From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 226 - 185: Break Through Defense, Level Up
Delrimus Base 3 had failed to send out its distress signal, but after some adjustments, it managed to send the information through a backup channel.
Upon receiving the alert, the upper echelons of the Descent Faction were enraged, promptly dispatching armed forces to support Delrimus Base 3.

Meanwhile,
Below Delrimus Base 3 on level three, Lu Heng made his way to the gateway of the first laboratory.
This location was used for experiments with Mechanical Demons, hence the segregation system was robust; one could only enter through this door.
Lu Heng was about to act when a voice transmitted from the communicator, from the Xavier Matrix.
"Descent Faction used a backup communication line and has received the alert of the base being attacked. The first batch of reinforcements, consisting mainly of drones and mechanical guards, is expected to arrive within ten minutes. The second wave will arrive after thirty minutes, mainly comprising Mechanical Warriors and Superpower Users."
Lu Heng considered for a moment and asked, "If I block the passage we came through now, will there be a way to evacuate everyone later?"
The Xavier Matrix replied, "If you go down to level six, there's basically no guaranteed method of stable evacuation. You'll have to decide for yourself."
"Understood."
After making up his mind, Lu Heng said, "Help me intercept the reinforcements; try to delay them until midnight."
The Xavier Matrix agreed, "I'll do my best to intercept the reinforcements, but I can't guarantee stopping them all. If escape becomes impossible, you can choose to abandon the mechanical units."
He had already guessed what Lu Heng was thinking, so he took the initiative to suggest abandoning the mechanical units.
The mechanical units participating in this operation were dear to him, but if necessary, they would have to be sacrificed.
...
After ending the call, Lu Heng organized the tactics for the third level: "I'll cut open this door with a slash from the Aurora Blade, followed by the Source Energy Shock Bomb to clear the way, then the mechanical units will execute firepower suppression and advance. Once inside, eliminate all Demons and Mechanicals in sight, leave none."
Everyone gave a thumbs up to indicate confirmation.
Then, Lu Heng activated his Source Material Energy, unleashing a Rift Slash.
The Rift Sword Radiance sliced diagonally into the alloy door, bursting it open with a loud bang.
As the alloy door collapsed, inside mechanical guards immediately opened fire with various kinetic and energy weapons.
A barrage of bullets formed a steel curtain, pouring down like rain, but upon reaching the doorway, they were shredded by an invisible Rift Barrier.
This Rift Barrier, created by the Rift Slash, left behind Rift Traces that blocked and tore apart any material flying toward it.
Lin Zeyu quickly condensed Source Energy in his palm, creating a "Source Energy Shock Bomb" and threw it into the lab.
Boom!
An intense explosion reverberated inside.
The bullets and lasers fired from inside stalled for a moment.
As the Rift Traces that had blocked the initial wave of attacks slowly faded, Su Muyu activated the Prism Force Field to withstand the following barrage and began to push forward.
The team's Mechanical Units opened fire with a flurry of sounds, bullets, and laser beams cutting through the air, instantly destroying the frontmost dozen mechanical guards.
Next,
Mechanical Tiger Anka led the charge, activating the Fiery Flame Shield and performing a City-breaking Charge, bursting forth like a Vajra Beast at the forefront, enduring the barrage and sending all mechanical units and Mechanical Demons along the path flying.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
One by one, mechanical guards were sent flying by the City-breaking Charge, smashing against the walls and breaking into pieces.
The rest of the Mechanical Units followed, continuing to fire from behind Su Muyu's Prism Force Field, suppressing the enemy's firepower.
After the first wave of attack, Lu Heng's side gained the upper hand.
Next, three Commander Level Demons emerged from the laboratory with a dozen Demon subordinates rushing forward.
One of them, the Wing Demon Commander, flapping its wings, clad in Mechanical Battle Armor, wielding a Mechanical Spear, flew up and hurled a Thunder Spear at Su Muyu.
At that moment, Su Muyu's Prism Force Field had run out.
She immediately unfolded her Sky Vault Lord Wings, shielding herself in front.
With a thunderous crash, the Thunder Spear collided with the Sky Vault Wings, sending a circle of frenzied thunder around.
Su Muyu's wings protected the Mechanical Units behind from the Thunder Spear, then she flapped her Energy Wings and flew up, directing the Divine Hawk Eagle to charge forward, blocking the Wing Demon Commander from launching another attack.
She then raised Mia's Crossbow, firing Flame Arrows, joining the Divine Hawk Eagle in the assault on the Wing Demon Commander.
With Lin Zeyu providing sniper cover from behind, it took less than three minutes to bring down the Wing Demon Commander from the air.
On the other side,
Lu Heng burst forth at Extreme Speed along the ground, drawing out the Aurora Blade and streaking through the ranks of Demons, each swing bisecting Demons cleanly.
One of the Demon Commanders, a giant worm modified with a tank, was covered in thick armor, resembling a flesh mountain tank.
Lu Heng swung twice, carving two large gashes in the armor, but the armor was too thick, and the giant worm Commander remained unharmed.
The giant worm Commander issued an angry shriek and sprayed a large amount of deadly venom, pouring down like raindrops.
Lu Heng's gaze sharpened as he quickly shouted, "Find cover!"
"I've got it!"
Transformed into the Black Feather Spirit, Yuan Yaoyao looked at the electronic screen before her, the Light Computer system calculating the optimal combat strategy.
Fighting for her was like playing a video game; she controlled the Black Feather Spirit to dash out, activating the Energy Shield to block the deadly venom, and then unleashed two Mechanical Lightsabers, slashing with two beams of ion sword light.
