The two were already at their positions when Ye Chong finally left the building.

Ye Chong whispered, "Where's my bag?" And Rui Bing pa.s.sed him his bag right away. Ever since Ye Chong had disappeared, Rui Bing had been taking great care of the bag.

The first thing to do would be to take out Han Jia's dimensional keystone. Ye Chong still had Moon King with him but that was not truly his own mech after all. It might be a better model than Han Jia, but Ye Chong felt greater potency with Han Jia.

The two men were standing 50 meters apart. Huang Jiming had Feng Su at his side, while Ye Yin still had Ye Luo right next to him. Ye Luo insisted on staying because he reckoned that person being one major pain to Ye family. Ye Yin was the top pilot of the family, and this man was able to make Ye Yin this agitated, surely the man had something up his sleeves.

"Wait, I remember now...," whispered Rui Bing with a soft cry, "I knew that woman. She's the one who kidnapped me to He Yue!" Rui Bing finally recognized Feng Su. She did not hate Feng Su for the wrongdoing however. If it was not for her, Rui Bing would never meet Ye again. She felt like thanking Feng Su too. Well, it was not like Rui Bing had a bad time entirely with Feng Su. Rui Bing could not help but to smile when she remembered the mischief she had done to Feng Su before.

To be honest, Feng Su also recognized Rui Bing immediately, but she was too busy to have a personal reunion at the moment as she was standing next to this man who was once her idol, being the strongest in He Yue, and now fighting against that cold man at the opposite. She knew the cold man, it was clear, crystal-clear.

The world's biggest collision. Ye Yin versus Huang Jiming, happening soon...

She thought of joining the battle but her mech was still with that indifferent young man who was too busy holding his wife's hand. Technically she would be useless in a fight without her mech. She did improve on her strength recently but that was not enough to face the brawny Ye family. Moreover Ye Chong was there too, his wife was also an obstacle she had to overcome before she could even touch her keystone.

The will to battle burned high in both parties. They could no longer hold onto anything else. Being a Jie expert, the top fighters in the galaxy, the world might be able to limit them even if there were not much things they would truly care, but obviously the free s.p.a.ce zone was called "free" not without a reason.

If Feng Su was fighting, she might have a moment of consideration on the effect of deploying her mech in a primitive zone like the free s.p.a.ce zone. Both Ye Yin and Huang Jiming did not care, however.

Simultaneously both deployed their own mech!

And that was when Ye Chong first witnessed the two mechs of the topmost hierarchy in the field!

Ye Yin's mech stood about 10 meters tall, with a polished surface glossing in complete black that did not feel metallic at all. Its streamlined body looked like "speed" itself with its undersized yet vicious appearance. The elbows and the knees were installed with spikes, while the body and limbs were covered in armors of fitting design. Ye Chong was smart enough to see the trickery behind the design, as those pieces of armor could form a perfect shield when combined. Something seemed off nevertheless. Ye Chong could not identify its weapons. Did he not install one then? No way. Declined Ye Chong his speculation in his mind. Any melee model must have a kind of weapon in spite of its exceptional quality. He must have hidden it somewhere.

Huang Jiming's mech was also beyond his perception. It was a mech in fainting green, of height slightly taller than Ye Yin's mech - about 12 meters approximately, with a body adorned by all sorts of feather engravings that glowed in emerald like the viridescent stars twinkling on one night. Ye Chong speculated that those engravings must have a certain type of contribution in the battle. Unlike the other winged mechs in Xi Feng tribe, this mech had no wings. Instead, it had a bundle of 7 plumes, which extended into the air, fluttering in life. It felt like the tail of the Phoenix. Its short weapons were the two Awlbills, which acted similarly like the beak of a bird that pierced the enemies. For long-ranged weapon... Ye Chong had not found it.

This was Ye Chong's first time of encountering an incomprehensible mech. It was his lucky day probably, for he met two strange mechs at once.

Right when Ye Chong was exclaiming at the design of those mechs, the pendant beeped again...

That was when the third mech showed up in the sky.

The mech had a snow white main body, a pure mechanical design due to its every part being diagonal. It seemed pretty tough with a stern face in which the mechanical eyes beeped rhythmically in blue. The sky blue stripes were the addition to the minimalistic design, which gave it a sense of grace. The two mechanical arms were holding a giant sky blue ray gun.

Even though Ye Chong was known to be an illiterate in ranged weaponry, Mu/Shang's education had bestowed him the sensitive sensibility on ray-based shooters. And no doubt, he could not control his breath the moment he spotted that gun. He did not know the exact model but the weapon just shouted deadly to him. The barrel was much longer than what he normally saw, while there was a complex-looking optic above. It should guarantee at least accuracy. The additional barrel below should serve a different function but Ye Chong did not have a hunch on it. Right on the mech's left arm there rested a plasma shield activator, which clearly was installed for blocking attacks.

Other than the weapon, the mech gave Ye Chong a fairly strong deja vu for some reason. It resembled Mu/Shang somehow... though at most details they were different.

The debut of this uninvited guest was certainly astounding.

"Brahmara!?" shouted both Ye Yin and Huang Jiming together, their faces turned pale instantly. They glanced at each other, then they sprinted towards their own mech respectively.

Brahmara visited the world from above. It did not perform an attack, rather it did a quick dive, all the way to the ground and landed before the little boy.

The mech stood before them, looking solemn and threatening.

The mech placed down its mechanical left hand. The little boy beamed at Ye Chong and Rui Bing, as he lifted his tiny step over the palm, "Sister Bing, Brother Ye, I'm getting onto Brah. I'll be going, if you would excuse me." And there he was lifted to his cabin. The gate opened and he clumsily rolled in, after waving at the two stunned adults.

Brahmara?

Did the two men say Brahmara?

Ye Chong was pretty sure he heard the name. Cold sweats dripped off his chin. Although it came unexpectedly, he finally knew who the third legend was...

"Put on your mech," instructed Rui Bing.

And Ye Chong deployed Han Jia immediately!

The beautiful b.u.t.terfly was reintroduced to the audience. Ironically, the audience turned out to be the legendary pilots in He Yue this time!

Ye Yin, Ye Chong, Huang Jiming got into their respective cabin almost at the same timing.

Whether to join the battle, Rui Bing did not hesitate, as she promptly deployed the Guardian. As long as Ye Chong was in there, nothing should be hesitated.

Han Jia was looking frail in front of the three giants of history, that it might be blown to the other corner of the galaxy upon a group applause from its foes. The mech of Ye family was fearsome, the mech of Xi Feng tribe was refreshing, the mech of Xue Lai clan was st.u.r.dy yet graceful. On this stage, Han Jia was exuding a different kind of beauty, while the Guardian had also a unique charm with its brilliant gold as it sat on Han Jia's shoulders.

Feng Su and Ye Luo? They would be at the spectator's seats this time, since Ye Chong had their mechs. "Are we watching this?" Both of them exchanged glances. And the next second, they were no longer within the sight, as they had scurried for their lives.

You got to be kidding me! These mechs could easily demolish the entire Flying Moon City! And you asked me if I'm staying to watch?

They seriously hoped they had wings so that they could flee in time.

The other guests were absolutely stupefied.

"Wait!" And finally one man regained his senses, "Outsider! They are the outsider!" he screamed, as the key term unfroze the silence.

The head of Yan family stared at these monsters in dismay.

Ye Chong and his foes did not have the leisure to entertain these primitives as they zapped into the sky.

Battle Station!

The armor at the waists of Ye Yin's mech suddenly slid upwards, revealing the cartridge inside, from which 17 pieces of Spikedrops flew out and began revolving about its body like a school of black swimming fishes.

Huang Jiming's glowing engravings shone glaringly out of sudden as the 7 plumes collected, forming a layered stack blooming like flower, as a guard to its weak spots. The concealed chamber had been opened, the mech was ready to fire, as the mech armed itself with the Awlbills.

The gun of Brahmara had performed an a.n.a.lyzed lock-on. At this location, through this angle, the fired rays would hit on anybody in the shortest time possible. The plasma shield had been equipped, as the plasma particles flocked in curvy outline at the edge.

Ye Chong was ready. The 12 tentacles had been disengaged from Han Jia's colorful wings. The daggers had been withdrawn while the wings were fluttering as a kind of warmup.

Rui Bing was all set. The Guardian kneed slightly on Han Jia's shoulder, ready to launch itself at any second.
