Mu immediately realized that things would never be this simple.
Under Rey's control, the Dragoon System did not open fire. Instead, it charged straight at Akatsuki.
The attack was not beams, but the Dragoons themselves!
These were no cheap atmospheric-use Dragoons. They were the Legend Gundam's original equipment!

Akatsuki was not afraid of beam attacks, but solid ammunition was another matter.
The shield was still useful, but it could not defend against attacks coming from every direction.
These Dragoon Terminals did not even need to inflict serious damage. As long as they destabilized Akatsuki, Legend and the drones could coordinate to damage it.

Mu pulled the control stick as far as he could, making minute adjustments with the pedals and pushing Akatsuki Gundam's performance to its limit.
Not Akatsuki Gundam's limit, but Mu's own.
Akatsuki Gundam moved in an instant.
Though he had not "seeded," Mu indeed possessed exceptional spatial awareness.
Since he was not an absurd existence like Kira or Inori Yuzuriha, Mu did not simply charge or retreat in straight lines. Instead, he swayed unpredictably left and right as he dodged, weaving through gaps in countless intersecting attacks, rolling, stopping sharply, and changing direction.

Meanwhile, Rey had already used every trick he had and was beginning to
