I manage female characters in all the heavens.

The moment "Maiduo" landed in the center of the platform, the entire platform fell silent.

The silence came so suddenly, like a piece of music that was reaching its climax being abruptly cut off.

Everyone, whether they were hunters checking their equipment, technicians adjusting the gravity body, or named characters like Mark, Ran Bing, and Mo Cheng, were all stunned at the same time.

The figure that landed in the center of the platform was a girl in red who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

She carried a large metal gun, much longer than herself, on her shoulder. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, swaying gently in the wind, and she wore an indescribable expression.

She stood in the center of the platform as if she were the master of the place, seemingly oblivious to the nearly one hundred fully armed hunters surrounding her.

Everyone stared at her with wide eyes and gaping mouths, their brains collectively going blank for a moment.

A human being.

Without using any flight equipment or any apparent power source, it flew up to the lighthouse thousands of meters high on its own.

This is simply impossible within the known scientific framework of the Lighthouse.

Mark stood at the front of the group. He had been checking the Dawn Gravity Body's wearable system, but the moment he heard the alarm, he was ready for battle.

He had imagined countless possible enemies: Devouring Beasts, out-of-control machines, and rebellious Light and Shadow, but he never thought that a little girl would fall from the sky.

Mark's pupils contracted sharply for a moment, then he quickly regained his composure.

His professionalism as a hunter commander allowed him to recover from the shock more quickly than others.

He had no time to ponder the question of "how she flew up here," because standing before him was an unknown being of unknown origin who had ascended the lighthouse in an extremely awe-inspiring manner.

No matter how harmless she may seem, this behavior itself represents a huge threat!

"Enemy attack—" Mark roared, his voice booming across the platform, "All units, engage!!"

His command jolted everyone awake. The hunters, still in shock, snapped back to reality. Their instincts and years of muscle memory allowed them to react in fractions of a second.

Dozens of guns were raised at the same time!

Various types of automatic rifles, shotguns, electromagnetic rifles, and even several lightweight shoulder-fired missile launchers, their dark muzzles pointing from all directions at the girl in red in the center of the platform.

Without any hesitation, without any unnecessary warnings.

Mark's orders are everything.

The next moment—

A barrage of gunfire erupted!

Countless tongues of fire spewed out from all directions simultaneously, and bullets swept in from all sides like a metal storm, forming an impenetrable barrage!

That's enough firepower to turn an armored vehicle into a sieve in an instant!

The air was torn apart, and the trajectories intertwined in space to form a deadly net, blocking all possible escape routes for the girl from every possible angle.

Then, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget.

The pupils of the girl in red suddenly lit up with golden light!

A pure and dazzling golden light, like two miniature suns, burned in her eye sockets.

The light was not a reflection, nor was it from an external source; it seemed to emanate from the depths of her soul, carrying an almost tangible sense of majesty and oppression.

Chagai was already circling in the air. No one paid attention to the small bird, but the bird circled and looked down at the entire battlefield, transmitting everything on the platform to the girl's eyes.

The trajectory of every bullet was crystal clear, and every slight movement of the finger as each person pulled the trigger was clearly visible.

Suddenly, "Maido" moved.

She didn't retreat or dodge; instead, she wielded the spear with an extremely natural movement.

The visibly heavy metal spear seemed weightless in her hands, like a awakened silver dragon, drawing perfect arcs in the air and unleashing an impenetrable barrage of spear shadows.

At that moment, everyone had the illusion that dozens or even hundreds of guns appeared around the girl at the same time, dancing and weaving together to form a silver-white, seamless wall!

Ding ding ding ding—!

The sound of metal colliding with metal was so dense that it was almost impossible to distinguish individual impacts; they merged into a long, piercing shriek.

The bullets that were fired at the girl from all directions were deflected and even bounced back when they hit the silver-white wall of gun shadows around her!

Some bullets were ricocheted into the sky, while others were precisely deflected back in the direction they came from, rushing back into the barrel!

Bang bang bang bang!

A series of explosions, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal shattering, came simultaneously from all directions of the platform!

Someone's automatic rifle was hit by a ricocheting bullet, and the barrel instantly shattered.

The electromagnetic rifle in someone's hand was pierced through its energy core by a stray bullet, billowing thick smoke.

From the moment the first bullet leaves the barrel to the moment the last bullet is deflected, it takes only three or four seconds.

The gunfire abruptly ceased, and dozens of guns fell to the ground with a clatter, accompanied by the cries of the hunters.

The entire platform fell into a deathly silence.

On the platform, dozens of hunters were shocked. Apart from the few gravity machines that hadn't been fired yet, none of the others had a usable weapon.

In the center of the platform, the girl in red was still standing in the same spot, her feet hadn't even moved!

The large gun in her hand slowly lowered, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground, with a few residual red arcs of electricity still dancing on its body.

She turned her head slightly, her golden eyes sweeping over the dumbfounded hunters on the platform, a subtle smile playing on her lips.

"Who else?" she asked.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was unusually clear on the deathly silent platform, as if she were speaking directly into the ears of each hunter.

No one answered her; everyone was stunned.

Shaking her head, "Maido" slowly raised her right hand holding the gun and gently shoved the butt of the gun into the ground.

clang--

A crisp, loud metallic clang echoed across the deathly silent platform.

Immediately afterwards, a power that no one could comprehend erupted from the girl's body!

That wasn't wind, fire, or water.

It was a kind of... boundless majesty that only living beings could perceive!

Under her conscious guidance, the enormous life essence of "Maido" surged out like a river bursting its banks, roaring and churning, transforming into a visible golden shockwave that spread outwards in all directions from her center!

The shockwave was incredibly fast, giving no one any time to react!

The first to be affected were the hunters closest to her. Before they could even utter a sound, their feet left the ground and they were sent flying backward!

Next up are the second row, then the third row!

The shockwave surged forward like a tidal wave, knocking nearly a hundred hunters on the platform away one after another like dominoes!

Some people tumbled several times in mid-air and crashed heavily to the ground; some hit the boxes or walls behind them with a dull thud; and some spun in the air and fell to the edge of the platform.

Even those heavy gravity-body mechs, propelled by the shockwave, tipped over and retreated like toys, leaving behind a screeching sound and deep scratches on the ground.

In an instant, the central area of ​​the entire platform was completely cleared away!

Within a radius of several meters, apart from "Maido" leaning on her long spear, there was no one else standing.

The hunters lay scattered in various corners of the platform, some clutching their chests and gasping for breath, some struggling to get up but their limbs were weak, and some had already fainted.

Their faces were filled with fear, a deep-seated fear of the unknown forces.

The aura emanating from that person was grand and vast, like that of a god, and had completely destroyed their will to resist.

That wasn't an enemy that could be defeated by sheer numbers; it was a dimensional crushing defeat that left everyone in despair.

"Maido" stood in the center of the platform, her golden eyes slowly sweeping across the entire arena, exuding majesty and domineering presence.

A trace of demonic intent, combined with a hint of the Netherworld Emperor's divinity, transformed into an invisible pressure that spread out, enveloping the Lighthouse and making everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Everywhere around the lighthouse, there was utter silence.

The images transmitted in real time on the holographic screen shocked and terrified everyone who saw them.

Jingnan braced his hands on the control panel, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.

Her pupils trembled slightly in their sockets, and her lips were pressed into a straight line.

Nearly a hundred fully armed hunters, all of whom were the elite of the Lighthouse, were taken down in a matter of seconds.

She saw the girl in red standing in the center of the platform, her golden eyes scanning the entire area like a god looking down upon his territory.

She sensed something from that girl, something she couldn't describe in words but could clearly feel even through the screen.

A sense of oppression.

That aura even permeated the screen, making the air in her lungs feel heavy.

Behind her, several operators were slumped in their chairs, their faces as pale as paper, unable to even stand up.

Not only her, but everyone in the entire lighthouse felt short of breath at that moment, and no one could make a sound except for the sirens still blaring.

Just as everyone was stunned into immobility by that oppressive aura—

boom--!!!

The silence was suddenly shattered by the roar of an engine!

At the edge of the platform, a black and red gravity object, overturned by the shockwave, suddenly bounced up from the ground!

It's Mark's Dawn!

Its engine was instantly overclocked, and the flames spewing from the nozzles changed from pale blue to dazzling incandescent white, emitting a deafening roar!

It's Mark!

He finally completed the activation procedure of the gravity body and overcame the terrifying pressure that permeated the platform, forcibly taking action!

The engines roared and the thrusters bellowed.

The hydraulic systems of the two robotic arms emitted a low, charging sound, while the clenched fists made a harsh metallic scraping sound.

Then, without any hesitation, without any unnecessary movements—

Engine roars to life!

At the same time, the Dawn's back nozzles spewed out flames at maximum power, propelling the several-ton steel giant straight towards the red-clad girl in the center of the platform like a cannonball.
