Chapter 3909 Linking Technology
Ves felt as if he had gotten a glimpse of mech heaven.
Of all of the mechs developed by humanity, the ones designed and built by the MTA were unquestionably strong!
Although the first-class superstates could give the MTA a run for its money, the differences between the two were too big.
If the Greater Terran United Confederation and the New Rubarth Empire were back in their prime, then it may very well be possible for them to develop mechs that could compete against the ones fielded by the MTA.
However, this was the Age of Mechs, not the Age of Conquest. The glory days of the two super empires had long passed.
Not only did the Terrans and Rubarthans lose access to a lot of high-end resources, they also weren't allowed to utilize every form of technology mastered by the human race anymore.
The Big Two prohibited the use of a lot of powerful tech and taboo weapons, which meant that the first-class superstates could only develop mechs that were powerful up to a point.
As one of the two creators and enforcers of this rule, the MTA naturally gave itself an exemption. It could put anything it wanted in its own mechs!
The result was the appearance of mechs that better showcased the greater potential of this weapon platform.
The ones deployed against the super whale that had appeared from the fleshy egg showed a whole variety of tech and methods that Ves had never seen before except in highly-edited footage of battles that took place a long time ago.
Different from archival footage, the current live feed portrayed all of the powerful mechs in the open without any editing or censoring!
The fact that this battle was taking place at the same time and star system also made it a lot more exciting to Ves. He was directly involved in the events leading up to this collision!
"Damn, the MTA mechs are really giving the super whale a hard time!"
There were mechs that were armed with large positron cannons that unleashed a continuous stream of deadly particles that slowly burned and annihilated the enormous scales, hide and flesh of the super whale.
There were also mechs that fired deadly projectiles that not only caved in a decent amount of whale flesh, but also broke down into corrosive particles that poisoned and degraded the surrounding flesh!
There were also mechs that launched strange payloads that anchored into the open wounds of the super whale.
While these devices apparently did not deal any damage to the enormous beast, they generated a strong, localized energy field that disrupted the phasewater and spatial fluctuations in the vicinity!
These inhibitors visibly weakened the various means the super whale tried to employ in order to fend off its human attackers.
Just because the Paracelsus Optimus and her mech contingent were in the process of beating up the super whale did not mean the creature was defenseless.
As a possible clean whale that was larger and possibly more advanced than any other living phase whale, it had already started to activate a large number of powerful abilities!
Their power was so great that many of them could easily defeat the expeditionary fleet!
"This battle is on an entirely different scale from the Battle of Purgatory!"
The earlier engagement was relatively constrained. The fish-whales were not that powerful and the mechs fielded by the Golden Skull Alliance were way too weak compared to the machines of the MTA.
This was different. The super whale was no mere fish-whale. By virtue of its immense body and powerful organs, all of its abilities possessed the power to wipe out armies and cities!
For example, one of the deadlier means of attack was breaking space to the point where an enormous spatial tear appeared that could split anything in half.
The spatial barriers summoned by the super whale were also as tough if not tougher than the energy shield deployed by the Paracelsus Optimus!
It was a pity that the super whale didn't even have an opportunity to show its full strength.
The harpoons along with the spatial inhibition devices that the MTA mechs sunk into the whale monster's massive body already crippled much of the super whale's spatial abilities!
It didn't matter how much phasewater it stored in its body or how much energy it was able to channel through its organs.
Any ability related to spatial manipulation automatically weakened before it took effect!
Even if a warp effect or spatial storm struck the mechs circling around the giant whale, the energy shields and inhibition fields provided by numerous auxiliary mechs negated the deadliness of these attacks even further!
If the spatial attacks had any power left after all of these rounds of weakening, then the extraordinarily resilient first-class multipurpose mechs could easily withstand the damage!
For a moment, Ves felt sorry for the creature that only had a short moment to enjoy its entry into the main reality.
"This super whale must feel incredibly miserable for fighting against the wrong opponent."
It was hard for the super whale to deal any effective damage against all of the MTA mechs. With the Interstellar Harpooners continuing to anchor and pin the enormous body down, the creature could not even leave without destroying these annoying first, but how could it do so when its main forms of attack were all weakened by successive measures?
The coordination and the various means utilized against the super whale already told Ves that this wasn't the first time the Paracelsus Optimus hunted down a phase whale!
Granted, the battlecarrier and her mech contingent probably never fought against a whale that was this big and powerful, but their specs were so high that not even a resurrected whale tyrant could overcome their resistance!
The only upside was that the 3000 MTA mechs still weren't strong enough to quickly go through all of the flesh that covered the more crucial parts of its body. It would take a long time for the machines to overcome all of this natural protection even if they concentrated their efforts.
Seeing that the mechs had already crippled its vaunted spatial attacks, the super whale eventually put down its pride and gave up on relying on them to free itself from its predicament.
"The whale is beginning to get serious!"
The super whale slowly opened up its enormous mouth and began to unleash an energy spray that looked highly familiar to Ves and the rest.
The energy spray unleashed by the super whale was powerful enough to burn an entire continent!
It was so energetic that it blinded the sensors of the scout ship in an instant, forcing the crew to make adjustments.
When the live feed went back to normal, Ves was able to see the aftermath of this powerful outburst.
