Chapter 290 Heading towards the universe
TPC's laboratory

The metal fragment removed from the robot is currently suspended in the magnetic field.

The metal fragment deformed violently, and with a tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound, it was reconstructed into a miniature robot, no bigger than the palm of your hand.

Its single-eyed tungsten filament bulb lit up, turning towards the structural diagram of the [Max Power System] displayed on another screen in the laboratory, emitting a hostile, dim yellow light.

"Destruction...the forbidden power..."

The translation system converts the parsed information into clear speech, which echoes in the silent analysis room.

"They came for the [Max Power System]."

Furthermore, I have traced the source back through their communication links.

As Masaki Keigo spoke, the image on the screen changed again.

"What island is this?!"

Lina's eyes widened as she saw the image on the screen; it was exactly what she had seen while piloting the experimental machine.

"That's right~"

Masaki Keigo nodded, then looked at Professor Yaoba beside him.

"But...why?"

"The culmination of my life's work, humanity's hope for reaching the stars, is actually... a taboo in the eyes of some unknown civilization?"

The expression on Dr. Yao's face changed from confusion to a hint of offended anger.

He walked to the lab bench, picked up the cold metal fragment, his voice trembling.

He couldn't understand how a civilization with such technological capabilities could regard his research findings as taboo!
"Doctor, there's no need to worry about it."

"A technology itself is neither good nor evil; the key lies in the user."

You see, the goal of these things is very clear: the [Max Propulsion System].

As Masaki Keigo spoke, he pulled up another document, which displayed energy analysis charts of Ultraman Tiga and Impaler side by side.

"Both Ultraman use light as their energy source, and judging from their energy levels, the energy contained in the two Ultraman far surpasses that of any of our current warships."

But these guys never tried to cause trouble for Ultraman.

Dr. Yao followed his train of thought, nodded thoughtfully, and relaxed his tense shoulders slightly.

"I understand."

"There's only one possibility... the guy who deployed these robots is a bully who preys on the weak."

They dared not provoke truly powerful beings, so they chose to attack humans, whom they believed they could handle.

"Yes, so now it's our turn to fight back..."

……

TPC Supreme Command Center

"Now that we've confirmed their location and intentions, we can't just sit here and wait to die! I propose we immediately use the [Zepelion Generator] on the space elevator [Buzhou] to give that sky island a good beating! Strike first!"

When Masaki Keigo revealed the analysis results and the coordinates of the machine island, Director Yoshioka slammed his fist on the table and spoke directly.

"Unfortunately, the island's trajectory is very tricky, always hovering outside the range of the [Zepelion Generator]."

Masaki Keigo pulled up a three-dimensional star map. A mechanical island marked with a red dot and a blue dot representing "Buzhou" were not on a straight line at all.

"Therefore, I suggest that the Victory Team pilot the Atdis into space."

Using the ship's onboard Max Propulsion System as a weapon, they launched anti-proton cannons to strike.

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention turned to Dr. Eight-Tailed.

"The energy output of the [Max Power System] is enough to destroy this island."

Dr. Yato's feelings were extremely complicated. Although using the Max system as a weapon was not his original intention, it was the only option available at this time. The Max propulsion system uses the energy generated by the annihilation effect of protons and antiprotons as its power source. If this energy is used to launch the antiprotons used as power, it can be used as an antimatter weapon.

The plan was finalized quickly.

The Victory Team's alarms blared throughout the base, and the team members assembled as quickly as possible, boarding the newly refurbished Atlas.

To ensure everything went smoothly, Masaki Keigo specially arranged for Daigo to accompany him, piloting the Hyuga I to escort the Atlas.

He himself stayed on the ground to deal with the pile of Goblin robots.

Since he knew that these things could combine and self-destruct, he naturally wouldn't pile them up in the hangar like in the original story.

Instead, they found several warehouses to house them separately...

Soon, most of the Goblin was destroyed, leaving only a few samples, which he sent back to the laboratory as materials for research on nanomaterials.

……

Meanwhile, in the depths of space, the Atedis was sailing smoothly, approaching the island at an extremely high speed.

Inside the bridge, Horii was intently focused on the detector screen, his fingers flying across the control panel.

"Arrived at designated coordinates! Target within range of the [Anti-Proton Cannon]!"

"All personnel, proceed to Level 1 combat readiness!"

Deputy Captain Zong Fang's order was steady and forceful.

Through the porthole, the mechanical island came into clear view.

It looks like an ordinary meteorite, with nothing special about it.

"[Anti-proton Cannon], charging begins!"

"Energy is directly supplied by the [Max Power System], with 100% output power!"

Dr. Yao's voice came through the communication channel.

At the bow of the Atdis, a menacingly shaped cannon slowly opened, and eerie blue energy gathered within it, forming a constantly rotating and compressing energy singularity.

"emission!"

At a command, a beam of energy, distorted by light, shot out silently, heading straight for the desolate sky island at near-light speed.

Everyone on the bridge held their breath, waiting for the magnificent fireworks display that would tear stars apart from the annihilation of matter and antimatter.

However, just a moment before the energy beam was about to hit, a sudden change occurred!
A golden ripple spread out without warning in front of the mechanical island, and space, like water with a stone thrown in, twisted and tore violently, slowly opening a spacetime gate that was neither round nor square.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal mechanical dragon, pure white and sculpted as if crafted with the finest artistry, emerged from within.

Its body lines are smooth, and each piece of armor gleams with a warm, ceramic-like luster, adorned with delicate patterns, forming a striking contrast with the rugged mechanical island behind it.

The energy beam from the anti-proton cannon struck its chest squarely.

There was no explosion, no shockwave, and not even a sound.

The energy, powerful enough to destroy an asteroid, vanished without a trace the moment it touched the white dragon armor, like water absorbed by a sponge, without even causing a ripple.

"How can it be?!"

Horii's eyes widened in shock as he stared intently at the screen, the color draining from his face instantly.

He couldn't understand what was happening before his eyes; it completely violated all the physical laws he knew.

"Antimatter weapons... their principle is to annihilate matter, releasing enormous energy! As long as the target is still made of 'matter,' it's impossible... impossible for them to remain unscathed!"

The next moment, the white mechanical dragon seemed to have just noticed the tiny Atdis.

A crimson light flashed in its narrow electronic eyes, and a chilling killing intent pierced the distance, instantly locking onto everyone on the bridge...
