At the moment of the Artificial Artifact Spirit's awakening, Liuzi was the first to sense it.
Prior to this, Liuzi had been wandering and stealth-attacking throughout this star system.
Isolated mecha squads were swiftly killed by his attacks, each explosion signifying the loss of a mecha's combat capabilities. The entire Star Region should have been blocked by him alone, perfectly showcasing the combat power of a champion mecha at this moment.
But as he was preparing to strike another mecha squad, their force field suddenly intensified, and desperate cries for help entered his force field,
"My God, what the hell is happening?"
"The mecha has lost control! I repeat! The mecha has lost control!"
"My mecha is devouring me. Who can save me?"
"Emergency evacuation, I declare, emergency evacuation!"
The cries for help lasted for a few seconds before silence wholly resumed.
Liuzi stopped; he knew the critical plot point had been triggered.
