Great, we're doomed now!

At this point, less than ten seconds had passed since the two began their battle, and the other Gundams didn't even have time to come to the rescue.

The mysterious enemy machine had already raised another sharp blade, aiming it at the cockpit of [Agares].

Agnica, whose mental focus was incredibly concentrated, could even sense the approaching aura of death—

[Right thruster!]

A sound flashed like lightning, and without thinking, Agnukka increased the power of the right thruster to its limit.

boom!

A [Dynsniv] grazed past the Gundam and accurately hit the enemy's shoulder. The hard bullet jammed M·A's armored arm, restricting its range of movement. However, the sword fell and Agunica escaped.

[Everyone step back, I'll handle this!]

A silver meteor streaked towards them, and [Bayeli] crashed into the space between them with unparalleled force!

"Interesting... This posture is indeed no different from that of an angel."

boom!

The two swords clashed and then separated. During the brief standoff, Ye Shou got a clear look at his opponent's appearance:

With white as the main color, huge wing thrusters unfold behind it, creating a long ion tail flame. It holds two crimson swords and has a balanced body with a sculpted beauty.

What is particularly striking is its head—which is designed to resemble human facial features.

This makes it more human-like than a mobile suit!

"Identifier name..."

Unexpectedly, the machine took the initiative to send a message to Ye Shou, just like a knight's challenge to a duel.

...In both appearance and behavior, they seem to be deliberately imitating humans.

"His name is M.A... [Michael Archangel]!"

Chapter 190: Gundam is not such an inconvenient thing! (4.5K)

Clang!

Red-hot iron filings flew everywhere!

Two figures, one silver and one white, left long trails in the universe, like two comets flying towards each other, colliding, separating, and colliding again at a dazzling speed!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Each clash between the golden twin swords and the crimson blade unleashed dazzling sparks. The particles released from the Yahab reactor became entangled and annihilated each other, creating powerful shockwaves that resembled invisible magnetic fields, causing nearby warship fragments and small debris to drift away.

Both of their maneuvering trajectories have completely exceeded the scope of conventional mobile suits, sometimes rapidly climbing, sometimes angularly deflecting, using the thrusters to reverse-eject and achieve instantaneous hovering and changing direction—not to mention flesh and blood, even the hard alloy frame of the Gundam could not withstand it.

However, not only did Ye Shou hold on, but [Bayeri], who benefited from the Legion's bonus, also held on, and even [Michael] was able to keep up!

Ye Shou noticed that the radar reflection of this uniquely shaped machine was very strange. It was not a continuous line segment, but an arrangement of "dots", like a randomly appearing ghost.

Furthermore, during each exchange, [Bayeri]'s movements would appear somewhat unnatural, as if he were being restrained by something.

—A force field generator!

This humanoid M·A is equipped with some kind of black technology that even Gundam doesn't have, allowing it to achieve maneuvers similar to Yamori's!

He is indeed a formidable opponent...

Any other Gundam would have been quickly overwhelmed by Michael's offensive, but Ye Shou adapted to the battle rhythm after a short time, and his adaptability clearly surpassed that of the enemy's killing AI.

So he took the initiative to change his fighting style, abandoning all secondary weapons and keeping only two longswords, maximizing the output of the dual furnaces.

Its movements were so bizarre and fast that they surpassed those of Michael. The clash between the two was so intense that even radar screens observing from a distance could only capture a blurry dot of light.

“We simply can’t keep up with their speed!” a bridge operator who was trying to use the fire control radar to lock onto [Michael] to provide support for Ye Shou shouted in despair.

The moment the target was locked onto the screen, it was already in a completely different location in the next second, and even the fastest beam couldn't catch up!

Not to mention kinetic weapons~

"It's like a battle straight out of mythology..."

Agunica, dragging the severed arm of [Agares], retreated, fighting alongside the other Gundam pilots against the swarming humanoid M·A.s around them, but her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the battle in the distance that defied common sense.

They possess powerful bodies and unwavering will, yet at this moment they can only "sigh in vain," unable to intervene even slightly in that realm of incredible speed—this is entirely a matter of physical endurance.

This level of overload can squeeze the fluid out of their bodies like toothpaste in just three seconds!

A sense of powerlessness mixed with awe of a transcendent being spread through the hearts of all the legion members who witnessed the battle.

In the center of the battlefield, Ye Shou was completely focused, his pupils slightly contracted, his fingertips moving in a blur on the control panel—

【Bayeli】Under his control, the performance was brought to its limit, and every maneuver was exquisite. Even with the performance doubled, Ye Shou, who was completely immersed in it, still felt a little constrained.

They had gradually gained the upper hand. The small spike that hit them at the beginning, although not fatal, had gradually become a huge hidden danger in the high-intensity confrontation. [Michael] had been exploited by Ye Shou more than once because of this weakness.

At this rate, victory should be assured soon, yet Ye Shou's brow furrowed slightly:

Something's not right...

After several rounds of combat, Ye Shou keenly realized that this opponent named [Michael] had a fighting style... or rather, movements and thinking that were strikingly similar to his own!

It's not a simple imitation, but rather a set of tactics evolved from the same combat logic and understanding of the mechs. Many combos and countermeasures are almost mirror images.

The sense of oppression that Agnica felt when fighting him must have been this familiar feeling!

Moreover, the opponent's machine performance was actually superior to [Bayeli]'s, whether in terms of instantaneous acceleration, maximum speed, or joint force output. Strictly speaking, Ye Shou surpassed the opponent using mystical methods, but the gap was clearly not large enough to unconditionally crush him.

Those maneuver trajectories that defy conventional physical intuition...

'Was it an evolved form specifically designed to counter me, developed based on previous battle data?'

In the blink of an eye, Michael closed in again, his twin swords flashing like a storm, his attacks relentless.

Ye Shou calmly parried and sought opportunities to counterattack, but his opponent always managed to dodge in advance or deflect the attacks with a more precise angle of his sword. And once the two clashed in close combat, that feeling of being entangled by something would reappear.

'Could it be...?'

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Shou created some distance and, in the blink of an eye, made contact with his subordinates.

The next moment, a thick beam of light shot out, but Michael stood motionless in place—

boom!

The beam of light disintegrated into countless streams of light that vanished into the universe, just like the defense provided by the nano-armor.

This seems unsurprising, yet Ye Shou saw it clearly:

The beam was deflected and then spread out before it even hit the target!

This thing looks like it's encased in an invisible shell... It's the Yahab Reactor!

The free particles released by this energy can generate a shielding field, causing electrical appliances to stop working. They also tend to clump together, and if the density is high enough, they can produce a physical force field effect.

— And M·A used some kind of black technology to turn this negligible weak force field into a practical invisible shield!

If every component is enveloped in a force field, it is indeed possible to perform such erratic maneuvers...

This machine must be destroyed!

Ye Shou's resolve was firm, and he had another reason not to let Michael go. In the next confrontation, the six black ropes on Bayeri's back suddenly sprang out like venomous snakes with life!

Instead of attacking directly, they circled around Michael's flanks and rear in eerie arcs, attempting to block his escape route. At the same time, the sharp blades at his tails gleamed coldly, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow—a move that had brought countless M·A to their deaths.

However, Michael showed no panic in the face of this sudden multi-directional attack, clearly indicating that it had recorded it in its database and had also prepared a contingency plan.

Suddenly, a soft mechanical sound came from the upper structure of the pair of huge wing-plate thrusters behind it. Immediately afterwards, three wingplates on each side, a total of six wingplates, separated and deformed, colliding with the four tail blades with a burst of flame and bouncing off, while the remaining tail blades were easily dodged.

The six wing panels spread out, and the blue nozzles in multiple directions adjusted their positions, transforming into six small drones!

These aircraft, though small in size, possess independent propulsion systems and weapons—

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Like a wasp's stinger, it was thin yet deadly. Even Ye Shou couldn't completely dodge it at that distance. One of the stingers hit the machine's knee joint, and the cockpit immediately displayed the damage and related analysis.

Hard alloy... This is clearly a miniature Gangnose nail!

A miniaturized Gangplank launcher?

No, the Gungnir is essentially just an electromagnetic gun, and the principle is quite simple... But with such a small size, is there enough energy to launch the Gungnir?

hum~

After the drones were launched from the backplate of [Michael], protruding launch ports were revealed. Visible light waves gathered on them, forming light rings only two meters in diameter. The drones also gathered around the body like swallows returning to their nests.

"..."

Seeing this scene, even though he had somewhat expected it, Ye Shou still couldn't help but gasp in astonishment:

This is Bruman's wireless charging technology!

This efficiency is just too much...

--boom!

The drones dispersed again, traversing the surrounding space at speeds comparable to ordinary mobile suits, aiming at Ye Shou from every angle.

"this!"

Ye Shou's eyes sharpened, and his sense of crisis surged.

The main thruster of [Bayeri] burst out with overloaded blue light, and the machine broke upward in an extremely difficult and almost twisted posture, while the golden twin swords danced in front of him to form a screen of light!

Clang! Clang!

The two spikes were deflected by the blade, and the flying sparks were almost within reach. The strong kinetic energy impact made [Bayeli]'s arm tremble slightly.

Although these were not enough to threaten Ye Shou's life, they completely disrupted his offensive rhythm!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Michael's true form unleashed a blazing light from his twin swords once more, carrying an even more formidable aura, like the swords of a true angel, as he slashed down at Bayeri, who was temporarily besieged!

Ye Shou observed the enemies in all directions with an expressionless face, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp and... serious.

"bring it on!"

[Bayali] suddenly turned back, ignoring the spikes flying towards him, and swooped down towards [Michael]. As soon as the golden longsword was unfurled, it deflected a spike, and then slashed forward.

Clang!

The two machines clashed again, but unusually, they did not separate immediately upon contact, instead remaining locked in a stalemate.
