For the next stretch of the stage, you will have to move continuously in order to dodge the Degids which arrive in huge numbers from both sides of the screen.  If you can lure a series high enough to swing back down, you can let them all merge and destroy them in one fell swoop while you fire up from beneath.  Just be sure to keep your eye on either side of your ship for even more Degids that will arrive while you are setting up your strike on the existing Degids. This section will be easier with special weapon 0 or 3, but Degids are supported by other enemies whose type depends on your aggression level which can make surviving this section quite a challenge.

The ability for Erasers to end a wave of predefined enemies prematurely may come very handy here if you managed to release both of them from icons. In this section, there are 2 waves of blue Degids and 2 waves of Yellow degids. When you see both types of Degids to appear onscreen, use the eraser. This will provide a section free of them for a half of this section after that they return which is a good time to use the other Eraser.

If you're not confident enough and don't have any enemy erasers onscreen, you can also retreat to the extreme left or right side of the screen. That way Degids pose no threat and you only have to worry about the other attacks. Beware that there's a chance that blue Teruzas or other enemies may (depends on your aggression level) join in and can destroy your ship without warning. If lots of enemies which won't threaten you in that position (like purple Umbers) appear, stop shooting since this makes sure that  same enemies appear for extended periods of time, increasing your chance of survival.
