Bzz! Bzz!
As the alarm blared, a missile emerged from its silo. A terrifying pillar of flame erupted from its tail, and it shot into the sky with a whoosh!
"Not good!!" Juexin's expression changed sharply. "That thing is heading for the Orbital Cannon Satellite!!!"
Boom!!
A Torashiki Heavenly Puppet leaped explosively into the air and actually grabbed the ascending missile, trying to drag it down!
But the missile's thrust was astonishing. It carried Torashiki along, taking him on one hell of a flight!
Juexin was ruthless enough to have that Torashiki Heavenly Puppet destroy the missile midway!
But the missile's warhead suddenly separated from its body, then fired a second-stage booster and accelerated into the clouds!
In that split second, even Juexin could no longer respond effectively. After all, he was no Yellow Flash!
Rumble!
With a brilliant flash of fire beyond the clouds, the connection between Juexin and the Orbital Cannon Satellite was severed!
Clang!!!
The Torashiki Heavenly Puppet landed, clutching the missile's tail fins!
Under Juexin's dark glare, Kankuro laughed triumphantly. "Hahahaha! Well? Can't use your 'decapitation tactic' anymore, can you?"
The Lightspire Tower defensive line had been breached, and Kankuro had yet to organize another line of defense!
"Is that so? You're certainly bold, but what does that change!"
Juexin intended to press his advantage and destroy the base that was Kankuro's true body, behind the Nuclear Power Plant!
But Sasori's warning came just then. "I'd advise you not to do that. The Nuclear Power Plant itself is a gigantic bomb."
Juexin was dismissive. "So what? Can it kill me?"
Sasori chuckled and shook his head. "Of course it can't kill you, but it can flatten this island. You should understand what that means."
"..." Juexin narrowed his eyes.
