Chapter 480 You can’t blame me, you forced me to do it!
Tianxia Federation, Chongshan Province.
Chongshan Province lies at the border between the northern and southern parts of the Tianxia Federation, half in the north and half in the south. The southern part of Chongshan Province connects to the northern part of Donghai Province. The straight-line distance between the two provincial capitals is over 700 kilometers.
Pingshan City, University Town.
It was around 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun still shining brightly, but already a hint of dusk was creeping in. It was already autumn, and the road was strewn with withered yellow leaves, which rustled in the gentle breeze.
Chongshan Art College, semi-open main campus, on the green path.
"beep."
The phone was hung up.
"Thank you for your cell phones."
A pleasant young man's voice sounded, clear and bright.
"Ah, no...you're welcome."
Across from me, two girls raised their hands to answer the phone. They were clearly art students, youthful and beautiful. One looked like a lovely girl next door, wearing a white floral dress, with fair skin and smooth black hair. The other wore a white sweater and white jeans, with long legs and a slim waist, and her hair dyed burgundy. With her manicure and lip gloss, she looked like a dashing queen.
At that moment, both men instinctively reached for their phones, their eyes fixed on the young man before them. Handsome, incredibly handsome, so handsome he could even be described as beautiful. The young man stood about 5 feet 4 inches tall, and though he was wearing a simple white shirt and pants, his slender figure held him up perfectly. His natural silver-white hair flowed like a waterfall, tied simply behind his head with a black headband, reflecting a subtle light.
He had a delicate, androgynous appearance, with a pair of unusually sharp and handsome eyes. His gaze was like mist, unpredictable, like a pair of strange, cold moons.
The mixture of a feminine and cold nobility and a hazy, tipsy, and sinister aura gives her an unimaginable appeal that even TV stars can't compare to.
The moment the two girls saw the young man.
An idea arose involuntarily in my mind.
"Can a man be so beautiful?"
So when the young man asked to borrow their cell phones to make a call, they handed it over subconsciously without any hesitation, and then subconsciously took it back.
"Handsome guy, are you a student at the Art Academy?"
"Can I ask which class you are from?"
The cute girl among them looked at the young man and asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm not."
"Do I look like an art school student?"
The white-haired young man shook his head and responded.
"You are so beautiful, oh no, handsome."
"She's even more elegant than those celebrities in the entertainment industry."
The wine-red-haired lady next to her answered.
The young man was slightly stunned.
He knew his hair had turned gray during his escape, but had his appearance also changed? He quickly borrowed another cell phone.
In the reverse camera.
A strangely handsome young man stared silently ahead. Within his sharp eyes, a hazy light shone like mist, yet beneath was an extremely cold expression.
It was a kind of indifference, an indifference towards life, towards society, and even towards the world. It was as if he didn't care about anything and looked down on others.
Bai Tang looked at himself with a serious expression.
"This is the Pale White General!"
As he gained power and memories, he realized he was the reincarnation of the Pale White General. He entered this world to carry out the Machine Master's plan. However, Bai Tang couldn't accept this fact, even harboring a fear that he was slowly being possessed by the Pale White General. So, after waking up at the Metal Council headquarters, Bai Tang chose to flee. Using a portion of the Pale White General's power, an authority that seemed to command all void metal, he escaped from the laboratory unnoticed.
At this moment, Bai Tang had only one thought.
Escape with my brother Bai Xiao and grandparents, no matter where we escape to.
"Handsome guy, handsome guy?"
"Can you tell me your name? Oh, and can you add me on Fetion?"
The two girls looked at Bai Tang in a daze and spoke.
"Oh, sorry, I don't usually use Fetion."
"Thank you. I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Thank you."
Bai Tang said politely, then quickly left the Art Academy.
He was now alone, without any electronic devices, to prevent being tracked by the Metal Council. Since noon, Bai Tang had been running furiously in his pale metal armor. Several hours later, he had arrived near the capital of Chongshan Province.
It is neither close nor far from Huaishui City, Nanjiang Province.
"I hope you can listen to me and go back home to wait for me soon."
Bai Tang felt a little worried.
He quickly left the university town and came to the suburbs of Pingshan City.
On a black road that stretched straight into the distance, a white figure slowly crossed the guardrail, entered the mountains and forests, and gradually disappeared.
at the same time.
Not far away is the highway leading from the city to the suburbs.
A fleet of silver-white vehicles accelerated, reaching speeds of 200 kilometers per hour. Inside, nimble figures in silver-white combat uniforms sat upright, communicating with teammates in other vehicles via the miniature tactical headsets on their helmets. Sometimes, they would receive orders from headquarters.
“Ding ding ding!”
"The Metal Council's top decision-makers have issued an order. All local branches and major corporate groups must capture Bai Tang! Ten minutes ago, he appeared in Pingshan City's university town and is now heading towards the suburbs! All mecha teams along the way, wait for an opportunity to intercept Bai Tang. Remember, the Metal Council's top decision-makers need him alive. Do not kill or harm him..."
Instructions from the Chongshan Province Metal Council branch rang out through the headset.
"clear!"
The captains of the major mecha teams responded one after another.
…
A little after five in the afternoon.
At dusk, the sky was ablaze with rosy clouds as the sun set in the west. A faint dusk had already spread above the clouds, and the wind and waves brought a slightly cool atmosphere.
"call out!"
On the side of the road, less than half a mile away.
A mysterious mecha flew low overhead, its slender form and elegant silhouette like a work of art composed of silvery-white mirrored surfaces. A faint, crystal-like sheen shone through it, and terrifying energy surged beneath it, resonating strangely with the void metal, ready to launch a powerful attack at any moment.
Above the mecha's head, a slowly rotating light wheel was floating.
It was clear that while this mecha was exceptional, its pilot seemed somewhat unskilled. While the mecha could be manipulated with ease, the pilot was somewhat hesitant, resulting in a slow, low-altitude flight. Fortunately, Bai Tang was gradually becoming more proficient, as if his memories were gradually coming back to him.
The Pale Reaper was getting faster and faster, becoming more and more adept at his tasks.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Suddenly, from the left, five black mechas came flying wildly, and the blue-white particle beams ejected from behind them drew one elegant trajectory after another.
"Damn it, it's you again!"
Bai Tang frowned, and his mech sped up again. He had just encountered this same black mech squadron while flying towards Nanjiang Province. Risking a loss of control, Bai Tang surged with energy, sending the Pale Reaper rocketing at breakneck speed, finally shaking them off. However, just over ten minutes later, another black mech squadron intercepted from the side.
"My position has been exposed."
He was wearing a silver-white mecha, and after a moment's hesitation, he decided to unleash another burst of energy to shake off the team. However, at the very moment Bai Tang was thinking, the entire team had already launched their attack.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Instantly, balls of expanding white particle beams of flame exploded on the spot.
At the same time, three black mechas, their heads glowing with red dots between their brows, locked onto Bai Tang. With a crisp, mechanical click, three crimson energy beams suddenly erupted, setting off spirals of flame. Wherever they passed, trees ignited, the ground blackened, and the air distorted.
"Boom! Boom!"
Bai Tang dodged, but only dodged one strike, still being hit in the chest and shoulder. Golden-red flames splattered, scattering like iron flowers. His entire flight was interrupted, and he flew diagonally nearly a hundred meters before crashing heavily into a lush tree.
With a snap, the tree broke and wood chips scattered everywhere.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
The five black mechas, working in perfect harmony, flew over again, surrounding the silver-white mecha. This mecha squadron, a formidable force comprised entirely of Metal Knights, was the elite of the Black Mountain Company. Normally, they were deployed only once a year, but this time, they were specifically dispatched to intercept Bai Tang.
"High-frequency oscillating current network!"
The captain gave the order.
Suddenly, two black mechas launched their right arms simultaneously. Two large, inky nets flew wildly, their surfaces gleaming with crackling lightning. The moment they landed, extremely intense shockwaves spread.
The combination of the two can quickly make the mecha lose its ability to resist.
But, under the two big nets.
The trees were already on fire, burning fiercely and the flames were spreading.
The silver-white mech remained standing, displaying incredible defensive capabilities, seemingly unaffected. The black mech team's captain then issued another order, his deep voice echoing through his headset.
"Flare ray!"
"suppress!"
Suddenly, five mechas from five different directions simultaneously locked onto Bai Tang, trapped in the black net. Their five vertical pupils simultaneously erupted with blazing flames. In a split second, several blazing rays simultaneously struck Bai Tang.
“Clatter…”
Dense sparks flew out, and the surrounding area turned into a sea of fire. Even the ground began to melt under the high temperature, like magma.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Amidst the searing flames, the moon-white mech raised its arms, its feet already sinking deeply into the ground. Bai Tang gritted his teeth. He didn't know how to command the mech in combat, and had been passively taking the beating from the beginning until now. Bai Tang could sense that his pale death mech, though far from its full form, still contained terrifying power. If he could unleash it, he would surely be able to save himself.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The black team sensed Bai Tang's resistance and launched five red rays from the sky, their energy becoming increasingly violent and their temperature becoming increasingly intense. They were about to drive most of Bai Tang into the ground, even burying his head.
"You forced me to do this!"
A dangerous glint flashed in Bai Tang's eyes, a stark contrast to his usual self. Suddenly, the pale reaper soared into the sky. With a sizzling sound, his arms tore through two large nets made of a special, tough material. He actually managed to withstand five Metal Knight-level flare rays, remaining suspended in mid-air.
“Clatter…”
On the back, a surging stream of silver particles continuously extended and condensed, forming a pair of wide wings with a wingspan of ten meters.
Pale, cold, and solemn!
"Get out of my way!"
Bai Tang roared, his pale wings flapping suddenly, instantly increasing his speed and creating a massive sonic boom. With a rumbling roar, a blurry silver-white figure passed between the two black mechas blocking the south. The next second, boom! The powerful mechas were severed in half, splitting into two parts. The two mechas exploded, expanding into two balls of flame.
But the next second, the temperature of the blazing flame dropped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a pale cold fire, spreading in all directions like frost.
A nearby black mech's arm was accidentally caught in the flames, instantly letting out a scream. Luckily, the captain was quick-witted and slashed off the mech's left arm, simultaneously dropping the long sword in his hand. Mid-air, the severed arm and the metal sword were completely engulfed by the flames, transforming into a pool of liquid.
The pale liquid squirmed as if it had life, twisted and strange.
"This is……"
…
5:30 pm.
The border between Chongshan Province and Donghai Province.
A silvery-white afterimage flew across a highway, gradually slowing down. Inside the pale Reaper's body, Bai Tang gasped violently, sweat pouring down his face. He felt a slight tingling in his spirit, the aftereffects of the previous outburst.
"I just... killed two people."
"I……"
Bai Tang clenched his fists tightly and muttered to himself.
"You can't blame me. They were the ones who insisted on blocking my way."
"So, I can only kill them, you can't blame me!"
"call out!"
The mech continued to fly forward, and flew straight for another ten kilometers. In the distance was a suburban area of a city, with occasional factories of various sizes visible.
Baitang flew low overhead, and the dusk light on the horizon grew increasingly intense. The dim red glow was blocked by the buildings, casting a large shadow.
In the distance, there is a road corner.
Bai Tang suddenly stopped moving forward, and the pale Reaper mecha hovered in the air.
"despair!"
Suddenly, a massive mecha, standing five meters tall, emerged, like a small mountain. Its entire body seemed composed of obsidian, its solid, imposing form gleaming with a powerful sheen. Behind it, violent black energy particle beams continuously gushed out, forming a flowing cloak.
In the mecha's hand, there was a giant axe as big as his body, and flames were burning.
The top tier of the Metal Knight class.
One of the most powerful mecha suits of the Black Mesa Group besides the flight upgrade.
Black Yama!
Bai Tang sensed a hint of danger and quickly turned around, trying to retreat.
However, I don't know when.
Behind the road, a purple mecha, as straight as a sword, hovered quietly in mid-air. The mecha's aura was incomparably sharp, its contours imbued with a sense of razor-sharpness, especially its slowly drooping arms, which resembled two divine blades. Their slight curves seemed capable of severing metal.
Chongshan Province, Chairman of the Metal Council Branch, Zijian.
"call out!"
Almost at the same time.
On the horizon, a pure white figure flew over like a meteor.
It stands high above, on the top of a mountain.
The three-meter-tall machine radiated a fluorescent color, captivatingly deep, as if shrouded in a hazy mist. Two red dots, like blood diamonds, spun around on its shoulders, locking onto Bai Tang's position.
Behind him, there were three suspended ball lightnings following him all the way.
Haishan Group, Lightning Mecha.
At the same time and place, three top-notch knight-class mechas, comparable to the masters of the top schools, forcibly blocked Bai Tang, leaving him with nowhere to go.
You have to know that the Pale Reaper mecha is far from reaching its original complete form and has not even entered the flight upgrade stage. At this moment, if it can be fully exerted, it can be comparable to a top-level knight-class mecha.
However, there are now three top-level knights intercepting Bai Tang.
Not to mention, he hasn't mastered the Pale Reaper yet.
For a moment, an inexplicable feeling of despair rose in Bai Tang's heart.
