Inside Robby's mecha, he heard the voice of his opponent. Given his current status as one of the USE's Six Dragons, it had been a long time since someone dared to act so arrogant in front of him. However, the voice was unfamiliar; he didn't recognize the person.
"Looking for death, huh!"
Robby said in a deep voice.
The two mechas were clearly engaged in some form of communication, but they were using internal mecha voice systems that outsiders couldn't understand. It left the onlookers itching with curiosity. However, judging from the situation, the exchange was far from pleasant.
The Dragon God mecha slightly bowed, raising the laser sword slowly, indicating that Rampaging Lion Robby was angry.
On the other side, the Armor Dragon mecha stood nonchalantly. This...
Taptaptaptaptap...
The Dragon God mecha charged rapidly towards the Armor Dragon mecha. With Robby's skills, he could have used variations to disrupt the opponent's predictions, but he didn't. He chose the simplest and most direct approach—charging.
Boom...
The laser sword and the titanium blade clashed fiercely, sparking and creating a heavy impact. The speed wasn't fast, but the force was noticeably stronger. The Dragon God mecha still maintained its dominance, and this time, Robby didn't give the opponent a chance to catch their breath. He stuck to the opponent with several attacks, immediately executing the Death God's Three Short Strikes, using the mecha's advantage and his own body to forcefully suppress the opponent.
After three sudden heavy blows, the Armor Dragon mecha became sluggish, emitting creaking sounds from the strain. At that moment, the Dragon God mecha forcefully controlled its movement. The engine let out a roaring explosion as it soared into the air, flipping over the top of the Armor Dragon's head. Simultaneously, the laser sword swung towards the head of the Armor Dragon mecha.
In an instant, everyone watching held their breath. This was Robby attempting to execute the Dragon God's Reverse Swallow's Flight Return, a move he had tried but failed to complete in the Mecha Wars Tournament. Who would have thought they would witness it in a casual match?
This move was a finishing move, and when combined with the Death God's Three Short Strikes, it was the ultimate technique in close combat.
Most people were unable to react to such a move. Puppet was strong, and Armor Dragon seemed to leap to avoid it.
In vain!
Boom...
The mecha exploded. The expert's powerful control and finishing move were completed in the blink of an eye.
Puppet's viewers had reached over 20,000, but at this moment, most of them could only sigh. Although Puppet had pushed Rampaging Lion Robby to this extent, it was the first time it had happened in a match. However, losing meant losing, and the winning streak had come to an end.
Everyone felt empty, including Zhuang Zhou. Until the last moment, he still believed in miracles. However, after witnessing the completion of the Dragon God's Reverse Swallow's Flight Return, he despaired because it demonstrated the mecha's overwhelming performance. Only a new type of mecha could achieve such a move. What made Rampaging Lion Robby truly terrifying was that he executed it with a medium-sized mecha, a move that should only be possible with a light-weight mecha.

It was still so perfect.
Was this the power of top-tier combatants?
Robby's supporters erupted in cheers. Honestly, they had been quite nervous throughout the match. Fortunately, Rampaging Lion was Rampaging Lion. The defeat in the Mecha Wars Tournament had clearly propelled him to great heights. This was the mark of a true champion. Setbacks only made him stronger. It was also the characteristic of Earthlings—flourishing with favorable winds and unleashing extraordinary potential against headwinds. That was why NUP's consecutive victories were always overturned.
Only a three-peat could be considered a dynasty; otherwise, it didn't count.
The Martians felt a little unhappy. Their livestream room was also lively with over 300,000 viewers watching "Fireboy Commentary." "Stay calm, stay calm. It's normal to fail. This show-off will meet his match sooner or later. Unfortunately, it didn't fall into our ROM's hands. Based on my military experience, true champions..."
System prompt: Puppet wins.
The flames of the explosion dissipated, and the blurry figure that fell to the ground wasn't the Dragon God mecha, but the Armor Dragon mecha!
?????
Countless bullet comments flooded the livestream room. Fireboy was also a bit stunned but only for a second. "Oh, unexpected. Puppet actually won. It seems I overestimated Earthlings. After executing the Death God's Three Short Strikes, he didn't have enough energy to control the Reverse Swallow's Flight Return. I've said it before—finishing moves require proficiency and control. Otherwise, they're just empty showmanship. Puppet escaped again. Now let's see what happened with the final strike. I can confidently say that Robby's own attack had a problem."
Meanwhile, the spectators who supported Puppet could hardly believe their ears and eyes. The figure that looked so similar wasn't the Dragon God but the Armor Dragon. Why?
At the same time, in the EMP Hall in Tianjing, there were various exclamations and puzzled voices. Ayumu was also among them. Could they still win?
Although she wasn't a professional, she had watched quite a few matches seriously. Rampaging Lion Robby was also a core member of USE; he was even rumored to have been part of the Solar System Junior Team.
The big screen provided an answer—a replay of the decisive move.
There was nothing wrong with Robby's attack. The Death God's Three Short Strikes were clearly not enough to kill in one blow, but the powerful attacks created enough space for the execution. Robby's Reverse Swallow's Flight Return was truly unexpected, and the movements seemed flawless. However, what made everyone's jaws drop happened.
While Robby performed the Reverse Swallow's Flight Return, the Armor Dragon mecha... It didn't dodge by leaping but instead performed a reverse... Swallow's Flight Return???A faster and more powerful Reverse Swallow's Flight Return, it was a complete counterattack. From the movements to the awareness, Rampaging Lion Robby was completely powerless to fight back and was killed in mid-air without any defensive awareness.
............
In the VIP holographic viewing area, silence prevailed. They had spent their money... and it was worth every penny.
Immediately following the silence, cheers, applause, and exclamations filled the air. Zhuang Zhou's mouth fell open wide. He had been wrong; he shouldn't have doubted his Puppet God. The Reverse Swallow's Flight Return was an instant kill!
The gods had descended!
In the EMP Hall of the American Lion Military Academy, there was silence. Robby's match had undoubtedly been the focus of observation at the American Lion Academy. It could be said that Robby had already displayed all his strength in this match. But what was this Reverse Swallow's Flight Return?
The key was that it was executed with an Armor Dragon mecha, a subpar model. Was there someone like this in USE?
Which military academy did they come from?
Puppet?
What kind of ID was that?
No one could find a similar skilled player in their minds. Let alone USE, there was no one in other federations either. How could someone with such skill and presence be an unknown?
This match had completely ignited Puppet's popularity in USE. Winning once was nothing, but defeating Robby with an Armor Dragon and even executing the Reverse Swallow's Flight Return was on a different level.
And now, all the information pointed to... being from the Virtual District???
"How is that possible? Are they teasing me?"
"This maneuver, this level of physical endurance—bearing at least six or seven times the normal gravity, if not more."
"There are rumors that many ancient martial arts families in USE are awakening their genetic powers. Could it be..."
"You're kidding, right? Just that mecha, it's strong, but it's not that mystical."
"Nangong? Ye Family? Or the Wu Family in Tianjing?"
Meanwhile, Robby sat in the cockpit, lost in thought. He wasn't pondering his defeat but rather remembered those words: "Robby, you haven't made much progress in these years."
In a normal battle, his opponent had completely controlled the rhythm. It seemed like he was on the offensive, but that was because his opponent allowed it. The opponent's Reverse Swallow's Flight Return used to suppress his own. The opponent's strength was a level above his own. This was the most terrifying opponent he had encountered, far beyond what the spectators saw. Only those who experienced it firsthand would understand that the opponent hadn't even exerted their full power and hadn't felt satisfied.
And such a person, he had only encountered one in his lifetime. It wasn't in the Mecha Wars Tournament but... in the Solar System Dawn Junior Team five years ago.
Until now, that figure remained etched in his memory. At that time, when the Moon and Mars jointly attacked, they were caught off guard and had already given up hope. They watched helplessly as Nangong Yuhang was killed, and the dignity of Earthlings was trampled upon. Then, the doors opened, that person appeared, and the doors closed again, reclaiming the dignity of Earthlings from the grave.
But in the end, the person who saved the entire Earth camp bore the consequences of the incident and disappeared without a trace.
It must be him!
Only him!
Robby's heart thumped wildly, and it took him a while to calm his breathing before sending a friend request to Puppet.
Second Brother...
