Chapter Twenty-Three: A Sudden Change
Hiri saw Rentaro, Ranhara Yanzhu and Leech Hina, the three of them looking at the screen in a cold sweat, and under the terrifying appearance of Scorpio was extremely powerful and incomparably powerful. They can clearly see through the footage that the oversized intestines that have invaded Tokyo Bay are being violently attacked, with missiles and torpedo salvos, and even inhumane gas bombs being used!
But the missiles and torpedoes caused only minor damage to it, and it regenerated in an instant. The gas bomb uses VX gas, which is claimed to kill all living things, but Scorpio only needs a few seconds to analyze the components of the inhaled poison gas and create antibodies in the body.
According to Tendo Mugen's previous explanation, all conventional attacks have lost their meaning in front of Scorpio in Stage 5, and the only way to kill it is to shoot a cannonball made of aquarium metal into the opponent's head and directly blow up its brain, and all this is achieved by this machine that has been abandoned for 10 years.
Compared with the tension of the three of them, Yingluo observed Scorpio with interest, and it was the first time she had seen a weapon made by the inhibition force with a creature as a template, probably because it was inhuman, and the inhibition did not take into account the aesthetics of human beings at all, so its work this time focused on one word: ugly!
If it is only huge and acceptable when they first have the genetic factors of a single species, then as these protozoans absorb the genetic factors of more species and gradually evolve from the lower stage to the advanced stage, they not only gain strong combat effectiveness, but also have an indescribable strange appearance, which can make people go crazy with just a glance.
"So this time the inhibition force has created a bunch of strange weapons that are 'uglier and stronger'?" Yingluo twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the Scorpio on the screen, and said helplessly: "If you are ugly like this, how many genes of creatures should be contained in your body!"
(What stage are you in front of the screen?)
At the same time, the computer-synthesized artificial female voice sounded again: "The target has been locked, the weapon is charging, there are still 11 seconds before firing, 10 ...... 9…… 8……”
"Rentaro, everything you can have already done has been done!" Tendo Kigen's voice was weak, presumably she was also under great pressure.
"Good work, Sister Kigen. Rentaro squeezed Lanyuan Noonzhu's hand, let out a long breath, and said softly, "Now the rest ...... Probably just prayer!"
The ladder is more than fifty kilometers away from Scorpio, and in this world where it is enough to be called an absolute sniper as long as it can hit a target a kilometer away, even if you use a supercomputer to correct the trajectory, you dare not guarantee a 100% hit rate. Wind, gravity, tides, and even the rotation of the Earth can affect the result, and an error of tens of decimal places is enough to make a bullet deviate by 100 meters.
Rentaro looked at the energy icon in the upper right corner, the sluggish pillar sign also indicated that they didn't have a chance to fire a second shot, after all, it was ten years ago, and being able to use it was already a miracle in itself, and it couldn't be too demanding.
The countdown of the artificial female voice continues: "7...... 6…… 5……”
A smile appeared on the corner of Yingluo's mouth, she had clearly felt the fluctuations from the information modification, and the cannonballs of the Heavenly Ladder were given the results of "Sure Hit" and "Armor Breaking", which was undoubtedly the handiwork of a third-party god.
It seems that the other party is still helpless at the last moment, and by tracing the source of information in reverse, the location of the other party is accurately mapped in Yingluo's mind, just above 10,000 meters in the air.
There was no point in staying here any longer, Yingluo disappeared from the spot, and the next moment she had already appeared at an altitude of 10,000 meters, not far in front of her, it was the long-haired girl who looked a little like herself.
Neither of them spoke, but focused on the results below. Yingluo, as a party with a request, can only wait with peace of mind in order to show his kindness, but fortunately, it is not too long before the fire, so there is no need to worry.
“4…… 3…… 2......" At the moment when the result was about to be born, the artificial female voice suddenly stuck, made a few rustling sounds, and then the red light turned on, and said in a dull tone: "The target is lost, start to recorrect!"
Lost target? Lotus Taro paused for a moment, and the huge Scorpio constellation on the screen was slowly advancing under artillery fire, no matter how you look at it, it can't be related to the word "lost", right?
Tiantong Mugen's voice rang from the mobile phone, revealing a sense of urgency: "Rentaro, what's going on over there, why did our contact with the ladder suddenly be cut off?"
"Contact...... Interruption?" Rentaro looked at the constantly changing numbers on the screen and the joystick that moved on his own, and his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat: "If it's not for you to control it, then who is controlling the ladder now!?"
"Drop, the target has been re-locked!"
Rentaro looked up, and the picture on the screen made his face pale, it was not a Scorpio at all, but the former outer area, which is now a fairyland!
The pale blue transparent barrier glows in the night, and you can see the majestic palace and the gurgling water behind it, everything is still so quiet and peaceful, but after a few seconds, it will turn into a scorched earth!
There are tens of thousands of children there!
Rentaro hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the joystick, but humans alone could not fight against machines. Although it is a human creation, it has rebelled against its own creator, and in its rebellion and arrogance, this machine is almost the same as humans!
"Damn, stop me, you're aiming at the wrong point!" Rentaro shouted.
But the artificial female voice was unmoved: "Launch!"
The dazzling light pierced the night sky, like a newborn sun, and a powerful electric current poured into an orbit of 1.5 kilometers long, making a crackling sound, and under the action of the magnetic field, a cannonball with a diameter of 800 millimeters shot out at a sub-light speed, and it didn't even take a thousandth of a second before it crashed into the barrier of the fairyland!
The bright light erupted again, as if it had punctured a bubble, and the barrier shattered. It stands to reason that a mortal cannonball would never be able to break through the barrier set up by Athena, but this cannonball was given the result of a certain hit and armor piercing by another god, and the indestructible shield was superior to the strongest spear, so this result was not unexpected.
In the next second, Athena was already wearing a god robe in front of the cannonball, and she held the shield of Aegis and firmly resisted the cannonball. But as soon as she fought, she was caught off guard, the energy contained in the cannonball was very weird, the energy of chaos and order were entangled with each other, but it was like nuclear fusion to produce unimaginable power, with her divine power, there was a vague feeling of irresistibility.
The concept of hit and armor piercing was consumed by the time the barrier was broken, and Athena was not unable to dodge, but she didn't because there were tens of thousands of children behind her.
Unlike other Greek gods, Athena takes her promise very seriously, and since she has become the patron saint of her children, she will definitely protect it to the end, just as she did when she protected Athens!
Under the tremendous pressure, Athena also burst out of power, and golden light rose from her, and the skirt of the god's robe dragged to the ground, the wings behind her back obscured the sky. The shield of Aegis turned slightly, and the cannonball and shield made an unpleasant grinding sound, and flew into the sky with a swish, through the clouds, and into the universe.
The light dimmed, and Athena fell to the ground, her face full of pain, and some of the foreign energy entered her body, if it was a period of total victory, this level of combat would not be enough to hurt her, but she was pregnant now. Although the god's body was extremely strong, she couldn't get out of it under the attack of another god, and a sharp pain came from her stomach, and cold sweat slipped down her thin chin.
"Mom!"
Hope and Future ran over, with an expression of urgency about to cry, and I didn't know what to do.
"Didn't you go back to the house and rest......? Coming out?" asked Athena, forcing a smile.
"Mom is like this, how can we sleep!" Future has tears in his eyes, and hope has already cried.
"It's really disobedient. Athena didn't mean to be angry, and this heartfelt concern made her very happy. She stood up with the help of the two girls, and glanced up at the sky, Yingluo and the god were standing together in full swing, and now it seemed that they were evenly matched, and she didn't have to worry too much.
"It will take five or six minutes to reopen the barrier, Matsuzaki, in the meantime the uninvited guests will be handed over to you!" Athena said, starting to reconstruct the barrier, something that could have been achieved in an instant, but with the interference of external energy, it became very difficult. Athena said for five or six minutes, still after she gave up on treating herself and allowed the external energy to destroy her body.
"Don't worry, even if you fight for my life, I will buy you the time you need!" Although Matsuzaki was endowed with young and healthy internal organs by Athena, he still looked like an old man, at the moment he was covered with all kinds of weapons, long guns and short cannons, he looked at a rotary machine gun on his shoulder, and walked outside like a terminator, where countless figures flickered, and occasionally he could see the light points emitted by the infrared sight, as if a heavily armed army was about to storm in.
Matsuzaki was stopped, Kanzaki Ziden was standing in front of him, and behind her, there were nearly a hundred figures, all of them were former policemen, or the top part of the IP ranking.
"Although life was not good before, thanks to him, we are exceptionally good at fighting. Kanzaki Ziden said: "You can also understand it, although we yearn for a peaceful life, but sometimes, people like us will always have inexplicable itchy hands." ”
"Ahem. Matsuzaki coughed twice: "We won't have a combat mission here." ”
"It's not a battle, it's a protection!" Kanzaki Ziden said seriously: "Defending your homeland and saving your relatives is not a task, but a responsibility!"
"I don't seem to have anything to say. Matsuzaki touched his nose: "Okay, we can fight side by side!"
"It's a pity that I don't have this opportunity!" Kanzaki Ziden took a tactical dagger from him and said with a smile, "You are also the relative we want to protect!"
"Uh......" Matsuzaki froze in place, and before he could refute, another girl stepped forward, snatched the rotary machine gun he was carrying, and said with a grin: "As an old man, aren't you afraid of flashing to your waist with such a heavy thing?"
The girls stepped forward one by one and took away the equipment on his body, which was full of weapons, and after being distributed, everyone did not have a lot of things in their hands.
Responsibility is like this, when you are alone, it will be extremely heavy, and when everyone has responsibility, it will become very easy.
It's simple, but it's not easy to do.
Kanzaki Zidian looked around at everyone, and the current surrounded her: "Everyone, go up, defend our homeland!"
Everyone raised their hands in the air: "Oh!"
The Lori Legion disappeared into the night, and soon there were gunshots and shouts, Matsuzaki didn't stay where he was for long, and soon returned to his post, and many children were frightened by the sudden change, and his job was to make them no longer afraid.
Athena is trying to build a barrier, Eiro is also fighting against opponents, and everyone has their own responsibilities and does what they are supposed to do, but Satomi Rentaro in the central computer room is dead-faced.
The ladder is controlled by an unknown person, and the only cannonball is used to break the barrier of the fairyland, but Scorpio is still showing off its power in Tokyo Bay, and it is getting closer and closer to the megalith, and it will not be long before it officially enters the Tokyo area.
All...... It's all over.
