Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

["Lucky Strike" charge +10.]

[Your Emotional Absorption has absorbed a massive amount of emotions, transforming a portion into Spiritual Energy that has been added to your reserves, Spiritual Energy +50/50.]

[The warriors' souls deeply trust in you, and your "Soul Black Hole" has absorbed those dissipating fiery spirits, successfully converting them into 50/50 Spiritual Energy added to your reserves.]

Feeling the once again expanded capacity of his spiritual energy reserves, Bai E's lips slightly pursed.

Since this body has become the vessel for many faiths, he must then give everyone a future to look towards!

Surging Spiritual Energy burst forth, covering every corner of the vast mech's body.

Although utilizing Spiritual Energy on a mech would grant the base explosion of mech power, it also required a 10-fold consumption.

Even with the near-endless Spiritual Energy from the "Virtual World" as replenishment, the instant burst capability was still limited by the total amount of Spiritual Energy one possessed.

After his last advancement to the third tier and an additional 100 points to his Spiritual Energy limit, when Bai E operated the mech, he no longer found himself in the embarrassing situation of his recovery not keeping up with instantaneous use like last time during the battle against the Sovereign and its guards.

Thus, before everyone's eyes, the military mech, equipped with no flight capabilities... unexpectedly took to the sky!

After entering the third tier of Spiritual Energy—Free Will, a Spiritual Energy user already possessed the ability to fly.

And with the expenditure of more than 10 times the energy, even the mechs without flight capabilities were now soaring into the sky amidst the blaze of Spiritual Energy.

Bai E, who had come to initiate the final decisive battle against the hive, held nothing back.

Blackwater City wanted to use this battle to demonstrate their strength to the Imperial City, and he too needed such an opportunity to intimidate and awe the hearts of the people.

The path to seizing control of the city was by no means smooth sailing, and sometimes those whose loyalties were not firm—fence-sitters—were also key to determining victory or defeat.

They might only follow the victor, but before the outcome of victory and defeat was clear, it was also necessary to instill in them enough confidence of a winner!

If enough people believe, even the false can become true.

Watching the mech that had suddenly taken off from the ground and now held its battle blade aloft in the sky, everyone inside the armored vehicle was utterly bewildered at this moment.

"What happened?"

"It... it flew up!"

"How could it fly?"

"Since when did the military mechs have flight devices installed?!"

"Impossible! The military mechs don't have the conditions to be fitted with flight devices!" a high-ranking member of the Mechanical Court felt as if their entire worldview had been shattered.

"All the mechs in the Mechanical Court capable of flight use special materials and have dedicated aerodynamic designs, this is the only solution our city's research has come up with."

Do you know the kind of knowledge accumulation it takes to send such a massive object not designed for fluid dynamics into the sky?

For this flying ability, in fact, the mechs of the Mechanical Court had made concessions in many other areas.

For instance, the number of weapons they could carry was limited, their armor's defensive power was limited, and although there were technologies like shields to compensate, the immediate consequence was the prohibitively high cost of production.

A single Mechanical Court mech capable of flight could cost at least as much as ten military mechs.

Just based on the design and size of the military mecha, it had absolutely no condition to fly into the sky.

But at this moment...

Staring at the image of the massive floating object on-screen, a high-ranking Mech Pilot from the Mechanical Court had his eyes wide open in disbelief, "I know now, it must be a gift from the Mech Soul Master!"

The Mech Soul Master, omnipotent!

I knew that the Mech Soul in our Mechanical Court was holding back a move from us!

Isn't their Mech Soul so sensible?!

The mecha hovering midair did a flip on the spot, diving down with a battle saber held in hand.

Carrying an unmatched force, it launched a deadly attack directly at the target Dominator from midair.

The three nest guardians, only able to fight on the ground, could only stare blankly at the target in the sky for a moment.

Facing the enemy attacking from the air, they had no space to chase and block, and if they stayed too close to the Dominator, they would undoubtedly restrict its movement space—making it unclear whether they were helpers or hindrances.

While Bai E indeed possessed the skill to fervently emerge and engage in a forced one-on-one battle, the Dominator, with its strong learning capability, didn't need its guardians to contend against it. It simply used their bodies as moving barriers in its path, making it tough for Bai E to bypass their blockade and behead the Dominator forcefully.

The longer the delay, the greater the odds for the bugs' victory.

This time, the human armed forces were not as strong as in the previous two encounters, and if Bai E didn't break the stalemate, the frontline battlefield was uncertain to offer much advantage. Once night fell, it would be an even greater disaster for the humans.

Not to mention, what Bai E least wanted to see now was the close-combat bayonet fight.

The faster it ended on his side, the fewer casualties there would be among his warriors on the frontline.

Once the nest was wiped out, the remaining forces might be all he had left, his absolute core strength for the future!

He would feel the loss even of half of them.

Therefore, Bai E pushed his Spiritual Energy output to the limit, unleashing all amplifying abilities without reserve. The first slash aimed at the Dominator was filled with the power to instantly annihilate a hundred.

Facing the Dominator raising its four arms to block with blades, Bai E easily sidestepped, initiating a swift turn from its flank.

With the current enhancement abilities Bai E mastered, no matter to what extent he strengthened his alloy battle saber, it was never a match for the Dominator's four bone blades singing in unison.

Using skill to force the Dominator to spread out its bone blades was the only option for Bai E to evade its strong point.

The Bai E from last time could do this, so naturally, it wasn't difficult this time around.

The challenge lay in the frequency of attacks. An effective assault every 10 seconds versus one every 5 seconds would naturally reduce the Dominator's health at a completely different rate.

He hadn't been able to kill the Dominator last time because his killing efficiency was limited, unable to seize the moment under various restrictions.

But now... with the battle shifting from two-dimensional ground combat to a three-dimensional war with the added vertical option, the space for tactical choices had increased exponentially.

The capability for effective assaults against the Dominator had also doubled.

For a moment, the heavy mecha, with its newfound ability to float, was like an agile bird flipping and flying through the air. Each brilliant flash of the saber tore a piece of flesh from the Dominator.

Almost powerless to retaliate!
