Luo Bing's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected himself to look so much like a villain.
A message flooded into Luo Bing's mind:
"Godzilla (King of Monsters), height: 85 meters (can grow), tail length: 55 meters (can grow), arm length: 12 meters. Evolution Points can be invested to increase Body Size."
Clearly, that glittering Little Star that had broken free from the experience bar was an Evolution Point.
Luo Bing did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he opened the "Skills" tab.
"Godzilla (King of Monsters), a lethal breath attack formed by gathering its own nuclear energy. The instant-cast attack is called Atomic Breath, while the fully charged breath is called Atomic Annihilation! Evolution Points can be invested to increase the breath's power and unlock new skills."
After reading it all, Luo Bing raised his brows.
"Atomic Annihilation? What a badass name. It can even unlock new skills?"
He muttered to himself, but he was not particularly tempted.
The breath attack's power was already more than enough.
Compared to upgrading skills, Luo Bing wanted to increase Body Size more.
As a professional mecha pilot, Luo Bing knew very well that the most troublesome thing about monsters was neither their strength nor their armor, but their size.
The larger the monster, the harder it was to deal with.
Godzilla was currently 85 meters tall. Compared to Shangang, it was like an oversized doll that only came up to her waist.
If its size could break through 120 meters, Luo Bing would dare to seek out Shangang's whereabouts right now, avenge their blood feud, and ensure that his little sister Luo Yun would no longer have to dwell on it every day!
The third branch, "Evolution," was still locked and could not be viewed.
Luo Bing guessed that this "Evolution" branch was extremely important, though he did not know why it remained locked.
Could it be because he did not have enough Evolution Points?
He only had one. That truly was pitiful.
The description for "Action Duration" was very easy to understand. As long as he invested Evolution Points, the duration Luo Bing could transform into Godzilla would double, from one hour to two.
As for the final Grand Roulette...
After opening it and seeing the dazzling, colorful grid of prizes, Luo Bing immediately closed it again.
As a veteran unlucky player in his previous life, Luo Bing did not dare touch something that tested one's luck.
When he played mobile games, he would not even pull without a guaranteed reward, much less now.
He only had one Little Star Evolution Point. He did not dare gamble on a single pull producing a miracle.
"So... increasing Body Size is still the most urgent need right now!"
Luo Bing made his decision. Without further hesitation, he tossed the Little Star onto "Body Size."
Godzilla's image on the display grew a little taller, though not by much. The most obvious change was its tiny short arms, which had grown considerably this time.
If those tiny arms had previously been more like decorations, only capable of grabbing enemies in desperate close combat—
Then now, after doubling in length, they were enough to become one of Godzilla's standard combat methods!
The thorny dorsal spines on Godzilla's back also changed somewhat on the display. They became more ferocious, and their coverage expanded, protecting more of its back.
Overall, it had been strengthened across the board, though not to an earthshaking extent.
After all, there had only been one Evolution Point. With a few more, the changes would be much greater.
"Godzilla (King of Monsters), height: 90 meters (can grow), tail length: 60 meters (can grow), arm length: 25 meters. Evolution Points can be invested to increase Body Size. Evolution Points: You have none!"
"One Evolution Point can make it grow five meters?"
Luo Bing clenched his fists and flopped onto the bed.
"Xiao Yun, don't worry. Your brother may be pretending to be sick and acting like a useless bum right now."
"But leave our family's blood feud to me. Shangang, I'll settle the score with her sooner or later!"
While Luo Bing lay in his little room, his heart surging with emotion—
The atmosphere on the North Sea battlefield remained tense and nerve-racking.
After Beast King tore Serpent King apart and left, Wulei stood on the coastline with its greatsword in hand, quietly waiting.
Waiting for the outcome—life or death.
The Lin Sisters did not know that Beast King had stood them up. They were currently lying down and sleeping soundly.
The Schrödinger's Beast King lingering in their hearts—would he return or not?—made it impossible for them to lower their greatswords.
The battle-ready Wulei and the heavily damaged Sakura Saber formed two frozen images that told the viewers in front of their televisions that the matter was not over yet.
The tense atmosphere had begun spreading from the moment Beast King vanished.
Only after ten minutes, then twenty minutes, passed without any sign of Beast King did the suffocating tension ease slightly.
Then, when a burst of flute music drifted from the distant sky and a massive sea-blue figure was airlifted in by sixteen large transport planes, the Sakurajima citizens who had been staring at their screens without looking away finally cheered.
"We're safe!"
"The Guardian God sent by the Far East has arrived!"
From now on, Sakura Saber is yours
Dong~~~
When the bell rang, its deep yet far-reaching, instantly recognizable sound was enough to make countless people breathe a sigh of relief.
This was the bell of triumph!
This was the echo of victory!
When the bell rang, the base gates opened wide, and a gray figure strode back into the base with mechanical steps.
It was Wulei, the Far East branch base's large mecha!
Luo Bing followed behind Old Luo with his little sister.
At that moment, most of the people in the branch base, including the Command Center staff, were standing behind Old Luo. It was quite a grand scene.
Luo Bing watched Wulei slowly enter its mecha bay, his expression somewhat emotional.
Wulei had been deployed for quite some time this trip. The journey there and back, along with combat standby, had only consumed fuel.
Fortunately, it had not actually fought a monster this time. It only needed some follow-up maintenance, not repairs.
Mecha maintenance was expensive, but acceptable.
Repairs, however... those were bottomless pits.
Sometimes, dismantling an old mecha to assemble a new one was less troublesome and laborious than repairing a damaged mecha.
However, Luo Bing knew that the real reason he, Old Luo, and the others were all standing here was not Wulei.
Wulei was an old acquaintance, familiar beyond familiarity.
The Lin Sisters were not the sort to put on airs either, and they usually did not care about formalities.
This time, such a grand reception was because the real main event was behind Wulei.
Not long after Wulei entered the base gates, a large sea-blue mecha followed it inside.
The shell of this sea-blue mecha was extremely eye-catching. Compared to the pitch-black Wulei, it looked more like a cool warrior dressed for style.
Its design was also highly mechanical, with sharp, distinct angles that emphasized its form, while the mechanical parts at every joint looked brand new.
In every respect, this sea-blue mecha was more attractive than Wulei by more than a full tier!
The only thing it could not compare to Wulei in was the single pitiful Silver Stripe on its shoulder.
Clearly, this was a brand-new mecha that had just rolled off the production line and had not yet seen many real battles.
"Blue Blood Blade! The first mecha manufactured this year!"
"Height: 82 meters. Speed: 8. Strength: 8. Armor: 7!"
Luo Bing stared deeply at the brand-new mecha, complicated emotions in his eyes.
His gaze shifted toward the blue spear weapon carried on Blue Blood Blade's back.
That enormous blue spear was at least sixty meters long, and the shaft alone was two meters thick!
If it were laid on the ground, it would be a wall two meters high and sixty meters long!
The reason Luo Bing cared so much about that blue spear was because Storm Red's weapon was also a spear of the same size, except its outer paint was red.
"Yeah, Blue Blood Blade!"
Old Luo heard Luo Bing muttering behind him and sighed as well.
"I thought this mecha would stay at one of the bases near the capital to guard the East Sea coastline. I didn't expect Commander Lan to deploy it directly to Sakurajima!"
The stronger the deployed mecha, the more it showed how seriously Commander Lan regarded Sakurajima.
As for the Sakurajima defense line, Commander Lan clearly had the determination to hold it at all costs.
Even if Beast King had already appeared in the waters around Sakurajima.
"Uncle Luo, do you think Blue Blood Blade can fight that King of Monsters?"
After returning to the base and speaking with Old Luo, Luo Bing had been rather stunned.
He had not expected everyone to rate Godzilla's threat level so highly.
They had directly labeled it the King of Monsters!
While that was indeed true, Godzilla had only fought twice so far. More importantly, its size was right there for all to see. It still differed somewhat in appearance from a Beast King-class monster.
All he could say was that the people in the Analysis Department had not been drawing their salaries for nothing. They had immediately seized upon the key point!
It was precisely because of that reality that Luo Bing brought up Godzilla and compared it to Blue Blood Blade.
Old Luo did not hesitate in the slightest. He decisively shook his head.
"It can't be a match. Unless it can perfectly evade that Beast King's Breath, then it might be able to hold out for a while."
"Otherwise, how could it possibly defeat a Beast King one-on-one?"
Luo Bing scratched his head.
"If it's not a match, then with a Beast King threat present, Commander Lan still dares to keep sending troops to Sakurajima?"
Old Luo laughed.
"One-on-one, it definitely isn't a match. But when have we humans ever cared about fair duels with monsters?"
Luo Bing froze.
"One against two? Wulei is already an old mecha that has been in service for years, and it's so clumsy. Can it manage?"
Old Luo's expression turned strange, as though he were holding back laughter.
"Wrong!"
"It's three against one!"
Luo Bing blinked.
"There's a third mecha? Other than Blue Blood Blade, who else did the country send?"
This time, Old Luo said nothing. He merely raised his hand and pointed outside the base gates again.
After Blue Blood Blade entered the base, the gates remained open.
Soon, a convoy made up of dozens of enormous trucks drove in one after another, slowly advancing.
What the trucks carried was the half-destroyed Guardian God of Sakurajima—Sakura Saber!
"Uncle Luo, this is..."
