I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 273 One Slash Cuts Through the River!

Hikaru Uchiha could glean some of the expressions on the faces of the people aboard the "Moniach" from the electronic screen.

But at this moment.

Her attention was mostly focused on Samson, and she paid no attention to the actions of those people.

Of course, if these people in Kassel are foolish enough to take the initiative to attack her, then things might be a different story.

"This guy... he's actually pretty tough."

Samson was the most outstanding of the three generations of dragons. In the original storyline of Dragon Clan, it not only killed Ye Sheng and Jiu De Ya Ji, but also almost drove Mans and others to the brink of death. At that time, Professor Mans also launched a large number of micro-bombs, but they could hardly cause any damage to it. In the end, it was only with the help of the Three Gorges Dam's locks that it was severely damaged and successfully escaped.

And now...

The miniature missiles from the Dragon Ball world are clearly more powerful than those equipped on the "Moniach".

The two volleys of fire had already inflicted extremely serious damage on Samson. As the creature thrashed and thrashed about, clumps of dark red blood could be seen spreading across the water's surface, only to be quickly evaporated by the bursting flames, leaving behind a strong, pungent smell of blood.

even so.

The creature remained quite active, roaring loudly as it attempted to launch another counterattack.

However, under the barrage of machine gun fire, it dared not surface easily for a while, but swam quickly underwater, leaving behind triangular water lines like those of a shark.

high in the air.

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the ammunition count displayed on the right-hand screen and frowned.

One of the main drawbacks of her "Strike Freedom" is its limited ammunition capacity.

—Eight thousand machine gun bullets and twelve micro missiles—this is the maximum payload designed by Dr. Groh.

Once she runs out of ammunition, she has to find a safe place to park the mech and then spend about ten minutes reloading.

Previously, Hikari Uchiha had tried out this weapon a few times in the Naruto and Dragon Ball worlds, but each time she only managed to fire off less than half of the ammunition, using it against some bandits or wandering ninjas. Now, however, in order to deal with Samson, she has essentially emptied all twelve missiles.

If we run away now, and come back to continue firing after reloading...

That wouldn't be very cool.

"It seems we still need to urge Dr. Gro to develop the next generation of mechs as soon as possible..."

—This was Uchiha Hikaru's first thought.

"I originally wanted to simply deploy in Gundam form, but since the firepower isn't enough... well, there's no other way."

—This is the second thought.

present.

While continuing to fire and suppress Samson, Uchiha Hikaru manipulated the mecha to raise its right arm. With this movement, a red line of fire flowed out from inside the mecha, then contracted and condensed in a very short time, transforming into a crimson greatsword, which was firmly grasped in the "Strike Freedom" hand.

—"Fire and Thunder God"!

then.

Uchiha Hikaru raised his arm and swung his sword!

Samson clearly sensed danger.

For it, those bullets and shells hitting its body only hurt a little, at most it would be bloodied, but it was not fatal.

Can……

If this sword strike lands squarely, it will probably really die!

Overwhelmed by a strong sense of crisis, Samson immediately abandoned any thought of retaliation and abruptly turned to plunge into the water. Almost simultaneously with his escape, his crimson sword slicing through the air and landing on the turbulent river!

Swish-! ! !

Where the sword flashed.

A long scratch appeared on the river surface, like a piece of butter being cut in two by a hot knife.

Do not……

It's not just similar, it's truly split in two!

This moment.

Everyone present saw a massive chasm, over a hundred meters long and tens of meters deep, split open in the river's surface. Boiling white steam billowed into the sky with a thunderous roar. Nearly ten seconds passed before the river water from both sides flowed back in, filling the crack. Meanwhile, hundreds of tons of river water fell from the sky as raindrops, scalding hot as they landed on one's skin.

—One, a knife, severing the river!

This is a spectacle that is impossible for humans to achieve and even difficult to imagine. Once you see it with your own eyes, you will never forget it!

Onboard the "Moniach".

Professor Mans was dumbfounded.

Selma, standing nearby, quickly raised her camera, snapped a few photos, and handed them to him: "Professor, should we send these photos back to the academy? Perhaps someone can glean something from them?"

"..."

Mans hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the mech not far away.

Honestly...

He is completely bewildered now.

As a senior professor in Kassel, he had a deep understanding of the world of dragons, knowing that these creatures had permeated every aspect of human history, and that their presence could be found in the myths of almost every country. But... he had never imagined that these things would be connected with "science fiction."

The scene he had just witnessed made him wonder if he was dreaming.

"...Send it over."

Mans looked at the "Strike Freedom" on the river and took a deep breath: "If it is our enemy, then this should be our last words."

……

at the same time.

On the other side of the ocean, thousands of miles away, lies the main campus of Kassel College.

Library, control room.

A group of high-bloodline students, including "S-level freshman" Lu Mingfei, and dozens of academy professors stared in disbelief at the mecha photos projected onto the giant screen.

"...This is the latest information sent by Professor Mans."

The speaker was Professor Schneider, the head of the Executive Department: "They encountered this uninvited guest near the dragon ruins that Lu Mingfei just cracked. It's still uncertain whether it's an alchemical life form or a mechanical device controlled by a living person, nor is it clear whether its attitude towards us is friendly or hostile… As the elite of the academy, what are your thoughts?"

"..."

After a brief silence.

Lu Mingfei cautiously raised his hand: "Um... Professor, are you sure these photos weren't computer-generated?"

"...What do you mean?"

"Although I don't quite understand what happened, the mecha in the photo looks like it's from 'Mobile Suit Gundam'..."

"?"

Schneider frowned, somewhat confused: "What's that?"

"Forehead……"

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know where to begin his explanation.

At this time.

Finger, the head of the news department, typed on the keyboard at the right moment and projected the encyclopedia information he had just found onto the screen: "Mobile Suit Gundam, one of the most famous science fiction anime series in Japan, first broadcast in 1979... According to the comparison results, the one sent by Professor Mans and his team should be the model that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, piloted by Kira Yamato."

"……what?"

The professors in the Kassel delegation were stunned, especially some of the older ones, who were speechless for a long time.

"W-what is that?"

"Animated works?"

Just then.

Professor Schneider's laptop buzzed twice, and several more of the latest video materials were sent over.

This photo is clearer than the previous two.

A giant mech with five pairs of wings spread out stands on the surface of the Yangtze River in the Three Gorges.

The mecha held one arm out to the side, gripping a large crimson sword tightly in its hand.

The sword seemed to be formed from pure light and flame. When the blade was swung, it was as if a god had descended to earth, splitting the surging river in two. The dragon at the end of the blade was severely injured and on the verge of death, and the thick blood flowing from its body had already stained the water red!

"It's a lie, a lie, right..."

"That's the Yangtze River..."

Everyone was so shocked they were speechless.

Even Lu Mingfei, who loves to spout nonsense, forgot to complain.

Only the defeated Fingel continued to output his search results: "MA-M02G Super Scorpius Beam Saber, the melee weapon equipped on the 'Strike Freedom'. Although the color is slightly different from the photo, and there's only one, it should be the same weapon..."

"..."

Schneider stared silently at the "beam saber" projected onto the screen.

this day.

The mixed-race elites at Kassel College felt the impact of anime culture.

……

"call--"

A long, drawn-out exhale.

Uchiha Hikaru controlled the mecha, releasing his right hand and quietly dissipating the "Fire and Thunder God" he was holding in his palm. Then he looked down at the river at his feet.

Unbeknownst to her, the greatsword she unintentionally conjured had been mistaken for the "beam saber" from the Gundam series.

It is unknown whether the people at the main campus of Kassel College have already preliminarily determined her identity as "Kira Yamato" - after all, the gender and age of the pilot cannot be seen from the outside of the mecha, and can only be guessed based on subjective assumptions.

now.

She simply followed her original plan, activated the underwater form of "Strike Freedom," and plunged into the river. Driven by a pair of wildly spinning propellers on the back of the mech, she quickly submerged to a depth of several hundred meters and grabbed Samson's badly wounded and dying dragon body with one hand.

The latter struggled symbolically for a few moments, but now that it was injured, it was no match for the "Strike Freedom" in terms of strength. It could only be held firmly by the mech's large hand like a snake, unable to break free.

It was also at this time.

Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, the two executive agents, managed to escape from below the "Bronze City." Ye Sheng was still carrying a brass canister and was trying to take it off along with his oxygen tank and hang it on Jiu Deya so that she could complete the remaining tasks.

then……

The two looked up and saw the mecha piloted by Uchiha Hikaru, and both of them were stunned for a moment, their hands pausing as they moved.

"……what?"
