Chapter 279 (2/2)

What Starlord didn’t see was that it hadn’t only been Thor who caht behind him

Triton had stuck to Thor’s back, attached like some Voltron-esque monstrosity Thetheir rush, and nohere Thor moved, Triton followed

Starlord’s reaction to the pining tactic was fast The mecha’s upper body swept around as it reeled, but Starblade’s positioning was perfect The three bolts of energy were knocked harmlessly aside

But suddenly, it slowed After deflecting the strike it was as though Starlord was suddenly stuck in a bog, ish

Deimos was unperturbed The mechanical wrist of its mecha trembled, and suddenly the Starblade erupted in to countless thousands of shards They burst out in all directions, with enough force to rival Thor’s Hammer

But then soy deflected by Dei from three beams to two One was a peaceful blue, while the other was a deep purple with a coiling bolts of electricity surrounding it

The blue beam expanded and stretched like a bubble, and rose with the impressive explosion of the Starblade As the taves of power met, Deimos’ starburst attack was deflected to the side The purple beam raced forward like a lance It struck the hilt of the Starblade, and then proceeded directly in to the mecha that bore it

Crack! Crash!+ The staggering sound of thunder and lightning deafened the onlookers Starlord was instantly covered in snaking bolts of purple electricity The suit went rigid

In the saht exited from beneath Thor’s arolden vipers, and lashed out at Starlord’s chest plate But Thor wasn’t finished

The sapphire h, and there appeared in its hands a ht followed as Thor brought the weapon crashi+ng down on Starlord’s head

The others who had been defeated – the Knave, Thunderclap, Yu Honghu and Windbreaker – couldn’t help but be struck du

At this level of coht in a pilot’sa strike like this hether or not they could survive it None of them could honestly say that they would

Was this the power of Zeus and Poseidon?

Of course the frightening series of attacks drew exceedingly high energy costs Of course, the odds of a God-ranked e to worry about

Starlord’s chest plate began to gloith a six-pointed star pattern etching itself therein Aup around the assailed mecha

Thor’s descending bloas cast aside by the golden aura, and in the same instant the star pattern on its chest fractured and exploded outward The golden aura ejected further outward, and filled the area with twinkling starlight The gliht a chain It gripped fast to Thor’s weapon and refused to let it move

Booooooomm!

The entire arena was cast in to a glooold and purple joined in a spectacular display of chaotic energy All three re mecha disappeared within it

Mo Xiao, responsible for narrating the scene, gasped audibly “Starlord really is far belohere he was If our living legend had been at his peak, he’d never have been caught in this reactionary situation His reaction times, control and battlefield awareness all are not what they once were He’s still got his knowledge, but is that enough…?”

Before she could finish her thought, a digitized voice called over the simulation

“Star Alliance: Victory”

Little by little, the roiling, angry ball of energy that filled the arena slowly faded When it did, Thor and Triton were still visible

Starlord was still caught in a prison of snaking electric tendrils, so daed that its mechanical innards were visible It’s all-important Starblade was absent

As the combat came to an end, the statistics were revealed on another screen This included e, but was still standing after everything it had endured

The local chat exploded in to vociferous cheers and vitriolic complaints All the while, CAT sales soared
