Chapter 899 - Divine Punishment

The official countdown started. When the countdown ended, a small explosion was heard and [Belief] was ejected out of the base.

Outside, the mecha operators from Hailiya were frustrated after hitting the protective shield of Base 013 for so long. Hence, when the mecha operators in front saw a mecha being ejected out of the base, they shouted in excitement and immediately changed the direction of their beam guns.

They felt that this mecha was sent out to be killed. Thus, they didn’t mind destroying this mecha in an instant to break the hope and courage of the people in Base 013.

Numerous beams shot towards [Belief]. The soldiers in Base 013 knew that a god-class mecha was invincible on the battlefield but when they saw this scene, they still felt worried. They were afraid that Ling Lan was unable to resist this round of attack.

“Activate Divine Shield!” Ling Lan bore with the pain from deep within her soul and decisively ordered [Belief] to activate its strongest defensive system, Divine Shield.

After Ling Lan shouted, [Belief] got swallowed by all the beams coming towards it.

“Ah!” The JMCs who were watching the battle outside covered their eyes in fright when they saw this scene. They didn’t dare to see the result.

“Raise your head and open your eyes. Our commanding officer is fighting for us. We can’t be afraid and shrink back in fear. If not, we are unworthy to be his soldiers.”

Han Xuya was already the leader of the JMCs in Base 013. There were tears all over her face but she still opened her eyes wide and stared intently at the screen in front of her. She was afraid that she would miss a crucial moment in the fight. She shouted and ordered her JMCs to not be defeated by what’s happening on the screen.

“That’s right!” Lady Mei stood up firmly. She cried too but she continued looking at the screen. “No matter what the result is, we cannot let our soldiers averse from the sight of our saviour. We’re JMCs who give assistance to our mecha operators.”

Han Xuya and Lady Mei’s words touched the hearts of the JMCs. They all stood up straight and stared at the screen. Even though they were all crying, they were no longer as weak as before.

They might have their own motives for entering the army, whether it was to use this place as a springboard to get a better life or some other intentions. However, now, these thoughts have disappeared. They had all become true soldiers.

The light that blinded everyone finally disappeared. A mecha with colorful lights all around it appeared in everyone’s vision instead. The azure sky seemed enchanting under this lighting.

“It’s the Divine Shield! It’s the Divine Shield System of god-class mechas!” The soldiers in Base 013 started crying again. Today might be the day they cried the most after the day they were born. However, they felt that it was all worth their tears.

Because the Haliyan army couldn’t break the protective shield of Base 013 after so long, Luo Qi led all the mecha operators from God-Killers and came to the battlefield from the back. When he saw the huge mecha with colorful lights all around it, his expression changed. “What’s happening? Why is there a God-class mecha on Planet Haijiao?”

As someone who was highly likely going to become a god-class operator in the future, Luo Qi had a deep understanding of god-class mecha. He knew that the light came from the protective shield of a god-class mecha.

Ling Lan evaded the danger successfully. However, she was in enormous amounts of pain. She was familiar with this pain. This was the kind of pain she had experienced in her past life for over 20 years, but she went through the hellish training Number Five gave her so she managed to keep herself conscious. If it wasn’t for her past experiences, she might have fainted by now. Ling Lan opened her eyes wide and shouted, “Activate Divine Punishment!”

“Request accepted. Divine Punishment activated.” [Belief] cooperated with Ling Lan’s spiritual power and activated Divine Punishment. Unfortunately, Ling Lan was not Ling Xiao. The strength of her spiritual power and body were different. Hence, she was unable to activate Divine Punishment immediately.

Behind [belief], a huge wing suddenly appeared under a flash of bright light. Another wind appeared after a while. Within a few seconds, six wings spread out behind [Belief] like a fan. Ling Lan was unable to open all the 12 wings of Divine Punishment. The backlash from the six wings had already exceeded her endurance level. Her skin cracked and blood seeped out of her skin, staining her protective vest as it continues to slowly spread through the cockpit.

The maintenance system of the cockpit got activated automatically. The blood that dripped onto the cockpit floor was cleared. To ensure that the mecha operator’s operation wouldn’t get affected, the cockpit would automatically clear all these unnecessary things.

The six wings started congregating energy. The wings got brighter and brighter. Luo Qi saw this and turned agitatedly. He hurriedly shouted, “Move away! That is a god-class mecha!”

‘God-class mecha?’ All the mecha operators from Hailiya heard what Luo Qi said. They looked at the mecha which had colorful lights all around it. The six wings behind the mecha made it looked like a god-class mecha.

Some mecha operators reacted quickly and immediately retreated when they heard Luo Qi’s voice. Some confused mecha operators still remained in their position in a daze. They didn’t believe that a god-class mecha would appear on a small planet such as Haijiao. If a God-class operator broke the Human Agreement and went out of their country, the other countries would have chased after him. This was an agreement that could never be broken.

The energy in the six wings reached its maximum. Ling Lan controlled [Belief] and aimed the six wings at six different directions.

“Dodge!” Luo Qi noticed that he was within the range of the god-class mecha too. He quickly operated his mecha and moved back as quickly as possible. He wanted to retreat out of the mecha’s range.

Ling Lan gritted her teeth. She bore with the excruciating pain in her head and pressed the fire button. Six powerful light beams shot towards the Hailiya army. The entire area got lit up by the six beams.

Everyone felt that their vision was impaired for a moment, as the light was too bright. All they could see was white light.

Before the wings shot out the beams, Luo Qi closed his eyes and guided his mecha backward based on his memory.

The six beams shot in six different directions.

Luo Qi’s speed was very fast. He finally moved out of the range of the beams but the residual force from the beams still hurt his mecha.

The left arm and the left leg of his mecha exploded. Luo Qi’s mecha lost its balance and slammed heavily onto the ground.
