"Oh my god, this is cheating! No matter how much damage it takes, it heals itself in no time. How are we supposed to fight this!"
"Seriously, even Cheng Yaojin's ultimate skill to heal isn't this ridiculous!"
"You upstairs, get serious. Hong Kong is on the brink of disaster, and you're talking about games."
The citizens watching the live TV broadcast couldn't help but chime in.
The advantage "Taishan" had previously built up was completely gone, watching "Bladehead's" terrifying self-healing and recovery abilities.
Everyone fell into despair once more.
There was no other way, it had to be using an invincibility cheat.
Dalian Shatterdome Base Command Center.
"Report, 'Bladehead's' blood contains an extra type of cell with regenerative and splitting capabilities."
"Is there any way to curb this situation?"
"Apologies, Commander. We currently have no effective means. We still know too little about it."
Mao Shucheng sighed inwardly. This battle was exceptionally difficult.
The fight had been going on for nearly an hour.
The neural synchrony connection between Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan, in their first cooperation, was also nearing its limit.
At this point, time was life. They didn't have the time to wear down the Kaiju.
"Report, after analyzing the internal organs of 'Bladehead,' its main brain and secondary brain have been located!"
Zhan Siqi reported. She was in charge of analyzing Kaiju intelligence, and she had finally fulfilled her mission.
"Bladehead's" secondary brain was hidden in the back of its neck, primarily coordinating its motor nerves.
It was similar to a Jaeger's dual-pilot system, where one pilot controlled the left half of the brain and the other controlled the right half.
The Kaiju "Bladehead" was the largest encountered so far, so it naturally needed a secondary brain to coordinate its functions.
Its main brain was in its head, but the bone structure there was heavily defended, making it difficult for "Taishan's" current firepower to break through directly.
The secondary brain was a good alternative. Destroying it would be like destroying a Jaeger's power system.
No matter how huge it was, it would then be at their mercy.
Jin Rong picked up the intercom.
"'Taishan,' attack 'Bladehead's' back of the neck! That's where its secondary brain is located!"
"Understood!"
Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan received the message and exchanged glances.
Knowing the opponent's weakness made things easier.
The electromagnetic storm generator on its right arm was retracted.
He reached into the base of his right leg and pulled out something resembling a sword hilt.
With a slight flick, the blade hidden within the hilt sprang out.
It was one of Z Nation's ancient weapons, the Tang Mo Dao!
The Tang Heng Dao was a straight-bladed sword, and the Mo Dao had a similar shape, just wider and thicker than the Heng Dao.
It was double-edged.
A long-handled saber, it was used with wide, sweeping attacks and possessed immense offensive power.
In ancient times, it was a cold weapon capable of confronting cavalry.
It was specifically used to hack at the legs of horses.
One of the rare divine weapons of the cold weapon era.
Because of its long handle, the blade was designed to be hidden within it.
This made it convenient to store within "Taishan."
This specially made Mo Dao was forty-four meters long, with the hilt and blade in a one-to-one ratio.
The recovered "Bladehead" charged at "Taishan" once more.
It completely disregarded the Mo Dao "Taishan" was holding, seeing it as less of a threat than the particle cannon it had used before.
Seeing that its opponent had abandoned that method of attack, it naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass.
"Taishan" gripped the hilt with both hands, standing ready.
It sidestepped "Bladehead's" charging attack.
Gripping the Mo Dao, it swung it again towards "Bladehead's" front hooves.
Xiao Shou's original intention was just to inflict some damage on "Bladehead" to enrage it.
This way, they could find an opportunity to attack its secondary brain.
To their surprise, Mo Dao charged forward as if nothing could stop it.
It sliced off Bladehead's forearm once more.
This left Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan stunned. It wasn't just them; the public watching the live broadcast, and even the command center at the Shatterdome base, hadn't expected this.
They had underestimated Mo Dao's power.
In an era ruled by cold weapon cavalry, Mo Dao had already instilled deep fear.
A small squad of Mo Dao soldiers could withstand an equal number of cavalry, and the Mo Dao soldiers would inevitably win.
The glory of Z Nation's ancient cold weapon era was something modern people couldn't truly comprehend.
And Mo Dao, as the ace of cold weapons, naturally wouldn't disappoint.
It directly severed one of Bladehead's arms with a single strike.
Of course, it was also possible that Bladehead had only just recovered, and its bones weren't yet tightly knit.
But regardless, it showcased Mo Dao's extraordinary nature.
After more than a thousand years, it was once again displaying its formidable might!
Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
They had expected a fierce battle.
But unexpectedly, Mo Dao had already allowed them to achieve a remarkable feat right from the start.
It directly turned and struck the back of Bladehead's neck, which was still in a charging stance.
Blue blood immediately spurted out.
"Secondary brain signal from 'Bladehead' detected as lost. 'Taishan' has succeeded!"
"Well done!"
The command center erupted in cheers.
Even Mao Shucheng joined in.
Bladehead collapsed with a whimper. Without the secondary brain's control, it was temporarily immobilized.
Of course, this was only temporary. Once the main brain took over the motor functions, it would recover.
But this would take time, and Taishan wouldn't give it that chance.
It immediately closed the distance, gripped Mo Dao with both hands, and thrust it fiercely into Bladehead's head.
Bladehead's piercing roar echoed through the sky, gradually fading into silence after a long while.
Looking at the now motionless Bladehead, Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan remained on high alert, not daring to relax.
Who knew if it would regenerate again?
"Use the particle cannon to shatter its head!"
Mao Shucheng commanded Taishan through the radio.
"Understood!"
Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan didn't hesitate any longer.
"Disengage safety mode, particle cannon ready!"
Taishan's right arm aimed at Bladehead's head.
The electromagnetic storm field reappeared, the cannon barrel extended, and it fired three shots at Bladehead's head.
Bladehead's head was completely pulverized.
"Report to Commander, internal organs of 'Bladehead' confirmed to have ceased biological activity!"
Mao Shucheng clenched his right fist and swung it fiercely.
"We... won!"
Instantly, the entire Shatterdome base in Dalian erupted in cheers.
The female host conducting the live television broadcast received the news from above.
She froze the image on Bladehead's shattered head, with Taishan standing beside it, truly like a great mountain guarding the near-sea border.
"We... have victory!"
Under the host's excited and soaring announcement, All the citizens watching the live broadcast were in an uproar!
Families embraced each other, weeping with joy, a scene seen all over the country.
Students excitedly threw their textbooks and papers into the air, scattering them everywhere. The teachers nearby smiled and didn't stop them; at a time like this, they wouldn't spoil the mood.
People gathered on the streets watching the big screen were even more boisterous. Quite a few young couples passionately kissed on the street.
The sound of firecrackers popping was incessant, rivaling the celebrations on New Year's Eve.
The gloom that had hung over the entire nation at this moment completely dissipated!
The threat of Kaiju was reduced to its lowest point in the minds of the public.
Because, we now have "heroes"!
