[Crimson Capital, Sea Music Hall, Aurora Aria]
Crack!
Ice shards fell onto Caroline's mech armor, making a crisp, shattering sound.
She raised her hand and casually brushed her shoulder. A faint glow appeared on the surface of the silver-white armor, and the remaining ice chips instantly turned into tiny particles and dissipated.
The strands of hair, which had been frozen by the Star Frost Faction emissaries and still held a lingering chill, hung by her cheek. She gently brushed them away with her fingertip.
The tips of her green cat ears trembled slightly, and Caroline turned her head to look around.
She saw several Star Frost Faction emissaries frozen in place, unable to move.
Parts of their bodies showed faint green, pixelated light particles, strange, like a broken screen.
Although these people tried hard to break free from this state, they found their bodies completely out of control, only able to watch as their forms were gradually 'data-fied.'
Seeing this scene, the bullet screen on the dimensional screen began to scroll.
'Whoa, what did Caroline do? How did she take out all the enemies in a blink of an eye?'
'Those data-fied bodies don't look normal. It must be some kind of ability of Caroline.'
'I feel like Caroline is serious now. Before, she mainly played a support role and rarely took action herself.'
'Bodies turning directly into pixel blocks, a Starfleet version of "Minecraft," right?'
'Caroline's mech ability is too powerful! I thought she only did support before, but she fights so cleanly!'
Amidst the discussion of the dimensional audience, a new information panel for Caroline appeared next to her in the theatrical version.
[Name: Caroline]
[Level: Level 3 Perfect Awakening]
[Star Core: Heaven's Mechanism Nekomata]
[Star Source: Quantum Ghost]
[Type: Mechanist]
[Effect 1. Consciousness Hacking: Can invade the target's thought network by touching or connecting to other electronic devices, reading surface memories (similar to brain-computer interface cracking).]
[Effect 2. Quantum Calculation: Computing power is exponentially increased, possessing a higher 'overload limit.']
[Effect 3. Data Interference: Can release a large amount of data information in a short time, plunging the enemy's mind into a state of chaos.]
[Second Awakening Effect · Datafication: Can data-fy herself and objects she touches. She can perform rapid displacement through quantitative data lines.]
After reading this data information, the theatrical version briefly showed Caroline's previous battle sequence.
In the screen, Caroline flicked four light-green data daggers from her sleeve.
The four data daggers were not only sci-fi in appearance, but their blades flowed with special, fragmented data streams, clearly indicating their extraordinary nature at a glance.
The strange thing was that the four data daggers Caroline threw did not land on the surrounding enemies but were 'nailed' onto the floor around the stage.
The moment the daggers landed, the stage floor suddenly lit up with light-green 'data anchor points,' quickly and firmly restricting the movement range of the Star Frost Faction emissaries.
In the next second, a massive amount of meaningless information instantly flooded the minds of the surrounding Star Frost Faction emissaries, throwing their thoughts into chaos, and their movements visibly slowed down significantly.
However, Caroline's purpose in throwing these data daggers was not yet complete.
Ding!
As the first data dagger lit up, Caroline's figure suddenly vanished from the spot, leaving only a faint afterimage.
In the next moment, her figure appeared behind the nearest emissary.
The dedicated mech battlesuit on her body suddenly transformed, condensing a light-green energy blade that lightly slashed across the opponent's chest.
Zzzt!
Caroline's energy blade effortlessly cut through the ice barrier on the opponent's chest, leaving a neither deep nor shallow scratch.
The strange thing was that no blood flowed from the wound that appeared.
The wound was visibly 'contaminated,' beginning to show data modules similar to pixels.
Simultaneously, these pixel-like data modules began to slowly spread from the chest wound to the emissary's entire body.
Without any pause, Caroline's figure vanished from the spot again.
Then, her figure continuously shifted between the four data daggers, turning into streaks of silver-white 'flashes.'
Each time the silver-white light of a data dagger lit up, it signified that Caroline had performed a 'teleport.'
And silver-white was the unique color of quantum data during high-speed transport.
Watching the expressionless but ghost-like Caroline in the screen.
The dimensional audience on Site 13 didn't know the maximum teleportation distance of her data daggers.
But this kind of instantaneous ability, with an almost zero-frame start-up, combined with Caroline's own super computing power and the 'overload mode' unique to the Mechanist type.
It made it so that a mere few ordinary Level 2 and Level 3 Star Frost Faction emissaries couldn't pose much trouble for her.
After easily dealing with these troublesome guys, Caroline waved her hand, and the four data daggers instantly flew back into her grasp.
After storing these data daggers into a special mech device on her arm, Caroline's mech armor also began to normalize, eventually condensing into a silver-white rhombus crystal block on her chest.
She walked expressionlessly to the nearest VIP seat and picked up the tactical tablet resting on it.
The screen light reflected in her eyes, and her fingers slid quickly across the screen.
In the next second, a torrent of quantum data, like a waterfall, began to scroll rapidly across the screen.
Yet, facing this dizzying data, Caroline seemed to find it entirely uncluttered, quickly organizing the latest data within the 'Sea Music Hall: Aurora Aria.'
This included, but was not limited to: surveillance footage of the entire music hall, starlight fluctuation detection, the status of the data anchor points, and more.
At this point, the theatrical version's camera began to continuously pan, allowing the dimensional audience on Site 13 to clearly see the twelve hidden data daggers Caroline had placed in advance within the music hall.
These data daggers were scattered at the corners of the music hall's corridors, in the shadows of chandeliers, on the frames of emergency exits, etc.
It could be said that the entire Sea Music Hall: Aurora Aria was within Caroline's monitoring range.
Anyone who stepped inside would not only be observed by Caroline immediately, but she could also appear before the enemy instantly.
Coupled with Tendo, who had voluntarily entered the Glaze Dream at this moment.
No matter how you looked at it, the current Aurora Aria was a solid fortress.
There was no possibility of the enemy breaching it, neither in reality nor in the dream.
Therefore, the only place where Jing Liuli's breakthrough ceremony could potentially go wrong... was with Liuli herself.
Thinking of this, Caroline looked up at Jing Liuli at the center of the stage.
And at this moment, Jing Liuli's brow subtly furrowed, perhaps dreaming of something.
