The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4626

The phase lord's appeared to have no choice but to expose his real body.

He was much larger than he initially appeared. Upon reaching a size that was comparable to a typical corvette, the giant nunser thankfully did not grow any bigger.

He already made for an intimidating sight, though!

Even if this so-called 'Trampler of Stars' did not match the scale of mighty battleships such as the Tower of Babel, it was still rather scary to witness his true body.

If he was already strong and difficult to deal with when he was in his miniature form, how much worse would he be when he was in his full form?

Ves had no doubt that the phase lord became a lot more dangerous after this transformation. He could clearly feel how the immense power of the Trampler of Stars became a lot less constrained.

Though the alien still had trouble with reforming his vital spatial barrier, his physical body resisted the incoming attacks with a level of durability that matched the toughness of first-class biomechs!

Every single part of the phase lord's body was naturally reinforced with phasewater, some parts more than others. Though the giant nunser was most certainly accumulating a steady amount of damage, all of that seemed a bit pale compared to the immense bulk and inherent resilience of his body.

The phase lord looked incredibly furious. He had been tormented by these expert mechs far too long.

The powerful alien had lost the ability to transmit a message with the disintegration of his suit of armor, but the phase lord needed no words to convey the absolute animosity he held towards the human machines, particularly the Amaranto and the First Sword!

However, just as the Trampler of Stars was about to initiate the second round of combat, the alien sensed something amiss and turned around.

While the phase lord had been fighting against the expert mechs launched from the Antonio Cross, the Mars and the alien battleship concentrated on their own dance!

The Mars initially held an advantage and managed to inflict a lot of damage onto the ruined front half of the Tower of Stars!

Already weakened by prior attacks as well as the flames spread by the Promethea, the Mars came like a wrecking ball and not only opened fire with its ARCEUS System, but also came even close so that it could shred more materials with its shotgun!

Each blast from the shotgun poked a lot of new holes in a wider expanse of the hull. When the Mars flew even closer and began to chop at the hull with its transphasic axe, it started to make brisk progress towards the more intact parts of the alien battleship.

However, everything changed once the Mars neared the crucial threshold. Just as Patriarch Reginald was ready to destroy more meaningful ship compartments, he sensed an acute threat and quickly pulled his Mars back out before a powerful series of explosions engulfed a part of the Tower of Stars!

It turned out that the aliens had already planted explosives that allowed them to detach the derelict half of their battleship.

The violent explosions destroyed so many structural parts at once that the battleship essentially snapped in half!

No one cared about the burning and utterly ruined half of the hybrid alien vessel. What mattered was the intact rear half which had lost a lot of deadweight all of a sudden.

Though the balance of the remnant was completely different, it was undeniable that the ship had also become a lot smaller and lighter all of a sudden!

The separation of so much deadweight allowed the shortened battleship to regain the initiative in the fight and radically speed up her movements as well as fill up the gap in her defenses.

When the Mars next attempted to attack the most vulnerable side of the shortened battleship, the powerful positron beams fired by the ARCEUS System struck one of the segmented energy shields produced by a generator that the aliens had moved to this side in an emergency.

Even if it looked as if the vulnerable side was only covered by a single layer or two layers of energy shields at best, this was still a lot more than what the Mars could ordinarily punch through!

Normally, that was enough to deny Patriarch Reginald Cross and the Mars the satisfaction of ripping the alien battleship apart, but this time was different.

Reginald had already primed the special packages loaded inside the shoulder-mounted missile launchers of his ace mech.

It only took a single thought to launch both missiles in quick succession!

One of the new experimental Stormsurge Missiles flew ahead of the other and crossed the short distance until it exploded against the segmented energy shield.

Instead of producing a conventional explosive blast, a violent electrical storm came to life, scrambling and overpowering the transphasic energy shield with much greater effectiveness than ordinary EMP attacks!

As the phasewater-enhanced storm faded, so did the energy shield. The generator responsible for projecting it had completely overloaded!

The second Stormsurge Missile advanced much slower, but that allowed it to strike the second segmented energy shield with the same electrical fury as before!

Just as the second layer disappeared, the Mars quickly charged through the momentary gap before the aliens had any chance of plugging it with another set of segmented energy shields!

"Hahahaha! I'm inside now!"

Patriarch Reginald had lots of reasons to feel ecstatic.

There was a huge difference between staying on one side of an energy shield and the other side of an energy shield!

Even though the Tower of Babel's formidable array of orven energy shields were still operational, none of them could hinder the ace hybrid mech any further as the Mars had moved well past their minimum projection range!

"Those Stormsurge Missiles were worth their weight in phasewater!"

Expensive as they may be, the value these experimental products provided far exceeded the loss of a couple of kilograms of phasewater and a heap of money.

This was because as long as Reginald successfully took down the alien battleship, the Golden Skull Alliance was bound to salvage materials worth far in excess of what the Cross Clan spent!

The Mars immediately took advantage of its superior positioning by firing all of its integrated energy weapons at several different primary gun batteries!

Several extremely powerful resonance-empowered positron beams struck the thick and wide bases of several massive kinetic cannon turrets.

Though the human-developed first-class armor resisted the attacks to an admirable degree, they could withstand repeated attacks from the ARCEUS System.
