Chapter 67 The Wanderer and Shesha
The fifth team quickly retreated two kilometers. Many soldiers of the supporting company and the military and police forces around them had not even had time to completely evacuate to a safe area. The railgun on the Zhuhuo No. 1 had already burst into a blazing light, and the shells fell like raindrops, but when they hit the ground, they only raised dust all over the sky, and did not explode immediately.
It was as if the railgun had not fired grenades just now, but iron lumps.
But Mikael knew that things were not simple. They fired special ground-penetrating grenades that could penetrate more than ten meters into the ground and cause a violent explosion. This depth naturally could not cause harm to Shesha, but just like a depth charge would not hit a submarine and explode, the purpose of these ground-penetrating grenades was just to draw Shesha out from the ground.
Suddenly, Mikael felt a vibration under his feet, and then, the central urban area in front of him, which was nearly ten kilometers in radius and was the most proud of Canghai City, was gently lifted up like a piece of paper.
Countless ruins of tall buildings were thrown into the air wantonly, and then fell one after another.
Mikael quickly stretched out his hand to build a large barrier, and the next second, the fragments of the ruins fell on the heads of the fifth team.
"*!"
He heard Himiko yelled, but fortunately he reacted in time and protected all the soldiers of the fifth team and the support company, so that there was no accidental injury.
Mobius held the phone and typed frantically, she was probably greeting something.
"Be careful!" Mikael reminded loudly.
The trembling of the ground had not stopped yet, and Mikael had just spread his palm on the ground when he changed his color:
"It's coming!"
If you ignore the casualties that almost caused to friendly forces, the attack of the Fire Chaser No. 1 obviously achieved the intended goal. The ruins of the tall buildings on both sides shook violently, as if they would fall down in the next second. The streets in the distance also shook and heard a "rustling" sound similar to the friction between metal and the ground. A large amount of smoke rolled up by the explosion rolled back to the fifth team along the narrow street.
Himiko immediately turned on the strong flashlight, but found that a huge black shadow had already rushed in front of everyone under the cover of smoke and darkness!
"Hiss!"
The first thing to emerge from the smoke was a black snake tongue as big as an adult's body, and then a pair of emerald green pupils appeared in the dust.
Mobius saw this scene as soon as she raised her head. When their eyes met, she suddenly felt a flash of light in her mind, but before she could see what the light was, a chill rose from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her skin wrinkled along the way, and static electricity was everywhere.
"Hah!" Flames ignited on Surtel, but the other two huge arms had already risen from the ground.
A mechanical palm grasped the huge snake head, and the other mechanical arm slapped the snake body from the side, stopping Shesha's charge abruptly.
Covered by dust, Mikael could only hear the continuous "rumbling" sound, and then more dust spread, completely covering the night sky. He could only vaguely see the orbital gun muzzle on the Chaser No. 1 - it was probably the snake's tail sweeping across a fan shape, easily destroying several blocks. Of course, these blocks must have been reduced to ruins in the previous bombardment.
"Tsk!" He groaned, and then his whole body rose up, reaching a height of 80 meters in an instant. At the same time, more and more blue lines outlined the prototype of a behemoth.
It was a giant mecha with a total height of nearly 100 meters. Unlike the bulky mecha used by the military and police now, it had slender limbs and torso. Although the body was in a translucent and unreal state, the cold light of the metal could still be felt.
The turbine engine on the chest started to rotate, turning faster and faster, and its roar still completely overwhelmed the Chaser No. 1 in the air.
It controlled the head of the giant snake that was hundreds of meters long with both hands, and brought half of the snake body into the air. At first glance, it seemed that it was not that it was too big for Shesha, but that the entire city and humans were too small - it really seemed that one person and one snake were fighting, and the surrounding city ruins were just fake models built by the special effects company.
"What...what is this..." The light blue fluorescent light illuminated the entire night. Himiko looked at the mecha blocking her and the fifth team, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
A similar scene also happened in Irkune City, but this time, she had no way to help him hide it.
Mikael looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. It would take another half a minute for the energy of the turbine engine to be transmitted to the limbs of the mecha so that it could exert its full combat power.
"Finally you are out - Wanderer." He was very satisfied with this mecha that was based on the existence in his memory and constructed with the technology of modern civilization - no matter in appearance, weapons or control methods, it is the same as in his memory, and because someone's brain capacity is far beyond that of ordinary people, he can drive it alone.
The only drawback is probably that the original operating system is retained. While it is convenient to control, the injuries suffered by the mecha will be fed back to Mikael in the form of neuralgia.
What's more coincidental is that even the opponent that Wanderer is going to face is also a silicon-based creature.
The upper body has been preheated. Mikael clenched his left fist, which corresponds to Wanderer's clenched left hand. The thruster at the wrist sprayed blue and white flames, hitting the snake hard, splashing the black scales.
Shesha was hit hard, and his whole body twisted like a convulsion. The thick snake tail whipped everywhere, making the already broken city even more corrupt.
The wanderer obviously couldn't control its body with just one hand. As a last resort, Mikael had to give up the attack of his left fist and used his fist as a claw to try to hold Shesha's body.
But he soon found that the snake's body was too thick to be held stably. Instead of doing so, he simply went a step further and clamped Shesha's body with the wanderer's arms and armpits, and then dragged it towards the river with big strides.
Shesha continued to struggle, and a large amount of black mud began to flow out from the gaps between its scales. Mikael instantly felt that the snake in his arms began to become slippery.
But the more fatal thing was still to come. The black mud seeped into the gaps between the wanderer's joints, and the electric snakes slithered and instantly crawled all over the wanderer's body. Although it didn't paralyze him, Mikael also clearly felt that the wanderer's movements began to become slow and stiff.
"I ****" Mikael felt very uncomfortable. He felt the deep malice of this world-the Herrscher of the Void, the Herrscher of Thunder... Why was he, the first Herrscher, always restrained in his ability!
Shesha felt the pressure on his body eased, and he quickly wrapped his lower body around the wanderer and kept tightening.
"Crack, crack", the metal was squeezed continuously, producing a slight deformation, but the pain was reflected on Mikael himself, and he directly groaned.
Mikael let go of the wanderer's right hand, clenched his fist, and hammered Shesha's head from top to bottom. Shesha was hit and let out a sharp whine, but he took advantage of the gap when Mikael closed his fist and bit the wanderer's right arm.
A large amount of black mud poured into the wanderer's right arm through Shesha's fangs. The virtual cockpit where Mikael was located lit up a red light warning. In just two or three seconds, the part of the screen that symbolized the right arm was first marked red, and then turned black. Mikael only felt his right hand cold and lost consciousness, as if this arm did not exist at all.
"I unilaterally declare the Pacific Rim Plan a failure..."
Mikael silently sentenced the wanderer to death in his heart.
But the battle is not over yet. If the Wanderer is simply recreated, it would be too unfair to Mikael's efforts in the past few months.
The connection between the Wanderer's right arm and shoulder suddenly broke, and a new mechanical arm stretched out. At the same time, the speed of the turbine engine almost reached the limit. Dozens of mechanical arms grew out of thin air from behind the Wanderer, forming a semicircular fan, helping it to break free from Shesha's entanglement.
"I'm sorry, magic modification is the kingly way!"
The Wanderer fell forward, and the entire city was concave inward with the place where it fell as the center. It pressed Shesha under it, and the mechanical arms behind it kept beating the snake body violently.
Scales flew everywhere, and black mud also overflowed, covering half of the Wanderer's body, making its movements slower and slower.
Almost at the same time, Shesha stopped wailing, and the Wanderer's fist also stopped in mid-air.
The blue light gradually dissipated, leaving only the silver-haired boy standing on the snake head.
Mikael panted and walked to the green snake pupil that was only one floor high. Now, the pupil gradually became dilated, reflecting the continuous loss of vitality.
Surtl appeared in Mikael's hand, and the sword body quickly ignited with flames. He held the greatsword upright at his waist, and then stabbed it fiercely into Shesha's eyeball covered with black mud.
The flames touched the "black mud"-like lightning, and instantly blew a huge gap in Shesha's head. Mikael was also shocked by the aftermath and flew backwards, just falling into the viewing beach beside the river.
"It's okay... at least I'm not as embarrassed as in Luluye." Mikael silently gave himself a score, looking across the river at East City, and by the way, using the ubiquitous Honkai energy in the air to restore his physical strength.
Facts have proved that the consumption and return of forcibly activating the second Herrscher core are really somewhat disproportionate. Remember when he was in Luluye, every time he used a space jump within the visual distance, he almost consumed all the Honkai energy. With the same amount of Honkai energy, there is still a little surplus after constructing a modified version of the Wanderer and fighting a battle.
Of course, in certain circumstances, the role of the Second Herrscher Core is irreplaceable, but it cannot make up for Mikael's lack of output ability.
"It would be great if I could touch the Third Herrscher Core... just touch it once. No, it's impossible to use a fake Third Herrscher Core to fight the Third Herrscher."
Just as he was thinking about this, a touch of pink suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.
It was a crystal arrow, it flew high into the sky, exploded suddenly, and then turned into a huge dome, covering half of the East City.
"Aili!"
