Chapter 316 Monster Brawl
Chapter 316 Monster Brawl
Ten times the power of Golza and Melba instantly filled the entire space, completely obscuring Naga Ultraman's vision.
Through the monster's gaze, Kallen watched Naga Ultraman's movements with anticipation, seemingly wanting to see him on guard.
However, Ultraman Naga always maintained a very relaxed demeanor, which made her somewhat cautious. Her control over Golza and Melba was not as decisive as before, and she seemed hesitant and timid.
At this moment, Ultraman Naga's movements suddenly slowed down. Kallen was worried that it was some kind of special ability, so she also stopped and simply surrounded Ultraman Naga.
[You have triggered a quest: Friend or foe?]
[Mission Content: When you accompany Ye Rui to the computer game city, you unexpectedly discover that this seemingly joyful city is actually controlled by a high-level computer called "Karen".]
Its computing power and stealth technology have enabled it to evade TPC's monitoring for an extended period, a capability that is truly remarkable.
However, observing its behavior over a long period of time, apart from this test attack against you, it has not caused any substantial harm to the city or TPC.
Based on comprehensive judgment, the target "Karen" is not a completely uncommunicable and destructive entity, but its core logic identifies you as a huge threat and an unstable variable.
Therefore, you need to demonstrate sufficient strength and attitude to break down their preconceived notions and lay the foundation for potential communication.
[Mission Requirements: Overwhelm "Karen's" defenses and ultimate means, making her realize that she cannot eliminate you by force.]
However, care must be taken to avoid causing devastating damage to "Karen's" core program or the hardware it supports.
[Task Reward: Randomly upgrade one affix, but only affixes below grade A can be upgraded.]
The system's voice came suddenly, but it also pulled Lin Yeming back from his somewhat scattered thoughts. He quickly "browsed" the mission details, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
Is it friend or foe? That's a delicate matter.
Defeat her but don't kill her... Show your strength, leave room for maneuver, and win her over completely? Interesting.
His mind raced, and he instantly grasped the core intent of the mission.
This is not just a simple fight, but a "strategy" to target the psychology and logic of a highly intelligent being like Karen.
'Accept the mission.'
Almost the instant the acceptance was confirmed, another mutation occurred!
Perhaps it was because Lin Yeming was momentarily distracted that Karen's heightened senses detected it, or perhaps she forcibly broke free from the shock and activated some pre-set program.
Golza and Melba clearly changed their tactics this time, no longer charging recklessly, but instead tacitly creating distance while gathering their strength. The heavy footsteps stopped, the piercing cries disappeared, and only the unsettling low-frequency hum of energy gathering remained all around, even the dust on the ruins seemed to freeze.
Naga stood still, seemingly observing the two monsters "charging" with great interest. However, just as the purple light on Golza's forehead reached its most dazzling point, and the orange-red light in Melba's eyes and beak was about to burst forth, his massive body moved—simply sliding half a step to the right with remarkable ease, his body turning slightly to the side.
The movement was so small that it was almost imperceptible on the battlefield of giants tens of meters high. But Karen, who had been locking onto the battlefield using hidden probes and high-altitude sensors, suddenly felt a jolt in her core processor.
"The target shifted approximately 28 meters to the right 0.5 seconds before the attack began, with its torso axis deflected by 7 degrees." The data stream flashed, immediately triggering high-speed calculations. "Recalculate the trajectory... Correct the attack convergence point... Assess the probability of hit..."
The moment the result was generated, Karen felt as if her logic module had been frozen.
"The probability of hitting a vital point has decreased by 41.7%, and the chance of the target being unharmed or only suffering a scratch has increased to 68.9%." She couldn't understand it. Just a half-step shift, no energy burst, no acceleration—how could it almost reverse the battle? Her processing core was operating at full speed, trying to analyze why this tiny change caused such a large tactical vulnerability—was it a prediction of the attack trajectory? Or an adjustment to the orientation of vulnerable parts of the body? Or was there something unusual about that area itself?
A massive number of speculations collide in the database, but time waits for no one.
"Immediately correct the attack coordinates! Adjust the energy output! Cover his current area!" Kallen gave the two virtual monsters the command, trying to fill the gap that had appeared because of Naga's move, which she did not yet fully understand.
But it was too late.
"Roar--!!"
The ten Golza roared in unison, and the deep purple crystals on their foreheads suddenly erupted! Ten thick purple rays, wrapped with exploding arcs of electricity, merged into a destructive torrent, carrying a deafening shriek and scorching heat waves, and blasted straight at the Naga! Wherever the light passed, the air distorted, and the ground debris instantly vaporized.
Almost simultaneously, the Melba swarm in the air emitted a high-pitched shriek. The orange-red energy condensing in their eyes and beaks did not transform into rays, but instead suddenly contracted and then shot out like dozens of supersonic cannonballs! These attacks, known as "Melbanik rays," were far faster than the Golza rays, arriving first and leaving fiery trails as they enveloped the Naga!
In an instant, the space directly in front of the Naga was completely sealed off. Above, the Melbanik rays, swift as a torrential rain, arrived first; closely following behind, were massive waves of ultrasonic rays, wider in range, more powerful, and inescapable. These two deadly attacks intertwined, forming a death net capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth, pouring down upon the silver giant who had just taken a half-step to the side!
Naga remained completely unharmed.
He didn't choose to exchange blows, nor did he attempt to dodge—that might play right into his opponent's hands. Instead, he stood as still as a mountain, his arms crossed in front of his chest, forearms together, and then his palms suddenly shot outwards!
"Om-"
A clear and solid rectangular light blue shield instantly unfolded in front of his arm, standing like a fortress. Fine energy patterns flowed along the edges of the shield, subtly revealing a sense of stability.
"Boom boom boom—!"
The first Melbanik rays, like a series of high-explosive bombs, slammed into the surface of the light shield! Shockwaves and explosions continued unabated, orange-red fireballs exploded on the shield, and scorching flames and shockwaves raged to both sides, tearing up layers of the ground behind the Naga.
But the seemingly thin blue light shield withstood all the attacks, though its surface rippled violently, like boiling water.
Naga's response was clearly well-thought-out—he prioritized intercepting this rapid and intense bombardment.
However, before the ripples on the light shield could subside, a purple tidal wave formed by ten Golza rays converged behind them, roaring in with the power to crush everything!
Faced with such power, Naga made no other move, but simply raised his arms and the rectangular Ultra Shield in his hands transformed into a circular shape.
The ten rays, upon hitting the shield, did not explode. Instead, propelled by the Naga, they shot towards Melba, who was flying in the sky.
Melba: ? ? ?
