• Xu Zhi used her mastery of multiple attributes and superior secrecy to identify and strike a weakness in [Moth]'s circuits.

• Xu Zhi summoned Familiars back into her body, activated multiple abilities, and sent a Gyrfalcon at [Severing] as the axe came down.

• Xu Zhi sent Xiao Zhen to strike [Blade], and its [Instant Death] ability made [Blade]'s body, consciousness, and circuit begin to dissipate.
• Even after [Blade] vanished, its attack continued toward Xu Zhi, who used her [Opening] and [Forge] powers to briefly halt the giant axe with a formation.

• Xu Zhi repaired the Little Aberration with rule symbols, then began regrowing her own flesh while [Lamp] held [Cup] back.
• Xu Zhi determined that [Cup] was the only remaining threat and prepared to recover quickly so she could find [Lamp].
