Bang!
Bang!
A muffled sound and a tremendous recoil force traveled back into the mech's cockpit.
Two large clusters of high-temperature plasma projectiles pierced directly through the fourth monster's enormous hand, completely detaching them from its grasp.
The shockwaves from the plasma cannonballs in the sea reached the Gipsy Danger below. Raleigh and Zhang Qing were using the chain swords on their mechs as saws and spears, relentlessly attacking the fourth monster's calves, but with little effect.
" Raleigh, Pangu has fired!" Hearing the echoing sound, Zhang Qing looked up and saw wisps of blue plasma floating in the seawater.
However, after Raleigh discovered this, instead of replying, he shouted—
"Get out of the way!"
However, it was too late.
The next second, the monster hit by the plasma cannon fell backward, and the Gipsy Danger was "working" right at the monster's feet, was immediately affected and was hit by a flying kick from the monster for no reason.
The over 80-meter-long mech was kicked away like a child...
Pangu.
Zhang Tianyuan pressed his advantage, chasing after the fourth monster, whose arm had been severed, as it retreated.
The massive mech closed in on the monster in two steps, picking up the giant axe that had fallen into the mud along the way.
Click!
Pressed against the monster's chest--
Zhang Tianyuan raised one hand, and the Pangu made the same movement.
In the dark, icy sea, within the cannon barrel embedded in the palm, the flange rotates, plasma projectiles switch, and a fierce blue light flashes again from the muzzle, the pressurizing sound, signifying the charging of power, grows increasingly piercing...
The fourth monster opposite suddenly opened its huge mouth, revealing countless tongues squeezed together. These tongues were extremely dense, similar in shape, like octopus tentacles, constantly bursting out of the mucus, and topped with strange teeth, like tiny mouths. Just one look at them could kill someone with trypophobia.
Countless tongues, each with its own unique posture—some curled up, others writhing—suddenly lengthened and extended, launching themselves directly at the mecha.
Zhang Tianyuan dared not let these strange things touch the Pangu; who knew what abilities they might possess?
So he immediately turned the cannon around and fired a plasma shot at those tongues.
Then, surprisingly, those tongues directly absorbed the plasma cannon, then began to writhe. Suddenly, the countless small mouths at the top merged together, forming a gaping black hole that emitted a familiar blue light.
"Plasma cannon!"
Zhang Tianyuan and Mako Mori realized it at the same time.
The tongue's abilities are absorption and counterattack!
The Gipsy Danger also sensed the urgency of the situation. It lunged from the side in two strides, activated the thrusters on its back, and actually jumped up.
He swung his chain sword into a full moon shape, slashing at the exposed tongue of the fourth monster!
Swish!
In an instant, the fourth monster's tongue was completely severed at the root.
However, the Gipsy Danger felt like he had cut nothing at all!
Raleigh and Zhang Qing instinctively looked towards the monster, only to find that there was no mouth anywhere.
The monster's entire jaw was severed!
The internal tissues were completely gone, and even the monster's bones showed a sharp, smooth cut.
They definitely didn't do this!
Their chain swords weren't that sharp.
Since they didn't do it, then it can only be...
Raleigh and Zhang Qing turned their heads to the other side, towards the direction of the Pangu.
It could only be the chairman's doing.
Spacetime Cutting!
They had heard of this move before...
Lost in astonishment, the small mech, Gipsy Danger, traced a graceful descent between the behemoths, the Monster and the Pangu, before gently landing, cushioned by the seawater.
call!
Inside the Pangu, Mako Mori felt like she had just brushed with death.
The monster's plasma cannon that retaliated was aimed directly at the cockpit.
Under such circumstances, even if the Pangu was extremely sturdy, the cockpit would not be completely undamaged. Given the water pressure at the bottom of the sea, if there was even a crack in the cockpit window, it would be a disaster.
It's fair to say she just barely escaped with her life.
Mako Mori subconsciously gave Zhang Tianyuan a thumbs-up, but quickly realized it was inappropriate and immediately put it down. Seeing that Zhang Tianyuan was completely unaware of her actions, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Tianyuan hadn't noticed what Mako Mori had just done; his attention was still on Monster Number Four.
He continued to maneuver the Pangu closer to the monster.
The monster was now on the verge of madness, its enormous body writhing uncontrollably.
It couldn't understand how its mouth could have been so severely injured. With more intelligence came more fear, and now its emotions were filled with dread.
It wanted to escape, but it seemed there was nowhere to run.
Because that big metal lump had reappeared in front of him!
Zhang Tianyuan calmly looked at the fourth monster.
He felt that the mouth must be a vital organ of this monster, otherwise it would look like it had lost its manhood.
If Mako Mori knew about his thoughts, she would definitely suggest that the chairman put himself in the monster's shoes and think from the monster's perspective, because monsters also feel pain.
No matter what kind of life it is, as long as it still has a full capacity for pain, it couldn't possibly withstand having its mouth suddenly ripped off...
Unfortunately, she didn't have a synesthetic connection with Zhang Tianyuan, and their thoughts didn't align.
Zhang Tianyuan had no choice but to follow his own ideas.
And faced with this situation...
His idea was --
continue!
If you're looking for thrills, then go all out for them.
The same logic applies now. The Spacetime Cutting has already been used once, the monster has suffered heavy losses, and the pollution has already occurred, so a few more times won't make a difference.
Splash...
The Pangu pierced through the seawater, pushing aside the corrosive blue blood that had mingled with the seawater. Ignoring the monster's struggles, it precisely grabbed the forearm of the fourth monster, whose hand had just been knocked off.
Swish!
Zhang Tianyuan's eyelids twitched, and the frantically struggling monster paused, instantly shrinking in size.
An invisible blade appeared from its thigh, causing the seawater to split into layers for an instant.
"Beep beep beep beep!"
The Gipsy Danger, caught between Pangu and the monster, had alarms constantly sounding in the cockpit.
Raleigh and Zhang Qing looked up and saw that Monster Number Four was hurtling towards them like a mountain!
What!?
boom!
With a swift turn, the Gipsy Danger used its back to brace itself against the monster's descent. The already damaged mech nearly collapsed under the impact, and the armor on its legs shattered instantly.
It was only then that Zhang Tianyuan realized that the Gipsy was right in front of him.
He was ultimately not a professional mecha pilot.
Although Mako Mori discovered it, she didn't think the information was important, so she didn't say anything.
Raleigh was on the verge of tears.
He felt like a "child" caught between two adults; if either of them made the slightest move, he was the one who would suffer...
"Disintegration warning!"
"Disintegration warning!"
Suddenly, the entire cockpit lurched.
Zhang Qing immediately gritted his teeth and shouted, "The mech's left knee is in trouble!"
His synesthetic connection was with the left half of the mecha's body; the excruciating pain from the damaged left knee was transmitted to him.
" The Gipsy Danger can't hold on any longer!"
Inside the Pangu, Mako Mori also promptly warned, "We must save them, or they'll be crushed by the monster!"
"I understand!" Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly replied, and then the mecha's hands reached for the monster on the back of the Gipsy.
Monster number four, having lost both legs and its jaw, is still in the seawater. It's as if it's been given a super-strong blood loss buff; it's now almost too weak to even struggle.
Just as the Pangu was about to retrieve the monster, Zhang Qing Qing's shout suddenly rang out in the cockpit:
"President, don't worry about us. We'll carry the monster into the wormhole. When the time is right, throw the Striker Eureka in with us. Raleigh's connecting the nuclear missile!"
Zhang Tianyuan paused, said "okay," but didn't stop what he was doing.
The Pangu grabbed the monster's arms.
Swish!
The next second, the monster lost all four limbs, leaving only a bleeding body.
The Gipsy Danger felt a sudden lightness in his body, and the disintegration alarm disappeared.
"Walk!"
Let's end this era!
Raleigh glanced at Zhang Qing, and Zhang Qing looked back at him.
Inside the cockpit, where short-circuit sparks occasionally flew, the two men exchanged a knowing smile and bumped fists. Then, with a burst of energy, they slung the monsters on their backs and headed towards the wormhole ahead, which emitted a dazzling light and resembled a volcano crater.
Zhang Tianyuan and the Pangu stood on the seabed, not too close, with the mecha still holding the head of the Striker Eureka in its hand.
He and Mako Mori watched quietly as the Gipsy Danger strode forward.
Click.
Mako Mori activated the communication system and promptly reported back to the ground:
"This is Pangu. The Gipsy Danger is now preparing for a mission."
"We are about to enter the wormhole."
At the Shatterdome Base, Tendo Choi quickly received the news.
Old Pan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, which he wiped away repeatedly.
Taylor made the sign of the cross on his chest.
Ning Jihua, in a calm voice, took the microphone from Tendo Choi and spoke directly into the seabed, "Everyone, regardless of the success or failure of this mission, you and the pilots of the other mechs are heroes of humanity, and your names will be remembered in history... On behalf of the people of the world, we wish you a safe return."
Safe return...
Pangu in the air.
"President?" Mako Mori suddenly turned her head and looked over, her eyes full of expectation.
Zhang Tianyuan understood her meaning and calmly said, "They will return safely."
He had already prepared the time-space coordinates in the cockpits of all the mechs in advance. With the historical and character coordinates in place, he could open Spacetime Tunnel even on an alien planet.
Just as Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, Raleigh had already reached the edge of the cliff on the seabed. If he jumped down, he would be in a wormhole.
Raleigh and Zhang Qing briefly thanked everyone for their concern before continuing their report, "We have reached the edge of the wormhole. The monster's vital signs are rapidly weakening; we must enter the wormhole as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan immediately threw the Striker Eureka over.
The mech originally had an upper body that was over fifty meters long, but after the recent battle, it was destroyed, leaving only its head and back; its chest was torn open.
Fortunately, the nuclear bomb on its back was not damaged.
Striker Eureka landed safely next to the Gipsy Danger.
While supporting the monster on their backs, Raleigh and Zhang Qing picked up the Striker's head from the ground.
Raleigh has already connected the nuclear bomb to the Gipsy, and once inside the wormhole, he will activate the nuclear bomb's timed detonation function.
Everything is ready.
Wow!
The two people in the cockpit were panting heavily. They took one last look back, and the Pangu was standing not far away.
President Zhang was inside watching them.
The thought that they could return to Earth through the Spacetime Tunnel later calmed them down.
"Command center, we're setting off!"
Precursors, here we come!
Raleigh and Zhang Qing took the final step.
The Gipsy Danger leaped off the cliff, carrying the Striker Eureka's head in one hand and tightly holding the monster in the other. Its thrusters activated again, propelling it rapidly toward the wormhole.
Monster Number Four had all four limbs severed and lost its chin. It was so weak that it couldn't even open its eyes and could only let the mech push it back into the wormhole.
The mechs and monsters gradually disappeared from Zhang Tianyuan's sight.
A short while later, a voice came from Mako Mori's direction:
They've disappeared!
Sonar can no longer detect the monsters and the Gipsy.
Zhang Tianyuan also opened the system and quickly found Raleigh and Zhang Qing. Both were shown as having the ability to open Spacetime Tunnel, indicating that both were still alive.
Even through a wormhole, the system's connection to them could not be severed.
Zhang Tianyuan said, "They have successfully entered the wormhole; now we just need to wait for good news."
After receiving confirmation, Mako Mori smiled sincerely, but then she remembered her parents who had been killed by the monster, and couldn't help but bite her lip and shed tears.
Seeing Zhang Tianyuan looking over, she quickly wiped away her tears and reported the news to the command center.
The command center had already deduced this information from the underwater monitoring system, and was overjoyed upon receiving confirmation from the site.
Upon hearing this, Taylor immediately hugged Ning Jihua.
Even a politician like him felt genuine joy upon hearing this news.
Old Pan walked to the main seat in the command hall, picked up the microphone, and announced to the entire base, "Just now, with the concerted efforts of all the mechs, our Plan to Nuke the Wormhole has made great progress."
The Gipsy Danger, along with its two pilots, Raleigh Becket and Zhang Qing, has successfully carried the nuclear bomb into the wormhole, into that place we've never set foot in before!
The news caused an uproar throughout the entire base.
The cheers from the crowd were louder than the waves outside the base, and could be heard even outside the base itself.
The news was immediately relayed to the Wei Brothers in San Francisco, who had just disembarked from their mechs and were being interviewed by a group of reporters.
When they heard the news, everyone was stunned and could hardly believe it was true.
Even though they had been looking forward to this moment for a long time...
