While Ilyas battles Oshim, Mia tricks Elder Remwaco into a trap, seemingly defeating him. However, Remwaco reveals his true, gigantic form, shocking everyone and forcing Oshim to reconsider his engagement with Ilyas.

A fierce confrontation ensued amidst the star-laden expanse. Remwaco, revealing its true, colossal form, zeroed in on the Dark Angel. Its monstrous maw opened wide, gathering a formidable Kais Light Pillar poised to unleash devastation.

Mia's eyes widened, and she swiftly maneuvered the Dark Angel to evade the impending blast. The searing red beam sliced through space, obliterating everything in its path – mechs, starships, and even drifting meteorites dissolved into nothingness.

Witnessing this spectacle, Mia's heart lurched. However, at that precise moment, voices echoed through the public communication channel. "Mia, we're here to support you!"

Mia turned to see Aifulin, Limi, and their allies piloting their mechs, charging into the fray. Simultaneously, a barrage of external defense weaponry locked onto Remwaco. Beams of energy rained down upon the creature, stripping away chunks of its organic tissue.

"You dare seek death!" Remwaco roared, unfurling its enormous Crystal Wings, adorned with countless crystals that pulsed with brilliant light. A torrent of light streams lashed out at the approaching allies. The allied mechs were torn asunder, one by one.

"Damn it!" Mia exclaimed, then piloted the Dark Angel, initiating a direct charge towards Remwaco.

...In Defense Zone 4, General Angulat, piloting the Divine Warrior like a phantom, appeared above Mikel. A swift blade strike descended. Mikel raised its claws, intercepting the blow! A sharp crack echoed as their weapons met.

Just then, Xinlad, piloting the Black Dragon’s Tooth, closed the distance and plunged his blade deep into Mikel's form. Enraged, Mikel hurled Angulat aside with a surge of power, then lunged at Xinlad with razor-sharp claws. But Xinlad, having landed his strike, immediately retreated to safety.

Mikel, its attack missing, turned its attention to Xinlad. Suddenly, a swarm of Water Jelly Drones surged from behind Xinlad, colliding with Mikel and detonating in a chain reaction. As Mikel emerged from the chaos, battered and disoriented, ships and defense platforms unleashed a relentless barrage of fire. A sea of attacks engulfed Mikel, burying it in explosions once more.

However, in the very next second, a furious arc of lightning flickered from the epicenter of the blast. Angulat and the others watched, their brows furrowed. Then, a colossal figure erupted from the dissipating smoke. Mikel's body grotesquely expanded, transforming into a monstrous behemoth, over a hundred kilometers tall, with tumor-ridden bat wings and a demonic visage radiating terrifying power.

"You shall all perish!" Mikel bellowed, enraged, unleashing indiscriminate waves of destructive energy. Angulat and his companions' faces contorted in fear as they scrambled to evade. Crystal Origin Fortresses and starships were struck, erupting in fiery explosions!

...In Defense Zone 2, Hayes, at the controls of the White Swan, continuously slashed around Adimo. The White Swan's blade left several deep wounds on Adimo's form. "Bastard!" Infuriated, Adimo unleashed a torrent of tentacles towards Hayes, but at that moment, beams of light lanced in from a distance. Adimo's newly formed appendages were obliterated once more.

"Argh!" Adimo's rage reached its zenith, completely losing all control. Its Kais biological reaction surged, spewing forth a suffocating black mist. Within the swirling darkness, lightning flashed and thunder roared. A terrifying, colossal shadow began to materialize.

Adimo's body swelled to the size of a planet, its lower half a bulbous mass, while its seaweed-like head sprouted twelve sinister, fleshy tentacle pythons that emanated an awe-inspiring power. "Die, all of you!" Adimo commanded the twelve serpentine appendages, their mouths opening wide to gather violent Kais energy.

Hayes's face paled dramatically as he shouted, "Dodge quickly!" Adimo unleashed twelve devastating black light pillars. Every mech and starship caught in their path was instantly vaporized, exploding into nothingness. Subsequently, the light pillars slammed into the defense line. Suns resembling supernova explosions bloomed, consuming all surrounding defensive weaponry. Terrifying shockwaves radiated outwards, causing the Star Destroyer·Deep Blue to shudder violently.

Inside the central control room, Army Commander Qi Luo gripped the armrest tightly, struggling to maintain his balance. Once the initial shock subsided, Yun Qian reported with urgency, "Commander Qi Luo, the defense line has been breached!"

"What a monster! Order all available backup defense weapons to the front, and have all ships focus fire on it!" Qi Luo commanded immediately. "Yes!" Yun Qian responded promptly.

In the vastness of space, the main cannon of the Star Destroyer·Deep Blue ignited, and ports 1 to 100W opened. Nearby ships and remaining weapons also charged their systems. A blindingly bright pillar of light, accompanied by countless missiles, impacted Adimo. Adimo's gargantuan form was torn open by a massive wound, and a pained wail echoed through the void.

"Quick, concentrate your firepower!"

Witnessing this, Hayes commanded his mecha, spearheading a charge by countless soldiers, relentlessly firing at Adimo.

Adimo then let out a peculiar shriek.

Swarms of Chilami emerged from behind, latching directly onto Adimo's colossal form, absorbed into it as sustenance.

Before long, Adimo's previously injured body underwent rapid regeneration.

"This is not good, Lord Hayes! That creature is mending itself,"

His subordinates reported with apprehension to Hayes.

"Unleash everything you have!"

Hayes bellowed at his assembled forces.

"Understood!"

A unified roar erupted from the numerous soldiers.

At that moment, Adimo, enduring the barrage of attacks from all sides, directed the twelve dark pythons to gather energy, unleashing sweeping beams of devastating power.
