Jilei assaulted the gate to the Tower of Mist but retreated from a fierce counterattack, opting instead to sabotage auxiliary supply lines that weakened Lost Star's energy barrier. Mi Wei and Timi launched main cannon strikes, shattering the barrier amid jubilant cheers from the Lost Path Army. Ilyas was awakened and deployed toward Lost Star, piercing its defenses, while in the arena, Fager clashed with Otaine and reinforcements, destroying mechs before an explosion engulfed his Demon Hunter.

Fager cast a sidelong glance at Gufu, gripping his blade and hurling it with savage force.

Gufu got startled too, before he had a chance to respond.

Crack!

The dark metal blade slammed straight into the Radiant Messenger's abdomen.

Right away, Fager maneuvered the Demon Hunter to rush in close, seized the Radiant Messenger's head with his left hand, and slammed it hard into the ground.

Bang!

Half the Mecha's frame sank deep into the earth.

In that instant, Fager yanked out the black blade and delivered a brutal kick to the Radiant Messenger's chest.

Bam!

The whole Radiant Messenger burst apart in a thunderous blast.

Having dealt with Gufu, Fager whipped his head around and barreled toward Otaine.

Just then, one of Otaine's underlings charged forward without fear.

“Don’t even think about it!”

“Courting death!”

Fager swung his weapon like he was slicing veggies, cleaving every blocking Mecha in two.

Alfaku, Novlin, and the rest swiftly piloted their Mechas, charged up energy, and unleashed beams at Fager in a bid to halt him.

But it proved pointless. Fager deftly piloted the Mecha to evade and slip aside.

Right then, Deputy Corps Commander Hayak piloted a Fake V Generation Mecha·Deep Blue Hunter, materializing beside Fager and slashing the Plasma Light Blade at the Demon Hunter's frame.

Sizzle!

Beam particles scattered everywhere.

Deputy Corps Commander Hayak's face twisted slightly; the blow had merely carved a shallow gash, failing to pierce the armor.

At once, Fager snapped his head viciously toward Hayak.

Hayak sensed the peril instinctively and triggered a Light Speed Fold Flash to flee.

“Trying to run, too late!”

Fager whipped the blade horizontally through the air.

Crack!

The Radiant Messenger materialized in a flash, its Energy Barrier shattered, and the Mecha plummeted heavily to the ground amid crackling lightning arcs.

Now, Fager opened the Mecha's mouth, charging a beam aimed straight at Hayak.

“Dodge quickly!”

Alfaku and the others cried out in panic.

Regrettably, the Radiant Messenger was completely immobile and got struck by the beam instantly.

Bang!

A colossal explosion raged outward.

“Hayak!”

Alfaku and the rest roared in furious grief.

Fager paid them no heed and stormed straight at the ascending Otaine, swinging his weapon fiercely.

Otaine lifted his sole remaining weapon to parry!

Crack!

In a flash, the entire Mecha was forced down onto its knees!

Right then, Jikol, piloting the Holy Light Blade, staggered to his feet desperately and dashed toward Otaine.

“Old O!”

“Go quickly, don’t mind me!”

Otaine gritted his teeth and bellowed at Jikol.

“So touching!”

Jikol smashed a fierce kick into the right flank of the Land of Lost’s body.

The whole Land of Lost hurtled toward Jikol like a projectile, smashing into it and crashing down hard.

Both Mechas sparked with electricity and froze still for a beat.

“Legion Commander!”

Novlin and the others drove their Mechas forward to shield Jikol and Otaine.

Fager guided the Demon Hunter to advance step by step, radiating overwhelming menace!

Novlin and his comrades each sensed a colossal danger, yet not one backed away.

On the observation platform.

Su Ming observed the arena battle with a composed face.

Suddenly, a horrifying black beam of light stabbed down from above the arena, crashing right before the observation platform.

Bang!

A tremendous shockwave erupted.

Fager and the others jolted in alarm, swiveling their heads to spot black lightning flashing amid the smoke.

In a blink.

Every scanning device across the venue blared shrill warnings.

“Warning: Detected ultra-high intensity Kais biological reaction!”

“What’s going on?”

Fergus and the rest stared in shock.

As the smoke dissipated, the VI Generation Biological Mecha·Ilyas emerged into view, its dread aura engulfing the field.

“VI Generation Biological Mecha!”

Fager's heart pounded wildly, his voice laced with disbelief.

At that moment, Ilyas gripped the gun in her left hand while extending her right.

Clap, clap!

A figure ascended behind her, applauding with both hands, and stepped onto Ilyas's palm.

“Splendid, truly splendid! I really underestimated the Dark Star Emperor, didn’t expect he had planned such a good show in advance.”

This time, if Su Ming personally came, the Land of Lost and the Holy Army would probably be finished.

“Admiral Su Ming!”

Fergus and the others cried out in horror.

Jikol, Otaine, and the rest stood stunned, speechless for the moment.

Novlin's face lit up with wild excitement too.

Just then, Vice City Lord Medot's expression turned grim, a flicker of cruelty in his gaze, as he abruptly commanded the V Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha·Bloodthirsty Messenger to fire a devastating beam at Su Ming without warning.

“Be careful, Su Ming!”

Novlin cried out in sheer panic.

Su Ming stayed utterly calm amid the abrupt assault, while Ilyas's eyes gleamed red, summoning an AT Barrier from nowhere.

Bang!

The beam detonated against the AT Barrier, merely sending faint ripples across it.

Right then, Ilyas lifted her head, charging up a Furious Kai Light Beam before unleashing it straight at the Bloodthirsty Messenger.

“No!”

Vice City Lord Medot's pupils contracted in terror as he bellowed.

Bang!

The Bloodthirsty Messenger was instantly run through, erupting in a colossal blast.

All those watching shivered in shock; had Vice City Lord Medot truly been slain so easily?

“Interesting.”

Su Ming lightly tapped his toes, drifting smoothly toward Ilyas's chest.

Ilyas proceeded to open the cockpit within her chest.

Su Ming gently lowered himself inside.

With the cockpit sealed and Su Ming's nerves linked, Ilyas's power surged dramatically in an instant, a horrifying force radiating outward.
