I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 808 The Technological Counterattack?

"Hey?"

Above the sun's 'atmosphere', the younger sister, who was kneeling obediently in the void, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

Yu chuckled softly at his adorable, puzzled look.

Are you curious?

"Um,"

When alone with You, the younger sister wasn't embarrassed to admit it.

"On that battlefield, there was an aura so weak it was almost imperceptible, yet it killed several beings whose spiritual power was far greater than its own."

After all, they are separated by hundreds of millions of kilometers. Although the younger sister's Byakugan is the purest Otsutsuki bloodline, she can only sense traces of chakra at present and has not yet reached the point where she can clearly see everything. Therefore, she is puzzled by the changes at the edge of the battlefield.

"Battle is not a contest of spiritual power."

For this,

Yu is already a well-worn topic.

"Hidden cards, skills, mentality, environment, and restraint—all influence the final outcome."

Otherwise, why would everyone bother with all the hard work of cultivation? Why not just compare who has more spiritual power and chakra, and then the one with less can simply slit their own throat?

In reality, the amount of chakra has never been a standard for judging strength: otherwise, wouldn't Kakashi be the gatekeeper of Jonin? And the Jinchuriki with unlimited chakra wouldn't have fallen to the Akatsuki.

and:

"Equipment is also a very important part."

Yu pointed to the 'mirror' in front of her and explained:
"The 'faint aura' you saw is a humanoid war weapon called 'Gundam,' which combines extraordinary skills and technological knowledge."

It's not hard to understand why they were able to defeat such a powerful enemy.

"Hmm? Oh—"

"This Zaku Gundam is truly impressive!"

In the battlefield outside of near-Earth orbit, KYG's tone during the live broadcast revealed a hint of admiration:

If he were to take action, he could easily defeat those Spartan soldiers; but don't forget, he's a Demon-level being!
According to the information uncovered by "Ghost," the superhuman piloting the "Zaku" Gundam was only a Wolf-level being—a Wolf-level being killing multiple powerful wolves, even with the aid of "equipment," was already quite impressive.

Seeing the soldiers being dispatched.
Not only did they fail to destroy the 'Iron Golem';
Instead, they were killed by the enemy's 'explosive arrows'. In the Spartan camp, several captains rode their Pegasus away from the spaceship.

Tiger-class?
Faced with several Spartan captains charging menacingly,

Char piloted the Zaku II, nimbly flying backwards while firing bursts of fire from his machine gun.

This bullet did not explode, but its speed and power were terrifying: especially in the unobstructed space, it easily reached speeds of several thousand meters per second, which was still as fast as lightning for ordinary superhumans.

"This is the latest small electromagnetic armor-piercing projectile,"

In a secret laboratory beneath the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Renkotsu introduces himself to the others.

"It employs an electric braking loading mechanism, accelerating launch via an electromagnetic coil; relying on the high density and kinetic energy of its tungsten alloy core, it can easily penetrate 1500 mm of homogeneous steel plate."

Calling it a 'machine gun' is less accurate than calling it a small electromagnetic railgun. However:
Before the bone-refining technique could be finished, the Spartan captain, who was the target, tilted his shield at a 65-degree angle; the armor-piercing bullet, which was said to be able to penetrate 1500 mm of homogeneous steel plate, landed on the shield and immediately bounced upwards with a spark.

"Cough cough cough, the opponent is at the Tiger level, it's normal that they were able to block it."

All Char needed to do was awkwardly fake a cough, but on the front lines, Char was facing several Spartan captains charging in!

"Release restrictions, maximum thruster output!"

Facing the oncoming formidable enemy, Char calmly issued orders, his hands moving like butterflies across the control system, causing the massive 'Zaku' Gundam to accelerate suddenly and nimbly; despite flying backwards, it managed to widen the distance between itself and the Spartan captains.

At the same time, a series of electromagnetic armor-piercing rounds hurtled in, and this time they weren't aimed at Captain Spartan, but rather:

Pfft

"Neigh, neigh!!"

A hollow hole suddenly appeared in the front knee of the Pegasus, which couldn't help but raise its head and neigh.

Char Aznable naturally understood the principle of shooting the horse before the rider.

This guy, surround him!

A Spartan captain made several gestures.

The other captains immediately rode their celestial horses to the left and right. They had a numerical advantage and could easily use encirclement tactics.

Meanwhile, these Spartan captains hung their spears and shields on their saddles and then untied their bows and arrows from behind them—the Spartan army didn't just have one move, the 'square formation,' nor were they only armed with spears, swords, and shields: archery was also a required skill.

With the bow drawn and the arrow nocked, the bowstring, made of twisted monster sinews, snapped back suddenly;
Arrows shot toward the red 'steel golem' at speeds no less than those of electromagnetic armor-piercing bullets!

They don't need to kill their opponent; as long as they slow them down, they can surround them and draw the battle into their preferred territory.
Close combat!

The Spartans' tactics were sound, but they overlooked one fact;
With the limitations of the Gundam system removed, Char was able to control this creation, a fusion of extraordinary knowledge and high technology, entirely on his own. He dodged left and right, soared and sank in space—there were no restrictions in space, and he could move freely in all directions, making it almost impossible to encircle him with ordinary means.

Flitting and dodging arrows like a butterfly flitting among flowers, this 'Zaku II' even managed to launch counterattacks from time to time.

Armor-piercing bullets and arrows went back and forth between the two sides!

A chase unfolds in space.

And the result:
Pfft

As the Pegasus were wounded or even killed one by one, the Spartan forces slowed down.

"Oh oh oh~~"

"Red, horned, triple speed!"

In reality, the speed of the 'Zaku II' was only about 30 percent faster than the Pegasus of the Spartan captains; but given KYG's 'journalist' personality, he naturally exaggerated it! Besides, there are no reference points in space, so how much he exaggerates is entirely up to him.

"This Gundam is toying with the enemy like a puppet!"
In this situation

The captain's face turned ashen beneath his helmet.
Sparta were invincible on the battlefield. Apart from the effeminate Athenians who were 'armored' by the gods, which other city-state dared to fight them head-on?

However, now they are being made to look bad by the 'mounted archery' tactic!
It's a disgrace!

Gripping his spear tightly, the captain squeezed his legs together, leaning back on the winged horse in a huge arc.

In the next instant, the captain's body suddenly rebounded! His hard-earned body unleashed terrifying power, and his figure blurred instantly: the spear in his hand shot out!

call out-------

The silver spear shone brightly, and was hurled out like a straight beam of silver light, heading towards the red 'steel golem' that was constantly dodging the arrow attacks.

This spear unleashed the power of a large, high-tech main cannon; if it were inside a planet, it would have already torn apart the sky, split the earth, and cleaved the oceans. In space, although there are no such things as reference points, the power would only be stronger, more intense, and faster!
Bang! ! ! !

The red Gundam, which had been retreating and dodging while firing its 'gun', suddenly leaned back, sending fragments flying.

? ?
This immediately drew countless viewers to the live stream;

They instinctively clenched their fists, or stood up worriedly, and what KYG's camera showed was:
"it is good!"

"It's blocked,"

"Haha, as expected of the sacred tree."

Amidst the suppressed cheers of countless people, Renkotsu's expression relaxed in the underground laboratory of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Indeed, in that space battlefield, a spear was stuck in a huge shield: it looked like a normal shield with a toothpick stuck in it.

If it weren't for the fact that this 'toothpick' was blurred due to high-speed vibration, it would be like this.

That was close!

As the opponent assumed a throwing stance, the alert Char suddenly turned to the side, using the long shield on his left arm to protect himself.

The results proved that his caution was necessary.

The composite armor on the shield shattered, demonstrating the power of the spear!

Even the 70-ton Zaku II was thrown backward, demonstrating the terrifying force of its impact: this was only because the shield's surface was covered with a superb multilayered steel plate and cushioning material, which dispersed some of the impact force during the explosion.

If the machine is hit, it will definitely cause enormous damage.

The spear slipped from his hand, and he lost his weapon;

With his mount damaged by the enemy, the Spartan captain's tense face now showed helplessness.

His last desperate attempt was thwarted, and what followed was a one-sided massacre: with his mobility, the opponent could easily outmaneuver him until he was dead!
This is the essence of 'mounted archery': I can only hit you, but you can't fight back.

Therefore, a good 'mount' has always been a warrior's favorite.

Fortunately, they were not fighting alone.

Tap tap tap,

The sound of hooves echoed through the void as chariots sped towards them.

These are reinforcements coming to meet them, signifying that the Spartans have conceded defeat on this battlefield!
"too strong!!"

"What kind of weapon is this? A large robot?"

"It's called Gundam, short for 'Mobile Suit,' meaning a tactical general-purpose space robot."

Seeing this, countless people on the Blue-White Planet were thrilled!
This massive robot, named 'Zaku Gundam,' single-handedly repelled an entire superhuman army? How could anyone not be excited and thrilled?

After all, the biggest characteristic of technological creations is mass production after the technology matures!

Many people have already started to fantasize.
A scene of countless Zaku Gundams launching an attack.

"If only I could drive..."

Streets and alleys, in every country, men and women, young and old;

Almost simultaneously, countless such words of longing rang out!

"Dream!"

Before they could finish speaking, their relatives and companions began to criticize them.

"So far, the island nation has only sent one, which shows how precious this kind of 'Gundam' is."

Even when selecting drivers, it's absolutely a matter of choosing the best of the best; it's not something that can be done lightly. But—

Looking at that red figure standing proudly in space, countless people were filled with excitement!
Especially those who are 'older', in their thirties.

how many years?

Humans once looked down on the planet with their technology, considering themselves the most intelligent of all beings.

However, with the return of superhuman power, this pride is like a statue on the beach;

Vanished without a trace under wave after wave.

now--

"They're back! They're all back! Waaaaah~~"

Watching that 'technological creation' defeat a Spartan army;

Countless 30-something "old Deng"s wept with joy, drawing stares from the young people around them.

What's there to get excited about?

A tiger-level strength wouldn't affect the outcome of the battle. However:
Even young people of the 'new era' are powerless against such massive metal creations.

If only I could drive.
