Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 886 - 627 Extreme Threshold

"What an intense attack... Is this the fabled Alpha Limit Overclock Attack that only a Legendary Mechanic can unleash?"

"She truly deserves her place as one of the two strongest Legendary Mechanics in the Bauhinia Republic. Even the oldest, most basic mecha in her hands can display such terrifying power."

"Someone like her... If she hadn't been born in the Bauhinia Republic, she would have been the brightest star under this piece of the galaxy."

"But... this is probably as far as she'll go, right?"

Outside the formless Psychic Energy Canopy, inside a pitch-black starship, a group of people stared nervously at the events unfolding before their eyes.

The Psychic Energy Canopy's cloaking and disguise effects were unilateral. From within its coverage, one could not perceive any abnormalities outside.

However, the scene from their vantage point, beyond the Psychic Energy Canopy, was entirely different.

Before them, countless small fighter craft, like pieces on a strategy board, whirled rapidly around the surface of a spherical barrier, crisscrossing with calculated precision.

The spherical surface formed by these crafts created a faintly glowing, translucent light shield in pale blue. It pulsed gently, as if breathing, undulating through spatial layers.

Numerous fighter jets launched from the blockaded Freeport were attacking this spherical barrier from various angles, their strikes exploding into bursts of light—like flickering candle flames in the cosmos.

The impacts from these diverse attack points caused subtle ripples across the pale blue translucent shield. At the same time, the drones maintaining the canopy hurried to each strike zone, ready to increase power output at a moment's notice.

This adaptive response was an innate control mechanism of the Psychic Energy Canopy. It adjusted real-time power output across every position of the barrier based on spiritual energy feedback.

The entire system was perfectly self-contained, immune to any external interference, including higher-level command inputs.

No matter the scale, this was the foundation of the Psychic Energy Canopy.

The group aboard the starship could only monitor; they had no capability to interfere or exert control.

Under their observation, even the combined maximum firepower from dozens of fighter ships paled compared to that of a single blue-grey antique mecha.

The Legendary Mechanic from the Bauhinia Republic, with dazzling flashes of her blade, was unleashing slashes powerful enough to shred small spaceships as she tried to penetrate the seemingly gossamer-thin boundary of the cosmic realm.

Though those inside the barrier couldn't perceive the feedback, those outside could clearly see the pale blue translucent shield—once as thin as cicada wings—was gradually darkening in color. freёwebnoѵel.com

More and more drones from across the spherical canopy sped toward the focal points of the assaults. The reinforced sections of the barrier coalesced into a deeper blue hue as power output increased.

A buzzing alarm signal came from the canopy's feedback system.

The canopy's breach threshold had reached 67%. If the target's attacks became even half as intense as their current level, they might actually manage to shatter the entire Psychic Energy Canopy on their own.

This would go down as a groundbreaking record in the entire history of the Psychic Energy Canopy.

But thankfully… If was just an "if."

Seeing the warning bar remain locked in the orange zone, the monitoring members of the Peak Alliance team breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"So this must be her peak performance, right?"

"Terrifying... It's a good thing we never gave her the chance to reclaim her mecha during our journey. Otherwise, I have no idea how we'd handle her."

"She has no chance. Mechas can't traverse long distances through space. If she ever hopes to return to her homeland, it's impossible for her to carry her mecha with her."

"Fortunately, we deployed the Psychic Energy Canopy right away. I initially thought the Alliance was overreacting… but now, it seems like even this canopy setup was barely enough. She almost breached it on her own. And her ally hasn't even made a move yet—can the canopy hold?"

"Ally? That intergalactic spy from the Star Alliance? What good is he?"

"Exactly! People from the Star Alliance always have an inflated sense of capability. They might seem like versatile all-arounders, but they're nothing but amateurs. On the battlefield, they might pass for elite pilots at best, but against the Psychic Energy Canopy? Useless."

"But hasn't the canopy already reached 67% of its breach threshold? If that guy's skills are even half as good as Catherine's, wouldn't our canopy be in real danger?"

"You're misunderstanding the canopy's capabilities. Against a single concentrated attack, the canopy might struggle to output enough power. But against multiple points of attack, it's not as simple as adding power outputs together. Even if that spy truly has half of Catherine's strength, the breach threshold would only climb by ten percentage points at most. Without a second mech pilot on par with Catherine, this canopy remains unbreakable!"

"Half? Saying he has half her strength is being kind. This mission… it's practically in the bag!"

"Is that so?" A young, seemingly new recruit in the group muttered softly, appearing unsure as he tried to process it all.

Before their eyes, another mecha that had seemed to be merely observing the battle now appeared to have finally realized its purpose.

Slowly, it unsheathed its combat blade and advanced toward a patch of empty space not far from Catherine's mecha.
