In outer space, force fields can continuously apply acceleration to objects, making this the most suitable battlefield for Ames. Force field abilities are originally biased towards defense and control, but in Ames' hands, they become powerful and heavy.

Under the influence of the force field, the speed of the Dragon Calm continues to increase. Its huge size is equivalent to a super-large area of effect. If the Dragon Calm is allowed to accelerate Infinite, it will become increasingly difficult to dodge, and its power will also increase.

However, the Dragon Calm is not fast enough yet. In Han Xiao's eyes, it is as slow as a tortoise. He has more than a dozen ways to dodge this Dragon Calm attack. The high mobility of the mecha alone will allow him to bypass it before the Dragon Calm hits him.

However, Ames didn't just throw bricks at people. Her eyes flashed with a dark light, and she released a force field from a distance, binding Han Xiao's body and pulling him back towards Dragon Calm.

Force Field - Dragon's Gaze!

The surrounding area was filled with a force field that seemed to solidify, and Han Xiao was under tremendous pressure. He felt a great resistance in every movement, while at the same time, a pulling force was dragging him forward.

"I've used this trick before..." Han Xiao's lips twitched.

With his current abilities, he wasn't afraid of Ames ' control skills and could easily tear through the force field that imprisoned him. However, he didn't intend to dodge this Dragon Calm Strike. He wanted to test its power to obtain combat information and also test the practical effects of upgrading his Health and Mana Conversion feat.

Dragon Calm is getting closer and closer, rapidly zooming in on its surface, and the landscape of Dragon Calm can already be seen.

An immense pressure loomed over him, and he felt as if the word "danger" had appeared above his head.

Han Xiao steadied himself, raised his arms, and the nanoparticles flowed across the surface of the mecha, gathering on his arms and transforming into shield generators. With a flash of blue light, layers of Psionic Energy shields appeared in front of Han Xiao, forming a defense.

The next moment, Dragon Calm crashed over with a deafening roar, and the immense inertia caused Han Xiao to slam into Dragon Calm's protective shield, propelling him further and further away.

With a flick of her wrist, Ames sent Dragon Calm hurtling towards the gas giant planet, aiming to crash into it and hit Han Xiao.

At the same time, Dark Emperor led his mechanical legion closer to Ames, firing sporadically from a distance, with Psionic Energy particle cannons shooting at Ames.

Ames's ten satellite-level bricks were also busy. Six of them were positioned in different directions around Ames, forming a protective barrier with both energy shields and protective force fields, blocking the vast majority of Psionic Energy cannons.

The gaps in the defense line were filled with a protective force field, leaving no blind spots, and all the incoming Psionic Energy cannons turned into bursts of light.

The other four satellite-level bricks, Force Field Manipulation by Ames ' force field, repeatedly impacted the mechanical legion's formation.

The mechanical legion was far less gentle with the satellite, bombarding it Psionic Energy cannons, blasting craters into the satellite's brick-like structure. Metal fragments floated everywhere, and under Ames's control, these fragments transformed into a metal storm that swept through the mechanical legion, leaving scratches on the mechanical soldiers' bodies.

Ignoring these attacks, the Apostle Weapon forces quickly approached Ames's protective defenses. Dark Emperor suddenly swung his spear, unleashing an energy wave that struck the protective field, causing a violent explosion and creating a breach.

The next instant, a new force field filled the gap. Just as Dark Emperor was about to continue his attack, Ames flicked her finger, and an invisible force field enveloped the approaching Apostle Weapon, pulling them away. Then, an even larger force field was generated, splitting the charging mechanical legion's formation like Moses parting the sea. One by one, the mechanical soldiers were thrown away by the force field, demonstrating her powerful control ability to the fullest.

The ability to control force fields over a wide area is effective against large-scale human wave tactics.

Just then, a flash of light appeared behind Ames, and Heavenly Wild Hunt leaped and teleported behind Ames, opening his mouth to reveal high-frequency resonant alloy teeth, biting down on her waist.

The upper and lower jaws snapped shut, but the bite landed on nothing.

A long, slender, white finger suddenly touched the head of the Heavenly Wild Hunt's mechanical beast. Ames was turned upside down, and the Void Bloodline pattern appeared on her face—she directly used Void Leap to dodge the sneak attack. Since obtaining the Evolution Cube, her mobility has increased by more than a little bit.

The surging force field traveled along his fingers and instantly blasted into Heavenly Wild Hunt's body.

Force Field - Finger Shockwave!

Cracks suddenly appeared on Heavenly Wild Hunt's body, and a large number of parts were crushed and crushed. The machine was severely damaged, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped away to escape, away from Ames.

The range of force field abilities is very wide, but the closer to the user, the stronger the force field becomes.

Suddenly, Ames sensed fluctuations in the Void Dimension. Looking up, she saw that Han Xiao, who had been slammed onto the Dragon Calm, had disappeared, using Void Leap to escape the attack range.

Han Xiao shook his slightly numb arm, glanced at the battle information, and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It actually dealt me overwhelming damage; only a martial artist like Heber could crush Dragon Calm with his head."

Unfortunately, despite the high damage output, Han Xiao didn't take it seriously at all; even the strongest AoE attack from Ames had its limits.

His current healing efficiency is extremely high. As long as the enemy's burst damage is not high enough, or there is no special attack effect such as [Severe Injury], his body is not afraid.

The Dragon Calm, having missed its target, did not continue its attack on the gas giant. Instead, it circled around and rammed towards Han Xiao again. Its massive body swept across the planet, leaving obvious traces of turbulence in the gas on the planet's surface, forming a large storm that, when viewed from above, resembled a vortex pattern.

In the distance Ames Dragon's Gaze again, and Han Xiao felt another binding force field enveloping him. However, he had already received the battle information and was not prepared to fall for it this time. He slammed his hands together.

Buzz!

The mecha shuddered, continuously releasing repulsive force, creating a "field" within a few meters. The outer shell was filled with repulsive force, while the interior was filled with chaotic undercurrents of repulsive force.

This "field" deflected most of Ames's force field, while the few that broke through the outer shell were deflected by the internal disorder, greatly reducing their strength and Dragon's Gaze almost ineffective.

This is a "Anti-Dragon Emperor Device" specially created by Han Xiao. The principle is to superimpose repulsive rings to form a repulsive shield field, which is used to neutralize external force fields and greatly weaken the influence of force fields on itself.

However, since it is a mechanical device, its performance has an upper limit. The strength of the Ames force field can be continuously increased. Given time, it can break the repulsive shield field. Therefore, Han Xiao does not plan to get close to Ames. Instead, he wanders at a distance, playing hide-and-seek with Dragon Calm, and controlling the mechanical legion to entangle and attack.

Seeing that Han Xiao didn't approach, Ames began to move on her own, dealing with the mechanical legion while flying towards Han Xiao.

Seeing this, Han Xiao also retreated to maintain distance. After breaking free from the force field's control technique, Dragon Calm couldn't catch up with him at all. His mobility was clearly superior to Ames', and he firmly maintained the initiative.

Seeing that a single Dragon Calm couldn't do anything to Han Xiao, Ames formed her hand into a claw and made a grasping motion towards a satellite-sized brick that was impacting the mechanical legion's formation.

The satellite-sized brick stopped abruptly, as if frozen in place. Then, layers of force fields began to compress, and the ever-increasing pressure caused the satellite-sized brick to tremble, with the metal being squeezed inward and its density gradually increasing.

Ames slowly stretched her arm backward, compressing the force field and accumulating enormous elasticity. The next moment, her eyes shone brightly, and she clenched her fist, blasting it out like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. The elasticity superimposed on the satellite-level brick instantly exploded!

This satellite-sized brick suddenly started spinning from a standstill, like a stone launched by a slingshot, its instantaneous acceleration far exceeding that of a cannonball, and it hurtled towards Han Xiao!

Force Field Satellite Cannon!

The terrifying instantaneous acceleration ripped off a layer of metal, almost causing the metal-cast artificial satellite to disintegrate.

A satellite-shaped brick came hurtling towards him, but Han Xiao's eyes flashed. He neither dodged nor avoided it, acting as if he didn't see it.

At the same moment, the Silver Flash in the distance instantly transformed into the body of the planet-destroying cannon and fired a shot towards the satellite!

The thick, bright silver beam arrived first, hitting the satellite brick precisely and piercing it through like a knife through a meatball!

The next moment, the metal satellite expanded from the inside out, bursting out with a dazzling, fiery red light, and exploded in front of Han Xiao like an orange bursting with juice!

The metal that made up the satellite was instantly melted through by the high temperature of the star destroyer, and all the fragments turned into red molten metal, like splashing orange juice.

A huge artificial satellite was launched and exploded right before his eyes, Han Xiao casually dodged the splashing high temperature that melted the metal.

This seemed to be a signal; the durability of more satellite bricks had reached its limit, and they were destroyed by concentrated fire from the mechanical legion, with three more quickly disappearing.

Only six satellite tiles controlled by Ames remain, and they are all badly damaged, seemingly on the verge of disintegrating at any moment.

Gazing at this scene from afar, Han Xiao remained calm and muttered to himself:

"What are you going to do next?"

Ames's attacks were fierce, but they did little damage to Han Xiao. The mechanical warrior, having undergone multiple enhancements, was incredibly tough and was no longer a substandard product that could be easily crushed by a force field. Although Ames seemed to have the upper hand, Han Xiao was actually in complete control, maintaining the rhythm of the battle.

Ames sensed this too, and narrowed her eyes.

"My attacks had no effect on him; he neutralized them all..."

She could tell that Han Xiao was mainly playing defensively and had little desire to attack; he was clearly holding back.

Even so, he couldn't do anything about Han Xiao!

"Has it grown to this point...?"

Ames narrowed her eyes, finally experiencing firsthand Han Xiao's power. The difference in strength was already quite obvious; Black Star was far stronger than her.

However, she didn't show much emotion; the battle wasn't over yet, and she wouldn't give up halfway.

Ames suddenly grabbed at the gas giant planet, and a large cluster of ring meteorites, drawn by the force field, transformed into her weapons, like a series of meteor-like fists, smashing down on the mechanical legion.

Force Field - Dragon Breath Meteor Fist!

This planetary ring system is her vast arsenal!

"No wonder you specifically chose this place as the battlefield." Han Xiao nodded to himself.

The meteorites in the planetary rings continuously became Ames's weapons, crashing down on the mechanical legion time and time again. The mechanical legion also repeatedly shattered the incoming meteorite swarms. Under Han Xiao's leadership, the battle inevitably turned into a tug-of-war that wore down their strength.

As the two battled around the desolate planet, a fleet hovered in the distance—it was Dragon Calm's armed fleet.

Because the base was used by the boss to attack people, these fleets could no longer stay in Dragon Calm, so they had to watch the battle from the sidelines with everyone on board.

Although the low property prices in Dragon Calm are due to risk factors, people still buy properties. At this moment, seeing their assets bought with their own money being used for fighting, many crew members' eyelids twitch. Every time Dragon Calm clashed, their emotions would rise and fall.

Inside the main ship, a group of Dragon Calm officers were watching the battle. Seeing their leader gradually becoming passive, their expressions turned grim.

Black Star is indeed an ally, but as members of the Dragon Calm, they naturally hope that Ames will win.

Besides the officers, there were two remote projections present, Hila and Aurora, both staring intently at the battlefield.

There was no need to keep the private duel a secret; Verna informed Hila and Aurora, who, as Ames's students, also had the right to know.

"The teacher is no match for Black Star." Aurora looked conflicted.

Hila nodded, her expression complex.

The two sisters are in a rather awkward position; they are both executives of Black Star and students of Dragon Emperor, and both sides have close ties to them, so they don't know who to support.

Hila had studied under Ames for ten years and was well aware of Ames's power, which filled her with respect. Seeing her beloved teacher being overwhelmed by Black Star, she felt quite conflicted.

The aftershocks of the battle with the Beyond Grade A made her realize that this was not a battle she could intervene in; it was far too early for her to reach her current level. Even with Hila strong personality, Hela couldn't help but feel a little self-doubt at this moment.

Beyond Grade A beings are terrifying; planets are just toys to them. Could I really possess such power...?

Countless fragments of meteorites and metal parts floated on the battlefield, and the two engaged in a back-and-forth tug-of-war that lasted for a long time.

Manipulating the force field for an extended period of time depleted Ames's strength and stamina. Her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, her condition was clearly declining, and the strength and range of her force field gradually decreased.

In contrast, Han Xiao remained energetic and vigorous. He possessed [High-Efficiency Energy Absorption], making his mana regeneration efficiency far superior to that of Ames.

He had no shortage of mana, so he kept using [Advanced Mechanical Generation] and [Scrap Modification] to revive the fallen mechs, resulting in minimal legion losses.

As Ames' condition declined, his initiative on the battlefield became increasingly apparent. Ames ' protective force field defenses had been breached by the Apostle Weapon, who successfully closed in. She was preoccupied with dealing with numerous Apostle Weapon and was unable to launch an attack on Han Xiao's main body.

Dark Emperor thrust his spear fiercely towards Ames's abdomen. Ames twisted her waist to avoid a direct confrontation. Dark Emperor War Spear grazed her protective force field, leaving a trail of shimmering light.

Another Apostle Weapon, Golden Supreme, launched a surprise attack from the side, but his fist was blocked by a force field.

Ames raised her long leg and lashed out like a whip. The leg force, amplified by the force field, instantly kicked a huge gash in the Golden Supreme's abdominal armor. Then, she slapped the Golden Supreme away with her backhand, sending parts flying everywhere.

Suddenly, another Apostle Weapon launched a sneak attack, firing a Psionic Energy cannon that shattered the force field on her back and struck her body. Ames immediately frowned, feeling the pain.

Upon seeing this, Han Xiao, who was watching the battle from a distance, had a flash in his eyes.

"That's about it, she has very little strength left."

Just then, Ames suddenly looked up at Han Xiao, who was slacking off in the distance, and pulled with both hands, releasing a powerful suction force centered on herself, pulling all the apostle Apostle Weapon and mechanical warriors from all directions toward her.

Caught off guard, the numerous mechanized soldiers huddled together.

At this moment, Han Xiao's perception suddenly stirred, and he sensed the fluctuations in the Void Dimension.

Without hesitation, Han Xiao turned around and raised his arm, blocking the whip kick wrapped in a powerful force field. It was Ames Void Leap.

"How dare you get close to me... Are you going all in?"

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, and he grabbed Ames's calf with his other hand, pulling her sharply towards himself. He then punched Ames in the stomach with his other fist.

Bang!

In the heat of the moment, Ames blocked the Heavy Strike with her abdominal force field, and at the same time raised her palm, compressing the force field into a sharp, invisible blade, and slashed at Han Xiao's neck.

However, before his hand was even halfway through its swing, Han Xiao grabbed Ames's thigh with one hand and her neck with the other, while his back thrusters were running at full power, dragging her into a meteorite.

The meteorite was shattered upon impact, but Han Xiao didn't stop. He grabbed her and rushed into the star ring meteorite cluster, smashing meteorite after meteorite against her body.

The two figures transformed into a streak of light, circling the planet and shattering countless meteorites. Han Xiao felt the protective force field of Ames in his palm growing weaker and weaker, almost disappearing.

Han Xiao slowed down and crashed into another meteorite. This time, it didn't shatter, but instead pressed Ames into the meteorite, bringing the two of them to a stop.

The mech released a cloud of oxygen, enveloping the two of them. Han Xiao put away his helmet, revealing his head, and shook his head.

"You're almost out of energy. You've lost."

At this moment, Ames frowned, enduring the pain. Her black dress had many tear marks, revealing her fair skin. Her slender neck was roughly held in Han Xiao's hand, and one of her legs was also trapped between Han Xiao's arms. She couldn't break free.

Upon hearing this, Ames forced a smile, "No... I still have the strength for one last strike."

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Fine, let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."

Under his gaze, Ames slowly raised her arm, curled her fingers, and gently flicked Han Xiao's forehead.

There was no force whatsoever.

Han Xiao raised an eyebrow, his expression showing some surprise.

Ames withdrew her hand, dissipating the almost vanished protective force field. Her tense body relaxed, and she smiled gently.

"Alright, I've used up my last bit of strength. You win."

Han Xiao released his grip on Ames's neck and helplessly touched his forehead.

"Naughty."
