Chapter 733 - 466: Revenge of Canis Major (Part 2)
"Mr. Zhang, I guess your final wish is to personally destroy all the demons in Shuqiu City, right?
But you must also know that, given your current state, it’s no longer possible. Not to mention there are still thousands of demons in the city, there are two Demon Generals alone!
However, I can help you! Help you fulfill this final wish by your own hands!"
After speaking, Wang Zhifan took out a tall and sturdy personal mecha from his spatial pocket, the top-tier battle mecha, Sagittarius, which he had procured at great expense from the Urban Planet World!
The majestic mecha landed steadily, and Wang Zhifan raised his hand to open the flip-type hatch, grabbing the bewildered Zhang Siqian from the ground and placing him into the pilot seat!
"Mr. Wang... What is this? What is it used for?"
In an instant, Zhang Siqian, with his disheveled hair and unruly demeanor, was at a loss.
He didn’t understand what Wang Zhifan was doing, or why he was suddenly being put inside this peculiar huge iron artifact, and immediately looked at the serious-faced person outside the mecha cockpit with bloodshot eyes full of confusion.
"I am helping you! Don’t you want to personally eliminate the demons in the city? Only this can help you achieve that now!"
With a serious expression, Wang Zhifan reiterated this main point, and before the confused Zhang Siqian could grasp the situation, began explaining how to operate the mecha:
"These two iron rods are called levers; the left controls flight direction and speed, the right is used for main firing and slashing... this is auxiliary firing and special slashing, which you probably won’t need... this is the evasion pedal, don’t mind it, just go head-on with the demons...
Remember, shortly, just pursue the demons and fire intensely, ignore everything else! Sagittarius is very powerful; it won’t take long to annihilate the demons here!"
In a brief explanation, Wang Zhifan quickly left the confused Zhang Siqian speechless, as he had never dealt with things related to mecha operation before and couldn’t really comprehend what Wang Zhifan was talking about.
But Wang Zhifan wasn’t planning to let him off, raising his hand to start Sagittarius’s remote teaching mode, then firmly closed the mecha hatch, leaving Zhang Siqian, destined to be a legendary mecha pilot, locked in the cockpit.
In the following short period, it looked like Calamity Realm native Zhang Siqian took over full control of Sagittarius, but in reality, the highest authority over Sagittarius was held only by Wang Zhifan.
Wang Zhifan was still able to control Sagittarius via the miniature mecha control board in his hand and communicate with the somewhat helpless Zhang Siqian inside.
In truth, what Wang Zhifan was doing was quite peculiar at the moment, almost like whimsically tormenting Zhang Siqian, this poor fellow not long for this world.
But his intentions were genuinely good, aiming to help Zhang Siqian annihilate the demons personally in his last moments through the Sagittarius mecha.
After all, many demons were still outside, and with Zhang Siqian’s remaining strength, taking down even one or two ordinary demons would be challenging; even granting him a Divine Weapon wouldn’t change much.
But Sagittarius is different, a battle mecha from a high-tech world that, when operating normally, really demands little from the operator, just basic movement and firing control are enough—currently, it’s the only means for this Calamity Realm native to achieve personal vengeance.
Thus, with Wang Zhifan’s robust push, the initially bewildered Zhang Siqian in the battle mecha gradually sensed Wang Zhifan’s earnestness, understood his intention, and started calmly learning to operate this peculiar iron artifact beyond his understanding.
Seeing him accept his arrangement, Wang Zhifan didn’t say much more, knowing that his friend’s condition was dire and time was short, so he only explained a few functionalities that Zhang Siqian would use next to help him get started on the controls.
At the same time, Wang Zhifan didn’t forget to use the power of ice to freeze the approaching demons, preventing them from interfering with the current teaching, while also preserving them for later use.
This phase didn’t last long.
After the initial misunderstanding and unfamiliarity, the scholarly and intelligent Zhang Siqian quickly grasped what he was doing, realizing that every move he made could prompt the giant iron figure enveloping him to take corresponding actions, akin to a special puppet weapon, and his learning speed began to soar.
Following Wang Zhifan’s suggestion, he directly learned the basic operations of mecha flight mode, then roughly grasped the mecha’s remote firing and close combat slashing capabilities, and after a brief familiarization, he piloted Sagittarius into the sky, officially activating mass destruction mode.
The first batch of demons violently destroyed by the mecha under Zhang Siqian’s control were naturally those previously frozen by Wang Zhifan.
Under the bombardment of electromagnetic cannons and high-energy lasers, these ordinary demons were even more fragile than thin sheets of paper, instantly torn into charred tiny fragments.
That was when Wang Zhifan, holding the miniature mecha control board on the ground, heard excited shouts from someone inside the mecha.
"Ah!!! Die! All of you die!!! Mr. Wang! This iron man is absolutely fantastic!!!"
"Haha, I knew it, no man can resist the allure of a mecha! Not even a non-technological native!"
Smiling subtly, following Wang Zhifan listened.
He realized Zhang Siqian had fully grasped the violent beauty of a mecha and started indulging in it.
This made him understand that there was no need to closely monitor the mecha control board in his hand anymore because Zhang Siqian had initially become a genuine mecha pilot by now.
Subsequent situations indeed validated his thoughts.
After enjoying the slaughter of the first wave of demons, Zhang Siqian seemed to have grasped the trick, rapidly enhancing his control level over Sagittarius.
Not only was he piloting the mecha faster, but he also began executing maneuvers that Wang Zhifan hadn’t taught, seemingly enjoying himself.
Regarding weapon usage, he made enormous progress; besides the main firing, he also wielded auxiliary weapons like tracking missiles and micro-nukes, annihilating the demons in the ruins without a trace, the violence escalating step by step.
Even Wang Zhifan trailing behind felt his scalp tingle, tempted to remotely lock some of the weapons inside the mecha, but ultimately, he refrained, allowing his native friend to vent and enjoy freely in his final hours.
The earth-shattering tumult in the ruins of Shuqiu City soon drew the attention of the two stationed Demon Generals.
They had never seen anything like Sagittarius mecha.
One immediately fled, having no courage to face down a micro-nuke.
The other was braver, but upon stealthily approaching within a kilometer of Sagittarius mecha, it was blown to pieces by Zhang Siqian’s highest intensity main firing attack.
Meanwhile, the fleeing one was also caught by tracking missiles and similarly blown to bits.
In conclusion, in the face of the top-tier personal mecha from the Urban Planet World, so-called Demon Generals and ordinary demons were no different, all ending up obliterated to dust.
This left Zhang Siqian, controlling the mecha, somewhat peeved; he originally wanted to use the High-Frequency Oscillation Great Cutting Saber against his foes, but they didn’t give him the chance, never lasting until the mecha could engage in close combat.
Finally, when all demons in the ruins of Shuqiu City were sent to the afterlife, Zhang Siqian landed the mecha, mustering his shaking body to exit the cockpit, seeing Wang Zhifan for the last time.
"Mr. Wang, thank you... I have no regrets now, time to reunite with my parents and wife below..."
Having fulfilled his wish, Zhang Siqian’s body, long tormented to its limits, finally succumbed.
In his last fleeting moments of life, his gaze rested on the tall mecha nearby, with a bit of a fascinated smile, he murmured:
"It’s... called... Sagittarius? What a... nice name..."
