The massive mecha wreckage suddenly plummeted from the sky, smashing into the ground and creating a huge crater. The ensuing fierce wind howled and raged, bending nearby large trees, shaking their leaves crazily, and bringing flying sand and rocks that stung faces painfully.

Gu Ningzhi raised his hand to shield his eyes, regretting his hasty decision to come here without driving a mecha, which could at least have spared him from this sandstorm "blowout." He unfortunate tasted a mouthful of sand and stones, blaming his third brother in his heart.

Gu Ningxuan maneuvered his mecha to a steady landing, his chest heaving violently, and sweat continuously appeared on his forehead, as if he hadn’t yet awoken from the exhilarating battle before. His gaze slightly shifted, discovering the mecha had over 30% wear and less than 75% energy remaining, a bitter smile unconsciously surfaced on his lips. He was currently penniless, unable to sustain a mecha...

Though feeling somewhat disheartened, considering he at least intercepted those escapees, and the students seemed unharmed, it was already the best outcome. As for personal gains and losses, in his view, it was nothing worth mentioning.

"I have a feeling... the Alliance’s world might change color..." Gu Ningxuan glanced worriedly at the closed secret passage, took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, "I just hope it’s only my overthinking."

Ordinarily, he would definitely inform his dad about this discovery, letting him decide. But now, things were not as they used to be; after that incident, his dad no longer wanted him as a son and said he never wished to see him again. Having lost his identity as Admiral Gu Qidong’s third son, Gu Ningxuan could only dream of meeting his dad to inform him of this news.

Feeling somewhat dispirited, Gu Xiaosan closed his eyes for a brief rest in the driver’s seat, then opened the cockpit to send the mecha back to the space hub, finally having the time to check on those unfortunate students... hopefully, they wouldn’t be in trouble.

The previous battle was too intense, and he couldn’t guarantee there was no collateral damage. Now it was a matter of luck.

Fortunately, these students were lucky; apart from abrasions, concussions, or fractures, none had fatal injuries, which implied all the students survived. Gu Ningxuan felt a sudden relief upon discovering this.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a faint sound of footsteps with his keen hearing. He immediately reached for a gun; if anything seemed wrong, the muzzle’s flame could send someone to see the King Yan, "Who is it? Come out!"

Gu Ningzhi, who was named by his third brother, felt quite innocent. Upon seeing the familiar figure, he almost blurted out, "Old man, what are you doing here." However, Gu Ningzhi wasn’t an ordinary person; he forced himself to swallow back those words.

His old man was safely settled in the military department, even if he grew wings, he couldn’t possibly have arrived here so quickly. Since this person wasn’t his old man and was at the location of Gu Xiaosan... the answer was self-evident.

"Gu... Ningxuan?" Gu Ningzhi hesitantly called out, seeing the other hesitated briefly before stowing away his weapon and nodding solemnly. In that instant, Gu Ningzhi was utterly shaken! Damn, his third brother was actually staring at the old man’s face—

Why did his younger brother turn into the old man’s form? Is that capsule really so defying? Damn it, he began to regret handing the medicine over to Little Squid for research. If he had known it had such an interesting effect, he would have tried it himself!

"Good day, sir." Gu Ningxuan masked his face with indifference, seemingly oblivious to the mecha wreckage surrounding him and the unmistakable smell of blood, "Has everything been resolved on your end, sir?"

"Yes, not only resolved but very fortunately survived as well." Gu Ningzhi shrugged and then teased, "Really can’t tell what relationship Mr. Gu Ningxuan has with the current Admiral Gu Qidong, but to... turn into his likeness..."

Gu Ningxuan frowned, adopting a "I don’t want to engage with you" cold demeanor, silently treating the wounds of the unconscious students. Getting the cold shoulder from his younger brother, Gu Ningzhi could only touch his nose awkwardly, signaling his embarrassment.

He hadn’t yet revealed his identity; his younger brother naturally couldn’t know he was his long-lost second brother, so it was normal to be snubbed, "Don’t you need to support your superior? She seems to have taken most of the firepower..."

Gu Ningzhi slightly raised his eyebrows, asking Gu Ningxuan upon vaguely spotting the mecha battling endlessly in the sky. Gu Xiaosan paused for a moment, then continued his logistical work, murmuring lowly, "That person... don’t worry about her..."

Although he wasn’t sure why he felt this way, he instinctively chose to trust her. Plus, she probably wouldn’t appreciate someone jumping out to meddle at this time, right? In some ways, Gu Xiaosan knew Su Jiameng very well.

Although she viewed the enemy’s skill level as inferior, even to those players who once pursued her, having been away from mecha for so long, Su Jiameng was nostalgic for the feeling of freely piloting a mecha, wanting to prolong it as much as possible.

"I said, none of you can go back!" The Military God weighed the laser particle sword in hand, executing a helical interception to beautifully slice the opponent apart, already buffering to obliterate them with an energy cannon, leaving no debris.

"Suddenly, I really want to pilot a complete Military God; that feeling would be incredible, right?" Su Jiameng secretly thought in her heart.

Military God was born for war and combat, and its weaponry’s destructive power was terrifying, far surpassing the current incomplete version in comparison... However, Su Jiameng secretly hoped she’d never have the opportunity in this lifetime to pilot a fully equipped Military God...

"Haha, time’s running out, we’ve played enough, let’s settle this quickly!" Su Jiameng seemingly returned to the final stop of her second life, luring all mechas to one place, then sublimating everyone with an energy cannon... (To be continued.
