On the other side of the battlefield, Ophelia and Sachi were fighting fiercely. Both attack-type fighters pushed their outputs to the limit. Army Breaking Slash was the technique Ophelia used to dominate, while Sachi countered with an Immovable Ming King Kill.

Clang, clang, clang, clang... Sparks danced in the void, a halo bloomed from the center of the light swords whenever they met, dazzling the eyes.

Eventually, physical strength was bested by skill, and the Holy Sword Finis gradually suppressed the Ghost.

Having not anticipated that a military academy student of such an age could actually execute an Army Breaking Slash, Sachi nearly drew blood with the pressure of his clenched teeth. In the next second, he shouted, "Go to hell!" Unexpectedly, the Ghost spun around in the void, displaying a high voltage whip that accurately lashed towards the Holy Sword Finis.

This was a weapon possessing the same attributes as the Destiny. It was deadly at the touch. Ophelia, shocked, flung the Finis Shield at her opponent.

Completely ignoring the Finis Shield, the Ghost tried to ensure the whip hit its target. Sizzle...

Suddenly, Sachi felt the mech's cockpit lose its balance. The Finis Shield cut through the Ghost like butter, severing half its arm along with the electromagnetic whip. Thankfully, no explosion occurred.

Don't be fooled by the appearance of the Finis Shield. Hidden beneath its gorgeous exterior is a high-frequency ion cutting weapon.

"Sword Dragon, Sachi is in danger. The two of you must retreat immediately."

"What—Sachi, hang in there." Hearing Branny's voice, Sword Dragon roared and quickly made a super frequency move to escape. The Soaring Sword Dragon moved instantaneously to a position close to Ophelia.

That... That was too fast. It happened so quickly, it was astonishing and unexpected. No wonder he was the Sword Dragon. Watched by the approaching mech, Ophelia forgot to retaliate. No, rather than not retaliating, it was more accurate to say that she couldn't find any flaw in the Soaring Sword Dragon's movements. Even escape seemed impossible. The pressure came from a soul-level domination.

"Ophelia! Get out of there!" Angelina's voice came through the communicator, a warning shout like a refreshing spring made Ophelia come to a realization. That's right! She couldn't deal with the Soaring Sword Dragon, but she could disrupt its rhythm. Every technique ultimately leads to the same goal. Now, she just needed to understand it herself. But without a technique, there would be nothing to counter. Remembering her battle with Feng Yi, her eyes suddenly cleared. "Whew, chaotic cross slash without rules."

She especially remembered this move causing hesitation for Feng Yi during their battle. Hum, hum... The Holy Sword Finis swung twice in the void, followed by a thrust aimed directly at the Soaring Sword Dragon...

When Sword Qi was launched it shocked the surroundings. Although it seemed like two swords, the two halos combined with the final strike to form a three-point straight line. The changes contained within this were unimaginable. Whether it was a chop, a cut, a pick or a stab, changes were unpredictable but they did not deviate from the origin.

Of course, Ophelia didn't understand all these details, but she knew that the techniques that could repel Feng Yi were definitely worth trying. Indeed, as predicted by Ophelia, even Sword Dragon hesitated slightly for once before making a small adjustment, quickly turning and accelerating. He fetched Sachi and quickly left the battlefield.

They've left huh, Ophelia sighed in relief! Her heart continued to race even as they withdrew. The fight with Sachi was thrilling, but the momentary confrontation with the Sword Dragon was even more terrifying. It was a perfect, despair-inducing pressure.

The Federal Space Fleet successfully seized control of the Bergheide Space Fortress an hour later. However, by then the space fortress had already been turned into ruins, with terrifyingly high internal radiation levels. Clearly, Branny had no plans to leave it to the Federation.

As for Sachi, his failure was somewhat within expectations. Using four people to contain Sword Dragon made their intentions very clear. They wanted to create a close combat situation between Ophelia and Sachi. To some extent, the Army Breaking Slash had a better temporary burst than the Immovable Ming King Kill. So Sachi's failure was not surprising.

But repairing the Ghost would cost a astronomical amount, this was entirely due to Sachi's carelessness. The high-level executives at Bergheide took this very seriously, but Branny suppressed them, telling Sachi to rest well. The real show was about to start. As for whether the five major fleets continue their supply lines or not, that did not matter. Soon, they suspected the Federation would fall into chaos.

While the frontlines were fiercely contested, the rear was also not peaceful. At this moment, a pitch-black warship quietly arrived at the southern hemisphere of the sky from a distant space. The two countries were busy fighting each other, not realizing the the ship until it entered their atmosphere.

Surprisingly, a giant mecha, far larger than ordinary ones, slowly flew out from the warship. It had a main cannon caliber of 580, incredibly sizeable. Its firepower was devastating, and it was also equipped with a 50mm secondary cannon. It had a massive structure that ensured both substantial firepower and defensive capabilities.

Soon, a dense group of conventional mobile fighters appeared below the black mecha. These formed a long dragon, kicking up clouds of smoke as they marched towards the nearest city.

I've heard that our singer Athena has just released a new song. Kanmaier would like to listen to it. He had heard about this popular idol, and if conditions allowed, he would like to have a more intimate exchange with Athena in bed. Whenever he thought of the idol being undressed, Kanmaier would make a strange laughter that sounded like a tractor.

The Black Devil Legion moved at a blazing speed, with an average skill level not inferior to any ace squadron. In no time, the squad passed through the uninhabited area of the southern hemisphere and arrived at the suburban city. Unfortunately, Athena's concert was already over, which made Kanmaier angry enough to go mad. The world was so unfair to him. He was simply a man who had the innocent desire to bring down an angel.

As for why the Federation forces were not pursuing him? There were two reasons. One: they were deterred by the Storm Wings. Two: The city where Kanmaier landed was the furthest from the army in the southern hemisphere. Legends said it was once a paradise saved by God, with no armies, no war, no weapons. Only freedom and romance.

But Kanmaier changed his plans. He wanted to plunge Val Temple into complete despair. He was such a fickle person. At this moment, Kanmaier was in a trial sale process: "Camera operators prepare, technical staff on standby, hijack the local live news channel."

In the squares, in the parks and supermarkets, the screen showing Athena's concert suddenly went black, quickly replaced by another cold image. The man on the screen wore a black mask, his voice raspy but full of humility, "Hello, my dear Sky City residents. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with my voice, but you must have heard of the Black Devil Legion. Hehehehehe.."

Kanmaier laughed coldly. Controlling the rise and fall of a nation may be related to military power, but not entirely. He wanted to spread an atmosphere of panic in the city and completely paralyze the situation in Sky City. The foreplay must be played. As a gentleman, this was Kanmaier's consistent ritual.
