At the vortex between the two worlds.
Queen Esdeath hung up the phone, slightly raising her head to look at the boundary between the two worlds.
More than half a day had passed since the vortex appeared, and the Great Thousand World still showed no sign of activity. Did they not intend to invade the Science and Martial World?
Or did they intend to fight on their own soil?
Esdeath felt it was more likely the latter. After all, the Great Thousand World was only a primary world, and the difference between the two was enormous. Defeating a mid-level world was no easy feat.
If they changed their strategy, establishing a large number of defensive facilities on their own soil and holding out to the bitter end, perhaps they could achieve a stalemate.
As long as they could hold out for a year, the Great Thousand World could still preserve its foundation.
Using the year-long truce to recover its strength was also a good approach.
Queen Esdeath surveyed the area, looking at the hundreds of thousands of mech warriors, then at the small vortex at the boundary between the two worlds, and decided there was no need to stay here any longer.
As one of the Empire's strongest fighters, she needed to meet Fang Xian and recruit him to serve the Empire.
Having made up her mind, Esdeath gave a few instructions, jumped into her Gundam, and headed straight for the Xu family.
...
Imperial Training Base.
"Huh? There's someone with 100% compatibility with the 'Super God Mech'?"
A girl in a red mech looked at the latest information, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and doubt.
She had long orange hair, the ends slightly curled inwards.
Her eyes were a clear blue, like a deep ocean, and beneath her long, curled eyelashes, her gaze was sometimes sharp, sometimes carrying a hint of stubbornness and arrogance.
Her skin was as white as snow, with a faint pinkish glow, radiating youthful vitality.
Her figure was slender yet graceful, the red mech perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure, exuding a unique and striking charm.
She was none other than Asuka, one of the Empire's youngest twin geniuses.
"I absolutely have to go see what's going on with this Fang Xian guy."
Asuka glanced at Rei Ayanami, another young twin genius beside her, and spoke calmly.
"Rei, why don't you come with me too?"
The girl named Rei Ayanami had a signature head of short, neat silver hair, a few strands falling beside her fair, jade-like face, further emphasizing her aloofness.
Her facial features were soft, with delicate eyebrows.
Below her brows were a pair of crimson eyes, carrying an innate sense of detachment, making it difficult to fathom the turmoil within her.
She wore white mecha armor, simple and elegant, which only enhanced her cool and serene aura.
Rei Ayanami looked at her smartwatch, responding softly without any emotion.
"Oh."
Asuka was already used to Rei Ayanami's personality and simply pulled her outside.
"Let's go, we'll leave now."
Rei Ayanami: …
…
Xu Family Press Conference.
As soon as Xu Ming released his bombshell announcement, a barrage of questions followed.
However, he refused to answer any of them, ending the press conference abruptly.
They went straight back to the chairman's office, refusing entry to all reporters.
Next came the fishing game.
Sure enough, many important figures, high-ranking officials, and wealthy individuals used various means to continuously vie for cooperation opportunities with Xu Ming.
Xu Ming reviewed the information one by one. Comparing the various ranks, the only high-ranking official present was Jin Meiting, the leader of the Imperial Army group.
The other important figures and high-ranking officials were still en route.
The Empire was one of the most powerful nations in the sci-fi world, and the Xu family was located within its borders.
Both practically and ethically, the Xu family should prioritize receiving the Empire's high-ranking personnel.
Especially Jin Meiting, who was the leader of the Queen's Army, the Empire's most powerful force.
By first sounding out Jin Meiting, he could better understand Queen Esdeath's thoughts and negotiate terms later.
He ordered someone to invite Jin Meiting in.
While waiting, Xu Ming explained the background of the Imperial Army to Fang Xian.
The Imperial Army had 18 divisions, among which the army commanded by Esdeath was called the Queen's Army, also known as the Empire's strongest army.
In fact, it truly was the Empire's strongest army, and arguably the strongest army in the sci-fi world.
Its status as the strongest army was due to Queen Esdeath's immense power.
Her compatibility with "God-level Mecha" is 99.99%, with "Super God Mecha" at 97%, and "Gundam" at 98.8%, making her the person with the highest compatibility in the world besides Fang Xian.
Besides her exceptionally high compatibility, she is also a powerful ice-type "psychic," combining these two strengths to reach the pinnacle of the sci-fi world.
Furthermore, her stunning beauty and unique personality attract many powerful individuals to her ranks, thus strengthening the Queen's Army and ultimately making it the empire's strongest force.
After listening to Xu Ming's explanation, Fang Xian understood why Jin Meiting was given priority reception; the main reason was the Queen's Army behind her.
This made him curious about what kind of woman the legendary Queen Esdeath was.
Just then, the secretary entered.
"Team Leader Jin, please come in."
Fang Xian looked up and saw a tall, curvaceous, and stunningly beautiful woman walk in.
She had short purple hair and wore black-rimmed glasses, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
Fang Xian used his "Eye of Insight" on her:
[Name: Jin Meiting
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: 95
Figure: 97
Height: 171
Character: Impeccable
Favorability: 60]
Very good, very suitable for a contract.
Especially when Fang Xian saw the mature and confident smile on Jin Meiting's pretty face, his desire to conquer her was further aroused.
Xu Ming saw Jin Meiting enter and stood up with a smile to welcome her.
"Team Leader Jin, welcome."
"Thank you."
Jin Meiting smiled and thanked him, then looked at Fang Xian, revealing a charming smile, and extended her slender hand.
"Mr. Fang, hello, my name is Jin Meiting, you can call me Meiting."
"Okay, Miss Meiting."
Fang Xian reached out and held Jin Meiting's small hand; her delicate skin was very smooth.
Their eyes met, each harboring their own secrets.
Jin Meiting smoothed down her flowing skirt and sat down gracefully.
She looked at Fang Xian and cut to the chase.
"I wonder if Mr. Fang is interested in joining Queen Esdeath's ranks, becoming my colleague, and fighting alongside me?"
"I can assure you that the Queen's army will provide you with the highest level of treatment and the safest protection."
"Especially given the current situation with rebel forces and 'extraterritorial wars,' we can better guarantee your safety."
"Mr. Fang, what do you think?"
Fang Xian had heard of the rebel forces Jin Meiting mentioned. In this technological age, some awakened individuals are extremely averse to mechs and want to overthrow the empire to establish an era without mechs.
In essence, they are remnants of the old era.
The root cause is their low "mech" compatibility. In the mech era, their original status is challenged, leading to resentment towards mechs.
Therefore, they frequently engage in assassinations and constantly sabotage mechs.
Especially Fang Xian, a mech genius with 100% compatibility, is their primary target.
Therefore, Jin Meiting specifically highlighted this point to emphasize the Queen's Army's advantage.
No matter how strong the rebels are, they are insignificant before the Queen's Army.
Fang Xian wasn't concerned about safety; he would kill as many as they came.
He, however, desperately wanted to meet Queen Esdeath.
It wasn't just because of Esdeath's power and beauty, but mainly because of her high status; he could learn about the "Origin of the World" from her.
He looked at Jim Mei-ting and smiled slightly.
"Team Leader Mei-ting, do you know if Queen Esdeath will be coming?"
"I want to see her."
