Ye Ling took a deep breath and stared at the violent energy body in front of her. A faint blue light flickered in her eyes, like a supernova about to explode in the depths of the universe.

The alarm sounded sharp and shrill, and the protective shield shook violently, as if it would fall apart at any time.

The researchers around were already scared out of their wits and fled in all directions, leaving only Akali standing there, her face pale and her hands clenched tightly.

"Let's do it!" Ye Ling raised a confident arc at the corner of his mouth and started the fusion program.

In an instant, the ancient mecha core resonated within her body, and a powerful force surged through her body.

Ye Ling felt that she had become one with the mecha, as if she had transformed into an ancient warrior with infinite power.

The energy body sensed Ye Ling's intention and let out a deafening roar. The violent energy turned into sharp blades, attacking Ye Ling's mecha frantically.

"Zizizizi--" the alarm of the mecha continued to sound, and dazzling sparks flashed on the surface of the fuselage.

Ye Ling's eyes were determined, and her hands were flying on the operating table, controlling the mecha to nimbly avoid energy shocks.

Sometimes she rolled sideways, sometimes she soared into the air, each movement was extremely precise, like a skilled dancer dancing gracefully in a storm of energy.

The surrounding equipment flickered under the influence of energy fluctuations, as if it would short-circuit and explode at any time.

Akali watched the scene nervously, her heart feeling like it was about to jump out of her chest.

"Ye Ling, you must succeed!" Akali prayed silently in her heart.

Ye Ling controlled the mecha and continued to approach the core of the energy body.

The violent energy impact became more and more violent, and cracks began to appear on the mecha's energy shield.

"Warning! The energy shield is about to collapse!" The shrill alarm sounded again.

At the critical moment, Ye Ling's eyes flashed, and the power of the ancient mecha core erupted in her body.

A golden light burst out from her, illuminating the entire laboratory like daylight.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are!" Ye Ling's voice was full of confidence and domineering. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the core of the energy body.

"Stop! Are you crazy?!" A terrified cry came from the distance...

Ye Ling curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a contemptuous smile that said, "That's it?"

The frenzy of the energy body seemed to slow down in her eyes. She could even "hear" the trajectory of the energy flow and feel the pulse of the energy.

"You dare to show off your skills in front of an expert?" Ye Ling whispered, his fingers dancing faster on the console, like an e-sports master showing off his skills.

The power of the ancient mecha core surged within her body, resonating with the energy body, and even had the tendency to tame this violent energy.

The energy that was originally running around in all directions, as if guided by an invisible giant hand, gradually gathered into a torrent, and following Ye Ling's guidance, slowly flowed into the mecha.

The violent dark blue light was gradually absorbed by the mecha, and mysterious golden lines appeared on the surface of the fuselage, like ancient runes, emitting a heart-pounding power.

"It's done!" Akali shouted excitedly, her heart finally at ease.

The researchers around also stuck their heads out and watched this scene.

At this moment, the door of the laboratory was slammed open and a figure stumbled in.

"Ye Ling!" The person who came was Duan Yu. He was pale, with blood at the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered with scars. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle.

Ye Ling was shocked, and a warm feeling surged in her heart, but was instantly replaced by worry.

"Duan Yu, you..."

Duan Yu smiled weakly, and walked to Ye Ling with all his strength. He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, "I'm late... Fortunately, you're okay."

Ye Ling looked at the scars on his body, her eyes red with heartache, "Are you crazy? Why did you..."

Duan Yu interrupted her, "Silly girl, how could I let you face danger alone?" His eyes were gentle and his tone was firm, "I said I would always be by your side."

The air around them seemed to freeze, and an inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped everyone.

Duan Yu suddenly swayed and was about to fall down...

Ye Ling was quick to support Duan Yu's shaky body.

"How are you? Are you seriously injured?" Her voice trembled and she was extremely anxious.

Duan Yu endured the pain and forced a smile: "It's okay, I won't die. Did you...did you succeed?" His eyes fell on the mecha emitting golden light.

"It worked." Ye Ling choked up, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thanks to you..."

Duan Yu weakly raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face.

"I knew you could do it." His eyes were as gentle as water, as if they could melt all the ice and snow in the world.

The two looked at each other, and time seemed to stand still.

Everything around them became blurred, leaving only the deep affection in each other's eyes.

Danger, pressure, and conspiracy all seem insignificant at this moment.

"Ahem..." Leblanc coughed twice at an inopportune moment, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.

"Congratulations, Ye Ling. But this is just the beginning." She said meaningfully.

Ye Ling glanced at her coldly, ignored her provocation, and focused his attention on the fusion of the energy bodies.

The final steps are crucial, and any mistake can lead to all the previous efforts being wasted.

"Shut up!" Ye Ling shouted sternly, "If anyone dares to disturb me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

The researchers around were suddenly silent, not daring to make any sound.

Ye Ling took a deep breath, controlled the mecha, and injected the last bit of energy into the core.

"Buzz—"

The mecha let out a deafening roar, and the golden light became even more dazzling, as if it was going to swallow up the entire laboratory.

"It's done!" Akali jumped up excitedly and cheered.

The other researchers also showed shocked expressions, looking at Ye Ling in the light, as if they were looking up to a god.

Those who once laughed at, questioned, and obstructed her were now speechless.

Ye Ling stood in the light, like a king returning, completing the climax of the story.

She slowly raised her hand, clenched her fist, and felt the power surging in her body.

"Next..." She raised the corner of her mouth with a confident arc, "It's time for us to fight back."

Duan Yu looked at her and said, "Let's go together."

Ye Ling turned to look at Duan Yu, her eyes firm: "Together."

Suddenly, a strange fluctuation came from the core of the mecha...

"What is this?" Ye Ling frowned slightly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
