When the Overlord Legion and the Burning Legion had just formed their partnership—or, more precisely, before the previous Legion Wars—Naza had once acted as Xiao Ran's sparring partner. At that time, the power Xiao Ran displayed was already at the very peak of an A-Class Pilot. Even with Quantum Assimilation activated, he had not been her match. Later, even when Cruze, Basak, Luo, Graham, and Nalu joined in, the result had only barely been a draw.

He controlled every dispersed GN Particle, whether released by his own unit or by someone else's, then turned them directly into beams without any terminals at all, transforming the entire field into a death zone. This could already be considered a true domain.
Moreover, during that wave of attacks, Naza had clearly sensed that Xiao Ran was not merely driving his own unit's Solar Furnace to release more GN Particles. Even the Solar Furnaces aboard every other unit had been affected by him. He had linked together all the GN Particles continuously released throughout the War Zone, covering an almost terrifying area that encompassed nearly the entire Earth.
Naza knew perfectly well that even at full strength, she could never distort her field enough to cover the whole Earth. Although Xiao Ran's ability to control such a vast area seemed almost like cheating—after all, the GN Particles had not been dispersed solely through his own efforts, but through everyone's units and warships, with such a long period of preparation—one point was crucial: Xiao Ran could achieve this much. He was only limited by his unit's ability to disperse more GN Particles faster under normal conditions.
Naza also did not know whether Xiao Ran
