113. The Violent Mae

  Swoosh!

  Six thrusters spewed fmes, and powerful thrust sent the dark gray humanoid mobile armor straight into the sky ten thousaers high. In mid-air, it unfolded and transformed into a jet resembling a surfboard, closely following behind Li Aozi and firing purple eleagic beams at him.

  "Che—'t beat me without getting into a Gundam; what kind of man are you!"

  Li Aozi halted abruptly, causing the aerial fighter to rush past him. However, Yin Shuya's piloting skills were astonishing—she spun the aircraft, flipped in mid-air, transformed bato humanoid form, and tinued flying forward while raising her beam rifle aimed at Li Aozi. A mog voice came over the broadcast:

  "Too bad, I'm a female operative!"

  Whoosh—Bang!

  The eleagic field fined and accelerated high-energy particles, almost reag the speed of light. Li Aozi knew su attack was unavoidable; he could only deploy a gravitational field defle and immediately activate optical camoufge. tinuing to fight this iron shell wouldn't be beneficial to him; quickly ging the battlefield was the correct solution.

  Meanwhile, armored units on the ground were advang. The 88mm six-barreled anti-aircraft ons spewed out tinuous, deracer s into the sky like p water. The tracers, which were loaded one every five rounds, now almost formed straight sers in the air. The infantry took out Tianhuan's most advanced 'Venom Fang' anti-air missiles—almost everyone had one—f Li Aozi back down again.

  However, just as Li Aozi had gone invisible, the moment, the meteical station's system deduced his trajectory by deteg abnormal high-altitude wind speeds.

  "Hmph, trying to escape!"

  To capture Li Aozi, the Grand Onmyoji sought approval from higher-ups. Seventy pert of the puting power of Hōjō Group's super artificial intelligence 'Soko' was requisitioo intercept Li Aozi's as around the clock.

  Yin Shuya grinned, and with a thought, the onboard puter received information transmitted by 'Soko'. She turhe gun barrel, and the world in her eyes instantly became incredibly slow.

  【Focused Vision】

  A 【Ranger】 of the 【Destru】 branch possesses absolute firepower suppression in the early stages. The 'Focus' effect obtained by using Qi to stimute the nervous system achieve a miraculous vision akin to 'time stop'.

  Even 【Meics】 have to admit that when piloting bat vehicles, the 【Destru】 branch holds the advantage.

  Qi itself be infused into ons and vehicles like 'entments'. A mobile armor in the hands of a Gamma-level powerhouse, as long as logistics keep up, is enough to destroy a brigade-level bined unit—though the ption is roughly equivalent to a bined brigade.

  Snap.

  The trigger ulled, and once again, ignition was instantaneous. Li Aozi, flying rapidly while invisible, had no time to mind his bad was immediately hit. But he calmly twisted his body, and the armor melted by the beam instantly detached, falling toward the ground, while he quietly nded elsewhere, moving separately from the armor.

  "That's all you've got."

  Yin Shuya sneered.

  Sure enough, this 'shedding the cicada's shell' trick directly fooled Yin Shuya. She immediately pursued the spicuous armor, which fell into the forest, causing a violent explosion and wildfire.

  To firm the kill, Yin Shuya pushed the trol stick to advance slowly. Passing through the forest fire, the giant iron hands of the mech dug through the soil, only to find half of the melted Domination armor.

  "Tsk, fell for it! Ano baka yarou—"

  Yin Shuya cursed under her breath. Suddenly, she instinctively felt a prig sense of danger behind her. Without thinking, she shut down the main engine, causing the mech to lose power and colpse naturally.

  Boom!

  At the moment the mech crashed heavily to the ground, the spot where it had just been standing was engulfed by a burst of fmes. With lingering fear, Yin Shuya quickly rebooted the system. The mech's monitors rotated, and the 40mm Vul ons on both sides of the head poured fire into the forest, immediately f the failed ambusher Li Aozi out of the woods.

  Bang!

  Li Aozi burst out from the woods. The 【Power of Pegasus】 unfolded vast stardust wings, providing strong propulsion like sor sails. His figure was dreamlike as he rapidly closed in, smashing a fist onto the mech's raised beam rifle. The 12-meter-tall, 54-ton mobile armor nearly staggered. Yin Shuya quickly stabilized, discarded the overly long beam rifle, raised the mech's fist, and all the thrusters on its back ignited simultaneously at full power, striking at Li Aozi's mid-air form.

  The mech threunch, and Li Aozi also puhe two fists collided. Li Aozi's scorg fist was enveloped by gravity; the metal rapidly overheated and fatigued, being brittle in an instant. The gravitational twisting tore yer after yer of armor steel apart.

  "What the—are you kidding me!"

  Yin Shuya's eyes were filled with horror. She gritted her teeth and tio apply force, but it only accelerated the disiion of the mech's arm. Li Aozi's punch peed the armor, skeletal structure, power duits, and radiators, all the , smashing into the mech's shoulder joint. Then, reag out, he grabbed and unched himself like a onball, crashing directly onto the armor.

  Boom!

  "Ugh!"

  The violent impact sent Yin Shuya crashing headfirst into the panoramic dispy s in front of her. The 's temperature soared rapidly; even the safety belt ignited due to the high heat. She had no time to curse Hōjō Heavy Industries' fshy but impractical teology; a more serious problem was at hand.

  —Because she was doing the work of aire crew aloasks that should have had someone assisting her in diseg and leaving the pilot seat could only be carried out slowly by herself.

  Yin Shuya was not inexperienced in bat, but she clearly didn't uand why a mech that could be operated by one person had to be manned by four.

  The yout of war maes is an experience gaihrough the blood and tears of soldiers.

  "Damn it! Li Aozi, when I get out, I'll definitely kill you!"

  However, otlefield, even a single sed ge certain situations.

  Swoosh!

  A scorg light-fed bde pierced in from above, appearing directly before Yin Shuya. Before her pupils could even tract, this luminous bde vividly demonstrated what it meant to cut through iron like mud. The armor capable of withstanding 3000mm peioed and disied rapidly uhe scorg bde like butter.

  k!

  A cw hooked onto the edge of the red-hot crack, unleashing a force more terrifying than a hydraulic press. The Domination's armor-cd head, shrouded in stardust mist, appeared before Yin Shuya. At this moment, the ultra-high 【Charisma】 effectively transformed into a mesmerizing intimidation.

  "Die!"

  Yin Shuya immediately raised her self-defense submae gun and fired a burst straight at Li Aozi's face. The bullets collided with the helmet; the 5.7mm rounds easily tore apart the facial armor, revealing the Domination's true form—a hideous and ferocious flesh monster visage.

  At the same time, she quickly disected, pressed the eject button, and with two explosions, the hatch was blown open. As Li Aozi's body tilted back, Yin Shuya was immediately ejected. In mid-air, she quickly rotated and adjusted her posture, throwing a specially-made bomb at Li Aozi. The violent sonic waves swept over, pinning Li Aozi to the spot.
