The exploding Anti-Beam Flares scattered countless particles before vanishing, forming an invisible beam barrier. The most immediate effect was a sharp drop in the intensity of the beams released by the BETAs, greatly reducing the threat to the Defense Force. However, the Defense Force's own beam weapons were affected as well.
Facing the attacks of countless Assault Types flying like warheads, having their own attacks affected was certainly not a good thing. But as the effects of the Anti-Beam Flares spread, it finally gave the Burning Legion's Drone Unit a chance to enter the battle. Aside from the small number of drones accompanying Cruze, Ingram, and other A-Class Pilots into the BETA swarm to prepare for self-destruction, even more drones equipped with MDE rounds shot out from behind the Defense Force, trailing long streaks and afterimages as they charged straight toward the incoming BETAs.
These drones consisted of three types: the smallest and most agile GHOST Drones, transformable diamond-shaped drones from the OG World, and Variable Fighter drones. All of them were ordinary drones without Super AI. The dozen or so Super AI Robots, divided into three small squads for testing, had not been deployed in this battle at all.
These drones, finally sent into action, moved more nimbly than over ninety-nine percent of the pilots in this world. Their numbers also exceeded those thousand-odd units from this world, and the destruction they could wreak was even more terrifying.
In battle, a GHOST Drone might have been directly ahead of someone one moment, only to appear above them the next in a blur of afterimages and impossible movements. The instant the Gatling gun mounted beneath its body flashed, a BETA would be torn to pieces.
In fact, none of the drones even needed to evade the Assault Types that had
