Chapter 422: Victorious Return

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The boundless red light of flames exploded out in the starry space, illuminating an extremely vast area as it continued to spread outward.

It resembled the explosion of a supernova. Boundless heat erupted forth, engulfing everything, completely turning everything in its radius into dust.

The fire from the mechanical giant’s chest towered up into the sky. The energy core exploded completely. For a time, the most resplendent fireworks could be seen in the surrounding space.

The ions instantly blasted over a billion times in the mechanical giant. They completely caused the mechanical giant’s body to disintegrate and vaporized.

The mechanical giant’s body, which was like a huge mountain, began to collapse like dominos.

At the start, only a few parts collapsed. In the end, a chain reaction was formed as the crumbling grew more intense.

However, things weren’t concluded yet!

The collapsed material fell into the core and became the new nuclear fuel. The explosion continued, as lava bubbles appeared one after the other.

The fireball that was the miniature sun began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, creating a gigantic cavity in the chest of the mechanical giant.

The energy within it lost control. Its thousand eyes burst into flames and ended up completely destroyed.

The malevolent face of the mechanical giant now showed an expression resembling fear. This caused all the humans on and off the battlefield to feel a sense of satisfaction. No matter how it struggled, its body was still collapsing, engulfed by flames.

The stars in the surrounding space temporarily lost their color. Only a fireball that was expanding ceaselessly and radiating boundless heat and light remained. Right ahead, there was a tiny black dot being reflected in the eyes of everyone.

If one took a closer look, they could see that the black dot was a human figure standing in the air. He was directly facing the giant fireball.

However, the seemingly tiny figure in the air was now extremely tall and imposing in the eyes of everyone spectating the battle.

“Is it him? He actually caused the energy core to explode!”

“Incredible!”

“What method did he use?”

…

Countless gazes inside and outside of the Great Wall University stared at Feng Lin. All of them were stunned. For a time, they didn’t know what words could they use to describe what they were seeing now.

Many words flashed past their minds but only a single world remained.

Hero!

That’s right. He is…

A hero!

A weak human body actually managed to destroy the mechanical giant who was dominating everyone. He accomplished a miracle of the weak triumphing over the strong.

Other than stories of heroes in the legend, there was nothing that could be compared to his magnificent feat.

What was a hero?

A hero was someone that appeared to save the situation during a dangerous predicament.

That, was a hero!

Only a hero could step out and bring new hope to those who were feeling despair.

Naturally, the others on the battlefield were also worthy of the title ‘hero’. But at this moment, in the eyes of the crowd, only a single person was a hero in their eyes. That person was none other than that tiny figure facing the nuclear explosion alone.

There was only one, there were no other!

“The mechanical giant is destroyed just like that?”

“We actually succeeded?”

“Is this a dream or is this reality?”

…

As the red light covered the entire starry space, the cultivators on the battlefield were all stunned by Feng Lin’s appearance.

For the safety of the Great Wall University and to protect the star region of humanity, they couldn’t allow the mechanical giant to advance even a step into their territories. They vowed to give their lives up if that could kill it.

But all of them knew this was an extremely difficult and dangerous task.

Even so, they had no choice. They couldn’t retreat and had no way to retreat. They could only give it their all and stake it on a gamble.

Now that this reality that only had a probability of one in countless millions actually happened before their eyes, they all didn’t know how to react and felt a sense of surrealism for a time.

And just as they were in a daze and were unmoving, the flames and light continued to spread. A figure rapidly retreated as his roar echoed in the ears of everyone.

“Leave quickly!” Only then did the people here react.

An explosion of a nuclear energy core. There was no difference between this and the explosion of a small-scaled supernova. The violent energy particles and intense radiation were enough to engulf everything, bringing destruction in its wake. There was no need to mention anything about the effect it would bring to the weak bodies of humans.

In truth, even with the current technology, it was hard to produce super materials that could withstand a nuclear explosion.

The energy radiation scale on the micro-mecha armor was rising at a shocking speed, turning red and emitting shrill sounds of warning.

Go!

Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, everyone retreated in an orderly manner. They didn’t waste time and began to evacuate respectively. The full-loading state of the micro-mecha armor activated, emitting waves of flames and light behind.

Those with special genetic powers all unleashed them, ignoring the consumption to their energy. They wanted nothing more than to flee this place as quickly as possible.

They staked their lives and finally killed this mechanical giant after so much difficulty. If they died from the explosion due to fleeing too slowly, they would truly have died for nothing!

They naturally wanted to flee as fast as they could!

Their earlier complacent feeling was gone completely. Right now, everyone was fleeing frenziedly as though they just saw a ghost.

The mecha armors of everyone emitted trails of sparks resembling shooting stars arcing through the sky as they fled toward the Great Wall University.

If this was considered a victorious return, wasn’t the scene a little too comical?

However, no mocking laughter rang out within the Great Wall University. The gazes of everyone were filled with respect and reverence.

They actually managed to do it!

These cultivators and students achieved the impossible feat of destroying the mechanical giant and had protected the Great Wall University!

Humanity was safe now!

…

Although the scene of everyone fleeing the explosion looked extremely miserable, when they had given it their all to stop the mechanical giants, they all truly looked extremely impressive!

Right now, the hearts of the spectators were all filled with admiration.

Many Marshals stood in the airspace above the university as a feeling of gratification filled their hearts. They laughed loudly. “Open the teleportation light beam and welcome our heroes back!”

The explosion of the energy core caused streams of ions to shoot out madly, wanting to engulf everything.

If this continued, although those people might return successfully, they would be heavily injured. Ordinary medical methods would be useless, and they had to use emergency saving methods.

Although the expenditure of the teleportation light beam was huge, no matter how valuable it was, it couldn’t compare to the value of these heroic warriors who went onto the battlefield to kill their enemies!

“Yes, Marshals!” the A.I. of the Great Wall University instantly replied. Numerous beams of light enveloped everyone as the space around them began to distort.

The figures were seemingly absorbed into the beams of light and vanished from their locations.

When they appeared again, they were already inside the Great Wall University.

“Hero! Hero! Hero!…”

Feng Lin and everyone else opened their eyes. Before they could recover, they already saw countless faces filled with wild joy and admiration rushing toward them.

The cheers of joy rang out again and again. Everyone was completely wild; the sounds of their cheers towered up into the space.

The warriors and students of the earlier defense formation team and attack formation team also appeared. They stood together with Feng Lin and the others, enjoying the cheers of the crowd. Unknowingly, they puffed their chests out as their hearts were stirred with emotions.

At this moment, every one of them felt that staking their lives was worth it. They felt joy and pride from the bottom of their hearts. It was truly glorious for them to have a chance to participate in such a battle when they were so young.

Winning against the strong despite being so much weaker. They, humans with weak physical bodies, actually managed to destroy the vanguard force of the spirit race completely. Most probably, this moment would be one of the most glorious ones of their lives.

And the people surrounding Feng Lin cheered him, but they weren’t shouting the word ‘hero’. They were shouting…

“Supreme hero! Supreme hero! Supreme hero!…”

The cheers continued for a very long time.

As the person involved, Feng Lin had a self-mocking smile on his face. He didn’t feel that he was a supreme hero.

(I’m not Zhi Zunbao, what sort of supreme hero can I be considered to be?)
