In an empty, dilapidated room, Kaname and Tessa were locked inside. After an awkward silence, Tessa broke the heavy atmosphere first, saying, "Miss Chidori!"

"What?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Being with you always disrupts my rhythm!" Tessa said slowly in her soft voice.

"Ugh…!"

"He would never normally do such foolish things, but he did them several times this time! He tried to cause trouble for his subordinates with malicious intentions, and wanted to show off his pointless abilities...!"

"Ability to act? What does that mean?"

"On that school's playground, I ignored Sergeant Dong Tian and Sergeant Sagara's instructions and rushed out. I've never made such a stupid decision in my life. I even became a fool in order to save you, who did something stupid."

"Ah...I see. Why is that?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

"Um... let's not talk about this anymore. Aren't you scared?" Tessa asked, trying to change the subject.

"How could I not be afraid? Of course I'm afraid! How should I put it! If someone like that appeared in front of me, I would want to fight back!"

"Counterattack...?"

"Hmm, those who attacked me as if they wanted to make me submit... I guess they're 'enemies'! It's not just those guys with guns, there are enemies in everyday life too, right? If that kind of enemy appears, you can only find a way to deal with them, right? That's probably what I was thinking when I acted!"

Is that so?

That's how it is!

……

In this way, the two girls unconsciously grew much closer.

At this moment, we finally saw the cargo ship where Xiao Yao and the others were tied up. Cruz drove straight in, while Mao deactivated the ECS's stealth mode and stopped the police who had been chasing us from outside.

After we got out of the car, we quickly surveyed the surroundings, and without lingering, we rushed straight into the deeper parts of the ship's interior...

At this moment, Kaname and Tessa, who had been rescued by Kalinion, were staring in astonishment at the enormous creature before them on the lowest level of the ship's hold. After a brief moment of surprise, Tessa quickly decided to destroy it. Although grenades would be ineffective against it, destroying the fuel tanks would be feasible. Just as she was about to order Kalinion to carry it out, a young woman in an operating suit, along with Takuma, who was also in an operating suit, and four men carrying machine guns, emerged and immediately surrounded them.

"When I heard the gunshots, I knew you would come here!" the woman said with a smile.

Kalinion pointed his gun at the woman and said calmly, "I'll take that as a compliment, if I may!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tessa, who was protecting him, pushed him aside and glared angrily at the woman opposite him, saying, "You're definitely not normal! You actually want to activate something like this!"

"Because we are...terrorists, Miss Testarossa! Personally, I have no intention of gaining anything from this. It's just a statement, an opinion, nothing more. I think most people will probably forget about it in a year!"

“Just like Seiji Takechi!” Kalinion asked.

"Yes! That person is like a second father to us; we can't let go of this world that denies him, and that's one reason! However, it's not just that..."

"Yes, I think you wouldn't understand this feeling!"

“Yes, I don’t understand! And this kind of thing is completely useless. If it were me, I wouldn’t even want to use it!” Tessa continued to persuade her.

"How could that be! I'm the chosen warrior. As long as I'm on it, this thing is invincible. I'll wreak havoc and slaughter everything in sight. That will make my sister happy, and that will satisfy me!"

"Stop! Think it over! It's not too late!"

"It's too late, Miss Testarossa. I quite liked you, but goodbye!" Takuma said with a smile.

"I'm going to be killed!" This thought popped into Xiao Yao's mind.

Chapter 146 The Out-of-Control Rhythm 2

A loud bang struck the cargo hold, followed by violent shaking of the ship. The source of the explosion was likely the hull, as it felt like being hit by a torpedo. The ground tilted sharply to the left, and all sorts of machinery in the cargo hold slid, rolled, and rushed toward the port side. The men who were pointing guns at Xiao Yao and his companions were all knocked down by the shockwave, then hurriedly got up and pointed their guns at Xiao Yao and his two companions again.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Sena immediately said to Takuma, "Takuma, hurry up and get on 'BEHEMOTH'!"

"Okay!" Zhuomo nodded, then ran towards 'BEHEMOTH' with Sena.

Just as the remaining people were wondering what was happening, gunshots rang out. A bullet fired from a modified large-caliber pistol accurately killed one of the enemies who had been pointing a gun at Xiao Yao. The bullet passed directly through the enemy's chest and then killed another enemy.

Xiao Yao hurriedly turned around and saw me wearing a black control suit, holding a silver pistol much larger than a regular handgun, pointing it in her direction. Behind me stood someone else. Then, the entire cabin echoed with gunshots and the sound of bullets ricocheting, so noisy that it gave her a splitting headache. Given the current situation, it wouldn't be surprising to be shot from that angle.

Xiao Yao noticed that Dong Tian was slowly walking towards her, and no amount of bullets hit him. Every time he fired a shot, it meant an enemy had fallen. Meanwhile, Sagara and Cruz were shooting down enemies who were coming from elsewhere. As they fired, Sagara said to her, "They're really pathetic! They actually made Tian angry. That guy... usually he doesn't care about anything, but once he gets angry, it means he's turned into a monster."

After the last enemy fell, Kaname looked at me as I slowly walked up to her. She could tell that I was a little different from usual. After about three seconds, I finally spoke: "Chidori!"

Hearing me call her name, she immediately threw herself into my arms and exclaimed, "I was so worried about you!"

"I'm sorry!" I said, looking at her in my arms.

"They're really scared!"

"I'm sorry!" I said again, a strange emotion welling up inside me, a sense of relief that the woman before me was safe. I couldn't help but wonder, "What did this time travel really give me? Why do my past memories and experiences have such a profound impact on me? Am I really that promiscuous? Am I going to hurt even more women? Sakura, Yoruichi, Rangiku, and now Kaname, who will it be in the future?"

Just as I was reminiscing about the past, Tessa's soft but important cough woke me up. I quickly said to Tessa, who had her hand to her mouth, "I'm so sorry, Colonel, I've made you suffer!"

"Um...it's nothing! Thank you for your hard work, Sergeant Dong Tian!" Tessa was also embarrassed about why she had done such a thing, but she had no choice but to reply immediately when she heard me say that.

At this moment, Xiao Yao realized her mistake and hurriedly pushed me away, only to be met with Cruz's teasing expression.

The ship rocked more violently, and Zhuomo successfully entered the cockpit of 'BEHEMOTH'. Tessa saw this and wanted to stop him, but Kalinion beside her stopped her, indicating that she could escape. Now the ship's tilt was clearly felt. Kalinion pointed to the exit and said to us, "You guys escape first, and hurry!"

"Understood. Where is the major?" Sagara asked.

"I won't die so easily, let's go!"

Without thinking twice after hearing what he said, I tucked Tessa and Kaname into my waistband and ran back the way we came in. Sagara and Cruz hurriedly followed behind me and ran out.

Mao, who had been piloting the M9 and waiting in place outside the cargo ship, saw the ship tilting to one side and almost sinking. He immediately drew the 'dagger' symmetrical to the M9 from his waist and stuck it into the ship to slow its further descent. Suddenly, the cargo ship, which was about to sink, rose again, and Mao's M9 was hanging high on the ship's hull before it could react.

Just as the police who had been following us here were wondering what was happening, a used light truck flew off the cargo ship. This was not surprising, but what was most surprising was that after it, a boy of about 17 or 8 years old, holding a girl of about the same age in his arms, followed closely behind the truck from the sky on a skateboard-like device. Then, as the truck landed, the skateboard was still a meter off the ground.

Just as people's attention was drawn to these people, a giant mechanical hand smashed through the hull of the cargo ship and grabbed Mao's M9. At the same time, Japanese AS troops landed on the dock in front of the cargo ship by helicopter. Upon discovering the M9 in the giant hand, they immediately aimed their rifles at the target. After being aimed, the giant hand slowly tightened its grip. Mao, inside the M9, struggled desperately as she looked at the large number of damage reports displayed on the screen, but her struggles were of no use.

Under the watchful eyes of Sagara and the others, Mao's body was split into two parts, upper and lower, by the immense grip of the giant mechanical arm, and fell into the sea, creating two columns of water.

"Melissa!" Tessa in my hands finally couldn't help but shout.

"Big sister!" Cruz couldn't help but shout.

I immediately put Kaname and Tessa down and said, "Sousuke, Cruz, you can take care of the Colonel and Chidori for now. I'm going to rescue Mao! She should still be alive!" After saying that, I jumped off the 'flying skateboard' and prepared to run to the spot where Mao's torn M9 had crashed.

Xiao Yao immediately looked at me and said, "Be careful! You must come back."

"Definitely!" I said firmly, and then ran out. After I left, Sagara and Cruz immediately pulled Kaname and Tessa into the van, and sped away after starting the engine.

At this moment, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' AS units opened fire. The rifles mounted on the ASs, capable of easily destroying tanks and armored vehicles, were ineffective against 'BEHEMOTH's' thick armor. Even the more powerful cannons were blocked by an invisible wall, failing to provide any real protection. The giant began its counterattack; the four massive 'Vulcan cannons' mounted on its head tore through the Self-Defense Forces' ASs at a rate of 70 rounds per second. After dealing with the henchmen blocking its path, Takuma, piloting the giant, took massive strides and chased after the small truck carrying Tessa and Kaname.

As soon as I reached the beach, I jumped into the sea and began searching for Mao. The oil leaking from the cargo ship and the giant's previous actions had made the water extremely murky. With no other option, I used a small light-based spell, "Purify," to cleanse the seawater within a ten-meter radius around me. With my vision unobstructed, I quickly found Mao, whose foot was stuck in the machine and she couldn't get free. Although Mao was an excellent swimmer, the murky water prevented her from breathing underwater as she would in normal water, so she was facing oxygen deprivation and her consciousness was beginning to fade.

I quickly swam to her side. Because of my arrival, the water around her was purified. However, Mao could no longer breathe underwater on her own. I immediately covered her mouth with mine and mouth-to-mouth oxygenated her.

In the prolonged oxygen deprivation, Mao clung to me like a lifeline, desperately inhaling the hard-won oxygen, her tongue even reaching into my mouth as if yearning for something. Slowly, Mao regained consciousness. In this purified water, Mao could see my face clearly. After a slight pause, she quickly nudged me with her hand to indicate that she was alright.

Seeing that she was alright, I swam to her stuck foot and suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of strength, slowly and forcefully pulling apart the two pieces of steel that were clamping her foot. As I did this, Mao's blood slowly flowed from her wound, staining the seawater red once again.

After I carried Mao ashore, Mao laughed and said, "Haha... I thought I was going to die! I never felt so close to death!"

"With me here, you won't die, Sergeant Mao. You stay here and wait for orders! I'm going to support Sosuke and Cruz. That big guy is not easy to deal with!"

"Yeah...go quickly...go quickly, beat that guy back to his mother's womb, how dare he touch my mother!" Mao said, pretending to be angry.

"Then I'll be going!" I grabbed the 'flying skateboard' that was on the shore, jumped on it, and flew towards the giant that was wreaking havoc.

Watching my departing figure, Mao touched her lips and chuckled softly, saying, "That Dong Tian dared to force a kiss on me! No matter what your reasons are, you're dead!"

Chapter 147 Battle Ends

While I was flying at full speed on my 'flying skateboard', I suddenly felt a chill down my spine, which almost made me fall off the 'skateboard'.

"Sergeant Dong Tian, ​​how are you? What about Sergeant Melissa?" Tessa's voice came through the communicator.

“It’s all over, Colonel! Sergeant Mao is safe now! I’m on my way to provide support… And what about support from headquarters?” I replied quickly.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel Madukas has already used a missile trajectory to send Arbalest and Lancelot over. They'll be landing at the International Exhibition Center in about 5 minutes!" Tessa said in an extremely calm voice.

"learn!"

When I rushed to the international exhibition hall at full speed, Sagara arrived just in time. He stood helplessly in front of a huge capsule, because the manual operating lever of the explosive device that could forcibly detach the capsule was pressed at the bottom. Faced with this weight of more than ten tons, even Sagara, as one of the most elite mercenaries, was helpless.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"The switch for the forced peeling device is pressed to the bottom, so the capsule can't be peeled off. Damn it!" Sagara cursed unconsciously as he answered my question.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" I said calmly, and walked to the capsule.

Seeing my actions, Sagara immediately said, "That's impossible. I've already checked. There's no way to use the forced stripping device!"

"Is that so? Then push it away!" I said calmly, placing my hands on the capsule. Under Sagara's surprised gaze, "Whoosh...!" I used all my strength to push the capsule in front of me.

Sagara immediately exclaimed upon seeing me do this, "Heavens, it's impossible! It's impossible with just human strength...!" Sagara stopped mid-sentence because he noticed the capsule was slowly moving under my power. Just as he was about to come up and help, I turned to look at him and said calmly, "Sousuke, trying to push it away is really... impossible!" I suddenly withdrew my hand after saying the last part.

After I finished speaking, even someone like Sagara couldn't help but press himself to the floor. Although he quickly jumped up, judging from the twitching muscles in his face, he was quite shocked.

"So what do we do now, Major and Chidori and the others...!" Sagara murmured.

"Don't worry, Sousuke!" I said calmly, then pressed a switch on the communicator and said, "Zero, destroy the capsule, come to me!"

"Understood, Master!" came an electronic voice from the communicator.

Then, an explosion and the sound of AS walking came from a corner of the exhibition area. Less than 10 seconds later, Lancelot's huge figure appeared behind me and Sagara and said through the external transmitter: "Mission complete. Please give the next instructions, Master!"

"Zero, move this capsule away! Then open the cockpit!" I gave the order.

“Understood, Master!” Lancelot replied, then faithfully carried out the order to remove the capsule containing Arbalest. He then crouched down, opened the cockpit, and I immediately climbed up. I said to Sagara, “Hurry up, don’t waste any more time!” With that, I entered the cockpit and, piloting Lancelot, disappeared from Sagara’s sight in a few leaps.

Immediately after I piloted the Lancelot, Sagara opened the capsule and entered the cockpit of the Arbalest. After entering his name, rank, and identification number, he fully activated the Arbalest.

"Zero, activate the energy shield!" I commanded as I sped off in the Lancelot.

"Understood, Master!"

At that moment, the enormous 'BEHEMOTH' was looking down at Kaname and the others, and an angry voice came through the external communicator: "Where is that man? Where is Sagara Sousuke?"

"I don't know, you idiot! Why don't you ask your sister?" Xiaoyao said stubbornly.

"Where is that guy?" Zhuomo asked angrily. After he asked, the last remaining Vulcan cannon seemed to express its anger, and countless bullets poured towards Xiaoyao and the others.

Just when Xiaoyao was almost in despair, a huge sound rang out, and an AS broke through the high concrete wall behind Xiaoyao, protecting them under its body. All the bullets were blocked by an energy shield emitting a red light.

"Is everyone alright?" I asked through Lancelot's external communicator.

"So slow! I thought I'd never see you again!" Cruz, who had survived the ordeal, said in a flippant tone while holding the unconscious Tessa.

"Shut up! Chidori, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
