Dr. Nezu noticed the light gathering at the muzzle of the Victory Flying Swallow No. 2 cannon and instinctively let out a gasp.

And it was this exclamation that made Lu Xuan realize that his judgment was indeed correct.

The Dr. Nezu in front of me not only knows the identity of that strange bird, but he also likely chose to live in seclusion here to monitor the bird's movements.

"So you do know that strange bird!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Nezu immediately glanced at Lu Xuan warily.

But before Dr. Nezu could ask any further questions, the Victory Flying Swallow II in the sky had already completed its power-up.

boom! ! !

Amidst a deafening roar that could be heard even on the ground, a beam of light pierced the sky and struck the strange bird.

Undoubtedly, under the bombardment of this Texas cannon, half of the strange bird's body disappeared instantly, and the remaining parts also splattered crimson blood.

Then, something shocking happened.

The strange bird, whose body had been partially destroyed, suddenly emitted a golden light.

Orange-yellow energy surged from its body, both replenishing the missing half and granting it even greater power.

"Wow!"

Under the influence of this force, the angry bird let out a long howl and flapped its wings, creating a huge tornado.

Under the raging winds, the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, which was closest to it, began to shake uncontrollably, as if it might crash at any moment.

As for the Victory Flying Swallow II, which is relatively far away?

The raging winds may not have directly affected its balance.

But the strange bird, blinded by rage, wouldn't let its opponent off easily.

Silence! Silence! Silence!

Unlike the previous intermittent energy attacks.

At this moment, the orange-yellow beams of light emanating from the strange bird's beak were as dense as raindrops.

The Victory Flying Swallow II was powerless to dodge the astonishing barrage of bullets and could only watch helplessly as its energy barrier was depleted and visible damage began to appear on its fuselage.

hum!

It's unclear whether it was hit by a cannonball or if the engine was damaged...

No matter how hard Xincheng pulled the control lever of the Victory Flying Swallow II, he couldn't stop his vehicle from plummeting downwards.

To make matters worse, Munakata, who was originally in charge of controlling the weapon system, is now in a semi-comatose state due to the monster bird's fierce attack.

Even if he wanted to jump off the plane to survive, he couldn't do it now.

"command!"

After confirming that Munakata could not be awakened by words, Shinjo did not hesitate to rip off his seatbelt and then struggled to climb toward him during the completely out-of-control crash.

"Hopefully this thing can support the weight of two people..."

Despite having experienced more than one plane crash.

This was the first time Xincheng had encountered such a situation, and he didn't know if the ejection seat could support the weight of two people.

All Xincheng can do now is pray, pray that the manufacturer of this thing didn't cut corners.

However, whether by coincidence or accident, just as Shinjo was about to press the ejection button, the glass barrier in front of the Victory Swallow II was shattered by a dense beam of energy.

Click...

The fleeting beam of energy grazed past Shinjo, leaving a clearly visible bloodstain on his face.

Before he could even marvel at the divine favor bestowed upon him, Shinjo, without a moment's hesitation, decisively pressed the ejection button.

Bang!

The next moment, the electromagnetically enhanced ejection seat instantly launched the two into the sky, preventing the monster bird from delivering a fatal blow to Victory Swallow II.

The target has escaped safely...

[Lowering the level of intervention defense...]

[Reapply for permissions. Do you wish to take direct control of 'Sira the Strange Bird'?]

In a place in the new city where they couldn't be heard, a voice was informing Lu Xuan of their current situation.

No need, this is fine for now.

Slowly loosening his clenched fist behind his back, Lu Xuan shook his head without making a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the mental energy that had gathered around him quickly dissipated and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Right now, Lu Xuan's gaze was fixed on Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Chapter 593 The Strange Bird Sila

"Victory Swallow II has lost contact..."

"No vital signs have been detected from the command center or Xincheng yet!"

Swaying in the gale, Lina, inside the Victory Flying Swallow No. 1, witnessed the tragic crash of her companions, and thus appeared somewhat angry and dazed.

"Don't worry, Xincheng has plenty of experience with plane crashes, there's definitely no danger."

Seeing this, Daigo immediately spoke up to comfort him.

"Our problem now is how to stop this strange bird from moving forward..."

To be fair, Lina truly lived up to her reputation as a top-tier pilot, quickly recovering from her emotions.

However, regaining her composure does not mean that Lina will be able to take control of Victory Swallow 1 again.

After destroying Victory Swallow II, the monster bird quickly turned its attention back to Victory Swallow I.

Swaying in the gale, Victory Flying Swallow No. 1 was like a fledgling bird waiting to die, which could be shot down by the strange bird at any time and follow in the footsteps of Victory Flying Swallow No. 2.

"Wow!"

Things unfolded exactly as Daigo had described.

After confirming that Victory Swallow II had indeed crashed, the strange bird immediately turned its attention back to Victory Swallow I, which was not far away.

"Start that program!"

When Daigo said those words, a look of surprise flashed across Rena's face, but she quickly fell silent.

"Don't hesitate!"

"In order to stop that strange bird, we have no choice but to let it control Victory Swallow No. 1!"

To be honest, if the permission to start that program hadn't been held by Rena, the main pilot, Daigo would probably have already started the program by now.

Even so, Lina was clearly wavering.

"But... Dr. Yao said that he hasn't fully figured out its form yet."

"If we rashly activate that restriction program, who knows if it might lead to even more serious consequences!"

It's no wonder Lina hesitated so much; the procedure was simply too dangerous.

From Lina's perspective, it was even more threatening than the strange bird in front of her.

"Start it!"

Just as Lina was hesitating, Megumi's voice suddenly came through the communication channel.

"That base contains a large amount of Zelda gas. We must stop the monster bird from going there at all costs!"

......................................................................................................

"That strange bird's name...is it Sila?"

Looking up at the angry, strange bird in the sky, Lu Xuan's sudden words made Dr. Nezu's heart skip a beat once again.

This time, his gaze toward Lu Xuan was no longer wary, but rather filled with surprise mixed with fear.

"Who...are you?"

It's one thing to know where you're hiding.

But now the other party even knows the name of that strange bird?

Since his daughter's death, Dr. Nezu has never told anyone that name. How did the other person know that name?

"do you know?"

"Actually, what you think is a secret isn't a secret at all."

Instead of directly answering Dr. Nezu's question, Lu Xuan merely smiled slightly and explained in a low voice.

"You should remember that heavy rain three years ago, right?"

"That torrential rain, which those in the know called the 'Rain of Revelation,' gave birth to many individuals with extraordinary powers around the world."

"Perhaps it's a coincidence, perhaps it's inevitable..."

"That strange bird hidden inside Mount Rausu has actually become one of many supernatural entities."

"Or to be more precise, it was originally a supernatural entity, and the heavy rain only made it awaken further, giving it new power and form."

As he said this, Lu Xuan's gaze remained fixed on the half of Xila's destroyed body.

Golden light completed its body, and its dazzling brilliance, like flames, lingered for a long time...

That was the new power that Sila possessed after the "Rain of Revelation," and it was also the essence of her previous extraordinary regenerative abilities.

Because it's not a regenerative ability at all, but a kind of near-immortality and rebirth ability, which is the same superpower as the legendary phoenix.

Regardless of how Sila became the way she is now, this ability alone has great research value.

"Legend has it that the phoenix can be reborn from the ashes."

"I wonder if this strange bird, born from the Zerda gas, can be reborn from the ashes like a true phoenix?"

The light in his eyes dimmed instantly; Dr. Nezu knew that his denials were no longer effective.

The boy opposite not only knew Sila's name, but also knew everything about her background.

"So you came here for Zelda gas too!"

Although it was a question, Dr. Nezu said it with a very certain tone.

Twenty years ago, a research group led by Dr. Nezu developed a special gas called "Zelda Gas".

This gas possesses terrifying destructive power and continuous flammability; it is said that a small bottle can destroy a city.

However, since the Earth Defense Force disintegrated, TPC has sealed away all of these special gases, and to this day no one knows where they are stored.

The only certainty is that Zildar Gas is one of the prototypes of new energy sources.

Inspired by Zilda gas, subsequent TPC scientists improved the synthesis formula for this gas, which led to the creation of the cheap energy plants on Earth today.

In a sense, the new era ushered in by TPC is built on these cheap energy sources.

"Since you know about Zildar gas, you must also know how terrible it is!"

"The legend that 'a small bottle can destroy a city' is not just a rumor, but a fact that cannot be more real than it seems."

With a dim gaze and a sorrowful expression, Dr. Nezu lowered his head in deep frustration and growled in a low voice that was almost a roar.

"Because it was me who secretly took a small bottle of Zildar gas home to study it..."

"As a result, an accidental leak of Zelda gas led to the destruction of nearly half the city!"

"Even my daughter died in that disaster!"

He destroyed the city he lived in with his own hands, and he killed his own daughter with his own hands...

Long-standing guilt and torment led Dr. Nezu to withdraw from the research on Zelda gas and, carrying a deep sense of remorse, retreated to this place in seclusion.

"Whatever your reason for searching for Zelda gas, please give up!"

"That stuff is not something humans can possess; it's a gas that truly comes from hell."

With a disdainful sneer, Lu Xuan walked straight up to Dr. Nezu and spoke softly in an almost condescending manner.
