Missiles from the Earth Force fleet came screaming toward Orb's first coastal line of defense. The emplacements within the defensive line, along with the tanks and MS behind them, opened fire at once. The instant countless beams and missiles collided, the destroyed missiles triggered a chain reaction. One red fireball after another erupted, detonating even more missiles.
Four streaks of light flashed across the sky. The four Lightning Aegis units descended from above and scattered far apart, positioning themselves in front of the missiles launched by the Earth Force.
"Things that lock onto and track targets with radar are useless against GN Particles." Xiao Ran watched the countless missiles on the screen expressionlessly. With a push of his hand, he released GN Particles at full power once more. Green wings dozens of meters long appeared behind the Lightning Aegis units, while even more GN Particles spread farther out through the combined release of all four machines, draping the entire area before Orb's defensive line in a dreamlike green haze.
The moment those missiles entered the GN Particle field, they turned into headless flies, crashing about everywhere. Whenever two missiles collided, sparks erupted and triggered further chain reactions. As countless headless flies slammed into one another or exploded after being detonated, everything before the four machines was painted red.

A faint smile curled at Xiao Ran's lips. He pushed his left hand forward, and the Lightning Aegis charged directly into the flaming cloud created by the exploding missiles. The GN-BITs on its body launched instantly, piercing through it like sharp swords.
