The air was filled with the ear-piercing sound of steel cables rotating and rubbing together. Around the ladder device, a dozen or so huge, thick steel cables and a huge load-bearing structure under the foundation dragged its originally vertical body, slowly tilting it, and finally turning it towards the direction where Scorpio appeared.
The silence that had buried many of the ladder devices was now being used. Over the years, the dust, branches, and other things that had covered them fell like a torrential rain, creating a cloud of dust.
At the entrance to the control room of the Heavenly Ladder, two figures appeared: Hiruko Kageyu and Hiruko Kohina.
Since Hiruko Kagetane has chosen to join Nata's camp, Nata and others familiar with the anime's plot will definitely tell Hiruko Kagetane about the Heavenly Ladder.
However, this also caused considerable trouble for spoilers of the anime characters. For example, Hiruko Kagetane encountered a Stage IV monster on his way there and was relentlessly chased and almost died. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived at the Heavenly Ladder later than Rentaro, even though he had left first.
The appearance of Tina Sprout was also completely unexpected.
In some mysterious way, there's always an unseen force at play, a kind of "spoiler begets death" order that balances things out.
"Hey, it seems we're not too late, even though the journey has been winding..." Hiruko Kagetane looked up and saw the massive, ferocious, ultimate weapon that was already poised to strike. "Is this the Heavenly Ladder? We have to stop it."
Clang!
The katana clashed against the steel door, sending up dazzling sparks. Kohina's arm, jolted back by the impact, went numb. With a sickly, angry expression, she cried out, "Ouch! Daddy...it's so hard! My hand hurts!"
"This is the door to the Sky Ladder control room. It's very hard, of course, but I was prepared."
Hiruko Kagetane felt it was time to put his intelligence to use, so he took out a pre-prepared identity card, swiped it, and was about to enter the password to open the door.
Hina looked around listlessly when she suddenly saw a strange thing flying towards her. She blinked and asked, "Dad, can I cut it?"
"Um, what are you chopping...what—?! ...
Hiruko Kagetane glanced over and saw the RPG rocket spinning and accelerating towards him. His pupils dilated to the extreme. He grabbed his daughter, Kohina, around the waist, and retreated at top speed, ignoring even the magnetic card.
Boom! Boom!
Fortunately, the steel door was thick enough. The rocket explosion blasted through the surface of the steel door by 80mm, revealing the second backup door inside. Hiruko and his companion were also affected by the impact of the explosion, with several shrapnel wounds on their bodies and their tattered clothes making them look very disheveled.
When Hiruko Kagetane recognized the girl who emerged from the shadows in the distance, clutching a submachine gun, as the same girl he had encountered when being chased by the police that day, he showed a surprised expression.
"So it was you." Hiruko Kagetane said in a gloomy tone.
"Hmm." Tina loaded her submachine gun and walked straight to the steel door of the control room of the Heavenly Ladder, looking at Yingyin from afar. "...So, did you get your motto back?"
【Ta72 Summer's Redemption (Part 2)】
That day, along with Nata, he met the King, who was even more imposing and robust than the Chief Administrator. Just by sensing his unfathomable strength, Hiruko Kagetane was intimidated for the first time and couldn't even muster the thought of being his enemy.
"We didn't get it back, but we don't need it anymore... because Tokyo is about to be destroyed!"
His response was the gleaming muzzle of a gun and a burst of submachine gun bullets.
If it were still rockets, he would be much more wary, but bullets... Hiruko Kagetane smiled disdainfully and activated his repulsive force field.
Even though those bullets were much stronger than ordinary bullets, they still couldn't escape the fate of being trapped in the force field and unable to advance an inch.
The submachine gun was decisively tossed aside, and Tina stretched out her arms, grabbing two automatic pistols from thin air. The two bullets gathered all the heat remaining from her body and mech during the previous battle, unleashing "Frenzied Fire".
boom--!
The two guns swung down in a cross pattern, the sounds of their bullets leaving the barrel overlapping at the same moment.
The bullet, spinning out of the barrel, ignited a crimson flame more striking and pure than molten lava, crashing head-on against the repulsive barrier.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!
Hiruko Kagetane's prized repulsive force field proved utterly useless for the second time, much to his disappointment. A dazzling red bullet shattered the repulsive barrier, and the other bullets suspended in mid-air, freed from their restraints, shot towards Kagetane in the instant they were released.
hiss hiss hiss hiss—
Countless bullets pierced Hiruko Kagetane's skin, striking his metallic internal organs with a piercing screech. Two deep red, scorching bullets even penetrated his organs.
Fortunately, it only pierced his lung, not his heart. In an instant, blood gushed from the holes in Yingyin's body, and the two frenzied bullets inflicted unbearable burning pain on him. "Ah—!" came an extremely shrill scream.
The mantis-shaped Hiruko Kohina, however, survived the hail of bullets unscathed thanks to her lithe body, superb swordsmanship, and incredible luck.
Seeing the horrific injuries on Yingyin's body as he rolled to the ground, Kohina showed no fear. Instead, with an angry shout, she drew her sword and charged forward:
"You who bullied my dad—Hina will kill you!!"
The two reincarnation teams, totaling six people, are all individually comparable to the top 20 IP combinations in the Black Bullet world, and that's a conservative estimate. The only threats to them are their reincarnation opponents, Gastrea, or heavy weapons.
Before his license was revoked, Hiruko Kagetane had only a little over 100 people, so Kohina shouldn't be a threat.
As Tina expressionlessly pulled a hunting rifle from thin air, intending to repel Little Bina, a sense of crisis surged into her heart. She instantly changed the direction of her bullet and shouted:
"Chestnut ball!"
The large-caliber explosive bullets from the shotgun shot into the void directly in front of them, and with a tremor, they knocked back the deadly scimitar that was flying towards them.
The chestnut ball immediately understood and popped out of the void, releasing a "Hatred Transfer Spell" that took effect instantly.
Many powerful curses have an incubation period, meaning they take effect later. Stronger soul power means one can better control and learn stronger curses, but the efficiency and effectiveness of a curse actually depend on the mental state of both parties.
At this moment, Kuriboh could only unleash a low-level, instantly effective snake-skin curse, setting itself as the target, and then quickly fly away. Enraged, Kohina was easily caught in the attack, fiercely baring her teeth as she chased after Kuriboh and slashed.
Kuriboh's curse ability is almost impossible to work against opponents of Nata's level under normal circumstances; otherwise, Tina wouldn't have only unleashed it now.
At that moment, the girl was looking ahead with a solemn gaze when she saw a figure wielding two rope blades. The two curved blades were as fast as phantoms, turning into a violent whirlwind that swept towards her.
Without a doubt, it seems that the little girl Tina, while trying to protect herself and retreat, was not able to hold off Nata for long.
Nata was wounded by another Tina's sniper attack, and his ferocity was terrifying. Without uttering a single word, a sharp and deadly whirlwind of rope blades flew through the air.
Without hesitation, Tina brought out the laser cannon, charged it up just before it got close, and a terrifying laser beam burst forth.
boom--!
The laser cannon's attack power was extremely terrifying, and it was one of the attacks that Nata dared not directly confront. Fortunately, the charge-up was obvious, and Nata instantly retracted the rope blade. In mid-air, he twisted his body sharply and jumped far away with several flips.
The dazzling beam of light missed its target, but Nata did not immediately launch a second attack.
Although her eyes were sinister and terrifying, her aura was weakened by 80%. All of this was because Tina Sprantt, relying on the owl factor, unleashed her most terrifying firepower in the dark at her peak. Although she was eventually repelled, she also paid the price of serious injury.
Of course, wolves don't back down because of injuries! Nata stopped because he sensed another presence approaching.
"Tina, it seems... you've lost."
Nata's words made Tina's eyes narrow, because at the same time, the towering figure of a black-robed giant appeared beside Nata.
Wang Gao died.
so
Where's my teammate J?!
Behind them was the Sky Ladder Cannon, poised to fire but yet to be launched. After all, this place was fifty kilometers away from Scorpio, and a slight deviation would mean certain death if the cannonball went astray. In addition, Rentaro had torn off his prosthetic leg, which looked quite painful, and he had to endure the pain to aim with his left hand, so he had to be extremely careful. Tina couldn't really complain.
But really, does it have to be this slow?!
Is it really time to lose?
Wang Gao's dead eyes shot out dark red beams of light, which Tina could only dodge. The beams struck the steel door and exploded. At the same time, he drew a greatsword and a large shield from his back and strode towards the girl.
Faced with the relentless and determined Death Knight, Tina's skills in using firepower to contain and kite the enemy were completely useless, because the Death Knight's goal was to break open the gate, kill Rentaro inside to stop the launch of the Heavenly Ladder, not to kill Tina.
So
Damn it!!!
All she could do was pray that Rentaro wouldn't dawdle. The girl's shotgun and submachine gun bullets rained down on the large shield, only creating sparks and doing nothing, while the charging King Gao Si drew ever closer.
"Peacemakers—!"
Peacemaker is the name of the machine gun that fought against the Emperor of the End in the past. With no other options, she can only resort to one of her strongest moves at present, hoping it can have some effect in hindering the progress of the battle.
But--!
Hong—!!!
The towering figure was clearly more than 300 meters away when suddenly a violent roar of compressed air filled his ears. The dark shadow, which had been so far away, appeared 30 meters in front of him in an instant, before he could even summon the Peacemaker!
Shadow teleportation?!
A nightmare distance to catch the ADC in close combat!
Should we run away?!
Rentaro is still in the control room. If they prevent the Heavenly Ladder from activating, all their efforts will be in vain!
Summon the refrigerator...
Wang Gao's attack wasn't as lethal as Nata's, not enough to break through the refrigerator's super strong defense... but what's the difference between this and running away?! They ignored you and just barged into the control room!!
Thirty meters away, with a chilling, sinister laugh, he swung the greatsword of death. In an instant, a hurricane swept down from the sky, accompanied by a suffocating howl that pressed down on the air, creating a chilling, almost explosive illusion!
The black sword rapidly enlarged in her pupils, and the girl was enveloped in despair, her mind almost blank. She was not invincible after all.
Damn, I feel like I've forgotten some skill, a skill I've never used before...?
Kuriboh, still being relentlessly chased by the yandere loli in the distance, saw this scene and her fur stood on end. She charged towards them like a madwoman, though it was far too late.
At this moment
Another gust of wind lashed down from the top of my head, and at the critical moment, a sharp, whistling sound, as if the air itself were being sliced apart, rang out from above.
On the back of a moth-like Gastrea flying hundreds of meters in the air, a petite figure descended from the sky, wielding a massive steel sword larger than her own body, and slashed down.
The raging wind and waves made her short, golden hair dance wildly in the wind, her calm face as expressionless as when we first met.
Wang Gaosi's black sword shadow, seemingly proclaiming death, slashed down diagonally.
In that instant, the loli appeared in mid-air, wielding a black greatsword, using its broad blade as a defense to block the terrifying diagonal slash that was about to strike.
A second earlier, Natsuyo Senju would have fallen to her death.
If it had been a second later, both Tina and Xia Shi would have perished.
Moreover, leaping off a moth-like gastrulation animal might be convenient, but it still requires precise timing and even the speed to control the moth… No one knows how Xia Shi managed to do it.
The incredibly powerful sword strike, propelled by gravitational acceleration, blocked the attack of the sword of death with its blade. In an instant, the force transmitted from the sword, along with the heavy blade itself, slammed into the girl, transforming Xia Shi's vertical descent into a horizontal throw.
The Hua steel sword was not sturdy against the sword of the reincarnator. Although it was cleverly blocked at the right moment, the blade was severed by Wang Gaosi's death sword, and the protruding blade touched Xia Shi's slender waist.
In the next instant, under the immense force of the collision, Wang Gaosi was thrown back a great distance.
Xia Shi's small figure was also thrown into the air, slamming into the steel door behind them along with Tina, who was stunned.
