Great, we're doomed now!

At that moment, the helicopter tilted, flying along a perfect tangent, skimming the edge of the shield. The high-speed rotating alloy propeller tore through the shield with pure physical destruction, creating a brief opening.

call!

Yoshioka leaped off!

Daigo and Masaki followed closely behind!

"Ahhh!"

Shinjo managed to pull back with a forceful effort, managing to avoid pulling the three people into the wing, but the fragile fuselage exploded upon impact with the protective shield, instantly losing power and sliding into the steel jungle, trailing billowing black smoke...

boom!

boom!

boom!

Three power armor suits landed on the rooftop. Yoshioka and the others, without even checking their own condition, almost immediately opened fire, and the chaotic battle between Ginajindar and the humans broke out.

……

hum~~~

The destructive beam of light unleashed a chain of explosions in the city, and the furiously howling monster bird frantically pursued the golden demon god. But just as it was about to gather its strength once again, its momentum suddenly faltered, and the blue light that had always enveloped it vanished into thin air.

"...Hmph!"

The strange bird looked back and saw that no beams of light were shooting out from a certain building. It also felt a sense of emptiness, as if it had lost something important, and its huge body became inexplicably heavy.

The exhaustion and fatigue that had been ignored in the continuous battles suddenly surged up, making it unable to move an inch even in such a fierce fight.

However, its enemies will not let this opportunity pass!

[Bayeri] almost instantly discarded his spear and all his external equipment the moment the anomaly occurred, gripping only his longsword with both hands and pulling the thrusters to their limit. From stillness to breaking the sound barrier, it was all over in an instant—

puff!

The golden sword pierced Dankshader's heart.

"Wow!!!"

The strange bird flapped its wings frantically, trying to get away from Ye Shou, but its speed had already dropped to Mach 7, and it was caught up again by the full-power [Bayeli] in the next moment.

The drawn golden sword was wreathed in dense particles of light, a flickering bolt of lightning flashed, and in an instant, it ignited a raging golden flame—

Clang!

With a single sword strike, the head of the Dankshadel bird was cleaved in two, and its massive body plummeted like a meteorite, creating a huge crater in the ground.

This time, it failed to revive; its entire body turned to stone, eventually scattering into ashes...

——Phew~

[Bayeli] slowly landed on the ground. After the battle ended, Ye Shou's mind relaxed, and the mysterious connection quietly broke, and his consciousness returned to his body.

On the outside, cracks appeared on the golden sheen plating the surface of the [Bayeri] armor. With a crisp sound, it shattered like glass, sublimating into a pale golden mist that dissipated into the air, perfectly reflecting the twilight sunlight and revealing its severely damaged true state underneath.

"...Is it still possible to contact technical personnel?"

Having been rescued, Sawai stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the [Bayeri] standing still on the ground in the distance, and suddenly asked Yoshioka a question.

Yoshioka, carrying his gun, frowned: "It should be fine, what's wrong?"

"Continue the game stream, don't stop yet, and there's no need for virtual rendering... just show them what we see right now, the real thing."

"This!" Yoshioka exclaimed in shock. "Sawai, you... but this will cause a huge public outcry—"

"Was he fighting to protect himself?"

Sawai retorted decisively, "If that's the case, then those being protected should at least know that someone is silently protecting them from the other side of the world!"

“…I understand.” Yoshioka chose to obey Sawai’s orders.

So, after removing some of the disguises and turning off the CG rendering, a scene resembling ruins after a massive earthquake appeared before the shocked world:

The dilapidated Gundam, its original silver paint almost unrecognizable, stood alone on the earth, casting a long shadow against the fiery sunset clouds...

-

Meanwhile, Ye Shou, unaware of what was to come, slumped in the cockpit. The surrounding metal plates were like a grill because there was no time for heat dissipation, but he was too lazy to move.

Right now, he doesn't want to do anything; even just spacing out for a while would be nice...

Ok?

For some reason, he slowly moved his eyes and looked down.

As if sensing something, I turned my palm over—

A beautiful red stone is set on a gold base, with overlapping wing carvings on both sides. It is the perfect size to hold in one hand, and the understated design makes it look as if it can transform and unfold.

This red stone had somehow separated from Ye Shou and been shaped into some kind of badge...

Chapter 221: I told you to take your clothes off, so why are you still covering them up?

Tokyo, Japan.

In an ordinary ramen shop, a TV hanging on the wall is replaying edited battle scenes. The elderly shop owner doesn't like virtual devices, so it's not as exciting as the full-angle 3D videos circulating online, but it's still eye-catching enough.

Several white-collar workers who had just finished get off work sat around the table, forgetting to eat the noodles in their bowls.

"Did you see that? That last strike! The giant golden robot cleaved the monster bird's head in two with a single sword strike!"

A young employee waved his chopsticks, his face flushed with excitement: "Sure enough, the humanoid form is the correct answer! Let those outsiders who talk about science shut up!"

"I thought it was some kind of special effect... I didn't expect it to be real." The colleague next to me, wearing glasses, pushed up his glasses, his voice trembling slightly, sounding quite excited. "That mech called 'Bayeri' is... Damn it, I should have logged on that day. Even if I didn't get the prize, just witnessing this battle would have been worth it, even if it burned out my graphics card!"

The news reported that this small-scale war, disguised as a game and broadcast globally, was orchestrated by the 'TPC Earth Peace Alliance.' The shop owner, wiping glasses, interjected, 'That Earth Defense Force seems to be similar to a peacekeeping force… Anyway, they were the ones who held off the monsters.'

"Even though we're far from Japan, it's reassuring to know that someone can handle this kind of natural disaster, don't you think?"

New York, USA.

In a high school classroom, students huddle together in front of tablets during their break.

"This maneuverability is outrageous! It completely defies aerodynamics!" A boy, clearly a sci-fi fan, shouted, pointing at the clip of [Bayeli] rapidly changing direction on the screen. "What kind of material is used to keep the skeleton from breaking?!"

Shanghai, China.

At a busy family dinner table, a high school student son is excitedly gesturing to his parents.

"Dad, Mom, didn't you see it! The person who came out of that mech, although it was only for a few seconds and I couldn't see it very clearly, there really was someone inside piloting it and fighting the monster!"

I want to pilot a mecha too!

The father watched the news broadcast of the Bayelly Air Base, which had been restored to its original state after the war and stood amidst the ruins, and remained silent for a moment.

Reason told him that the world would be different from now on. Weapons must have certain requirements for being manufactured. Considering the previous "Japanese monster war", this planet might be entering a period of frequent "natural disasters".

He sighed inwardly, then gave his son an encouraging smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, it's amazing. But those high-tech mechs definitely require a lot of specialized skills to operate. If you want to become like the person in the video, you need to work on your physical fitness and learn physics and math..."

Speaking of which, why did your grades drop again in the last monthly exam? That older brother who pilots mechs must have always been number one when he was little, how come you—"

Middle school student: "..."

Online, related videos, pictures, and analytical posts are spreading at an astonishing speed.

"Bayeri", "Golden Demon God", "TPC/Earth Defense Force", and "Brazilian Monster Battle" have become trending search terms worldwide.

People marveled at the unimaginable performance of the mechs and admired the heroes who stepped forward in dire straits, but at the same time they were horrified by the devastation of the city, and unease and restlessness lurked in everyone's heart.

A mix of awe, pride, and curiosity is quietly spreading across the globe.

In Japan, from doctors and patients at medical centers to students at Shuchiin Academy, from struggling underground idols to glamorous politicians, people who know or don't know Ye Shou, but are connected in some way, are just like the general public, speculating about the identity of the "mysterious driver."

Even with AI restoration, the videos circulating now can only determine that the person has black hair and is not very old.

who can that be?

A government-trained super soldier, or a mad scientist with eccentric behavior?

But in any case, you definitely wouldn't associate it with some super-rich second-generation heir.

As for those who know the truth better, they have a thousand different thoughts.

-

Deep within a little-known military base.

Masaki Keigo emerged from the room-temperature pool, his bare upper body covered in water droplets. The various sensor patches and catheters connected to his skin shimmered slightly in the water. He quickly removed his breathing mask and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Staff immediately stepped forward and helped him remove the monitoring device. Data scrolled on the screen next to him, showing his various physiological indicators and physical limits in the underwater environment.

Instead of looking at the data immediately, he dried his hair with a towel and walked toward the observation window.

Outside the window, a huge underground space is still under construction. A massive, streamlined metal structure, vaguely resembling the outline of a shark, lies quietly in the hangar, with only about half of the project completed.

His gaze fell on the unfinished behemoth, but his eyes drifted away, replaying in his mind the brief battle on the rooftop of that building in Brazil not long ago, and the final showdown between the golden demon and the monster he saw in the distance through the billowing smoke.

That power beyond current technological comprehension, that fighting style that seemed to be one with the machine itself...

"Is the existing technology really enough?" Masaki muttered to himself, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the cold glass of the observation window.

A rare hint of doubt, and... an even more intense, seemingly ignited, ambition, appeared on his usually confident and arrogant face.

The sub-earth shark Gauzak 01 was originally designed by Masaki as a large probe to search for ancient relics buried in the earth's strata.

However, due to funding constraints, several fundamental scientific challenges that could not be overcome, and the lack of an urgent need for combat capability at the time, it was not equipped with many functions.

Things are different now. As seen in the Battle of Brazil, whether facing bats or strange birds, conventional human firepower, though effective, cannot quickly cripple them, while monsters can rout a well-trained army in a matter of seconds.

Without the valiant efforts of Bayeri, victory would have been a mere pipe dream!

When facing individual lives destroyed by natural disasters, collective strength is naturally important, but without means to restrain or resist the enemy, nothing else matters.

One Gundam is not enough; we must quickly form an "Aerospace Machine" unit... But there is still a size gap. Is it really enough to deal with the more powerful threats that may emerge in the future?

It must be admitted that Ye Shou's skill as a driver is simply beyond the reach of a normal human being!

【Bayeri】is clearly not a simple technological creation; even if other machines were created, they would not be able to perform the same function.

In the final battle in Brazil, Obik appeared wearing anti-light dye and alloy armor. Facing Dankshader, whose strength far surpassed his own, he managed to hold out until Bayeri came to his aid. This gave Masaki Keigo a lot of inspiration.

[Create a massive construct specializing in defense and underground stealth!]

This places high demands on the strength of the materials. While the hard alloy of the Gundam can support this size, it is somewhat insufficient for direct confrontation with monsters.

But Masaki Keigo was not discouraged. He was also a scientist and now had almost unlimited resources. He could freely communicate with experts and scholars all over the world. He did not believe that he could not figure it out!
