Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 1038 - 713: Crushing Victory!

"Second match, contestant from the New Bauhinia Republic: Rose. Mecha: New Bauhinia 'Dawn's Edge' mass production model 'Gale'."

"Opponent: contestant 'Anvil' from 'God's Chosen of Machines', Mecha: 'Prototype VII 'City Breaker'."

"God's Chosen of Machines" is a team supported by the Foundry World Collective, one of the Seven Sons of the Empire, known for their mecha technology characterized by experimental design and powerful firepower, representing a typical tech-violent style.

"Anvil" himself is famous for his expertise in using a variety of exaggerated experimental weapons and his ability to temporarily adjust the mecha's status during combat based on his outstanding engineering knowledge.

His mecha "City Breaker" is massive, equipped with a multi-barreled rotary cannon, shoulder missile pods, and a large-caliber thermal main cannon. The firepower configuration can be described as luxurious, and the armor has undergone special reinforcement.

"Is that 'Anvil' from God's Chosen of Machines? That guy's mecha is like a mobile armory! And Rose... is she a female mech pilot? Piloting a mass-produced mecha? Isn't New Bauhinia getting a bit overconfident?"

"Not necessarily, just look at Kuang Xin's performance in the previous round. This team seems to defy common sense."

"But Anvil's mecha has such overwhelming firepower that, under comprehensive strikes, it would be difficult to entirely evade no matter how agile, right? Moreover, 'Gale' is a mass-produced model, its performance likely inferior to the prototype 'Breaker of Dawn'..."

Amid these discussions, both mechas enter the arena.

This match arena is No. 7, codenamed 'Lava Plain'—

An area relatively open in terrain but filled with cracks across the ground, occasionally spewing scorching lava, posing a significant challenge to mechas' cooling and heat resistance capabilities.

"City Breaker" resembles a moving iron fortress, covered in ferocious cannon barrels and launch ports, leaving deep imprints on the ground with its heavy footsteps.

Meanwhile, the "Gale" piloted by Rose features an eye-catching red and white paint, with sharper lines than "Breaker of Dawn". It is similarly equipped with a high-frequency cutting blade and energy shield, though seemingly lacking extra heavy weaponry.

Inside the cockpit, Rose takes a deep breath, feeling the stable feedback from "Gale".

Her face lacks the outward excitement of Kuang Xin, but bears a calm focus like water and a burning battle intent in her eyes, as fierce as her name implies.

She flexes her fingers, finding great reassurance in the subtle resonance brought by the neural link with the mecha.

The Absolute Nullifier's constitution allows her to ignore any mental interference, while the battle instincts honed through countless life-and-death combats are her most trusted weapon.

"The match begins!"

As the electronic sound falls, "Anvil" immediately showcases his signature combat style—merciless fire coverage!

Shoulder missile pods launch first, numerous tracking missiles roar out trailing exhaust flames, while the multi-barreled cannon begins to rotate frantically, spraying a dense metal storm, blocking much of "Gale's" movement space.

He intends to use the most direct firepower advantage to suppress or even directly destroy the opponent!

A chorus of gasps rises from the stands.

This gesture of all-out firing at the start is full of visual impact.

However, facing this overwhelming barrage of bullets and missiles, Rose's gaze remains unwavering.

"Gale," under her control, suddenly bursts out with astonishing starting speed! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Not retreating, not making wide evasive maneuvers, instead... rushing forward through the rain of metal using an unpredictably zigzagged trajectory!

Her actions contain no excess, each change of direction precisely navigates the gaps in the fire grid, the mecha weaving through the metal storm like a ghost.

The tracking missiles are guided by her to collide with the spraying lava columns, exploding into fireworks; most machine gun bullets miss, and those hitting "Gale's" energy shield merely ripple, causing little effective damage.

"How is this possible?!"

"Anvil" gasps inside the cockpit, eyes wide.

The opponent's speed and agility far exceed expectations; more crucial is that premonition-like prediction of the firepower trajectories and coverage areas, almost as if a Prophet!

This requires combat instinct with an extreme understanding of mecha performance, opponent's weapon characteristics, and battlefield environment!

In mere seconds, "Gale" has broken through the fire grid, approaching "City Breaker" to less than fifty meters!

"Anvil" feels a chill in his heart, swiftly activating the thermal main cannon, the wide barrel begins charging, gathering intense light.

He intends to use this strike to decide victory!

Yet, just before the main cannon reaches the critical point of charge, "Gale" moves.

It doesn't charge in a straight line, instead making a near-right-angle slight change of direction during high-speed movement, while the body slightly sinks.

This seemingly simple action perfectly avoids "Anvil's" predicted aiming point.

The next moment, "Gale's" thruster power surges to the limit, the mecha like a red lightning bolt suddenly advancing to the right leg joint side of "City Breaker"!

This position happens to be a dead angle in "City Breaker's" fire coverage, also where its massive body turns relatively slowly.

A glint of cold flashes in Rose's eyes, her right-hand high-frequency cutting blade with a sharp wail cutting through the air, strikes fiercely at the hydraulic transmission structure connection of "City Breaker's" right knee joint!

This strike gathers all her strength, speed, and exploitation of the mecha's limit performance!

"Slash—crack!"

The teeth-gritting sound of metal cutting and the sound of structural breaking resound simultaneously!

The high-frequency oscillating cutting blade, like a hot knife through butter, tears apart "City Breaker's" heavy leg armor effortlessly, accurately severing the crucial transmission shaft and hydraulic line!
