After saying these words, the Federation mecha pilot quietly closed his eyes and began to look back on his life.

At the end of his life, he chose to give the remaining time to his memories.

Abandoned by irresponsible parents next to a garbage bin, discovered by a kind-hearted person and taken to a small-scale orphanage.

He spent an unfortunate yet fulfilling childhood within the orphanage. Then, with the support of the Federation’s welfare policies, he completed his basic education, meeting many classmates during this process—some kind, some malicious…

After finishing his basic education, he was fortunate enough to be admitted to the Federation Military Academy, majoring in mecha maintenance.

After graduating from the military academy with excellent grades, he was assigned to the Federation’s Second Mecha Corps.

With his good martial arts talent, he had a powerful physique and was a natural mecha maintenance technician.

A few years later, due to an unexpected attack suffered by the corps, he was forced to board a just-repaired “Titan-class Mecha”.

Because of his excellent martial arts talent and his understanding of mecha maintenance, he turned the tide in that unexpected attack. Afterwards, he was exceptionally promoted to Captain.

His job was no longer repairing mechas;
he began piloting mechas onto the battlefield.

Fighting against the Empire, against various alien races in the Star Realm, against lawless cults, against superhumans from the Land of the Gods…

A few years later, his military rank had risen from Captain to Colonel.

If nothing unexpected happened, his rank had likely reached its limit here.

But due to his bravery in combat and his exceptional talent, he was held in high regard by the Corps Commander.

Under the arrangement of the commander of the Federation’s Second Mecha Corps, he embarked on a “gilding” tour.

The Corps Commander told him that after completing several of these “gilding” missions, his rank could be promoted to Major General.

Thus, he was sent to the Jadeite Star Domain to protect a member of the Star Domain Council.

This was his first “gilding” mission, and he was very uncomfortable with it.

Hiding underground in the manor every day, always on standby for battle, never able to see the sunlight.

Occasionally, he also had to accept some covert missions assigned to him by Councilor Osman, killing innocent people for the Councilor.

The former Federation elite had now become a “bloody butcher’s knife” for a powerful figure.

So, he began to doubt whether the Corps Commander who had placed such high hopes on him had ulterior motives.

Then, he secretly began to investigate the military’s promotion mechanisms in detail.

Finally, he discovered he had been deceived.

The mission he received was a retirement task;
this kind of mission protecting a councilor was prepared for mecha pilots nearing retirement.

True Federation elites would never receive such a mission.

He contacted his former comrades-in-arms. From their words, he learned that after he left, a newly transferred mecha pilot in his corps had been exceptionally promoted to Major General!!!!

That comrade also implicitly told him that the newly promoted Major General came from a family behind a powerful Federation figure…

He fell silent.

Coincidentally, at this time, he also learned that his protection target, Councilor Osman, had taken a fancy to a piece of land belonging to an orphanage, wanting to build a vacation manor on it…

What truly disappointed him was that everyone in the manor thought this matter was normal…

He hesitated for many days, always feeling he should do something.

He began ignoring Councilor Osman’s orders, hiding underground every day.

After a period of time, he decided he must do something! Just as he was about to notify a lawless cult organization to have Councilor Osman die in a terrorist attack…

A strange superhuman, quite young, arrived at this manor…

That young man came for the orphanage matter.

To his surprise, after being brushed off by the councilor’s secretary, that young man, like a lawless cult member, brazenly attacked the manor.

What an interesting young man, actually choosing to advance his level at such a time…

He boarded the Titan-class Mecha that had accompanied him for years. After symbolically launching an attack from underground, he began quietly observing everything happening in the manor…

He knew what he was doing was wrong, but for some reason, he felt unexpectedly happy inside…

The battle in the manor ended. That strange young man killed everyone in the manor.

That young man discovered him and, after exchanging a few words, launched an attack against him…

He originally didn’t want to kill that young man, but the young man struck first.

The young man’s strange ability was countered by his mecha.

The dark matter quantum coating on the mecha’s outer shell countered that strange ability of the opponent.

This mecha coating, capable of identifying, isolating, and teleporting away attacks, was extremely powerful. That young man was as helpless as the enemies he had encountered before.

He crushed that strange young man, in every sense of the word.

After fighting for less than a minute, upon learning the young man was a God’s Favored One of the Nature Sect, he had intended to let him go.

But then the young man’s advancement was completed.

And then he inexplicably lost…

“Countdown, 1 second remaining. Thank you for your contributions to the Federation.”

The broadcast from the combat analysis system interrupted the mecha pilot’s reminiscence.

He opened his eyes and sighed.

What a failed life this was… he was still too naive…

“Finally, as a combat analysis system, it has been a pleasure working with you… Colonel Jin Novak…”

“You actually… have sentience?!”

Realizing what the combat analysis system had said, Colonel Jin Novak let out one last incredulous question.

Unfortunately, no one could answer his question anymore.

His voice was drowned out by the explosion…

The mecha’s energy core went out of control, erupting with its brilliant light tens of thousands of meters above Jadeite Main City.

BOOM!!!

The light from the explosion illuminated the entire main city of the Jadeite Star Domain.

For a brief moment, the night-time Jadeite Main City was as bright as day.

Loren, above the nameless manor, silently pressed down on his hat, blocking the blinding light coming from high in the sky.

Five seconds later, the daylight faded, and night once again enveloped Jadeite Main City.

Loren silently descended to the ground within the manor. After scanning the manor once with his psychic ability…

The black wings behind him flapped, and he vanished from the spot.

Subsequently, his figure appeared in various places around the manor. He raised that black-and-gold revolver and fired several energy bullets at the ground, blasting out the spatial storage devices buried beneath the surface.

These were all the spatial storage devices worn by the superhumans in the manor.

It was just that because of the battle between Loren and the mecha, the corpses of those superhumans, along with their spatial storage devices, had been buried under the ground.

Now, Loren had dug them out again.

After bending down to pick up these spatial storage devices, Loren was about to leave.

At that moment, a piece of mecha wreckage fell from the sky, landing in front of Loren and creating a small crater on the ground.

He looked at the piece of mecha shell in the crater, which still shimmered with blue flowing light and bore flickering red patterns.

After thinking for a moment, he bent down again, picked up this piece of wreckage, and stored it inside the “Crimson Tear”.

It just happened to fall right in front of him. Perhaps this was a gift from “Fortune”. Keeping it as a memento wasn’t bad either…

After completing all of the above, the black wings behind him flapped once more, and he instantly vanished from the manor.

Loren didn’t even check his gains from tonight before directly leaving the ruins of this manor.

Time was precious. Loren needed to run.

Having killed a councilor and taken out a high-ranking Federation Military mecha pilot.

Loren, who was well-versed in the “Superhuman Administration Regulations”, knew very clearly that he was about to be placed on the Federation’s wanted list.
