Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 1067: Inner Desire 3


Vladimir's projectile trajectory was easily altered, accompanied by a ricochet. The rebound from the bullet's impact not only rescued Mirami but also struck an unguarded weak point on Vladimir's mech.

Was it a coincidence? Of course, it couldn't have been just a coincidence, but there was one prerequisite—the person had to be the Revenge Shadow Rider. Back then, it had used this kind of gunplay before. If once or twice could still be considered a coincidence, then gathering ten, twenty, or even more such coincidences on a single person would no longer be mere chance. These sorts of feats could only be orchestrated by God.

It!

Was God, irreplaceable.

In this world, only the Revenge Shadow Rider could accomplish what ordinary people could not.

In that moment, people were stunned. The FCA went silent. The enemy factions were speechless. The Federation soldiers, on the other hand, were completely overwhelmed by shock and joy, unable to extricate themselves. Yes, the Revenge Shadow Rider was no longer limited to the Federation. It was the pride of the world, the legend of humanity.

Some might say Kexiao is strong, but that strength is not unreachable. On the contrary, even if Kexiao were to face five super soldiers simultaneously, he would still struggle considerably. In the face of sheer numbers, opponents wouldn't be overly intimidated by Kexiao.

Maybe Roland is powerful, but that power is merely strength in its simplest form. It lacks divine ingenuity; it lacks the epic aura; it lacks the fervent, blood-boiling conviction that inspires. Looking at the world, apart from Revenge Shadow Rider, there is no longer a Flame Dual Slash, nor will anyone ever replicate its legend.

Even after so much time has passed, discussions about the Revenge Shadow Rider remain as heated as ever.

Because of the war, the financial crises of various nations, and the absence of the Revenge Shadow Rider on the Star Network, the once-glorious Star Network has since fallen into a slump. Even a cadet fresh out of military academy could dominate the Star Network nowadays.

Yes, people hadn't seen wrong, nor had they misheard. On the Sky Ladder rankings, even someone like Youyu, a rookie Red Cloak who had just graduated from the academy, could now reach the highest levels on the current Star Network.

Her young fans, even more reckless, exaggerated Youyu's abilities, comparing her to past champions—because this group of young people had never experienced war, had never stepped onto a battlefield, and had never caught the most dazzling era. They could never understand how terrifying the real Revenge Shadow Rider was.

They believed the legend of the Revenge Shadow Rider was nothing more than exaggerated hearsay, a product of echo chambers. On the contrary, they were convinced that whatever the Revenge Shadow Rider could do, a genius like Youyu could also achieve.

In this world, there is no shortage of geniuses. Jiu Ling is a genius, Sky Shadow is a genius, Apophis is a genius, and Dovir is also a genius, their talents far surpassing Youyu's. This includes Margaret from the Diya Alliance, and Lily and Reiko from the Weibang Federation. But among these true warriors, who had lived through war, who could possibly be compared to a mere military cadet graduate?

A truly powerful warrior would never frequently proclaim their own strength. The reason Youyu was able to achieve great status was entirely because this new generation didn't pay attention to Star Wars.

When they appeared in the Star Wars era, it just so happened to coincide with the reign of the Revenge Shadow Rider. And their purpose in joining the Star Wars wasn't to play a game; it was to challenge a legend—the Revenge Shadow Rider.

People were moved by Shadow Rider, roared for Shadow Rider, and went mad for Shadow Rider.

During the period when the Revenge Shadow Rider left, one would find that Star Galactic Warfare's online participation rates had plummeted to a terrifyingly low point.

It can be said that the last match between Zhang Xiaobo and Youyu drew an audience of nearly a billion. Such a number is unimaginable for an average person. In fact, even Youyu hadn't expected that a single wager would attract so many viewers.

But Youyu's novice fans had no idea—or rather, they never tried to understand—that this so-called audience was not even a fraction of what the Revenge Shadow Rider could attract during its prime.

Zhang Xiaobo vividly remembered the last championship match of the Revenge Shadow Rider. Just a fragment of its audience alone reached hundreds of billions! What kind of terrifying popularity was that?

At that time, he was already an unconfirmed super-warrior, but even so, he could barely make it to the top 16 and could advance no further. This so-called top 16 also involved a fair amount of luck and fluke, as Zhang Xiaobo hadn't encountered Sky Shadow, Jiu Ling, Hugo, or other warriors stronger than himself on his way up. Instead, he was matched with some certified in-game champions. This was the only reason Zhang Xiaobo was able to advance to that stage.

He believed that his personal strength was half a step behind the top fighters from other nations. Yet despite this, he easily defeated the strongest champion, Youyu, in their recent wager.

One must understand, during the era when the Revenge Shadow Rider reigned supreme, his own abilities weren't even comparable to Jiu Ling, who was one level below the Revenge Shadow Rider. To take it a step further, he had lost to Ophelia in that championship match, and Ophelia's abilities were by no means even on par with Jiu Ling. And yet, now, this same Zhang Xiaobo could shine in the game, sweeping through opponents, which only goes to show how much the times have changed. Add to this the media manipulation and the political suppression by various nations.

After all, the Revenge Shadow Rider is but a legend. It could be recognized by the Federation, it could be recognized by the world, but due to political necessity, memories of it would inevitably be diluted.
