Following Takagi Toneri's gaze, Saki, dressed in a long black dress, slowly walked out from the army of mechanical androids, like a princess from another planet.
Behind Saki, Gedi followed closely, his human-like eyes revealing a mixture of curiosity and eagerness.
......................................................................................................
"When...did that guy come out?"
Standing at the rear of the mechanical army, Lu Xuan stared in disbelief at Saki and Gedi, who had suddenly appeared.
Lu Xuan is not an all-knowing superman.
He hadn't paid attention to Saki and Gedi's whereabouts during the previous battle, so he didn't know when they had sneaked out through the back door.
The only certainty is that Saki was able to escape only because of Gedi's protection.
"What a stupid dog! It got fooled so easily!"
Just as Lu Xuan was pondering what excuse Saki had used to lure Gedi out, he saw a disheveled Daigo staggering out of the stairwell.
“Ahem… huh…”
"I almost died in there..."
Coughing and panting, Daigo was clearly exhausted from the previous battle.
At the moment the sniper pulled the trigger, Daigo even felt like he was already dead.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the ancient genes within Daigo's body awakened once more, unleashing an almost unbelievable power.
At that moment, Daigo felt as if time around him had slowed down.
The movement of air, the enemy's breathing, the rapidly approaching lasers, the sound of walls collapsing...
As if divinely aware of everything around him, Daigo quickly threw himself to the ground upon realizing the danger, thus miraculously avoiding the fatal shot.
Then, when time began to flow again, Daigo, now aware of his situation, raised his gun and fired once more.
Before the enemy could react.
Three shots hit the armor on his head in quick succession, sending the bullets straight into his brain.
—He who kills will be killed by others!
When Daigo decided to join Lu Xuan in fighting against this group of former Earth Defense Force members, he had already made full mental preparations.
Since these former Earth Defense Force members chose to attack their group...
All that unnecessary hesitation and kindness is cruelty to oneself and one's companions.
Daigo was just a student who had never seen the world, but he wasn't the kind of pedantic, hopeless fool.
A young but determined warrior is gradually growing up in this trial of blood and fire.
This is exactly the result that Lu Xuan wanted to see.
"You're too slow. It's just two enemies."
Lu Xuan, who was keeping a close eye on Daigo, naturally knew what had happened to him, but he didn't show it.
"I'm different from you; I'm just an ordinary person!"
He rarely complained, and Daigo even emphasized the word "that's all".
Even after experiencing the Shinjuku Incident and the Giant Statue Incident, this kind of life-or-death crisis was still too exciting for Daigo.
"From the moment you took the initiative to approach me, you were no longer associated with the word 'ordinary person'."
Lu Xuan glanced at Daigo briefly before turning his gaze back to Saki and Gedi not far away.
"How should we handle this now?"
Knowing that arguing with Lu Xuan, an alien, was pointless, Daigo also looked towards the front of the hotel.
However, his gaze was not on Saki and Gedi, but on the crashed drones and the army of mechanical androids.
With such a large commotion and firefight, even if the local government pretends to be ignorant, they must have already reported the situation to higher authorities and requested support.
If Daigo remembers correctly, there is a TPC Americas branch stationed not far from here.
"It's just some scrap metal. Let whoever wants to clean it up take care of it!"
They clearly don't take the TPC Americas branch's troops seriously.
As Lu Xuan said this, his expression gradually became serious.
"Compared to those things, it seems we have an even bigger problem to deal with."
Upon hearing the sound, Daigo noticed a faint tremor coming from afar, as if it were a sign of an impending earthquake.
"What... happened?"
Chapter 67 Georzak, the Earth Shark (Bonus Chapter, Please Read On!)
Let's rewind to one minute ago.
That is, when Saki, surrounded by numerous mechanical creatures, gradually approached Takagi Toneri.
"It's been a long time, Sheren."
Through the lowered car window, Saki greeted him in an indescribable tone.
"To be precise, she disappeared in 89 years and 7 months, Sister Saki."
With great effort, Takagi Toneri, his face aged, struggled to support himself on the chair beside him, trying his best to preserve his last shred of dignity.
"You're still exactly the same as you were when you were a child..."
"Actually, it's a blessing not to remember some things too clearly."
Faced with Saki's almost admonitory words, the old man, whose life was nearing its end, laughed out of character.
"Haha, that's the difference between long-lived and short-lived species."
“Sister Saki, you have lived for too long, experienced too many things, and gone through too many partings, so you have learned to forget.”
“But I’m different. I hate the feeling of being forgotten, and I don’t want to forget anything anymore.”
After a slight pause, Takagi Toneri's voice and tone became subdued.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, even if this is the last time..."
Before he could finish speaking, a faint vibration came from afar, along with Takagi Toneri's increasingly rapid breathing.
"You, Sheren?"
Surprise, astonishment, disappointment...
A mix of complex emotions welled up at that moment, making Saki's expression exceptionally complicated.
"Saki-neechan, let's go together this time!"
......................................................................................................
"Saki-neechan, let's go together this time!"
When Takagi Toneri said those words, Gedi, who had been following Saki, suddenly looked up and stared seriously in the direction from which the tremor had originated.
Rumble…
It sounded like the harbinger of an impending earthquake, or like the sound of the earth cracking open...
A massive dorsal fin, resembling a giant axe, cleaved through the earth, emerging from the sea onto the surface.
The tough concrete surface could not stop its progress, and the buildings and vehicles along the way were torn apart the moment they hit the dorsal fin.
Most importantly, as the giant dorsal fin moved from the ocean to the land, a massive electromagnetic pulse suddenly spread outwards.
Click...
Wherever the invisible electromagnetic pulse passes, high-voltage circuits become overloaded, and delicate electronic components are rendered unusable in the instantaneous voltage transformation of thousands of volts.
Looking down from the sky above Amami City.
The city streets were dimmed in large sections, and all electrical equipment sparked brilliantly.
This is a high-intensity, high-power strategic electromagnetic pulse attack—EMP!
The previously formidable army of mechanical bionics instantly lost its ability to move the moment it came into contact with the EMP electromagnetic pulse, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
The mechanical falcon and mechanical dragonfly plummeted from the sky, while the mechanical dog and mechanical cheetah exploded with electronic sparks...
With a single strike, the mechanical bionic army summoned by Lu Xuan was completely wiped out.
"Gadget!"
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan's shout reached Gaddy's ears.
The next moment, the collar around Gedi's neck began to glow faintly, and a familiar power surged outward from its body.
That was an ancient power from 30 million years ago, the power of the legendary Komainu monster.
"Woof... Awooo!"
The barking of the dog gradually turned into howling of the wolf, and Gedi's size continued to expand and grow larger in the process.
In the blink of an eye, the Chinese rural dog disappeared, replaced by a giant creature that was 53 meters tall and weighed 48,000 tons.
boom!
As Gedi stood upright, he simply took a step forward, leaving a clearly visible, enormous footprint on the wide street.
"Ouch!"
Compared to Gedi during his time in the underground temple, Gedi, who has been carefully raised by Daigo, is clearly more energetic.
In particular, the energy timer on his chest constantly emits profound energy fluctuations, proving Gedi's current state.
As a monster native to Earth, the timer on Gedi's chest is not a naturally occurring organ, but rather forcibly implanted into its body by an ancient civilization.
Therefore, compared to most giants, the energy timer on Gedi's chest cannot be considered a symbol of his endurance.
The energy timer on Gedi's chest will only start flashing when he suffers a devastating blow.
Under normal circumstances, the energy timer on Gedi's chest only serves as part of his enhanced organs, maximizing his original physical abilities and strength.
Like now...
boom! boom! boom!
Amidst a series of violent roars, Gedi, who was running at top speed, crashed headfirst into the huge dorsal fin, bringing it to a stop in an almost unbelievable manner.
Immediately afterwards, Gaddy, with his bulging arm muscles, suddenly exerted force, attempting to pull the owner of the dorsal fin out of the ground by himself.
clack clack...
So when Gedi's enormous force acted on the dorsal fin, it produced a series of crisp mechanical friction sounds.
The giant beast lurking in the ground was clearly aware of its impending danger.
In its struggle, it actually shattered the concrete pavement, revealing its thorny spines.
"Ouch!"
Seeing this, Gedi excitedly exerted his strength again, determined to completely expose it to the sight of everyone on the ground.
It must be admitted that Gedi, as an ancient monster that existed 30 million years ago, is far more powerful than any ordinary monster in terms of sheer brute force.
Therefore, the stalemate lasted for less than ten seconds.
The giant beast lurking underground was eventually dragged to the surface by Gedi's brute force.
"Ouch!"
Only then did the owner of the dorsal fin reveal his true identity.
Regardless of its ferocious appearance and thorny skin, the prototype of this behemoth is clearly a shark.
Besides its iconic dorsal fin, its pectoral fins on both sides also seem to have undergone some degree of specialization, possessing a crawling posture almost like that of a land animal.
From a distance, it looks like a giant shark that is capable of both amphibious operations.
Considering the speed and power with which it traversed underground, perhaps naming it "Earth Shark" would be more appropriate.
Of course, Gedi didn't care about any of that.
The battle thirty million years ago had shown Gedi too many strange creatures; a mere shark that could burrow underground was nothing to surprise him.
