On a rainy night in Jingdu, three enormous heavy mechs surrounded a streamlined black machine.
A taunt came over the public channel: “Little guy, drop your weapons and hand over your mech. Do that, and we'll let you live!”
In the cockpit, Lin Qi looked at the words “Threat level: extremely low” on his screen and sighed helplessly.
He pressed the red button on the control stick and said softly, “Nightshade, activate overdrive mode.”
The next instant, ghostly blue patterns spread across the black mech, and the whole world slowed before his eyes.
In 0.3 seconds, he locked on to three targets. In 0.5 seconds, the plasma cannon was fully charged.
“Sorry, you know nothing about power.”
