Mechanical Miracle

After the enemy Mecha Necromancer took over command, Li Aoz immediately felt the pressure surge.

First, the density of firepower had nearly increased by an order of magnitude, while its lethality had multiplied geometrically. Those fragments seemed to have grown eyes, constantly accelerating through the vacuum of space, even making zero-angle turns, locking tightly onto Li Aoz.

Bang! Li Aoz's bio-armored body shuddered. His health instantly dropped by three percent. Before he could maneuver away, a squad of mechs attacked in alternating triangular formations, charging at him like wave after wave. Restricted by their chain assaults in groups of three, the damage Li Aoz dealt was extremely limited—not enough to wipe them all out.

Even if the frontline mechs crashed, the spiraling formation was still enough to let the mechs behind them finish the job.

"Unit 072, raise the machine gun by six centimeters. Ship 109, deploy an Electromagnetic Smokescreen to block vision. Squadron 761, proceed to coordinates (1202,8975,556). Lioz will be driven there by our artillery fire..."

Du Fen Herman's fingertips flew as his brain continuously received information on every fallen mechanical construct and rapidly issued responses.

"Oh? Did they change commanders?"

Li Aoz fired a series of Aura Missiles, hurriedly blasting open a gap. Just as he was about to break out of the encirclement, an Assault Pod suddenly slammed into him.

Gravity Vortex

The Assault Pod's anti-gravity device neutralized his gravitational shield, and a chill ran through Li Aoz's heart.

Something's wrong with this thing!

Li Aoz pulled out his shotgun and was about to blow it apart, but that was exactly what they wanted.

Boom! The instant he pulled the trigger, the Assault Pod erupted in a cloud of gray mist that rushed into his face. Li Aoz immediately felt Aoneng's output power begin to drop.
