Could it... Could it be trying to destroy humanity? The young boy tried to study the figure of Darkness closely, realizing that Darkness was looking at him with a lazy gaze. Despite the indifferent sideways glance, it felt strangely fitting, given his insignificant existence.

What kind of scornful mechanical expression was that? It didn't look like something a machine could display. It was hard to describe in words: there was a hint of schadenfreude in its surprise, a tinge of mockery in its anger, a ton of amusement in its confusion, deceitfulness in its desolation, and a gruesome thrill in its playful eyes.

So, it is here to destroy humanity!? Damn it, it isn't just toying with him, is it? Why wouldn't it just launch its attack quickly otherwise? Aside from God himself, nothing in the world could stand a chance against it.

The situation was even worse than what the boy had painted in his adolescence-infected mind. Unlike the boy's fantasies, the chaotic murmuring among the adults never stopped, messages left for loved ones, couples embracing tearfully. More soldiers on the field aimed their weapons at Darkness. Regardless of whether they could defeat it or not, if Darkness made a threatening move, they would give their lives trying to stop it.

With only 30 seconds left to the 3-minute countdown, people started to panic. Some tried to jump down from the 5th floor to try their luck, only to retreat due to insufficient courage.

But retreating wouldn't solve anything. Dammit, they were doomed either way. Since they had to die, they might as well get some satisfaction, some even started cursing loudly. More men stepped forward, at this moment, the citizens of the federation showed their collective spirit; men shielded the women, who in turn shielded the elderly and children.

The boy was among them, slightly shaking his head and sighing to himself about the futility of it all. Why were people putting on a show? If they were already doomed, it would be better to die quickly, he thought. The world is left to you commoners now— no, I don't want to be human in my next life.

The only ones who still seemed composed were a small group of Shadow Riders. Their unknown prayer-like actions attracted curious looks from the crowd…

"With such a formidable enemy before us, don't tell me you believe the Revenge Shadow Rider will really come?"

The refined man with glasses opened his indifferent eyes, a fleeting flash of madness gleaming in his gaze, "Wrong! I have never doubted the Revenge Shadow Rider. As long as we believe, it will exist." With that, he closed his eyes again, resuming his sage mode.

Watching Darkness raise its weapon slowly, he started laughing nervously, talking to himself, "Hehe, buddy, I also like the Revenge Shadow Rider, but your belief is like a sickness and needs treatment— To tell you the truth, I want to believe too, but we only have less than 20 seconds, what if…"

The little angel, Xiao Ba, looked lost. If big brother Revenge Shadow Rider didn't come, the bad guy would harm everyone. Her hope would vanish into thin air, or perhaps she cared more about whether big brother Shadow Rider would come or not, rather than what Darkness would do next, "Mama, will big brother come?"

"Yes, he will. Just close your eyes and count to ten, and big brother will appear." Her mother said softly, her eyes brimming with tears. The countdown from Darkness had reached 10. The mother wished to at least give little Ba more hope and joy in her final moments.

10, 9, 8, 7, 3, 2…

Before the countdown reached one, Darkness' voice abruptly cut off!

Roaring echoed through the void, sounding like the gunfire of jet engines. The thunder-like blast made everyone deaf. Although the source was hundreds of meters away, people could feel the intense heatwaves rolling towards them…

In the beginning, people thought it was the end, that Darkness had initiated its attack. But then, in the blink of an eye, an awe-inspiring black mecha appeared in mid-air, standing before them all.

With a snap of his fingers, the boy's very soul shivered… He could feel its overwhelming presence firing up his own fighting spirit. Cool! It was exceedingly cool! God must be online.

At the same time, Xiao Ba eagerly opened her eyes, which were as pure and clear as a naive fawn's, "Mama, big brother really came."

"Yes." The young woman nodded vigorously.

"Why is Mama crying? Big brother will protect us."

"No, Mommy's just happy."

Now, Xiao Ba seems like the adult, while her mother, surprisingly, becomes like a child in the instant she unexpectedly sees a Shadow Rider. She quickly covers her lips and turns her head, trying to hide her fragile side. But the more she does this, the more her tears keep falling... Maybe, it's truly because of Xiao Ba that the Revenge Shadow Rider came. Thank you for accompanying us all the way.

It doesn't care about righteousness or evil, nor about benefits. It just does what it wants, fighting for those who need protection, standing up for those who can't fight back. A great wave of emotion suddenly spreads among the crowd...

Some girls are already crying uncontrollably... Everyone's grievances seem to have found an outlet. With the appearance of the Revenge Shadow Rider, the crowd somehow becomes fearless, even against Heifeng, the super soldier.

Many people are so excited that they don't know whether they are dreaming or not, My God, the Revenge Shadow Rider is only a few hundred meters away from them?

General Greedy Wolf suddenly stands up from his seat, his excitement making him uncontrollably pound his chest. "Revenge Shadow Rider, the Federation really should thank you this time. "Pass on my order, all soldiers immediately retreat by a hundred meters and do not intervene."

"As you wish."

The higher-ups are clearly willing to believe Revenge Shadow Rider. At least it's not crazy. The officers and soldiers around breathed a sigh of relief when they got the order. Truth be told, if they were to fight a super soldier, even if there were ten times the number of people, they would still not win. The mechas that could inflict substantial damage on the Darkness were only a few dozen and they were old models that were kept in reserve.

"I'll keep you company."

The emotionless electronic synthetic sound effect of Revenge Shadow Rider comes through the speakers of the mecha.

Even Heifeng is breaking out in cold sweat... bad! This is bad. Going up against this guy alone, the odds of winning are pitifully low. But it's not just Heifeng, in the world blacklist, Revenge Shadow Rider is also considered a special existence. If you face this guy alone, you can abandon the mission and return without any military responsibility.

But here's the thing, even with its speed, it would be hard for it to get here in such a short time. According to intelligence, the speed of Revenge Shadow Rider is indeed higher than that of a super soldier, but only to a limited extent.

Heifeng is right. In fact, Feng Yi also thinks so, but he's not aware that the biological mecha had leveled up after the last battle at Jade Clear Sect.

"Heifeng, retreat immediately."

Jiu Ling's image pops up in a corner of the screen. Seeing her somewhat pale and sickly face, Heifeng sighs softly, " Sister Jiu Ling, take care of your injuries. Thank you for looking after me all these years."

"What stupid thing are you thinking? Retreat quickly. This is an order from the Military Department."

Heifeng directly turns off the Heavenly Communication mode, especially remembering the days of training with Silver Moon and Jiu Ling when he was young. Although it was hard, it was carefree and they were now executing mission after mission for freedom.

Back then, he didn't understand why he and Silver Moon lived in the hibernation cabin, while Jiu Ling could move freely. As he grew older, Heifeng gradually understood that he and Silver Moon were modified people. Their emotions were hard to control, or you could say their destinies were arranged from birth.

The difference is that Silver Moon has already become a captive of the Federation, becoming free. And as for himself, he's constantly undertaking new missions under the shackles of fate.

Honestly speaking, he's a bit tired and fed up with this kind of life. When he encountered the Revenge Shadow Rider, he ran away with Jiu Ling the first time, he ran away with Silver and White Mary the second time. There is an old saying: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. This time, he, Heifeng, will not run away. Saudi soldiers are not all afraid of death!

Goodbye, damn Thunder Dragon, see you in hell. Goodbye, Silver Moon, and you, Sister Jiu Ling...
