The Mech Touch

tives and sacred gods were concerned, nothing could fly! Their limited worldview didn ’t incorporate flying objects.
In fact, not a single bird made up part of the planet ’s artificial ecosystem.

”The transport is prepared to drop the power generators onto the projected path of the sacred gods, ma ’am.
The engineers aboard the transport are awaiting your orders. ”

Captain Byrd faced a difficult decision.
Once they did this, they might suffer unintentional consequences.
The sheer energy released from detonating three power generators at a time would deal a lot of damage to the environment.

In addition, losing those three power generators meant that the ground forces wouldn ’t be able to generate as much energy to replenish their energy.
This created an even greater deficit in their energy budget that would be very hard to make up unless they figured out the secrets behind the god crystals that the natives used to call down an energy tornado.

”Is the camp at risk at this point? ”

”We ’ll suffer light damage, ma ’am, but the heavy cannons placed at the front of the camp will bear the brunt of the shockwave and emissions released from the simultaneous detonations. ”

Captain Byrd needed to make up her mind fast.
If the sacred gods got any closer, the detonations would inflict increasingly serious damage to the camp!

Everyone feared what the Starlight Megalodon might think, but it was too late for regrets now.

”Drop the power generators in one minute.
All mechs, pull back and put as much distance as possible! ”

The rifleman mechs stopped firing their lasers and immediately turned tail to run.
The melee mechs that had been prepared to face the sacred gods in melee did likewise!

Even the Vandals manning the huge artillery guns placed in the front of the camp all evacuated the weapons and sought out a better form of shelter.

A power generator deliberately induced to blow up at their maximum strength was no joke! The vast majority of cases where power generators malfunctioned only caused a single chamber to be annihilated, with most of the reactants left inert.
A simple explosion wouldn ’t be able to cause these stable reactants to unleash their energy.

However, if manipulated in special circumstances, the reactants could be induced to unleash the majority of their energy at a single instant.

This was exactly what the engineers had done, and that was why every mech tried to get the hell away from the range of the impending detonations!

”Five, four, three, two, one, the power generators are dropping! ”

Three objects fell out of the cargo hold in quick succession.
The engineers placed each of the power generators into a makeshift aeronynamic shell in order to steer their fall a bit.
Right now, they were dropping right into the path of the sacred gods.

Seconds passed as they kept falling and falling.
They dropped at such a height to buy the flying transport enough time to escape the area.

BOOOOOM!

A humongous explosion that combined the fury of three power generators detonated at the same took place in close proximity over the space barrier of the sacred gods.

All of the sensors the Vandals pointed towards the explosion temporarily went blind as a flood of light and heat and other emissions momentarily blinded them.
The entire bunker shook horribly as the explosion also shook the surrounding terrain.

The energy released by the explosion was incredibly violent and had certainly scoured the entire area!

The camp wasn ’t exempt from the damage as most of the artillery cannons slightly became deformed and sustained other forms of damage.
They paid for the cheap construction by being susceptible to damage!

The Akkara mechs fared much better as their superior alloys easily endured the repercussions of the explosion.
The camp itself consisted of solid prefab structures that were designed to withstand a certain level of shock, so none of the buildings toppled over, though they did sustain some form of damage on the side facing the explosion.

As the worst of the blast slowly faded away, the smoke, heat and debris released from the blast formed into a mushroom cloud.

”What is the status of the targets?! ”

”We ’re unable tell! Our sensors can ’t penetrate the cloud of heat and smoke! ”

They needed to wait several more minutes until all of the debris and smoke and fire in the air finally faded away to allow the Vandals to see the result of their reckless action.

”The space barrier has disappeared! The sacred gods all show visible signs of injury! ”

”Pairixan and Qilanxo are still alive and conscious! ”

”All of the beast riders are gone! They ’ve likely been burned or vaporized from the blast! ”

Both beasts looked terrible.
The three smaller sacred gods didn ’t show any signs of life.

All five beasts bore scorched and broken scales.
Some of the damage dug deep into their flesh and charred it extensively.

The most important detail was that none of the beasts were projecting any forms of defense! Their god crystals had grown dim as defending their bodies from the incredibly powerful blast had overcome the formidable defenses of Qilanxo ’s space barrier and their personal defense fields!

”We ’re detecting strong seismic activity! ”

”Pairixan is expending his final reserves of energy! ”

”Don ’t let the beast pull off his final move! All mechs, get back into range and open fire on Pairixan! ”

The Akkara mechs opened fire first.
Their artillery shells landed accurately onto Pairixan after being fed targeting data from nearby sensors.
The closest rifleman mechs turned back and peppered Pairixan with dozens of lasers.

This time, no space barrier or energy field stood in the way, and their absence made an immediate difference!

”It ’s just like slaughtering a wild god! Without their energy, they ’re just giant exobeasts with a lot of meat! ”

Pairixan ’s huge size and strong layers of abnormally strong muscle and fat caused him to hold out for a minute, but the sheer weight of fire sent in his direction inevitably did him in.
After some time, the Vandals became sure that Pairixan died.

They won!
