Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: Mech battle starts

[Superhearofangirl (Earth): How did the planet become a lifeless husk, like Lady Erkath said?]

[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): The Hepolisk acidic poison. Because of the sheer number of them on the planet, their poison soon got into the planet's water sources and over time killed off all life on the planet.]

[Justiceistruth (Earth): How did the universe react to the Hepolisks' siege and the Phoenix races' extinction?]

[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): There was naturally widespread anger and condemnation that ultimately led to the Hepolisks' race being removed from the Universal Senate. After that, Hepolisk planets started to come under regular attack from both pirates and other races who sought their planets' resources.]

[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): Without the Universal Senate's protection, they had no platform to make formal complaints and any race they requested assistance from ignored them. In the end, they became a vagabond race, with no planet to call home.]

[Superhearofangirl (Earth): Serves them fucking right.]

[Justiceistruth (Earth): Agreed.]

[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Wait, so won't the history of the Hepolisk race also change if history changes?]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): That's a good point. Erkath, what sort of punishment do you think the Hepolisk race will encounter once the universe hears about their failed siege?]

[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): Hmmm, since the Phoenix race will ultimately survive and not go extinct, they will most likely keep their spot in the Universal Senate but have restrictions and trade embargos placed on them similar to the Terran race, but more severe.]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): What's to stop them from trying to siege the planet again?]

[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): I expect the Universal Senate will provide planetary protection.]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): There's also the fact that the streamer plans to destroy most of their fleet, so I don't think they would have the ships to try this again for quite a while.]

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): It begs the question of why the Universal Senate and you, who was a serving senator at the time, allowed the plight of the Phoenix race to reach this stage.]

[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): I'm not proud of my ignorance back then, but at the time, the information we were receiving led us to believe that the Phoenix's plight was not as bad as we now know it to be. It is believed that someone or something was somehow covering up the Phoenix hunts and making any Phoenix race deaths appear as just any other death the universe sees on a daily basis.]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Any idea who was covering it up?]

[LadyErkath (Oceana 7): It was originally suspected that the Hepolisk were somehow covering it all up. But after an investigation and their removal from the Universal Senate, it was determined that it was not them. Unfortunately, we failed to determine who was behind it.]

[Celebrityhunter69 (Earth): There must be tens of thousands of ships there.]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Hundreds of thousands.]

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): How does a battle of that size even take place?]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): With great difficulty and coordination.]

"Designate priority targets," Adam said.

[[Affirmative]]

As Spector responded, two ships on the viewscreen were highlighted with information on them.

[[Target 1: Hepolisk Communication Jamming Ship.

Currently jamming all outbound communication from the planet, including the Universal Subspace Network.

Eliminating the communication jamming ship will allow the Phoenix race to call for help and inform the rest of the universe about the Hepolisk siege.]]

[[Target 2: Hepolisk Capital Command Ship.

A capital ship that is responsible for organising and coordinating the ongoing Siege of Fenix Nest.

Eliminating the capital ship will put the Heplisk fleet into disarray for a short time, allowing the Phoenix fleet to reorganise and counterattack.]]

"That's one fucking big ship," Adam commented as he looked at the capital ship that was the size of a small moon.

[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): Holy fuck, how is it so big?]

[Emojisonly (Earth): 😱]

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): That's what she said. Kekeke.]

[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Never to you. Kekeke.]

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): …]

As Adam and the chat watched, they saw many of the larger Hepolisk ships focus their fire on one of the Large Phoenix ships, causing its shields to fail before it was punctured with holes as lasers and ballistic weapons tore through it until it finally could take no more and blew up, taking many of the smaller ships and mechs that where nearby with it.

[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Hooo look at it blow.]

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Better get a move on, streamer, or there will be nothing left of the Phoenix fleet. Kekeke.]

[Animefangirl (Earth): Let's go, let's go, I wanna see some mech combat.]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): You know he can't see your message, right, idiot?]

[Animefangirl (Earth): Really? What sort of stupid stream has it where the streamer can't see the comments?]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): Have you not been paying attention, or did you just arrive? He's currently 2000 years in the past.]

[Animefangirl (Earth): What?]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): You heard.]

[Animefangirl (Earth): …. Is he serious?]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): He is.]

[Animefangirl (Earth): WTF! A streamer who can time-travel? That's so Anime.]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): No, it's Sci-Fi]

[Animefangirl (Earth): Anime]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): Sci-Fi]

[Animefangirl (Earth): Anime]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): Sci-Fi]

[Animefangirl (Earth): Anime]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): Sci-Fi]

[Animefangirl (Earth): ANIME!!! 😡]

[SciFifanboy (Earth): SCI-FI!!! 😡]

[Whostolemyduck (Earth): ENOUGH, FUCK.]

[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): HAHAHAHA, I love this chat. 🤣]

"Well, let's get started," Adam said before he had Spector Unit 6 shoot towards his first target, the communication jamming ship.

As he flew, a new information bar appeared on both his viewscreen and the stream for the chat.

[[NDS Level: 0%]]

[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): What the hell is NDS?]

[OfficialRowena (Oceana 7): I've never heard of it. @Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage?]

[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): No idea.]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Looks like we will have to wait and see.]

[Beczontop (Imperial Down): He's about to enter weapons range, fuck um up baby.]

[OrangeeyedStace (Oceana 7): He's not your baby, don't think I wont tell him this when he returns.]

[Beczontop (Imperial Down): …]

[OfficialLorelie (Oceana 7): 😮‍💨]

As Spector Unit 6 entered the firing range of a group of Phoenix and Hepolisk ships and mechs that were battling, four targeting reticles appeared on the viewscreen and locked onto three Hepolisk mechs and one fighter-class ship before Adam pulled the trigger on one of his joysticks.

The four shoulder cannons locked onto their individual targets before energy beams erupted out of them and tore through the Hepolisk mechs and ships, causing them to blow up.

[Animefangirl (Earth): Oh fuck yeah, so Anime.]

[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): He tore them up in one shot.]

[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): Well, his mech and weapons are 2000 years more advanced.]

[Beinglittleisnotadisadvantage (Strathorp 7): There is also the fact that fighter-class ships have minimal shields while mechs have none. They both mainly rely on their mobility to avoid attacks, while their armour offers them some protection.]

[OrangeeyedStace (Oceana 7): Tear them up, baby.]

Adam had Spector Unit 6 reach behind its back and grab hold of some sort of long, circular tube that turned out to be a mech-sized beam saber.

A giant red energy beam materialised out of the long circular tube as Adam had Spector Unit 6 target four more Hepolisk mech's while Adam flew straight towards a fifth.

[SciFifanboy (Earth): Oh fuck yeah, A giant lightsaber, that's so Sci-Fi.]

[Animefangirl (Earth): You fucking idiot, it's obviously his mechs beam saber, which is so Anime.]

Adam pulled the trigger, and the shoulder cannons once again fired off powerful energy beams that tore through the four mechs that they targeted while Adam had Spector Unit 6 swing its beam saber at the fifth mech as it passed it and sliced it in two, causing it to blow up moments after.

[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Holy fuck, they can't even react.]

[Lizziethetruepower (Palalxia): His speed was already far greater than the Hepolisk mechs, since they're using thrust-powered movement, add on 2000 years of tech advancement, and he's basically bullying them.]

[1000yearsofdeath (Earth): Isn't it the streamer that's the one who is supposed to get bullied? Kekeke.]

By now, the nearby Phoenix and Hepolisk ships and mechs had noticed that an unknown mech had entered the battlefield and was picking off Hepolisk forces.

💫💫💫

"Captain, squad seventeen is reporting an unknown mech has appeared in our sector and is attacking Hepolisk forces." A Phoenix officer reported from the bridge of a large-class ship that was the sector's command ship.

"Attacking the Hepolisk scum? Do our forces not recognise the mech?" The captain asked.

"Negative, sir, they say it's of an unknown design, and it is eliminating Hepolisk forces in one shot."

"Keep an eye on it, but don't interfere as long as it doesn't attack our forces. At this point, I will take any help I can get, and also try to identify it."

"Yes, sir."

💫💫💫

"Unknown contact is attacking our ships and mechs." An officer reported on the bridge of the sectors Hepolisk command ship.

"Have the Phoenixes sent in reinforcements to this sector?" The captain asked.

"No, sir, it appears to be only one mech unit, and it is of unknown design."

"Is it attacking the Phoenix units?"

"No, sir."

"Destroy it. If they want to interfere with our battle, then they can face the consequences." 

"Yes, sir. Command ship to all units, you are cleared to engage the unknown mech and eliminate it."
