Chapter 6256 The Reborn ARCEUS System

The titanic Tireless Engine and the furious Mars began to clash against each other right away!

A whole section of the battlefield immediately turned into a no-go zone as deadly resonance-empowered positron beams and lethal spatial shards began to fill up the immediate space.

The two combatants easily expended energies that surpassed the full output of mighty battleships.

Of the two, the Tireless Engine easily used up greater amounts of energy. His massive 1.2 kilometer high true body moved surprisingly quickly for a physical organism of his size. His upper limbs swung the giant spear with great speed and force, and his lower limbs was able to push his body in different directions by generating strong but short-lasting spatial footholds.

The huge amount of phasewater circulating inside his titanic body also went to work. Dozens of phasewater organs of many different functions continually worked to strengthen the Tireless Engine's body, spatial barrier, sensory perception and more.

"MY POWER IS EVERLASTING. MY ENGINE CAN NEVER BE EXHAUSTED."

The nunser warlord was an old veteran of many alien conflicts in the past. He had already been fighting for glory and resources many years before the arrival of humans in the Red Ocean. He had accrued a lot of experience and honed his combat instincts before Patriarch Reginald's great-great-great-great-grandparents were alive!

One of the more annoying and difficult-to-avoid aspects of the Tireless Engine's combat approach was the destabilization of space around his massive body.

Although phase lords did not have anything that could come close to matching the performance of a Saint Kingdom, the Tireless Engine's frequent destabilization and outright shattering of the nearby fabric of space made it a lot harder to navigate around his titanic body!

"I HAVE NEVER BEEN DEFEATED BY ENEMIES WHO ARE SMALLER THAN MYSELF. FROM THE MOMENT YOU HAVE ENTERED MY SPACE, YOU ARE ALREADY TRAPPED WITHIN MY DIVINE CONTROL."

"Shut up, you overgrown bovine alien!" The pilot of the Mars roared back. "I am not one of the weakling aliens you are familiar with. I am a halfgod! I am a saint! My willpower shall vanquish over all of your spatial tricks!"

"WE SHALL SEE."

Space began to curve and even curl around in unpredictable ways. This became most evident when the ARCEUS System of the Mars launched full-powered positron beams at the Tireless Engine's multi-layered energy defenses at the fastest possible rate.

While Patriarch Reginald intended to concentrate his fire so that he could efficiently wear down the segmented azure energy shields protecting his opponent, many of his shots unexpectedly went off-course!

The curved beams either struck other segmented energy shields that were easily able to withstand the damage or flew so off-course that they ended up missing the giant phase lord!

The more the Mars launched its energy beams at its target, the more this weird curving effect took place!

"YOUR TINY LITTLE ENERGY WEAPONS ARE PITIFUL. YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO EXHAUST MY DEFENSES AT THIS RATE."

Patriarch Reginald frowned. He had seen this phenomenon before. The Amaranto of the Larkinson Clan was able to perform the same feat, but the difference was that the expert marksman mech utilized it as a means to enhance her own damage dealing capabilities.

In this case, Reginald did not intend to bend his energy beams at all! It was his opponent that was redirecting his ace mech's ranged attacks!

Of course, the ace pilot did not let the phase lord spoil all of his attacks with impunity. Reginald took this as a challenge and tried his best to counteract the effect.

The Mars utilized its superior mobility and much more compact size to circle around the Tireless Engine.

The firing rate of its ARCEUS System had slowed. Reginald no longer blindly pursued the highest degree of sustained damage, but instead tried to focus more on empowering his attacks even further.

He took the time to condense more resonance into the ARCEUS System, thereby trying to impart more of his willpower in the concentrated positron particles that they were about to unleash.

"SO MUCH ENERGY AND EFFORT, AND FOR WHAT, REMOVING JUST A SINGLE ENERGY SCALE? YOU SHALL TIRE YOURSELF OUT BEFORE YOU CAN EVER MANAGE TO DAMAGE MY FLESH, WHICH AS YOU CAN SEE, IS MORE VAST THAN YOUR PUNY ENERGY WEAPONS CAN EVER BURN!"

"You underestimate my power!" Patriarch Reginald roared as the ARCEUS System of his Mars continued to absorb as much willpower and resonance as they could hold before unleashing the combined powers at the enemy phase lord!

The firing rate of the ARCEUS System had slowed down enormously, but every attack was guaranteed to strip a segmented azure energy shield!

The clash between fire-aspected attacks and water-aspected defenses ended up in a resounding defeat for the latter in every collision.

This was because the hyper technology that the segmented azure energy shields were based upon was merely derived from mortal technologies!

The ostentatiously named Saint Crusher may look as large and impressive as a battleship, but it possessed no particularly strong synergy with its wearer. The Tireless Engine was a transcendent body cultivator whose augmentations were largely based on his own biology.

There was no direct interface or deep connection between body and suit that allowed the two to combine their strengths on a deeper level!

The best way to describe their relationship was that they were two different combat machines that just happened to occupy the same space. Their cooperation was shallow and not profound enough to produce deep synergies.

This was one of the obvious weaknesses of the Tireless Engine, and one that Reginald definitely intended to exploit!

"That massive tin can of yours may look big and impressive, but it is nothing but a heavy shell that can be drained sooner or later. Once I've stripped your giant metal suit from your filthy alien body, let's see whether you are still in the mood to boast about your staying power!"

While Reginald certainly sounded confident, he knew that he was committed to a lengthy and tedious endurance contest.

However, the situation was not as bad as it looked for him. Reginald had shown a little more patience than usual this time by maintaining a respectful distance from a phase lord that clearly excelled in close-quarters combat.

Though the warship-grade gun batteries mounted on the surface of the Saint Crusher regularly launched transphasic hyper energy beams at the Mars, the gun turrets were so slow and easy to to predict that the ace mech effortlessly evaded the attacks.

The Tireless Engine was only able to constrain the range of movement of the Mars at best with these attacks.

In fact, Reginald was confident he could tank these blows if needed. He just focused on evasion as that was much less draining on his extremely abundant energy reserves than trying to block the massive energy beams by relying on his defenses.

The ace pilot knew that this could go on seemingly forever if he continued to maintain this distance.

This was why he decisively moved closer even though his Mars would have to contend against the phase lord's massive spear and other possible threats at this short distance!

"My will and technology shall crush your vaunted defenses!"

The Mars always fought better at closer ranges. It was only by approaching its enemies that its powerful domain field was able to affect the state of its foes.

Already, Reginald's domineering willpower pressed upon the segmented azure energy shields. Dozens of them began to shake and distort as Reginald forcibly tried to alter reality so that their defensive properties became weaker than they should!

This was not only the debilitating effect that compromised the Tireless Engine's multi-layered energy defenses.

As part of Master Benedict's comprehensive effort to drag the Mars into the Hyper Generation, the Master Mech Designer had painstakingly cleared enough capacity to fit a very powerful and high-quality space suppression module!

Both allies and enemies watched the Mars closely to determine how effectively the ace mech could compromise the Tireless Engine's defenses with the help of its powerful space suppressor.

The performance of this recently developed module could literally decide the outcome of this operation!
