#173 - Chapter 173: The pilot of the Huanyue Empire? Just kill him!
"As you command! Your Majesty!"
Below, the kneeling pilots lowered their heads and shouted in unison, their voices echoing within the palace!
Subsequently, they rose swiftly and retreated in an orderly fashion, their footsteps fading away outside the hall.
Upon the magnificent throne, the young empress wore a serene expression, only her slightly trembling eyelashes betraying her quiet, melancholy sigh.
This daily charade of feigned majesty was truly exhausting.
In reality.
In fact, the order issued to assassinate Wang Chu within the [Abyssal Ruins] was by no means her own desire.
In her eyes, wasn't a new pilot of Wang Chu's exceptional talent a treasure among humanity?
Still thinking of killing him?
Wasn't that utter nonsense?
Know this!
Humanity's common enemy is the Abyss!
Not to mention, there had been instances of alien invasions in the past.
Whenever life and death were at stake, only when all Blue Star pilots joined hands, stood shoulder to shoulder, and shared a common hatred could they survive.
But...
Although she, Signos, was the Empress of the Illusory Moon Empire, she was not her own master and had no choice.
She was merely a puppet pushed to the forefront, possessing the legitimate imperial bloodline of the Illusory Moon Empire.
"I suppose my uncles and elders didn't anticipate that Wang Chu's growth rate would be so rapid, did they?"
Signos mused to herself, a hint of complexity flashing in her beautiful eyes.
In recent months, the Illusory Moon Empire had been collecting information about Wang Chu every day.
Everyone discovered...
That Wang Chu's strength improved by leaps and bounds almost every few days!
This growth rate far exceeded the Illusory Moon Empire's expectations!
Back when a vice-principal of the Illusory Moon Empire's Mecha Martial Academy went to recruit him, it was just a minor conflict between the two!
The Illusory Moon Empire's officials didn't take it to heart.
Just a budding genius?
Which year didn't see geniuses emerge?
So what if he was a Godslayer? It was just a minor conflict. Once Wang Chu entered the academy and broadened his horizons to the entire Blue Star, he would realize.
Who would have thought that the global broadcast would sound again!
This time, he killed the Storm Goddess Alicia, successfully stacking the second layer of the [Godslayer] BUFF!
That night.
Some people in the Illusory Moon Empire began to feel uneasy!
They held an emergency meeting, and together with the higher-ups of the Illusory Moon Empire's Mecha Martial Academy, they made a snap decision to change the venue of this year's Global Mecha Martial Tournament to the Illusory Moon Empire's Mecha Martial Academy!
They didn't think much about it.
Or rather, what they had to do remained the same.
If Wang Chu participated in the tournament with his team and set foot on the Illusory Moon Empire's territory, he would only have two choices!
Submit!
Or die!
"I didn't expect that in just a short time, Wang Chu's strength would have grown to such an extent..."
Signos clicked her tongue in amazement.
"He crushed the dreamscape meticulously set up by the Xia Huang family with lightning speed, personally killed Qin Yuxiao, the old eighth-order mecha pilot and head of the Xia Qin family, and now it is even rumored that he fought fiercely with Bai Hao, blasting apart his exoskeleton mecha..."
"......"
Speaking of which...
The trace of divine power from the Dreamweaver Goddess that dragged Wang Chu into the dreamscape seemed to have been provided by their Illusory Moon Empire...
In addition to this plan to assassinate Wang Chu in the [Abyssal Ruins]...
A bitter smile appeared on Signos's lips as she lowered her sapphire-like eyes, gazing at the report in her hand.
On the report, Wang Chu's photo came into view.
He was much more handsome than any man she had ever seen.
After all, Wang Chu was comparable to the unremarkable Louis Koo, rivaling Daniel Wu before he played Gul'dan, and on par with Hu Ge during the Chinese Paladin era...
He was only slightly inferior to the readers in front of the screen.
Like a firefly in the night!
It was hard to stay low-key!
"If possible... I really want to meet Wang Chu."
Signos sighed again, her words full of anticipation.
All kinds of information caused this new empress of the Illusory Moon Empire to develop a strong interest in Wang Chu.
No one would have thought that Signos, the Empress of the Illusory Moon Empire, standing at the pinnacle of Blue Star, would be thinking about a man she had never met.
"This kind of involuntary life..."
"When will I be able to break free?"
"Alas..."
A sigh.
It seemed like nothing was said.
It seemed like everything was said.
......
......
Imperial Capital Mecha Martial Academy.
Inside the villa.
Zi Ying frowned slightly and asked softly.
"Wang Chu... do you really want to take us in??"
"The [Abyssal Ruins] are not a place to be trifled with. Putting aside the abyssal creatures inside... the people from the Illusory Moon Empire will also be going in."
"I think you should have War God Bai Hao arrange for a few high-level mecha pilots to go in with you for safety."
When she heard that Wang Chu was planning to take the three of them into the [Abyssal Ruins], she was dumbfounded.
If one could clear the [Abyssal Ruins], they could indeed obtain a large amount of experience and modules, and even some rare materials and items.
But this also proved the danger of the [Abyssal Ruins]!
Not to mention, there were also people from the Illusory Moon Empire!
As the granddaughter of Lynx, she knew too well the nature of those people from the Illusory Moon Empire.
Wang Chu shrugged and said indifferently, "I know."
"If they want to deal with me, then let them do it. Even if I don't give them a chance this time, they will find trouble in the dark. It's better to take this opportunity to weaken their combat power a bit in advance."
"Moreover... who knows whether the pilots who follow me in to protect me are friends or foes?"
Not to mention the pilots from the Illusory Moon Empire, if the pilots who followed him in to protect him were spies, wouldn't Wang Chu have to fight nine people at once?
If possible, he wouldn't even want the people from the Alliance to enter.
Hearing this, Zi Ying also fell silent.
This was why War God Bai Hao agreed to Wang Chu's childish request, allowing Wang Chu, Xiao Mengyin, Zi Ying, and Su Wanqing to represent Xia in entering the [Abyssal Ruins].
To this end, Bai Hao withstood the pressure and made the decision.
After all, other high-level mecha pilots also wanted to enter the [Abyssal Ruins]. For everyone, this was an opportunity.
Of course, there was also Wang Chu's selfishness in this.
The [Abyssal Ruins] must be entered! Not entering would mean losing a large wave of resources.
Whether it was Xiao Cha Cha Su Wanqing or Zi Ying, they had to grow up as soon as possible.
But before that.
There was still one construction count left to use to advance to the fourth order!
Wang Chu stood up, brushed the dust off his pants, and hooked the corners of his mouth, slightly raising his eyes, his gaze piercing through the void.
"Mecha pilots from the Illusory Moon Empire?"
"Just kill them."
