Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 580 - 566 Divine Freak’s First Battle
"Legion Commander, we have detected a humanoid mecha floating in the orbit of Sumer Star,"
Lai Zhicun nodded, looking at the mecha with a mix of surprise and curiosity.
The fleet had not yet completed its exit from the warp bubble, and the first ships to emerge were on high alert. This was a testament to the Star Alliance Fleet's long-trained high military quality, and Lai Zhicun was not particularly worried about this mecha with unknown intentions, as mechas were generally seen as impractical combat weapons that didn't make it to the forefront of battle.
However, Lai Zhicun heard a cry from the public communication channel.
"Lai Zhicun, meet your death!"
The mecha, only about twenty meters tall, suddenly raised its shield. A frosty blue light converged in the center of the shield and then, with a boom, struck one of the heavy cruisers from the 95th Legion.
The form of the attack was unrecognizable, piercing straight through the heavy cruiser. The freshly exited cruiser hadn't had time to activate its energy shield and the vicious beam fired by the Divine Monster bypassed the cruiser's armor completely, blowing it apart in an instant.
"All ships, raise shields," Lai Zhicun commanded with a frown, fear creeping into his heart.
That voice, he had heard it countless times in his dreams—it was Xu Lanzhou!
"So it's you? Even alone, you chose to fight to the death here, true to your style," Lai Zhicun said emotionlessly, yet his heart was stirred.
This excitement was pathological; he was deeply infatuated with Xu Lanzhou, and now, as he was about to bury him with his own hands, a grotesque pleasure filled him. The love he couldn't have seemed all the more beautiful as he was about to extinguish it himself.
"First squadron, fire in formation; second and third squadrons, flank left and right for encirclement; fourth squadron, guard the following ships," Lai Zhicun ordered. After all, he was no ordinary person, as his military talents provided a strong basis for his utilization and rapid advancement under Xiao Yu.
The 95th Legion was one of the most experienced in warfare within the Star Alliance Fleet. Even though they had just lost a cutting-edge heavy cruiser, to them, losses were a normal part of war. What mattered was to overpower the enemy's momentum and defeat them.
Dozens of warships aimed their cannons at the Divine Monster Mech, and various colored lights burst forth, attacking the formidable enemy. Xu Shisan had anticipated being focused by fire, so right after she fired her shot, she immediately used unpredictable space maneuvers.
The scene descended into chaos, with a swarm of warships firing at a single small mecha. Nevertheless, the Star Alliance Fleet was formidable. Not only did they have well-trained crew and soldiers, but their overall combat operations were also assisted by AI systems, exceptionally good at tracking moving targets and predicting flight trajectories.
Xu Shisan piloted the Divine Monster akin to playing the old Earth game "Raiden", seizing every chance to dodge the barrage of fire. However, the density of the Star Alliance's fire was overwhelming, with countless shots hitting their mark, with laser fire being the most frequent and light beam attacks coming in second.
"Huh, the shield is that strong?" Lai Zhicun expressed his surprise. Not even a warship, after taking so many hits, would have much of a shield left. Yet, the mecha continued to flit through space like a butterfly through flowers, its path completely elusive.
Although many of the shots had hit their target, they seemed to disappear into the void without much effect.
"It shouldn't be like this, even if a warship is hit by such a strong artillery strike, its entire shield should be broken," the generals of the 95th Legion discussed among themselves.
To have a heavy cruiser taken out by this mysterious mech upon their first engagement was indeed embarrassing. Now, even with such luxurious firepower, they still couldn't handle this small mech, which made it hard for them to accept at the moment.
Xu Shisan sensed the energy shield activated by the mech; despite the artillery causing no small amount of shock and impact, the weakening effect on the mech was quite limited. The mech's shield regeneration rate was still higher than the damage intake, which meant that no matter how much the enemy managed to damage, as long as it was within the threshold, the Divine Monster could continuously recover.
After Xu Shisan had calculated this, her confidence soared: "We can win!"
She pushed the mech's engines, and because she did not have star energy to utilize, she couldn't use some of the Divine Monster's capabilities, such as the highly useful Instant Flash.
However, charging at high speed to attack enemy ships was already an extremely powerful attack.
Xu Shisan controlled the mech and raised the large shield in her hand; after dodging the incoming artillery fire, she abruptly changed direction and smashed the shield hard against the energy shield of a warship. In the moment of impact, a large amount of energy burst forth from the shield, as if the strength of the smash was amplified several times over.
However, this fierce blow apparently did not break through any shields.
Instead, the defensive cannons mounted on the ships all targeted the Divine Monster.

A fierce bombardment!
The Divine Monster wasn't injured by this round of simultaneous fire, but the propelling force of the barrage was still considerable, pushing the Divine Monster away. Then more warships found their shooting windows and tilted a massive barrage of artillery fire towards the Divine Monster; this time, like a kite with its string cut, it started to be pushed around in the air by people.
Xu Shisan tried hard to maneuver the mech out of this concentrated area of firepower, but she found she could barely do anything; just a few seconds after escaping, several more shots came flying in, pushing her to the next position, where another few warships fired, pushing her out again.
This was a clear demonstration of the Star Alliance Fleet's very high military capability. With the close cooperation of all crew members, and with AI of a particularly high level of computation and intelligence, the Star Alliance warships were like seals juggling a ball, batting the Divine Monster Mech piloted by Xu Shisan around.
"Even so, there's no obvious weakening of the shield?" It was at this time that Lai Zhicun finally took serious notice. He understood all too well how terrifying the firepower output of the 95th Legion was, yet it had hardly caused any significant damage to the mech's shields, clearly a technology that surpassed the Star Alliance's comprehension.
"If this mech could be taken back to the Star Alliance, it would surely yield a high return and receive the Chancellor's praise; the Chancellor's dream of dominating the Galaxy would no longer be a problem."
But Xu Shisan was becoming somewhat anxious. Subject to such terrifying firepower attacks, although the Divine Monster could hold up temporarily, sooner or later the shield would be breached. Moreover, every time she approached the enemy's warship, she would be blasted away by their artillery. She could fly fast, but the crossfire network created by these warships was just as terrifying.
Not being able to take down another warship soon enough made Xu Lanzhou worried about the situation changing.
