Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 60 - Spiritual Mechanism

60: Chapter 60 Spiritual Mechanism

60 -60 Spiritual Mechanism

Xiang Shu’s words actually made sense, though they had lost three Iron Heads, they still had nine intact Iron Heads, as well as some Land Soldiers.

If they all worked together, focusing their attacks on this one, the odds of victory were very high, especially since Xiang Shu’s team was quite capable in combat.

“What are we waiting for, focus fire on it!”

Chen Tong was the first to raise his firearm and furiously open fire on the Flame Knight.

The Flame Knight leaped from its position to avoid the barrage, moving with the swiftness of a leopard to circle around and strike at Su Ming and the others.

“Actually trying to get in close, truly seeking death, let’s send it on its way!”

Xiang Shu also raised his Grenade Gun and fired a shot.

He didn’t believe that with so many of them firing, the thing could dodge everything.

The Flame Knight swung its red Metal Blade, slicing the incoming grenade in the air, bursting it with an unmatched momentum as it stormed through the explosion’s flames.

Still, even so, it was hit by the rain of bullets from the others, sparks flying everywhere!

“It’s working, yeah!

Keep it up, kill it!”

Qi Duo shouted excitedly.

At that moment, the spider-like mechanism on the shoulder of the Full-Metal Mecha·Flame Knight, the spherical head, lit up with a red light.

The Iron Heads controlled by Xiang Shu, Qi Duo, and Shi Wu turned red in the eyes, their guns suddenly swinging to aim at Lv Ying and the others who were firing, and they pulled their triggers fiercely!

Swoosh!

A grenade exploded at close range on the Iron Head driven by Lv Ying, and even Su Ming was caught in a hail of bullets.

“Ah, why are you shooting me?”

Lv Ying yelled in confusion.

“I have no idea, it’s out of control!

Stop it!”

Xiang Shu frantically responded as he looked at the red screen of his interface.

Unfortunately, his Iron Head seemed to have no intention of stopping and fired another shot into Lv Ying’s chest.

Boom~

In an instant, Lv Ying’s cockpit was blown up, and he was killed on the spot and eliminated from the battle.

At the same time, another Iron Head beside Lv Ying also suffered, being swept by intense gunfire and falling unwillingly.

“What the hell are you doing!”

Chen Tong cursed as he witnessed the scene.

At that moment, Shi Wu raised his gun and aimed ferociously at Chen Tong, firing away!

Chen Tong’s face turned green as he maneuvered his Mecha to dodge, but he wasn’t able to completely avoid the hits, getting struck by several Blast Bombs.

The entire team was thrown into utter chaos.

Su Ming’s heart sank into the depths, his eyes sweeping over to see that not all Mecha had lost control, only Xiang Shu and his two were affected.

He instantly realized that this group hadn’t turned off their AI systems, no wonder they seemed more proficient than anyone else, even able to lock onto and shoot down snipers instantly.

In fact, the AI system had been a necessary feature on every Mecha for a century, not only for scanning and monitoring the surroundings for alerts but also for combat correction, significantly improving the combat effectiveness of personnel.

But it was in this battle against the Mechanical Clan that the old Federation encountered the Mechanical Clan’s new type of warrior, the Spiritual Mechanism.

The so-called Spiritual Mechanisms did not have a fixed form; they could be any mechanical weapon, their only difference being a special metallic Sparks within them.

They could invade and take control of various intelligent mechanical weaponry through both signals and physical means.

Su Ming immediately called out to Xiang Shu and the others.

“Quick, forcefully shut down the AI system, switch to manual mode!”

…

Xiang Shu and the others hastily turned off their AI systems and switched to manual mode.

At that time, the Flame Knight was already rapidly moving in, toward Xiang Shu and the others who were restarting their systems.

Meanwhile, Su Ming raised his Electromagnetic Gun, targeting the spider-shaped Spiritual Mechanism on the Flame Knight’s shoulder.

However, the Spider Body Spiritual Mechanism realized it was being targeted and immediately jumped off the Flame Knight’s shoulder.

Su Ming fiercely pulled the trigger, shooting an Electromagnetic Light Bullet towards the Spider Body Spiritual Mechanism.

Unfortunately, the Flame Knight decisively abandoned its charge to kill Xiang Shu and the others, swinging its red Metal Blade and cutting through the Electromagnetic Light Bullet.

Sizzle~

The sparks from the electromagnetic light bullets covered the Flame Knight, making its body flicker as it was affected, but it quickly returned to normal.

Before Su Ming could charge up and fire again, the Flame Knight approached at an astonishing speed.

“Damn it!”

Su Ming immediately switched to the Blast Gun, retreating while firing at the Flame Knight.

The Flame Knight suddenly stomped on the ground, leaping into the air, and fell from the sky with an unstoppable chop towards Su Ming.

Su Ming manipulated the Iron Head Mecha to dive to the side; with a roll like a falling donkey, he awkwardly avoided the attack.

Chen Tong saw that Su Ming was in danger and immediately opened fire on the Flame Knight.

Bang bang~

The Flame Knight was hit by several shots but quickly leapt away.

At this moment, Xiang Shu and his team successfully restarted their mecha and regained control, hastily raising their guns and firing violently at the Flame Knight.

Unfortunately, without the help of the AI assist system, their combat ability plummeted.

They had no idea how to calculate recoil, and the muzzles veered off in all directions.

The dense barrage passed by the Flame Knight like an outline, not a single shot hitting.

In fact, Xiang Shu and the others knew they should have turned off the AI assist system, but they couldn’t bear to do so; after all, turning it off would have reverted them to their true forms.

The Flame Knight turned its head towards Xiang Shu and the other two, then charged at them with incredible speed.

“It’s coming at us.”

Qi Duo and Shi Wu retreated in panic.

On the other hand, Xiang Shu clenched his teeth, drew out the Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade, and charged at the incoming Flame Knight with full power.

The two mechas crossed paths.

Crack!

Xiang Shu’s Iron Head Mecha was beheaded in an instant, its round mechanical head flying off, and the massive body fell with a thud.

The Flame Knight then thrust a blade into the chest of Xiang Shu’s mecha.

Crack~

Xiang Shu was immediately eliminated.

“Damn it!

Run!”

Seeing Xiang Shu killed, Qi Duo’s courage shattered, and he turned to shout to Shi Wu.

Shi Wu immediately started running with Qi Duo.

The other two Iron Heads, seeing Shi Wu and the others flee, also turned tail without hesitation.

As for Chen Yu and the other Land Soldiers, they had already run out of sight a long time ago.

In a short time, only Su Ming and Chen Tong remained in the area.

“Shit!

These guys actually fled the battlefield!”

Chen Tong cursed loudly.

“Forget about them, Chen Tong, you need to dodge quickly, the Flame Knight is coming at you.”

Su Ming dashed towards Chen Tong with extreme speed, simultaneously raising the electromagnetic mechanical gun in his hand, and shot an electromagnetic light bullet at the Flame Knight.

The Flame Knight, as if it had eyes on its back, dodged nimbly.

However, this bought Chen Tong some reaction time; he retreated in a hurry, raising his gun and ceaselessly firing.

Unfortunately, this still could not stop the Flame Knight.

It charged towards Chen Tong so fast it was like thunder, swinging a red Alloy Blade and slashing diagonally at him.

Chen Tong grabbed the Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade with his left hand to block!

Clang!

Accompanied by showers of sparks, the entire Iron Head Mecha kept retreating, with sparks flying from its arm joints.

Seeing that Chen Tong was about to falter, Su Ming attacked from the side, swinging the Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade at the Flame Knight.

The Flame Knight decisively abandoned its offensive, leaping back to create distance.

“What do we do now?

Only the two of us are left, we can’t run away.”

Chen Tong asked, gasping for breath.

Su Ming stared intently at the Flame Knight, speaking gravely.

“What else can we do?

Of course, we fight to the end.

Chen Tong, don’t engage it directly; just provide me with long-distance fire support.”
