Chapter 118: The Blade Across Endless Space · The Arrival of the Ancestor of the Song Clan
Chapter 118: The Blade Across Endless Space · The Arrival of the Ancestor of the Song Clan
It's quite ironic, really. Song MingSong, a third-stage ember ship captain from a prestigious family, had never once directly experienced the overwhelming power of a fourth-stage being in over two hundred years. This had always been a small, nagging regret for him.
Back when he had just ascended to the third stage, he was given a secret mission by his family. Although the team was led by a Deer Chasing Ship, he made a critical mistake that ultimately doomed the mission before he could even take action.
The aftermath was predictable: family punishment and exile from the Dingshai Star Domain. His entire family eventually made their way to this White Tower Floating Land.
Today, Song MingSong finally had the chance to face his regret, but reality quickly set in. The overwhelming power of a fourth-stage being was not something to be taken lightly. In the face of such terrifying pressure, he found it hard to even think of resistance.
From the black mecha above, a cold voice echoed.
"Anyone who dares to challenge the might of the Molo Royal Family and kills one of its members shall be punished severely!"
With that, the massive thousand-meter war sword in his right hand lifted slightly, and a colossal blade of light shot out from the tip, slicing downward toward the Roaring Lion ship.
Song MingSong, who had studied the Molo race in detail a month ago, understood the Molo language perfectly.
He suppressed his fear and did not dodge the incoming blade. Instead, his gaze shifted to the side of the Roaring Lion's main control room.
There, a small, floating coin hovered in the air, shimmering with a strong red glow. The coin was surrounded by an intensely sharp blade aura.
Staring at the coin for a moment, Song MingSong's lips curled into a smile. His body surged with dark energy, and a small sphere of dark energy shot toward the coin.
At the same time, he began to murmur.
"Old friend, I can feel your unmatched sharpness. Let's see how much faster your blade has become compared to fifty years ago!"
Deep within the Blood Blade Pirate Group's base, the five figures of Song Chi and his companions, who were near the entrance to the secret realm, paused. Behind them, the four figures of Song Chao and his team also halted.
They all heard a loud, ringing voice that echoed throughout the pirate base, lingering for a long time.
"Unworthy descendant of the Dingshai Song Clan, Song MingSong, humbly invites the Ancestor to descend!"
"Unworthy descendant of the Dingshai Song Clan..."
"Dingshai Song Clan..."
The lingering voice was also heard by the Molo royal inside the black Molo Evading Space Mecha, causing his expression to change dramatically.
However, his actions did not stop. Clenching his teeth, he pressed the war sword down even faster, determined to split the Roaring Lion ship in two.
The terrifying sword light was surrounded by black spatial rifts, which spread out as the fourth-stage energy fluctuated. Without the seal of the Void Prison, the nearby space was completely defenseless against the fourth-stage Molo Evading Space Mecha, as fragile as paper, easily torn apart.
Swish!
At that moment, a massive spatial rift over five kilometers wide suddenly appeared in the starry void, tens of thousands of meters away from the Blood Blade Pirate Group's base. A blade of light nearly five kilometers long sliced through space, carrying an indescribable, overwhelming power. In an instant, it traversed the vast distance and arrived above the Blood Blade Pirate Group's base.
Compared to this five-kilometer-long blade of light, the Molo Evading Space Mecha was like a mere child.
Inside the mecha, the fourth-stage Molo royal was filled with fear. He quickly raised his left arm, and the black mecha followed suit, lifting its left arm as well. The claw on the arm glowed brightly, forming a nearly three-kilometer-long illusory claw in the air above, ready to intercept the five-kilometer blade of light.
Buzz!
The blade of light and the illusory claw collided, sending a violent shockwave of energy in all directions.
The terrifying energy shockwave caused the numerous spatial rifts around them to expand further, and the spatial winds within began to spread outward.
Two seconds later, the illusory claw shattered, and the remaining blade of light struck the top of the Molo Evading Space Mecha.
Sizzle!
The intense friction produced sparks that flew in all directions, and the black mecha, unable to control its descent, plummeted straight down.
Boom!
The impact caused a quake-like tremor that spread throughout the base. The remaining buildings of the Blood Blade Pirate Group crumbled and were incinerated by the scorching energy wave. Thus, the entire Blood Blade Pirate Group was erased from history.
Looking at the Raging Lion cruiser, it still floated intact at a height of a thousand meters. In front of the warship, a ghostly mecha projection hovered silently.
Compared to the Moro royal family's Void Escape Mecha, this mecha projection stood at over ten thousand meters tall, enveloped in a pale white repulsion shield. It held a light green, three-thousand-meter-long blade, and dragon-whale shadows swirled around its body.
Even as just a projection, the pressure it emitted was enough to crush the Moro Void Escape Mecha.
Inside the Raging Lion, Song Ming Song's heart raced. It was this mecha projection that had just saved the Raging Lion from the sword light. It was also this projection that gave him the confidence to carry out his plan, even knowing that the Blood Blade Pirate Group was backed by the Moro royal family.
Instinctively standing up from the main control panel, Song Ming Song raised his hands and said with a trembling voice:
"Unworthy descendant Song Ming Song, greets the Ancestor!"
In front of him, the ten-thousand-meter mecha projection slightly turned, its gaze lowering to the Raging Lion.
After a two-second stare, the mecha projection nodded lightly.
"You did well this time. After everything is over, take your people home!"
Hearing these words, Song Ming Song could no longer hold back. His firm eyes welled up with tears, and his voice became hoarse as he replied:
"As the Ancestor commands!"
...
With that, the ten-thousand-meter mecha projection's head turned sharply, refocusing on the black Void Escape Mecha in front.
"Since you've come down personally, don't rush to leave. When the duchy fell your clan, the Song family was not yet powerful. Now that we have this rare opportunity, come with me to Dinghai. Our ancestral land is in need of a powerful guardian."
As the words ended, the right arm of the Moro Void Escape Mecha, which had been behind its back, snapped with a sudden crack. The Void Escape device it was about to activate was destroyed.
Inside the Void Escape Mecha, the Moro royal family member, who had just recently reached the fourth stage, was filled with extreme fear. If seeing the fifth-stage existence as just a projection gave him a glimmer of hope, now he was utterly desperate.
The Moro mecha was called a Void Escape Mecha because of the special Void Escape device developed by their clan. With this device, the mecha could easily slip into spatial rifts and use the large number of Space Stabilization Stones within to travel at extreme speeds through these rifts, making it a perfect tool for escape and ambush.
Due to this device, the Morning Star Duchy's grand expedition thousands of years ago was repeatedly ambushed by the Moro clan, causing heavy losses to the expeditionary force. They were forced to use a large number of Spatial Collapse Bombs for indiscriminate bombings.
When a Spatial Collapse Bomb detonated, it generated intense spatial compression and cutting forces. Even if the Moro Void Escape Mecha entered the void, it would still be flattened by the spatial compression. This led to the destruction of over 90% of the Moro clan's high-level combat forces and ultimately secured victory in the grand expedition.
Initially, the Moro royal family member had planned to escape into the void, but with the Void Escape device destroyed, his chances of a clean getaway were slim.
While there were many spatial rifts around, none of them could accommodate a mecha over two kilometers in size.
Realizing this, the Moro royal family member's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the deep silver horn on his head began to glow.
However, this action was immediately detected by the ten-thousand-meter mecha projection.
As energy surged around the mecha projection, the Moro royal family member inside the Void Escape Mecha spat out a mouthful of blood, and the silver horn's glow dimmed completely.
As for the Moro royal family member himself, his entire body's energy was sealed, turning him into a helpless fish.
The chest of the Void Escape Mecha opened with a gentle click, and the fourth-stage Moro royal family member, gritting his teeth, stepped out of the cockpit.
Strangely, despite the hatred and ferocity in his eyes, his body movements seemed to be beyond his control. He not only opened the cockpit door on his own but also bound his hands, waiting for the Song family members to apprehend him.
Inside the Raging Lion, Song Ming Song guessed that his ancestor had used some special control mechanism, so he didn't think much of it. The mecha giant projection in front of him turned back and spoke again:
"This projection won't last long. Before it dissipates, I will seal this fourth-stage Moro clan member. You can take him and the Void Escape Mecha back with you.
Song MingSong nodded, acknowledging his understanding, then turned his gaze to the knife coin beside him, which was now glowing with an intense red light. The coin was already riddled with cracks, and its imminent shattering was evident.
However, a thought suddenly struck him, and he shifted his attention to the massive, two-thousand-meter-tall black mech. His expression turned troubled.
Noticing this, the weathered voice from the mech’s projection spoke again.
“Look at my forgetfulness, I almost forgot that this is a Tier 4 mech!”
With that, he focused his will, activating a special component on the mech. Song MingSong watched as a beam of orange light shot out from the mech’s projection. When the light touched the Moho Duntong mech, the mech began to rapidly shrink, eventually transforming into a palm-sized miniature model.
Seeing this incredible feat, Song MingSong’s eyes widened with curiosity.
But the “Patriarch” of the Song Clan from Dingshai showed no intention of explaining. He tossed the miniaturized mech model to Song MingSong, and the mech’s projection dimmed further.
Then, the projection flashed again, this time revealing another knife coin, also glowing with a red light.
“Use this second summoning knife coin to place it in the Moho Secret Realm. Then, destroy the entrance to the realm. I will find a way to locate and enter it.”
Taking the second knife coin, Song MingSong asked, puzzled:
“Patriarch, won’t the clan send anyone over?”
“All Tier 4 and above clan members are currently occupied. A Tier 3 Flameheart Ship Captain would be of little use. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to put you and your descendants at such risk.”
With that, the weathered voice cut off Song MingSong’s further questions and continued:
“Alright, we can discuss the rest when you return to the clan. For now, your main task is to return home safely. The Moho Royal Family likely has hidden Tier 4 combatants, so it’s best not to linger here!”
“Yes…”
Song MingSong’s words trailed off as the knife coin shattered completely. As the coin broke, the ten-thousand-meter mech giant’s projection also dissipated into the wind, vanishing without a trace.
Watching the mech projection disappear, Song MingSong felt a sense of loss. However, the thought of returning to his clan filled him with immense joy.
Fifty years, almost fifty years since he had left his clan. Now, Song MingSong could finally return to his family with pride. How could he not be elated?
His gaze fixed on the sealed, sleeping Tier 4 Moho royal and the miniaturized mech model in his hand, Song MingSong’s heart burned with excitement.
These were genuine Tier 4 combatants. Though the Moho Duntong mech could only be operated and driven by the Moho race, it still counted as a Tier 4 combatant. This was a significant gain.
These were true Tier 4 units, not mere Level 40 enhanced soldier puppets. For the Song Clan of Dingshai, Tier 4 was the pinnacle of combat power.
Song MingSong naturally thought about the clan’s rewards. Although the Moho royal and the Moho Duntong mech were taken by the Patriarch, he, as the planner of this operation, deserved some credit. The secret realm would be used to atone for his past mistakes, but the Moho Duntong mech should earn him some rewards from the clan.
Thinking of this, Song MingSong felt a surge of happiness.
Shaking his head, Song MingSong pushed aside his thoughts. Following the Patriarch’s advice, the Moho Royal Family likely had hidden Tier 4 combatants, and he needed to get his family to safety as quickly as possible.
...
In the Moho Secret Realm, Song Chi, who had entered with his grandmother, quickly adapted to the slight disorientation. Having ascended to Tier 1, he now had a higher resistance to the side effects of spatial transitions and teleportation.
Beside him, Song Lin, Song Wen, and Song You still had their eyes tightly closed, clearly still adjusting to the new environment.
However, Song Chi’s mind was not on the unique surroundings of the secret realm. Instead, he was reflecting on what he had seen through the Fire Holly soldier puppet.
Especially the projection of the ten-thousand-meter mech giant. Though he didn’t know its true identity, the faint dragon whale apparitions around the mech’s projection indicated that it was a powerful figure from the Song Clan of Dingshai.
