Hong Mo watched Xie Po, who then aimed all his cannons at Hong Mo. Countless laser missiles shot out, instantly covering the sky.
Hong Mo's mechanical sword wings on his back slowly expelled gas, and he shot straight into the laser missiles. His body constantly rolled and dodged, each dodge and roll precisely evading missiles and lasers. When unable to dodge, Hong Mo crossed his mechanical arms, striking the mechanical cannons without any effect, his figure continuing forward.
Xie Po was stunned. He then spoke, "Has the hardness increased? Or is it due to compressed mechanical materials? But I am the original Mechanical God."
Then, the cannons on his shoulders fired countless missiles and lasers, seemingly without limit, firing one after another. Seeing this, Hong Mo slowly straightened his arms, gathering energy at the muzzles. Two bronze cannons were mounted on Hong Mo's shoulders, and cannon muzzles grew on both sides of his legs. Six cannons simultaneously gathered light, and six beams of light shot out from them.
Instantly, as Hong Mo's body rotated, the light beams followed, clearing away countless missiles and lasers with their sweep. However, Xie Po's shoulders continued to fire as if they were endless and free.
Hong Mo stopped rotating his body, and the mechanical sword wings on his back slowly unfurled. Swords, like floating cannons, shot countless lasers from their tips, which then coiled around Hong Mo's body. Hong Mo then charged straight towards Xie Po.
Seeing Hong Mo in this state, Xie Po's chest and body-side cannons collided, instantly forming a triangular cannon muzzle. The muzzle then fired yellow ripple light waves directly at Hong Mo.
Hong Mo reacted, and with a thought, the surrounding sword wing floating cannons simultaneously fired laser beams. Eight to nine laser beams shot out and clashed with Xie Po's yellow ripple waves. At the center of Hong Mo's back, his wings opened like airplane wings, but they were equipped with missiles. Hong Mo's missiles instantly fired, piercing through the light waves and heading towards Xie Po's light waves.
Xie Po did not pay much attention, thinking a few missiles wouldn't break his defense. But the next second, the missiles reached his cannon muzzles. They then converged from above, below, left, and right, striking the cannon mechanical parts, sparks flying and crackling sounds echoing through space.
Xie Po exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?"
Hong Mo replied, "Do you think I'm still the same as I was thousands of years ago? Humans evolve. I learned new ways to master machinery from my other self and created different mechanical weapons. These missiles have a shattering effect. Any machinery, as long as it comes into contact, will be damaged in the explosion."
Xie Po slowly discarded his three cannon muzzles, and his arms transformed, with the cannons on his back connecting to his arms. The Mechanical God never lacked weapons; he had only broken three. He still had more on his back.
Then, both arms transformed into giant drills. Xie Po's drill arms appeared and shot out towards Hong Mo with booming sounds. Hong Mo also transformed his hands into drill arms. The drills spun, and a silver vortex constantly coiled around the mechanical drills.
Then, Hong Mo thrust out his drill arms. The drills collided, and Hong Mo's drill arms directly shattered Xie Po's drill missiles. At the same time, his body moved towards Xie Po.
Xie Po looked at the approaching mechanical drills, still shocked, but now he needed to defend. With a thought, one of his wings on his back moved above his head and folded down, creating a mechanical barrier that enclosed Xie Po.
Hong Mo's drills collided but only produced sparks, unable to breach the defense. Just as Hong Mo was about to make another move, he retreated. Countless lasers shot out from below Xie Po's body, attacking Hong Mo from all directions.
Fortunately, Hong Mo had left beforehand. The lasers collided, creating a massive void that seemed to devour everything. Then, the mechanical barrier opened, and Xie Po spoke, "It's empty. A pity. This move could have sealed you in the Sea of Space, but too bad."
"I know you too well, so I understand all your moves. This is useless to me."
Hong Mo said with a sigh. Xie Po nodded. As former close friends, they understood each other too well. But what surprised Xie Po was that Hong Mo's strength was even greater than his own. He couldn't believe it; he was the first Mechanical God! His entire system and mechanical equipment were top-tier, and he had been the manager of machinery since birth. Now, he was being crushed by his former friend.
"It's time to end this!"
Xie Po said indifferently. He didn't want to drag it out any longer. He wanted to defeat Hong Mo, to prove his viewpoint was correct, and that Hong Mo's viewpoint was wrong.
Hong Mo felt the same. In truth, neither of their viewpoints was wrong. Technology benefited humanity but also fostered its laziness. Why couldn't they understand each other?
"DL7 Ray!"
Xie Po attacked first. All his cannons converged to form a tank cannon. At the same time, beams of light entered the cannon from Xie Po's body, as if charging up.
Seeing this, Hong Mo dismantled his mechanical body and reassembled it in the sky. A mechanical longbow appeared in his hand. His palm connected to it, and sword wings on the mechanical longbow began to glow, linking together like the Big Dipper, but there were eighteen in total, all needing to be activated to unleash the attack.
Both were charging up simultaneously; this was the decisive blow.
A blue-green halo appeared on Hong Mo's longbow, with four lights already illuminated, and five more sword wing lights yet to be completed.
Meanwhile, Xie Po seemed to have finished charging. He directly fired a black and red light beam-column towards Hong Mo.
The surrounding space cracked, and rings of spatial black holes appeared, with emptiness slowly spreading.
Hong Mo was still charging, but the black and red light wave was already upon him. It instantly exploded. Xie Po exclaimed, "It's over. Goodbye, my friend. My ideology is the correct one."
"No, it's you who is over. Goodbye, my friend!"
A voice echoed from within the explosion. Xie Po looked at the front of the explosion with a horrified expression. In the explosion, Hong Mo's figure slowly emerged. His mechanical light wings unfurled and shone. His longbow's sword wings were now fully illuminated. In front of the longbow, the blue-green halo transformed into a circular shield. Hong Mo pulled his arm, and the entire mechanical longbow shot out. As it was fired, the sword wings continuously assembled, and a blue-green longsword-shaped longbow with a sword tip flew towards Xie Po.
Seeing this, Xie Po exclaimed, "Impossible! My strongest move, how could I lose? I must prove my ideology is correct. Evil Spirit Grudge!"
"Hahaha! The real fear is only about to begin!"
Then, his body was pierced by the giant sword-longbow, and the Mechanical God's body exploded.
Hong Mo said, "Goodbye, my dear friend!"
A massive explosion occurred, with mechanical parts shattering and flying. Then, Hong Mo's body issued a warning. Hong Mo said, "Not enough energy? But I still have to persist!"
He then left the battlefield space. The space slowly recovered, and Hong Mo landed before Chen Tian and the others. His mechanical body seemed to have stopped operating, but fortunately, Hong Mo still maintained his human form, so he wouldn't be affected by a shutdown.
"Now, only Pigeon is left!"
"Yes! He is also facing his fated enemy!"
"The Evil Spirit race initially only existed as energy bodies. It was only when human malevolent thoughts attached to them that they became a new race. Whether it was Xie Mei, Xie Tianyi, or Xie Po, they were all originally native humans!"
"It doesn't matter. People have their own choices, and their paths are decided by themselves. Moreover, fate cannot be escaped. When concepts differ, conflict arises, and they eventually become opponents."
The four continued their conversation. Meanwhile, at Pigeon's location, Pigeon spoke, "Long time no see, Xie Mie."
"Long time no see, Divine Shield Bearer!"
