Terrifying Self-Healing Regeneration

Running is easy enough.

But driving a Jaeger weighing 3,200 tons and running is anything but easy.

Xiao Shou felt immense strain.

The resistance from Taishan in the sea was too great.

Even though the battlefield was chosen near the coast, it was still over sixty meters deep.

The seawater had already reached Taishan's waist.

However, the first few steps were just difficult.

Later, due to inertia, running became effortless.

The distance between Taishan and the Kaiju Bladehead was only a little over a thousand meters.

With Taishan's running, it quickly reached Bladehead.

War was imminent!

As Taishan approached Bladehead, it leaped into the air.

Of course, Taishan wouldn't jump very high given its weight.

But at this moment, using the force of inertia, it leaped slightly and, with its right hand clenched, hammered directly at Bladehead's shark-like head.

Bladehead couldn't dodge this move in time and took a direct punch, staggering backward.

Taishan didn't let go of the opportunity after landing a blow, surging forward and striking Bladehead's jaw from below with its left hand.

Bladehead roared in anger. These two hits meant nothing to it.

This would only enrage it further.

It had been unharmed by the barrage from those "little flying insects" and their firepower had not hindered its advance.

Now, after taking two heavy blows, it was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Bladehead's eyes turned blood red, and it roared as it charged at Taishan.

"Watch out for its shark head!"

Bladehead's saw-like sharp head lunged forward.

Taishan slightly dodged the attack, its left arm tightly restraining the front of Bladehead's head.

Taishan's left arm was reinforced with a nano-retractable material, allowing it to deploy a shield for defense in critical moments.

Therefore, it appeared quite robust, while the right arm was equipped with weapon systems.

It was no problem for Taishan to hold Bladehead's head tightly for a while.

"Open the right arm's rocket booster, full power!"

A cannon-like device extended from Taishan's right elbow, pointing backward.

The rocket booster roared to life, spewing azure flames from its tail.

"Rocket booster is fully charged!"

"Heavy punch!"

Taishan's right fist, empowered by the rocket booster, slammed down hard on Bladehead's restrained shark head!

A visible shockwave erupted outward from Bladehead.

Stirring up a vortex of turbulent sea currents.

"Nicely done!"

The onlookers couldn't help but cheer when they saw this.

In this round, Taishan's attack was fluid and seamless, following up one successful strike after another.

It was exhilarating to watch.

"Oh, Taishan, forever the GOAT!"

"My mom asked why I was watching the live stream on my knees. Now my mom is kneeling with me!"

"I officially request the pilot of Taishan, I want to have your babies!"

"I wonder if Taishan's pilot is a woman. If so, then I volunteer!"

"Dude upstairs, you're dreaming! This kind of thing is for someone like me, the handsome Wu Yanzu of Wuhu, to handle!"

Citizens from all over were invigorated by Taishan's display of power.

The Dalian Shatterdome base was also filled with cheers.

Only Mao Shucheng, Zhu Qian, and Jin Rong wore grim expressions.

This was just the beginning.

Gaining an early advantage wouldn't guarantee victory in a war.

As expected, just as Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan were about to press their advantage, Bladehead broke free from Taishan's restraint.

The "Taishan" was flipped onto its back.

Before "Taishan" could even struggle to get up, the "Bladehead" pressed down again.

Its sharp blade head scraped against the "Taishan" Jaeger, sending out violent sparks.

Fortunately, Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan reacted in time, their arms bracing tightly against the "Bladehead's" forward momentum.

This prevented the "Bladehead" from charging further.

Otherwise, if the blade head had continued its charge, it would have likely sliced through the entire front of "Taishan."

"Taishan's" power system relied on the nuclear turbine engine located in its chest.

Without power, "Taishan" would be nothing more than scrap metal.

Seeing the "Bladehead's" movements stall and threaten "Taishan."

"Taishan" was currently helpless. The strength of a Category 3 Kaiju was nothing compared to the previous monsters.

Furthermore, the Jaeger's own weight was no match for the "Bladehead."

In this struggle, "Taishan" was at a disadvantage, being pushed back repeatedly by the "Bladehead."

"Escort unit Falcon Squadron, receive your orders! Attack the 'Bladehead's' eyes, support 'Taishan'!"

"Falcon Squadron understands!"

The air force fighter escort group, led by Colonel Lin Huixin, scattered.

They targeted the "Bladehead's" eyes, jaw, and other vital areas.

Although this firepower was like mere drizzle to the "Bladehead," it still inevitably caused it some trouble.

Its forward momentum lessened considerably, but it still didn't let go.

However, for "Taishan," this was like divine intervention.

It was enough to give him a moment to breathe while being restrained.

At that moment, the nano-retractable mechanical system within his left arm activated, forming a shield from his elbow to his hand.

He used the shield to resist the "Bladehead's" force.

This freed up his right arm.

The ace, of course, was the right arm equipped with the majority of the weapon systems.

"Activate electromagnetic storm, switch to particle cannon mode."

A circle of electromagnetic storm appeared around "Taishan's" right arm.

It looked like he was wearing a blue bracelet.

A rather life-threatening bracelet, though.

With its left arm shield resisting the "Bladehead's" attack, "Taishan" used its right arm to target the "Bladehead's" heart.

It was located a little above the stomach.

This information came from the intelligence analysis team's scan of the "Bladehead's" internal structure.

The cannon barrel extended from the right palm, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the "Bladehead's" heart.

The advantage of the particle cannon over an electromagnetic pulse wave was its controllability, non-continuous fire, and precision targeting.

He blasted the "Bladehead's" heart twice, eliciting continuous screams.

The "Bladehead" was not foolish. It stopped its struggle with "Taishan," blocking its heart with its left arm.

It retreated two steps before charging at "Taishan" again, slamming hard into the shield and sending "Taishan" flying back once more.

But this time, it didn't press its advantage. Although it managed to block the particle cannon attack with its hand in time, its entire left arm was blown to pieces.

Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan were delighted by this. With the "Bladehead's" actions hindered, they could now handle it however they pleased.

But before they, the command center, or the public watching the live TV broadcast could celebrate.

A shocking scene unfolded.

The "Bladehead's" empty left arm, which had been continuously leaking blue blood, began to writhe.

A new left arm grew back at a visible speed.

"Oh, shut! Is this monster unkillable?!"

Even those at PPDC headquarters in San Francisco, USA, watching the battlefield feed, broke out in a cold sweat.

Commander Jonathan Williams's expression was solemn. The Kaiju "Bladehead" that had attacked this time posed too great a threat.

Let alone "Taishan" in its debut battle, even the battle-hardened "Wanderer" and "Explorer" would likely be helpless.

Inside the "Taishan" cockpit, Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan were also filled with dread.

This Kaiju, "Bladehead," was truly a formidable opponent!
