Apocalypse Forecast

Chapter 1304: Chapter 997: Flag-Planting Warriors Never Give Up

Because of the piercing armor weapon, is it reasonable to swing against the mecha?

”Reasonable, my ass!”

Raymond sneered. The scanner already picked up the ripples spreading from beneath Huai Shi’s feet, where there’s no way to fall for his trick: ”Try blocking it again!”

The Halberd spewed flame, howling in propulsion, while the Heavy Ax chopped down, interlocking to block Huai Shi’s escape path.

Two piercing collision sounds rang out instantly.

The ground beneath Huai Shi’s feet cracked layer by layer, abruptly sinking several meters. But simultaneously, the Halberd and Heavy Ax were deflected!

The cost was that his upper garment shattered completely, and skin on his arms was riddled with dense cracks.

The force of the countershock.

But the point is... he really blocked it!

When did this guy’s burst become so fierce? Was he actually able to use brute strength to go head-to-head with the Wheel of Fate? Or is this something else he’s tricked us with?

Raymond suddenly felt a bad premonition, a shadow and nightmare present in every mecha pilot’s heart: Could today be the day he gets his mecha disassembled barehandedly...

A high-pitched shriek suddenly burst forth.

Radar warning.

The smooth curve on the reader instantly skyrocketed, as if towering peaks rose from flat ground. On the display screen, the heavy mace in Huai Shi’s hand quickly enlarged, with the micro-probe unveiling the violent power it contained.

Huai Shi stood bare-chested, stepped forward on the cracked earth, casually swinging the A-Fang back and forth, rotating as if stretching his muscles.

Yet the deafening tide follows his movements, bursting outward in all directions, invisible ripples stirring, twisting the air, eventually forming into a massive storm.

When the storm re-converged, it wrapped around the shaft of A-Fang.

The pitch-black storm, flashing with electric light.

Yu Step forward.

Smash!

Raymond instinctively abandoned the Ax, raising the shield again.

But immediately, he felt a strange weightlessness.

As if, under this sweep, the five-meter, hundreds of tons of armor couldn’t withstand the terrifying impact, briefly leaving the ground, then landing again.

Two meters!

Thunderous roar.

And the Tower Shield he raised again was ripped apart like paper by A-Fang, pulling out a huge hole!

The horrifying impact transmitted through the shield to the arm, causing the armor to twist, the steel arm breaking, shooting out sparks. The low vibration still reverberated in the Wheel of Fate’s armor, even reaching its depths, causing his vision to black out.

He finally understood why Huai Shi came to find him, why he made him wear armor.

Turns out he’s just a target, being used by this bastard to test the piercing effect of a new weapon!

Unlike The Hammer of Sorrow’s pure destructive force, A-Fang’s heavy strike is about penetration and oscillation, much like how knights in the era of cold weapons charged past each other, rendering heavy armor powerless against the shackles’ impact.

Beyond the steel, weak internal organs would rupture and bleed from the vibration.

Huai Shi, purely relying on physical strength, unleashed such a jaw-dropping blow.

The cost was an arm that also fractured and twisted.

Countershock.

He furrowed his brow, his limp right arm swung back straight, flexed, and restored to its original state. Although bone repair needed four or five minutes, it posed no impact at all.

He directly switched A-Fang to his left hand.

Before reaching the Fourth Stage Source Materialization, he could just switch hands, no big deal.

”No, something’s wrong with this thing!”

Raymond keenly sensed something amiss: ”Even you are getting injured from the shock... That impact wasn’t purely your own strength!”

”Indeed, to be precise, it’s more its strength, isn’t it?”

Huai Shi smiled, raising the long mace in his hand again: ”Be careful, a senior’s trust is heavy indeed!”

This is the foundation of Sky Que!

Recast after stripping away the Spirit Coffin of Stone Marrow Pavilion, forming Sky Que’s cornerstone. Even though this unfinished Sky Que can’t yet unfold, its weight itself equates to the Stone Marrow Pavilion!

Including the front courtyard, backyard, side halls, central main building, and even the rear utility room, garden, all internal furniture, displays, arrangements... even including the depth of the foundation, the soil and rocks below!

Only Huai Shi, recognized and trusted completely by Uncle Fang, can ignore this exaggerated weight and wield it freely.

If exerted without reservation, each swing almost equates to the mass impact of an entire Stone Marrow Pavilion!

Huai Shi had just released one-third.

If not for Extreme Intention Symphony’s support to relieve and guide force, Huai Shi would probably explode from just randomly waving.

This is an uncompromisingly weighty piercing armor weapon!

Besides the colossal power figures like Dongxia’s Kua Fu or Rome’s Astra, practically only Uncle Fang remains able to wield this weapon adeptly.

Yet as a young person relying on elders to don armor, surely there’s something off in the mind...

”Come on, let’s start again.”

After catching his breath, Huai Shi raised A-Fang with his left hand again: ”The second half begins!”

”Ha, naive!”

Raymond laughed triumphantly: ”When did you get the illusion a truck driver would melee with you? Now that I’ve figured out your weapon’s abilities, the rest is negligible!”

Deep rumblings continuously exploded, suddenly the heavy armor on Raymond rapidly fell off, the entire mecha instantly slimming down a whole circle, even deserting close-combat weapons, directly, soaring into the sky!

The launch chamber hidden beneath the armor rotated outward.

Instantly, radar locked, full missile launch!

Hundreds of scorching rays turned into rainstorm, soaring, sketching brilliant trajectories in mid-air, interweaving to form unpredictable outlines and attack paths.

Not only conventional rocket propellants, but also source substance shock bombs, extermination curse bombs, as well as countless phantoms to confuse opponents, camouflages, activated flying blades, lasers, and rapid-fire machine cannons, etc...

Including dozens of long-range attacks, this is a flawless 360-degree perspective of a Itano Circus!

The mercilessly unleashed firepower in this moment is enough to engulf most of the city in the flames of destruction.

Truly terrifying!

But...

”Did you just say something particularly clichéd and supportive?”

Huai Shi scratched his head in amazement, standing in place, allowing the destructive flames to descend from the sky.

Then, the sound of tides erupted once again.

The crimson sea surged and swept out from his hands, expanding magnificently, the whale song of the Kunpeng playing from the depths of the ocean, the Sea of Regrets reappeared!

Raymond seemed to have forgotten.

Until now, he hadn’t even used King Xiang’s stigmata ability!

Heavy oceans forming a barrier, covering around Huai Shi, in the blood-red sea, phantoms moved in multitude, countless huge and grim outlines swam amongst them, revealing the true essence of Hell!

And Huai Shi only felt that the sea was indeed large.

It’s a shame not to raise something... but unfortunately, he didn’t have any fish.

Now, the Sea of Regrets without fish rose from the ground, rolling in the air, spreading continuously to all forms, countless whirlpools and undercurrents operated, swallowing, wrapping, and then twisting to grind all radiant flames of destruction into powder.

Scourging the world, intimidating the Four Seas.

It is A-Fang!

Although currently limited by ability, it’s not enough to encompass the entire world, but intimidating a sea can still be achieved!

This is the ability it possesses as a Stigmata Relic, besides King Xiang’s incredible control over liquids, at the same time, Huai Shi can freely manipulate this Sea of Regrets without any consumption of source substance, turning it into an extension of his limbs.

As for the upper limit, it remains as heavy as the Stone Marrow Pavilion!

Now, when Huai Shi waved his hand, heavy seawater converged, compressed to the limit, then shot out towards Raymond on the distant sky dome!

”Water?”

Raymond glanced askance amidst the alarm, looked at the parameters and analysis on the display on both sides—the same property as weak water after source material transformation, possessing the power to absorb source substance, while having amazing destructive force.

On the sky dome, the Wheel of Fate · Gordius suddenly spread its arms, deploying the source shield.

”——A mere high-pressure water knife, it’s nothing!”

Huai Shi sighed.

Adel, promise me, stop being dramatic, okay? Mother is scared.

Before the sigh could spread, a booming roar burst from the far-off sky, the source shield capable of close-range defense against cannon fire instantly collapsed.

Then, the high-pressure water knife drove straight in, tearing and penetrating through the chest cavity of the armor, bursting out!

Until now, the phantom of Kunpeng emerged from the stray vapor and refracted rainbow light, fleeting, yet seemingly enveloped the entire sky dome within its wings.

Then the sound of collapse came from the high-pressure water knife as it thrust out, crumbling inch by inch, boiling and evaporating into thick water vapor!

”What the hell is this?”

The truck driver spat blood, dumbfounded.

”If your Eye of Nightmare had a basic physics education, you wouldn’t be suffering such a loss. I mean, as the deputy captain of the school’s security brigade, can’t you be a little diligent and get some certification?”

Huai Shi shook his head in pity: ”As everyone knows—water is a medium!”

What truly possesses lethality has never been any high-pressure water knife, on the contrary, it is merely the carrier of force.

If the existence of the Sea of Regrets is an extension of Huai Shi’s limbs, then that means wherever its waves reach, is the coverage area of Extreme Intent · Symphony!

When the terrifying weight of Stone Marrow Pavilion achieves arbitrary transfer through water as a medium, Huai Shi can perfectly execute precise strikes across the battlefield range through the coverage of the Sea of Regrets!

”Putting some distance will not help, unless you raise your altitude beyond the stratosphere.”

Huai Shi waved his hand, A-Fang slammed down: ”Again!”

”Impossible!”

Raymond roared in anger, like the furious supporting villains in any mecha animation, burning with blood and fury, crashing down from the sky dome.

Ignoring A-Fang’s impact.

The truck driver shouted: ”I’m going to perish with you!”

Huai Shi shook his head: ”Dream on...”

Bam!

Before the words could be finished, Huai Shi was smashed into a pulp.

Literally a pulp.

No bones left, shattered beyond recovery...

Above the deep crater on the ground, only Raymond’s armor stood with hands on hips, laughing triumphantly to the sky.

Huai Shi was dumbfounded.

In the moment just passed, he clearly completely blew up Raymond’s cockpit, why... An illusion, or could it be?

”Stupid, even mecha knows martial arts, gods can’t block it!”

Raymond whistled, ”Is it really just you? There can’t possibly be anyone who thinks the entire world only has one who knows such cheating tricks, right?”

In Huai Shi’s third-person perspective, the damaged and broken heavy armor was rapidly reborn, as if an unseen maintenance crew was repairing and rejuvenating it at a thousand times speed.

Instantly, it looked brand new.

Inside the cockpit, Raymond lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled.

Smirked crookedly.
