The axe-headed hand, with its axe-shaped edge and black flames, viciously lunged at the War Maiden, its intense heat distorting the very space around it.
Just inches away, Jiang Cheng and a group of soldiers huddled in a corner of the defensive membrane, watching the two colossal creatures fight. Giant shields were erected in front of their officers, ready to cover their commander's retreat out of the dimension should the axe-wielder make any move to attack humans.
Because they were too close, the missiles and plasma cannons could not be fired, and the aftershocks of a hasty firing could also affect humans.
In this situation, Tali ordered the individual combat units to disperse and fire at the War Maiden from the sides in an arc, using large-caliber firearms. The sound of gunfire was incessant, and sparks flashed from the hard surface of the axe.
After its blood surge, the Axe-wielding weapon's combat power was more than one level stronger than before. When fighting against the fully powered War Maiden, it would occasionally swing its arm to the side to attack, swatting at the individual combat mechs like swatting flies. The hard, small mechs would immediately turn into a twisted mass of metal, and the people inside would be mangled and bloody, no longer recognizable as human.
Red blood flowed from the bent armor, dripping onto the gray ice surface, its vivid color almost blinding.
As Jiang Cheng watched this scene unfold, he kept telling himself to calm down, his eyes fixed on the axe without blinking. He could even hear his own heartbeat.
In the chaotic scene, two colossal objects hundreds of meters tall attacked each other, causing the ice surface to shatter and tremble. Gunshots and shouts mingled, and the sound of signal telegrams beeped in the ears. Tali's veins bulged as he shouted angrily, and not far away, the defense captain took out a small cannon, put it on his shoulder, and fired a rocket with a "whoosh".
Jiangcheng ignored all of this; it only stared at the axe, waiting for an opportunity that would kill it.
At the height of the battle, the axe reached for her right shoulder, flames flying from its tip, and pierced through the warrior's entire arm, emerging from the other side.
With his left arm injured and his mech damaged, the pale blue screen floating in front of Zhu Yibai in the cockpit suddenly turned red, displaying a string of exclamation marks reporting damage to more than ten parts. But he ignored it all, instead raising the ice blade and desperately stabbing it into the axe-head's abdomen. With a "sizzle," it pierced its belly. Due to the excessive force, Zhu Yibai's hand turned pale and lost its color.
The two fought fiercely, neither willing to give up easily, thus restraining each other under the vast sky.
The soldiers providing remote support also ceased firing. The Valkyrie and the Axe-wielding mech were now overlapping, and it was unclear how they could avoid accidentally damaging the mechs in this situation.
Jiang Cheng's pupils contracted; he knew the opportunity had arrived!
"Phoenix Feather pilot, did you hear me?! Now! Turn on the switch, start the engine, and kill Axehead!"
"clear!"
Adela agreed and pressed the most important start button in the cockpit. The brain-like system controlled the Snow Woman to open the hatch on her chest. With a mechanical sound, a gray color suddenly appeared between the two opposing giants.
It was like a dim, lifeless sparrow, flying swiftly into the battlefield, darting into the sky through the gaps between the face-to-face war maidens and axe-wielders.
Then, the grayish armor plates on its body gradually peeled away, revealing an incomparably brilliant crimson gold underneath, the color of the blazing sun. Phoenix Feather's wings were enormous, and its speed was unimaginable; it disappeared into the sky in just a few seconds, with only occasional flashes of crimson gold indicating its presence.
Then, after flying to a certain altitude, it folded its wings together, turning into a huge blade, and swooped down to chop at the axe-wielding head.
By then, it was too late to realize something was wrong. The axe-wielding creature tried to break free from the snow woman's grip, but neither the hand piercing her shoulder nor the ice blade firmly embedded in her abdomen could free it.
It was already a certain death situation. It deeply felt how sharp the golden blade about to fall on its head was. Relying on the defenses on its body was a complete pipe dream.
Its pupils suddenly contracted, and in a flash, it looked down at the distant ice surface, where its lair was.
Axe-wielding man exhaled a chilling breath, and in an instant, a mad light flashed in his eyes. His blood-red vertical pupils turned and stared intently at Jiang Cheng.
It opened its enormous mouth, its upper and lower jaws seemingly about to dislocate, and spat out a black sphere, which slowly floated into the sky.
It's that unknown substance again!
But being so close, the axe-wielder would have absolutely no chance of avoiding the explosion!
Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the other party was going to... trade his life for his life?
Knowing that they had no chance of survival, they still made humanity pay the price even in death.
"Unknown substance! Everyone, retreat immediately!" Tali suddenly roared.
The phoenix feathers descending from the sky continued their fearless slashing, aimed directly at the axe's head, while the snow woman, holding onto it, showed no sign of letting go. At this moment… what were they thinking?
Jiang Cheng almost blurted out, "No!"
There was no time to speak, and no one listened to his orders anymore. Gu Qingwan and the soldiers dragged him out of the dimension, while Jiang Cheng still turned his head to stare at the final attack of the mecha in the sky.
They were not afraid of sacrifice; once their swords were drawn, they would not put them back until the enemy was killed.
The phoenix-feathered crimson blade sliced through the axe's body, brown blood staining the entire mecha and gushing out onto the Snow Maiden. Its massive body shattered in an instant, but highly corrosive liquid, along with the blood, shot out from its body like arrows, melting the mecha's body, and causing eerie green smoke to rise from the alloy plates. These arrows also struck the black sphere suspended in the sky.
"Bang!"
A terrifying explosion rang out, and the pure white light remained as terrifying as ever, sweeping wildly across the entire dimension. Heavy armored soldiers, holding up silver shields, covered the retreat of the others, showing no intention of leaving, forming a solid wall.
Although they turned to ashes the next second.
Before leaving the dimension, Jiang Cheng saw an extremely dazzling flame soar into the sky. The Snow Maiden burst open from her chest, her armor pieces flying everywhere. Like the axe, she was almost blown into pieces and crashed onto the gray ice.
His mind went blank.
Tinnitus, my eyes were suddenly blinded by a bright white light, and my heart felt like it was about to stop.
In a daze, he was pulled out of the dimension.
After regaining their senses, they found themselves outside of that dimension.
All the soldiers around him were panting heavily, and several high-ranking officers stared blankly at the thin film in front of them. Tali breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew that the axe-wielding man could not possibly survive such an explosion.
Similarly, Zhu Yibai and Adela, who manipulate the Snow Maiden and Phoenix Feather, are also involved.
"Commander-in-Chief! What's the situation?" a high-ranking official waiting outside asked anxiously.
"Wait ten more minutes, enter the dimension to confirm the death of the axe-wielder... We have won this war."
A moment later, under the snow, beside the camp.
Cheers erupted!
