Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Xie Yitian and Tie Long were simultaneously stunned.
That astonishing beam of light just now wasn’t even considered an attack, just a "small gift" for their meeting, to replenish their energy?
Instinctively, they couldn’t believe it.
The beam nearly blasted them to death, and it still counted as a gift?
However, upon further reflection, if Zhang Chenfeng’s creation really intended to kill them, there certainly were more efficient methods of attack.
Gathering pure spiritual energy into a light beam for an attack indeed seemed somewhat wasteful.
Could it really be a gift?
It’s just that the gift was too "heavy", almost crushing them to death.
Yet, would Zhang Chenfeng’s creations be so kind-hearted? Clearly, they were supposed to destroy them, and yet they gave a "gift" before the battle.
The gift turned out to be precious pure spiritual energy, did they have more energy than they knew what to do with?
Moreover, the way of giving the gift was overly violent; if a weaker seven-star were to face the light beam, they’d likely have been blasted to death.
Is this what you call gifting?
Is this the overbearing nature of Zhang Chenfeng’s creation, feeding them a "feast" before sending them on their way?
Had all the seven-star Transcendents who died under Zhang Chenfeng’s creations experienced the same treatment?
Doesn’t seem like anyone heard of it.
Just as the two looked at Su Yu with suspicion, trying to find an explanation.
The anomaly happened again.
The previous beam of light was too massive, containing a huge amount of spiritual energy.
Only a portion of it was absorbed by the three of them, while the remaining dispersed around them.
At this moment, those pure spiritual energies underwent two dramatic changes.
They first became illusory, transforming into data form!
Then the data transformed again, turning into substance.
In a short time, these energies transformed from elusive energy into stable, durable reality.
This is spiritual energy datafication and data materialization, two abilities.
This is the signature ability of Mechanical Spirits!
Obviously, Zhang Chenfeng’s creation also possessed powerful data abilities, certainly much stronger than Mechanical Spirits.
They, far away in orbit, across hundreds of kilometers, effortlessly used this power to transform a great amount of intangible spiritual energy into physical substances.
These materialized data quickly formed into three giant entities, quietly suspended in mid-air.
These three entities were three humanoid mechas.
Each one measured a hundred meters high, with a streamlined design, appearing akin to imposing and majestic giants cast in iron.
They bore no long-range weapons, seemingly designed solely for melee combat.
Once they took shape, a hum of mechanical operation resounded from within them.
Moments later, the three machines shuddered simultaneously, coming to life.
Their red eyes glowed with danger, swiveling their heads to lock onto Su Yu and the others.
Each one gazed at a different target.
Among the mechas, there were size differences. The smallest, barely a hundred meters tall, focused on Xie Yitian, bearing no weapons.
The middle one, slightly taller than a hundred meters, wielded a massive chain blade and focused on Tie Long.
The final one, exceptionally giant, reached a height of two hundred meters, wielding both chain and light blades.
Its eyes locked onto Su Yu.
Upon being targeted by the two hundred-meter giant mecha, Su Yu felt his heart tighten.
As an eight-star Transcendent and a dual-divine-position Evil God, his instincts constantly warned: Danger! Extreme danger!
You could die! A careless move means death!
Clearly, the giant mecha was extraordinarily powerful, posing a life-threatening danger even to Su Yu!
Faced with such danger, Su Yu smiled and, with admiration, said to the three mechas:
"This is... the Giant God Soldier Mecha!"
"Zhang Chenfeng’s ace battle group from back then, I finally get to witness it firsthand. Even if they’re just data manifestations..."
"These three are different from those I saw in images earlier, must be different models..."
Indeed, these three mechas were the Giant God Soldier Mechas from millennia ago! Absent for a thousand years, they finally reappeared.
Zhang Chenfeng’s creation didn’t directly attack but instead used data materialization to form Giant God Soldier Mechas as a "welcome" to the three.
"Let’s each take one, once we defeat them, we’ll be fine!"
Seeming suddenly aware of many things, Su Yu turned to Tie Long and Xie Yitian and said.
Meanwhile, Xie Yitian and Tie Long were sweating bullets under the gaze of the other two mechas, clearly under immense pressure.
Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, they were shocked and quickly asked:
"Mr. Su Yu, what did you say? These are the Giant God Soldier Mechas?"
"Mr. Su Yu, what do you know? What’s going on?"
The two of them were now utterly puzzled.
They initially thought that once Zhang Chenfeng’s creation targeted them, it would follow with a cataclysmic orbital bombardment, not stopping until they were destroyed.
Surprisingly, they first received a "gift", getting dazed by pure spiritual energy.
Then came these three menacing giant mechas, as if to use them to kill the three of them at close range.
Was this all necessary?
Logically, Zhang Chenfeng’s creation, positioned high above out of the atmosphere, held the advantage.
Having already locked onto them, wouldn’t a long-range bombardment be much more convenient?
Why go through the trouble of producing these three mechas?
