Eastern Alliance, Planet An Lun.
Surrounded by mountains was a valley.
Within the valley was a world of metal. Metal houses, metal equipment, metal hovercars, and even giant metal mechas!
Surrounding the valley was a mountain range of mountains. The west side of the valley was the tallest, its peak hidden in the clouds.
At that moment, there were two people standing on the summit of the mountain.
The clouds and mist surged, making their figures faintly discernible.
The red-haired Chu Cheng had his hands in his pockets, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. The tip of the cigarette flickered in and out of view.
"Boss, you didn't call me here just to enjoy the mountain breeze, did you?" Chu Cheng said lazily.
He was always like this. No matter what time it was, he looked like he hadn't woken up yet.
Not far in front of Chu Cheng, there was another man. He wore a black combat suit, which fully displayed his tall and straight physique. His shoulders were broad, but there was no redundancy. He wasn't particularly muscular, but when he stood there, he looked like a javelin.
On the shoulder of his black combat uniform, there was a golden star on one side.
A general!
This black-haired man looked to be in his thirties, but he was actually a general.
With the advancement of science and technology, it was extremely difficult to stand out in the military. One had to have real military merits in order to be promoted quickly.
For most soldiers, thirty was the age at which they were just starting to work hard.
The average age of generals in the Eastern Alliance was fifty-one.
Considering the average lifespan of a hundred and twenty, a general in his thirties was a rare sight.
"How is he?" The black-haired man turned to look at Chu Cheng.
He had a pair of pale green eyes, which, when paired with his black hair, gave him a sinister appearance. But the determination in his eyes completely suppressed it.
His face was resolute, with a hint of weathering, as if he had been chiseled by a knife.
Imperceptibly, an oppressive force shot out from his body, like an indestructible sharp blade.
"I don't think that's a good idea."
Chu Cheng lazily rubbed his nose. He did not have much of a reaction to the sharp aura of the black-haired man in front of him.
The black-haired man's eyes softened. "It's been three years. He still hasn't gotten over it?"
Chu Cheng sighed softly and said, "Don't you know his temper?
If it were so easy to get out, we wouldn't have to worry about him.
Boss, if you have time, you should go and see him.
Although there were some misunderstandings between the two of you, you were still the one he trusted the most back then!
Moreover, you are his biological brother after all. "
The black-haired man's eyes turned cold again. "He's right to blame me.
I misjudged the situation, which led to Hera's death. "
Chu Cheng frowned and said, "Boss, we all know what the truth is, why do you have to take the blame for it?
Look at you, he hasn't been home for three years. What about you?
For the past three years, he had always been in this military camp.
Your mecha operators are almost inhuman because of your training. "
The black-haired man said coldly, "I didn't ask you to come here to teach me what to do.
He's decadent, you're not improving. Both of you need to be taught a lesson. "
"Ugh …" Chu Cheng took a step back. "Boss, if you're angry at Ah Jue, don't take it out on me!"
The black-haired man said calmly, "This has nothing to do with anger.
My strength needs to be honed. Since you're here, let me see if you've improved in the past few years. "
As he spoke, he suddenly took a step forward. Suddenly, his pale green eyes suddenly burst out with dazzling green light. The surrounding clouds and mist were all shattered in an instant, rising into rays of green light that soared into the sky.
"Boss, are you serious?" Chu Cheng screamed, the laziness on his face instantly disappearing.
A strong flame rose from his back. At first, it was pure red, but as the green light grew stronger, the red gradually turned orange, then deep red, and finally a strange dark red. In the center of the flame was a deep black.
The black-haired man didn't say anything else. He raised his right hand and the green light transformed into a strong blade of light. It was like a huge green lotus had bloomed, and Chu Cheng's body was submerged in it.
Within the valley, the people who were busy working were all attracted by the strong light coming from the western mountain peak.
In next to no time, the entire sky had turned azure, and dark red light flickered incessantly within the azure.
The two colors of light brought about a terrifying wave of energy that dispersed the clouds above the valley.
Half an hour later …
"Boss, you're being inhumane!"
Touching half of his red and swollen face, Chu Cheng sat on the ground and gasped in pain. There weren't many parts of his clothes that were intact.
The black-haired man's body was also charred, but he stood there as straight as a javelin.
"You don't have any fighting spirit.
There's no fun in beating you up, "the black-haired man said coldly.
Chu Cheng said angrily, "You beat me up and you're still making sarcastic remarks. You two brothers aren't good people. You're a battle maniac, and Ah Jue likes to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. He's evil, evil, evil.
I'm leaving!
I won't come here next time.
If you can't bear it, take it out on your brother. "
The black-haired man said calmly, "I'll go look for him."
Chu Cheng had just stood up when he heard this. "You're going to look for Ah Jue?"
The black-haired man nodded.
Chu Cheng said doubtfully, "But I heard that you've been accumulating military merits for the past few years, and you're about to be promoted to lieutenant general.
Can you leave at a time like this? "
"Is the position important?" The black-haired man said coldly.
Chu Cheng gave him a thumbs up. "Good. As expected of Prometheus."
The black-haired man said calmly, "Here, call me Lan Qing. Only on the battlefield, I'm Prometheus."
Prometheus, the God of Wisdom!
"I'm leaving.
I'm looking forward to the good news of you beating up Ah Jue.
If you're willing to tell me the time, I can go and watch the show. "
Lan Qing waved his hand, turned towards the valley, and stood with his hands behind his back.
Without the clouds covering the valley, it looked exceptionally clear.
The metal reflected the sunlight, and the sharp light seemed to be absorbed by his body.
Behind his back, Chu Cheng secretly gave him the middle finger. A smile appeared on his face, and he limped down the mountain. After a few steps, a red light lit up in front of him, and a huge black creature quietly appeared. On that huge black body, there were blood-red rays of light.
Among the four brothers, his nickname was: Hades, Hades, the King of Hell!
