Boom.

The Netherfire Fighter’s Nether Blade plunged into the ground, and with a burst of boiling flames, it suddenly activated. However, instead of directly charging towards the Darknight Fighter, it drew a massive circle around it. At that moment, the Netherfire Fighter’s left hand clenched fiercely. Boom.

Flames soared into the sky.

The current realm of the Flowing Heart Martial Soul wasn't just a simple display of light and flame; it was a true manipulation of soul fire through the k23 God element, a completely new form of energy.

From the audience's perspective, the scene was shocking and exciting, a truly grand spectacle. However, the competitors revealed strange expressions.

In a pilot battle, this would be terrifyingly effective, capable of inflicting significant damage on fragile human bodies. But this was a mech battle. This kind of spectacle, while visually impressive, had a completely disproportionate cost. Was he wasting zone power just to create a ball of fire?

Even with the melting effect of these flames, Li Hao wouldn't be without defenses. Against the backdrop of his opponent's golden zone defense, how much of an effect could it truly have?

To fully unleash the power of the human golden zone, one must either learn to integrate one's abilities into the mecha in the most efficient way, coordinating with the mecha's characteristics – and note, it must be coordination with the mecha – or invent new mobile suits that can cooperate with human abilities.

Clearly, they were currently still in the former stage.

Cyrille, Maxis, Basta, Van Fleet, and the others had no idea what Romero was doing. When facing Li Hao, even caution wasn't enough. Why was he bothering with these flashy theatrics?

Was he laying the groundwork for his teleportation ability?

As the ring of fire completed, the Netherfire Fighter ascended, the Nether Blade in its hand radiating endless flames. Like a fire demon lord, the Netherfire Fighter, surrounded by the fire ring that instantly engulfed the Kepler battlefield, raised its flaming sword and descended from the sky, slashing towards the Darknight Fighter.

Rumble rumble rumble.

Accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the flames erupted. The audience could only see the shadows of the two mechs flashing through the fire, a whirlwind of blades. Boom boom boom boom...

The two mobile suits moved with incredible speed within the flames, their movements flashing. People could only hear the intense collisions, the actions of the two mechs becoming faster and more ferocious, dazzling everyone.

The ground around the flames began to char and crystallize. The reason the k23 element had shown such an unstoppable trend since its emergence was that human golden zones and nuclear fusion's atomic energy could be fully integrated through the God element, achieving unbelievable effects. And the Flowing Heart Martial was the realm where this was truly unleashed.

Although only the outlines of the two mechs could be seen, everyone could easily distinguish between them. Each attack from the Netherfire Fighter gained momentum from the flames, the attacks becoming faster and more ferocious. Initially, the Darknight Fighter could still parry, but gradually it was forced into a passive defense. Each strike from the Netherfire was accompanied by a roar of flames, as if it would engulf the Darknight Fighter in a fiery hell at any moment.

This kind of violent scene was unprecedented. The Martians were becoming fanatical. No one else could withstand such a Romero. Get rid of the Puppet, and the rest were just trash.

How could one resist under such terrifying zone dominance?

The Netherfire Fighter was becoming faster and faster, while the Darknight Fighter was becoming slower and slower. Although it appeared to be passively defending, don't forget that Romero had a deadly instant teleportation move. Perhaps he could only use it once, but under such absolute suppression, that instant teleportation would be the Puppet's doom. Under the interference of the fiery hell, both the pilot and the mecha were subjected to fire distortion, no longer in a conventional combat environment, but in an unprecedented predicament.

How much of the Puppet's skill and ability remained?

Auffie and the others were very calm, even relieved. Romero's idea was good, and this move would be enough against most opponents, but he was facing Li Hao.

Could a tactic that even they could think of win? The only thing they were somewhat wary of was the teleportation move, but against Li Hao, that was the only chance. And if it didn't yield results, a fatal counterattack awaited.

Under the frenzied assault, the red light and flame on the surface of the Darknight Fighter resisted the erosion of the melting flames, appearing extremely sturdy. The defensive stance was to wait for Romero's finishing move. Under this frenzied offensive, and while still burning the Flowing Heart Martial, Romero wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

Romero, on the other hand, hoped to find an opening through a strong attack, creating a more certain opportunity to unleash instant teleportation. This was an open strategy, understood by both sides!

Romero's Netherfire Fighter began to spin, the entire fiery world spinning with it. Like a hellish war god, it carried a massive fiery aura, slashing at the Darknight Fighter in a spiral, one strike after another. The entire Kepler world was vibrating with the flames.

Wolf Martial Skill: Never-Ending Hellish Hundred Ghosts!

Kill kill kill kill.

The entire Martian audience was in an uproar. The students of Wolf Martial Arts Academy were red-faced, howling madly, pounding their chests: absolute attack, the most valiant lone wolf!

The frenzied attacks were relentless, this was definitely an attack to decide the outcome. In the midst of the spinning, the power of the flames became increasingly dominant, and the flames were being absorbed by the Netherfire Fighter, increasing the pressure on the Darknight Fighter.

Boom.

Another strike. The Darknight Fighter was still defending steadily, an almost infuriating stability. However, at that moment, the ground beneath its feet suddenly cracked and collapsed.

The ground, scorched and crystallized by the flames, had finally given way. And with this sudden change, the Netherfire Fighter abruptly vanished.

Everyone's eyes widened, but this widening of eyes seemed slow, like a slow-motion shot.

At this moment, Romero's pupils emitted a rising red light. The soul essence ability was fully unleashed. The entire world was a kind of scorching, distorted red. The mecha moved very slowly, the Nether Blade slashing down with a "strange" slowness. In the world beneath the rising red, the flying fragments and the giant ferns about to fall seemed to have stopped. The Darknight Fighter was still looking forward, completely like a statue. At this moment, the world seemed to have stopped.

Only because his opponent was Li Hao had Romero prepared all of this so meticulously. All the flames were meant to deceive. His ability wasn't instant movement over a distance, but a flame-scorched time dilation ability. Only he could move when the ability was activated.

The ability came at a huge cost, but it was an invincible ability. It was finally perfectly executed, and the terrifying enemy hadn't reacted. A trace of long-suppressed joy finally appeared in Romero's heart. But at this moment, the nightmare emerged. The Darknight Fighter's head suddenly twisted, and at the same time, the Blood Moon flipped outward...

The next second, the world returned to normal.

The Netherfire Fighter appeared on the right side of the Darknight Fighter, the reverse side of the dominant hand, the most difficult side to defend. The Nether Blade slashed down!

In everyone's vision, in the flame-filled battlefield, Romero's Netherfire Fighter miraculously appeared on the right side of the Darknight Fighter, unleashing a full-powered strike. The Darknight Fighter hastily raised its reverse-hand blade to defend, but that was all it could do.

But could it block it???

Boom.

The Darknight Fighter was blasted away, crashing directly into the giant fern forest. The flame domain exploded, and fire rained down, scattering like meteoric fire everywhere.

The entire arena erupted. The Martian audience was already on their feet. This was the strongest Romero!

Romero, Romero, Romero.

Wolf Martial City was already chanting the name of their faith warrior. Even if this strike didn't kill, it would cripple him. The Darknight Fighter had only defended hastily. Being able to judge that much was already amazing, but against such an ability, what else could it do?

In the contestant area, several people frowned. They sensed something was not quite right, but they didn't know what it was. They felt like they had missed something. More were ecstatic, after all, Romero had defeated not just a contestant, but also the nightmare that had been weighing on their hearts.

Leaving aside winning or losing, at least this person wasn't invincible. In the world of mechs, anything was possible!

Boom.

The giant ferns exploded, and the Darknight Fighter soared into the sky, landed, and the Blood Moon swept away the debris.

Clang clang clang clang.

The Darknight Saber walked back to the battlefield step by step, each step as if it were stepping on Romero's heart. Romero's eyes gradually became manic, with an even more incredible terror within the madness. "As expected of you, you could even discover this, even control this. You're still you, that bastard, haha, hahahahaha!"

Everyone in the arena was baffled. In fact, the commentators were also at a loss. This was already beyond their realm.

Those in the arena who could truly understand could be counted on one hand.

Cyrille revealed a faint smile, but also a hint of regret on his face. "Romero's ability isn't just fire, but the time dilation ability derived from fire. A very interesting ability."

That wasn't teleportation, but his own speed was so fast that it seemed like teleportation. But the burden on himself was also terrifying. He didn't know what method Li Hao used to not only figure it out but also keep up with this speed.

The Darknight Fighter returned to the battlefield. Li Hao was truly pleasantly surprised. This was one of the most interesting powers he had encountered. "What a pity, you're not skilled enough. Are you still up for it?"

Romero licked his lips, his pupils contracting violently. His full power was just the other side's amusement, what a sad world. "How could I not be? You can defeat me, but we Martians still have Basta, he's stronger than me. Martians can't be ruled by you forever!"

Romero tore off his eye patch. The director immediately gave him a close-up, even though he didn't know what had happened. It was clearly a situation where Romero had a great advantage, yet he spoke so tragically.

Everyone knew Romero was one-eyed, but it seemed that no one had ever seen the state of his other eye, and no one knew how he had gone blind.

That eye had no white, just a dark abyss.

One black and one red. At this time, the black eye began to emit a black light, one red and one black. Accompanied by Romero's roar, the dissipated flames began to burn again.

Flowing Heart Martial: Yin Yang Fire Dragon Soul Essence!

"He's going all out."

"Burning his life? He went blind in one eye last time he used this. What price will he pay this time?"

At this moment, the red light and flame on the surface of the Darknight Fighter suddenly turned golden.
