I'm in the Teyvat running group

After unleashing the lightsaber, Yunxiu immediately launched at full power, charging directly in front of the Scorching Dust Armor. The two massive blades drew an arc in the air, sweeping across like a windmill, blocking all of the firepower-type mech's escape routes.

But at that moment, several shadowy armored vehicles charged towards Yunxiu, striking his mech shell with clanging sounds.

When they realized that this was ineffective, several shadow-like crystals actually stacked on top of each other to form a huge armor.

A massive armored figure wielding two twisted battle swords quickly appeared before Yunxiu. Although it had no eyes, even electronic eyes could still discern an extremely cold and murderous expression.

"Good, you're indomitable. It's a pity you didn't stay on the front lines to assist Firefly." Yunxiu moved, and even greater elemental energy gathered on his lightsaber, merging the two lightsabers into one in his hand.

With all eight thrusters behind him at full power, he raised his greatsword high and slashed down!

"Even if I'm a mage, I'd still feel the most satisfaction if I killed you today!"

Chapter 188 The Birth of Control Spells (First update on Saturday!)

The enormous lightsaber unleashed a violent storm, slamming directly into the face of the combined mech.

Even when combined, the mechs were incredibly powerful, managing to block Yunxiu's attack!

Yunxiu wasn't surprised. Since it was an artificial human force, sharing combat experience was basically normal practice. He simply used the thing in front of him as a practice target and started fighting it.

My mecha is actually more similar to the armored vehicles in movies like Rai and Tsukihime. It's just that I like this style, so I turned it into a mecha. But in reality, armored vehicles can transform at will.

Theoretically, you could wear Sailor Moon's dress to fight, but in reality, there wouldn't be much difference in combat power...

Because the protection itself does not rely on the armor on the mech, but on the force field and magic protection, the form does not affect the combat power itself.

Of course, if there is enough powerful energy to unleash it, theoretically even stronger combat power can be generated.

The two massive armored vehicles slashed wildly. Although the Grammer Iron Cavalry was quite powerful, they were only a group of people with a maximum combat strength of nine rings, and they were mass-produced.

In reality, he can't beat most of the peak level 8 characters. Even if he's unarmed, Yunxiu can kill them. After acquiring the God-level armor, Yunxiu's combat power is already close to the legendary level.

That's why, in just a few minutes, Yunxiu easily chopped these Crystal Bloom armors into pieces, collected them and the previously destroyed Zhuochen armor, and then lightly stepped on them, flying directly to the front of the Binding Shadow armor.

Looking at the Grammer android, which had been almost completely destroyed by her blast and now revealed a rather handsome face, Yunxiu pointed her finger, and a stream of light flew toward her head.

[Power Domination]: Eighth Ring/Enchantment System

You control a creature within your line of sight. It must undergo a DC28 perception save, or it will be under your control for the duration of the spell, which lasts for 8 hours. The effect becomes permanent when you cast it three times in a row or when you cast it using a 10th-level spell slot.

After Yunxiu optimized [Dominate Monsters], she created the control spell "Power Domination," which has a simpler effect than Dominate Monsters.

The only disadvantage is the difficulty of releasing it, which requires +15 or more Intelligence and +9 or more Perception, but this is nothing for Yunxiu, whose Perception is already as high as +11.

However, most mages need to be legendary level to use it...

He casually cast a healing spell to cure the iron cavalryman. Seeing the confused look in her eyes, Yunxiu deactivated her mecha and asked, "Number?"

“RS-1294, Imperial 'Shadowbinder' Squad Combatant.” She looked up at Yunxiu: “You… are you Mother’s messenger?”

“Although I could be, I’m not very interested. Has your connection with the Queen been severed?” Yunxiu continued, “How many combatants like you are left? Are you an early model?”

“No… I don’t mean it wasn’t cut off, but I was already ‘dead’ the moment I was controlled, at least that’s how it was with the Queen Mother.” She answered quickly, but then added an extra explanation.

When Yunxiu asked her a question, she thought about it carefully before cautiously speaking: "If we're talking about Shadow Binding, there shouldn't be many left. Even during the Republic era, manufacturing Shadow Binding mechs was quite complicated."

Yunxiu nodded, called out, and told Ying to bring Ling back. Then she handed her directly to Ling: "Tell her the current situation. It's okay, I've already erased her connection with the Queen Mother."

Zero nodded. After the battle, what surprised her the most was that Yunxiu didn't seem to have used her full strength, yet she easily wiped out an Imperial squad.

As for Yunxiu, although the team's coordination and tactics were indeed quite outstanding...

However, Grammer's own combat system seems to have a major problem: they focus too much on large-scale operations and neglect the attack on individual high-intensity targets.

This can also be seen from the story and the short film "Ember of Grammer," which shows that they don't really have a good way to deal with large units.

Speaking solely of the Shadow Armor itself, as Zero said, it is almost omnipotent in terms of mental attacks, force field binding, shadow envelopment, and information attacks, but it is practically useless against Yunxiu.

Even if Yunxiu didn't have such strong mental defenses, even if he were to tie Yunxiu up to protect against the school of mages' ability to cast shields and escape, he still wouldn't be able to do anything to Yunxiu.

Of course, if we take a conspiratorial approach, perhaps it's because Titania and the council are actually high-intensity individual targets that they did this on purpose.

Ying then came to Yunxiu's side and asked curiously, "Was that the armor you asked Thor to make before?"

"Yes, do you want one? I'll try to figure something out for you when we get back," Yunxiu joked. He really didn't think Ying would be interested in that; her body was far superior to this...

"So handsome!" Ying looked at Yunxiu with envy, her big eyes sparkling. "I've never seen anything this handsome before."

"It's a pity that it's bound to my soul, otherwise I could lend it to you to play with..." Yunxiu really didn't expect that Ying would want this thing for this reason.

However, if the goal is simply to look cool, creating a transformation series wouldn't be too difficult. We could even see Yingmei transform into Sailor Moon...

After casually exchanging a few words of agreement, Zero and RS-1294 caught up. Seemingly still in shock, she didn't speak, but silently followed behind the group.

According to Zero, there are usually only five or six armored patrols in each area, so most caravans hide during the day, and it's not impossible to avoid them if you're lucky.

The chances are extremely low. The entire Grammer region is not too different from the Earth's, and it is also based on latitude and longitude. However, because the surface area is much larger than the Earth's, even a region enclosed by 5° longitude and 5° latitude would cover hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

It is about three times larger than Earth.

However, the fighting strength of the Grammer Cavalry is much stronger than that of Earth's forces.

Therefore, usually only two or three units are needed to slaughter almost all the humans they encounter.

Fortunately, the team that was responsible for patrolling the surrounding four areas today became much calmer after Yunxiu wiped them out.

However, what's really absurd is that, according to Zero, the Shadow-type mechs were already rare, with less than two thousand built throughout the entire Republic era, and many more were destroyed after the war.

In a situation where you might only encounter one in very rare circumstances, Yunxiu actually managed to capture one today.

However, Yunxiu did have some clues. It was likely because Titania had detected that the Celestial Ship's warships would land in the vicinity, so she sent a fully-equipped squad.

This means Titania is aware of our existence, but it's not a big deal. At most, they'll send more troops to surround and annihilate us, but in terms of sheer numbers, the Celestial Ship is practically invincible...

As evening approached, the group finally arrived at the location agreed upon with Yan Qing. After waiting for less than two system hours, a massive warship slowly hovered in the air above them using a spatial teleportation technique.

Although it is described as a small warship, its actual size is not small at all. Its length of nearly 100 meters and huge propulsion system indicate that it is definitely a powerful warship.

Yunxiu even discovered a launch hatch that was clearly a heavy weapon under the warship's hull. Judging from the engraved runes and Yunxiu's observation, it could launch nearly legendary-level energy.

The warship's hatch opened, and two figures jumped down one after the other. Then, the warship vanished in a single warp, leaving Yunxiu speechless.

"Hello, I am Yanqing. You must be the Mr. Yunxiu that the general mentioned." Yanqing still looked like the same young man he had never seen before, with a sword box floating behind him and a terrifying aura emanating from his body.

"I am Yun Li!" The girl beside her was carrying a massive sword that was completely disproportionate to her body. If she hadn't been levitating, the sword would have been dragging on the ground...

"I am Yunxiu, and I should be considered Yunli's 'cousin' now, right?" Yunxiu smiled. "But that's not important. Let's talk about what's next."

These two people must have known each other several decades earlier than in history.

In the original timeline, Yun Li and Yan Qing should have met during the Immortal Boat Martial Arts Ceremony, which was after the Feng Rao Rebellion.

Choosing that there are still at least thirty or forty years until the chaos of abundance, although for the people of the Immortal Ship it is not much different from one or two years, in fact it is thirty or forty years!

These two are naturally compatible; who knows, they might even have a child by then...

As for strength, according to Yunxiu's observation, Yanqing is much stronger, basically approaching the level of the peak of the legendary realm.

In terms of cultivation level, he is not much different from the likes of Liu Yun Jie Feng and Kai Yang Xing. Of course, because of his superior swordsmanship, his combat power is much higher.

Although it's unlikely he'll reach the legendary level of Fox Palace, Yunxiu clearly saw that he hadn't yet grasped a single law, or rather, destiny, deeply enough.

As for Yun Li, her strength is much weaker. Although she is also a well-deserved legendary level, in reality, her combat power is basically no match for any of the legendary figures that Yun Xiu knows.

It must have just broken through to this level, which is why it was pulled out for training.

As for Grammer...

The only thing that could pose a threat to Yun Li is probably that Queen Mother, but the people of the Immortal Ship are inherently very resilient, and with Yan Qing and the fleet providing support, this is naturally an excellent training ground.

"How about we... go to the base to talk?" Zero, seeing the four of them standing there already starting a conversation, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Although I have great confidence in your abilities, but..."

"Let's go back and talk. It'll be a good time to formulate a battle plan." Yunxiu smiled. "Perfect, let's organize all the information we've gathered these past few days."

“No problem, Mr. Yunxiu, just leave the Titania confrontation to me. I’d like to try my hand at sword fighting.” Yanqing looked at Zero and said, “If there are any other strong opponents, you can tell me.”

I forgot you're a battle maniac...

Yun Li, standing beside him, wasn't particularly interested. Instead, she walked around Ling with great enthusiasm, especially after seeing the long sword behind him, which made her look eager to try it out.

Compared to combat, Yun Li is more interested in the "sword" itself, but the swords of the Grammer Iron Cavalry are just mass-produced products, far inferior to the legendary treasures in the hands of Yun Li and Yan Qing, which are divine artifacts in the common sense.

Moreover, after a brief examination, Yunxiu discovered that the two people's main weapons were most likely genuine divine artifacts, and Yanqing's sword case was even better than her own book.

It was most likely a gift from Jing Yuan; he really loves this disciple...

The return journey was even faster than the journey there. With no obstacles and the fact that it was already evening, they returned to the underground base in about two system hours.

Chapter 189 Victims in the Sky (Second update on Saturday!)

Fortunately, this road was originally a small path.

Therefore, apart from the surprised Mo37 and a few clones guarding the door, the general public did not actually discover anything.

In fact, they probably still don't know that Yunxiu has come here, and Zero has not spread the news that Yunxiu and Ying have come here.

Most people in Nanook Town were unaware of their identities, and no one knew whether there were Titania's spies among these clones—besides, is awakening really awakening?

If awakening is also a deception, then most people are actually still being controlled by Titania?

Of course, Yunxiu could summon the Immortal Ship Fleet and annihilate all these people, but what if he couldn't? Should he just let the last bit of Grammer's existence be cut off?

Therefore, avoiding contact is the best option.

If we can defeat Titania, we can let the Celestial Ship take over the reconstruction. If not, we'll find another way. We shouldn't give them hope only to have it dashed later.

Hope itself is the most terrifying, yet also the most helpless thing in the world.

“Now, let’s see how to deal with Titania.” Yunxiu and the others stood next to the large table. He copied the data that Zero had collected and the information about RS-1294 that they had just captured and handed them to everyone.

“Considering that the Immortal Ship Fleet will indeed have a hard time returning to provide support in the short term, our best course of action should still be a surprise attack.” Yunxiu pointed to the space elevator on the map and said, “The launch and operation of the space elevator itself is automatic. I have checked, and obtaining the necessary permissions is very troublesome. So my initial idea was to kill one or two mech units and impersonate them to go up there.”

He glanced at RS-1294 again before continuing, "But based on the information I have now, once Ironclad disconnects, it will immediately be stripped of all privileges, and its default status will be either betrayal or death, so this is unlikely."

"Xianzhou also has information attack and defense technology. Can it be solved through relevant solutions?" Yanqing pondered for a moment: "I know a few experts in information attack and defense."

“It’s difficult. Titania uses a simple and crude physical authentication method.” Zero handed over a plaque engraved with various words and said, “It is made independently every day and brought down by the Iron Cavalry who are carrying out the next day’s mission. It has a unique code and can only be used once.”

Now we're stuck in a vicious cycle.

The key will be rendered useless the moment it is stolen.

It's unlikely that you can copy and reuse it multiple times; it can only be used once.
