Even though Zhou Jiuya’s remaining sanity told him that this was impossible, at the moment of the other’s appearance, he couldn’t deny that he, too, had experienced a kind of illusion—a feeling that perhaps that person had truly returned. However, Marshal Huo Chao had indeed sacrificed himself three hundred years ago; this was an indisputable fact. Even if this other person could control the Forbidden Abyss, it didn’t mean they were Huo Chao.
So, compared to Ye Shu, who was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, Zhou Jiuya, after his initial shock, finally managed to force himself to regain his composure.
—Perhaps this was the biggest difference between him and Ye Shu.
At this moment, Wan Jiang held a giant sword and asked vigilantly, “Who are you?! Why can you pilot the Forbidden Abyss?!”
“…Tsk,” Huo Xianfeng frowned, somewhat troubled.
…It’s this question again.
He himself was still in a state of confusion between racial awareness and self-awareness. Except for his name and gender, all his other personal information was a blank space, making it difficult for him to answer the eternal philosophical question of “Who am I.”
Just then, a furious shout from afar answered this question for the young man, “Huo Chao, you’re still alive?!”
Huo Xianfeng: “……..”
Zhou Jiuya: “……..”
Cruzi, who had been blown away earlier, stood up in the ruins, slightly bending his knees. The next moment, the ground beneath his feet shattered and disintegrated in the terrifying recoil force. The strange green mech, like a lightning bolt, rushed forward. Even before his shout had completely disappeared, he was already rapidly approaching the young man.
A dazzling bright green light struck down!!!
Huo Xianfeng looked up, and from a certain feudal perspective, he felt that this green light was not particularly auspicious. The Forbidden Abyss raised its hand, and in the blink of an eye, the giant sword in Wan Jiang’s hand was effortlessly seized.
Zhou Jiuya’s pupils suddenly enlarged, “What—?!”
Although Wan Jiang was derived from the main program of the Forbidden Abyss, he was still the primary commander of the paired weapon. Yet, the other mecha effortlessly extended his hand and directly snatched away the giant sword.
But in this situation, Zhou Jiuya had no time to think further. The huge black-gold heavy sword shoot straight towards the Forbidden Abyss and the latter directly snatched it up in mid-air.
Boom!
In an instant, there was an earth-shaking roar!
Huo Xianfeng abruptly swung the sword horizontally, firmly blocking this thunderous blow in the last second.
Two terrifying energies suddenly collided, and dazzling sparks burst open. The face of the Forbidden Abyss still retained traces of smoke and damage, with the left side of its face completely shattered, revealing the black metallic skeleton inside—cold and eerie, like a hero’s phantom returned from hell.
“Hey, I mean,” Huo Xianfeng coldly looked up and said, “——Don’t casually give random names to others without consent!”
“You…”
Cruzi suddenly sensed something, and he was shocked. The bottom of his eyes reflected the Forbidden Abyss’ side-barrel that glowed red. The energy cannon fired by the mecha Forbidden Abyss was known for its devastating power, and he knew it very well.
Cruzi’s mind buzzed, and he quickly retreated. However, as he retreated, he inadvertently exposed a flaw. The next moment, the giant sword flipped, and he felt an endless pressure coming straight at him. It was too late to react; the blade suddenly changed direction, piercing into the weakest joint connection. In the bright
sword light, it abruptly cut off one of the mecha’s front legs.“Ahhhhh—!!!”

In the painful and agonizing scream of the archbishop, the dark green bio-mecha was forcibly pushed back nearly a hundred meters.
But it wasn’t over yet. Several reddish-orange energy beams almost simultaneously chased from behind, directly blocking all of Cruzi’s retreat routes.
Such a seasoned combat awareness, precise prediction of evasion trajectories, and unambiguous actions—even Zhou Jiuya couldn’t help but marvel.
At this moment—
The positions of the attacker and the defender suddenly reversed!
The broken and bizarre face of the Forbidden Abyss suddenly approached, looking down from a high vantage point, cold and ruthless. It almost completely overlapped with the face of that person from a very, very long time ago.
Cruzi suddenly froze.
Whoosh—
His long-sealed gate of memoried was suddenly, and without warning, violently blasted open, and the gray memories gushed out like a surging flood—
Inside the grand and luxurious White Temple, numerous fanatical believers knelt in worship.
That day, it was the Pope himself who presided over the Forbidden Abyss’ conferment ceremony. At that time, Huo Chao was still wearing the white robe of the Illusory God Church, white with red embellishments. He stood on a platform a hundred meters high, his cold and stern face extraordinarily handsome.
The huge colored glass windows refracted the sunlight in a strange and shadowy manner, casting a peculiar light on the side of his face. The golden Holy Stigmata came alive at that moment, winding and growing on his profile like cold and sharp golden thorns.
After the ceremony, Cruzi, who was just an ordinary disciple at the time, almost excitedly and fanatically chased after him. Under the gaze of everyone, he suddenly knelt down.
[Lord Huo Chao, please let me follow you…]
However, that person didn’t even look at him, condescendingly walking directly past him.
[Unnecessary.]
At that moment, Cruzi clearly saw a kind of extreme annoyance and disgust surging in the eyes of the other person, as if he were nothing more than a pile of disgusting and avoidable trash.
After Huo Chao left in large strides, sharp laughter echoed around him.
“…”
Even later, when Cruzi became the Archbishop and killed all those who had mocked him, the memories of that past humiliation remained like maggots gnawing at his bones, never letting him find peace.
At this moment, the familiar, indifferent, and lofty gaze of the Forbidden Abyss once again deeply pierced Cruzi’s pride.
“Huo Chao!!!”
At this moment, he didn’t avoid it. In the midst of a violent explosion, he directly confronted him.
“Why are you still alive…?!!”
—The answer to him was a bright and dazzling sword light.
The colossal and broken body of the Forbidden Abyss moved incredibly agilely in the air. With a flip, it accurately avoided Cruzi’s attack. Then, without much ado, it swung the giant sword, smashing him into the ground with a single blow.
Boom—!!!
Such terrifying force seemed to shake the entire underground city.
The ground collapsed more than ten meters, and countless cracks spread like tree roots.
“Tsk, let’s just fight! Why do you talk so much during a fight?!”
Huo Xianfeng held the sword with one hand and sounded quite impatient,
“I’ve said it before, I’m not that person. Can’t your damn eyes see properly? You got the wrong guy, brother!”
This sarcastic remark simply filled his entire aggro bar.
Cruzi, who was buried undeground: “…”
Zhou Jiuya, whose weapon had been taken away: “…”
Ye Shu, who was just about to rush over with excitement: “…”
This person might… really not be Huo Chao. After all, the former Supreme Commander of the Old Alliance, even hailed as a savior, always presented himself as calm, solemn, and, in simpler terms, with the demeanor of a reserved senior officer. Even if he didn’t admit his identity, he wouldn’t make such sarcastic remarks.
And the pilot inside the Forbidden Abyss seemed too young and too aggressive. He looked more like a newly forged, sharp and unrestrained sword.
But, if it’s not Huo Chao, who else can control the Forbidden Abyss?!
Who else can effortlessly control Wan Jiang’s weapons so easily?!
Just while everyone was deeply shocked by this statement, Jiang Ci, sitting in the co-pilot’s seat, suddenly turned back.
“Huo Xianfeng, do you… have a younger brother?”
“Huh?”
The young man looked at him in surprise, “Why are you asking that?”
“…Forget it if you don’t, I just feel that you look a lot like a kid.”
No, no, it’s too similar.
Jiang Ci still remembered what that half-grown brat said to him on Earth,
“Brother, you have such a great omega voice.”
If it weren’t for the significant age and size difference, the almost identical tone and mannerisms made Jiang Ci even suspect that these two were the same person.
The young general was unaware that he had come so close to the truth, a truth that completely defied common sense. However, the next moment, Huo Xianfeng suddenly raised his head, squinting his eyes as if he had discovered something extremely unpleasant. His tone suddenly became serious.
“Something is coming down, very fast.”
At the same time, Zhou Jiuya also received an urgent communication from his adjutant.
“Legion Commander! The Church… zz… has released a new type of life… zz… form mecha…”
Boom—!!!
At this point, the urgent communication from the adjutant seemed unnecessary, as everyone in the underground city had already seen that monster.
Huo Xianfeng took just one glance, and a inexplicable sense of disgust and nausea surged in his heart. Although it was called a biological mecha, it was not in the same league as the thing Cruzi had used a Zerg’s corpse to modify. Or rather, it looked more like a terrifying monster pieced together from the shells of many different creatures.
Its upper body resembled a spider’s head, covered with densely packed compound eyes. The lower half, however, was a snake body that stretched for hundreds of meters. Perhaps there was something else, but at this point, no one had time to look closely. Because that monster suddenly opened the scales covering its body, and…
Zhou Jiuya’s pupils shook, immediately preparing to open the defense shield.
“Not good—!!!”
Just as the defense shield was about to close, a dark figure flashed in and hid behind him. The Legion Commander felt a sudden weight on his shoulder and turned around in surprise, only to find that it was the arm of the Forbidden Abyss.
Its crimson electronic eyes flickered, as if the other party was blinking at him,
“I’m really short on energy, so I’ll rely on your defense shield!”
Saying that, Huo Xianfeng seemed to remember something. He raised his hand, reinserting the giant sword back into Wan Jiang’s back, encouraging him,
“Go for it!”
Zhou Jiuya, caught off guard by the sudden weight of the giant sword, tilted backwards, “…”
