Overwhelming Momentum

Overwhelming Momentum

With Xu Yue no longer stationed on the Koutetsujou, Sion and Kaku hurried to the control room together and told the people inside,

"Back up, now! That kind of Fusion Group can't be fought by manpower alone. If we don't retreat, everyone will die!"

"Reverse into the maintenance bay behind us."

Kaku chimed in as well.

But these were all Samurai from Kōkan Station. Xu Yue had saved everyone twice in a row during this period and established immense prestige, not to mention that he was the next highest-ranking officer of Kōkan Station.

Most of the Samurai could not possibly abandon the Koutetsujou's supreme commander, and stubbornly remained where they were.

"Damn it. They haven't seen the Fusion Group's strength yet. Once they do, they'll retreat. I just hope it won't be too late."

Sion grumbled viciously.

Kaku, meanwhile, gave a sinister laugh.

"I think they'll retreat once they see that man die at the Fusion Group's hands. I never expected them to fight their way through that swarm of Kabane by the boiler. They do have some skill."

"But no matter how strong they are, charging headlong at a Fusion Group is courting death."

Looking down from the Koutetsujou, Sion saw Xu Yue actually charge toward the Fusion Group and could not help sneering.

He had thought Xu Yue might threaten the Young Master. Someone so impulsive and reckless, unable to recognize his own limits, was nothing to worry about...

The fierce wind whistling past his ears put a strange smile on Xu Yue's lips, while his mind remained unusually alert.

That's it. This feeling.

The scarlet pupils in his eyes spun continuously, and everything before him grew clearer and clearer.

The entire outline of the Fusion Group hidden in the darkness appeared in Xu Yue's sight.

Overall, it looked like a grotesque feast of human bodies formed from countless Kabane clustered together, a deformed beast capable of assuming any shape.

Every movement it made could shake the earth and mountains, while the Kabane hanging from its body would tumble off.

At that moment, the Fusion Group had taken the form of a gigantic, bizarre creature with only limbs and a head.

It seemed to notice Xu Yue. Raising its enormous palm, it swept it toward him.

A massive shadow swept across him as fierce winds howled in. The air itself seemed to freeze solid.

"There's no way to contend with that strength, but it's far too slow!"

With a sideways roll, he let the enormous palm made of Kabane skim past him.

The terrifying air pressure distorted Xu Yue's expression into something almost grotesque. His clothes and hair whipped wildly, but that was all!

The sweeping arm flattened every protruding object on the ground, sending shattered stones flying before smashing fiercely into the mine wall and shaking loose countless rocks.

The Kabane forming the arm were flung in every direction.

Taking advantage of the Fusion Group's missed strike against the rock wall, Xu Yue leaped straight onto its arm!

Then, with a clear target in mind, he charged toward the Fusion Group's heart.

After only two steps, he seemed to predict the future, twisting through the air in advance and effortlessly vaulting over the other arm that came pressing down.

The Fusion Group's own arms collided, sweeping away another batch of Kabane.

But just as Xu Yue was rolling through the air—

The shoulder of that huge, bizarre figure writhed and twisted nauseatingly, forming another new arm!

The Kabane Fusion Group was not a fixed creature. Its form could change by rearranging the gathered Kabane.

The timing of this new arm's birth came precisely when Xu Yue had borrowed force repeatedly and had yet to recover. The mixed wails of countless Kabane turned the area into something like Hell Abyss.

"He's dead for sure now!"

"Yeah. I never expected him to be so absurdly strong. Even a Kabaneri couldn't do that, right?"

Beside the Koutetsujou on the tracks above the mine, Kaku watched Xu Yue's strength for the first time with shock written all over his face.

But soon, both of them still sighed in relief. They were both reasonably skilled fighters, so they could barely make out the predicament that monster-like man was in.

Yet Xu Yue had just landed from his roll and was facing the new palm that had sealed off all space. The Two Tomoe in his eyes spun to their limit, and every pattern of the newborn arm seemed to fall into his vision.

The sphere of light he had already condensed in his palm during the roll was thrust toward the spot locked onto by his eyes.

Boom!

The core connection point of the arm was hit head-on by the Rasengan. Every Kabane forming that new arm lost its restraints and burst apart, raining down like raindrops!

The Fusion Group's palm, spread open and five or six meters across, seemed to have a chunk missing from thin air. It failed to inflict even the slightest damage and barely even managed to obstruct him.

Xu Yue passed straight through it and arrived at the Fusion Group's heart.

Repeating the trick, another Rasengan already prepared in his other hand tore apart all the defenses across the Fusion Group's chest, exposing the Fusion Group core hanging at its center.

A Kabaneri dressed similarly to Mumei!

Without waiting for any reaction, a Kunai pierced her heart. The enormous Fusion Group instantly dissolved like butter melting under high heat...

Beneath the falling "raindrops," Xu Yue glanced at the melting Kabane Fusion Group, and the heat in his eyes gradually returned to calmness and coldness.

There had been no telekinesis or special enhancements. As expected, this Fusion Group with a Kabaneri as its core was merely a flawed experiment.

In terms of overall ability, a Kabaneri Fusion Group absolutely possessed Chunin-level strength. Without prior preparations or intelligence, even a Chunin could be caught off guard and die horribly! Even many Jonin could not take its brute-force attacks head-on.

But with the Sharingan and prior knowledge of the Fusion Group, Xu Yue had achieved this kill with only the overall level of an elite Genin!

Whether among the ninjas of Naruto or in the Reincarnation Space, the importance of intelligence was beyond question...

The kill had happened so quickly that Sion and Kaku had not even finished speaking.

They had just said, "He's dead for sure now."

The next moment, the Fusion Group had been blasted into scraps.

Their voices cut off abruptly, their faces blank with horror.

"H-how is that possible?!"

Kaku stared at the Fusion Group that had been breached and killed in a single strike by one man. Even with the mindset of a veteran soldier, his mouth hung open in an O shape. Though it was open so wide, he still seemed unable to breathe.

His chest heaved violently.

This had completely exceeded his imagination, completely surpassed anything he had expected!

The Fusion Group was the most powerful existence he knew of, yet it had been killed by a single man!

"I-I think we need to change our strategy."

Sion, who had initially agreed with Kaku's words, could not help showing a bitter smile.

"Hmph."

After coming back to his senses, Kaku's expression shifted uncertainly for a while before he snorted and returned inside the Koutetsujou, back among the refugees.

He knew that Sion might be speaking politely to him now, but once they met Biba, the first person Sion would sell out would be him!

He had to return openly and honorably. He had to make Biba invite him back!

The sudden appearance of someone this powerful would surely put enough pressure on Biba as well. For Kaku, that was not entirely unacceptable.

As long as that happened, Biba would need him. He definitely would!

Killed Kabane Fusion Group. Reward: 5000 Reincarnation Points. Added to settlement statistics.

Mission completed: The Mystery of Hasshun Station's Fall

As Xu Yue turned to look for Mumei and the others, he received the two prompts. Even though he had already completed the Redemption of Kōkan Station mission, the reward for this one was still quite good. He certainly would not complain about receiving too many rewards in this Mission Space.

Seeing the trio from the Railway Guerrillas bruised and battered after briefly holding back Mumei and Kurusu, Xu Yue could not help shaking his head.

They really were hopeless. They were three Kabaneri, after all, and they even had the experience accumulated from their first mission, yet they were still so weak.

By then, Mumei had also forgotten about trying to break through these three wild Kabaneri. She simply stared at Xu Yue with her beautiful eyes wide open, as though she were looking at some kind of monster.

She had only spent a moment beating people up, and the Fusion Group had already been killed?

"There was a girl at that thing's core, dressed similarly to you."

Xu Yue said it casually, then changed the subject before the stunned Mumei could react.

"Alright, the obstacle has been cleared. After that monster was scattered, quite a few Kabane can still move. Let's head back."

Without giving her a chance to question or think, he had forcefully planted a seed of suspicion. Although he had never directly challenged Biba's place in Mumei's heart, once that important figure vanished from her heart, all his earlier preparations would have their chance to work...
