Through the simulation video Luo had given him, Xiao Ran watched as a single attack split into tens of thousands of strikes, forming a barrage of beams. He could not help but suck in a cold breath. The scene was simply too shocking. That overwhelming assault inspired a sense of utter helplessness just from looking at it. Both its method of attack and its coverage were terrifying to the extreme. Compared to Darkness Sky, also an A-class mecha, this new unit surpassed it by an unknown margin with this attack alone.
But the video was not over. Another demonstration appeared on the screen. This time, the target was not an entire fleet, but only a small number of enemies. The weapon held in both hands by the new mecha suddenly split apart down the middle, opening a gap of roughly two or three meters and revealing two rows of fine green apertures. Green beams were fired rhythmically from those apertures.
The key lay in those fired beams. Though they could be considered tiny compared to the mecha itself, every shot possessed the attack strength of a Beam Cannon. They trailed long tails like meteors.
