Great, we're doomed now!

Ye Shougang was pondering how to recover the monster's corpse and whether he should "get a share" of the spoils when his nerves suddenly tightened—

Danger!

The premonition pierced his mind like an ice needle. Almost instinctively, he pushed the control stick hard. The battle-damaged body of [Bayeri] suddenly shifted to the side, and a thick blue beam of light just grazed the cockpit and crashed down, blasting the still burning wreckage of Shuranos below into pieces again!

boom--!

The shockwave from the explosion instantly dispersed the billowing smoke and dust, and the clouds high in the sky were also completely driven away by a brute force, as if the heavens had opened a giant eye.

And in that clear blue sky, a giant bird, sixty meters long, hovered prominently in the sky!

Its wings spread wide, blotting out the sky, its iron-gray feathers reflecting a cold luster, and a pair of sharp eyes were fixed on the silver mech below.

His heart was clenched tightly.

It wasn't out of fear of the enemy before him, but rather that the appearance of two monsters in succession was far beyond his plans!

Where the hell did this come from?

"Buzz... Camp under attack! Repeat, camp under attack!"

"The reserve team is deployed, Director Sawai—beep!"

Intermittent, chaotic sounds, mixed with explosions and screams, came through the communication channel.

Ye Shou frowned, but he couldn't afford to be distracted for even a second.

The strange bird in the sky let out a piercing shriek, flapped its wings, and swooped down like a diving fighter jet, so fast that it left only a blurry gray shadow on the retina!

With such a massive body, in a state of near-stationary motion, it instantly accelerated to over Mach 5!

And this is far from its limit!

Bayeri was severely damaged, its thrusters were underpowered, and its movements were sluggish. It should have been destroyed in the first engagement, but Ye Shou's reaction speed was almost perfectly synchronized with the machine, and he narrowly avoided the first collision with a minimal backward spin.

This guy doesn't need to attack me specifically; as long as I get hit solidly, I'm doomed—Ye Shou couldn't help but grin.

He meticulously planned and schemed, carefully arranging for Hyranos, only to have another one suddenly appear and easily ruin the situation to the extreme... What else can one do but laugh at such a situation?

But his smile wasn't a self-deprecating wry one; rather, it was a wild and unrestrained gamble where he no longer needed to think about anything else!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Just as they dodged twice, a piercing metallic tearing sound suddenly rang out—

The underpowered [Bayeli] was easily crushed by the strange bird that accelerated to Mach 8 or 9. Not only was its speed superior to Ye Shou's, but it was also only superficially injured when hit by the laser cannon, without affecting its mobility.

TPC's artillery and beams couldn't even target it. It was a huge target, but even the most advanced detection systems couldn't lock onto it in advance. They could only try to pull it down with extremely dense firepower!

But as it turns out, it was fearless and didn't care at all!

Meanwhile, even though Ye Shouyong made subtle adjustments to his tactics and tried his best to maneuver against him, it was all in vain.

The claws, as sharp as alloy, gripped the back of the mecha precisely. The black and gold rope fired beams at the strange bird's eyes, but instead struck its skull, exploding a series of bloody holes and enraging the bird.

"Wow!!!"

A terrifying force erupted, and the metal, unable to withstand the strain, stretched and broke, tearing off the already severely damaged right arm!

The violent tremor caused the alarms in the cockpit to blare, and then the entire aircraft was lifted up by an irresistible force and slammed hard into the ground!

Bayeri simply couldn't adjust to that force and speed!

"Um?!"

In the instant the machine went out of control and plummeted, Ye Shouben tried to activate the overload boost to see if he could save it, but for some unknown reason, the emergency ejection light suddenly lit up!

"Bayeli—"

boom!

The hatch detached from the main body amidst white smoke, and he was thrown into the air by the impact. The airflow instantly enveloped his entire body, and through his barely open eyes, he saw the silver-white aircraft grow smaller and smaller until it finally crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Ye Shou forcefully twisted his body in mid-air, his gaze sharp as an eagle, and used the recoil to land precisely on the strange bird's broad back. Faint ripples of energy spread out beneath his feet, allowing him to remain firmly fixed in the powerful wind pressure.

The strange bird, perhaps sensing something, suddenly spun around in a wide arc, almost throwing him away.

Ye Shou immediately lowered his body, his five fingers hooking into the gaps between the feathers that were as hard as rock, while his right hand drew out the high-frequency greatsword from his private space.

Now that things have come to this, with his mental strength, he no longer needs to imagine the "pocket". With a thought, he opened the door, and a set of power armor appeared from the darkness, automatically attaching itself to his body and completing his full armor in just a few seconds.

He steadied himself and, following the violently swaying back of the bird, charged step by step toward the constantly twisting head in front of him.

Despite the huge difference in size, as long as the central nervous system is severed—

He kicked off the bird's back with both feet, gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and channeled all his power into the tip of the sword. The nanocrystals embedded in the blade emitted a faint blue light and vibrated rapidly, imperceptible to the naked eye. The greatsword plunged fiercely into the tough flesh beneath the feathers—

puff!

The sword was embedded right to the hilt!

The strange bird's massive body suddenly stiffened, then it let out a deafening cry and began to tumble and thrash wildly in the air, trying to shake off the ants on its back.

Ye Shou's entire body was covered in ripples, more stubborn than the most troublesome parasites, gripping the greatsword firmly and continuously channeling ripple energy... However, the strange bird was not a dark creature, and the current intensity of its ripples could not compare to the previous attack that had exceeded its limits.

Therefore, the strange bird only felt a series of burning, stinging pains in its nerves, as if it were being pierced by a red-hot steel needle. It was extremely painful, but its life was not in danger.

hum~

Suddenly, Ye Shou trembled all over. No matter how the strange bird struggled, it could not shake him off, but now it seemed as if he was suddenly grabbed by countless hands, with an invisible but real force squeezing his flesh and internal organs.

The force of the struggle was so great that even the bones creaked!

Immediately, a blue light appeared on Ye Shou's body. The powerful specially made power armor had no chance to resist, and Ye Shou was instantly "lifted" up.

"scare!"

The strange bird flew into the sky. Ground fire support arrived late, but was left far behind. Ye Shou was tied to its back like a tail by a blue psychic wave.

call out!

It was smashed down hard!

"Feather Fall!"

The magic wasn't as effective as expected. Even though it could counteract most of the gravity, the kinetic energy exerted by the monster was far beyond what it could erase.

"Defense magic!"

In the biting wind pressure, Ye Shou struggled to open his eyes. The auxiliary thrusters of his power armor tried their best to adjust his posture, but he didn't have time to think in just a few seconds.

"[A Prosperous Nation]!"

A golden figure flashed past Ye Shou, and the remaining Holy Grail energy was injected into his body.

Ye Shou removed the pendant from his chest and, the moment the earth filled his vision, suddenly threw a punch:

"Immortal Path Ripples—"

boom!

A huge crater was blown open in the ground, and countless fragments of rock shot through the atmosphere like meteors amidst the yellow dust, and Ye Shou's figure could no longer be seen!

"Wow!"

The strange bird let out a sharp cry towards the sky, then flapped its wings and swooped down through the valley—

call! ! !

Countless trees, along with a layer of the ground, were torn away!

TPC's firepower was immediately interrupted, and a large number of combat personnel were injured by falling trees and rocks.

Immediately afterward, the strange bird opened its massive beak, unleashing beams of blue light that locked onto all the large machines, drawing them into the air like children's toys.

Suddenly released, they all crashed down.

The troops, who had just been triumphantly annihilating the vampire beasts, were brought to the brink of collapse in no time after being ambushed...

Meanwhile, Sawai was in a helicopter that had not yet taken off, confronting three Ginajindaru people!

Chapter 217 The situation is urgent, let's kill Superman A-Guang!

Those guys must have sneaked into the ruins again!

—Sōichirō Sawai sat in the helicopter, his expression solemn, his mind in turmoil.

Even someone as cultured as him couldn't help but curse when faced with this rapidly deteriorating situation!

"Lord Sawai, do not try to resist. Human mental strength is far inferior to ours. Whatever you want to do will be stopped by us."

Three strange-looking figures, dressed in robes and resembling characters from a horror movie, subtly surrounded Sawai. The cockpit was empty, and the entire aircraft was connected to the strange bird by blue tractor beams, currently flying towards the city with the shortest distance.

This scene looks like an alien abduction story from an urban legend, but Sawai knows it's actually quite the opposite:

They are the Jinaijindaru, a native species of Earth whose active period predates modern humans and ancient civilizations.

Before the Crow Man incident, this pre-civilization ruin, along with the geoglyphs, was discovered. After communicating with the remaining consciousness of the Kinaijindar, Sawai realized the danger and ordered the ruins to be sealed. Then, news came from Japan, and he rushed back, only to encounter vampires again...

It was a civilization with advanced superpowers and technology. The cloning machines in the ruins preserved cell samples, which would create corresponding bodies for their souls to possess once triggered.

It now appears that due to the hasty actions, there were ultimately some oversights in the management of the ruins. Someone must have ignored the prohibition and secretly sneaked inside, which led to the resurgence of ambitious individuals among the Jinajindar people!

Sawai was also helpless. Human civilization cannot develop without these scientists. Most of them have common sense, but occasionally a few of them will have a brain fart and do something terrible.

I really wish I could send them to a mental hospital!

The Ginajindar are far more troublesome than vampire bats. After all, giant bats have an innate weakness to light and cannot reproduce on their own, instead relying on viral infection. Even if this campaign fails, humanity will not be in a life-or-death situation for the time being, and there will still be a chance to fight back.

Behind the Kejinajindaru people lies a powerful civilization!

Once they get through the early stages, and the population is increased using cloning technology, the technology will inevitably be replicated, and then it will be a true racial war!

Sigh, it's all because things happened all at once. I should have properly sealed the ruins with concrete before leaving—a pang of regret flashed through Sawai's mind, and then she thought of Ye Shou and couldn't help but worry.

No matter how much equipment is lost, it can be remanufactured later. From a purely rational perspective, even if the military forces here are completely wiped out, they can rebuild an army with the help of other countries.

But if something were to happen to Kuze Yoshinobu... his role would be irreplaceable by anyone, including Sawai himself.

Silently sensing the faint connection on the [Holy Grail Mark], Sawai's gaze deepened:

Because most of the energy has been drained, and the distance is getting farther and farther, it has become very difficult to sense the other party.

I hope he'll be alright...

The Jinajindar people saw that he remained silent, but they interpreted it as something else: "There is no need to worry about your safety. We have no intention of harming you. Humans and we can coexist peacefully, and you can become a bridge connecting the two civilizations."
