Pacific Rim Godzilla Beats Up Monsters

"Brother, when are you going to start your training?"

"With your track record of consistently ranking first, as long as nothing else goes wrong, it won't be long before you can pilot a heavy mech... It might even be Mom and Dad's Storm Red!"

"You're faking an illness at home right now, but you haven't forgotten the promise we made, have you?"

As Luo Yun spoke, her expression lost the high spirits she had shown earlier when talking about braised pork.

"We promised to avenge Mom and Dad. Acting like this... it's shameful! Truly shameful!"

Luo Bing helplessly patted Luo Yun's small head.

"I'm not faking it, Xiao Yun. Your brother is suffering from a very serious mental condition right now; I really can't go to training."

"If you made me take the Spiritual Connection Index assessment now, my score wouldn't even be as high as yours."

Luo Bing wouldn't dare go to training even if his life depended on it.

If the secret of him being a transmigrator were to be dug up, it would be even more explosive than the news of a full-scale monster invasion.

No matter how deep the legacy left by his parents was, it wouldn't be enough to protect him!

Luo Yun looked up at her brother.

"Really?"

Luo Bing nodded heavily.

"Really! Truer than real gold!"

In the end, she still felt sorry for her brother. Luo Yun gave a soft acknowledgement, then turned to comfort him.

"It's okay, Brother. You're so sturdy; you'll definitely recover soon."

"Even if you can't pilot a mech in the future, it doesn't matter. You still have me. I will definitely pass the assessment, and I will definitely avenge Mom and Dad!"

Luo Bing gently rubbed his younger sister's hair, his heart aching for her.

A child driven by rage and hatred is difficult to sway from their convictions.

Perhaps this had even been the driving force behind all of Luo Yun's efforts over the years.

Luo Bing couldn't change Luo Yun's perspective for the time being.

All he could do was try his best to ensure that Luo Yun wouldn't pass the assessment.

He looked up, and the giant clock standing in the base plaza came into view.

It was the most precise timekeeping instrument, as well as the bell that signaled every departure and every triumphant return.

When it rings, this base instantly shifts from a state of quiet to the frantic, high-tension atmosphere of combat readiness.

Because every time the bell tolls, it means a monster has appeared!

Those monsters, slumbering deep within the ocean, cause unimaginable casualties and destruction every time they emerge!

To combat these monsters, when conventional thermal weapons proved insufficient, various nations of humanity created their own monsters.

In other words, those precious mecha babies!

When thermal weapons lack the necessary firepower—or at least, lack the power to deal with monsters—humanity always finds a way to adapt.

When thermal weapons become nothing more than toys that merely tickle the monsters, the emergence of mecha uses iron fists forged of steel to tell the monsters that the "precious babies" are still the same, just in a different form.

It is not just that the times have changed; the world itself has changed!

These precious babies, crafted from the pinnacle of human technology, have become the pillars of humanity, protecting countless lives.

Major powers like the Celestial Dynasty are doing alright; they still define mecha as strategic weapons for countering monsters, treating them with respect but not blind worship.

However, some smaller nations have directly elevated mecha to the status of a Guardian God, and the treatment of mecha Pilots is incredibly lofty, with prestige that is off the charts.

If they were to run for president after retiring, they would be guaranteed a win!

As far as Luo Bing knew, the Sakura Island beneath his feet was currently in exactly such a state.

Woo—!

Just as Luo Bing was lost in his thoughts, a low-pitched but incredibly piercing bell toll rang out.

"This... Brother, what is this?"

Hearing the bell, Luo Yun froze, quickly looking toward her older brother.

Luo Bing's gaze was deep as he watched the base suddenly spring to life, and he nodded slightly:

"That's right, it's a monster attack!"

003. Monster—Iron Hammer

When the bell rang, the base plaza, which had been somewhat quiet just moments before, instantly erupted into chaos.

In the distance, Examiner Murong, who had just bid farewell to the Luo siblings, had her expression change. She shouted to Luo Bing from afar:

"Take your sister and hurry back to your room to stay put!"

She then abandoned all pretense of being a lady, kicked up her heels, and sprinted toward the control area in the distance.

Beyond her role as an Examiner, she also held the position of liaison for the Control Hall!

To be precise, the Examiner role was merely a side job; being a liaison for the Control Hall was her primary occupation!

After all, this was the Far East Mecha Base stationed in Sakurajima, and the vast majority of eligible candidates in Sakurajima went to their own local mecha bases.

Only a very small number of exceptions, like Luo Yun, would participate in the assessment program at the Sakurajima branch base!

The open-air platform on the other side of the plaza had been uncovered, revealing the massive machine hidden within.

Logistics personnel bustled about, preparing for the startup sequence of the large mecha.

Even from hundreds of meters away, one could see the sheer power possessed by this pinnacle creation, a condensation of modern technological essence!

It was a large mecha standing seventy to eighty meters tall. Its outer layer consisted of a gray, waterproof structural coating, but more prominent were the various exposed mechanical structures and...

A significant amount of armor plating that clearly belonged to the biological tissues of a Kaiju!

After defeating Kaiju, modern mecha technology had reached the point where they could harvest materials on-site, using the "legacy" of the monsters to reinforce the armor performance of the mecha in return!

Furthermore, due to their biological composition, these Kaiju exoskeleton armors were lighter and offered better protection, making them highly favored by that bunch of madmen in the Scientific Research Department!

On the shoulder of this large, gray, humanoid mecha, one gold and three silver diagonal stripes were particularly eye-catching.

These represented that this large mecha had once killed one Kaiju and repelled three!

"Wulei, a large mecha manufactured by the Far East, assembled in the East Sea. Height: 75 meters, Speed: 8, Strength: 7, Armor: 6!"

Luo Bing spoke in a soft, measured tone, reciting the codename and the stats panel of the large mecha.

As a reserve pilot, Luo Bing knew very well that these so-called panel stats could only serve as a reference and could not be taken as the absolute standard for actual combat.

However, in most cases, this data panel system still held significance in the combat power hierarchy.

"Big brother, is this Wulei?"

Luo Yun gazed at the gray, large-scale mecha from afar, her eyes already sparkling with excitement:

"The pilots operating Wulei are those two big sisters from the Lin Family, right? I heard they were pilots personally trained by Mom and Dad... If I could get them to teach me a trick or two, I'd definitely be able to pass the assessment!"

Luo Bing furrowed his brows and shouted with a stern face:

"Luo Yun!"

Luo Yun's body stiffened instantly, her expression turning dejected:

"Yes, yes, I know, I know. They are large mecha pilots and their time is extremely precious. I shouldn't disturb them just for my own personal matters!"

Luo Bing took Luo Yun's small hand and nodded. Seeing how dejected she was, he offered a few words of comfort:

"Once we get back, I'll teach you a couple of tricks. We'll rely on ourselves!"

"Mm-hmm! Brother, you're the best!"

Hearing this, Luo Yun immediately perked up again.

Watching his younger sister's resilience and how quickly she recovered her spirits, Luo Bing sighed inwardly.

He wasn't sure if having so many strong points was a good or bad thing for his little sister.

Her persistent efforts to learn and improve were all rooted in that single source: hatred!

For an adult, this might be a double-edged sword, but for a child, it was simply too cruel.

With the blood feud of their parents staring them in the face, Luo Bing couldn't openly oppose Luo Yun.

He only hoped that as the number of failures grew, Luo Yun would eventually learn to let go of these things.

The vengeance for our parents—that should be on me... Have a little more faith in your brother.

Luo Bing tapped his own head, as if reminding himself to stay sharp as well.

Afterward, amidst the bustling crowds of the base, Luo Bing shielded his sister and navigated through the turns until they returned to their room.

This wasn't an asset left behind by their parents.

It was a dormitory assigned to Luo Bing within the base, earned through his own talent.

Before he began faking his illness, his status was that of a Pilot, capable of operating small mechs freely.

If a Pilot of a large mech were to meet with an accident, the reserve system dictated that he was highly likely to be called up as a temporary wartime replacement.

That's right—it was for that very Wulei currently being activated outside.

After another year or so of training, Luo Bing would be able to serve as a backup for the Lin sisters. If either of the Lin sisters were ever indisposed, Luo Bing would be the one to step in and fill the gap!

"Satellite detection near the North Sea coast of Sakurajima has discovered a monster rapidly approaching!"

"It's a monster species we've encountered before, codenamed Iron Hammer. It landed in Chile three years ago and was repelled!"

"This Iron Hammer is not the same one that landed in Chile. That one had an arm severed and three eyes blinded when it was driven back, but this one is completely unscathed!"

The Data Observer relayed the information they had gathered to everyone in the command hall, making it easier for them to arrange the most appropriate combat strategy.

Upon hearing this data report, smiles immediately appeared on everyone's faces:

"The one that repelled Iron Hammer in Chile three years ago was the Azure Cutter manufactured by Lighthouse!"

"The Azure Cutter is a genuine antique by today's standards; it can't even compare to our Wulei! Isn't this battle a guaranteed win?"

"Maybe today, we can even carve another gold trim onto Wulei's shoulder!"

Some were bragging happily, while the more cautious ones smiled helplessly:

"I beg you, please stop jinxing it. What you're saying is making me so nervous."

Unlike the jubilant crowd in the command hall, the highest-ranking officer present, General Luo, frowned, refusing to let his guard down.

He asked calmly:

"How does the size of the Iron Hammer from three years ago compare to the one that appeared today?"

The Data Analyst was stunned upon hearing this, his face turning pale.

He glanced around and quickly reported:

"The one three years ago was 70 meters tall. This one, by rough estimation, is 75 meters!"

General Luo's expression turned cold:

"Are you certain?"

The Data Analyst hurriedly responded:

"Certain! Although most of Iron Hammer's body is still hidden beneath the seawater, according to the satellite detection results, the margin of error for the height estimate won't exceed one meter!"

The command hall fell silent. In an instant, not a sound could be heard.

Growing from 70 meters to 75 meters might not seem like a significant increase.

But one must realize, that is a full five meters of growth.
