If it couldn't be done, it couldn't be done.
"Ugh...!!"
The battle had become the cruelest, most primitive kind of "metal brawl."
Blue-white and crimson-black figures crossed, collided, and separated at high speed in space, every clash accompanied by teeth-grinding metallic impacts and scattering sparks.
The Allied forces could only watch this battle beyond their comprehension, their hearts lodged in their throats.
The machines might have been able to withstand it, but the people inside were another matter.
"The machine—can't keep up!"
Kira dodged and blocked, but the more he did so, the more he discovered Star-picker's shortcomings.
It could not move as naturally as his own limbs. Without Inori Yuzuriha's assistance, even dodging itself would have been difficult.
His senses had indeed expanded.
But it still wasn't enough—!
"No, no, no—what are you all standing around for?! Black Knights, deploy everyone! At the very least, clear out all those damned warships, especially that eyesore, the Archangel!"
Aura immediately issued the order.
She was beginning to panic.
A battle that exceeded the limits of human understanding simply could not be restrained by current technology.
If Star-picker won this war, the Black Knights would be in danger too.
But—at the very least, they had to clear out all the other machines!
By then, neither Star-picker nor... Indra would be a problem.
Durandal silently closed his eyes.
He had already seen through it.
Aura was afraid.
She was not merely afraid of Star-picker. She was even more afraid of what would happen if Indra could no longer be controlled by her afterward.
And just as the battlefield nearly fell silent, an invisible warship had quietly sailed behind the asteroid. Then, a red-haired girl stealthily infiltrated the base.
