Chapter 147: Fighting for the Top
The divine mechas of the second group saw a huge phantom suddenly passing by them, disturbing their flames and causing them to fluctuate and become distorted for a moment.
At this moment, the Pluto Mecha had completely passed the second group, climbed upward, and was about to enter the first group.
Moreover, facing the barrage of countless divine energy cannons, the Pluto mecha turned and shifted at will, and continued to move forward at a high speed, without being touched by a single beam of light! In this way, it circled the side of the big peak, quickly passed the middle of the first group, and chased after the three divine mechas in front.
Coincidentally, just after the Pluto Mecha stood out from the crowd, the Demon Mecha also suddenly appeared, and quickly approached the first group under the push of bursts of deep flames.
However, the Devil Mecha was not as unscathed as the Pluto Mecha when facing the concentrated fire from the divine energy cannons from behind.
Instead, he absorbed two or three waves of vertical force from divine energy cannons and used the force to accelerate forward.
This scene made the mecha masters below dumbfounded.
Although this would infinitely increase the consumption of the divine shield, it also saved some of the acceleration energy, and it is a clever way to accelerate.
Besides, the risk level is still quite high.
If the opponent suddenly increased his strength and broke through his divine shield, the one who would suffer would naturally be the Evil Ghost Mecha.
However, in this scenario, the evil ghost mecha seemed to have anticipated it, and every time the opponent's divine energy cannon was powered up, it would suddenly increase the activation power of the divine shield.
In this way, he was able to stabilize his position and surpass his opponents in the middle of the first group to reach the sixth position.
The operation was really exciting.
On the contrary, the human-snake mecha that Li Yi had paid a lot of attention to before was the second one to rush forward, but it was the first to bear the concentrated fire of the divine energy cannon. The consumption was too high, so it had to fall back to the second group temporarily and wait for the opportunity.
This is normal. Not to mention him, even Li Yi had to perform extreme operations to be in a safe situation when facing four waves of divine energy cannons from the same level mechas.
Even though the evil ghost mecha borrowed force easily, it was always under the attack of a divine energy cannon, so no one else aimed at it.
…
The distance of 70,000 meters was halfway covered in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the Pluto Mecha has surpassed the level of the third Divine Mecha and continued to climb forward.
As they reached the top few rankings, it became increasingly difficult for the divine energy cannons that were lagging behind to hit those in the front.
The only ones who can pose a threat to them are those in the top twenty.
Among them, naturally, those ranked after ten are the ones who are most eyeing the top ten.
If you can't compete in speed, you can use the divine energy cannon to injure the opponent from a distance, and then take the opportunity to overtake him.
Moreover, those in the top ten also have to avoid those at the bottom and attack those in the front to prevent being overtaken.
Although those in the middle are relatively safe, it does not mean that the strong ones in front will not run out of energy and be overtaken by those behind. Then, in order to maintain the advantage, they will take action immediately while falling behind.
Therefore, the first twenty are always on guard against each other, and the psychological game between them is naturally more intense and rapid.
After all, at such a high speed, the driver's reaction speed will be difficult to fully cover and resolve some special situations.
Even if it is predicted, it may not be possible to completely avoid the collision or the sudden attack of the divine energy cannon.
Because this huge peak has a diameter of 500 meters, the entire width is quite acceptable and can accommodate many divine mechas flying side by side.
Otherwise, the strong man at the front would have no room to dodge.
However, even though there is space, it is not large enough to perform large-scale evasion.
If you fly to the diagonal opposite side of a divine mecha, you will definitely face the divine mecha on the other side.
Therefore, for those strong men after the top ten, there is still hope of making it to the top ten! Moreover, if someone takes the initiative, they can also fish in troubled waters!
Soon, when the top ten groups were about to fly to an altitude of 50,000 meters, the B-class mecha ranked tenth lost its patience and took the first step!
Boom!!! An ice-blue divine energy cannon suddenly shot out, heading for the sixth-ranked Thor sequence mech! The two were only 700 meters apart. Although this wave of energy was offset by the flying speed of the two, the firing speed of the energy cannon was faster than the bulky body of the divine mech after all. It quickly passed through the gaps between several divine mechs and hit the Thor sequence mech, which was currently ranked sixth.
Crack!!!
A purple-blue translucent divine shield was opened behind the Thor-sequence mecha, barely able to withstand this wave of divine energy cannons.
Moreover, the Thor-sequence mecha seemed unwilling to be attacked from behind, and suddenly, while maintaining its upward flight, it tilted its head slightly downward, opened its mouth, and fired a purple-blue lightning energy cannon.
Boom!!!
The firing rate and the speed of the target behind just happened to superimpose in reverse, and the divine mecha that fired the shot was hit in an instant.
The divine mecha did not seem to have anticipated this change. It only opened the divine shield behind it, but not the one in front of it! In the blink of an eye, the thruster mounted on the shoulder armor was hit by the lightning energy cannon, and its speed plummeted.
And then, the more embarrassing moment came.
The divine mechas ranked eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth were almost in line, and were all staring at his position. Seeing this, they attacked without hesitation, unleashing divine energy cannons to beat the downed dog.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Being hit by three consecutive divine energy cannons would have been fine, but one of them was actually a freezing wave, which just happened to block the thruster jet of the tenth divine mecha, and the momentum was instantly lost, and it fell straight down!
Several divine mechas below all gave way.
This fall is a height of more than 50,000 meters!
Under the strong gravity of the border star, the fall of 50,000 meters will be completed very quickly.
That divine mecha can only hope to break through the freeze on the jet during this period.
Theoretically it shouldn't be difficult, but this time you'll inevitably end up at the bottom.
Even a B-class divine mecha would be in great trouble if it suffered such a blow.
Moreover, as the conflict broke out on this side, it also triggered the concentrated fire attack of the ten divine mechas at the back.
Although there are fewer divine mechas participating in this wave, they are closer and stronger, and undoubtedly pose a greater threat.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight divine energy cannons shot out from their upper and lower jaws, shooting straight towards their respective targets.
Since they did not connect in advance, their goals were different.
Basically, except for the first Yueyin mecha, whose speed was too fast, it had gradually taken the lead by thousands of meters.
The other machines were basically given special care.
The Pluto Mecha was in the third position at the moment, and two divine energy cannons were fired at it one after another.
However, although the distance was close, Li Yi was multitasking as he kept an eye on the situation below. As soon as he saw any movement, he would immediately predict where to shoot.
Therefore, it is actually very easy to dodge.
The speed of the machines below also slowed down under this wave of concentrated fire, and they fell out of the top ten.
After a while, the Divine Mecha, which was originally ranked eighth, made a mistake and was hit on the head by an energy cannon that pierced through its Divine shield. It was seriously damaged and had to drop out of the top ten.
…
The first group gradually approached the top of the big peak.
This location has long left the artificial ozone layer and entered the outer space environment.
At this moment, in the dark and silent space environment.
A pure white divine mecha vibrated its armored wings and, propelled by the flames of its wingtip thrusters, quickly passed over the top of the giant spike, began to slow down, and then flipped over and landed on top of the giant spike.
Following closely, a purple-blue divine mecha, accompanied by bursts of violent lightning, arrived at the top of the big peak again.
The third one is the Pluto mecha, which is pure black with complex patterns on the chest.
After all, Li Yi's total amount of divinity is still much weaker than that of this group of strong men who are basically at the top of the upper evolutionists. After a wave of acceleration, he continued to catch up from the second group and came to the third position. The load is already not low.
Moreover, this is only the second round, so we just need to stay in the top ten.
Therefore, he did not use all his trump cards to compete for the first place.
By taking third place, we were able to pick a lot of suitable teammates.
According to the mechanism of the third round, the top ten will take turns to select players.
Pick one at a time, and the one being picked can choose whether to accept it.
If you do not accept, you will jump to the next top ten selection, which is equivalent to being rejected, and you will lose one chance.
Therefore, this is also a two-way choice.
After all, those who rank after the top ten are basically destined to have no chance of making it to the top ten in the finals.
The final competition will be based on the rankings of these captains.
The team members can only hold on to the glimmer of hope that the captain is capable and can lead the team to find enough resources or even heritage relics.
In this way, those who are below the top ten in the second round will have a chance to win the top ten as a group, or some people can rely on points to squeeze out the captain's spot at the end of the group and break into the top ten.
On the contrary, if the results are mediocre, those who did not make it into the top ten in the second round will naturally have no chance of making it into the top ten in the final.
Because the team has too few points, the points cannot be distributed to the team members.
…
At this moment, with the landing of Pluto Mecha.
The fourth and fifth ones followed a little later by four or five seconds and also completed deceleration and landed on the ground.
This fifth one is actually the evil ghost mecha that Li Yi has always been paying attention to.
The next six were all B-class divine mechas that Li Yi did not recognize. Each one looked majestic and imposing.
However, the twelfth divine mecha that caught up gave Li Yi a slight surprise.
It was the human-snake mecha that he had been paying attention to.
It would be best if he wasn’t in the top ten, so that he could pick this guy.
As for the others after the top ten, Li Yi also observed carefully during this process to see if there were other targets with good strength.
…
On the other side, in the monitoring room of the main base, several powerful Heavenly Rank warriors were observing the various images on the monitoring screen with great interest.
A middle-aged handsome man with long flowing hair observed the top ten people with interest and said, "Nine B-class mechas, but there is a C-class mecha that has sneaked in. What is the origin of this C-class divine mecha?"
Someone beside me said:
"General Lu, that's Li Yi from the Yao Chi ship. He's very young and just turned 20 a few days ago."
General Lu did not believe it:
"How can you have such strength at the age of 20? That observation, that prediction, that dodging, how can you be so proficient without more than ten or twenty years of consistent training?"
Another powerful Heavenly Rank master with a serious look and a gleam in his eyes said:
"Genius cannot be judged by common sense. Existence is reasonable and normal."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
General Lu said, "Old He, do you think it is possible that the Yao Chi ship or this Li Yi forged his age? Even if there really is a genius, it is indeed too outrageous to be able to do this."
Lao He shook his head and said, "If you think there is a problem, just arrange for someone to check it out. There is no need to worry about it."
General Lu nodded and said, "Xiao Zhuang, go check it out. Be as thorough as possible and don't alert the Yao Chi ship. If you find out that there is no disguise, you won't be embarrassed when you meet Lao Teng."
The Old Teng he mentioned was naturally Teng Baixin, the captain of the Yaochi ship.
Xiaozhuang, who was called, responded and then logged into a special page and started searching quickly.
After a while, Xiaozhuang said:
"I found it. It should be real information. The genetic information in the birth record is basically consistent with the simulated evolution portrait. It should be a real person."
General Lu frowned and asked, "Is it possible that the birth genetic record information from 20 years ago was forged?"
Xiao Zhuang said: "Of course there is a possibility of forgery, but it is basically impossible for the genetic information uploaded at birth to be so consistent with the simulated evolution."
The so-called simulated human evolution is a technology obtained by the Federation after cracking an ancient divine object.
Based on specific genetic information, it is possible to predict future appearance.
Basically, even if someone is overweight or disfigured, as long as the bone structure is basically the same, they can be identified as the same person.
This technology was only cracked in recent years and is being promoted on a small scale but has not yet become popular.
Therefore, General Lu had never heard of the effects of this thing before.
At this moment, Lao He and General Lu walked forward and compared the simulated appearance with the appearance in the file, and they were indeed the same.
Seeing this, General Lu smiled and shook his head, saying: "Sorry, it seems that I have been slapped in the face. I didn't expect that there would be a character who is more talented than me."
Hearing this, Lao He was speechless and said, "You can become the first general of the border star base, thanks to your thick skin like a pig."
General Lu seemed to be completely unimpressed by Lao He's ridicule, and said calmly:
"I rely on my hard power, okay? The top three strong men in the heavenly rank are no joke."
Lao He said: "You are just flattering yourself. You are lucky to be in the top five."
General Lu raised his eyes and said with a smile: "How about we have a fight?"
Lao He said, "Forget it. I'm not strong enough for you to beat me, so I won't humiliate myself."
General Lu said, "Hey, so why are you so picky?"
Lao He said, "Because you can only fight a little better than me, not much better than me. If you can fight a lot better than me, I will definitely shut up."
The people around listened to the two Heavenly Rank Powerful Men bickering in an unseemly manner, but no one dared to laugh.
After all, these two are not ordinary Heavenly Rank powerhouses, but are also well-known among the Heavenly Rank, and are known as the two with the greatest hope of breaking through to above the Heavenly Rank.
The heavenly position is the beginning of true inhumanity.
Therefore, there is also a considerable gap in strength within the Heavenly Stage.
Condensing a divine core is the heavenly position.
The heavenly position is reflected in the control of the divine mecha, which is the ultimate enhancement of the characteristics, allowing the divine mecha to burst out with higher characteristic power.
A divine nucleus can solidify three heavenly characteristics.
Therefore, to stimulate a characteristic of the heavenly position is to enter a stage of the heavenly position.
There are three kinds of stimulation, which are the three stages of heavenly position.
After that, if one wants to enter the fourth stage of the heavenly realm, one needs to condense a new divine core.
Generally speaking, at the Heavenly Stage, a total of three divine cores need to be condensed before one can reach the peak and have the hope of breaking through to above the Heavenly Stage.
That is to say, there are nine levels of heavenly position, and each level has one characteristic.
Originally, there was no mention of the nine levels of heavenly realm in the path of human exploration.
Rather, it was a new division made after the first strong man above the Heavenly Rank was promoted in order to make it easier for later ones to be promoted above the Heavenly Rank.
In the beginning, the Heavenly Rank had only one divine nucleus, and even one nucleus solidified nine Heavenly Rank characteristics, and tried to use it to ascend to the Heavenly Rank, and barely succeeded.
However, after being promoted to the Heavenly Rank, the strength did not increase much.
Because the divine nucleus dispersed too much power, although it had more characteristics, its overall power decreased.
Therefore, the method of using three divine cores to ascend to the heavenly level was invented later. This method is also called the three-core method.
And after being promoted to the Heavenly Position with three cores, his strength is indeed outstanding, and he has an outstanding record in battles with powerful aliens.
It is also relying on this method that the human race has been able to survive to this day despite its absolutely weak position. Science and technology have developed significantly, and the number of strong people has gradually grown.
Although we are still a long way from a counterattack, we are indeed making progress.
However, the aliens also have a strong foundation. For this reason, the human strongmen have proposed using six-core or even nine-core methods to achieve the heavenly position.
It is expected that the supreme divinity achieved in this way will be incredibly powerful.
However, after verification, it was found that the more divine nuclei there were, the more difficult it was, so the subsequent multi-core method was abandoned.
Moreover, due to the occupation of the strongest divinity zone in the Earth ruins, many Heavenly Rank strongmen directly gave up the three-core method and chose to directly receive the strongest divinity in order to be promoted to above the Heavenly Rank.
In this way, although the future potential is not as good as the group that was promoted through the three-core method and then received the strongest divinity from the ruins.
But after all, he is above the heavenly position and can be considered a hegemon who can protect mankind.
The two people who are speaking at this moment are the best of the best and the beneficiaries of the three-core method.
Lu Yunsheng, a ninth-level Heavenly Stage warrior, drives an A-class 282-meter Celestial God Sequence Poseidon Mecha.
He Guangzhi, a powerful warrior of the eighth stage of the heavenly rank, drives an A-class 273-meter Thor sequence Thunder King mecha.
These two are the real stabilizing force of the border star.
With these two joining forces, even if a powerful alien above the heavenly level comes to kill them, they will be able to fight back.
Although humans are inferior to aliens in overall technological means, they are slightly better than aliens in the development of various fighting techniques and fighting experience.
Therefore, even if the aliens are powerful ones who have just advanced to the heavenly level, they will not be able to escape good fortune when facing the combined forces of these two pillars of power.
Compared with these two, the others present were basically at the first or second level of the Heavenly Rank, with a few at the fourth level, so they naturally didn't have the nerve to interrupt the two and chat.
While chatting, Lu Yunsheng said:
"How about this, let's make a bet on who will be the final winner of this Young Mecha Master Competition. If I win, you are not allowed to interrupt or ridicule me no matter what I say, okay?"
He Guangzhi said speechlessly: "If you bet on who will harass the alien army that is gathering now, I will think you are a more reliable person."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yunsheng frowned and said, "The alien army has gathered again, why didn't anyone report it?"
Xiao Zhuang raised his hand weakly and interrupted:
"General Lu, I reported it to you, but you seemed to be distracted by the images on the monitor at that time."
Lu Yunsheng cursed: "Bullshit, I am a ninth-level Heavenly Stage, how could I be distracted so easily!"
He Guangzhi said: "No, you were indeed distracted, and you kept praising the beautiful dodge of the Pluto mecha."
Speaking of this, Lu Yunsheng couldn't pretend anymore and could only say: "You saw it too. That dodge was indeed beautiful. If it were you or me at the upper evolutionary stage, we would definitely not be able to do it. Moreover, it is even more impossible for us to do it as easily as that kid. That's why I think it's too unreasonable for this guy to be only 20 years old."
He Guangzhi said: "That does make some sense, but you can't judge a genius with common sense. How about this, now that the second round is over, let's spread the word and ask the top ten players in the second round to come to our side."
Lu Yunsheng guessed He Guangzhi's thoughts and said thoughtfully:
"You want to..."
He Guangzhi nodded and said:
"Yes, I wanted to try at first to see if this genius could learn my unique skills, but it's not appropriate to call one person alone, so I just called them all over and gave them a chance. It depends on them whether they can grasp it or not."
Lu Yunsheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Don't even mention them. Even I am jealous of your special skills. So, how are you going to test them?"
Here, Xiaozhuang whispered a reminder: "Two generals, there is something else that needs to be explained. This Li Yi has obtained the Wushan Golden Light."
