As the dark Mecha was thrown into the void, Revenge Shadow Rider followed and accelerated towards it in pursuit.
Eggy clearly understood what Feng Yi wanted to do - to prevent everything from happening. If the dark Mecha was not stopped, who knew what chaos it would cause next, given that it had not considered the consequences of its actions.
It quickly alerted that there were less than 3 seconds to detonation and insisted on switching to the Shadow Feather Form immediately, as the Light Shield could not absorb such a massive physical shock from the explosion.
Feng Yi didn't hesitate and fired up the engines to their full throttle, once again flinging the dark Mecha away with sheer force and swiftly manoeuvring the Mecha to shift into Shadow Feather Form.
The Revenge Shadow Rider transformed at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye, opening up wings on its shoulders to the surprise of all. The wings resembled those of a giant demon, however, their details were hard to discern from a distance for an ordinary person.
Boom! The void exploded, and with it, the dark Mecha. The explosion illuminated the inky blackness of the night sky, filling it with an unparalleled brightness.
This time everyone saw it clearly ... it was the silhouette of Revenge Shadow Rider draped in wings, momentarily caught by cameras capturing this fleeting, precious image.
You could call it a demon, or an angel, but at that very instant, no one disputed the fact that Revenge Shadow Rider had shielded everyone from a lethal explosion. But it was only for an instant. The following second, the void flashed as if it was high noon...
People could see only a white sheet before their eyes and the camera screens showed just the same. Had both the characters vanished? After a few moments, the light dimmed, the debris from the explosion turned into tiny specks of light rain and disappeared into the night sky, silently recounting the lament of the battlefield...
It all ended just like that, the night sky resumed its inky darkness as if nothing had happened. Only the faint, flickering light high above provided evidence of a massive explosion that had just occurred.
Couples, pedestrians, all remained still in the square, casting their vision towards the distant stars in the sky...
The reality proved that the self-destruction of a real-life superhero was much more terrifying than that in Galactic Warfare. If it weren't for Revenge Shadow Rider, this city district would likely have been decimated. The undefeated legend had made an ultimate sacrifice! At that moment, all eyes were unwavering, looking into the distant night sky as though some soldier was gradually vanishing into the distance...
Kexiao, who was watching all this quietly, only started to move when the two figures vanished. He silently stepped out of his room, took out a communicator and ordered the Saudi soldiers to execute Plan V - find the dark Mecha and attempt to heal it. Even though the possibility of its survival was minuscule, he firmly believed, how could he be certain without trying?
Kexiao had considered many scenarios, such as using this incident to exacerbate the tensions within the Federation, or the dark Mecha managing to escape unscathed after completing its mission. The least likely scenario he had considered was the dark Mecha's death. There were not many aspects that would lead to its failure, roughly divided into two categories. The first was the Revenge Shadow Rider, a mysterious figure with high unpredictability which was most likely to lead to the dark Mecha's failure. The next was it being superseded by the Federation's super soldiers, although considering the time, the Federation's super soldiers didn't seem to be a contender. But theory and reality can be poles apart, nothing can be certain.
The fact was that Kexiao's speculations were entirely accurate, the Revenge Shadow Rider, who liked playing the hero, came to the rescue at the crucial moment. This was also the Revenge Shadow Rider's weakness - a vulnerability.
However, what concerned Kexiao was not this, but the dark Mecha's breakthrough. Even though he didn't understand combat, he noticed the fierceness of the fight between the dark Mecha and Revenge Shadow Rider - the former's power was then not any lesser than Jiu Ling's.
Despite its poor natural talents, the dark Mecha had its own advantages, such as the physical strengths of a cyborg. The dark Mecha's strength had improved greatly with the surge in its power. Hence, Kexiao had to execute this plan as Saudi didn't have any other warriors capable of stopping the Revenge Shadow Rider. But the dark Mecha was different, it already had a personal breakthrough, and one might only have a single such opportunity. Therefore, Kexio believed it was worth trying to save the dark Mecha. As for Jiu Ling, his breakthrough would also occur…
In the void, there was another roar... Our super soldiers finally arrived.
In front of the Light Screen display, Hugo kept replaying the scenes of the explosion captured by the camera. He punched the operating table in frustration. He really was too weak. As a professional soldier, this was utterly humiliating, a disgrace served to him by the Revenge Shadow Rider. Still, Hugo just couldn't bring himself to get angry!
A bitter taste filled Angelina's mouth. This man always did things out of the box, making it almost impossible to predict his actions. However, he was profoundly reliable when it mattered the most. As an X Ability Wielder, she couldn't accept the possibility that he might be gone. Even though the two didn't interact much, she had a subtle feeling that she might have discovered something; however, her distance at the time of the incident was too great, making it hard to ascertain her findings.
Greedy Wolf drew a deep breath and took out an unopened packet of cigarettes. He lit one and smoked it in rapid succession...
"A country's dignity and people's peace always has to be protected by an enigmatic character like you," Greedy Wolf mused. However, at such a critical moment, the Federation indeed was helpless. Now all anyone could do was pray for the Revenge Shadow Rider to be lucky. There was an odd sense of emptiness in him, or was it a form of mourning?
