The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Amidst urgent urging, the helicopter rapidly descended. Looking down, everyone could see a giant spider, seemingly entangled in a web, gliding slowly ahead of the helicopter.

Almost exactly like the plot in the anime, suddenly

"Enju—!!"

As the helicopter remained perpendicular to the Gastrea spider, Rentaro suddenly shouted, and a small figure leaped without hesitation from the helicopter's wide-open tail door.

With the perfect angle of attack, Aihara Enju delivered a powerful downward kick, like a meteor falling from the sky, slamming into the spider's soft carapace.

The specially crafted, highly restrained steel shoes, the acceleration of the mid-air impact, and the extremely strong leg power of the spider itself combined to create a terrifying impact like a hurricane. The moment it struck, the spider's back caved in dramatically, and disgusting green fluid splattered out wildly.

"Roar--!!"

The spider was flying leisurely in the sky when it was suddenly struck hard. It let out a cry of fear and a low growl in mid-air, and then fell down at an angle like a crashing plane.

"Quick! Descend the altitude as fast as possible!!"

As Rentaro shouted, he had already taken a bundle of thick, long, and strong ropes specifically designed for emergency landings from the bulkhead.

Enju crouched on the spider's back, maintaining her balance with remarkable calm. After a few seconds of howling wind, the Gastrea finally crashed to the ground, slamming into a dense, overgrown forest, causing the entire earth to tremble.

Boom!

Enju was exceptionally agile. Using the spider's body as a cushion, she lightly leaped up the instant the spider landed, performed a beautiful somersault, and landed with one hand on the ground and knees bent in a half-squatting position. It was a textbook example of an air-to-air attack combined with a perfect landing.

At this moment, the helicopter descended to a sufficiently low altitude, and as the rope was thrown down, one after another, figures slid down like apes swinging on ropes.

As soon as Rentaro landed, he staggered to Enju's side, ignoring the dust on his clothes. Enju smiled at him to indicate that she was alright, then turned around and faced once again the giant spider that had managed to get up so energetically after the plane crash.

That's right, it was a giant spider the size of a small truck, which is what makes Gastrvirus so terrifying.

Its so-called rewriting of DNA factors to make them enormous and ferocious without causing physical collapse... does that mean magnifying them a hundredfold?!

Any small creature, such as cockroaches, spiders, or ants, whose normally harmless size becomes dozens or even hundreds of times larger when magnified. Just seeing their furry, wriggling tentacles and mouthparts is more terrifying than the most horrific horror movies in the world. Not to mention the even larger, hybrid mutant monsters with armor that is difficult for ordinary modern weapons to penetrate... No wonder they have driven humanity to such a desperate and desperate situation.

"Infected individuals have been found; they are stage one spider-genetic gastrulators!"

Rentaro's eyes sharpened, and he exchanged a glance with Enju for a moment before launching an attack on the giant spider from the left and right.

Gastrea are divided into five stages. The first stage is the weakest and can be easily killed by a bullet, so no one is really interested in ganging up on them.

"Following the protagonist is definitely the right thing to do. Rentaro will surely be the first to encounter this spider." J laughed casually, as if everything was under control.

"I hope so..." Wu Teng stared at the spider, who was half-dead from being attacked by Rentaro and Enju, and for some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

If they get the box first, let alone Hiruko Kagetane, even if all three of Wang Gaosi were present, it would be difficult to take it from them.

but……

"Oh no, we've been fooled..." Tina blinked, put away her energy detection beam, and suddenly said solemnly, "The box isn't inside the spider."

Bang—!

At this moment, only five seconds had passed in the battle. Under Enju's specially made steel shoes and split kick, the giant spider was as fragile as paper. Its body and countless limbs, mixed with disgusting green slurry, exploded into pieces.

A silver-white box burst out from the ruptured spider's abdomen.

"Isn't there a box here..." Otonashi Mitsuhiro asked, puzzled.

Wu Teng, as a teammate, clearly trusted Tina immensely.

"Could it be...?!"

Wu Teng beat Rentaro to the punch and walked up to the box. Ignoring the disgusting sap on its surface, he snapped it open—and there it was, empty!

Where's the bicycle you were promised...?!

"Huh? Who the hell assembled a spearman squad for me?!"

Wu Teng suddenly growled, his gloomy gaze sweeping over everyone. Even with the main character, no one got their loot boxes?! This is no joke!

There were no spearmen.

Tina gently shook her head and calmly analyzed her guess: "...Nata must have known we would side with the protagonist. They probably encountered this Gastrea with the spider's genes first, disemboweled the spider, replaced the real box with an empty one, and then released the spider. They gambled correctly, they gambled that we would follow Rentaro... and they gambled that Rentaro would encounter the spider they deliberately didn't kill."

"Cut open...to change the box?" J asked in surprise.

"Yes, as long as it's not a weapon made of galaxy steel, even if you're disemboweled, given Gastrea's regenerative abilities, it won't take a minute for the wound to heal completely."

Tina paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, this is just my guess."

...

……

[Two more chapters to come today]

[Ta64 You might die if I use this periodic table!]

"A guess... I think it's quite possible," J said, frowning.

An empty box?!

Rentaro and Enju were also shocked. Tina's words were meant for the reincarnators, so Rentaro was naturally confused: "Who did you say replaced the box?!"

"Do you remember Hiruko Kagetane from this morning's commission meeting?" Tina glanced at him and asked.

"Of course I remember!" Rentaro nodded solemnly.

“Nata, the boy who invited Hiruko Kagetane to ‘destroy the world together’ at the commission meeting this morning… Destroying the world, sounds like a joke, right?”

Tina's calm words naturally surprised Rentaro: "...At first, I didn't think much of it. Although it can't compare to saving the world, it would still require a terrifying amount of power to destroy it."

"What about using the relics of the Seven Stars to summon 'Stage V Scorpio'?"

Rentaro suddenly fell silent. Although he didn't believe that Stage V could be summoned so easily, J had indeed reminded him that it was the Holy Emperor himself who had said it. Stage V was a terrifying monster capable of causing the mass extinction of Tokyo...

How could this be allowed to happen?! Rentaro clenched his fists instinctively, asking unwillingly, "The box has probably fallen into Hiruko Kagetane's hands... Isn't there any other way to stop it?"

"Perhaps there's still time... then there's a chance."

Tina remembered that in the anime, Hiruko Kagetane, who stole the box, infiltrated an unexplored area and ultimately had a final battle with the protagonist Rentaro atop a towering building that resembled a church.

...Although Scorpio was still summoned in the anime, Rentaro did indeed retrieve the box there and opened it to find that the so-called Scorpio medium's 'Seven Stars Relic' was just a broken children's bicycle.

That said, those tall buildings or ceremonial churches should be in the center of Chiba Prefecture, so we should just keep heading towards the center.

"Without further ado, let's head to the church in the center of Chiba Prefecture."

Seeing Tina's decisiveness and confidence, Rentaro, having no other choice, could only decide to believe her. Considering the matter concerned saving all of Tokyo, Mitsuhiro and Asako decided to go along; although their combined strength might not be as great as Enju's, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

“I agree.” Wu Teng couldn’t think of a better solution either.

“Tina is trustworthy, of course… but walking is too slow, let’s take a helicopter.” J looked up and saw the helicopter still hovering in the air and suggested.

Without objection, J immediately dialed the helicopter pilot's communicator, instructing him to quickly descend the helicopter's altitude and lower the rope ladder.

Soon, the helicopter's massive shadow loomed overhead, the sound of its rotors grew ever clearer, and the rope ladder was lowered, swaying and rocking in the air.

With the speed of a helicopter, saving a lot of time, it might actually be possible to make it in time, Tina thought to herself.

Hong—!

But suddenly, a sound even more deafening than a propeller rang out, and a dark shadow, deeper than the inky black night, spun rapidly, rushing from the ground towards the bottom of the helicopter like a whirlwind!

It was a huge, jet-black sword. The helicopter's metal bottom and even its entire alloy frame seemed as fragile as paper in front of this great sword. With a 'whoosh', it pierced right through it!

Click, click, click—splash, splash—!

The helicopter, cleanly severed in two, crackled with electricity from the smooth cut, the lightning instantly igniting into a raging inferno. Then, amidst the pilot's terrified screams, it crashed to the ground, engulfed in flames.

The main characters below immediately scattered to the sides, as the helicopter crashed down directly on their heads.

Boom! Boom!

Everyone managed to retreat nearly a hundred meters away in time. The sounds of falling and explosions overlapped, and waves of heat and flames generated by the explosions swept across the area. The flames ignited large areas of trees, illuminating half the sky with a crimson glow. The unfortunate pilot perished in the towering flames along with the helicopter.

Even after piercing through, the black sword continued to spin rapidly without any resistance, tracing a huge parabolic arc before landing far away on the other side.

...The faint sound of the sword blade tilting and embedding itself deep in the soil was far more deafening to everyone than the deafening roar of the helicopter crashing down.

The helicopter they had been hoping for just a moment ago was now a pile of charred metal fragments beneath their feet. This dramatic turn of events also stirred up waves of immense fear!

"who--?!"

Rentaro took a step back in deep fear and stood protectively in front of Enju, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Even Guangye and Qianzi were a bit stunned. Throwing a greatsword across a helicopter was something that seemed too incredible and incomprehensible... both in terms of the thrower's strength and the sword's sharpness!

The reincarnators were also slightly shaken. They craned their necks and looked up, only to see a tall, muscular figure draped in a huge black robe slowly emerge from the shadows of the distant woods, uttering a hoarse, arrogant voice:

"You... are now surrounded. Prepare to be left to rot in the wilderness..."

Wang Gao is dead!

J slowly lowered his gaze and calmly analyzed, "Since they've already prepared to stall us, they must still have time... So, I'll leave Wang Gaosi to you, Tina."

"...Hmm? Tina?"

J stared intently at his opponent, but when he called out someone's name, there was no response for a long time, and behind him was a deathly silence, as if even breathing had ceased.

Little did they know that while J was speaking, Tina had already signaled to everyone, "Leave this place to J. Don't let him down. Get out of here quickly." When J turned around, good heavens, the group had already run more than a hundred meters away.

"Hello--!!!"

J's legs went weak, and she shouted for help towards them. However, their resolute running figures, encouraged by Tina, were so determined. Only Wu Teng waved goodbye as he ran, probably meaning 'good luck'...

J suddenly felt as if he had been caught in the worst rain of his life, when these guys deserted without looking back.

Before he could even complain or feel sad, the tall, dark figure, as if by magic, had instantly teleported from fifty meters away to in front of him, its fist, enveloped in dark power, smashing straight towards his head.

J's greatest skill, and indeed his only skill, is close-quarters blocking, but Wang Gaosi's Phantom Teleportation is truly unpredictable. When the massive black fist, the size of a sandbag, comes crashing down, there's not even time to retaliate; he can only block with his fists crossed.

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

The surging force was like overlapping waves, shaking J's joints until they went soft and numb. After several loud bangs, his body was violently pushed back dozens of meters. He swung his right foot back and braced it against a thick tree trunk, barely managing to stop his retreat.

If an ordinary person were to take this punch, not only would their arms be ruined, but the force of this continuous and overwhelming power would likely shatter all their meridians and internal organs, killing them instantly.

In the blink of an eye, a sense of crisis gripped his nerves once again. Without any hesitation, J's feet instantly unleashed power. Amidst a violent sway of the tree, J's figure shot straight into the sky like a stone on a taut slingshot the moment it was released!
