A voice from the opponent's side rang out in Robby's mecha. Given Robby's current status, one of USE's Six Dragons, it has been a long time since anyone dared to show off their bravado in his presence. Yet, the voice was unfamiliar, not someone he recognized.
"Looking for death, are you!"
Barked Robby gravely.
The two mecha were clearly communicating, but they were using in-mecha voice communication, incomprehensible to outsiders. The spectators itched to know what was happening as it seemed the conversation was not going well.
The Dragon God Mech slightly bowed, the laser sword slowly lifted parallel, slowly readied stance. It was clear—Mad Lion Robby was angered.
On the other hand, a cloaked dragon mech stood nonchalantly...
Trudge trudge trudge trudge trudge trudge...
The Dragon God Mech made large strides, charging swiftly toward the cloaked dragon mech. With Robby's skills, he could have executed a variation to disrupt the opponent's prediction, but he didn't. Instead, he chose the most straightforward and simplest assault.
Boom...
The laser sword and the titanium blade violently collided, sparks flying. The movements weren't fast, but they were significantly forceful. The Dragon God Mech still managed to remain dominant, and this time, Robby did not give the opponent a chance to breathe. Several attacks clung onto the opponent and instantly implemented the Death God's Triple Strike, using the advantages of the mecha and his physique to suppress the opponent.
The sudden three consecutive strikes noticeably made the cloaked dragon mech slow, the mecha emitting a creaking sound under the pressure. At this moment, the Dragon God Mech, under strong control, roared from the engine, suddenly taking flight. In a surprising move, the Dragon God Mech flipped over on top of the cloaked dragon. Simultaneously, the laser sword was swung down onto the head of the cloaked dragon.
In an instant, all onlookers stopped breathing. This was Robby's ultimate technique that he tried to execute but failed during the Mecha Martial Tournament—the Dragon God Yanfei Flyback—who would've thought it would show up in a casual match.
This was a certain killing ultimate attack, when combined with the Death God's Triple Strike, is the must-kill technique in close-range combat.
Most people wouldn't be able to react to such a devastative attack, even a skilled puppet like the cloaked mechanical dragon attempted to dodge by leaping up.
It's futile!
Boom...
The mecha exploded, the top-ranked pilot's high level of control allowed the killing move to be executed in the blink of an eye.
The number of onlookers on Puppet's live-stream had reached over twenty thousand, but most of them could only sigh. Puppet had pushed Mad Lion Robby to this point in a matchmaking session. That's a first. But in the end, a loss is a loss. The winning streak had ended.
Everyone felt empty inside, and Zhuang Zhou was no exception. He still believed in miracles till the last moment. However, upon witnessing the completed Dragon God Yanfei Flyback, he could only despair. This was the overpowering performance of a mecha, something that could only be achieved by a new model mecha. The most terrifying part about Mad Lion Robby was how he completed a series of actions with a medium mecha that could only be possible with a light one.
It was as perfect as ever.
Is this the power of a top-ranked combat veteran?
The supporters of Mad Lion Robby were cheering. Truthfully, watching the match was nerve-wracking. Thankfully, Mad Lion Robby remained fierce. The loss in the Mecha Martial Tournament seemed to have significantly upped his game. That's a true champion—setbacks would only make him stronger. This is the characteristic of earthlings: when the wind is favorable, they'd swell; against the wind, they'd exhibit incredible potential. This also explains why the NUP always gets trounced after two consecutive wins.
Only a triple win can be called a dynasty, otherwise, it doesn't count.
However, the Martians were a little unsatisfied. Their live-stream room, "Fire Man Commentary," also had a lively crowd of over three hundred thousand viewers. "Stay calm, stay calm. Failure is normal. Such show-offs deserve such fates sooner or later. It's just a pity that it didn't fall into our ROM's hands. With my military experience, real strong…"
System message: Puppet wins.
The explosion cleared, and the blurred figure landing was not the Dragon God Mech—it was the third-generation armored dragon mech!
??????
A countless number of danmu (live comments from the viewers) swarmed the live-stream room. Fire Man was also taken aback for a second, but only for a second, "Oh, there's a twist. Puppet won. It seems I have overestimated the earthlings. After implementing the Death God's Triple Strike, he didn't have enough physical strength left to control Yanfei's flyback. I've mentioned before that axioms require proficiency and control. Otherwise, it's all just fancy moves. Puppet has dodged bullets again. Let's see what happened to the final strike. I dare to assert that there's a problem with Robby's attack."
Meanwhile, the supporters of Puppet, who were watching, could hardly believe their ears and eyes. That similar silhouette was not that of the Dragon God, but the Armored Dragon. Why?
Simultaneously, in the hall of EMP in Tianjing, there were sounds of awe and confusion. Yoyou was among them, dumbfounded. Could this be a win?
Although she wasn't a professional, she had watched quite a few matches seriously. After all, Mad Lion Robby was the core strength of USE, alleged to be a former member of the Solar System's youth team.
The big screen revealed the answer, a one-shot kill replay.
Mad Lion Robby's attack was beyond reproach. Death God's Triple Strike was obviously not strong enough to kill in one stroke but its powerful attack could create enough space for implementation. Robby's Dragon God's Yanfei Flyback was unexpected and his maneuvers were flawless. However, a scenario that left everyone slack-jawed unfolded.
As Robby performed the Yanfei Flyback, the Armored Dragon Mech... wasn't jumping to dodge, but made a counter... Yanfei Flyback?
A faster and more ferocious counter Yanfei Flyback, it was the best possible counterattack. From movement to consciousness, the overwhelmed Mad Lion Robby had no power to resist, he was killed in mid-air, without a hint of defense.
...…
In the VIP holographic viewing area, there was a deathly silence, this was... worth every penny spent.
Immediately following this, cheers, gasps, and applause filled the room. Zhuang Zhou's mouth split open in a grin. He was wrong, he shouldn't have doubted his puppet god. One shouldn't casually conjecture the thoughts of a god.
A swift kill by counter Yanfei Flyback!
God has descended.
At this moment, the EMP Hall of the American Lion Military Academy fell silent. Mad Lion Robby's match was certainly the focus of the academy. In this match, Robby exerted all his strength, but what on earth was that counter Yanfei Flyback?
What's more, it was performed by an Armored Dragon Mech. Does USE have someone with such a skill?
Which military academy?
Puppet?
What ID is this?
Everyone searched their minds but could not find a skilled player capable of such actions. Let alone USE, even in other federations, such manouveres, such momentum, how could he be an unknown?
This battle made the Puppet a sensation in USE. Winning once did not mean much, but winning against Robby using the Armored Dragon Mech, and performing the counter Yanfei Flyback was a completely different concept.
And the current information… came from the virtual zone?
"Impossible, are you kidding me?"
"These maneuvers, this physical endurance, enduring at least six to seven times the gravity, maybe even more."
"We have a master from the public. Didn't they say our USE had many ancient martial families awakening because of gene power?"
"Are you joking? Even though the mecha is powerful, it's not that mysterious."
"Is it Nangong? Ye Family? Or the Wu Family from Tianjing?"
At this moment, Mad Lion Robby sat in the cockpit deep in thought. He was not pondering about his defeat, but a sentence came to mind: Robby, you haven't improved much in these years.
Despite it seeming like he was leading the attack, the opponent controlled his pace. His opponent let him lead the attack, and was far more skilled than him, suppressing his Yanfei Flyback with his own Yanfei Flyback. This was the most terrifying opponent he had ever faced. The spectators could not see the full picture, only those who experienced it personally would understand that his opponent did not go all out, and he had not even started to enjoy the fight.
There was only one person who fits this description in his life. It was not in a mech weapon competition, but... five years ago, in the youth class of the Solar System Apocalypse.
Until now, that figure was still deeply ingrained in his memory. Back then, the people from the Moon and Mars collaborated to launch a surprise attack. They were all in despair, watching Nangong Yuhang being killed, and the dignity of the Earth people was buried. Until a man appeared and saved the Earth's dignity.
But in the end, the man who saved the entire Earth camp suffered all the consequences of the accident and vanished from the public eye.
It must be him!
Only he could do this!
Robby's heart pounded heavily, and after a long while his breathing evened out. He sent a friend request to the Puppet.
My second brother…
