Chapter 19: Chapter 16 - Strike to Break the Sky (Third Update)_1
Translator: 549690339
Two mecha soldiers entered the Martian terrain. The gravity of Mars is less than half of Earth's. Despite planetary engineering adjustments, Mars' gravity is only 80% of Earth's. Although this seems easy, mecha soldiers would rather fight on battlefields with slightly higher gravity as operating there is more convenient. Lower gravity, although it reduces bodily stress, increases the difficulty of handling, requiring development of counterintuitive thinking.
And in such a state, heavily-armored mecha require a sufficient level of skill.
Does the Puppet have it...?
When this selection was revealed, the spectators involuntarily panicked. As supporters of the Puppet, they needed to have a strong heart. It was known that Zhuang Zhou had only fought in the virtual mode in the past, and it was only recently that he began participating in the real mode. This was probably his first encounter with the Martian terrain in the real mode.
Even if the Puppet is trained for this environment, actual combat is a whole different thing.
Can they really dare to fight using the Armored Tiger Fighter?
Theoretically, a light mecha would be a better choice.
Stane was speechless, "I don't know whose alt account you are, but if I don't beat you so badly today that your own mother wouldn't recognize you, I'll quit the EMP live stream!"
Stane was truly furious, openly expressing his anger. He needed to save face at all costs.
The Armored Tiger Fighter on the opposite side remained silent, with the Overlord Spear still in hand, maintaining its cool assembly mode.
Stane took a deep breath, focusing his energy. This was the moment to cash in on the hype he'd built.
The Wolf V6 operates most effectively in familiar terrain. It was like a fish in water.
Zoom...
The shoulder of the Wolf Fighter automatically equipped the laser rack, firing shots while initializing...
As the mecha shot out, the buzz of the laser resonated, encircling the Armored Tiger and opening an outlying firepower attack.
Whether in the Martian live broadcast room or the observation area, there were shouts of frustration everywhere. Where is their honor?
Even in this situation, they choose to attack from a distance?
Obviously, in slightly lower gravity, the Wolf's agility has been pushed to the extreme. Stane's operation was really good. Fluent encircling firepower suppressed the heavy Armored Tiger Fighter. He might even be able to find a weak point to exploit.
Although this seemed a bit unsporting, Martians cared about the results, not the process.
The Armored Tiger Fighter carried on without surprise. This was the correct choice. Li Hao piloted his mecha, starting to move within a small range. His Tiger Shield in his left hand was already up. Stane's seemingly nimble encircling attack was easily defended by the Armored Tiger Fighter.
Stane was very patient this time. He didn't plan to solve the problem with lasers, but he could, however, throw off his opponent's rhythm and disrupt his thoughts. The Wolf V6 seemed determined to irritate the Armored Tiger Fighter, continuously doing an about-face and jumping, the buzz of the laser echoing throughout. This rugged terrain, as well as the viscosity of Saturn's sand and gravel surface, could make the opponent uncomfortable.
And when this kind of emotion builds up to a certain extent, a weak point will expose itself.
Stane was like a patient wolf, and it didn't take long for him to discover that the Armored Tiger Fighter's turning movement had slowed down. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for.
The Wolf Fighter suddenly stopped under a heavy control maneuver, the entire fighter drifting strangely. While the shoulder lasers erupted, the wolf's jaw opened, and boom! Three missiles were fired!
The Armored Tiger Fighter could only defend, while the drifting Wolf gracefully rolled, once again rushing towards the Armored Tiger Fighter from behind.
This was the ultimate speed - Wolf Style: Life and Death Dilemma.
The game has been decided!
Boom boom...
The missiles hit the Armored Tiger Fighter, causing an explosion that filled the sky. Under these changed circumstances, the slugginess of the Armored Tiger Fighter was infinitely magnified.
The system announced: Puppet wins!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
...
The Martians had gone mad. What the hell was going on?
A life-and-death battle, this simply doesn't exist!
All of a sudden, a loud bang rang out, and a blast wave dispersed the flames. A huge figure walked out from the flame, holding a big shield in his left hand. On the Overlord's Spear in his right hand...another was strung on.
???????
Forget about the Martians, even the Earthlings were stupefied. The Wolf Style: Life and Death Dilemma was Stane's signature move in the Mecha competition. Either don't let him complete the move, or once it's done, it's at the very least a kill-for-kill.
The Armored Tiger Fighter suddenly swung its long spear, throwing the wrecked Wolf Fighter away. The spear was drawn back in, and the Mecha tilted slightly to take a glance.
Then Stane was kicked out again.
The slow-motion replay had been analyzed at this point.
In a familiar setting, Stane chose the most reliable tactic, utilizing superior speed to hit his opponent. Of course, lasers aren't the Wolf's strong suit, but their harassment value is more than enough. If the opponent's long-range defense isn't up to par, even the Armored Tiger can get toppled. But, to its credit, the Armored Tiger was quite impressive by defending successfully with its large shield in tandem with precise maneuvering.
Then the screen presented an "opportunity" - a shot was not blocked and hit the Armored Tiger's leg, impeding the Mecha's movement.
"Deliberate!" Feynman and Alz exclaimed in unison.
This shot allowed Stane's adrenaline, which had been tightly strung in search of an opportunity, to surge forth, and in the next second, he executed his signature move.
The attack was perfect. The web-like, pinpoint laser fire from the shoulders sealed off escape routes, while the Wolfhead-firing missile mandated the opponent's defense.
"Middling marksmanship, but very practical for a Wolf." Although the number one sniper Alz despised his opponent's roughness, he had to give respect where it was due.
Of course, the highlight was the ground roll combined with the attack, a maneuver that Stane had mastered. He sprang from the side underneath the heavy armored Mecha – an angle most difficult to defend.
How could one defend against that?
There wasn't a single fault in the execution – this was a perfect Wolf Style attack.
Up until this point, the Armored Tiger Fighter had not reacted at all. Run or choose a side – but the Armored Tiger chose neither.
The missile and the Wolf Fighter's attack hit almost simultaneously, and the playback was slowing down.
At that moment, Armored Tiger deployed its large shield to directly intercept the missile, its long spear simultaneously piercing at the Wolf.A deadly blow.
Victory.
Victory?
However, at that moment, the audience in the chat overflowing with accusations. "Fake! There's definitely something fishy! How is it even possible? How can you deliver such a precise and powerful strike while also defending against a missile attack?! It's beyond human capabilities!"
"How would one manage to concentrate with a missile's deadly threat looming?"
"Even if the shield was effective, what about the impact of the missile? How could he have pierced the moving Wolf V6? Where was the recoil?"
Only one scenario would allow this: a virtual mode, essentially play. But this was a real mode!
The number of viewers in the livestream increased by more than a hundred thousand. Were the Earthlings cheating, secretly using virtual mode?
No, that's not possible. This was a high-rank match, cheating just can't happen.
Zhuang Zhou had finally processed the anomaly, his mind full of question marks at the moment victory had been decided.
Title: The Rebirth of the Tiger King—Domination of the World
Only a split-second of dynamic analysis – that last moment.
The Armored Tiger wasn't immobile but instead, used its body to arch towards the incoming missile. Accepting the impact on its shield, the Armored Tiger launched itself forward like an arrow off a bowstring, unleashing its right-armed spear. Excluding the sound of the explosion, there was nothing but the high frequency sound of the spear breaking the sound barrier in his ear. It was as if the spear had disappeared and when it finally came into sight, the Wolf Fighter had been pierced straight through.
Zhuang Zhou's mouth curved into a slight smile. Of course, that was not all, the details were what truly made the god of puppet masters terrifying.
A close-up shot revealed that the spear had not only pierced the armor, but the vibrating shock transmitted through also shattered the Wolf V6 mecha in the instant it went through.
That's why the Wolf Fighter everyone saw was in pieces, while the Armored Tiger seemed to not have moved at all. The pilot, through his terrifying control, had absorbed part of the impact and transferred the rest.
This was the true power of heavily armed Mecha!
Mastering the power, the spear strikes like a dragon, breaking through the heavens with a single blow!
