This is unscientific!

This video was likely filmed from a drone, showing over fifty Mechas of various types forming an arc-shaped assault formation as they raced across a vast, barren plain.
Behind them trailed a convoy of armored personnel carriers, logistics vehicles, and other support vehicles, while multiple drones circled overhead—a scene that suggested they were preparing for a major battle.
Yet the target of this entire battalion-sized deployment was... just one person?
Strictly speaking, it was a 2-meter-tall humanoid Mecha, not a standard model but customized with flashy modifications. It resembled a figure in a cloak, emitting a dim blue glow, its face concealed behind a full-enclosure visor.
Apart from the slender iron staff it carried, the Mecha showed no other armaments. Its minimalist design was barely more sophisticated than a training Mecha.
Yet both the Defense Force's warlike posture and the numerous warning and alert messages displayed on the screen suggested this target might be more trouble than it looked...
Code Name: Thunder Emperor Affiliation: Funeral Rangers Abilities: Unknown Mech Performance: Unknown Criminal Record: 1,145 offenses Total Bounty: 200 million Universal Currency (Rank 5 overall)
Xiao Bai stared at the information, dumbfounded.
"What kind of Super Wanted Criminal is this? Why have I never seen him online before?"
"Is he actually trying to take on an entire armored battalion alone?"
Just as the words left his lips, the Defense Force opened fire first. Standard shells, missiles, and rockets roared into the sky, trailing flames and white smoke as they wove a dense curtain of fire, completely surrounding the Super Wanted Criminal.
But the target merely stopped calmly, shifting the staff slung across his back into his right hand. With a casual flourish, he unleashed a flurry of staff strikes.
An electromagnetic barrier materialized before him, and the swarming attacks froze mid-air, then detonated into dazzling fireworks.
Not a single projectile even touched his barrier.
"This... this isn't possible!"
"Even if that's some kind of electromagnetic interference device, how could it possibly affect artillery shells?"
Xiao Bai muttered incredulously, then watched as the camera angle shifted to the Defense Force. The mecha had slowed their advance and spread out, their tactics shifting from heavy firepower to lighter autocannons. Now, dozens of glowing tracer rounds formed metallic fire trails, completely shrouding the scientifically impossible wanted criminal in smoke and dust.
Only after firing until the autocannon's magazine was completely depleted did the red-hot barrel slowly stop its rotation, waiting for the smoke to dissipate.
"Can we take him out like this?" Xiao Bai asked, voicing the question on the minds of all the Mecha Warriors present.
Then they watched as a lean figure slowly emerged from the smoke, a staff in hand, its ends still crackling with residual golden sparks. Behind him lay a sea of spent shells, nearly covering the entire battlefield.
He was completely unharmed...
The commander of the Defense Force— a figure who had been crouched over a self-operating mecha since the battle began—rose to his full height. With a raised left hand, he signaled his subordinates to retreat temporarily. Then, with a flick of his right hand, he revealed a slender Miao Saber.
He wore only power armor, its pitch-black finish exuding a menacing aura. Over a hundred red skulls were painted on his shoulders, each representing a formidable enemy he had slain in battle.
His mecha was visibly more advanced than the opponent's, equipped with a variety of weapons and systems. The cooling vents along its flanks and back even pulsed rhythmically, as if breathing.
"Is this one of the elite warriors of the Defense Force?" Xiao Bai wondered. "His mecha... could it be alive? Is this the legendary Biological Mecha?"
As he watched, the officer suddenly shed all his weapons and equipment. He abandoned the rockets on his shoulders and discarded his boltgun, leaving the once futuristic and mysterious mecha completely stripped down, save for the long saber in his hand.
The entire mech began emitting a dim red glow. Spikes and biomass carapace extended from his shoulders, back, and knees, while his lower jaw split open like a beast baring its teeth, emitting a deep, guttural roar.
In the next instant, he propelled himself forward with a fierce kick, transforming into a pitch-black arrow that moved so fast, even the cameras couldn't capture it as he lunged at the wanted criminal.
The two clashed in a blur of motion, their speed a blur of silver sabers carving arcs through the air, intertwining with golden arcs of electricity to form a blossoming floral pattern.
If Xiao Bai could have opened his mouth, his jaw would have dropped in astonishment.
"What on earth is this? Nobody told me High-Tier Mecha Warriors fought like this!"
He had never witnessed a battle bet ween high-tier mecha warriors. His imagination had conjured images of two opponents standing still, relying on superior weaponry, armor thickness, and mech performance to blast each other into submission, with victory going to whoever had the higher stats.
This wasn't due to a lack of imagination, but rather because the Federation government, the Me cha Alliance, and even the curriculum at the Mecha Academy all taught this simplified model of combat. Whether it was in textbooks, public demonstrations, or even in movies, the portrayal of warfare remained rooted in conventional modern warfare paradigms.
"So this is what a true high-tier duel looks like? They're moving so fast, the cameras can't even capture their movements..."
"Then... can he win?"
As Xiao Bai spoke, the two rapidly entwined figures finally separated.
The military expert leaped back into his mech and immediately waved his hand, signaling the nearby mechs to begin suppressive fire.
His high-tech biological mecha was in tatters, covered in gruesome wounds that exposed tendon-like organic tissue beneath.
Yet the wanted criminal remained unscathed. His minimalist mecha showed not a single scratch, save for a few shallow saber marks on the staff's tip.
Faced with another barrage of hot weapon fire, he abandoned his electromagnetic barrier. Instead, he raised his iron staff high, its tip crackling with golden lightning.
Then, dropping to one knee as if performing some sacred ritual, he thrust the electrified staff into the ground.
In that instant, brilliant bolts of lightning descended from the heavens like divine retribution, striking the opposing mecha.
The dazzling brilliance of the converging lightning erased all detail from the scene, leaving only a blinding white. The final frame captured a breathtaking spectacle: a waterfall of thunderous lightning cascading from the sky.
At that moment, Xiao Bai finally understood why the enemy's code name was "Thunder Emperor" rather than something like "Electric Eel"...
All the lingering questions from his earlier exploration of the base were answered. He now understood the origin of those charred, coal-like mecha scattered across the battlefield.
