"Warning! Ripple anomaly is severely exceeding the standard, predicted as a level five Realm-Breaking Gate!"
When Qi Longxiang walked into the command room of the Falcon-class giant ship with his hands behind his back, he happened to hear this report from the battlefield monitor.
"Colonel!"
"Colonel!"
"Colonel Qi!"
Gazing straight ahead, Qi Longxiang nodded slightly and walked directly behind the monitor, calmly saying, "Initiate Primary Depiction for five seconds, conduct ripple flat mapping comparison."
Upon hearing this clear and calm command, everyone felt at ease, and soon the ripple flat mapping comparison results came out.
"Report to Colonel, the level five Realm-Breaking Gate energy fluctuations correspond to the Falcon-class heavy battleship of the same level, and the ripple flat mapping image is... Mecha." The soldier reporting from system data suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief.
How could Mecha appear under such energy fluctuations?
A level four Realm-Breaking Gate often meant a standard division fleet of the Gardot Empire’s heavy starships in a raid, but now with a level five Realm-Breaking Gate energy growing geometrically, it turned out to be the ripple flat mapping of a Mecha—this was impossible.
"Optically map the fluctuation point, second-highest magnification, speed!" Qi Longxiang’s eyes flickered as he quickly analyzed the recent content in his mind.
The three-dimensional holographic screen swiftly switched to the energy fluctuation point.
"Highest magnification, magnify." Scanning the holographic image, Qi Longxiang suddenly pointed to a particular spot.
"As you command."
Soon, the local area was revealed under optical mapping.
A pitch-black dense-as-ink black hole.
Not the ’black hole’ of celestial bodies but a dark opening only a few dozen meters square. Now that opening was faintly rotating, swallowing nearly all light, but as the light vanished, a contour vaguely resembling Mecha could be seen. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"Report to Colonel, optical mapping is being interfered with, a strong magnetic field exists in the target area."
The force field could interfere with the presence of light...
This was absolutely not a characteristic of Warship shields!
"Deploy in an arc-shaped formation, perform cross distribution in longitudinal space, four Destroyers equipped with a Heavy Cruiser as one unit, two Destroyers as Flagship guards. All units—disperse!"
Qi Longxiang raised his head to look at the floating holographic map in the center of the command room and suddenly issued a command.
"As you command!"
The Federation’s General Staff Special Service Fleet displayed its exceptional quality at this moment, and within one minute, under Qi Longxiang’s command, the entire fleet arranged itself into an arc-shaped attack formation at the fastest speed.
"50% firepower coverage energy preparation, synchronized attack on standby."
"Unit one on standby!"
"Unit two on standby!"
"Unit three on standby!"
"Unit four on standby!"
The entire fleet was now fully arrayed.
In space, five thousand kilometers away, that black dot suddenly enlarged, as if struggling with the surrounding space, constantly zooming in and out, then suddenly expanding again.
A completely black arm extended out, holding open this portal threatening to close.
Then a single leg stepped out, followed by the entire body emerging from the black Realm-Breaking Gate.
Completely black in appearance, holding a terrifying Knight Spear in its right hand, but the most striking feature was the thick, incredible Mecha body armor.
Heavy streamlined armor covered its entire body. This Mecha was more than fifty meters tall, now standing in the void like a giant from outside the heavens.
The Mecha’s left hand flicked, and three floating prismatic devices formed a triangle firmly adhered around the black passage, stabilizing this Realm-Breaking Gate.
Then the giant dark Mecha looked into the distance!
"It’s actually a fifty-meter tall Mecha?!"
The observer within the Fleet looked incredulously at the imager. That massive figure now weighed heavily on their minds.
If it were only twenty meters tall, they could still accept it, but once the fifty-meter tall Mecha appeared, everyone understood this could not possibly be just a facade. It was undoubtedly the supreme force of some superpower.
"Colonel?" An adjutant beside him asked for instructions.
Qi Longxiang stood straight, his body completely unmoving, eyes fixed on the screen, speaking calmly, "Identify communication signal."
This terrifying Mecha exterior did not impact his thought process at all, and his unhurried tone gave those around him a sense of assurance.
After a round of typing, the soldier nearby immediately reported loudly, "Report to Colonel, communication signal unknown, the opponent has not activated an active communication channel."
"Send access request. Three seconds after failure, begin initial coverage attack."
"Send access request."
"Access succeeded."
Succeeded?
It was initially thought this posture would not allow a chance to speak at all. The liaison officer glanced at the Colonel, received a nod, and projected the communication image.
"This is the Federation Army, please identify yourself."
Qi Longxiang faced the imaging screen and began to speak slowly.
This sentence was extremely general, yet at this moment, it was just right, because the opposite party clearly did not belong to the Federation’s combat sequence, and the chances of being an enemy rather than an ally exceeded fifty percent.
The rustling screen suddenly formed, but it was pure black.
"Tsk tsk, so it turned out to be the scraps of the Federation, looks like the direction of the Realm-Breaking Gate this time wasn’t wrong."
An arrogant laugh came from the screen, completely disregarding the Fleet, which had formed an attack formation.
Listening to the nonchalance in the voice, the adjutant beside him clenched his fists, just waiting for the Colonel’s order to concentrate fire and eliminate that Mecha.
"Looks like it’s an enemy rather than a friend," Qi Longxiang paid no attention to the opponent’s mockery.
"Heh, looks like you’re ready to impress me?"
"Me?" A mere Colonel from the Federation?"
He?
"Reveal your identity, submit to inspection," Qi Longxiang calmly repeated his stance.
"Hahaha... a joke, I, Reingano, will be inspected by you riffraff! You? A Federation Colonel?" The laughter suddenly stopped, filled with endless coldness.
As the name Reingano fell into everyone’s ears, the young officers felt nothing, but officers with even moderate service time suddenly stiffened.
The Gardot Empire... Royal Forbidden Army Grand Marshal... Reingano!
As these titles formed in their minds, cold sweat began to seep down the backs of these officers, for no other reason...
Because when Reingano appeared, inevitably accompanying him was...
The Twelve Demon God Machines widely spread within the star domain—
The Black Knight!
One of the SS-class Ultimate Series Mecha, which abruptly appeared in the fourth Administrative District today.
This was absolutely enough to cause a war between the two countries.
Such a cosmic aerospace-type Mecha appearing here absolutely could not be allowed to act at will.
"Reingano?" A slight ripple finally appeared in Qi Longxiang’s calm eyes, but it was merely a single fluctuation, with no fear in facing this representation of ultimate force, still speaking calmly,
"Colonel Qi Longxiang, I ask you, sir, to stay your step."
"Riffraff, merely a Colonel, if you wish to die, then this Marshal shall conveniently fulfill your wish."

Video cut off.
Qi Longxiang raised his head.
"Adjust firepower to 75%, change formation after two attacks, prepare fleet skill."
"Target delay until fleet skill is initiated."
With a pause in his tone, Qi Longxiang raised his head to look into the distant starlit sky, his palm pressing against the command console, speaking with detachment, "Do not tell me the number of casualties. I want victory only."
