Shortly after, the two armies quickly reached each other's effective firing range, and with a flash of light in the void, the dim cosmos exploded into brilliance in an instant. The dazzling flashes, like a meteor shower from the 12 zodiac signs, scattered down momentarily, adding a touch of epic splendor to the deep space of the universe.

As dot after dot of light silently blossomed and then just as quickly extinguished in the depths of space, they sang the most brilliant song of life, only to fade into dust. What they outlined was the clarity in Feng Yi's eyes that flickered on and off.

The imperial fighters could not deal a fatal blow to the fleet in a short time. It was the V582 coordinate pivot point that they aimed to destroy. Accompanied by a salvo, the dense rain of light scattered was instantly blocked by the 9th Generation Mecha—indeed, the 9th Generation not only possessed unparalleled speed, its external armor was a fundamental advantage that space fighters did not have. Of course, the 9th Generation could not match the fighters in the pursuit of extreme speed, but they wouldn't be destroyed in a second either.

Yet, Feng Yi never anticipated that the empire's salvo could destroy dozens of 9th Generation mechas. The defense of the 9th Generation should have been able to withstand several attacks. Gradually, a distinct model of fighter entered Feng Yi's vision, attracting his attention—the X7 Overriding. Typically, space fighters carried rather simple weaponry, but this mecha could control seven weapons to attack simultaneously.

Its attack speed and frequency far surpassed other mechas, and what was terrifying was that its accuracy and firing rate were even higher than Apophis'. Even Apophis became one of its targets; this person was purposeful!

In the blink of an eye, dozens more of our 9th Generation mechas were turned to cosmic dust under its continuous X7 Overriding... Damn it! Such a firing frequency was certain to become a slaughter machine on the battlefield; it could not be ignored.

Feng Yi clenched his fists tightly; he could no longer care about the consequences. Without any hesitation, he took out the Space Crystal and quickly rushed into the launch tunnel to jump into the mecha. In the instant of ejection, the black mecha (Revenge Shadow Rider) had already transformed into the shape of a black fighter.

Hsssssss... From Feng Yi's perspective, as he scanned the deep space, the continuously shuttling warships resembled a space city aggregated from twinkling stars, dazzling and blinding... Yet, he had no intention to linger. Boom, boom, boom, boom... The trembling frame seemed to roar with the anger of its master.

At this moment, Saudi's military might was at its zenith, with their super ace pilots wiping out dozens of Assembly 9th Generation with every sweep, accelerating the already feverish pace of their attack. The imperial soldiers seemed to see victory within reach.

Even Apophis was feeling an unprecedented pressure. Despite the 9th Generation's defensive capabilities, he truly felt completely suppressed. Every time that white fighter fired, he had to raise his shield to block, as the mecha's simple defensive barrier seemed to be insufficient against such frequent, continuous destruction.

In a daze, a black fighter appeared out of nowhere; it was a storm and lightning shuttling through the starry sky. With the counter-engines propelling it, the space around the fighter seemed to constantly roar with rolling thunder. Accompanied by a tumbling motion, the black fighter suddenly made a Z-shaped lateral move. At the same time, the visually spectacular X11 Overriding became clear before one's eyes.

The white fighter, still in the midst of pressing its attack, was completely taken by surprise and barely avoided a collision with another Saudi fighter in its hasty evasion.

Revenge Shadow Rider! Only the Revenge Shadow Rider could bring an opponent to such a state with a single blow. Moreover, it was the Revenge Shadow Rider's own black frame. Apophis' dynamic tracking ability was far superior to the ordinary, and he recognized this familiar yet somewhat strange black frame in an instant.

In a flash, his blood boiled over, and it was as if some voice inside him roared out loud! It was the Legion Commander; the rumor had not been wrong after all. The Legion Commander was the Revenge Shadow Rider.

The appearance of the black fighter completely caught Kexiao off guard. Yes, he had considered the possibility that the Revenge Shadow Rider might show up—after all, Feng Yi was on this ship—but he hadn't expected the mysterious Revenge Shadow Rider to be so decisive, decisive enough not to care about revealing his identity. Ha, truly someone worthy of his recognition—come on then, Revenge Shadow Rider, let's see just how far you've come!

The white fighter made a feint in the void, heading straight towards Feng Yi's direction, but it didn't directly pursue the battlefield. Instead, just as it was about to reach the black Mecha, it made another sharp maneuver, appropriately firing a shot, as if challenging anyone bold enough to follow.

As if I'm afraid of you, Feng Yi thought, his gaze quite unsettling as he controlled his fighter to accelerate. He didn't follow the trajectory of the other but plunged headfirst into the asteroid belt, offering an even more deadly challenge to Kexiao.

Kexiao hesitated slightly, thinking this man was insane, but he liked it. To some extent, he was crazy himself. Myths are meant to be ended, sooner or later. If this could expedite opening up the battle and ending the campaign, he didn't mind using this method to finish off his opponent.

Shiiiiing...

In the space void, the black and white fighters intertwined and constantly shuttled through, swiftly entering the asteroid cluster. The dense meteorites couldn't hinder their rapid movements at all. Through the feedback from the random navigation system, they could determine the most correct path in the shortest time, then control the fighters to make turning maneuvers, all in the blink of an eye.

Kexiao's piloting was flawless, perfect in timing, evasion windows, and distance control, reaching a precision in micro-managing that even ace pilots couldn't match. On this foundation, whether faster or slower, no one could reach the optimal distance, but he did. This was the real Kexiao showing his strength, clearly not merely a master of tactical command.

If Kexiao was perfect, Feng Yi seemed more like a stubborn kind of madness. He was like the aged youth who once piloted the strongest fighter through the stars, now back in the familiar cockpit, returning to an era represented only by the 1945 imagery. If Kexiao preferred perfection, then he was absolutely at the other extreme, a near-obsessive play with death, pressing to accomplish the most efficient extreme operations in the shortest time.

People couldn't see the end of the meteorite cluster's depths, with only two flashes of lightning appearing and disappearing. As they burst out of the Stone Sea for a moment, both instantly locked their weapons on each other, unleashing a strike at the edge of a knife.

This was a battle for survival with no shortcuts, where both pilots focused their spirits to the extreme as they raced neck and neck. Confronted by the Revenge Shadow Rider's terrifying X11 Overriding instantaneously, the white fighter repeatedly found itself in dead ends, escaping death time and again at the last moment.

And when the white fighter maneuvered to counterattack the Revenge Shadow Rider, the black fighter showcased its own extreme over-frequency moves, with the fighter trembling and tumbling through the void, often grazing by light spots by a hair's breadth, terrifyingly close.

In a head-to-head match-up with no room for retreat, for retreat would mean death, both forced each other into corners. As a wave of light exploded, the distant asteroid cluster once again fell silent. The armies did not know how their supreme leaders fared in the fight. As the spiraling fighters vanished from sight, everyone felt it—the sense of a life-and-death crisis for the two pilots.

An abandoned elliptical, strange structure suddenly traversed in front of both, about tens of thousands of kilometers wide in diameter. Its enormous size didn't seem like a masterpiece humans could achieve. As their killing intent peaked in the life-and-death struggle, neither hesitated to charge into it, weaving and spiraling inside this steel fortress, flipping and rolling in endless corridors. They relied only on the dim starlight and reflected light rain to gauge each other's distance, disappearing into the vast Abyss in an instant, leaving no trace behind, except for the rolling ionic waves...
