Admiral Roches receives devastating casualty reports amid escalating space battle fury, as the Legendary Star Destroyer Wind Dome exchanges devastating main cannon fire with the Wailing Spirit, shattering barriers and inflicting heavy damage, though the enemy vessel rapidly self-repairs. Caught in a pincer attack by the Evil Fang, the battered Level 5 Battleship Breeze sacrifices itself to block incoming assaults, yet the Wind Dome suffers massive explosions and hull breaches, forcing emergency isolations. Meanwhile, Mo Xiu pilots the Thunder Angel to fiercely clear waves of enemy mechas, enduring taunts from Geteri in the Demon Hunter who coordinates distant strikes, culminating in a brutal clash with a Blood Falcon that strains his mental limits.

Geteri swiftly detected the irregularity in Mo Xiu and let out a mocking sneer through the communication channel, calling out to Aus, Igoloto, and the rest.

"This fellow can't hold on anymore, follow me!"

"Got it!"

Aus and his companions responded with fierce determination.

They ceased their concealment from the rear at once, dispersing to advance from multiple angles while unleashing beams toward Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu promptly directed Thunder Angel to evade, yet his response lagged just a bit.

In that instant, the Mecha suffered a direct hit from a beam.

Boom~

Suddenly, the whole Thunder Angel came to a grinding halt.

Agolotto piloted the Black Soul Mecha to release its maximum potential, pushing the synchronization rate to surge wildly up to 150%, with the entire machine flashing intense black arcs as it morphed into a streak of light hurtling toward Thunder Angel.

"Death Strike!"

"Scram!"

Mo Xiu panted heavily while glancing up at Agolotto, then channeled all his strength into a mighty swing of the Thunder Pattern Blade gripped in his hand!

Their weapons smashed against each other.

A massive shockwave erupted outward, sending the Black Soul Mecha hurtling backward right away.

Right then, Geteri maneuvered Demon Hunter to charge at full speed from the rear, lifting a dark blade to cleave down at Thunder Angel.

"Perish for me!"

Mo Xiu guided Thunder Angel into an extreme twist, hoisting the Thunder Pattern Blade to parry the blow!

Crack!

Thunder Angel successfully fended off Demon Hunter's assault and shoved it aside with force.

Just then, a wicked grin crept across Geteri's lips, and he promptly unveiled the missile compartment, launching an anti-matter missile before executing a Light Speed Fold Flash to vanish.

"Damn it!"

Mo Xiu's face twisted in alarm, but the moment had already passed!

Boom~

A black arc resembling a blazing sun erupted, swallowing the entirety of Thunder Angel whole, causing the whole region to crumble.

Geteri controlled Demon Hunter to reappear far off, observing the spectacle with a shrill burst of laughter.

"Haha!"

"Excellent work!"

Aus and Agolotto echoed in agreement.

By now, the blast began to fade, and Thunder Angel disengaged from Thunder Energy Mode, emerging utterly scorched and blackened.

"Time to finish off this brat for good."

Geteri remarked to Aus and the group.

"Then we'll promote him to the next level!"

Agolotto, brimming with lethal intent, commanded the Pseudo-VI Generation Biological Mecha·Black Soul to erupt with power once more and dashed toward Thunder Angel ahead of the pack.

Though the team had all worked to trap Mo Xiu, the pilot delivering the final blow would reap the biggest rewards.

As Agolotto surged ahead, Geteri and Aus swiftly trailed behind with their horde of shadowy Mechas.

Within the cockpit of Thunder Angel.

Mo Xiu slumped forward, crimson trails leaking from his temple and the edges of his mouth, drawing in a profound breath before abruptly lifting his head, his features set in unyielding determination.

Across the virtual display before his eyes, streams of digital alerts flickered into view.

"Genetic Device Startup·Awaiting Activation!"

"Please activate!"

...

All of a sudden, the left armrest on Thunder Angel's pilot chair split apart, revealing a small circular gadget equipped with a piercing needle.

Mo Xiu peeled away the symbiotic armor from his left hand without hesitation, pressing his thumb firmly against the needle, allowing a droplet of scarlet blood to drip into the genetic device.

A series of alerts flashed up.

"Genetic identification successful!"

"Genetic device activation successful."

...

Zzztzzt~

The VI-type Mecha·Thunder Angel now displayed intricate red circuits across its frame, ultimately gathering at the chest, as the whole Mecha crackled with fierce red lightning.

In a flash, Thunder Angel appeared to turn fully elemental, with the halo above it materializing anew to radiate crimson glows, warping the space all around.

"No way, that's the Genetic Lock!"

Geteri and his two allies witnessed this abrupt transformation and paled with utter dread, halting their assaults abruptly and spinning about to flee.

They never imagined Mo Xiu possessed the ability to release the Genetic Lock; in their minds, only Farren held that capability. Naturally, this wasn't their error, since such details remained classified secrets beyond their full grasp.

"Trying to escape? Thunder Purgatory!"

Mo Xiu rapidly commanded Thunder Angel to burst forth with energy, unfurling a curtain of red thunder.

Immediately, Agolotto, Aus, Geteri, and the swarm of encircling Mechas found themselves enveloped.

Zzztzzt!

The Mechas of Agolotto, Aus, and Geteri froze up in paralysis and dysfunction on the spot, as the remaining machines detonated like bursting fireworks.

Next, Mo Xiu piloted Thunder Angel straight at Agolotto and the pair.

Geteri and his comrades recoiled in horror, sensing an overwhelming peril.

In that instant, Agolotto's features contorted as he bellowed toward Hedicate.

"Hedicate, give me your strength!"

"Affirmative!"

Hedicate then poured out his power with desperate fervor.

Suddenly Black Soul threw its head back in a horrifying howl, its Kais biological response exploding upward, with organic tissues bulging across its form while sparking with savage arcs, shattering the restraint at last and converting into a dreadful black beam that lunged at Thunder Angel, brandishing the Meat Tumor Long Spear for a stab.

"Death Strike!"

"Thunder Judgment!"

Mo Xiu's gaze intensified, as he hurled the Thunder Pattern Blade alive with menacing arcs.

Crack!

The pair collided fiercely, unleashing a wave of ruinous force.

Right away, Black Soul Mecha yielded and recoiled, outmatched not only in power but also racked with raging lightning that charred its outer biological layers completely.

Agolotto clenched his jaw to endure, his visage twisted in torment.

Suddenly, Mo Xiu surged with might, the Thunder Pattern Blade shearing through the Meat Tumor Long Spear, followed by a left-handed sweep of the blade toward Agolotto.

"No!"

Agolotto's eyes widened in shock, unleashing a roar of defiance.

Crack!

The Pseudo-VI Generation Biological Mecha·Black Soul, from crown to base, split cleanly in two.

Boom~

Without delay, the entire machine detonated akin to a bursting growth, spraying gore in all directions!
