“Cough cough. I think we should just enjoy our drinks.” Xie Xie coughed once but the smile on his face betrayed him. Did he not have even the slightest intention to apologize?

Two bright spotlights beamed down on both sides of the coliseum, each making a circle of light ten meters in diameter on the ground. With a deep clanging sound, both mechas walked out from their respective resting lounges, revealing themselves under the glare of the spotlights.

Huang Zhengyang’s mecha was green-black in color, not just pure black. The mecha had a streamlined design and overlapping armor but did not appear to be cumbersome at all. The entire mecha was about seven meters tall with its upper body slightly bent forward. Its legs were thick and short while its upper body was a little longer. Its back was arched forward ever so subtly and it appeared to be a little hunched.

A gigantic scythe that exceeded its height was slung over its shoulder. The mecha held one side of the handle in its right hand. The blade of the scythe was more than four meters wide and was glimmering coldly.

The cold gleam of the light in the coliseum was refracted by the green-black mecha which exuded a form of ghastly aura to the crowd. From the moment the mecha appeared, its body exuded murderous intent.

There was no doubt that the mecha belonged to the pillar of the empire. The Despair Scythe was a close combat type.

Meanwhile, a similar black mecha had appeared on the other side. This one was about seven meters in height as well. It appeared to have a tall figure that could even be described as agile. It was entirely humanoid in form with slim waist, broad shoulders and thick arms. This mecha was designed to be highly streamlined. It seemed to be black in color but rippled with a faint dark blue under the bright lights.

Its unique hue was a result of forging the mecha with a special type of metal. The color was known as cavansite blue and it would reveal a sapphire-like gloss only under sunlight. If it was seen at night, it would appear to be just a plain black mecha.

Judging by appearance, it looked like this the mecha was what most people would call beautiful. Even so, the black mecha on the opposite side had already left a profound impression on the minds of the Star Luo Empire’s people given its truly impressive combat record.

Before obtaining a divine mecha, Huang Zhengyang had always used this mecha, which was how he had earned the title ‘the Despair Scythe’. He had piloted this mecha longer than any other and he was still using it frequently. His relationship with the mecha could be described as one of flesh and blood.

Tang Wulin’s mecha’s weapon was a spear and the spear had also appeared to have the characteristics of cavansite blue. Other than that, he had not equipped himself with any other weapons. He was not carrying the heavy ion beam that Dai Yueyan had imagined.

It was a close combat mecha against another close combat mecha. There was no doubt that this would be a fiery duel between the two. The first round of the Battle of Five Gods felt like it was about to burst forth with violent sparks.

The beams of light shining upon the two mechas were extinguished as they both walked toward the center of the arena.

Tang Wulin’s mecha, dubbed ‘the Blue Emperor’, strode forward with great strides and arrived at his designated waiting area. Meanwhile, he saw that his opponent, the pillar of the empire Huang Zhengyang, was also guiding his mecha at a similar pace. It was only that his mecha’s gait appeared to be rather peculiar. The mecha made a squatting posture with every step it took.

This simple detail shocked Tang Wulin. The opponent’s action could possibly result in an outburst at any moment as it marched forward. The mecha truly deserved its reputation of being the most formidable powerhouse chosen by the Star Luo Empire!

Tang Wulin’s mecha had been completed during the journey to the Dou Spirit Empire. He had personally forged all the metals used for the mecha, and it was made by the Tang Sect’s group of rank-9 mecha builders.

The entire mecha was made according to his requirements. The proportions of the mecha’s body were customized to fit Tang Wulin’s figure as he wanted it to be a larger version of his battle armor.

“If both contestants are already prepared for the battle, please raise the weapons in your hands,” the host’s voice said.

Tang Wulin raised the spear in his hand while, on the opposite side, Huang Zhengyang raised the giant scythe supported on his shoulder.

“The Battle of Five Gods, first round, the battle of mechas, begins!”

Following the host’s cry, the battle between the two powerhouses had finally begun.

The pillar of the empire Huang Zhengyang had named his mecha ‘the Despair Reaper’. After he got his divine mecha, he had received offers to purchase his Despair Reaper for astronomical amounts numerous times, but he had rejected all of them.

For him, the mecha felt like his own flesh and blood for a very long time.

Following the announcement, the Despair Reaper slid forward as if it were wearing a pair of ice skates. With its feet placed on the ground, it dashed toward Tang Wulin’s Blue Emperor in a split second.

The Blue Emperor’s full name was ‘the Indefinite Blue Emperor’. The word ‘Indefinite’ was added after Tang Wulin’s parents left. It was used to commemorate the set of divine skills passed down by his birth father to him.

The Indefinite Blue Emperor skated sideways to evade at high speed, and the Despair Reaper’s turned to follow it in an instant. At the same time, the Despair Scythe in his hand had already begun waving about.

At that point, the coliseum, which could contain the people of an entire empire, was completely quiet. Everyone’s gaze was fixated upon the competition that was taking place in the arena.

In order to make it easier for the audience to follow every detail of the match, large screens adorned the sides surrounding the coliseum. The screens were displaying the names and statuses of both mechas.

The battle had just begun so both mechas were one hundred percent fully functional. Their structural integrity would change as the mechas sustained damaged during the battle. As a result, this would give the general public some understanding of the disparity between both sides in the battle.

Was he going to launch an attack now? Tang Wulin immediately felt a wisp of confusion as he watched Huang Zhengyang waving the scythe in his hand. At that point, there was still quite a distance between them, so the opponent’s Despair Scythe could not possibly hit Tang Wulin.

Even though Tang Wulin was thinking about this, he dared not slow down even for a moment. This was because he believed that a mecha master of this rank would not possibly do something at random and every action of his would certainly have its own purpose.

That was, indeed, the case. A faint sparkle rippled out from the Despair Scythe soundlessly. The sparkle flew at high-speed and caught up to Tang Wulin’s Indefinite Blue Emperor almost immediately.

Tang Wulin did not hesitate before the Indefinite Blue Emperor did the Ghost Perplexing Track on the same spot under Tang Wulin’s high-speed operation. During that very moment, the Indefinite Blue Emperor seemed to have gone weightless before the audience’s eyes, and it had even cast a series of residual shadows in the air.

What sort of speed was capable of creating such a transformation, huh?!

The scene left the crowd feeling bewildered.

Dai Yueyan looked at Tang Wulin in astonishment. He had always known that Tang Wulin was very powerful but only as a soul master and battle armor master. He had never known that Tang Wulin could be so exceptional in his mecha operating skills too.

Mecha operation and soul master battles were considered two completely separate matters. Was this person here still human? How could he possibly still have the time and effort to train his mecha operating skills?!

The sparkle covered an extremely large surface area as it was emitted from the broad scythe. Even though the Indefinite Blue Emperor made an attempt to dodge by exercising the Ghost Perplexing Track in such marvelous manner, the sparkle acted extremely peculiar too. Tang Wulin managed to dodge, but the sparkle seemed to have frozen as it paused in mid-air. Tang Wulin watched as the Despair Scythe was waved about once again on the opposite side and another tiny sparkle was illuminated. The misty sparkle floated in Tang Wulin’s direction while the faint glow carried an intriguing texture.

It felt wrong as the opponent was definitely not launching an ordinary attack.

At the same time, the Despair Scythe that was undergoing a transformation as well. The tip of the Despair Scythe suddenly shot forward. One could see that the back of the scythe’s blade was linked to the handle with a metal chain.

The attack was launched in an extremely swift manner. The gigantic scythe’s blade had almost reached Tang Wulin’s face in a split second, while the second sparkle emitted from the scythe circled around on the other side of the first sparkle. In addition to the first sparkle, Tang Wulin’s escape routes were cut off, so his Indefinite Blue Emperor had nowhere to go but toward the scythe’s blade.

How did he launch an attack of this extent?

Tang Wulin made the judgment in his mind rapidly. This was because both he and his opponent did not have much knowledge of one another’s performance before today’s match. Thus, they could only experience everything during the actual battle.

The Indefinite Blue Emperor stopped abruptly. Tang Wulin did not attempt to dodge the sparkle anymore, but he thrust the Blue Emperor Spear in his hand forth at lightning speed. The strike was akin to cold electricity, like a stream of dark blue lightning that came into contact with the blade of the Despair Scythe extremely precisely. Moreover, the location that was chosen was on the center of gravity of the Despair Scythe’s blade.

“Ding!” A crisp sound rang out. The Despair Scythe’s blade paused but soon after, the blade made a splendid turn. It cut out a stream of cold arc during the illusionary transformation and arrived behind the Indefinite Blue Emperor in a split second.
