The fellow from the civilian Mecha school who kept challenging the Revenge Shadow Rider went by the nickname Super Expert 11111. He originally wanted to call himself Super Expert but, to his chagrin, the nickname was already taken. It wasn't until he added 11111 that the name became unique. However, Hugo's ID nickname was officially certified by the Federal Government, so there was no room for fakery—after all, Galactic Warfare had previously collaborated with the military.

In the moment when they sighted the God's Thorn sword, a major uproar erupted within the Federation… As a war hero, Hugo should have received a hero's welcome.

But, Hugo didn't believe that he had created any value for the Federation, for this nation that held such high hopes for him, or even for the God's Thorn Legion—in fact, he saw himself as a sinner. The resources expended to create a super soldier like him were more than just many, and it was all wasted by his hands; he had no face to continue staying in the Capital.

The battle left Hugo unconscious for a long stretch of time. Although his life was saved, the loss of his legs meant he could never fight again. Ultimately, Hugo applied for retirement and left the Capital alone aboard a black ship.

Hugo left nothing behind; all that remained was people's endless recollections of him deep in their hearts. The Military Department did try to find him, but Hugo, as a professional soldier, was quite skilled at counter-tracking. He easily arrived at the spaceport and boarded a black ship…

For a warrior, losing one's legs could be considered worse than death in some ways. The Military Department missed the best window for treatment in their attempts to preserve Hugo's life, but Hugo had no courage to remain on the Capital Planet.

Before leaving, Hugo thought a lot. Perhaps he would never touch a Mecha again, not even in virtual games. But, as a man who stands tall and upright, although he did not know the exact identity of Shadow Rider, he was indebted to them. At this moment, he felt he must do something for Revenge Shadow Rider.

Not having the chance to fight a warrior like Revenge Shadow Rider was somewhat of a regret in life. But let it be. From then on, he owed nothing to Revenge Shadow Rider.

Hugo had a higher status than ordinary players in the game because his personal evaluation was at the Red Cloak level. In other words, once he issued a challenge, Super Expert 11111 would take notice right away.

As expected, Super Expert truly accepted Hugo's challenge. He was curious about this player with only a few dozen wins and losses, whose debut was followed by an unusual number of supporters. That crowd quickly made him realize that this person seemed to be Hugo.

Whether you are Hugo or Hugo Timberland, anyone who comes will surely be knocked down with one strike. No matter how formidable the other might seem, they were just virtual players and novices who hadn't experienced real combat. He wanted Hugo to regret being born in this world. He didn't know whether the man was stupid or just having a brain malfunction. Having such a massive fanbase and still wanting to challenge him was like demeaning oneself.

Hugo's appearance quickly caught the attention of some interested parties, like Zana and also Hell's Gate. As one of the 12 stars, Mirami of Hell's Gate also turned on the video feed as soon as she heard the news. It was indeed a spiritual occurrence that Galactic Warfare, the game, often became the center of world attention.

Mirami didn't care for anything else, except that she was overly concerned about Roland. Roland's strength was unanimously recognized as formidable by Hell's Gate. Initially, she had stayed low-profile due to being in the Federation, but now that was different. The world still knew that Hell's Gate also had a top-tier White Cloak, the only female top-tier pilot recognized to this date—Roland.

Back in the Bermuda star system, Roland was once capable of holding her own against Hugo. If this Hugo was real, it would definitely be concerning.

Remembering that epic battle that the Bermuda star system had witnessed, which seemed as if it was just yesterday, Mirami shook her head as the image on the Light Screen flickered with Mu Tou's avatar.

The battle between the two had already begun, with Super Expert 11111 selecting a fantasy model, Heavenly Sound.

Hugo remained unchanged, still piloting his staple Federal main combat Mecha, Gun Rider. Based on the type of Mecha, Hugo didn't seem to have any advantage. But one must understand, the Mecha's performance is only a supportive element; what decides the outcome of a battle is the pilot themselves.

Perhaps people wanted to find out the result, perhaps they yearned for Shadow Rider, but as the final countdown for the battle commenced, the screen below suddenly went silent. All at once, everyone realized they too wanted to witness the former glory of this super soldier. In the era dominated by Revenge Shadow Rider, they might not have been the focus of attention, overshadowed by his aura.

But Shadow Rider did not appear. The Federation needed someone to stand up, and it was hard to find such a person abruptly. You might say that the super soldiers were strong, but there were only a few of them, and they couldn't be dispatched lightly. This could also be a political conspiracy from foreign lands against the Federation, but there was nothing you could do about it.

But at this moment, Hugo appeared. Yes, he wasn't a super soldier, or rather, he was a retired super soldier. In an era where there were no great generals and Liao Hua took the lead, perhaps people could only rely on him.

After all, Revenge Shadow Rider's whereabouts were unknown, though half the people still firmly believed that Revenge Shadow Rider was still out there. Shadow Rider wouldn't bother showing up for any challenge, but the fact that he and Kexiao disappeared at the same time was also true.

As the sound of a phoenix resounded, the two Mechas moved at once. Super Expert's disdain came from deep within his soul; he really looked down on these virtual players. Relying on the advantage of his Mecha, Super Expert dashed toward God's Thorn immediately, and with a grand swing of his sword, he displayed a power so dominating, it seemed to tear through mountains and cover the world, as if he were a mighty warrior none could surpass.
