Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 760: The Challenge of the Silent Warrior


Now, the world's discussion surrounding Revenge Shadow Rider has not diminished; on the contrary, the topic has become even more widespread. He truly is a legend that cannot be surpassed, and how many people with shared experiences are there beyond the Federation?

One must admit that among the top fighters of various countries, perhaps Revenge Shadow Rider has indeed transcended the White Robe Realm and ascended to the legendary Black Robe—but that's just a rumor. Can humanity really reach such a level?

At the very least, Revenge Shadow Rider is indeed a nightmare weighing on people's hearts. Maybe within the Federation, he is regarded as a War God, but in the eyes of the world, he is perceived as an entity both envied and feared by other nations. Even if people claim that the prowess of the Soaring Sword Dragon with its Blue Electrical Rain is comparable, you can't deny the fact that they lost to him.

Initially, the world did not recognize Revenge Shadow Rider, harboring doubts about his strength, and there were even rumors suggesting he was actually a robot, until Revenge Shadow Rider accepted Mengdie's challenge, and those rumors were shattered.

But all of this is no longer important, for while people verbally express disapproval, they internally exude rejection—an even stronger form of acknowledgment. Only after you have died does the true value of your creations become recognized. When you're alive, even if your work is as expensive as fine art, in the eyes of some malicious people, it is worthless. This is a common characteristic of humanity.

Unless Revenge Shadow Rider truly is an incarnation of God, he could not have possibly appeared in this world.

As everyone knows, there is no shortage of masters among the ranks of civilian mecha enthusiasts, and they seem unable to let go of their previous defeat to Revenge Shadow Rider, taking it very seriously. To this day, quite a number of masters, self-proclaimed Emperors of Mecha Battles, have boldly claimed they want to challenge Revenge Shadow Rider.

The Federation nearly exploded upon hearing this news. There were many professionals within the Shadow Rider camp, but indeed, only a few had reached the Red Robe Realm. Most of them were pseudo-Red Robes in the game, and to be blunt, their strength fell short of a true Red Robe by 30%.

Over two days' time, there were no fewer than ten Star Wars gods who sought virtual challenges with that civilian mecha master. The combat records of these gods all boasted an in-game win rate of over 95%, a truly terrifying rate. Their ranks were naturally at the Red Robe level, with one even reaching the pinnacle of Red Robe—a level actually close to White Robe.

But, when they finally faced real-world professionals, they stood no chance at all, and they inevitably understood the true meaning of the phrase, "Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel worthless."

Yes, this was a matter of superiority in their domain. You may think that you are a Red Robe and so is your opponent, but why is there such a huge gap? The truth is the disparity between reality and the virtual world. You might consider yourself an experienced driver, but your opponent delivers tofu on Mount Akina every day. There's a fundamental difference: they're professionals, you're an amateur; they're in the World Cup, you're in the national team. How could it be the same?

However, aside from the passionate followers of Shadow Rider, who else could the Federation deploy? With Sky Shadow seriously injured, even the super soldiers wouldn't necessarily gain an advantage against true civilian mecha masters, and most importantly, the military would not interfere. Having a battle-hardened super soldier respond to a casual call for a fight would simply devalue their own standing.

It is well-known that the military might challenge Revenge Shadow Rider or occasionally bring up topics related to him due to the level of attention he commands from various countries. Regardless of Revenge Shadow Rider's world status, his possession of the Storm Wings launch system alone puts him beyond compare.

This weapon is not an old-fashioned rocket-guided intercontinental missile from centuries ago but the Storm Wings, powered by a fusion engine with ion acceleration and curvature locking. The weapon's strike range is so vast it's measured in light years, and its acceleration time is much shorter than that of a space shuttle because while the human body needs to withstand the force of acceleration, a missile does not. It can reach sub-light speed in just a few hours, meaning that interception is possible only during the acceleration phase within these few hours. Once it switches to auto-pilot in curvature flight mode at sub-light speed, the missile is basically unstoppable unless its course is calculated in advance, but this provides an extremely limited time frame to act.

In other words, Revenge Shadow Rider is an absolute threat to a sovereign nation. Compared to the importance of Shadow Rider, what significance do they hold? Hence, the official stance is to neither care for nor address this matter.

As for ordinary people, even if they want to care, it's useless if they simply can't win. Charlotte is almost in tears, as not steaming buns is a matter of pride. For two days now, they have been appealing in the public broadcast room with millions of viewers— who can deal with those bastards? The channel has no shortage of experts; in fact, many have arrived, with some even reaching the Star Wars Red Robe stage, having fought hard to get there.

But it is all in vain. Their strength is so unbelievable that you doubt whether you are playing the same game. Whenever you aim to shoot, they precisely disrupt your rhythm; as soon as you try to dodge, their alloy blade is already waiting behind to meet you. This is a chasm that lies in their level of mastery, impossible to cross.

Just when things seemed their most dire, a voice suddenly quieted the clamorous sounds on the internet...

It didn't come from the Federation nor was it Revenge Shadow Rider making a comeback but rather an adversary who had lost to Revenge Shadow Rider twice—Soaring Sword Dragon.

In front of the media, Sword Dragon spoke for the first time, stating that indeed there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world, but since Revenge Shadow Rider's whereabouts are now unknown, those who believe they can defeat him are welcome to come and try their hand against him.
