In this moment, television programs across the globe, including military and entertainment media you've heard of or not, are all broadcasting this soul-stirring live footage. People have traveled light-years to be here, not for Saudi, not for victory or defeat, and not even for the battle itself, but simply to witness Revenge Shadow Rider with their own eyes.
Indeed, his piloting skills can bring tears to everyone who has seen them. He is also the emotional support for many; a defender of courage deep within the hearts of countless Federation soldiers.
It can be said that Revenge Shadow Rider is not a perfect person. As a fighter, he is more often perceived as silent and willful, cold and aloof, but this does not shake his place in people's hearts. On the contrary, as a warrior, Revenge Shadow Rider tends to prioritize action. With a casually uttered "Alright" in response to Xiao Wei's request, he succinctly encapsulates his personality—decisive and unique.
Countless satellites around the world are locked onto a black Mecha of unknown extraterrestrial origin. Before long, a sudden commotion rises from the crowd... everyone can hardly believe their eyes, some holding Shadow Rider posters, others clad in Shadow Rider T-shirts, but what they are now seeing is the genuine black mobile fighter.
Boom! First comes a clap of thunder, the distant sky suddenly roaring with the sound of engines...
Hiss-hiss-hiss-hiss-hiss, Revenge Shadow Rider approaches from the distance, continuously transforming through the void, shifting from a fighter jet into the Shadow Wing Form, and then from the Shadow Wing Form into the black Mecha etched in everyone's memory. Following that, the engine jets cease mid-air and a strong wind sweeps across the ground.
"Oh God... he's really here!"
Men cannot believe it, and girls are so astonished they cover their mouths—it's Revenge Shadow Rider! The initial shock quickly ripples into a buzzing chain reaction of murmurs and discussions.
Some are awestruck, some are distressed, and many are constantly taking photos with their Light Screen phones without pause...
Hans is silent, hardly able to believe that he's truly seeing Revenge Shadow Rider. Oh my god.
Within the crowd is Xiao Wei, the girl who was once saved by Revenge Shadow Rider. Tears are welling up in her eyes. She tries to stop them, but they flow even more. She knows she is just a unnoticed flower basked in the great aura of Revenge Shadow Rider, but that doesn't matter—to her, silently and invisibly supporting and blessing him is enough—Revenge Shadow Rider, thank you for being with me all this way.
Some who have climbed high platforms are even at dangerously lethal heights, yet remain unswayed. For a moment, all eyes are focused on this magical black Mecha, a representation of the world's highest standard for maximum output warriors. Now, he has finally arrived. Truly arrived.
It must be said, the presence of Revenge Shadow Rider on-site is indeed terrifying. Apart from those who truly love him and like him, who do not feel the pressure, advanced pilots can sense the explosive power emanating from within that Mecha!
At this moment, numerous media outlets, television programs, and live broadcasts on various platforms are making pre-battle predictions and further speculations about what will happen next. In this showdown, to be precise, in front of Revenge Shadow Rider, experts can offer their personal opinions, and online celebrities may share their thoughts, but nobody is qualified to rashly evaluate Revenge Shadow Rider's status. Simply put, they are not worthy.
Of course, this battle is not as simple as an interstellar online war—it's a real fight with real swords and guns. To put it bluntly, not only are the two Mecha pilots in danger, but a single mishap could potentially result in the loss of lives among the surrounding spectators. Many broadcasters express that these people's actions are too crazy. Although they themselves love Revenge Shadow Rider deeply and feel some regret for not being at the scene, they feel this passion doesn't justify the insane decision to travel to such a distant planet at the risk of their lives to watch.
Yes, these people are indeed a bunch of madmen. Not only does Hans think this of himself, but even the duplicitous politicians of Saudi find the actions of those who came to Mardis incredible. No one denies Revenge Shadow Rider's strength, which has even surpassed any other warrior of his era, but...
"You are the Revenge Shadow Rider..." the white mobile fighter suddenly spoke up, its voice a somewhat pleasant mechanical electronic synthetic tone.
A stir went through the crowd, as the pitch was that of a female's.
The Revenge Shadow Rider didn't speak, instead slowly drawing the black blade to signify his identity, the blade reflecting a black light as dazzling rays shone upon it.
"Introducing myself, I am a mechanical life form, Yita Type 1, the third prototype, a machine endowed with human emotions by mankind. You can also simply call me 13," it said.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples; mechanical life? Endowed with emotions? Yita's words instantly shocked the audience. Could it be that the actual intention behind Saudi's challenge to Revenge Shadow Rider was to legitimize Yita? Or what?
Yita's voice didn't just stir the on-site crowd but the entire world, which was now eagerly awaiting her sound.
Revenge Shadow Rider sheathed his weapon, "What do you want to say?"
"What I would like to express is that I can accept any challenge from you, any challenge," Yita's voice remained calm, as if she didn't consider Revenge Shadow Rider a serious opponent, "I won't deny that you are a formidable warrior, Revenge Shadow Rider, but you have weaknesses, and all your weaknesses have been cataloged by my computer, including your initial moves, fighting habits, and the flaws that might appear during your usual combat."
Yita 13's voice was very soft, as if speaking about something unrelated to herself, "If a battle occurs, I do not guarantee I will spare your life. Even so, do you still choose to continue fighting?" Seeing Revenge Shadow Rider remain impassive, Yita 13 let out a human-like sigh, "I won't kill you as long as you can keep up with my movements."
What was the source of 13's confidence? At that moment, people's understanding of battle around the world was instantly overturned. She easily maintained over 200 cards of free movement and continued to speed up as she circled the unmoving Revenge Shadow Rider....
At this moment, Roland's gaze was one of amazement. Artificial intelligence? Judging from Yita 13's voice and maneuvering, it seemed plausible. Considering Saudi had deliberately made this a topic of global attention and set up a duel with Revenge Shadow Rider, it was clear that the fight wasn't the focal point. It seemed more like a veiled message to the world. But what good did any of this do for Saudi? Obviously, they wouldn't be foolish enough to perform an act of hiding money here only to reveal its location. What was their purpose?
Sky Shadow clenched his fists tightly. A puppet doll named Yita daring to claim victory over Revenge Shadow Rider was simply the most ridiculous joke in human history. Although he detested Revenge Shadow Rider, what made him angrier was Yita 13's undisguised indifferent tone. A machine's indifferent tone towards humans – he wanted to see just what sort of show this machine would put on. But to think that the whole assembly was fooled here just for a despicable machine.
The white mobile fighter continued its rapid movements, its speed increasing more and more—from 200 cards to 300 cards, then to 400 cards—in less than a minute, the continuously climbing hand speed had reached a terrifying level that left one dumbstruck.
This wasn't on the net, where hand speed couldn't be seen by regular people. However, one could make a rough guess through the operational speed of the mecha. Already so far surpassing human capability by a great deal...
Yita 13 was in no hurry to attack. Only when her hand speed steadied at a staggering 500 cards under Variable Frequency Movement did she casually ask, "Can you still keep up with my speed now?"
