Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

"You just mentioned the law of nature, survival of the fittest, which is indeed a bit extreme. In reality, victory has never belonged to the strong; survival itself is justice, indisputable justice."

"Since ancient times, the people on this land have been battling with nature, from the first single cell underwater, to the mass extinction brought by oxygen, to natural disasters and man-made calamities, social revolutions, and technological explosions. No matter how poets and historians wield their pens, they cannot cleanse the destruction nature has wrought upon life."

"Respect stems from fear, fear derives from violence, and nature is the most primal, the most exalted violence."

"People revere nature, not out of gratitude for its nurturing, but because they cannot resist the great force that arbitrarily decides life and death. At the end of the day, why did we embark on the path of huddling together for warmth, why develop industry—isn't it nature that forced us to this point?"

"I do not wish to discuss any national or personal grudges; that is meaningless."

"I am the will of the nation, the leader of the people. You are not my enemy, nor is Red Arrow my enemy. My enemy is one and only: the one that impedes the survival and development of Frost Plated."

David Lyn slowly stood up, facing the mightiest emperor on the ground, holding a pipe in one hand, and said calmly:

"To hell with the law of nature, the mission of civilization is to conquer nature."

"My soldiers will complete the sacred revenge, purifying all of this."

The emperor rose from the throne:

"What can you rely on to stop me? Your foolish ideas or your humble strength? David Lyn, you and your people will regret it in the purgatory of fire and frost."

"Bring it on."

David Lyn spread his arms:

"We have no father, no mother, no ties, every one of us is a cell and gear of this nation—you are facing not the Frost Plated ethnicity, government, or army, but a society united as one!"

"—Just a society."

Rudolf sneered, flicked his cloak, returned to the throne, supporting his chin with one hand:

"I suggest you check your southern line."

"Now you're saying it's the entire society of Frost Plated dealing with us, so why is the country divided between north and south, and the nation split?"

"Time is almost up, the White Plum Army should also be taking action."

He raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation, with a slight smirk at the corners of his mouth:

"President David Lyn, can you and your federation face the war situation of both internal and external crises?"

—White Plum Army.

David Lyn of course knew this deep-seated trouble, but when Rudolf mentioned this term, his heart couldn't help but twitch.

"President David Lyn."

Rudolf said arrogantly:

"You should also know, the White Plum Army has no natural barrier with you. Once past the Grante plains, it's the core heavily fortified town of Frost Plated."

"Even if you can stop the empire's iron hooves on the frontline battlefield with the Sky Ring Allied Forces—can you face the impact of a southern army no less in scale than the Frost Plating Federation?"

"Go and see, see how your country is torn apart, how your reforms are reduced to ashes, and let the old world of male oppression of males, female oppression of females return!"

David Lyn fell silent, turned his head, and walked to the sand table, the AI broadcast voice echoing within the bunker:

"White Plum Government Army control area—Bai Sijia Department suffered a major blow."

"White Plum Army 091 Motorized Infantry Division is engaged in a firefight with unknown forces."

"White Plum Army 22 Flight Squadron confirmed completely annihilated."

"Southern line garrison reports—a fierce firefight broke out at the White Plum Army's outpost, the third party's forces are not using Azure Star weapons."

The military advisor looked bewilderedly at President David Lyn:

"Sir...someone is helping us."

Emperor Rudolf's face fell in the video call.

"Where have they reached? Draw the power map and range of the firefight—can contact be made? Reach out to them quickly."

David Lyn couldn't be bothered with Emperor Rudolf, immediately asked a few key questions, and his subordinates hurriedly got to work.

Before long, a message came through:

"Message from Mingji Heavy Industries:"

"'Prophet' N4 has issued commands, we will continue to support the Sky Frost Allied Forces, any forces resisting the empire, or fighting against Lord Entropy, will receive our [Biochemist] support services."

"Remarks: This time, Mingji Humanity is truly engaging in humanitarian work."

"...Mingji Heavy Industries. The Prophet reportedly went into the cosmos forty years ago."

David Lyn murmured:

"I think, I probably know, who is supporting us."

Clang!

The pitch-black blade swiftly sliced through the mecha's armor, Caramel Snail backhandedly gripped, Gravity pressed inward, crushing the pilot into mush.

The fifteenth mecha fell, a barrage of bullets immediately rained down from the sky, promptly hitting the ground.

Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom!

Black smoke rose, fragments of grenades scattered everywhere like glass. Kinetic weapons, no matter the era, are always the protagonist on the battlefield.

[Crane School·Steel Body and Spirit]

Caramel Snail backhandedly withdrew the long sword from the mecha, white frost arose on the body, activating Dominator Body, the Magic Armor constantly blinking, the generated Force Field Shield easily withstood these weapons outdated by unknown thousands of cosmic years.

Silver runes glimmered in his eyes, quickly scanning the surrounding space, an optical camouflaged sniper set up a table behind a high platform window, mounted the sniper rifle, and was about to pull the trigger.

The next moment, Caramel Snail at 16x zoom flicked a flourish with the sword, Qi Energy burst from underfoot, instantly charging forward to face it.
