Chapter 106 The Real Ambush

"What happened?" Li Zhi's eyes widened, a strong sense of panic rising in his heart as he witnessed this bizarre scene.

As he had feared, Li Zhi had placed all his bets on "killing the Ocean Apostle." If anything went wrong, he would be doomed.

At this moment, Li Tianran, located in the Gobi Desert, also noticed this completely illogical scene. He used the system to forcibly connect to the Mech Warrior numbered 108, but the feedback he received was...

The unit has sustained 90% damage, all control systems have been destroyed, and a connection cannot be established!

This meant that Mech Warrior 108 was practically a pile of scrap metal.

But under normal circumstances, the Burnout Mode of a Mech Warrior wouldn't reach its limit for another ten seconds. This shouldn't be happening!

Moreover, its exterior still looked intact. Could it be that... something destroyed it from the inside?

Li Tianran stared intently at the Mech Warrior. He began trying to connect to the other units. Soon, connection information echoed in his mind, and a closer, clearer battlefield image appeared in his vision.

The Mech Warrior in Burnout Mode was like a furnace, radiating scorching light that caused the surrounding air to distort violently.

But... compared to the other Mech Warriors, the light from number 108 seemed even more intense and dazzling, almost like a burning sun.

Terrifying heat continuously erupted outward from Mech Warrior 108's body. Its body began to collapse, as if a true sun wanted to be born from within it!

Crack!

Crack!

The sound of the mecha fracturing echoed continuously. Finally, a monstrous wave of fire completely burst through 108's body, and flames filled the sky!

In this sky full of fire, with the help of the other Mech Warriors' electronic eyes, Li Tianran saw a figure in the flames.

A humanoid figure!

The moment the fire exploded, the figure turned its head. The instant Li Tianran saw the figure's face, his pupils instantly contracted!

It was a very familiar face!

Refined and elegant!

"Star Apostle!" Li Tianran almost forced the name out from between his teeth.

Yes! Just before Mech Warrior 108 could strike and kill the Ocean Apostle, it was the Star Apostle who had appeared, stopping it in mid-air and turning it into a statue!

Because the Star Apostle's size was similar to that of an ordinary person, compared to the nearly fifty-meter-tall Mech Warrior, it was like a cow and a mouse. Therefore, no one had immediately noticed that it was the Star Apostle who had attacked Mech Warrior 108.

As the controller of a God-level evolved flame ability, the Star Apostle possessed terrifying destructive power!

In that instant, it had emerged from the tide of beasts and pressed its palm against the chest of Mech Warrior 108. In 0.01 seconds, a massive amount of high-temperature fire molecules, exceeding ten thousand degrees Celsius, flooded into the Mech Warrior's body like a torrent.

In Burnout Mode, the Mech Warrior's surface temperature reached over six thousand degrees Celsius, and the mecha itself was already on the verge of collapse.

The Star Apostle had merely added fuel to the fire, accelerating the collapse!

As the fiery rain fell, Mech Warrior 108 shattered into countless burning fragments, becoming a thing of the past.

The Star Apostle's body fell from mid-air. A giant beast leaped high and respectfully caught it in its palm!

It was a giant ape, over ten meters tall, a strength-type God-descent evolver.

Just seconds before, it was this giant ape that had acted as a "catapult," throwing the Star Apostle high into the air, allowing the Star Apostle to briefly stay aloft and take down Mech Warrior 108!

As a second-stage evolved being, the Ocean Apostle possessed extremely strong jumping ability, but due to the limitations of its species, it still couldn't reach the height of flight, so it could only attack enemies in the air by cooperating with the giant beast.

After catching the Star Apostle, the giant ape suddenly bent its body, drawing its right arm back behind it like a large bow.

0. 01 seconds later, the giant ape roared and threw the Star Apostle out again.

The Star Apostle was like a cannonball, slamming into another Mech Warrior, number 127, on the right side. The instant they made contact, dazzling flames erupted on the Mech Warrior's body again, instantly shattering it!

In a matter of seconds, all eight of the already battered Mech Warriors were destroyed!

The Star Apostle stood amidst the ruins of the Mech Warriors, flashing a brilliant smile in the direction of the defensive wall.

"It's over..." Seeing this scene, Li Tianran's heart instantly turned ice-cold.

The thing he least wanted to see had happened.

The ancient civilization did indeed have an ambush!

And the ambush was even stronger and more terrifying than Li Tianran had imagined!

...

"Star... Star Apostle?" Li Zhi stood on the wall of the giant fortress, watching the sudden change on the battlefield in disbelief, his voice almost cracking: "Isn't it in the waters of Crazy Breath Island? How could it have arrived at defense line t-119 in such a short amount of time!"

"This is wrong! This isn't right!"

Li Zhi roared, veins bulging on his neck and forehead. He couldn't accept this fact!

The sudden appearance of the Star Apostle made him feel as if he had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant!

Yes, according to the reconnaissance of the monitoring satellites, the Star Apostle should indeed be in the original waters of Crazy Breath Island, where it should be commanding the tide of beasts to attack Sky Castle!

Someone turned on the real-time war satellite. Li Zhi saw the Star Apostle, wearing a white suit, still sitting lazily on the head of a giant beast in the original waters of Crazy Breath Island.

"Two... two Star Apostles?" Li Zhi said in a trembling voice.

At this moment, a staff member responsible for contacting various departments came to Li Zhi and whispered: "The waters of Crazy Breath Island have been under very little pressure since the start of the war, and the Star Apostle on that battlefield has not personally participated in the battle at all!"

Li Zhi's head buzzed.

As two defense lines that were similarly invaded by Apostle-level forces, the battle on defense line t-119 was in full swing, while the battlefield in the original waters of Crazy Breath Island was like children playing house, and the Star Apostle, as the strongest combat force, had never made a move...

There seemed to be only one explanation for this.

The Star Apostle in the waters of Crazy Breath Island was a fake! An imposter!

This Star Apostle was the real one!

It had been hiding in this tide of beasts all along, waiting for this moment to suddenly appear and turn the tide of the battle!

Just as Li Zhi was stunned, in the tide of beasts, the Ocean Apostle, who had originally looked dying and heavily injured, slowly twisted its huge body, raised its three heads, and coldly stared at the Northern Border Legion on the battlefield.

Like a venomous snake staring at a frog!
