Genius Mechanic: Chapter 190

Agaman Sea Star Contaminated Zone (Galactic Ranking Competition)

190. Dawn’s Champions

Qi Sicheng’s expression darkened; he saw no opportunities for a breakthrough from his position.

Trace was an incredibly skilled Artillery mecha pilot. For him, targeting a mecha within his range was second nature, with coordinates merely serving as supplementary tools. Even if Qi Sicheng avoided Sink’s direct coordinates, Trace could still accurately pinpoint his location and fire the Sniper Cannon. Qi Sicheng had no choice but to dodge, and he couldn’t block either… It wasn’t just on his side, Zhao Lejie was also facing the same challenge. With Sink and Yao acting as fixed targets for Trace, they were both exposed.

Once their coordinates were exposed and they crossed into range, Trace would prioritize targeting them.

It would have been beneficial if they could’ve suppressed Trace, but the challenge was that Trace was in sync with Sink. Whenever Trace aimed at their positions, Sink would assist in suppressing their Artillery mecha.

If it were any other mecha pilots, Qi Sicheng might not have been pushed to this extent, but the problem was that these two mecha pilots were exceptionally skilled. Once they started working together, there were no openings to exploit.

In the KID channel, after Huo Yan captured the flag point, no one dared to relax.

“We’ve secured the flag point,” Huo Yan said. “I’ll hold this position; how should we handle the rest?”

Lu Xi replied, “Don’t retreat; we have the advantage with the stronghold. As long as Qi Sicheng doesn’t make it over, we can hold our ground.”

“Hold the line!” Lin Yao’s voice was slightly urgent. “I’m holding off Lao Zhao here; we can’t let Da Feng’s sacrifice be in vain.”

【KID is too strong!】

【Oh my god, I’ve been having goosebumps the whole time.】

【I can’t even blink!】

In the depths of the ocean, the flag point illuminated with KID’s emblem, and KID’s Tank, Huo Yan, firmly held the position. His Counter-Damage Shield strongly countered the artillery fire from above.

While the Counter-Damage Shield’s defensive power wasn’t as high as Zhao Lejie’s shield, it was effective against return fire when facing Gale’s Artillery and Medical’s shells. The original half-cover defense had a flaw, but when Huo Yan raised the shield over his head, the flaw was covered by the rocks underwater at the flag point. This meant that Huo Yan didn’t need teammates to protect his back—he could guard the flag point all on his own.

Gale’s Artillery noticed the challenging part of the situation. “Captain Qi, it’s tough to break through using brute force. We can’t get close to Yan.”

The best way to deal with the flag point was to apply overwhelming force—whoever got closer to the flag point would have the advantage in capturing it. But it was clear that KID had anticipated this move and had blocked Gale’s two core members from getting close to the flag point. This meant that brute force wasn’t an option anymore; they had to find another way.

“We still have 12 hours left. Don’t worry about Huo Yan,” Qi Sicheng quickly responded. “Huo Yan is a melee fighter. As long as he’s guarding the flag point, he can’t provide support to his teammates.”

Upon hearing this, Gale’s Artillery immediately caught his point. Yes, why were they fixated on attacking the flag point? Huo Yan, in his effort to defend the flag point, was now effectively welded to it, making him a stationary target. If they could eliminate the other KID mechas first, even if Qi Sicheng and Zhao Lejie didn’t make it back in time, KID would be at a disadvantage once they lost their mechas.

Indeed, the defenders had their advantage, but that didn’t mean the attackers were at a disadvantage.

“The roles have reversed! KID has captured the flag point, with 11 hours and 20 minutes left until the end of the seventh day. Can KID hold this flag point for the remaining time?” The commentator’s voice was especially excited in the live broadcast. “Gale is already adjusting their strategy, and they plan to take the flag point back from KID!”

On the battlefield, Gale didn’t panic after Huo Yan secured the flag point. Instead, their three mechas immediately turned to charge at KID’s Control mecha, Lucy.

【They’re planning a 3-on-1!】

【Gale is smart—if they take out KID’s two other mechas, all that’s left is a lone Tank!】

【Without artillery and control support, KID’s Tank can’t stop the three mechas.】

As soon as the three mechas changed directions, Lu Xi knew they had shifted their target to her. She immediately used her Enhancement Cannon to block one of the mechas, but in the next second, a Water Flow Grenade from the nearby Medical mecha hit her directly.

You Su switched from his Sniper Cannon to the Energy Cannon and quickly fired at Gale’s Artillery after repositioning, blocking Gale’s Artillery from advancing on Lu Xi. “Lu Xi, move closer to Huo Yan and let him protect you.”

No matter how strong Lu Xi was, it would be tough to escape being surrounded by three mechas, especially since the enemy had medical support, giving them a speed advantage in the water. She started moving toward Huo Yan’s position, but Gale’s Stealth had already anticipated this and swiftly blocked her path.

You Su had to keep his Sniper Cannon available for more distant intercepts. Lu Xi knew that the intense combat had already put a lot of pressure on You Su and Ying Chenlin. She couldn’t add more burden to her teammates. She calmly said, “I’ll distract them.”

She still had control weapons that could hold off one of Gale’s mechas, even if it meant taking damage from another. “I’ll keep Gale’s Stealth locked down, ignore the Medical mecha.”

Their weapons’ disadvantages were something they couldn’t overcome. With only 11 hours left, her only task was to delay time. Gale’s Stealth was too lethal, so she had to focus on controlling it and preventing it from getting close. As for the Medical, she couldn’t do anything about that.

Huo Yan didn’t object to Lu Xi’s plan. “Hang in there.”

Gale’s two mechas were no pushovers. When they noticed Lu Xi’s deliberate actions, they immediately realized her intentions. Gale’s Medical had a high accuracy with the Water Grenades, and they quickly used them to block Lu Xi’s Enhancement Cannon, creating an opportunity for their teammates to get closer. With a 2-on-1 situation, they weren’t at a disadvantage.

You Su positioned himself in front of Gale’s Artillery, preventing their shots from affecting Lu Xi. “Ying Chenlin, we don’t have enough time. We need to take out the other mechas.”

Ying Chenlin calmly observed the situation on the battlefield and, after analyzing the radar points, said, “Take out Gale’s Artillery.”

“Their strategy is clear—they want to eliminate KID’s Control mecha first,” the commentator analyzed. “KID’s entire formation is interconnected. Once Huo Yan’s position is fixed, KID effectively only has four mechas against Gale. If Lucy gets taken out here, it’ll be tough for Trace to defend the flag point alone.”

【Gale has taken back the advantage at the flag point.】

【At this rate, it’s uncertain if KID can hold the flag point for the entire 11 hours!】

【Gale is strong at defense, but they’re not weak at attacking either.】

In the distance, Sink and Yao continued intercepting, holding back Gale’s two strongest mechas.

Lin Yao’s Spatial Staff continued to activate repeatedly, even after the space was broken multiple times by Qi Sicheng. He didn’t waste any of the 30-second intervals, and even when Zhao Lejie moved 10 meters away, Lin Yao quickly closed the gap in the next 30 seconds. The Spatial Staff had no control effects, but as long as Zhao Lejie raised his shield, Lin Yao would stubbornly use the staff to force him back.

Zhao Lejie eventually stopped using his shield altogether. He and Qi Sicheng adopted a parallel approach, where the one who broke through first would have the advantage. Zhao Lejie used his control Lightning Blade to delay Lin Yao but could clearly sense the changes in KID’s Guardian. They had fought against KID’s front line a long time ago and admired their aggressive style, but this time, Zhao Lejie noticed subtle changes in Lin Yao.

Lin Yao had become more agile in close combat. If before, Lin Yao relied on brute force to charge head-on, now he had learned to control and evade. His combos were still strong, but to avoid the Lightning Blade’s effects, he incorporated dodging into his attack sequence, adding finesse to his fighting style.

“Lin Yao has changed a lot—he’s more agile now,” Zhao Lejie noted, realizing that his shield was ineffective against Lin Yao and chose to engage in a blade duel instead.

Qi Sicheng also noticed the problem. If they wanted to seize the advantage over KID, the issue wasn’t with him or Zhao Lejie, but whether their teammates at the flag point could find a breakthrough. “Ignore Trace and Yan; focus on taking out Lucy first.”

Once Lucy was dealt with, Gale’s Medical or Stealth mechas could fully exploit the breach, allowing them to either assist their teammates in breaking free from the encirclement or put pressure on Huo Yan at the flag point. This would resolve the primary issues they faced.

The battle on the field grew increasingly intense, with the high-paced combat keeping all viewers glued to their screens, not daring to blink. Their focus was on KID and Gale’s mechas, whether it was the mechas in the water desperately trying to avoid Gale’s entanglement or the four mechas engaging in long-range skirmishes. Both sides continued to fight relentlessly, each looking for an opportunity to exploit any weaknesses and gain the upper hand.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield—Trace’s movement speed increased.

Just as Qi Sicheng’s Heavenly Thunder Cannon blasted forth, he noticed something was off.

The distant Medical mecha didn’t attempt to intercept. Instead, it moved freely in the water using its thrusters, with its Energy Cannon glowing as it charged up. The change happened in an instant. As Qi Sicheng focused on Sink’s cannon, the Medical mecha, which had dodged the Heavenly Thunder Cannon’s shot, suddenly redirected its fully charged energy blast during the brief interval when the thunder-based abilities lost effect. The cannon shot suddenly veered towards another direction.

Qi Sicheng’s expression shifted, “Artillery, dodge!”

But by the time Gale’s artillery realized the danger, the energy blast had already covered the distance and hit it straight on. The 100% hit rate of an Energy Cannon was a severe blow to Gale’s Artillery, which lacked defensive weapons. It instantly increased the mecha’s wear rate by 10%, jumping from 30% to 40%.

Gale’s Artillery recognized this problem but couldn’t predict the direction of the projectiles, forcing him to constantly reposition to avoid Sink’s targeted strikes. However, as he moved, Trace also repositioned, turning the encounter into a chase between the two Artillery mechas in the water. Just when he thought he had dodged Sink’s shot, Trace suddenly fired his Sniper Cannon round at him.

It felt like he was facing two opponents, and he couldn’t predict the latter’s every move.

Qi Sicheng warned, “Watch out for Trace; Sink is predicting your movements based on his coordinates.”

Before he could finish speaking, a cannon shot suddenly came at head-on him. Qi Sicheng had to switch to using the Heavenly Thunder Cannon defensively, using it to counter the incoming Compressed Windstorm, which forced him back several steps.

During this brief moment, Sink’s Energy Cannon finished charging again. Taking advantage of the moment Qi Sicheng was affected by Compressed Windstorm, he fired another energy blast, accurately hitting Gale’s Artillery from a distance.

“Sink and Trace are still working together!” the commentator exclaimed in surprise, “Sink’s target is Gale’s Artillery, and he’s teaming up with Trace to ambush them!”

【Crap! Trace isn’t helping Lucy; he’s chosen to assist Sink in suppressing Captain Qi!】

【It’s more than just suppression—they’re making it impossible to predict them. Even if Captain Qi can anticipate Sink’s movements, he can’t predict when Trace will fire.】

Gale’s objective was straightforward: reducing KID’s numbers to regain the advantage.

KID was aware of this, and to prevent Gale from regaining the advantage, they had to find a way to reduce Gale’s numbers first.

A few drops of sweat appeared on Ying Chenlin’s forehead as he swiftly switched between perspectives, predicting Gale Artillery’s movements based on You Su’s position. Since the opponent had noticed the coordinate issue, he couldn’t rely on the coordinates alone and instead focused on tracking their movement trajectory.

“Gale’s target is KID’s Control mecha, while KID’s target is Gale’s Artillery,” the commentator quickly explained during the livestream. “KID and Gale are racing against time! Both teams are trying to reduce the other’s numbers!”

At the flag point, Lucy was still rapidly repositioning, constantly switching between her Spider Silk Cannon and Enhancement Cannon. The former was used to restrain the Stealth mecha’s approach, while the latter was to block the Medical. Gale’s Stealth and Medic mechas were no pushovers either; they continuously avoided Lucy’s control, with the Stealth mecha using their throwing knives to inflict damage on Lucy. In this ongoing mutual restraint, Lucy, who was in a disadvantaged position, saw her mecha’s wear rate steadily increase.

At the same time, Gale’s Artillery’s wear rate also gradually rose under the combined attacks of Sink and Trace.

Sink’s barrage didn’t let up. He continued to coordinate attacks with Trace, each shot precisely targeting Gale’s Artillery. The intensity of the crossfire grew with every exchange. He had no time for breaks or predictive pauses; the audience saw only his continuous charging and firing. Before each shot, it was impossible for the viewers to predict whether he would target Gale’s Artillery or block Qi Sicheng.

As time ticked away, both Gale’s Artillery and KID’s Control mechas were fighting to buy time for their teammates.

In the resting area outside the venue, many Artillery mecha pilots had their eyes fixed on Trace and Sink.

Chi Lizi noticed his captain’s focus and glanced sideways, seeing a rare display of emotion on the usually composed man’s face. “Captain Wen?”

Wen Yi of the Black Crow didn’t blink as he stood watching the virtual screen at the venue, observing the exquisite coordination. “Everyone in the Star Alliance knows Sink’s strength; keeping up with his rhythm isn’t easy. Trace is handling it effortlessly… this is top-tier tactical coordination.”

“KID’s Control mecha is at 70% wear rate, Gale’s Artillery at 68%—” The commentator closely watched the wear rates of both teams’ mechas, noting how this tug-of-war had reached its peak. “Lucy’s still dodging! She’s using the Spider Silk Cannon to counter Gale’s Stealth mecha, still buying time.”

Gale’s Artillery struggled to regain its rhythm. It was indeed challenging to avoid attacks from two mechas, but Trace still needed to suppress the distant Qi Sicheng. He only had to focus on Trace, knowing that if Trace’s weapon shifted directions, Sink’s attack would follow. While desperately evading the attacks, Gale’s Artillery kept a close watch on Trace’s movements.

Inside the cockpit, You Su’s eyes were devoid of emotion. Long periods of maintaining one’s rhythm could create a habitual evasive action in mecha pilots, and once this action became routine, it presented a 100% hit rate opportunity. “Ying Chenlin.”

In the distance, KID’s Medical continued its actions. Hearing You Su’s voice, the Energy Cannon in his hands was fully charged. “2 seconds.”

At that moment, Gale’s Artillery noticed Trace’s swaying movements and instinctively dodged to the side. In that instant, Trace’s fire wasn’t directed at the distant Qi Sicheng but instead was rapidly fired toward Gale’s Artillery. Simultaneously, an incoming Energy Cannon shot from behind Gale’s Artillery also approached him.

Qi Sicheng shouted, “Dodge!”

Gale’s Artillery had nowhere to escape.

With a thunderous explosion, a massive surge of water swept over.

[KID-Sink has eliminated Gale-Feng]

Trace and Sink deviated from their usual tactics and simultaneously attacked, taking down Gale’s Artillery.

Qi Sicheng, unable to save his teammate, seized the opportunity to break through toward Sink’s position. However, KID’s two long-range mechas adjusted their positions quickly. After Gale’s Artillery was hit, Sink immediately shifted to pursue. As Qi Sicheng advanced into the mid ground, You Su’s Sniper Cannon struck again, forcefully pushing Qi Sicheng backward and regaining control.

“Gale’s Artillery has been eliminated! KID has regained the numerical advantage!”

The commentator said, “A target switch: Trace locked onto Qi Sicheng, and Sink adjusted to aim at Gale’s Medical!”

【Shit, they’re on a roll!】

【Sink wasn’t that much of a threat before, but now the distance is too great.】

【KID is effectively attacking with two Artillery mechas now! Gale still can’t retreat!】

As a Medical mecha, Sink’s attacks weren’t very threatening, but the real issue was his distance’s advantage. While his attacks on Qi Sicheng and Zhao Lejie might not cause significant damage, switching to Gale’s Stealth and Medical changes things. From a distance, his Energy Cannon becomes much more effective. KID was now applying pressure with two Artillery mechas, and Gale had no way to retreat.

If Gale retreated, they would lose control of the flag point area.

In Agaman’s lounge area, every mecha team watched the ongoing clash between KID and Gale. Ke Lin observed the widening gap with some interest, saying, “To force Gale into this state, KID might be able to dethrone them as Dawn’s Kings.”

Hu Luobu remarked on the high-frequency attacks, “It’s impressive. Aren’t Trace and Sink getting tired?”

On the podium, every leader focused on KID.

“Were KID this strong?”

“They’re actually pushing Gale this hard.”

The live broadcast’s viewers were captivated by the intense struggle. With Gale unable to retreat, Qi Sicheng immediately changed directions to assist Zhao Lejie in dealing with Lin Yao. The control from the Heavenly Thunder Cannon and Ripple Staff were very strong. Qi Sicheng suddenly altered his course and used his position to control Lin Yao, immobilizing him in place.

Ying Chenlin changed direction to assist Lin Yao, but Qi Sicheng noticed that his Energy Cannon’s effectiveness was affected by the distance and did not choose to dodge. Instead, he took the damage head-on to lock down Lin Yao.

You Su frowned, “Lin Yao is in the way, it’s difficult to aim.”

Lin Yao expanded his space and said decisively, “Don’t worry about me. I can still hold on!”

Ying Chenlin instructed, “Forget about Lin Yao, focus on eliminating Gale’s Stealth and Medical!”

Lin Yao remained calm despite being outnumbered. He knew his chances of surviving against Qi Sicheng and Zhao Lejie were slim, but he continued to use his Spatial Staff to block their attacks. Even if he was controlled, as long as there was time to remove the control, he could still suppress Zhao Lejie.

In Agaman’s maintenance area, Ji Qingfeng, after being rescued and taken to the repair area, had no time to check his wife’s 80% damage. He rushed out of the cockpit and headed straight to the virtual screen, focusing entirely on his teammates.

Ji Qingfeng walked with a limp, followed by Agaman’s medical team who dragged and pressed him onto a stretcher. “This mecha pilot, please cooperate with us!”

Shen Xingtang, observing Ji Qingfeng trying to get up from the stretcher, handed him the live broadcast on a light brain, saying, “Watch.”

Ji Qingfeng exclaimed, “Fuck, Yao Bao, fuck them up!”

Shen Xingtang stood beside him, her brow marked by a scar hidden under her disheveled hair. She listened to Ji Qingfeng’s voice but didn’t look at the screen.

The sound of his voice stirred an indescribable emotion in her, like a dream she dared not imagine.

With six hours remaining in the match, two elimination notifications appeared.

Gale’s Medical and KID’s Control were both out.

[Gale-CK has eliminated KID-Lucy] [KID-Sink has eliminated Gale-GOY]

The Medical mecha continued to shift its position, its Energy Cannon locking onto Lin Yao. It used the Energy Cannon to buy time for Lin Yao while simultaneously switching the cannon’s aim to the more distant flag point. Leveraging radar data, it pressured Gale’s Stealth, creating an opportunity for You Su to seal off the attack.

The Spatial Staff once again created a barrier, keeping Qi Sicheng outside the space’s zone. The agile frontline mecha pressured Zhao Lejie, and Lin Yao, enduring the damage from the Lightning Blade and struggling with paralysis, pressed forward, not giving Zhao Lejie any chance to advance.

【Yao’s damage has reached 65%!】

【A real man, Yao ah!!!】

【My mom, their frontline is attacking a Tank, and it’s Dawn’s number one Tank!】

Zhao Lejie cursed, “Is he some kind of insulator?! How can he still move after being electrified for so long?!”

Qi Sicheng ignored this, breaking through Lin Yao’s spatial barrier with his Heavenly Thunder Cannon, attacking Lin Yao again, “Eliminate him.”

With only 3 hours left in the match, Lin Yao, despite his best efforts, had his damage reduced by 15% and was taken out by Qi Sicheng’s Heavenly Thunder Cannon. The standoff on the field shifted to a 3 vs 3.

With Lin Yao eliminated, a crack appeared in their frontline’s defense, Huo Yan urgently called out, “Xiao Yao.”

“I’ll handle Qi Sicheng,” You Su quickly responded, “The Stealth has changed direction.”

Upon hearing You Su’s voice, Ying Chenlin immediately adjusted his position. The visual screen was flickering, with the Compressed Windstorm’s water currents hitting the two Gale mechas. The Medical mecha steadily advanced through the chaotic water flow. The mecha pilot remained calm, unaffected by the loss of a teammate, with a 100% charged remote Energy Cannon targeting Gale’s Stealth. Before Gale’s three mechas could regroup, along with Trace, they eliminated Gale’s Stealth.

With 2 hours left in the match, Gale’s Stealth mecha was out, and KID regained the advantage at 3 vs 2.

In the rest area, Jiang Simiao could no longer stay seated. He stood up, watching the virtual screen high-above him with intense focus, anxiously drinking two large cups of water.

Gu Xiaotian watched the boiling hot water being downed, “Jiang Ge, it hasn’t even cooled down.”

Jiang Simiao hoarsely said, “F*ck, hold on ah!”

The live broadcast was filled with excitement, with all viewers closely following the action.

【I feel like it’s possible!】

【No way!? Is Gale really going to be taken down by KID?】

【These two teams are so strong! It feels like I’m watching a Star Domain match. Is this really the level of our Dawn’s teams?】

【The coordination between KID’s Artillery and Medical is incredible… My god, Sink and Trace are so strong!】

【Gale, don’t lose! Go after them!】

【Oh my god!! KID, go for it!!!】

The intense rhythm continued as KID and Gale pulled and tugged at the flag point.

Ying Chenlin’s movements had become almost mechanical. He could hear his own heartbeat, and the growing fatigue was pressing down on him. He took a deep breath, switching his weapon from his left hand to his right, without resting.

You Su, hearing the heavy breathing, frowned and said, “Ying Chenlin.”

Ying Chenlin replied, “I can still hold on. Let’s go.”

Zhao Lejie looked at the incoming artillery fire, “Does Trace still have energy? How many shots has he fired already!”

The 100% Energy Cannon shots and Trace’s Sniper Cannon were locking onto the same direction.

Zhao Lejie was hit by sniper shots from the front and pushed back by Energy Cannon shots from the side, almost being overwhelmed by the combined attack.

Qi Sicheng frowned, “They’re teaming up to break the shield.”

Zhao Lejie had no time to worry about this. As he turned, he was hit by another wave of Energy Cannon fire from the back, “Too passive!”

Qi Sicheng activated the Ripple Staff, “Dodge, we can’t increase the damage. Let’s drain their energy.”

Outside the flag point, the two blue mechas from Gale and the three red-and-white mechas from KID stood firm. Zhao Lejie’s shield was at its maximum, providing excellent defense as he advanced step by step. Trace’s Sniper Cannon continually locked onto him, and powerful Compressed Windstorm attacks repeatedly struck Zhao Lejie’s shield, while Qi Sicheng’s Heavenly Thunder Cannon was intercepted time and again by Sink’s Energy Cannon.

The live audience watched the tense mecha standoff with bated breath. From their perspective, KID’s two long-range mechas were running low on energy, but Gale’s two mechas had weak offensive capabilities. Both sides were using their limited resources and skills to try to control the situation.

【Holy shit, Sink is starting to control the energy!】

【Qi Sicheng is draining the opponent’s resources, and Sink is controlling the output.】

【Every shot is so well-timed, Sink and Trace are taking turns!】

In Aegis’ base, Wu Qingshuang’s expression grew increasingly serious as she stood in front of the virtual screen. The base’s mecha pilots had been called over, and everyone was watching this special match. This wasn’t the usual Dawn fight they had seen in recordings; such a tug-of-war battle was truly remarkable for a Star Domain match.

Aegis’ coach commented, “Very strong.”

Wu Qingshuang said, “We underestimated them.”

In the arena, the struggle among the five mechas continued. KID, despite their high energy consumption, didn’t give up. The Medical and Artillery were countering each other, controlling each other’s output abilities, and suppressing the advance of Gale’s two energy-full mechas.

Qi Sicheng looked up at the distant Medical mecha, which had not retreated. At that moment, Sink created distance, positioning himself further away, with his Energy Cannon charging at 100%. “Sink has increased the distance!”

His Ripple Staff wasn’t put away, continually slowing down the shells and giving Zhao Lejie a chance to dodge.

With half an hour left, Zhao Lejie squeezed into the flag point. Qi Sicheng’s Heavenly Thunder Cannon blocked the Compressed Windstorms, while Huo Yan didn’t retreat, using his shield to contest Zhao Lejie’s stamina. After a short while, Sink seized another opportunity with successive hits, causing cracks to appear on Zhao Lejie’s shield.

Ying Chenlin, beads of sweat dotting his forehead, knew the remote Energy Cannon shots presented a higher damage potential. He said coldly, “Huo Ge and Zhao Lejie are contesting the shield. Force Qi Sicheng out of Tank range. His Ripple Staff is giving Zhao Lejie time to recover!”

No other sounds came through KID’s communication channel, only short, urgent commands from the three members.

Huo Yan held his ground at the flag point, unwavering and immovable. He fought Zhao Lejie with all his strength, not stepping back an inch, while Ying Chenlin maintained his distance. He managed his limited energy carefully, using every shot of his Energy Cannon to its fullest, working with You Su to push Qi Sicheng back.

At 15 minutes, Trace and Sink’s combined efforts forced Qi Sicheng out of the flag point, completely blocking his control.

At 8 minutes, Yan used the team’s pressure to forcibly push Zhao Lejie out of the flag point.

The live audience watched in silence, and the commentators were too stunned to speak.

Finally, as the clock approached zero, at the exact moment it hit zero, the flag point at Agaman Sea Star Contaminated Zone prominently displayed KID’s mark. On the Dawn League’s system, the seventh day’s occupation report popped up—

[The Seven-Day Capture Battle Has Ended, Day Seven Flag Point A’s Occupying Team—KID]
