192: Chapter 192 The Crimson Lotus Domain in the Bathroom! The Demonized Gawain Descends!

A runaway heavy hover-truck sped past the street corner.

The stagnant water in the potholes on the road splashed up, drenching the hem of Kallen's skirt.

Her light-colored pleated skirt was instantly covered in a large patch of mud, and even her fair calves were splattered with mud spots.

Kallen was still carrying the huge woven bag she had won at the arcade, and looking down at her dirty skirt hem, her cheeks flushed bright red.

"How am I supposed to go back to school like this..." She gritted her teeth and looked around, trying to find a restroom.

Yu Feng took the woven bag and carried it with one hand, grabbed her wrist with the other, and turned to walk towards Ashford Academy.

"Follow me."

A few minutes later, the two climbed over the academy's back wall.

Yu Feng, familiar with the route, dragged Kallen into the public bathroom on the west side of the academy.

Because of facility maintenance, it had been closed and out of use for several days.

It was empty inside, with only a few emergency lights glowing with a dim yellow light.

Before Kallen could react, Yu Feng had already locked the bathroom door.

"Go in and wash up."

Yu Feng threw the woven bag onto the bench and pointed to the row of stalls inside.

Kallen clutched her skirt, her face so flushed it looked like it was about to bleed.

She shuffled a few steps, walked into the innermost shower stall, and turned on the faucet.

The sound of rushing water echoed in the empty bathroom.

Ten minutes later.

The sound of water stopped.

Kallen dried her body, only then realizing that because she had been in such a rush to come in, she hadn't brought any change of clothes.

She had no choice but to pull down a large white bath towel hanging nearby, wrap it tightly around herself, and push open the stall door.

Steam filled the air.

Kallen stood barefoot on the tiles, her skin flushed a soft pink from the shower.

The great figure she had developed from years of piloting mechs could not be hidden under the bath towel.

Her long, straight legs, tight waistline, and proud curves were completely exposed.

She had just taken two steps when she looked up.

Yu Feng was leaning against the tiled wall opposite, toying with a lighter in his hand.

Kallen's heart skipped a beat.

She subconsciously gripped the edge of the bath towel at her chest, took half a step back, and her back pressed directly against the cold tiled wall.

"Are you done washing?"

Yu Feng stepped forward.

"Mm..." Kallen's voice was so small she could barely hear it herself.

Yu Feng reached out directly and braced his hand on the tiles beside her cheek.

The distance closed instantly, and his scent, mixed with a faint smell of tobacco, completely enveloped Kallen.

Kallen even stopped breathing.

She looked up at Yu Feng's face.

Yu Feng didn't waste words; he wrapped his other arm around her waist and leaned down to kiss her.

Kallen's mind exploded with a boom.

The bath towel in her hands slipped down significantly, and her hands instinctively climbed onto Yu Feng's shoulders.

The steam in the bathroom grew heavier, and the temperature rose sharply.

Yu Feng pulled back slightly and raised his hand to turn on the shower head nearby.

The warm stream of water poured down over their heads, drenching their hair and bodies.

Amidst the sound of the rushing water, Yu Feng's immense physique and mental energy began to be released without reservation.

Without any superfluous steps, he got straight to the point.

Kallen let out a muffled groan, her fingers digging tightly into Yu Feng's back.

This was an absolutely dominant, one-sided crushing.

Yu Feng's formidable physical strength transformed into a violent torrent of energy during their practical exchange.

Kallen only felt the blood in her body boiling, her entire body strengthening under this high-frequency energy impact.

Time ticked by second by second.

Two hours later.

Kallen lay completely limp in Yu Feng's arms, without even the strength to lift a finger.

[Ding! Detected target character Kallen has successfully conceived!]

[Target has triggered the "many children, many blessings system" feedback mechanism!]

[Congratulations to Kallen for awakening the B-rank exclusive ability: Guren Field (Upgradable)!]

[Ability Effect: Absolute Control over all heat and radiation within a radius of one kilometer. Can infinitely feed back absorbed heat to herself or the bound mech's power core, achieving infinite endurance and firepower overload.]

The system's notification sound rang in her mind.

Kallen lay on Yu Feng's chest, panting heavily.

She clearly felt an extremely terrifying power within her.

The heat in the surrounding air, the weak radiation emitted by the light tubes, and even the temperature of the hot water flowing from the shower head were all within her perception and absolute Control.

"I've become stronger..." Kallen looked up, her face full of disbelief.

Yu Feng turned off the shower, casually grabbed a dry bath towel to wrap her in, and scooped her up.

"This is just the first lesson."

Yu Feng walked out of the bathroom and placed her on the bench. "We'll have make-up lessons every day from now on."

Kallen buried her face in the bath towel, her ears bright red, but she nodded vigorously.

...

A few days later.

The Black Knights underground base, command room.

The sound of urgent alarms rang throughout the hall.

A dozen communications officers typed rapidly at the consoles, and various chaotic intelligence reports were aggregated onto the central big screen.

Lelouch stood in front of the big screen, his brows knitted into a tight knot.

On the screen, the entire map of Kyushu, Japan, was completely covered by dense red light dots.

The light dot representing the Fukuoka base was flashing wildly; that was the Imperial army's last line of defense in Kyushu.

"A confirmed battle report received five minutes ago."

Lelouch turned around and looked at everyone in the command room. "General Katase of the Chinese Federation's Liaodong Military Region, under the banner of aiding Japan's liberation, has led tens of thousands of mechs and a heavy fleet to launch a surprise attack on Kyushu."

Kaname Ohgi wiped cold sweat from his forehead nearby: "Tens of thousands of mechs? This isn't aid at all; this is a full-scale invasion!"

"The Imperial army's front line has completely collapsed."

Lelouch enlarged a battlefield photo. "The Second Princess, Cornelia, is currently trapped in the Fukuoka base, and the defensive line can hold for at most two more hours. Most of Kyushu has already fallen."

The command room was silent.

Everyone could feel that the situation was out of Control.

Once Katase takes Kyushu, with the military force he has, he will definitely march north and directly annex all of Japan.

By then, The Black Knights, caught between the Empire and the Chinese Federation, would be attacked from both sides and surely doomed.

"I have simulated seven tactical plans."

Lelouch pressed his hands on the table. "The only chance of survival is for us to briefly join forces with the Imperial army. While Katase hasn't firmly established himself, we must cut off his supply lines from the rear and help Cornelia break the siege. As long as the Fukuoka base isn't lost, the Empire's main force can hold them back."

Kallen stood nearby, just about to say something.

"Join forces, my ass."

A lazy voice came from the corner of the command room.

Yu Feng was lying on a leather sofa with his legs crossed and propped up on the coffee table.

He casually tossed the orange peel he had just peeled into the trash can, sat up, and clapped his hands.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Yu Feng walked to the tactical screen and glanced at the dense red dots on it.

"You said earlier, how many mechs did Katase bring?"

Yu Feng asked.

"Tens of thousands."

Lelouch replied, "And dozens of heavy cruisers, all of which are heavy-armor models."

Yu Feng laughed.

"No need to simulate."

Yu Feng turned and walked out, grabbing the jacket hanging on the chair and putting it on.

Lelouch was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Going to pick up scrap."

Yu Feng didn't look back. "The tens of thousands of tons of scrap metal delivered to my doorstep are all mine."

Kallen's eyes lit up, and she immediately followed him.

She had just awakened [Guren Field] and was worried about not having a place to test her new ability.

Lelouch stood where he was, looking at the despair-inducing military strength comparison on the screen, and then at Yu Feng's retreating back.

He sighed and grabbed the ZERO mask from the table.

"Notify the mech forces, all on standby."

Lelouch issued the command.

Kaname Ohgi was anxious: "ZERO, aren't we going to follow?"

"Why follow?"

Lelouch put on the mask, his voice processed through a voice changer, revealing a bit of helplessness. "To steal his spoils? Prepare a few transport planes; after he finishes fighting, we'll just go and move some of the remaining supplies."

Three thousand mechs evaporated in one shot

Kyushu, Fukuoka base.

Smoke obscured the sky, and the sound of gunfire was deafening.

The base's outer breakwater had collapsed for the most part, and seawater was pouring in through the gaps.

Cornelia stood in the ruins of the command room, her military uniform covered in dust and blood.

Her personal mech, "Sandre," was lying a dozen meters away, its right arm blown off and its motherboard completely burned out.

"Your Highness! The sixth defensive line has been breached!"

The adjutant shouted at the top of his lungs, "The enemy's heavy mech forces have broken into the inner city!"

Cornelia gritted her teeth and stared intently at the screen.

Outside the base, tens of thousands of Chinese Federation mechs were arranged in a dense formation, tightening the encirclement step by step.

In the sky, Katase's flagship hovered below the clouds.

His arrogant face appeared on the full-band broadcast screen.

"Your Highness Cornelia, give up the resistance!"

Katase laughed loudly, "Your military strength is exhausted. As long as you surrender, I will guarantee your safety and send you back to Britannia in style."

In the center of the battlefield, a white seventh-generation mech was struggling to hold on in the sea of mechs.

That was the Lancelot piloted by Suzaku.

The high-frequency vibration sword in his hand had its edge rolled, and the energy shield was flashing with red light, ready to go out at any moment.

Enemy mechs were surging up from all directions, and the Lancelot's movements were becoming slower and slower.

"Energy remaining at five percent..." Suzaku looked at the red alarm in the cockpit, panting heavily.

He had been fighting at high intensity for three consecutive hours, and his physical strength and mental state had reached their limit.

Katase lost his patience and waved his arm on the flagship.

"All forces, full attack! Dismantle that white mech for me!"

Thousands of mechs simultaneously raised their gun barrels, aiming at the Lancelot and the core of the Fukuoka base.

Cornelia closed her eyes, preparing to welcome the final destruction.

Just at this critical moment.

Boom—!

The clouds overhead suddenly exploded, creating a huge hole.

A stream of air, violent to the extreme, descended from the sky, forcefully tearing the smoke over the battlefield in two.

Everyone subconsciously looked up.

A behemoth, pitch-black all over with dark gold magic patterns flowing on its surface, plummeted straight into the battlefield with terrifying kinetic energy.

Bang!

The magic-modified Gawain mech slammed into the breakwater in the center of the battlefield.

The reinforced concrete within a radius of one kilometer was instantly pulverized, and the huge shockwave kicked up waves dozens of meters high, directly blowing away hundreds of surrounding enemy mechs.

Inside the cockpit.

Yu Feng sat in the main pilot's seat, legs crossed, with a freshly lit cigar in his mouth.

Lelouch, wearing the ZERO uniform, sat in the co-pilot's seat, gripping the seatbelt tightly with both hands, his face a bit pale.

The free-fall landing method from ten thousand meters just now had almost shaken his bile out.

The Gawain mech straightened its body, and the anti-gravity floating wings on its back unfolded.

Yu Feng exhaled a smoke ring, his S-rank divine power erupting without reservation.

A layer of visible dark golden ripples radiated from the Gawain mech as the center towards all directions.

Hum—

The ripple swept past.

The internal motherboards of the hundred-plus Chinese Federation mechs charging in the front instantly sparked.

The dashboards in the cockpits all went black, and the engines shut down directly.

Hundreds of mechs, like toads with their tendons pulled, lay paralyzed on the ground, motionless.

Katase widened his eyes on the flagship and roared in terror: "What kind of monster is that?! Fire! Give me concentrated fire and destroy it!"

Thousands of mechs readjusted their gun barrels, and the main cannon on the flagship also began to charge.

Yu Feng twitched his lips and reached out to press the full-band broadcast button on the console.

"Don't anyone move."

Yu Feng's voice, through Gawain's amplification system, spread across the entire battlefield. "This scrap metal is all mine."

As soon as he finished speaking.

He directly pressed the firing button for the dual-shoulder plasma annihilation cannons.

The magic-infused Gawain's shoulder cannons lit up with a blinding dark red light.

The power source, purified to a high dimension by the [magic energy furnace], instantly outputted extremely terrifying energy.

Sizzle—!

Two dark red Death Star beams, over a hundred meters in diameter, emitted a scream that tore through space and shot out with a roar.

The beams swept across the sea directly in front.

No physical armor could withstand this high-dimensional energy cutting.

The three thousand enemy mechs charging at the front didn't even have a chance to explode; they were vaporized directly in the dark red beams, leaving not even a trace.

The aftermath of the beams swept across, directly hitting the fleet anchored on the sea.

Several of Katase's heavy cruisers were sliced cleanly in half, their cross-sections instantly melting into blinding molten iron.

The seawater was evaporated and boiled by the super-high temperature, and a scorching rain began to fall from the sky.

Cornelia stood in the ruins, looking at the data feedback on the screen, frozen.

Suzaku sat in the energy-depleted Lancelot, his mouth wide open, unable to say a word.

Just one shot.

Three thousand mechs evaporated, half a fleet destroyed.

This wasn't a war at all; this was a one-sided slaughter.

Katase was scared out of his wits, and he screamed frantically on the flagship: "Retreat! All forces retreat! Leave here immediately!"

The remaining thousands of Chinese Federation mechs abandoned their gear and turned to run.

Suzaku gritted his teeth, wanting to force-start the Lancelot to pursue.

He couldn't let these invaders go.

Whoosh—!

A red afterimage shot past the Lancelot, overtaking it.

The speed was so fast that the airflow it kicked up almost flipped the Lancelot.

Kallen, piloting the guren mk-ii, charged into the remnants of the enemy forces.

"What are you running for?"

Kallen sat in the cockpit, her eyes shining amazingly.

She directly activated her B-rank exclusive ability [Guren Field].

The heat and radiation within a radius of one kilometer were instantly under her absolute Control.

The high temperature generated by the explosions on the battlefield and the heat emitted by the mech engines all turned into a torrent of energy, surging into the power core of the guren mk-ii.

The radiation wave mechanism in the right arm of the guren mk-ii erupted with blinding red light.

Kallen didn't need weapons at all.

She piloted the mech into the enemy formation and slapped a palm onto the chest of an enemy mech.

Without any pause, the armor plate of that heavy mech melted directly into molten iron, and the pilot inside was roasted into charcoal before even letting out a scream.

The guren mk-ii rampaged through the enemy formation, dismantling mechs with its bare hands, melting three or four at a time with a single slap, its firepower overloaded to the extreme, without any need to consider energy consumption.

Suzaku looked at the red mech rampaging ahead, then looked at the broken sword in his own hand, his face stinging with heat.

The battle ended faster than anyone had imagined.

A few minutes later, not a single enemy mech could be found standing on the Kyushu battlefield.

Yu Feng stubbed out the cigar in his mouth in the ashtray.

Above in the sky, a huge void fissure thousands of meters long slowly opened.

The automatic collection function of the [Infinite Portable Space] started at full power.

The tens of thousands of mech wrecks scattered on the battlefield, the shredded battleship fragments, and the unburned special alloys all flew into the sky under the massive suction force, continuously being drawn into the void fissure.

This tens of thousands of tons of scrap metal would become excellent nourishment for upgrading the crimson star destroyer to the ninth rank.

Cornelia stood in the ruins of the Fukuoka base, watching helplessly as Yu Feng scavenged the entire battlefield's spoils clean, not even leaving her a palm-sized piece of armor plate.

She gritted her teeth until they rattled, clenched her fists tightly, but didn't dare to make a sound.
