Lin Ze discovered that one of this world's Grand Burial powers resided in an eighty-meter mecha piloted by a despairing consciousness. The mecha broke through his Eternal Space-Time Grand Burial and nearly froze his thoughts with its attack, forcing him to escape through a spatial rift as its beam continued to devastate everything in its path.
