Stronger with Crimson Modifier

This was also why some stronger individuals tended to have more volatile tempers.

Beyond that, the reason she was behaving this way was also partly due to his own deliberate guidance.

He had added some memories of slaughter to the memories of the Perfect Mixed Martial Arts.

Zhao Ying was only acting this way because she was under their influence.

After all, he needed a Deputy with enough strength to help him achieve his goals.

Not some weak-willed high school student.

’Still, memories are one thing. She’ll need more combat experience to truly grow.’

Hu Qi recalled some information he’d obtained from hacking the restaurant’s network earlier.

’Maybe I can issue a mission for Zhao Ying to fight in some underground arenas, get her hands dirty.’

Suddenly, his expression tensed.

He had keenly sensed a violent fluctuation in the special energy that permeated the air.

However, the anomaly lasted only a moment before everything returned to normal.

Hu Qi immediately expanded his perception and carefully scanned the area.

However, he found nothing out of the ordinary.

At this, Hu Qi’s brow furrowed slightly.

’The rules of this world are far too restrictive.’

’My perception can’t cover nearly enough distance.’

’I couldn’t pinpoint the source of that fleeting fluctuation at all.’

...

「Ten minutes earlier.」

In the depths of the cosmos, darkness hung like a boundless curtain, shrouding everything.

Starlight seemed faint and distant here, as if swallowed by the endless void. The weak pinpricks of light looked as though they were being suffocated by the encroaching dark.

It felt like the end of time, a forbidden zone for life where only cold and silence existed for eternity.

Suddenly, a blinding flash of light erupted somewhere in the void, tearing through the dark curtain and instantly illuminating the dead, silent space.

Three menacing, pitch-black mecha emerged from the void.

Their surfaces held no luster, as if they devoured light itself. The pitch-black armor was covered in intricate, crimson patterns.

They emanated a heart-stopping, oppressive aura.

The mechas’ crimson eyes, like those of bloodthirsty beasts, were locked onto the Golden Mecha before them.

The Golden Mecha shone like a falling star, its entire frame radiating a brilliant light that seemed to drive back the surrounding darkness.

It wielded a massive Light Blade, its edge flowing with a torrent of hot plasma. Every swing left a trail of searing light.

"Three S-Level Abyssal Mecha? The Eternal Night Council really spared no expense. But surely you don’t think this is enough to make you my opponent?"

A man’s calm voice, tinged with disdain, emanated from within the Golden Mecha.

"We’ll see about that once we’ve fought!"

The lead black mecha’s pilot sneered.

As he spoke, his mecha shot forward to attack, moving as fast as lightning—a black bolt streaking through the void.

It drew a Long Spear formed of condensed black energy from its back. The spear’s tip tore through space with a piercing shriek as it stabbed toward the Golden Mecha’s chest.

The Golden Mecha held its ground. It swept its Light Blade horizontally to meet the Long Spear, and the collision erupted in a blinding flash.

Black energy and golden light intertwined, tearing dark rifts in space that quickly sealed themselves shut.

Just then, the second black mecha seized the opportunity to attack from the flank. Its arms transformed into two massive Shadow Scythes, their blades wreathed in black shadows that seemed capable of slicing through any obstacle.

The Golden Mecha’s reaction was incredibly fast. A tremor from its Light Blade sent the first black mecha flying. Then, with a twist, the blade blocked the scythes’ slashing attack.

The moment the scythes and the Light Blade collided, a piercing screech of metal on metal erupted, sending sparks flying.

Meanwhile, the third black mecha had silently circled around behind it.

It raised an arm, and a ball of purple light began to glow within the cannon barrel.

The next second, a purple Destruction Beam shot out, blasting toward the Golden Mecha’s back.

BOOM! Six incandescent Light Wings suddenly unfurled from the Golden Mecha’s back, their brilliant light forming a barrier that blocked the purple beam.

The moment the beam struck the barrier, a dazzling light exploded forth, as if a star had detonated in the void.

Just then, the first black mecha, thrusters flaring, charged back into the fray.

The three black mecha launched a frenzied assault, swarming the Golden Mecha.

Their attacks were a furious storm—black energy Long Spears, Shadow Scythes, and Destruction Beams weaving together to form a deadly web.

However, it was useless.

The terrifying attacks landed on the Golden Mecha’s surface, managing only to leave the faintest of scratches, which healed in the blink of an eye under the golden light.

It was as if the Golden Mecha were alive, capable of repairing itself.

In contrast, a single casual strike from the Golden Mecha could leave massive gashes on the three attackers. Shards of armor flew in all directions, and blue sparks arced from the cracks.

Seeing this, the Energy Reactors in the chests of the three black mecha suddenly unleashed three beams of black light that shot toward the Golden Mecha.

The power of the three beams seemed to form a shackle, locking the Golden Mecha firmly in place.

Tendrils of black shadow spread out, attempting to trigger an Erosion of the Golden Mecha’s surface.

"Haha! You want to kill me with this pathetic level of power?!"

The voice from the Golden Mecha boomed like thunder as its pilot let out a wild laugh, his tone dripping with mocking disdain.

As the words faded, the Light Wings on its back pulsed.

And in an instant, its figure vanished.
