"Listen to Big Brother, I will block this move, and then you can break away and wait for an opportunity to attack Qian Gong... This is our only chance of winning."
Facing the lightning gun that was so close, V Plan Terminal unfolded his shield with both hands to protect the three people behind him, but the gap in strength was too great, and the lightning gun immediately penetrated the shield and hit V Plan Terminal.
Just as the RX-01 expected, the energy contained within poured out and dissipated the traction.
"Here they come! Get away quickly."
However, Basaka and the others' actions disappointed RX-01. The three of them, led by CX-21, deployed an energy shield and attached themselves to the V-Project terminal.
Dark red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and RX-01 shouted in confusion: "What are you doing! I told you to leave quickly."
"We don't want to be like that in the Solomon Sea again... We don't want to be like that again. We can only let Big Brother die to cover our retreat, but we can't do anything else." RX-16's voice sounded intermittent, as if he was enduring great pain.
Under the baptism of lightning, the damage to the fuselage has already reflected in their pain nerves.
"Brother has already been a hero once, it's time for him to give us this opportunity."
"Hahaha, my adaptability finally comes in handy at this moment. Anything that doesn't completely knock me down will make me stronger. I will eventually become tolerant, or even surpass tolerance!"
With fire burning in his eyes, CX-21 switched to mental operation mode, clenched his fists, passed the RX-01 in front, and rushed into the lightning without hesitation.
Immediately, shrill and miserable cries echoed throughout the communication channel, and corresponding to this, the lightning gun was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Chasing... the figure of my senior, am I a little closer now..."
Slowly, the screams disappeared, and the lightning spear also dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving only the charred mecha floating in the air.
The CX-21 did use its adaptability to take on Humble's attack and didn't turn into ashes, but when it reaches the threshold, the body will not be able to withstand the huge amount of energy, just like it is now.
"..."
The word "sacrifice" is not far from the son of Prometheus. Each of them is ready to die. If it weren't for their good luck on the battlefield, there would be more than just RX-01 whose avatars are dim in the panel of the life sensing device.
But after they actually experienced the reunion and the birth of the victim, they realized that they could only accept their own death, but not the death of others.
"Ahhhhhhhh, I'm going to kill you, Qiangong!"
Having lost his composure, Basaka controlled the mecha, shouting madly as he rushed towards Qiangong in the distance, with his two chainsaw swords running at high speed.
"Don't be impulsive, RX-11!"
"Brother 11!"
RX-01 and RX-16, who had quickly recovered from their grief, immediately sent out a warning on the communication channel, but Basaka, who had already lost his mind, was unable to hear them.
Faced with the overwhelming brass pillars, he did not dodge at all, but accelerated into the floating weapon, constantly cutting the enemies in front of him. The fuselage was hit by the light beam and the mecha arm was broken, but it was nothing to Basaka.
He now has only one goal, which is to tear Qian Gong into pieces and avenge CX-21.
"Wrath, the seven deadly sins of mankind, showing them to the world... How sad! My God will feel very sad about this."
The huge arm was raised, and Qiangong continued in a very compassionate tone: "Life should remember to be humble, the blood of sin should be washed away, and return to the arms of God."
"Together with this filthy world..."
The hands of the clock slowly pointed to Ⅰ, and dazzling light spread from Qian Gong's hands. The brass pillars baptized by this light began to split and accelerated their flying speed. In the blink of an eye, Basaka was surrounded by countless brass pillars.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
No matter how he swung the chainsaw sword, the number of brass pillars in front of him never decreased. The human faces engraved on them seemed to be mocking Basaka's powerlessness, flashing a strange golden light.
Seeing this, RX-01 and RX-16 no longer cared about anything else and drove their mechas rapidly towards Basaka, wanting to help him break free from the encirclement.
But just as they had this thought, the brass pillars blocked their way. The two had to give up the idea of support for the time being, and moved towards Basaka while dodging the light beams and fighting back.
From the moment Humility arrived, it had already calculated the outcome of the battle, and it had avoided any situation that was unfavorable to itself when it arrived.
For example, as soon as it appeared, it launched an attack on New Jersey, severely damaging the opponent before it could react, and then sent the Brass Pillar to disrupt the concentrated formation of the ship girls.
Even if it was beyond calculation that Xia Bai could use his ability to fight it again after being attacked, according to the analysis of the mental computer, the opponent was already at the end of his strength and could not put up any threat.
The remaining sons of Prometheus were just its appetizers. The weapons, abilities and modesty of these four men were all analyzed clearly.
It uses moves that the opponent will never dodge to reduce their numbers, and then lures those who have lost their minds into an encirclement, where they can be divided and annihilated. It does not need to pay any attention to the humans, as the evil beasts will naturally annihilate them all, and in the end only the remaining ship girls will be left.
The 'Ember Beacon' does not attract bad beasts, but drives the bad beasts' humility, allowing the 'weak' bad beasts to explore the armed forces of this world, while it isolates the world behind the scenes to prevent the intervention of Sirens and betrayers.
It can be said that from the beginning of this battle, Xia Bai and his men had no chance of winning, and every step they took was based on humble calculations.
Chapter 242 Choose, My Commander
'boom--'
The bright red mecha turned into gorgeous fireworks in the air, and then the sad signal of Basaka's death was transmitted to Xia Bai's senses.
Reluctance, anger, regret... these intertwined emotions swirled in Xia Bai's brain, and the negative emotions further eroded Xia Bai.
Staring blankly at the panel, the avatars representing the two people on the life perception system had dimmed. The sacrifice came so suddenly, so suddenly that Xia Bai was not mentally prepared at all.
RX-03 handed them over to me, but I didn't fulfill my duty as an older brother and protect them.
In front of Qiangong, the Son of Prometheus fought bravely, but Xia Bai could only watch them being destroyed by Qiangong, powerless to do anything, just like before, watching RX-01 die in the Solomon Line while covering their retreat.
Perhaps he has not changed at all. Even if he has established a spiritual link with the ship girl and has the ability to deploy powerful mecha, he is still so weak that he cannot change any tragedy even at the cost of his life.
"I... am such a failure. It is still like this until now. I can't even protect the people around me, and I can't even take revenge..."
Under such circumstances, let alone revenge for Basaka and CX-21, even repelling Qian Gong has become a luxury. The other party has calculated their mentality and figured out the trends of this world.
Even though he possesses destructive power, he is so cautious, gradually undermining the world's resistance and dragging it into hell, in stark contrast to Xia Bai.
What did he do after possessing powerful strength? Apart from training in Shinano's dream space at night and actively trying multiple links, Xia Bai spent more time on the beautiful ship girl.
"The world's unclean and sinful combination... Qian Gong is right. I really can't do anything."
"Nothing can be done..."
Recalling the humble words, Xia Bai lowered his head silently and clenched his only remaining right hand tightly.
Already lost. This world no longer has any power to fight against Qian Gong. Xia Bai had already lost when the other party shot down Susanoo in the universe.
It's just that in this battle where the survival of the world was at stake, he lost particularly miserably, without any ability to fight back, like a joke.
The hatch opened and Kaga walked in from outside. He sat on Xia Bai and held the thrust lever.
"The commander looks very unhappy. Has something happened again?"
"Well...Basaka and CX-21 have been shot down by Qiangong. Judging from the life perception system, they are dead."
After hearing what Xia Bai said, Kaga was stunned for a moment, then continued with a cold face: "Is that so... I have some bad news here too."
"New Jersey was badly injured and lost an arm. It's too slow to repair it with supplies. I'm afraid she won't be able to help in this battle."
"Hu Teng was hit by a beam while covering New Jersey's retreat... It was quite tragic. Half of her body was burned off. Currently, Perseus is using his ability to stabilize her injuries, along with Kaohsiung and Sirius who I sent over."
"Glory and Victory also lost their combat effectiveness. When Humility descended, they lost all their carrier-based aircraft. Because they had been using their abilities to deal with the evil beasts, their mental strength has now dried up."
"However, Taiho and Kewei may still be able to fight, but I don't know where they ran away during the attack of the floating weapons."
"I left Ayanami and Jiang Feng here to defend against air attacks for them. A destroyer that is not on the sea cannot exert its full strength."
As creatures of the sea, ship girls are not good at fighting on land and are not adapted to all aspects. Destroyers cannot release torpedoes, and battleships have to use their bodies to support the recoil of artillery fire, and their maneuverability is also greatly reduced.
At least on the sea surface, the ship girls can glide, and they will not be easily hit when facing attacks from humble floating weapons.
"So now the only ones who can form a combat effectiveness are you, me, RX-01, RX-16..." This news couldn't be worse, and Xia Bai began to think in his heart whether to continue fighting.
Shrugging, Kagami said calmly, "Maybe. We still have the human army and Ajax, but they are now doing their best to resist the attack of the bad beasts and can't help us."
"Warspite is not a problem. She is too short, so the first round of beam attacks from Humble just grazed her head."
"It's a blessing in disguise. Let's count her in as well... Let me think about how to fight next."
War-weary's ridiculous "survival" proved that Elizabeth's theory was correct. Petiteness is majestic, and petite people possess great power.
According to Xia Bai's mental simulation of the situation at that time, if Yan Zhan was a dozen centimeters taller, his fate would probably be similar to Hu Teng's.
Just when Xia Bai finally saw a glimmer of hope, Kaga hesitated for a moment and said in a cold voice: "Commander, it is better not to count on Zhan Yan. She ran into the group of bad beasts in a panic under the attack of floating weapons..."
"She is currently working with the army to resist the evil beasts. If she comes to fight Qian Gong with us, this line of defense can be completely declared lost."
"..."
Xia Bai was also aware of the urgency of the battle situation. War-weariness must not be withdrawn, not to mention whether War-weariness alone could be effective in fighting against Qiangong.
Once the bad beasts break through the defense line, humans will face massacre. Not only the army here, but also the New Testament City will be destroyed by the bad beasts, and then spread to the entire world.
The war was fought on two fronts, and both sides were at a huge disadvantage. Failure of either side would lead to the destruction of the world, making it difficult to move forward.
"By the way, Hu Teng also asked me to give a message to the commander."
"She said that if it really doesn't work, then we should just give up this world for now. With the commander's ability, the Siren won't let you die. The destruction of the world is inevitable. Qian Gong's arrival only speeds up the process."
"It's not selfish to think more about yourself in everything, but it means to always remember what you really need. Don't wait until the end of your life and wonder why you have lived your life."
For some reason, the look on Kaga's face when he said this made Xia Bai vaguely see Hu Teng's cool short black hair. Perhaps the big white fox himself thought so too.
"Perseus also asked me to convey her words to the commander."
"I'm sorry for everything that has happened so far. I really want to have a good relationship with the Commander, but I don't know how to express it."
"No matter what the final result is, I always believe in the commander."
After saying that, Kaga looked up and stared into Xia Bai's eyes. A smile appeared on his cold face, as gentle as the warm wind that melted the iceberg.
"How will the commander choose between these two paths...Perseus or Huten?"
Chapter 243 Roaring to the Future
In fact, they had already lost completely, and lost everything in the face of humility. Through the words of Perseus and Hu Teng, Kaga wanted to confirm with Xia Bai whether there was still meaning in continuing to fight.
In the face of this despair, should he go with the flow and give up resistance, or fight hard against the darkness that shrouds the world... No matter what choice Xia Bai makes, Kaga will respect his decision.
"Of course, I will live up to Perseus' trust."
Just as Kaga thought, Xia Bai smiled and stepped onto Perseus' path, choosing to continue fighting.
"I will not run away from a fight. Even if I am covered in wounds and will die in the next moment, I will not run away."
“Not for the world, not for others, but I just want to stand here and fight for myself, to eliminate my cowardice, and to no longer lose my ideals.”
"If you don't want to die here in vain, Kaga, it's not too late for you to regret now..."
Sweet and soft lips pressed against him, and Kaga, with displeasure flashing in his eyes, forcibly interrupted Xia Bai's words.
Wiping the saliva from the corners of his mouth, Kaga still spoke in a cold voice: "I prefer Hu Teng's option. She is right. You are the key to evolution. Siren will never let you, the commander, perish along with this world."
"But I am the commander's wedding ship, and I will always be yours alone. Death means nothing to me, and I will not regret it."
"Being your ship girl is the happiest thing in the life of a ship girl named Kaga from the Sakura Empire. I am proud of it."
"Let me fight with the Commander in the final battle. My sister will definitely be jealous of me if she knows this."
Yes, this is the final battle, and I still have the idea of letting Kaga leave. It’s really wrong.
Hugging Kaga tightly with one hand, Xia Bai nodded and said gently: "It is my happiness to have a ship girl like Kaga."
"Don't mess up next time, or I won't wait for you in hell."
"Don't worry, I will follow the commander closely, not letting him go for a step. If I lose him, I can only say that Kaga is nothing special."
The two hugged each other tightly together, and a huge amount of mental power rushed into Tsukuyomi's body frantically, turning into a white light.
As if sensing the will of the two people, Tsukuyomi's eyes turned scarlet, and blue flames emerged out of nowhere, burning fiercely in every joint of the fuselage.
In the blink of an eye, flames covered the entire fuselage, and the flames shot up into the sky, igniting the golden sky. Under the influence of humility, the day gradually disappeared, replaced by a pitch-black night.
"Commander, your body will collapse at any time if you exceed your limits like this."
Detecting Tsukuyomi's energy status at this time, TB projected itself out of the system and warned Xia Bai with an imperceptible disbelief in his tone.
In this case, the winning rate can still be improved to 4.1%. Can the power of idealism really work a miracle?
"Then I will once again overcome the collapse of my body and reach the other side of victory!"
Enduring the burning sensation in his body, Xia Bai's burning soul began to roar.
"Throw everything away along with the tears."
"Don't look back. Transform into a howling gust of wind and fly high. Overcome this pain and shatter this despair."
"Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the blue flames spread out, and Tsukuyomi, holding the Moon Sky Cross, rushed straight into the sky. He held the gun in both hands and swung it hard, and the brass pillars all over the sky began to burn.
"The sacrifices helped them regain their will to fight... But for the evildoers, this was also a part of their cleansing."
"It's meaningless. Under the power of God, everything you do is illusory and in vain."
