???

At that moment, the protective shield energy in Lieutenant Walker's combat suit had been completely depleted. A sharp pain spread throughout his body, making him feel a searing agony.

Although the shield had absorbed the impact, the terrifying force of the collision had still left Lieutenant Walker dazed and disoriented.

However... Lieutenant Walker had no mind to pay attention to the pain coursing through his body.

At that moment, he stared at the Steel Lizard in despair.

Because... its next attack had already blasted out of the Steel Lizard's mouth, instantly hurtling toward him.

His mind went blank. He could only widen his eyes and helplessly watch the ray grow larger and larger before him.

He had already prepared himself mentally for death.

However... in the next second, he suddenly saw a silver radiance envelop him.

Before he could react, his vision blurred. When it cleared again, someone had already rescued him and brought him to one side of the ray, just barely avoiding its attack.

Feeling the terrifying force pass by him, Wokert broke out in a cold sweat.

He had escaped death by a hair!

Wokert immediately turned his gaze toward the figure who had rescued him.

When he saw that it was actually a silver-white mecha, relief suddenly appeared on Wokert's face. He then said, "Has the Empire finally sent reinforcements?"

To his surprise... a familiar voice suddenly came through the combat suit's communications system.

"Mr. Wokert, stay focused. The Empire didn't send reinforcements. It was me! Su Ming!"

"The crisis isn't over yet. Don't let your guard down!"

Wokert's eyes widened as he looked at the silver mecha.

"Su Ming???"

"How is that possible? Why do you have a mecha? Are you a mecha warrior?"

Wokert still found it impossible to believe.

Even someone of his rank had never had the chance to pilot a mecha. He had never imagined that the unremarkable-looking Su Ming would actually be piloting one now!

"We'll talk about that later!"

Su Ming's voice was filled with urgency. Wokert then saw the silver mecha before him vanish from its spot and charge fiercely toward the Steel Lizard!

Seeing the silver mecha rescue its target, the Steel Lizard had already taken a dislike to it.

It immediately twisted its body and pounced at the mecha, which looked like nothing more than a tiny speck.

A terrifying ray gathered once more and instantly erupted toward the silver mecha.

However... the mecha seemed able to predict its attack in advance. Its body suddenly swayed left and right, directly dodging the ray it had fired.

At that moment... Su Ming was sitting inside the mecha, operating it with a solemn expression.

His Brain Domain Level had long since been fully released and had fused with the mecha.

Ray after ray blasted toward him in rapid succession!

At that moment, even the other Cosmic Creatures nearby saw Su Ming. One after another, they opened their mouths and fired terrifying rays at him.

Rays were standard equipment for Cosmic Creatures. Because they lived for so long in environments with intense radiation, most Cosmic Creatures had evolved the ability to fire terrifying rays from their mouths.

Radiation was fatal to ordinary life-forms, but to Cosmic Creatures, it was like water to fish.

Everyone aboard the spaceship saw countless rays surge toward the silver mecha from all directions.

"It's over! With attacks this dense, Little Master Su Ming won't be able to dodge them!"

Seeing the barrage of rays, everyone's palms began to sweat, and deep despair flashed through their eyes.

However... as countless rays shot wildly past, the silver mecha performed dozens of different turns and body movements in an instant.

The mecha easily dodged the dense barrage of rays!

"What? How is that possible?"

Everyone aboard the spaceship exchanged glances, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

That maneuvering!

Even the Empire's most elite soldiers couldn't perform maneuvers like that, could they?

It was equivalent to focusing one's mind on every angle at once, finding the openings in countless attacks in an instant, and then avoiding them one by one.

Everyone suspected that even if an Apocalypse Level powerhouse sealed his own energy level and descended to the same level as Su Ming, he might not be able to perform maneuvers more brilliant than Su Ming's.

In the eyes of the soldiers, Su Ming's movements were like the most exquisite art in the world.

Anyone who saw a master's technique would find it pleasing to the eye.

Although that description was somewhat inappropriate in the current situation,

it was nevertheless the feeling quietly arising in the hearts of every soldier.

Su Ming's maneuvers were so pleasing to the eye that they gave everyone goosebumps!

At the center of everyone's attention, Su Ming... had an expression that was frighteningly calm.

He had pushed his mental power to its absolute limit.

The scene before him faintly reminded him of the feeling of training in the system over the past sixteen years.

For sixteen years, he had practiced shooting, dodging, and combat techniques. In an extremely confined space, the system had created countless different scenarios and made Su Ming evade incoming attacks.

At first, Su Ming had been extremely clumsy. Even attacks fired by a single opponent would often strike him.

But after being hit and feeling the pain, he found a way through the system's guidance—and then he would never be hit by the same kind of attack again!

One attack no longer hit him.

Ten attacks no longer hit him.

A hundred, a thousand, ten thousand!

Intense silver radiance erupted from Su Ming's eyes. It was the manifestation of his Brain Domain Level exploding to its absolute peak.

That was right!

Su Ming was excited now!

The blood in his body began to boil, yet his mind remained perfectly calm.

The young man's heart soared higher than the heavens!

After sixteen years of training, Su Ming was confident that at the same energy level and with the same mecha, even an Apocalypse Level expert would not be his match.

Countless attacks came again, like heavenly fire descending upon the world.

Every nerve in Su Ming's body was taut.

"Exchange for 100 Starlight Points!"

Su Ming's calm voice rang out inside the mecha.

The surrounding area was a vacuum, so he had no need to worry about anyone hearing him. He could finally communicate with the system as he pleased!

"Ding... Starlight Points exchanged successfully!"

The system's voice rang out in Su Ming's mind as usual.

It seemed that no matter what happened, nothing could cause the system to fluctuate in the slightest...

At once, Su Ming sensed a powerful surge of Starlight Energy flowing into his body.

With a cold look in his eyes, Su Ming operated the mecha frantically, dodging attack after attack.

Then, amid the sparks from the countless attacks, he fixed an icy gaze on the Steel Lizard ahead.
