Captain, your ship has exploded again.

"Yurin, respond if you hear me, we need fire support!"

Asuka called out impatiently, trying to contact the outside world to eliminate the powerful enemy, Unicron.

"Don't waste your time. You have no idea how far we've dug into the core area. Even if we've managed to get the communication through, with the capabilities of our main gun, it's more like it's just charging Unicron."

Asuka's Unit-02 was quite agile, but unfortunately, the awakened Unicron was gradually replacing the 'inferior metal' that the Walkers were filling with, using the extracted energy.

Because Unit 2 needs to ensure that it remains in the enemy's core area, which is not only a vital point for the enemy, Unit 2 can also provide the fleet with coordinates after contacting the outside world. However, the difference in life level between the two is too great, and Unit 2's normal attacks are simply unable to destroy the converted metal.

Fortunately, even though Unicron now has abundant energy, the transformation of matter cannot be completed in an instant. This is not only because the atomic number of the material elements used by the Walkers is very different from the ones they originally used, but also because the Walkers, without blueprints to refer to, filled the gaps with their understanding of robot structures.

This prevents the Cosmic Emperor from using existing energy nodes or channels to directly transform the body on a large scale. Therefore, the transformation process can only begin from the core, repairing himself little by little through energy penetration.

"Damn it! That bastard just shoved all sorts of things into my body, using cheap materials, and what the hell is this guy doing, throttling the energy output and then installing an energy shock protection module?!"

The angry mechanical voice of the Cosmic Emperor echoed throughout his body.

As for his opponents, Zhang Xun and Asuka were pleased that their opponent had also suffered a setback.

Because the Walkers lacked efficient matter-to-energy technology (which was inefficient for Unicron), their originally simple internal structure was turned into something resembling a maze, further compounded by Quintessa's subsequent haphazard alterations.

When the Cosmic Emperor tried to rapidly convert energy by forcefully surging through the energy pipelines, some of the pipelines actually exploded.

The culprits behind all this are either dead or hiding in the shadows, pretending not to know anything.

Asuka patted Zhang Xun's helmet anxiously and said, "Good opportunity, Zhang Xun! Give me some more divine power!"

Zhang Xun, now resembling a skeleton, was looking at Asuka with sunken eyes.

"Even if you slap me to death, I can't squeeze it out anymore. All I have left is my head. With you using it so carelessly, I'll be back to my prime."

Asuka pouted and said, "Tch, what a coward. Are you even a man? If you are, you can't just say no."

Then Asuka picked up the helmet and patted Zhang Xun's bald head, trying to provoke him and squeeze out some more divine power from him.

"Man? I don't even have five limbs anymore, I don't even have a fart below my neck. A man? I'm nothing but an egg."

Asuka's words were so infuriating that Zhang Xun wished he could fly over and bite her.

He had already given all his available divine power to Unit 2. If he hadn't only had one head, and had slightly overdrawn his life force, he might have died prematurely. With his volatile temper, he could never have tolerated her mockery.

Asuka pilots Unit-02 to dodge attacks, using the vibrating saber mounted under her arm to block enemy attacks. However, as space is gradually being compressed, it is only a matter of time before Unit-02 is destroyed.

"Didn't you think about asking Yi Jiu? Didn't she lend you energy before? Ask her for some more. It's a debt anyway, what difference does it make if you have one more or one less?"

"Damn, do you think I didn't ask? They just gave me two words, 'That's all.'"

Asuka glanced over and asked, "What do you mean?"

Asuka looked at Zhang Xun with a surprised expression, as if she would make Zhang Xun understand why a football is called a football if he didn't give her a reasonable explanation.

Zhang Xun rolled his eyes at this and said nonchalantly, "What else could it mean? He's out of energy, so don't kick me yet! Now that Yi Jiu has replied to me, he hasn't paid any more attention to me. If I had to give an explanation, I would only have a rough guess."

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me how you can get divine power. I don't want to know your guesses."

One of the arms of Unit 2 was severed by the Cosmic Emperor. Without Zhang Xun's divine power to support it, Unit 2's decline was already evident.

"Ouch! Damn it, that hurts! You metal head!"

After crying out in pain, Asuka glared fiercely at Zhang Xun and said, "What are you daydreaming about? Tell me the method now."

“Since Memory can provide me with energy, you should be able to as well. Theoretically speaking, as long as I have energy, I can convert it into divine power.”

Zhang Xun resisted the urge to tell Asuka his guess, and instead shared the pattern he had observed with her.

"Very good, you've finally said something useful. Now open your mouth!"

Upon hearing Asuka's words, Zhang Xun opened his mouth in confusion, intending to ask her what she wanted to do.

Despite the excruciating pain, Asuka grabbed Zhang Xun's transparent helmet with her twitching hand and forcibly pulled him in front of her.

Then, to Zhang Xun's astonishment, Asuka, while operating Unit 2, forcefully kissed Zhang Xun, who only had one head.

Just as Zhang Xun was about to turn his head and question Asuka, a bloody smell even stronger than LCL rushed into his mouth. Along with this stronger bloody smell, Zhang Xun felt a huge and impure energy surge directly into his mouth.

Understanding what the other party wanted to do, Zhang Xun had no choice but to immediately begin converting these energies, while simultaneously returning a wisp of pure divine power to Asuka.

While Asuka was nibbling on Zhang Xun's head, she also had to focus on controlling Unit 2 in combat. Zhang Xun was truly at a loss with this timid girl who did whatever she wanted.

However, he also figured out the reason: Unit 2 has the characteristic of energy adjustment, and these data were recorded by Zhang Xun when he checked the team's combat strength when Zhao Wanyang submitted Unit 2.

As the captain, he naturally needs to have a thorough understanding of the combat capabilities of his subordinates; otherwise, if a real situation arises, he wouldn't know who to send.

But this very understanding left Zhang Xun speechless.

The reason is simple: while the energy adjustment of Unit 2 cannot affect the pilot under normal circumstances, when the EVA unit goes berserk, its gene activity increases and the synchronization rate exceeds a certain level, allowing the pilot to achieve complete fusion with the unit.

Of course, Zhao Wanyang would not allow the phenomenon in the story, where Unit-01, after achieving 400% synchronization, caused the mecha to merge the pilot into the LCL liquid to occur.

The safety lock prevents the EVA unit from directly transferring energy to the pilot's body through the LCL fluid. In addition, the safety mechanism of the pilot suit ensures that even if the contact area becomes liquefied and the lower part of the pilot suit becomes the transfer station, the pilot can still keep half of their body alive.

In any case, as long as the head remains active before rescue, it's just a matter of the severity of the injury.

But even with such a protective measure, Asuka, that idiot, managed to do it. The act of biting someone might be because she had never kissed anyone before, or it might have been due to the panic during the battle.

What was originally just a simple act of inserting a hand into Zhang Xun's mouth turned into a mouth-to-mouth encounter. What left Zhang Xun speechless was that, because Asuka's actions were too reckless, both of their lips were cut.

Soon, under Asuka's forced feeding, Zhang Xun transferred a lot of divine power to her. Because Zhang Xun was in a lot of discomfort, he began to twist violently after transferring a certain amount of divine power, which forced Asuka to release him.

"What are you doing? Can't you see I'm fighting? I'm already feeling awkward enough as it is, so don't make things worse."

If Asuka were seen by others at this moment, they would definitely ask her with concern, because her face was as red as if she had a high fever.

"It's not making a sound, is it? Fourth stage driving test, the handwriting is a bit messy, is it from the military?"

Just as Asuka took a moment to look over, Zhang Xun's head, which was originally somewhat thin, was now swollen.

Seeing Zhang Xun's current appearance, Asuka was stunned for a moment. If she hadn't had plenty of divine power, she might have had another leg cut off.

Without a physical body, Zhang Xun's condition couldn't possibly be caused by congestion or edema. The only explanation is that Asuka's energy supply to Zhang Xun was problematic.

Asuka, who is very perceptive in combat, naturally understands that the culprit behind all this is the energy she transmitted. But so what? Anyway, the current battle needs Zhang Xun. So what if he's a little swollen? He's not a girl. What does it have to do with a man if he cares about his appearance?

Just as Asuka was thinking, Zhang Xun, who had distanced himself from her, realized that his field of vision was impaired. Having suffered several injuries, he knew that this was due to swelling of his eyelids.

Just as he was pondering why he was swollen, Asuka started to bite him again.

"Stop! Stop! Don't bite me! EVA's energy balance doesn't necessarily require kissing. You can cut your hand and put it in my mouth, it'll be the same!"

As for telling Asuka to cut her finger and then stick it into her nostril, Zhang Xun wouldn't be foolish enough to tell her that.

Unfortunately, sometimes there isn't just one smart person. Asuka, being a top student, couldn't possibly not understand after being enlightened.

She cut two of her fingers, then inserted them into Zhang Xun's nostrils through his horrified eyes, simultaneously tearing his nasal cavity with her own fingers.

Energy can only be transferred when there is liquid contact between two people, which is why Asuka had to break their lips.

"Damn it! You're not going to change your hair!"

Asuka, her face even redder, turned Zhang Xun's head to the other side and said, "Shut up, don't force me to use the bowling method on you!"

"..."

Oh dear, I forgot about this finger technique.
