179: Chapter 179 Divine Punishment Overturns
The mech captain suddenly flipped the red button on the joystick and roared in a deep voice, "Attention everyone, initiate the Heavenly Punishment tactic!"
The six mechs immediately changed positions, their engines roaring in unison, the sound deafening.
The extraterrestrial mechs, which had been scattering and fighting on their own just a moment ago, instantly formed a formation.
Three heavy mechs stood at the very front, their thick alloy shields layered together, holding firm against Benboba's wind-like onslaught, not retreating an inch.
The other three sniper mechs immediately retreated, took to the air, and hovered a hundred meters up.
The grey armor on the mechs' shoulders flipped open with a swish, revealing rows of dense energy slots. Blue electric light darted within them, and a scorching wave of heat instantly spread out.
"Lock onto that giant bird beast, charge to full power, Heavenly Punishment main cannon at eighty percent charge!"
The mech captain's voice was cold and hard, drowning out all other noise.
"No matter how fast it is or how hard its Physical Body may be, it cannot withstand the concentrated bombardment of our main cannons!"
The muzzles of the three mechs high in the air instantly lit up with blinding blue light. A terrifying pressure filled the entire plain, causing even the strong winds blowing around them to come to a sudden halt.
The three heavy mechs on the ground simultaneously activated their interference fields. Pale red light waves rippled outward, specifically designed to counter high-speed targets.
Benboba, who was charging madly, suddenly stuttered in its movements.
The wind generated by its wings was forcibly cut off, the surrounding airflow became chaotic, and its speed, which had been like teleportation, was instantly restricted.
The mechs' locking Systems stabilized instantly, and six red targeting dots were firmly pinned onto Benboba, impossible to shake off no matter how it tried.
In the mech communication channel, the previously panicked cries instantly turned into excited shouts.
"Locked on! Target completely locked!"
"Interference effective, it can't run anymore!"
"Main cannons fully charged, ready to fire!"
Benboba's golden pupils constricted, and its rage instantly boiled over; it wasn't afraid of the lethal attack above its head at all.
It suddenly spread its massive wings, the feathers all over its body instantly tensed and glowed, and the spiritual power inside its body surged wildly, forcibly breaking through most of the interference field.
"You dare show off such pathetic metal junk Moves in front of me?"
As soon as its voice fell, six thick beams of blue energy slammed down from the high altitude like lightning tearing through the sky, carrying extreme temperatures and striking Benboba's position with precision.
With a thunderous boom!
A blinding blue light instantly engulfed a range of several dozen meters. The heat wave from the explosion shot into the sky, and dust and debris flew everywhere, completely blocking everyone's line of sight so that nothing could be seen.
The mech captain stared fixedly at the screen, gritting his teeth as he ordered, "Keep firing, don't stop! Even if it is a Beast King, it will definitely be severely injured after taking a direct hit from our main cannons. Finish it off completely!"
The remaining mechs immediately fired follow-up shots, a dense barrage of energy bullets raining down like a storm, firing wildly at the center of the explosion, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.
All the pilots thought they had won, sure that Benboba must be finished.
But in the sky full of dust, a golden figure charged straight out.
Benboba's feathers were a bit messy, and a few were scorched black, but it didn't have a single injury, and the spiritual power shield on its body remained steady.
Its eyes were filled with Battle Intent, its speed was even faster than before, its Aura was more ferocious, and a roar shook the mech screens until they were all flickering with static.
"Is that it? Are you scratching an itch? Do you really think this piece-of-junk cannon can pierce my defense?"
The next second, it flapped its wings violently, and a super-strong wind force formed, pressing down hard toward the entire mech squad.
Mo Yufei, who was watching all of this from mid-air, laughed out loud, his face full of mockery.
"You scared me; I thought you were going to use a big Move!"
"Is that it! You actually dare to name your Move 'Heavenly Punishment'?"
"In my territory, who are you trying to bluff with the majesty of the Heavenly Dao?"
The smile on Mo Yufei's face slowly faded, and his gaze turned completely cold.
"Fine, today I will let you see what a real Heavenly Punishment is. Benboba, come back!"
Benboba heard Mo Yufei's transmission and immediately returned.
Just then, the sky of the Secret Realm turned black instantly.
Dark, oppressive clouds instantly covered the sky, the wind stopped, the air became suffocating, and the entire battlefield was terrifyingly quiet.
A pair of pure white wings spread out behind Mo Yufei. Every feather flowed with scorching golden electric current, fine sparks of electricity kept exploding, and countless bolts of lightning spilled from the wings across the entire world.
The next second, all the lightning in the sky slammed into the ground.
The sky was filled with thick, chaotic lightning, golden electric snakes darted crisscross, and blinding electric light flooded the field of vision.
Lightning struck everywhere, sweeping across everything, sealing off every position the mechs could dodge to.
Every bolt of lightning that struck a mech shield exploded into a spray of electric sparks, and the heavy alloy mech bodies were shaken, forced to sway and retreat constantly.
Dense electric currents crawled all over every mech.
At the same time, countless thin threads of lightning hung down from the dark clouds, like a giant high-voltage electric net, directly enclosing the entire mech formation.
Thin and sharp lightning threads wrapped around the mech cannons, joints, circuits, and heat vents, covering the entire machines, while high-voltage currents continuously scoured the mech shells and parts.
Beneath the electric net, golden electric orbs of various sizes fell from the sky in droves.
Each lightning orb exploded upon hitting the mech shields, the lightning energy impacting the mechs in layers, wrapping the entire mechs in electric light.
Finally, thick and powerful thunderbolts struck straight down from the sky, accurately blasting the core position of every mech.
Lightning flashed, thunder roared incessantly, and destructive lightning poured crazily into every mech, completely burying the entire squad in a sea of golden lightning.
All the lightning-type Supernatural Abilities that Mo Yufei mastered erupted and raged simultaneously.
The sky full of electric light, the full-coverage lightning net, the dense lightning orb bombardment, the targeted heavy thunder strikes—the lightning power completely locked down the battlefield, maximizing the sense of oppression, looking like it would crush everything completely.
However, the anticipated mech breakdown or System paralysis did not happen at all.
The mechs, completely wrapped in lightning, not only weren't damaged, but instead, their energy values, which had been dropping, started to rise crazily, rising very fast!
On every mech's screen, a row of bright text prompts simultaneously popped up, and a cold mechanical voice rang out in sync.
[High-intensity external electrical energy impact detected.]
[Automatically activating energy conversion program.]
[Lightning energy fully compatible, currently absorbing, converting, and storing energy!]
[Mech energy limit Breakthrough, weapon charge significantly increased!]
On the battlefield, the mechs' energy bars, which were nearly bottoming out, instantly filled up, and the previously worn-out shields were refilled by the lightning, becoming brighter and stronger.
The sound of the mech engines became deeper and more powerful, and their overall strength had visibly increased by a large margin.
The whole scene went quiet for a moment.
The mech captain stared at the soaring combat power data on the screen, completely stunned, shocked and angry, his tone reaching a level of absurdity.
"This Demon King... is charging us?"
The pilot next to him was both shocked and happy, his tone full of disbelief.
"He's crazy! His lightning not only doesn't hurt us, but it's also stacking damage for our main cannons!"
"We've had a Breakthrough in our energy limit! We are now more than twice as strong as we were just a moment ago!"
Beside them, Benboba, who had just finished fighting and was still sizzling with smoke, looked down at the mechs whose Auras were getting stronger and whose bodies were getting brighter, and leaned in toward Mo Yufei.
"Boss, why do I feel like they aren't just fine, but actually even fiercer?
Are you sure this is a Thunder Punishment? Isn't it specifically for buffing the opponent and acting as a healer?
Do you have any healing capabilities in the lightning Supernatural Abilities you've mastered? Is there something called Healing Thunder?"
Mo Yufei, in the center of the lightning sea in mid-air, watched the mechs below not only failing to be destroyed but actually getting stronger across the board, and the mocking smile on his face instantly froze.
