Multiple beam attacks were skillfully dodged under Felix's masterful control, yet even such evasive maneuvers couldn't completely avoid all incoming fire.
Faced with this situation, Felix made a calculated decision.
The Meteor unit was directly abandoned!
After detaching from the Meteor, the Genesis Gundam's mobility increased further.
Its evasion capabilities reached new heights.
However, the abandoned Meteor naturally didn't share the Genesis Gundam's good fortune.
Multiple attacks struck the Meteor unit.
The previously intact Meteor instantly disintegrated and exploded under the beam attacks.
The brilliant flash of the explosion completely obscured the Genesis Gundam.
"What's the situation?"
Watching the explosion, a Strike Dagger pilot muttered nervously.
A voice came through the speakers.
"Don't let your guard down! This guy won't die that easily!"
"I know-"
As the pilot responded to the warning, before he could finish his sentence, a beam shot out from the explosion and pierced through the Strike Dagger he was piloting!
At the moment of that explosion, several other Strike Daggers also erupted in flames.
"Everyone stay alert!"
A squad leader urgently reminded through communications.
While speaking, he controlled his Strike Dagger to fire forward.
Multiple beams shot directly toward the glowing explosion cloud.
Within the glowing cloud, the Genesis Gundam raised its shield for defense, its aesthetically pleasing frame maneuvering through this airspace.
Its agile and sophisticated movements made the Genesis Gundam resemble a butterfly dancing in the air - beautiful and awe-inspiring.
Cockpit
Compared to the Genesis Gundam's graceful dance, Felix was clearly not having an easy time.
With his mind highly focused, Felix had already entered burst mode. Even in this state, his expression remained extremely tense.
There was no possibility of relaxation whatsoever.
While performing evasive maneuvers, Felix found a moment to press command buttons.
The Genesis Gundam placed its beam rifle on the rear skirt armor and drew the beam saber from its waist.
Wielding the beam saber, the Genesis Gundam sliced through multiple beams that were about to strike its body.
As the explosion's glow dissipated, the sight of the Genesis Gundam remaining completely undamaged by any hits...
Unbelievable exclamations erupted through the Strike Dagger pilots' communications.
"Bastard! Is this guy even human?"
"Are these maneuvers something a human can perform?"
"How many hands does he actually have?"
"Can his brain really calculate all of this?"
One incredulous voice after another sounded.
Yet the pace of everyone's attacks showed no signs of slowing down.
Hundreds of beams continued charging toward the Genesis Gundam from multiple directions.
Outside the encirclement
After destroying a Strike Dagger with his MS, Heine looked toward the Genesis Gundam.
Taking in the entire scene, Heine murmured with shocked expression.
"The captain is becoming less and less human!"
After saying this, Heine controlled his MS to evade toward the left rear.
Raising his beam rifle, he fired a single shot.
The Strike Dagger attempting a sneak attack instantly exploded.
Through communications
Doulens' voice came through.
"Heine, should we go support the captain?"
Hearing this, Heine observed the situation the captain was facing and replied with clear self-awareness.
"Given the circumstances the captain is currently facing, we'd only be holding him back if we went over."
As he spoke, Heine manipulated his MS to draw its Beam Saber.
The MS surged forward, charging toward a Strike Dagger and delivering a downward slash.
The Strike Dagger, unable to raise its shield in time to block, was cleaved apart and exploded.
The Genesis Gundam, under Felix's control, continued to evade.
Inside the cockpit
While operating the controls, Felix pondered how to counterattack.
As he thought, the Genesis Gundam raised its shield to block beams from one direction while maneuvering to dodge attacks from other angles.
It avoided the other dangerous assaults.
After evading, Felix's fingers worked the controls, and the Genesis Gundam re-sheathed the Beam Saber at its waist.
The Beam Rifle on the rear skirt armor was picked up again.
His finger pulled the trigger, and two beams shot out.
Two bursts of explosive light flared up.
Aboard the flagship of the Earth Alliance Forces fleet
Landon watched the Genesis Gundam's counterattack on the screen, his expression shocked and disbelieving as he exclaimed.
"In this situation, he can still mount a counterattack?"
After saying this, Landon turned to look at the Commander.
Thurman was just as astonished as Landon.
He simply remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Thurman spoke.
"Transmit these combat footage back to the base."
"Yes!"
In Richard's office
Richard watched the transmitted combat footage, his eyes widening in shock as he muttered to himself.
"Is this guy even human?"
Saying this, Richard re-watched the combat footage.
After viewing it, his astonishment did not diminish in the slightest.
A long while later, Richard performed an operation.
The combat footage was sent to the General Headquarters.
At the Earth Alliance Forces General Headquarters
Williams watched the combat footage sent by Richard, observing the Genesis Gundam on the screen and the large number of Strike Daggers surrounding it.
After a long time, Williams forwarded the combat footage to his superiors.
Once this was done, Williams made a call.
After two beeps, the call connected.
Moonenidy's face appeared on the screen, and his voice came through the speaker.
"Williams, what is it?"
Hearing Moonenidy's inquiry, Williams replied respectfully.
"Sir, please take a look at the materials I sent you."
Moonenidy looked slightly puzzled but then operated the system to review what Williams had sent.
After viewing all the content, Moonenidy's expression turned grave.
"What are your thoughts?"
In response to the question, Williams voiced his idea.
"Sir, I believe we need a method to counter this MS. Relying solely on our current tactics will only continue to increase our casualties."
Moonenidy nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
His gaze fixed on Williams, Moonenidy asked.
"Do you have any ideas for this countermeasure?"
"Sir, there's an ancient saying in the East: 'Learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians.'"
"You mean using Coordinators to deal with this guy?"
Hearing the so-called ancient saying, Moonenidy instantly understood. Looking at Williams, Moonenidy asked for confirmation.
Williams nodded at this, his expression serious as he said.
"Mr. Leader, we cannot use ordinary Coordinators to deal with this individual, otherwise the effect will not be significant."
Moonenidy nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Williams and replied.
"I will arrange for someone to handle this matter."
"Thank you for your approval!"
