Hell's Gate was a place of despair, and the hearts of the Federation's people were equally filled with mixed feelings, as they had witnessed a feast of extreme output that was without parallel.

An explosive hand speed of up to 1.4K was a concept hard to grasp. It was known that the higher the operational hand speed, the more the striking power would exponentially increase. It was as if someone could fire off 14 shots in a second, while you could only manage to return one.

Such suppression was unbearable for anyone, and according to the world's known records, aside from Revenge Shadow Rider who could keep the hand speed of Desert Storm suppressed within the range of 800, the rest of the pilots would be dominated by the storm—putting it another way, it appeared that Revenge Shadow Rider maintained at 1.2K and Desert Storm at 800, but in fact, Revenge Shadow Rider's Overriding control poured out firepower at around 32 shots per second, while the counter-fire from the storm was only about 16.

The remaining 16 shots fired by Revenge Shadow Rider didn't miss. As a coverage fire for spatial control, they completely confined Desert Storm within a set area.

The reason why the storm only managed to return 16 shots was that it targeted the largest threats within its field of vision for counterattacks, unable to allot more attention to offense. But Jerent was different; his firepower control didn't put extra pressure on Desert Storm. Instead, it allowed Desert Storm to maximize its offensive characteristics. The battle was over in a mere three minutes.

It was utterly humiliating for Jerent, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hell's Gate, to be suppressed throughout the match, especially when piloting a superior fighter.

He wasn't much hurt, and as soon as Jerent lost his final ability to resist, Hell's Gate was the first to request a surrender to the hosts.

Jerent, who had come filled with confidence, was left without a temper to speak of after the battle. He rushed into his room and never came out again.

Then there was the once sensational flu that broke out in various countries. Although this flu was highly contagious, it had a low death rate and was only active among ordinary people. Generally, those with better physical conditions or near Rank 3 could ignore the symptoms.

Fortunately, Saudi was the first to react. Kexiao used his privilege to completely isolate the space station from the outside world, allowing exit but not entry. In other words, the Mecha Battle competition only allowed tourists to leave while strictly preventing outsiders from entering. As a result, the order of life within the space station was not disrupted.

Several countries have seen many experts switch to working on the flu virus... As Blade Warrior had explained, solving this virus wasn't really difficult. Through drugs, mild radiation, and chemical reactions, it was possible to change chromosomes and solve the issue at its root. A small number of people might experience genetic mutations, effectively becoming mutants, but considering the vast world population, it was difficult to implement this solution collectively, so it was impractical.

One alternative was to develop antibodies through vaccination. A cruder method was to extract antibodies from the cells of those who had recovered, re-cultivate and reproduce them, but this was not very effective. This was just the first simple hurdle humanity faced.

Blade Warrior had specially segregated a large area of Maraca Freedom Port, considering advanced preparations for future irresistible factors.

Who knows what big events might happen in the future? They might be exciting, but alas, I won't see them. With a hint of regret, Feng Yi stopped pondering the problems humankind might face in the future. These matters would have nothing to do with him. With Eggy's help, he instead spent more time observing the adventurous experiences of Xiu Yi and the others.

From the moment he stepped out of Bull Planet, Xiu Yi had been growing non-stop. In just one month, he had evolved from a near-hunter to Rank 3. The hard work and sweat behind his progress was unimaginable. Feng Yi was truly astounded by Xiu Yi's determination, even he hadn't possessed such persistence in the past.

As for the Military Department, the Blazing Fleet, and friends like Francis and others who sent messages via Heavenly Communication, Feng Yi chose to ignore them all. He didn't know how to respond to those he knew well, to tell them where he was or where he might go in the future.

Luckily, the heat of the grand competition was at its peak, and the battles in the 16 sectors were fiercely intense. His brief disappearance went unnoticed—time flew like an arrow, and a month and a half quietly passed during the Mecha Battle competition.

For this, he should probably thank Kexiao. The special exemption given to Revenge Shadow Rider was something Kexiao reserved just for him. Officially, Saudi recognized the significance of Revenge Shadow Rider, but in practice, apart from reserving an exemption for each country, he didn't necessarily qualify for it himself.

47 days later, when the first rays of sunlight hit him, his mood inexplicably lightened quite a bit...

When he stepped outside, he could see the languid steps of the pedestrians and the smiles brimming on their faces. Everything seemed so calm, as if the fable itself was a joke. Feng Yi stretched his waist and then, with a leap, vanished into the crowd.

The widespread battle that lasted nearly two months was drawing to a close. What came next was the top hundred contenders' battle. To have come this far meant that every participant was not to be underestimated; this greatly stimulated Feng Yi's desire to watch...

Out of the top 128, who would stand out and then make it into the top 64 was all still unknown.

Those exempt from battling in the 16 sectors could only go so far; after that, they had to rely on their personal strength to push forward. Feng Yi, in sector seven, didn't even know who his next opponent would be.

With a conspicuous personal identity, sitting in the Federation sector was not a wise choice. Hence, early in the morning, Feng Yi headed to the nearby Zana sector and took an inconspicuous seat, preparing snacks and drinks to wait.
