The brutal mecha battle raged on, with immense casualties on both sides. The Dark Star Emperor, Igoshim, unleashed his devastating mech, the Lord of Death, tearing through Sky Dome City's defenses. Admiral Achev and Lord Parakeent fell to the Emperor's might. As the Emperor continued his slaughter, Mo Xiu was held back by Sakari, but Master Helagar intervened, allowing Mo Xiu to break free and charge towards the Dark Star Emperor.

In this instant, Mo Xiu guided Thunder Angel into a swift approach, focusing a Thunder Energy Beam to strike the Dark Star Emperor.

The Dark Star Emperor cast a sideways glance with his crimson eyes, promptly maneuvering the Lord of Death to evade the incoming blast.

Subsequently, Mo Xiu, commanding Thunder Angel, became a specter of death itself, crackling with raw thunder, instantly closing the distance and unleashing the Thunder Pattern Blade upon the Dark Star Emperor.

The Dark Star Emperor, with a swift action, raised the Withered Blade in his grasp to intercept the strike.

Crack!

The clash of their weapons sent wild lightning arcs spiraling outward, their impact immense.

"Is that the extent of your power? Where is that coward Farren?"

The Dark Star Emperor taunted with a sneer.

"To fell you, my grandfather needs no intervention!"

Mo Xiu retorted with icy resolve.

"Haha, such arrogance!"

The Dark Star Emperor unleashed the full might of the Lord of Death, a surge of power that swept Thunder Angel aside with a single, decisive blow.

Mo Xiu skillfully righted the mech, his gaze fixed on the Emperor with a flicker of astonishment. Theoretically, Thunder Angel and the Wither Messenger should be evenly matched, yet he found himself at a disadvantage. He quickly centered his thoughts.

"Thunder Energy Mode, engage!"

Abruptly, the thunder patterns adorning Thunder Angel's frame ignited with brilliant luminescence. The entire mech pulsed with violent lightning, and a radiant halo materialized above its head.

Witnessing Mo Xiu's activation of the Characteristic Mode, the Dark Star Emperor did not hesitate, initiating Death Mode. Skeletal patterns flared across the Lord of Death's entire surface, spewing forth gray miasma. A somber, withered halo appeared overhead, imbuing the mech with the desolate aura of a Death God.

Now, Mo Xiu directed Thunder Angel in a high-speed, evasive maneuver, darting around the Dark Star Emperor like a bolt of lightning.

The Emperor responded by commanding the Blade of Death, swinging the Withered Blade through the empty air.

Crack!

Thunder Angel materialized instantly, then retreated backward.

The Emperor pressed his assault, driving the Lord of Death forward, the Withered Blade a blur as it slashed wildly at Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu relentlessly maneuvered Thunder Angel to parry each blow!

Amidst a cascade of flying lightning arcs and searing sparks, Thunder Angel was forced into a continuous, tactical retreat.

"Pathetically weak."

The Dark Star Emperor declared with disdain, questioning if this was the caliber of combatants left in Sky Dome City.

"Silence!"

Mo Xiu's pupils contracted; he commanded Thunder Angel to unleash a torrent of terrifying lightning from its entire body, vanishing in an instant.

The Dark Star Emperor's blade cleaved through empty space.

In that moment, Mo Xiu reappeared to his left, delivering a fierce horizontal slash with the Thunder Pattern Blade.

The Dark Star Emperor glanced sideways, raising the Withered Blade once more to block the incoming attack.

Mo Xiu, without missing a beat, commanded Thunder Angel to dissolve again, reappearing instantaneously behind the Dark Star Emperor.

Relying on his primal, battle-honed instincts, the Dark Star Emperor guided the Lord of Death to pivot and intercept the strike yet again!

Mo Xiu seized the opportunity, once more commanding Thunder Angel to fade from view and launch a relentless barrage of attacks.

Three times, four times...

As Mo Xiu vanished for the seventh time, the Emperor's crimson eyes flared intensely. He commanded the Blade of Death to surge with power, cleaving through the void.

"Instant Kill!"

Crack~

Thunder Angel was struck decisively, hurtling outward like a meteor before crashing into a Light Annihilation Heavenly Weapon, which subsequently detonated spectacularly.

The Emperor showed no pause, directing the Lord of Death, a figure of grim finality, towards the disabled Thunder Angel.

...

Su Ming observed the live feed, his brow furrowed in concentration.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Su Ming's wristband emitted a vibration, displaying an incoming message.

"Esteemed Admiral Su Ming, you are summoned immediately to the Moon Star Headquarters Conference Room for an emergency session!"

Su Ming glanced at the message, then deactivated his wristband. He quickly changed his attire and proceeded directly to the Moon Star Headquarters Conference Room.

...

Within the Central Control Room of the Legendary Star Destroyer Guang Xiao.

Fanluo God Emperor sat in the command chair, his mood somber. He supported his cheek with his left hand, his right tapping rhythmically on the armrest as he contemplated.

Yakes and the others stood nearby, scarcely daring to breathe.

An oppressive atmosphere permeated the central control room.

At this juncture, Vice Sect Hierarch Edrig approached Fanluo God Emperor, reporting with deep respect.

"Lord God Emperor, the Dark Star Emperor has initiated a full-scale assault on Black Flame Star."

"A full offensive so prematurely? When did the Dark Star Emperor become so rash?"

Fanluo God Emperor's brow furrowed slightly.

The full-scale assault was instigated by the enemy's successful raid on their home base and the death of Asya, which shattered the military's morale and compelled them into action.

"Here’s the situation: the defensive armaments on Black Flame Star suddenly experienced a catastrophic malfunction," Vice Sect Hierarch Edrig quickly elaborated.

"I comprehend. In that case, we shall present the Federation with a grand offering! Expedite all preparations below, ready the troops for battle!" Fanluo God Emperor flashed a triumphant, brilliant smile.

"Yes, my lord!" Vice Sect Hierarch Edrig promptly affirmed.

...

Within the hallowed halls of the Moon Star Defense Headquarters Conference Room.

Su Ming made a swift entrance, finding General Angulat and several other high-ranking officials already seated. He promptly took a seat in the foremost row.

Observing that nearly all attendees had arrived, Long Chen gracefully raised his hand, signaling the commencement of proceedings.

A colossal holographic projection shimmered to life above the conference platform, vividly displaying the current status of the Black Flame Star Defense Line.

"The circumstances are dire; I will provide a concise briefing. The primary reason for this urgent assembly is to deliberate on the crisis befalling the Black Flame Star Defense Line. I trust most of you have already been apprushed of the severity of the situation."

"Indeed, we have heard. This predicament is utterly preposterous – for the armaments of the Black Flame Star Defense Line to be rendered inoperable," General Angulat commented, his brow deeply furrowed in concern.

"I too find this development almost unbelievable, yet it has undeniably transpired. Furthermore, the root cause of this weapon malfunction remains undiscovered. It is highly probable that the Mechanical Clan is responsible, which leads me to harbor profound anxiety that the defensive weapons of our Moon Star Defense Line might similarly be compromised."
