation will officially commence in 30 seconds."

Lu Heng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the spectacular scene in the sky, slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected that at this time, Ze Wei'er's Matrix would receive such high-level attention.

Judging from the models of these thousands of armed drones, they were all military models.

The Anti-gravity Fighter in the middle was even stronger; it was an aerial combat unit equipped with tactical Fusion Bombs.

Who would have thought that to capture a scientist, they would have to mobilize such a degree of armed force?

Ze Wei'er Matrix glanced at the lush plants in the courtyard and lamented, "It's a pity I've cared for these plants for so long."

Lu Heng walked into the courtyard and said, "I can help you look after one."

Ze Wei'er Matrix even pointed to a pot of unknown Blue Leaf Grass in the corner and said, "That one."

Lu Heng walked over and picked up the palm-sized potted plant.

"You should leave. I don't have time to entertain guests today," Ze Wei'er Matrix waved them off.

Lu Heng gestured and, together with Su Muyu, left the courtyard and stopped on a hillside a kilometer away.

It was the Sikes Civilization's Military attempting to capture a scientist, a complicated event. They had to get a clear picture of the situation before intervening rashly.

If judged by the Sikes Civilization as Ze Wei'er's accomplices, they might become wanted by the Sikes's Military.

Lu Heng did not possess Ze Wei'er's cutting-edge technology and wouldn't be able to move freely under pursuit by the Sikes Military.

"The capture procedure countdown begins: 3, 2..." the Anti-gravity Fighter continued to broadcast the countdown.

When it came to the last three seconds,

Ze Wei'er Matrix made the first move, but it wasn't his physical body that acted.

From the basement of the courtyard, a Mechanical Angel flew out.

This Mechanical Angel was slender, covered in black armor, with Mechanical Wings on its back, exuding an ultimate beauty that conformed to human aesthetics.

Seeing this Mechanical Angel appear, Lu Heng's eyebrows raised in recognition—it was Ze Wei'er Matrix's most famous Mechanical Battle Angel, the "Black Feather Spirit."

He didn't expect it to be available at this time already.

No wonder the Sikes's Military couldn't handle him; this Mechanical Angel was absurdly powerful.

The Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel flew into the sky, its eight Mechanical Wings unfurled at the back; the bottom two wings shot out, transforming into two swords that hovered beside it.

Each hand grasping a Mechanical Sword, it flew toward the sky-filled armed drones at the instant the countdown ended, swinging both Mechanical Swords simultaneously, slashing out two arcs of Plasma Sword Light.

These arcs of Plasma Sword Light, over a hundred meters long, sliced through any armed drone in their path, cutting them neatly in half.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The battle ignited instantly.

As the Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel charged through the drone swarm, the sky lit up with sparks as if fireworks were going off.

When the majority of the drone swarm had been slashed apart, the remaining drones finally began to retaliate, firing laser weapons, missiles, and Kinetic Energy Weapons at the Mechanical Angel.

With an array of combative heat weapons, the sky seemed ablaze with light.

A barrier unfolded in front of the Black Feather Spirit to block the laser weapon attacks. Then it altered its trajectory and activated high-speed mode, zipping through the sky.

Miniature Missiles locked onto its position, their ion propellant flames chasing from behind.

The Black Feather Spirit darted among the drones, with Miniature Missiles colliding into the drones and bursting into booming explosions.

Ten seconds into the fight, the thousands of drones were left in tatters.

During this, the Black Feather Spirit's outer armor took several hits, and the armor's shell and Mechanical Wings suffered various degrees of damage.

However, after sustaining damage, her metallic shell began to self-repair at a visibly rapid rate, her metal seemingly alive.

Lu Heng saw this and raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

This Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel seemed to differ slightly from the one he had encountered in his previous life.

After all, Mechanical Angels would surely continually update their modules with the progress of technology, so differences were to be expected.

However, he didn't recall this Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel having such a metal healing ability.

Was this a new ability, or had the Black Feather Spirit he saw in his past life simply never displayed it?

In just over ten seconds of combat, most of the drones had plummeted from the sky.

The Anti-gravity Fighter fired high-energy lasers, continuously shooting at the Black Feather Spirit.

The Black Feather Spirit boosted its defense Shield and charged at the Anti-gravity Fighter. With twin swords out, it slashed plasma arcs, cutting a massive gash in the fighter's belly.

Due to the Anti-gravity Fighter's potent lasers, it pierced the Black Feather Spirit's Shield, melting the outer armor out of shape.

Nonetheless, the Black Feather Spirit's remarkable self-healing metal ability once again became evident as its damaged outer armor began to quickly regenerate.

Meanwhile, the Anti-gravity Fighter was teetering on the verge of collapse, changing direction to retreat, while sending out a distress signal.

...

Meanwhile, at the edge of the battlefield.

On top of a tall building, five members of the American team stood on the rooftop, watching the battle with a mocking expression.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, they showed no intention of joining in.

Until the anti-gravity fighter issued a distress signal.

Alex Austin's visa bracelet on his wrist popped up a holographic screen, displaying the mission.

A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth as he said, "It's our turn now."

With that, he leapt into the air, his body covered in a layer of exoskeleton armor, shield in his left hand and hammer in his right, like a cannonball shot toward the Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel.

The Black Feather Spirit registered the new target and clashed with it, slicing out plasma sword light.

Alex Austin raised his Star Shield, blocking the plasma sword light.

The ripples emanating from the Star Shield dispersed all of the plasma sword light.

Both parties' sprinting speeds were extremely fast, and they collided with each other in the blink of an eye.

Alex Austin slammed into the Mechanical Angel with his Star Shield and then swung the Thunder Hammer down with a crushing blow.

Boom!

A surge of frenzied energy burst from the Thunder Hammer, sending the Black Feather Spirit flying backward in a straight line, crashing into the ground at an angle, and punching through a wall with a "bang."

Seeing this scene.

Lin Zeyu's eyes widened in astonishment, "Is this guy really that fierce?"

Lu Heng had already recognized that this Alex Austin was a future peak Superpower User from America, known as "Thunder God Austin."

The first time he encountered him, Lu Heng wasn't sure of his current strength.

Now he could see.

At this point in time, he was already wielding two A-level weapons, deservedly backed by the All-Knowing Eye's 33rd-level family of the ASE.

Moreover, with the backing of the American military, one could imagine how strong his combat power was.

In fact, those who were summoned to the Abyss Battlefield this time had all been part of the Second Transition Source Material struggle and were very strong in combat.

The American team led by Alex Austin was clearly not a makeshift assembly but a bona fide team bound by a solid contract.

Seeing this level of combat power, Lu Heng was not surprised.

After being knocked down, the Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel got back up, but its movements were quite unnatural, its metallic outer shell fractured in many places and undergoing repairs.

After knocking down the Black Feather Spirit with one move, Alex Austin turned and charged towards the Xavier Matrix.

The Xavier Matrix raised its hand to shoot a high-energy laser, but even as the laser scorched the A-level Star Shield to a red-hot state, it still couldn't break through.

Braving the laser, Alex Austin charged forward and swung the Thunder Hammer, smashing it straight down on Xavier Matrix's head.

Boom!

Just as the Thunder Hammer was about to crush the Xavier Matrix, the Black Feather Spirit rushed up, taking the blow in his stead.

With a scream of agony, the Black Feather Spirit was struck by the Thunder Hammer and flew out straight, three of its mechanical wings broken off, and it crashed to the ground, creating a crater.

"That's way too fierce!" Lin Zeyu's eyes were filled with astonishment.

He had only seen this level of combat power in two people—one was Lu Heng, and the other was this Alex Austin.

The crater made by the Black Feather Spirit was just a hundred meters away from where Lu Heng and his companions stood.

The Black Feather Spirit lay in the pit, its metallic outer shell even more severely fractured but apparently still operational, struggling and attempting to repair its shell.

"Do we join the fight?" Su Muyu was unsure about whether to step in and help.

And even less certain about which side to assist.

Because initially, they sought out Xavier Matrix to investigate whether he was related to the Gaseous Street case.

Based on the current situation, it was very possible that Xavier Matrix would be captured by the Sikes Civilization officials.

Lu Heng jumped down the hill, walked over to the Black Feather Spirit, and squatted down to check on the condition of the Mechanical Angel.

Just then.

The Black Feather Spirit suddenly spoke, "Brother Lu, help me..."

Hearing this voice, Lu Heng's eyes shot open, and without hesitation, he drew his sword and charged towards Alex Austin to take on the battle in place of Xavier Matrix.

Boom! Clang!

The first fierce collision sent them both retreating ten meters.

Alex Austin cursed, "You dare to stop me? Do you know the consequences?"

Lu Heng stood tall, Aurora Blade in hand, and said, "Mr. Xavier, I might not be able to take care of that pot of Blue Leaf Grass for you. However, you can take care of it yourself."

Xavier Matrix, with its mechanical thinking, took only 0.01 seconds to calculate the results and immediately turned to flee, taking two robots with him.

The severely damaged Black Feather Spirit Mechanical Angel also retreated along with them.

In the end, only Lu Heng and his two companions were left, facing off against the five members of the American team.
