Bluewater 457's body turned red because it was overloaded. Steam mixed with fire energy went up like a pressure cooker.
When Bluewater 457 heard Adam's words, he quickly moved back without any hesitation, passing the core position of the battle to Adam and then retreated to a safe place to cool down his Vital Generator.
The other Titans fought hard against the giant blades formed by the Metal Eaters. Each defensive Titan was left with many scars.
Windflame 222 shouted, "Mithril kid, don't overdo it!"
Adam didn't say anything. He closed all other energy circuits in his body. His mithril body, along with the Vital Generator, quickly transformed, leaving only the construction of the electromagnetic conversion magic array. The Original Flames fell into the magic array and released a huge amount of energy, giving new life to the nearly collapsing force field.
"Give me the authority to control your Flames," Adam's voice entered the Titans' ears through the magnetic field.
Bluewater 457 calculated the time very precisely. He knew they could hold for at least three minutes. This was also why, besides racial trust, Windflame 222 chose to believe in a newcomer who had never been on the battlefield.
Now, seeing that Adam's actions were effective, he was very happy, especially since he was the one who introduced Adam to this team.
"Now it's up to you. As long as you can maintain the force field for five more minutes, we can cool down the Vital Generator and take down these invaders!" Windflame 222 said, letting his Flames get under Adam's control, and the other Titans did the same.
After receiving support from other powerful sources, ten stable currents shot out from Adam's body, connecting to ten Titans. Then, eleven Flames acted as energy nodes, creating a strong magnetic field within a radius of 2.5 kilometers, with Adam at the center
All the leaking energy was mobilized, and a counter-attack barrier hit the Metal Eaters hard as they tried to take advantage of the situation.
Then, Adam shot electrons on other Titans' bodies through a current. Instead of rudely taking control of their bodies, Adam manipulated the free electrons in the metal atoms inside them, thus accelerating the healing and the cooling of their Vital Generators.
This was a powerful way of support that the Titans had never imagined. It was even better than the water energy emitted by Bluewater 457, as it directly slowed down the movement of electrons at the atomic level, and therefore it sped up the cooling by ten times.
Feeling the accelerated cooling, the Titans kept quiet. They took out energy blocks, and threw them into the Vital Generators.
This saved a lot of time for the Titans. When the Vital Generators were overloaded, they couldn't replenish energy because it could cause an explosion. This was also why Windflame 222 asked Adam to hold on for five minutes.
"Good job, mithril kid; just hold on a bit longer and watch out for those Metal Eaters, they are coming!"
Before Windflame 222 could finish his warning, the Metal Eaters regrouped and launched another charge.
As Adam took control and altered the force field, the Metal Eaters had time to regroup. The defense force field, which should have collapsed, stabilized once again.
Unlike the Titans, Metal Eaters could absorb stray energy from the space around them. Though not very efficient---less than one-tenth of a high-grade energy block---it was crucial for endurance in continuous combat. They instinctively maximized this advantage, giving the Titans no time to rest.
The Metal Eaters arranged themselves in the sky, forming an energy circuit with different individual arrangements. The power of each individual converged to the central leader, transformed, and then re-entered each individual. They hovered in the air like a moving magic array.
Then a barrage of venom missiles and corrosive attacks came down. At the same time, the Metal Eaters constantly changed formations, their bodies forming a spiral structure similar to a cannon barrel. Invisible yet substantial energy collided with the magnetic field; the energy twisted and spread in different directions, trying to tear apart the defense.
After a few seconds of resistance, Adam knew that even with the energy of ten Titans, he couldn't withstand the attack of more than five hundred Metal Eaters. He quickly adjusted the magnetic field's power and plunged towards the ground at high speed during the momentary change, but the missiles, with their tracking capabilities, followed closely after a sharp turn in the air.
Windflame 222 and the other Titans opened their chests wide, exposing the Vital Generators. They frantically took out energy blocks from the compartments in their bodies and threw them into their Flames.
The three defense Titans were the first to complete cooling and recovery. They moved to the front to help Adam withstand this wave of magical energy attacks.
"I need to take control of your bodies!" Adam said urgently. There was no time for explanations; he could only hope the Titans would understand his intention.
The defensive Titans hesitated for a moment, and then they agreed. They allowed Adam's currents to enter and wrap around the Vital Generators. A strong magnetic field was then generated inside their bodies, allowing Adam to control their energy output and movements with just a thought, like large alchemical golems.
The three defensive Titans landed on the ground with a deafening noise. The energy caused the metallic minerals in the ground to flow like water and then rise from the ground. It formed a metal barrier around the magnetic field.
The venom missiles and corrosive attacks hit the barrier, emitting a disturbing dissolving sound, while the attacks violently tore at the metal barrier.
Adam replicated the process with three close-combat Titans, doubling the energy input into the ground. A continuous stream of metal, simply refined, was added to the barrier.
"Hold on a bit longer, we're almost there!" Windflame 222's entire body was red, and the Vital Generator, not yet fully cooled, was pushed to the verge of overload again.
"Bluewater 457!" Adam called out without looking back.
The Titan immediately transformed into a large energy amplifier and was pulled to Adam's side. The gathered power was no longer retained within itself but was entirely injected into Bluewater 457's body. The magnetic field was thus amplified several times. As the first barrier was just torn apart, another layer formed outside it.
Adam adjusted the frequency of the electromagnetic conversion magic array, and thick currents densely spread throughout the magnetic field. Acting through the metal, they worked furiously on the torn barrier.
At this moment, Adam extracted almost all the energy from the six Titans, constructing a surrounding coil in the air.
Metal fragments, suspended under the effect of electromagnetic force, were continuously accelerated by the kinetic energy generated by the massive power.
"Super Railgun!"
The stored energy was released all at once. The metal fragments burned under the Flames and the friction, hurtling towards the Metal Eaters swarm.
At the same time, the electromagnetic field extended and enveloped the Metal Eaters. The strong magnetic field left false messages on the retina and invaded through the weak points of the force field, disrupting the neural signal transmission of the Metal Eaters, causing them to fall into an illusion and lose their sense of direction.
