The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2294 Victory and Defeat

"It's really awesome!"

Dr. Yao was so surprised that he stood up from his seat, his face full of joy and excitement. His eyes were glued to the large screen in front of him, as if afraid of missing any detail.

Although I knew that the Daiborig was powerful, after all, it was modified from a mature machine and had proven its strength in the battle a few years ago, I did not expect that it would unleash such power in its first battle and first practical application.

With a single punch, he sent the monster flying, and then unleashed a barrage of attacks on it, leaving the monster utterly helpless. This performance was outstanding, far surpassing any previous TPC encounter with a monster.

This performance alone, especially the fierce firepower, is enough to dispel everyone's concerns.

In other words, the Deborah Rigou project was a complete success!

"That's great."

Dr. Yao sighed again, saying that being able to participate in such a large project at nearly seventy years old was a testament to his life's worth.

but
This should be the last one.

As I get older, my energy is not what it used to be. Problems that I could easily figure out in the past now require a lot of brainpower to even get a clue.

You can't deny getting old.

Previously, when Dr. Kisaragi's understanding of the Max propulsion system surpassed his own, he had already deeply understood the principles of "new talents emerge in every generation" and "the new generation surpasses the old." Coupled with differences in ideology, he believed that "technology should serve the well-being of mankind" rather than be applied to military purposes, so he withdrew from the new warship development project department.

His original plan was to retire and return to his hometown, but he was stopped by Makoto Chiba, who informed him of the enormous crisis facing humanity and the Earth. After careful consideration, Dr. Yao decided to contribute his own strength to humanity and the Earth once again.

His original idea that 'Max Propulsion should not be used for military purposes' also changed. He didn't want Max Propulsion to be used for military purposes because he was worried that such a powerful weapon would one day be used to destroy humanity.

As a human being, I understand human beings all too well.

When there is an external enemy, how can we unite as one? But once peace is restored, there will always be people thinking about how to deal with their own people, a phenomenon known as "internal strife".

As they fight, they get carried away and lose their temper, then they stop at nothing to eliminate their opponent.

Machine guns, grenades, or even airplanes, tanks, and cannons can be used at will, but the damage and destruction are limited. However, if a Max cannon is used, its destructive power is extremely strong.

Destroying a city with a single shot is no joke; it's a complete annihilation, blasting the city into a massive crater that can't be restored to use without centuries of natural healing.

This is more terrifying than a nuclear bomb.

But no matter how terrifying it is, it is based on the premise that humanity still exists. If humanity is wiped out, then all the concerns are in vain.

This is also why Dr. Yao ultimately changed his mind, stayed to help with the GW-R project, and even joined the Daiborigu project—he wanted to contribute his own strength to humanity and the Earth.

Now, Deborah Rig's performance proves that his efforts have not been in vain, and Deborah Rig has become an important force in Earth's defense.

Thinking of this, Dr. Yao couldn't help but smile with delight. He lowered his head and said into the microphone, "Attention, the new Max power system has begun charging the weapon. It will take at least half a minute."

"understand!"

Shinjo responded immediately and quickly put away the weapons that were temporarily unusable so as not to affect the movements of the Deviator. Lucia then manipulated the Deviator to stride forward to close the distance with the Cosmic Chip Jomos and engage in close combat with it.

After all, right now, Daiborigu is temporarily unable to use long-range laser weapons, while the cosmic chimera Jomos can still unleash that lightning-web-like long-range attack.

If they weren't attached to each other, the cosmic chimera Jomos could use ranged attacks, while Daiborigu couldn't. Wouldn't that leave him with one less attack method, making him a sitting duck?

Therefore, as soon as the bombing ended, Lucia immediately controlled Daiborig to rush forward. Although the bombing was fierce, neither she nor Xincheng expected that this wave could annihilate the cosmic synthetic beast Jomos, whose entire body was covered with rock skin.

Although the skin of the Sphere-type chimera is made from surface rocks, its defensive power has increased dramatically due to the strength of the Sphere-type chimera. It is even stronger than diamond, the hardest rock on Earth. Even the Thunder Tornado of the Victory Eagle cannot easily break through it. Although the bombardment just now was very powerful, the chances of it destroying the Sphere-type chimera Jomos are not very high.

Therefore, immediately after the bombing ended, Deborah Rigüe assumed a fighting stance to deal with the half-minute gap during which the new Max power system would recharge.

As expected, before the smoke and dust had cleared and the flames were still burning, the sensors of the running Deborah Rigu detected the tremors of the ground and the heavy footsteps coming from the smoke and dust. Moreover, the source of the sound was gradually getting closer. Clearly, Deborah Rigu's conventional weapons had not eliminated him as expected, and had not even been seriously damaged. He was still able to walk towards Deborah Rigu with his strong legs.

"Watch out, the monster's coming!" Shinjo couldn't help but warn.

Lucia remained silent, focusing intently on the swirling smoke, her fists clenched tightly, before suddenly raising her leg and kicking forward.

call!
The massive steel leg, like a pillar supporting the sky, swept forward, creating air currents like hurricanes and tornadoes, stirring up the surrounding dust and clearing a patch of air. This revealed the cosmic synthetic beast, Jomos, which had been hidden in the dust. The monster was now covered in craters and holes from being blasted everywhere.

Clearly, the bombardment just now, while not eliminating it, did cause considerable damage; at least a significant portion of its rocky skin was blasted away.

But
The optical targeting system precisely tracked the feet of the cosmic chimera Jomos. The rocks around where it landed were rapidly melting, looking like ice and snow encountering a hot coal, melting at a visible speed, and then being sucked in by the feet of the cosmic chimera Jomos.

Therefore, a clear line of footprints can be seen behind the cosmic chimera Jomos. It is not only large and deep, but also contains a lot of magma-like red liquid, radiating a scorching heat.

Although surprising, it's not hard to tell that the cosmic chimera Jomos has gained a new function: melting and absorbing rocks to repair itself.

The reason why its function was known so quickly was that in just a short time, many holes on the body of the cosmic chimera Jomos were 'healed' and filled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While repairing itself, the cosmic chimera Jomos swung its long, sharp claws at Deborah Rig, but before it could even touch Deborah Rig, it was kicked in the shoulder, proving the adage 'a longer claw is a stronger claw'.

Having landed a successful blow, Deborah Rig's right foot landed as his right hand swung forward with immense force, striking at the cosmic chimera Jomos. However, the punch failed to land, as Jomos had already regained its footing and immediately swung its claws to block, colliding with Deborah Rig and sparking incredibly fierce flames.

But the next second, the cosmic chimera Jomos staggered back several steps, a fist pressing against its chest, pushing it backward with great force, causing its feet to slide on the ground, like a bulldozer, flattening the uneven and rugged ground.

It was Daiborigu's Steel Fist that struck the cosmic chimera Jomos in the chest with a heavy blow, taking advantage of the moment when Jomos's attention was diverted by the attacking right fist. However, due to the close proximity, it failed to accelerate to supersonic speed, and thus the kinetic energy was insufficient to knock Jomos away. It was only the terrifying thrust generated by the combined operation of twenty super vortex detonation ramjet engines that pushed Jomos backward.

This time, however, it didn't work very well. Not only was the speed insufficient and the kinetic energy lacking, but also because the cosmic chimera Jomos had already taken a punch and knew of its existence. So when it was hit and pushed backward, the cosmic chimera Jomos swung its claws and slammed them hard onto the steel fist that was spraying out with passion, creating a series of intense sparks. It knocked the steel fist away, sending it flying to the side, crashing into the mountainside, and falling down crookedly.

"Okay, there's one more thing to improve."

Dr. Yao's smile froze for a moment, then he wrote down the line 'being attacked may result in the loss of an arm due to damage.' The battlefield is the best test of a weapon, and the problems exposed in battle are also very important.

Just like now, the Steel Fist is very effective at long distances, with enough distance and time to accelerate, so that it has huge kinetic energy when it hits the monster. However, if the distance is too close, the speed and kinetic energy are insufficient, and it cannot cause enough impact to the monster, which will allow the monster to react and destroy the Steel Fist.

This would not only fail to harm the enemy, but would also affect the Iron Fist, and might even prevent it from being attached to the wrist, causing the Deborah Rig to lose a hand and severely impacting its performance.

And indeed, after slapping away the Steel Fist with one hand, the cosmic chimera Jomos stomped its heavy foot on the ground to support its body, no longer retreating, and swung its two fan-like claws to launch a counterattack against Deborah Rig.

call!call!
Each claw is long and sharp, so sharp that it gleams in the sunlight. Every swing produces a sharp, piercing sound that is terrifying to hear, let alone when it actually hits you.

Even though Dai Boligu was made of steel, when hit, it immediately sparked fiercely and was slashed open, revealing the brand-new steel inside.

hum!hum!hum!
An alarm immediately sounded in the cockpit, and the red light indicating damage flashed. The atmosphere inside the cockpit froze instantly, but neither Shinjo nor Lucia showed any panic. They continued to operate the controls in an orderly manner. Lucia, in particular, seemed to be oblivious to everything else, busy with her own tasks.

While being brutally attacked, Deborah suddenly raised his left arm, which had no fist, to block the claws of the cosmic chimera Jomos. Then, the rocket thrusters on his back activated, causing Deborah to suddenly slam forward. His massive and heavy body crashed into Jomos, causing Jomos to lean backward. This time, it wasn't just a stumble; it was being crushed by Deborah.

The two enormous creatures fell to the ground and rolled around in a heap.

Although Deborah Rigoo was also quite large, compared to the snail- and scallop-like cosmic chimera Jomos, Deborah Rigoo could actually be described as 'slender'. Therefore, when both were lying on the ground, Deborah Rigoo was faster than Jomos, and was naturally the first to get up. Then, with a kick, it leaped forward and landed directly on top of Jomos, causing Jomos, who had just been lying on its side and had just raised its upper body slightly, to fall back to the ground.

Instead, Deborah Rig took the opportunity to stand up, raised his right arm high, and recalled the Steel Fist that had fallen to the ground. Although it had been hit by the cosmic chimera Jomos's claw, leaving three visible gashes on its surface, it was not seriously damaged inside and could still fly back to its right wrist. Then it turned around and launched a double punch.

The cosmic chimera Jomos had barely gotten up from the ground and hadn't even stood up properly when Daiborig delivered a boosted version of the Iron Punch.

The rocket thrusters on its back and the rocket engines on its wrists all started up, instantly giving Deborah Rig an incredible speed. Combined with its 60,000-ton weight, this generated terrifying kinetic energy, all of which struck the cosmic chimera Jomos.

Boom!
A deep, muffled bang, as deafening as a primordial giant beating a giant drum in one's ear, caused intense sparks to erupt from the cosmic chimera Jomos, which was sent flying once again.

"New Max power system fully charged," Shinjo announced loudly. "New Max cannon activated."

The cosmic chimera Jomos was in the air, while Deborah Rig opened its mouth, from which a huge cannon barrel extended. Then, the lights on the cannon gradually lit up from the inside out.

As the cosmic chimera Jomos fell to the ground, all the indicator lights on the giant cannon in Deborah Rigoo's mouth lit up, and the muzzle was surrounded by a dazzling, sun-like, seven-colored light.
