Kroos's Void Hunter wreaks havoc on Starshine Fortress, disabling its defenses with an EMP-like wave. He then breaches the fortress's hull and carves a path through its interior, eventually emerging into Starshine City.
Kroos paid no mind to the incoming assaults, allowing the energy beams to strike the Void Hunter’s chassis without causing any damage.
"What kind of Mecha is this?"
"Why are our attacks completely useless?"
....
The uniformed personnel were gripped by intense fear.
A slight smirk graced Kroos’s lips as he piloted the Void Hunter, morphing it into a terrifying streak of light and hurtling forward.
"You won't get through this easily!"
The Shadow Slayer, accompanied by its subordinates, desperately surged forward to intercept.
*Crack!*
In a swift moment, the entirety of the Shadow Slayer, along with the Mechas trailing behind it, was cleaved directly in two.
*Rumble!*
This was followed by a cascade of chain reactions and explosions.
The Void Hunter forcefully breached the blockade and plunged into the expansive passage situated at the city's perimeter.
Within the confines of the central command center.
Colonel Zhou Quan, observing the live feeds from the emergency surveillance equipment, relayed the grim news to Jone with urgency.
"No, Lord Jone, we are utterly incapable of stopping him!"
"Damn it! Wait, the trajectory this individual is taking is not towards the central command room? Precisely where is he infiltrating?"
Jone suddenly grasped the gravity of the situation.
"It appears he's heading for the Military Tomb."
Colonel Zhou Quan took a quick look and confirmed the report.
"The Military Tomb?"
Jone reacted with startled disbelief, quickly followed by an expression of profound dread.
Meanwhile, Kroos expertly navigated the broad passageway with his Void Hunter at breakneck speed.
Before long, he reached a formidable, thick metal door.
Kroos maneuvered the Void Hunter, raising its handheld Flowing Fire weapon, and with a powerful strike, shattered the door, granting access to the colossal Military Tomb.
He surveyed the vastness of the Military Tomb, his brows furrowing slightly as he inquired.
"Are you absolutely certain this is the location?"
"Do you see the wall furthest inside?"
Pamie's voice resonated, deep and commanding, as she directed Kroos.
"I do see it."
"Breach it immediately!"
"Understood!"
Kroos directed the Void Hunter to charge its power, then swung the Flowing Fire with immense force, unleashing two consecutive slashes.
*Crack!*
Instantly, the metallic barrier, along with the stone wall concealed behind it, was pulverized.
A gaping entrance to a massive passageway was revealed.
Kroos gazed upon the opening, a subtle glint in his eyes as he questioned.
"Pamie, how are you so intimately familiar with this place? To pinpoint such a hidden location is astonishing."
"Have you forgotten my identity? Such minor secrets are insignificant before me."
Pamie responded, her voice a low growl.
"I understand now,"
Kroos replied with a smile.
He distinctly sensed something was amiss; while Pamie's intelligence and infiltration skills were remarkable, this level of familiarity with Starshine Fortress seemed beyond expectation.
"Let's not squander any more time, proceed inside swiftly."
Pamie urged Kroos onward.
"No problem."
Kroos immediately instructed the Void Hunter to accelerate and plunge into the newly opened passage.
Soon, they exited the tunnel, emerging into the interior.
Upon scanning the surroundings, the entire internal area was found to be devoid of life, containing only remnants of abandoned facilities.
Witnessing this emptiness, Pamie's heart clenched, and she stated grimly.
"We are still one step too late!"
"What course of action do we take now?"
Kroos inquired, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
"We must withdraw!"
Kroos agreed without a moment's hesitation.
Their presence had been detected, making further complications highly probable; the Void Eye Fortress, despite its might, was primarily effective against mechanical threats, possessing limited capabilities against conventional forces.
"Very well!"
Kroos piloted the Void Hunter to execute their retreat.
Shortly thereafter, he burst forth from the passage, ascending back into the airspace above the city.
Scanning the skies encompassing the entire metropolis, a multitude of Mechas of diverse models had converged, with Federation soldiers already arrayed in waiting.
"My, my, what a grand reception. A pity I haven't the time to entertain you all. Farewell!"
Kroos concentrated his power and unleashed a blast directly upwards.
*Boom!*
An earth-shattering explosion echoed.
The Void Hunter transformed into a spectral gleam, piercing directly through the zenith of Starshine Fortress.
At this juncture, Ferion and his comrades frantically observed Kroos's escape, urgently attempting to reactivate their Mechas.
"Quickly now, bring them online!"
Regrettably, their Mechas remained unresponsive, continuously flagging errors.
Kroos paid them no heed, piloting his Mecha directly towards Void Eye to make his departure!
Ferion watched the adversary ascend and escape, gritting his teeth and roaring.
"You scoundrel!"
...
------------------------------------
Black Flame Star Defense Line.
The soldiers from Sky Dome City were engaged in a desperate struggle against the forces of the Dark Star Empire.
At this critical moment, the sky was saturated with the streaks of energy beams and the trajectories of missiles!
*Rumble!*
Mecha after Mecha was annihilated and sent spiraling into wreckage.
"Ah!"
Screams continuously pierced the communication channels.
Despite the valiant efforts of the Sky Dome City soldiers, the Dark Star Empire's forces proved overwhelming, and the defensive armaments had been effectively neutralized.
At this precise moment, the Dark Star Emperor, piloting the Lord of Death, transformed into a black bolt of light, slicing through a Level 5 Battleship and exiting from its opposite side.
The entirety of the Level 5 Battleship erupted in a cataclysmic explosion.
A colossal shockwave radiated outwards.
"Bastard!"
As the pilot of the V Generation Mecha·Sin Fang, Legion Commander Parakeent of the Sixth Legion charged directly towards the Dark Star Emperor.
The Dark Star Emperor's blood-red eyes abruptly fixed on Legion Commander Parakeent, a bloodthirsty grin spreading across his face.
"Come on!"
The Lord of Death's entire form pulsed with intricate patterns as he launched a direct assault on Parakeent.
Before Parakeent could even react, the Dark Star Emperor, wielding the Lord of Death, had already closed the distance. His heart seized with alarm, and he hastily raised the Tusk Metal Shield he held to block the attack!
The Dark Star Emperor then brought the Withered Blade down with immense force.
Crack!
The Tusk Metal Shield was instantaneously cleaved in two.
"How can this be?"
Parakeent's face contorted in shock; the Tusk Metal Shield had failed to hold.
"Die!"
With that, the Dark Star Emperor raised the Withered Blade in his left hand, preparing to strike Parakeent.
In that critical moment, Parakeent sharply maneuvered the Mecha, narrowly dodging the blow.
Crack!
The V Generation Mecha·Sin Fang's left arm was severed clean off.
