Sword Dragon is severely injured now, his physical strength is dwindling, and the damage to his Mecha is substantial. He is no longer a match for a formidable opponent like Revenge Shadow Rider.

But, he couldn't just leave like this. As a world-class ace, he had been caught off guard and suffered substantial losses. It was his mistake, one he needed to rectify! He had underestimated the Revenge Shadow Rider. With this thought, Sword Dragon decided to engage it in another round of battle. However, out of the blue, a message from Branny came in, "Mr. Sword Dragon, please return to base immediately."

Return…? Sword Dragon mulled over the word, his voice colder than ice, "My fight with it isn't over yet."

Branny hesitated to respond. She knew exactly what Sword Dragon was thinking. He was unwilling to admit defeat - a common trait among top pilots. But given his current condition, he was not likely to win against the Revenge Shadow Rider. Although, in name, Sword Dragon was under her command, in reality, as the ace pilot of Bergheide, his standing, prestige, and value far exceeded hers. If anything happened to him, she wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

However, the world-renowned ace pilot was inexplicably beaten by a player who had emerged from a virtual world. No one knew the specifics of this incident, but it would leave a scar on Sword Dragon's heart. After some thought, Branny said, "Mr. Sword Dragon, I will arrange a rematch between you and Revenge Shadow Rider in the near future. What do you say?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I can assure you, Mr. Sword Dragon."

"Alright then, it's inevitable that we'll have to confront each other." Sword Dragon struggled to press the red button to activate the teleportation system. His silver Mecha spared one last look in the direction of the Shadow Rider... and disappeared.

The scene displayed on the Light Screen made many spectators in the FCA laugh out loud... What a fool, using teleportation, which was so expensive that even small businesses could not afford it. They wondered what his agenda was.

Many people were unaware of how thrilling the brief encounter between Sword Dragon and Revenge Shadow Rider had been, nor could they associate the silver Mecha with the Soaring Sword Dragon.

Of course, the residents of the Federal Mainland were equally bewildered, but they were definitely not laughing. What concerned them more was the Revenge Shadow Rider itself. At that moment, big cities all over the Federation were buzzing... The Revenge Shadow Rider was fighting for its compatriots who had died in the smoke and fire of war. The public was moved to tears and speechless.

Whizz... whizz... whizz...

The gunfire in Dawn City erupted into a thunderous tumult, and explosions were happening everywhere. The Devil's troops were not deterred by the formidable Revenge Shadow Rider. Instead, their desperate nature was stimulated, and they launched a more aggressive rapid fire on Revenge Shadow Rider.

"Ahhhh..." Amid the roar and howl, it was impossible to distinguish between friend and foe on the battlefield... As time passed, the Federation's airborne battlefield was getting closer and closer. They didn't believe that thousands of Mechas couldn't deal with Revenge Shadow Rider. With such a lineup, even a top-tier pilot would be powerless.

The continuous explosions had caused severe shaking inside the biomimetic Mecha. Feng Yi was already drenched in sweat. His heavy arms felt as if they were filled with lead, and his hands felt as if they were about to become useless.

However, he never considered giving up, nor would he give up - giving up meant death, betrayal, and corruption. When a person loses their inhibitions, they will become invincible; at least at this very moment, he will carry on the mission of his comrades and continue to fight for those who he had been unable to save!

"Ha…"

The Revenge Shadow Rider charged all the way, moving with variable acceleration. As it rushed past the ground, it manipulated its dragon-head cannon to aim and fire continuously. The Mecha moved through the Devil army as if it were an uninhabited territory. It could avoid the incoming fire with ultra-high frequency, and it launched lethal counterattacks. It turned into a flaming meteor, killing its way from the war-torn city outskirts to the West District, and then from the West District to the Southern area. During its relentless attacks, buildings collapsed on its way. It breached the skyscrapers one after another. Underneath its external armor, its black Mecha body had turned gray, the color of blood-soaked pride.

"Feng Yi…."

Athena muttered word by word, her eyes brimming with tears. Despite her loathing for war, the sight of people dying amidst the smoke and gunfire always left her heartbroken. She couldn't express what it felt like, but she found herself captivated by the image of the roaring black Mecha. Athena realized where her long-lost inspiration and creativity came from - it was the passion, the fate, the soul, and the pure essence of a warrior.

The fascination with the Revenge Shadow Rider had nothing to do with its undefeated record in net battles or any other trivial matters; it was simply about the Revenge Shadow Rider itself, who desired nothing but the thrill of each battle.

Sitting in front of the piano, Athena closed her exquisite eyes and the room was gradually filled with the sound of a melancholic melody…

When the melody was somber, it was as if she were sinking into an endless, unreachable, dark abyss... as the melody escalated, a resonating victory song suddenly reverberated throughout the room...

The song seemed like a raging, burning flame, like Feng Yi's raging Mecha galloping tirelessly through an endless desert, persistently and bravely, despite its silence, overflowing with warmth and fighting spirit. An intense symphony immediately brought all the soldiers near the Freedom Dancer to a standstill.

For a moment, everyone was spellbound… for a moment, as they carefully savored the escalating melody, every cell in their bodies was filled with exhilaration!

Gradually drawn to you,

I left no trace behind, just the color of gray emotions

The land soaked in blood is too hazy, everything in this city is but an illusion

Seeking truth, desiring progress, it's the courageous you

Your boiling blood makes it impossible to approach

Feel your struggles, hear your shouts, empathize with your feelings, taste your trembling, constantly trembling myself

Blazing away, surpassing time, surpassing everything,

Even the wind has begun to fill with zeal

Burning your soul, just waiting,

To feel the wind, please don't forget, burn your dreams, continue the endless journey,

Won't look back at love and the past,

Go ahead, you are a shining star,

Burn your soul, live in the present,

I proudly say, the passion and strength you possess, you are the one inside the legend undefeated,

Yes, no outsiders are involved,

The roaring Revenge Shadow Rider never stops, nor does it intend to stop,

Belief is growing within, anger in confinement,

Even if the sorrow of sacrifice is weeping,

Simplistic gestures are all pretentious,

If it flees, everywhere will be a safety zone,

What is gained, what is forgotten,

Even if the world is destroyed, the unchanging you is my only desire,

The uncomfortable shouts, no one can stop them, the passionate roar even transcends time and space,

Waiting for your touch, burning your soul even to the point of stopping the heartbeat, I can feel it, deeply feel it,
