From the moment the Minerva exploded, the entire battlefield seemed to pause for a moment!
The attacking orvens still fired their weapons at their human opponents.
The defending human assets fought back just as hard.
However, both sides seemed to pull back on their aggression a bit and refrained from making any overly risky moves as they began to divert a bit of their attention to the breakthrough taking place in the rear of human lines.
The Minerva clearly underwent a mysterious transformation that caused her to become stronger and more solid than ever.
Not only that, the living mech gained an even stronger imprint of her increasingly more powerful pilot!
Every human celebrated this phenomenon because it meant that the pilot had finally crossed a major junction in her career!
