The unfavorable start put the Western Fleet in a dangerous position. Already equipped with weaker forces compared to the Sixth Fleet, they were caught off guard. The commander faced two options: either endure casualties to forcefully re-align the formation and confront the Sixth Fleet, buying ti for Blanchi to raise the Solar Crowns, or temporarily avoid battle by scattering the fleet into the Asteroid Belt, using the broken asteroids to shield and retreat, reforming the formation later.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Marshal Odo, as commander, chose the second option.
"We must preserve enough living forces." Although the first choice was steadier and less risky, the Western Star Region fleet doesn't have the capital for stability at the mont.
Thus, the starships of the Western Fleet broke down into individual units, dispersed into the Asteroid Belt, shuttling within and retreating continuously.
Facing this situation, the Sixth Fleet naturally pursued relentlessly, countless beams crossing the Star River, shattering the teorites surrounding the Stellar System. anwhile, accompanying carriers opened their bays, deploying hundreds of thousands of fighters like swarms, overwhelmingly diving into the complex environnt of the Asteroid Belt.
Although the main force found it difficult to maintain formation in such a complex area, the fighters could handle it.
To intercept the enemy fighters and cha, the Western Star Region fleet at this mont released their fighters and cha, using the ti gap before the enemy arrived to lay Suspended Mines and various disrupting traps in the Asteroid Belt.
The artillery continually exploded in the teorite Belt, so Western Star Region starships failing to enter in ti were shattered by the main axis artillery of the Sixth Fleet, turning into fragnted dust and molten debris amidst roaring flas.
Twenty minutes later, high-speed cha at the forefront had gradually approached the Asteroid Belt, beginning to enter a combat state. At this mont, both sides' cha battled in this environnt filled with dust and fractured rocks, occasionally using large teorites in the area to shield from enemy fire.

The deep blue almost black cha maneuvered rapidly in the teorite Belt, its contours mostly angular with curves, resembling the shape of flying feathers. The thrusts on its back and shoulders switched rapidly, giving the massive cha unimaginable agility to dodge enemy fire. anwhile, the silver lightning-shaped patterns on the cha's surface gradually lit up, indicating the charging within was nearing completion, giving a growing sense of danger.

In the cockpit, bright golden text appeared in view, followed by a dense and complex golden circuit erging around the pilot's seat. Within monts, it was filled with Magic Power, then connected to the pilot, interspersed with golden and black imprint patterns appearing on the rear of the cockpit, continually spreading towards the core Power Furnace inside the cha.
['Thunder Spirit's Call' system activated, the driver should prepare for an impact]
As the chanical prompt echoed in the cockpit, the golden and black interwoven imprint patterns ultimately extended to the core of the Magic Furnace, where erupting magical sparks exploded instantly. A thick golden Aijeika current then pierced through the entire imprint pattern, reverberating throughout the cha.
The originally deep blue cha was now covered in golden lightning patterns, becoming blazing and dazzling, like walking lightning. At this mont, the cockpit was also filled with currents strong enough to instantly kill any Transcendent below Sequence 6, the extre environnt causing so of the internal components of the cha to deform and smoke, yet granting it far greater combat power than usual.
With terrifying speed, the golden electric cha crossed the battlefield, making many aid guns and artillery fail to lock. It crisscrossed back and forth, covering several kiloters in re monts, and the golden Electric Blade on its arm pierced through four Sa Rank cha within seconds, cutting them in half, their cockpits inside lting and annihilating.
After crushing the enemy, this cha once again transford into a shining golden teor, constantly shuttling through the complex teor environnt, tearing apart opponents one by one like the Legendary 'Thunderbird' bringing death.
"That's enough!" From the rearguard in the Western Star Region, a dark red cha rushed forward, its outline square like a heavy steel gate, with 24 crimson jets arranged across its shoulders and back, continuously boosting its linear acceleration capacity.
[Rose United Fleet A316 Fleet - 'Vanguard 104' Unit - Unit 3021 'Smoke Battle Car-b1' cha, requesting to lift A1 level restrictions]
[Urgent task authorization completed in advance, the application is authorized, allowing all weapons and systems within A-level restrictions to be used]
Generally speaking, ordinary cha are not equipped with high-risk weapons requiring A-level permissions. Any weapon system needing A-level permissions unlocked is extrely detrintal and dangerous. The activation of such a weapon system implies the driver is about to take a last-ditch effort or fulfill a necessary sacrifice order.
Once the command lock was lifted, the dark red heavy cha, like a burning red branding iron, had all its armor turned blazing red, with wisps of black smoke constantly emanating from the rear jets. After revealing the boiling core within, a thick cannon muzzle extended, aiming at the constantly flying golden lightning.

...
Inside the cockpit of the 'Thunderhawk A1' cha, dark red alert warnings flashed continuously. The pilot was fully focused, frequently adjusting directions to evade the targeting, while droplets of sweat continuously slid down his forehead amid the boiling electric sparks.
Although the cha resembling a branding iron appeared cumberso, with the propulsion of multiple jets and robust internal power, its linear speed was not slow, continuously approaching the golden roaming lightning. anwhile, the chest cannon also kept adjusting, targeting the opponent's position.
Finding no escape after several attempts, the pilot of the 'Thunderhawk A1' decided to make a large-arc turn, changing direction to fly directly over the 'Smoke Battle Car.' Just as its pilot prepared to sigh in relief, a deep red explosive jet burst from the leg of the crimson cha thousands of ters below, propelling the entire machine upwards. Then, the chest cannon unleashed the boiling heat flow it had been charging for so long.
The burning red jet stream sliced through the sky, cutting a teor passing by, and then swept over the golden lightning-like cha, engulfing it.
Seconds later, the 'Smoke Battle Car' cha exhausted its energy, the chest armor closed again, and the original shoulder and back thrusters were now so weak, like run-down scrap tal, slowly drifting through space, waiting for rescue.
Elsewhere, the 'Thunderhawk' cha, swept by the blazing stream, was charred black. Although its shape hadn't dramatically changed, the sensors and external thrusters on the golden armor were almost all destroyed. Inside, the pilot's condition was uncertain, and it crashed into a teor along its original flight path, dissipating into space as a solitary, blackened coffin.
Perhaps it will be a long, long ti before soone retrieves this cha from the space debris and explores its history and deeds.
However, these are rely minor episodes in a vast battle where countless High Rank Extraordinary Ones, envied before for being cha pilots, perished like collapsing sands, with fragnts and wreckage scattered across the Star Sea Space.
The United Fleet of the Western Star Region fought while retreating, continually advancing along the Asteroid Belt, leaving behind traces of a battle between blocking forces and pursuers. Dead starships and cha debris floated in the air.
At this mont, a gray-white cha gradually appeared from its Invisibility state, with the cockpit's young girl's gaze sweeping over the warriors confird dead in her view, her expression solemn.
She then piloted the cha, re-entering Concealnt mode for Subspace travel, persistently pursuing into the deep space.
She wanted to end it all but knew neither side would heed her advice now.
The clash of the era's tides must fully release accumulated conflicts before gradually calming down.
For now, she could only suppress the arrival of the most irreversible tragic outcos.
