Great, we're doomed now!

Ye Shou, who had been kneeling, stood up, his aura even stronger than before: "Let's begin the finishing touches!"

—The three timers, which were originally flashing side by side, have turned back to blue.

"?"

"?"

Tiga and Lucifer looked towards the center simultaneously.

Chapter 290: Friendship is Priceless! (4.5K)

Ding dong dong dong~

The mechanical eyes on the two Goblin heads kept flashing, seemingly assessing the combat capabilities of the two giants who had unexpectedly entered the battlefield. However, lacking data, they could only analyze the situation by applying Ye Shou's template.

—And then they were stuck in a dead end.

If a two-on-one situation cannot defeat the enemy, then the chances of winning in a two-on-three situation are naturally even lower. However, for machines, completing the task is the most important thing. Difficulty is not a reason for failure. All they need to do is try their best to calculate a successful combat plan.

But at this moment, the giants of light had already slightly bent their knees, ready to fight at any moment, their crystal-like eyes simultaneously locking onto Giga and Auguma in front of them.

[High-energy reaction detected! Initiate attack!]

The two Goblin Newts started moving almost simultaneously!

Kiga's heavy body suddenly lunged forward, his iron fist, covered in thick armor, slamming straight at Bayeri, who was in the best condition.

Auguma raised his arm, and the mysterious patterns on his shoulder and back shone with a dazzling light. Several high-heat rays, which were faster to charge and had more treacherous trajectories, were unleashed, like a woven net of death, sweeping towards the area where Lucifer and Tiga were located.

However, the giants reacted faster than their attacks.

Facing Kiga's heavy punch, Bayeli neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he lowered his waist, stood up straight, and pulled his right fist back. The red stripes on his body seemed to have a stream of light passing through them. Just as the iron fist was about to hit him, he roared and his right fist, full of power, met the punch head-on!

boom--!

The two fists collided, creating a visible white shockwave.

Kiga's momentum was abruptly halted, and tiny cracks appeared on the surface of his metal fist. The lunar rock beneath Bayeri's feet shattered into pieces hundreds of meters long, but he did not retreat an inch.

At the same time, Lucifer drew a graceful arc with both hands in front of his chest, and a crystal-clear diamond-shaped light shield instantly unfolded, flying into the sky and shattering into an array of dozens of beams, deflecting all the high-heat rays shot by Auguma into even more thin beams, which landed on the ground in the distance and blasted out countless craters.

The Ultraman body that Masaki Keigo fused with came from Lucifer, who lived 30 million years ago. His battle beast partner, Gedi, was huge but not very agile. Although he was tough and thick-skinned, Lucifer would rather get hurt himself than let Gedi suffer pain. This is how the shield that could help his partner deflect beam attacks was developed.

As the last "inheritor" of the ancient giants, Ye Shou will naturally pass on Lucifer's main skills and fighting methods to Masaki, since one cannot always rely on a sudden inspiration at a crucial moment.

Coincidentally, he actually does have a "crash course" teaching method~

...In short, after rigorous special training, Masaki quickly mastered a large number of practical skills and decided to sell his family's treasured 94 Jeep Wrangler!

"just!"

In the brief moment when Auguma was momentarily stunned by his ineffective attack, Tiga moved—

With a powerful kick, moon dust billowed up, and the strong-type figure moved like a shooting star, delivering a flying kick with an extremely tricky angle, slamming into Auguma's relatively vulnerable waist joint!

boom! !

A piercing metallic screech rang out as Auguma's massive body was kicked and sent staggering to the side, a burst of dazzling sparks erupting from his waist, his armor plates visibly dented and dislocated. Tiga, seizing the opportunity, pressed his advantage, attempting to completely overwhelm his opponent in close combat, landing two consecutive punches on Auguma's chest.

Surprisingly, this war machine did not fall over. Although it looked disheveled, its feet remained firmly planted on the ground!

"Humph?"

Daigo was stunned for a moment, and the sensation from the fist surprised him slightly, causing him to panic.

Oguma is not a living being and will not flee or lose its will to fight just because it is injured. So even though Tiga's fist is still imprinted on its body, its first reaction is not to defend or retreat. Instead, it grabs Tiga's arm and throws the giant's tens of thousands of tons of body out with both hands!

"just!"

Daigo couldn't help but cry out in pain. As soon as he sensed the increasingly obvious tremors coming from the ground, he immediately rolled over and got up, quickly putting some distance between himself and Auguma.

—Isn't this a mage? How come he has such strong arms!

That giant (Giga) was clearly a warrior-type, yet he could hold his own against him!

Daigo didn't know where the problem lay, but his contempt for Auguma vanished, and he immediately began to seriously deal with him.

Ye Shou was beating up Kiga when he noticed it out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but think to himself:

This kid still lacks combat experience. Just because he saw someone rush up and unleash a projectile, he arbitrarily concluded that Auguma was not good at melee combat.

This is like seeing an archer and rushing in to fight—what if the archer on the other side is named Xiang Yu?

Leaving aside the peasant uprising armies whose quality varied greatly, proper archers at least possessed height, long arms, great strength, and sharp eyesight—most famous generals in ancient times were skilled archers.

Oguma is a fully enhanced version of Giga, both in terms of stats and skills, and Giga's macho strength already far surpasses that of ordinary monsters...

These two perfectly embody the characteristics of a machine: rigid yet powerful.

Even in [Flame Form], Ye Shou did not choose to fight the two robots head-on. He was able to suppress Giga by using techniques, plus the added benefit of the "Red Form" attribute effect—his endurance and defense were much higher than the surface values.

However, Daigo is also very adaptable. After discovering that Auguma's fighting style was relatively simple, he stabilized the situation.

Then, Baye launched the main offensive, Lucifer defended and controlled the situation, and Tiga waited for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack—the division of labor was clear. The three giants did not exchange any words, but their teamwork was as if it had been honed through countless trials, or as if they had been doing this for a long time.

This instantly reversed the tide of battle, and Kiga and Auguma's situation immediately became passive. They were repeatedly hit in the joints and head, and their armor suffered extensive damage.

Ding-dong-dong-dong—

The processor was running at full speed, constantly reassessing the battle situation:

The probability of winning is extremely small.

Triggering the third contingency plan, the protocol change will be implemented:

Initiate the special removal plan!

The next moment, the red light in Kiga and Auguma's eyes turned into a more rapid, deep red flash, and one of their electronic eyes suddenly went out permanently.

"Um?!"

They abandoned their attack on the three giants and instead turned around simultaneously, taking heavy steps straight toward the main body of the lunar base not far away. With each step, unstable, blazing white light spilled from the gaps in their armor, the energy reaction rapid and increasingly violent.

Self-destruction?

Even if you can't defeat the giant, you must complete the core mission of destroying the "potential threat"!

The three giants exchanged a glance, and just as they were about to act, they suddenly sensed something and turned back.

The mechanical island, which had been suspended high above the synchronous orbit, once again erupted with blinding lightning from its massive ring-shaped base. But this time, the lightning wasn't used for attack; instead, it transformed into a layer of sturdy energy shield!

Then the floating island, made of steel and rock, changed direction, transforming itself into a giant meteorite, and began to dive towards the blue planet below!

"No way, not again!" Ye Shou's eyes widened!

Why do I have to push this boulder again? Was I Sisyphus in my past life? Ah!

"They're going to self-destruct!"

Inside the lunar base, the observer's voice was filled with terror.

"The Mechanical Island is heading towards Earth!"

At the Earth command center, Ye Rui's exclamation rang out simultaneously. After calculating the time, he became even more anxious, sweating profusely: "Only one minute left!"

Lucifer and Tiga immediately attacked, concealing their hands at their waists and slashing forward like ninjas releasing shuriken—

Two white beams of light collided in the sky, instantly exploding into countless frost-like wisps that scattered down, freezing the two war machines below within seconds and turning them into two enormous ice sculptures standing on the moon's surface.

Although the action was stopped, the violent energy reaction inside could not be suppressed, so further processing is still needed.

However, unleashing such a powerful freezing ray also took a huge toll on Tiga and Lucifer. The timers on their chests were already flashing, but now they were flashing even more rapidly, making it difficult for them to even run over and lift the two ice sculptures.

Watching the mechanical island accelerate faster and faster, the two giants couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness and exhaustion...

Just then, a pure and warm white light emerged from the core of the timer in Bayeri's chest, flowing gently and steadily down his arm and into the bodies of Tiga and Lucifer.

This radiance was not particularly powerful, but it carried a nourishing power that never ceases to thrive.

Tiga and Lucifer shuddered simultaneously, their fatigue quickly dispelled, and their almost dried-up energy cores, like withered trees being watered by a clear spring, were revitalized.

“This is…” Daigo suddenly realized, and the information about this skill automatically appeared in his mind—it seems that “he” originally knew this move as well.

"Sharing the light?" Masaki Keigo felt the surging power within him, and his frustration vanished.

The moment their energy was restored, the three giants simultaneously looked up at the mechanical island that had turned into a fiery meteor in the sky, their eyes burning with intensity.

Immediately afterwards, Bayeli crossed his arms in front of him and gave a low shout:

A dazzling light burst forth from his body!

Above the basic armor, an intricate and ornate silver breastplate spreads out like a living thing, completing the outfit in an instant.

Compared to its initial form, the "Fully Armed" version has undergone a series of events in Iron Blood, and is now quite different.

Besides having a larger coverage area, its most distinctive feature is the L-shaped shoulder armor resembling thrusters.

"go!"

Three beams of light, each a different color but equally dazzling, shot into the sky and caught up with the mechanical island at a speed far exceeding the speed at which it fell!

In the blink of an eye, they had overtaken the Earth and firmly blocked the mechanical island from the ground!

Countless people around the world witnessed this unforgettable scene through a projection:

Against the backdrop of the pitch-black universe, three radiant giants float side by side in front of the meteor carrying lightning, like an insurmountable wall of sighs.

Without hesitation, the giant threw the two ice sculptures toward the mechanical island—

Then Tiga crossed his arms to the left and right, gathering brilliant light and heat in front of his chest;

Ye Shouliang flicked out a golden light blade from his wrist, condensing a dazzling and overflowing brilliance;

Lucifer and Tiga have the same pose, but the radiance he gathers is sharper;

—【Zepelion Ray】!

—【Zepelion Ray】!

—【The Blade of Reverse Light】!

Three beams of light, of similar nature, were released from the giant's hand at the same moment, converging and merging in the void of space, transforming into an indescribably pure white torrent that struck the two ice sculptures head-on, engulfing the mechanical island behind them as well.

Buzz!

No sound can travel in a vacuum, but everyone who saw this scene through a telescope or satellite imagery seemed to "hear" that annihilating, silent roar.
