Luo Bing's own mouth twitched uncontrollably. He hadn't expected himself to look like such a villain.

A message flooded into Luo Bing's mind:

"Godzilla (King of Monsters): Height 85 meters (growable), tail length 55 meters (growable), arm length 12 meters. Evolution Points can be invested to increase Body Size."

Clearly, that sparkling little star that had emerged from the experience bar was an Evolution Point.

Luo Bing didn't make a decision immediately; instead, he tapped on the 'Skills' tab.

"Godzilla (King of Monsters): A finishing move formed by gathering one's own nuclear light energy. The instant-cast attack is called Atomic Breath, and the fully charged breath is called Atomic Annihilation! Evolution Points can be invested to increase the power of the breath and to develop new skills."

After reading everything, Luo Bing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

Atomic Annihilation? That name is truly domineering. And I can even develop new skills?

He muttered to himself, but he wasn't particularly tempted.

The power of the breath was already more than enough.

Compared to upgrading skills, Luo Bing was more interested in increasing his Body Size.

As a professional pilot, Luo Bing knew very well that the most troublesome aspect of a monster wasn't its strength or its armor, but its size.

The larger a monster's body size, the more difficult it was to deal with.

Godzilla's current height was 85 meters; compared to Shangang, he was just a large doll that only reached the waist.

If his height could break through 120 meters, Luo Bing would dare to track down Shangang right now to take his revenge, so that his sister, Luo Yun, would never have to dwell on that blood feud again!

The third branch, 'Evolution,' remained locked and could not be viewed.

Luo Bing guessed that this 'Evolution' branch must be extremely important, though for some reason, it was still locked.

Could it be because he didn't have enough Evolution Points?

Just one point was indeed quite pathetic.

The description for 'Action Duration' was very straightforward: one only needed to invest Evolution Points to double the time Luo Bing could remain in his Godzilla form, increasing it from one hour to two.

As for the final Grand Roulette...

After Luo Bing opened it and glanced at the dazzling, colorful roulette table, he immediately closed it.

As a seasoned "unlucky player" in his past life, Luo Bing didn't dare touch things that tested his luck.

Back then, he wouldn't even touch a mobile game unless it had a guaranteed pity system, let alone now.

He only had one Little Star of Evolution Points, so he didn't dare gamble on a single pull creating a miracle.

"So... the need for Body Size is still the most urgent right now!"

Luo Bing made his decision, and without hesitation, he threw the Little Star directly onto 'Body Size'.

He watched as the Godzilla on the blueprint grew a bit taller, though not by much. The most prominent change was its pair of short arms, which had grown significantly this time.

If the previous short arms were more like decorations, only useful for grabbing enemies during a desperate melee, then now, having doubled in length, they were sufficient to become a standard combat method for Godzilla!

The jagged dorsal spines on the back of the Godzilla on the blueprint also underwent some changes; they became more ferocious and covered a larger area, protecting more of its back.

Overall, it had been strengthened across the board, but not to a earth-shattering degree.

After all, it was only one Evolution Point. If he had more, the changes would be greater.

Godzilla (King of Monsters), Height: 90 meters (growable), Tail Length: 60 meters (growable), Arm Length: 25 meters. Evolution Points can be invested to increase Body Size. Evolution Points: None!

"One Evolution Point can make me grow five meters?"

Luo Bing clenched his fists and flopped onto his bed:

"Xiao Yun, don't worry. Even though your brother is currently pretending to be sick and acting like a bum waiting to die,"

"Just leave our family's blood feud to me. As for Shan Gang, I will settle the score with them sooner or later!"

Just as Luo Bing was lying in his little nest, his heart surging with emotion, the atmosphere on the North Sea battlefield remained tense and heart-wrenching.

After the Beast King tore the Snake King apart and left, Wulei stood on the coastline, clutching his great blade and waiting quietly.

Waiting for the aftermath of life or death.

The Lin sisters did not know that the Beast King had stood them up and was currently fast asleep.

The "Schrödinger's Beast King"—the uncertainty of whether it would return—lingered in their minds, making it hard for them to put down their blades.

Wulei, standing in battle formation, and the heavily damaged Sakura Saber—these two non-static images let the citizens watching in front of their televisions know that the matter was not yet over.

The tense atmosphere had been spreading since the moment the Beast King disappeared.

It wasn't until ten minutes later, then twenty minutes later, when there was still no sign of the Beast King, that the tense, stagnant atmosphere finally eased slightly.

Then, when a flute melody drifted from the distant sky and a massive, sea-blue figure was airlifted in by 16 large transport aircraft, the Sakura Island citizens, who had been watching the screen for so long without taking their eyes off it for a single second, finally erupted into cheers.

"We're safe!"

"The Guardian God sent by the Far East has arrived!"

017. The Sakura Saber is Yours from Now On

Dong~~~

When the bell tolled, that dull yet far-reaching sound, so distinct and recognizable, was enough to let countless people heave a sigh of relief.

This was the bell of triumph!

This was the echo of victory!

As the bell rang, the base gates swung wide, and a gray figure strode back into the base with mechanical steps.

It was none other than the large mecha from the Far East branch base—Wulei!

Luo Bing, with his younger sister in tow, followed behind Old Luo.

At this moment, most of the people in the branch base, including those from the Command Center, were standing behind Old Luo; it was quite the turnout.

Luo Bing watched as Wulei slowly walked into its mecha hangar, his expression filled with emotion.

Wulei had been out for quite some time; the back-and-forth travel and combat standby had consumed nothing but fuel.

Fortunately, it hadn't actually engaged in combat with any monsters during this deployment, so it only required routine maintenance rather than repairs.

Mecha maintenance was costly, but acceptable.

However, repairs... that was a bottomless pit.

Sometimes, it was less of a headache and required less effort to simply dismantle an old mecha to assemble a new one than it was to repair an existing, dilapidated machine.

However, Luo Bing knew that the real reason he, his group, and Old Luo were all standing here wasn't because of Wulei.

Wulei was an old acquaintance, familiar to the point of being mundane.

The Lin Sisters were also people without airs, not ones to be constrained by tedious formalities.

The reason for such a grand reception this time was because the real main event was following behind Wulei.

Not long after Wulei walked through the base gates, a large, sea-blue mecha followed it inside.

The outer shell of this sea-blue mecha was very striking; compared to the jet-black Wulei, it looked more like a cool, stylishly dressed warrior.

Its exterior was also highly mechanical, with sharp, distinct angles that accentuated its design, and the mechanical components at every joint appeared brand new.

In every respect, the aesthetic appeal of this sea-blue mecha was at least a tier higher than Wulei!

The only thing it couldn't compare to Wulei was the pitifully single silver stripe on its shoulder.

Clearly, this was a brand-new mecha that had just rolled off the assembly line and hadn't seen much real combat.

"Blue Blood Blade! The first mecha manufactured this year!"

"Height 82 meters, Speed 8, Strength 8, Armor 7!"

Luo Bing stared at this pristine mecha with deep, complex emotions in his eyes.

His gaze drifted toward the long blue spear strapped to the back of the Blue Blood Blade.

That massive blue spear was at least 60 meters long, and the shaft alone was two meters thick!

If thrown onto the ground, it would essentially be a wall two meters high and sixty meters long!

The reason Luo Bing was so fixated on this giant blue spear was that the weapon of Storm Red was a spear of the same size, though its outer coating was red.

"Yes, the Blue Blood Blade!"

Old Luo heard Luo Bing muttering behind him and sighed with emotion:

"I originally thought this mecha would be kept at one of the bases near the capital to guard the East Sea coastline. I didn't expect Commander Lan to transfer it directly to Sakura Island!"

The more powerful the dispatched mecha, the more importance Commander Lan placed on Sakura Island.

It was clear that he was determined to hold the Sakura Island defensive line at all costs.

Even if a "Beast King" had already appeared in the waters near Sakura Island, he would not hesitate.

"Uncle Luo, do you think the Blue Blood Blade stands a chance against that King of Monsters?"

After returning to the base and discussing it with Old Luo, Luo Bing was somewhat stunned.

He hadn't expected everyone to rate the threat level of Godzilla so highly.

They had defined it directly as the King of Monsters!

While that was indeed the truth, Godzilla had only made two moves, and its most critical factor—its body size—was there for all to see; there was still a visual gap between it and the Beast King level.

It could only be said that the people in the Analysis Department weren't earning their paychecks for nothing; they had gone straight to the point!

Based on this reality, Luo Bing pitted Godzilla against the Blue Blood Blade in his mind.

Regarding this question, Old Luo didn't hesitate at all, shaking his head in a firm rejection:

"It couldn't possibly be a match. Unless it can perfectly evade that Beast King's breath, it might be able to maneuver for a round or two, but that's it."

"Otherwise, how could anyone possibly be a match for a Beast King in a one-on-one fight?"

Luo Bing scratched his head.

"If they aren't a match, then how could Commander Lan dare to continue sending troops to Sakurajima with the threat of a Beast King looming?"

Old Luo laughed.

"One-on-one, they certainly aren't a match, but since when have we humans ever cared about fair, one-on-one duels with monsters?"

Luo Bing was stunned.

"Two-on-one? Wulei is an old mech that's been around for years, and it's so cumbersome. Can it really handle it?"

Old Luo's expression turned strange, as if he were holding back laughter.

"Wrong!"

"It's three-on-one!"

Luo Bing blinked.

"There's a third mech? Besides sending the Blue Blood Blade, who else did the country send over?"

Old Luo didn't speak this time; instead, he reached out and pointed toward the outside of the base gate.

After the Blue Blood Blade had walked into the base, the gate had remained wide open.

Soon, a convoy consisting of dozens of giant trucks filed in, moving slowly forward.

Loaded on the trucks was none other than the half-destroyed Guardian God of Sakurajima, the Sakura Saber!

"Uncle Luo, this is..."
