"Roar!"
This time, even a deaf! could hear that it was the Mad Ape's pained scream.
The sound was sharp and hoarse, no longer possessing its former spirit.
It was like a promising young graduate, who after two years of harsh reality, had their spirit die at twenty-five and their body buried at eighty.
Their edges smoothed down by society and life.
The Mad Ape was the same now. When it first crossed the wormhole to Earth, it was full of spirit, but the constant barrage of setbacks made it question its very existence.
Although Taishan's battle was a defeat, it still inflicted immense damage on the Mad Ape.
Moreover, if it weren't for the surrounding people, which restricted Taishan's full power, it wouldn't have lasted until Cherno Alpha's arrival.
Not to mention, Taishan had many opportunities to use its particle cannon, but it chose to engage in close combat for fear of accidentally harming civilians.
The current Cherno Alpha, however, didn't care about that. It wasn't that it disregarded civilian casualties, but rather it simply lacked large-scale destructive weapons.
It could go all out against the Mad Ape.
The range of its electric arc pulse could only cover the Mad Ape, so there was no need to worry about the safety of the surrounding civilians.
Furthermore, the Mad Ape was already at its last leg, repeatedly taking damage in a true man's duel with Cherno Alpha.
Every punch that landed on its body caused it immense pain, and it howled endlessly.
Under the relentless assault, the Mad Ape's eyes turned blood red. Like a desperate gambler, it prepared for a final charge against the "iron bucket" lump in front of it!
"Explosive Steel Nails ready!"
Seeing the Mad Ape about to charge, Sasha and Alex didn't retreat but charged head-on.
In fact, they couldn't retreat. Cherno Alpha's maneuverability was truly not something to boast about.
Steel nails shot out from Cherno Alpha's feet, firmly embedding themselves in the seabed.
The Mad Ape's charge didn't make Cherno Alpha retreat; instead, it took two more direct punches.
It wasn't that the Mad Ape was passively taking hits the whole time, but rather its attacks were nothing to Cherno Alpha.
If it were in its prime, it would have been a different story, but now its attacks were truly insufficient against Cherno Alpha, whose defense was maxed out.
Xiao Shou and the other two watched with excitement, as did the evacuated civilians around them.
The visceral impact of the punches could ignite the "beastly nature" hidden deep in people's hearts.
Uh, I meant their bloodlust...
"Weapon systems have finished rebooting!"
Upon hearing the system prompt from inside Taishan, Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan's spirits lifted. They finally didn't have to be mere spectators anymore.
"Disengage safety mode, switch to electromagnetic pulse wave mode!"
An electronic magnetic storm appeared on Taishan's right arm. A cannon barrel extended from its hand, aiming at the Mad Ape.
"Alpha, get further away from the Mad Ape!"
The pilots of Cherno Alpha, Sasha and Alex, looked at Taishan raising its right arm, enveloped by the electronic magnetic storm, and understood.
They disengaged the Explosive Steel Nails mode, knocked the Mad Ape back with a punch, and then quickly retreated.
After such a long period of engagement, the surrounding crowds had also moved far away from the battlefield, so there was no longer any concern about affecting civilians.
Taishan's left arm supported its right arm to ensure the accuracy of the weapon's firing.
The electromagnetic pulse wave, unlike the particle cannon, had greater destructive power and was correspondingly harder to control, with significant recoil.
A serpentine arc of electricity shot out from the cannon barrel, striking the Mad Ape directly.
The entire world was filled with only that azure light.
Illuminated by the night, it appeared so sacred and majestic.
Just like... divine punishment!
The electromagnetic pulse wave struck the Mad Ape's back, causing a violent explosion. Arcs of electricity writhed across its body.
The Mad Ape's body, which had been struggling to get up, instantly froze, or rather, became paralyzed, kneeling in the sea, unable to move for a long time.
This attack was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It destroyed the Mad Ape's will to struggle any further.
Taishan's left hand gripped the hilt of its sword, and the electromagnetic stimulator in its hand activated. The laser sword shot out once more.
The electromagnetic stimulator on its right arm had been bitten and damaged by the Mad Ape earlier, but fortunately, these devices were installed on both hands.
It could be used again as soon as the weapon system was restored.
Taishan slowly walked in front of the Mad Ape, looking at its old adversary with whom it had fought for so long.
It seemed that the electromagnetic pulse wave had severed the connection between the Mad Ape and "them."
The Mad Ape's eyes were no longer blood red. Instead, they held a somewhat pleading, human-like gaze as it looked at Taishan.
Taishan did not hesitate. It gripped the laser sword in its left hand and raised it slightly.
Perhaps you are innocent, forced to come here by someone else's control.
But the moment you stepped through the wormhole and arrived here, your fate was sealed.
The civilian casualties caused by your arrival, the regrets of the fallen heroes, there is no turning back now.
Because this is a war between races, a war for survival.
War knows no mercy, only endless bloodshed, and it will only stop when one side is completely annihilated.
The laser sword descended.
"Crack!"
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, cleaving through the darkness.
The weather has changed, a storm is coming.
