Chapter 483: Chapter 483: What is called the world number one!
(Refer to the colonial ships of the Super Space Fortress for the concept of the Heavenly Court.)
The data exchange capsule, travelling at sub-light speed, "slowly" caught up with the Heavenly Court, which was cruising at a terrifying speed. As the capsule entered the special airflow of the Heavenly Court’s outer hull, it "slowly" decelerated amidst imperceptible tremors. When the speeds of both entities were fully synchronized, a tractor beam shot out from what seemed to be the port area, guiding the "dragon egg" to a designated spot.
However, the moment Feng Xue stepped out of the airlock, following the soft mechanical voice’s instructions, the dragon egg suddenly vanished behind him. At the same time, a strong sense of danger welled up inside him, and before he could react, beams of light struck him.
Boom!
Horrific impact force and scorching high temperatures erupted within the port, now sealed by drab steel walls. Feng Xue’s body was violently thrown, crashing hard against the unidentified metal wall, and after bouncing off, he rolled several times, ending up in an "Open Mouth and Close Eyes" state.
Glancing at the wooden splinters blasted from the inside, Feng Xue braced himself with one hand and sprang up instantaneously, only to have a barrage of lasers follow suit.
Bang!
Feng Xue’s body was thrown again, but he was unfazed because...
He was wearing over twenty sets of armor!
The power of "Open Mouth and Close Eyes" lies in the fact that it does not require the "transformation" to be of an illusory nature, nor does it demand a certain strength after transformation; in other words, as long as it can be considered a Masked Rider transformation, even if it adds just a thin layer of iron, the effect can be triggered.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the Masked Rider Systems’ transformation devices are not stackable. Feng Xue is also a bug exploiter, using different systems’ Iron Armor, Squeezing Drivers, Masked Rider Systems, and Saint Seiya Training Suits to achieve the effect of a quadruple stacked armor.
But, after experiencing the game world, everything changed. Because he had obtained the powers "Follow the Map" and "Seven-orifice Exquisite."
Adding to that the Immortal Powers he acquired later, he used the Masked Rider data from the Eastern Country to create his own low-end, simplified, youth version of a mass-production Masked Rider design.
With this design, he then built dozens of wooden transformation devices that could stack transformations.
However, this came with a cost: he couldn’t truly create a Masked Rider-level energy supply system. Hence, there was a limit to how many layers of armor he could wear. With his current physique, wearing more than twenty-five layers would hinder his movement.
That being said, it was enough!
Once again blasted into an "Open Mouth and Close Eyes" state, Feng Xue silently calculated the remaining number of armors. After enduring over a dozen rounds of bombardment, his eyes finally began to catch up to the speed of the laser weapons.
Although he was still slower than the lasers, just like an ordinary person can dodge bullets—what you actually dodge is not the fired bullet, but the gunman’s aim and the potential trajectory.
Once he had memorized the position of every laser emitter within this steel sphere, evading became not so diffi...
"Bang!"
Alright, it was still very difficult.
Under a barrage as dense as one from a real-life Eastern Country bullet hell game, Feng Xue struggled to dodge the attacks. Fortunately, the "Open Mouth and Close Eyes" state also had a hidden setting that prevented him from being attacked, allowing him a few seconds of respite each time he was blown away.
The alloy walls here were truly tough to deal with. Even using his Crazy Fist Technique, with no time to gather strength, he couldn’t even make a dent. And these lasers, if they hit, would surely strip away one instance of "Open Mouth and Close Eyes."
"Is this the defensive system of a space station capable of sub-light-speed cruising?" Feng Xue was blasted away by another shot. By now, including the Iron Armor, Knight System, Squeezing Driver, and Saint Seiya Training Suit, he had only eight sets of armor left. But he wasn’t worried at all because...
"Time’s up!"
Feng Xue suddenly pointed one hand to the sky, and with a terrifying roar, the entire spherical cage shook intensely.
Then, Feng Xue was blasted away again.
"Cough, cough, okay, I admit I miscalculated the timing, but this is the last time!"
Feng Xue rose from his tumbling state, but this time, not a single laser could touch him, because in front of him, a majestic mech stood erect, stretching out a light shield.
The mech’s base color was classic metallic silver, with black and light golden outlines, like scorching flames, accentuating a battlefield-hardened temperament.
The special force field of the light barrier deflected every attack aimed at Feng Xue, it was just a pity that the walls of the cage were reliable enough in defense that not even a laser sweep could leave a scorch mark.
However, at this moment, such things were no longer important, for above his head, a gaping hole had declared the path to escape.
"World!"
"Voiceprint confirmed, driver, please board."
The mechanized voice of the World echoed in his ears, as the tractor beam shined on him, and as he ascended, Feng Xue suddenly had a strong sense of déjà vu...
"What Light Enabler?!"
Feng Xue had no time to throw the salt in his hand before he felt his body passing through some kind of membrane, and immediately, a brand new driving experience unfolded before him.
A light, tingling current swept over his body, and the exterior wall of the all-around cockpit lit up in sync. If he disregarded the parameters scrolling on the screen, Feng Xue felt the sensation was more like wearing a thin coat for battle.
He stretched out his right hand gently, and the angular mechanical arm on the screen synced its movements, expanding and contracting. To Feng Xue’s surprise, this movement even had tactile feedback!
"Is this the strongest mech technology in this world?" Feng Xue’s lips curved slightly upwards as he commanded,
"World, display the mech’s data, export the design blueprints, initiate the self-check system, and enter full armed combat-ready mode."
"Understood, please wait a moment."
Although it was said to be a brief wait, it was only about 0.3 seconds of delay before a multitude of data flowed before Feng Xue’s eyes. He didn’t rush to look at the blueprints, instead, asking World to package them into a compressed file for export. Meanwhile, his attention focused on the weapons and equipment—
"Variable weak nuclear force propulsion wings, force field shield, strong nuclear armor, anti-beam coating... Wow, what kind of zenith star science is this, no, not even zenith star people have this technology!"
A somewhat boastful smile appeared on Feng Xue’s face as he ordered,
"Deploy the gravity wave cabin, prepare the BGM."
"Please select a song."
"The number one mecha battle theme of this world, that has to be..."
Feng Xue controlled the mech to leap out of the steel cage, looking at the nearly overwhelming number of mass-produced mechs in front of him, his lips curved slightly upward—
"’Lion’!"
"Understood!"
