A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1050 Colossus VS Colossus
Seeing the two fists collide, Lin Wuming did not pursue, but immediately retreated to create distance—he wanted to complete his colossus first.

This will also set an example for "Thunder Angel" and encourage her to create a similar giant statue.

Compared to other more efficient combat methods, investing a huge amount of electricity in a visual project like "Sculpting Gundam" should significantly reduce the secondary disasters of this battle, right?
Lin Wuming had long noticed that a massive amount of energy was accumulating within the thunderclouds covering the battlefield.

At this point, Misaka Mikoto had not yet truly become a "Thunder Angel," because her angel wings had not yet formed.

But if you add the electricity from the thunderclouds, then it's hard to say.

The only thing we can do is try to consume her power as much as possible; if she doesn't have enough energy, she might not be able to continue evolving.

According to the information sent by Misaka Mikoto during her emergency communication, Lin Wuming knew that there was probably no conspiracy or scheme behind Misaka Mikoto's sudden transformation. If one had to get to the bottom of it, the culprit might just be Lin Wuming himself.

—Who told you, Nameless Senior, to insist on your Crystal Palace ambitions? Now look what's happened, Misaka-san has gone mad...

Lin Wuming was speechless—now it seems that this reason might actually be true!

Therefore, both publicly and privately, he had to take responsibility and, faced with the rampaging girl, had no choice but to accompany her to the end.

The good news is that because there were no conspiracies or schemes this time, and no one was plotting behind the scenes, Misaka Mikoto did not completely lose her own will as she did in the original story.

At this point, although the "Raiden Angel" has shown a side that transcends humanity, she still retains at least the minimum level of self that she is as Misaka Mikoto.

Therefore, Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou judged that after being exhausted to a certain extent, they could still awaken Misaka Mikoto and allow her to regain control of her self-awareness.

The plan went smoothly, and soon the second colossus stood on the ground.

The two colossal statues seemed to be competing with each other, constantly growing taller and larger...

When they finally came to a stop, they had transformed into two colossal statues, each over 100 meters tall.

For several blocks around, people could see this spectacular yet terrifying scene simply by looking up.

Under the moonlight, the figures of two giants standing tall and imposing could be vaguely seen, but due to the lack of other light sources, they were not clearly visible; the hazy appearance added to the mystery.

As the two giants grappled together, creating a deafening roar that shook the very air, people finally realized that what they were seeing was not a hallucination or a hologram, but a real battle of giants taking place in the real world!
The opinions of the onlookers were irrelevant; at least for Lin Wuming and Misaka Mikoto, everything else around them was no longer important at this moment.

Fighting and defeating the colossus before them was the only thing they needed to consider.

Lin Wuming didn't know what Misaka Mikoto was thinking. He only knew that he had to do his best to maintain the current battle situation and thus deplete Misaka Mikoto's power.

The problem he faces is still the same—an absolute lack of his own mental strength.

That's right, Lin Wuming had already broken free from the "bullet time" state. After all, this was a passive ability, and once the fatal crisis was over, even if Lin Wuming wanted to, he would not be able to maintain the "bullet time" state.

Logically speaking, a Level 4 Nen ability shouldn't be able to support a 100-meter-tall statue. To achieve this miracle, Lin Wuming used his most proficient strategy to cheat.

The colossus that Lin Wuming manipulated was merely a facade. He used low-density materials such as fireproof auxiliary materials from buildings to create the surface outline of the colossus, but in reality, the inside was completely hollow.

Simply put, it's a giant and lifelike balloon man.

As for the combat power of this "balloon man," it all depends on Lin Wuming's operation—within the giant's body, there are also a batch of bricks, stones, and other real building remnants. By flexibly and efficiently mobilizing these resources, Lin Wuming can transform this "balloon man" into a real giant at any time and in any part!

Through such resource allocation, Lin Wuming could even gain a local advantage and turn the tables to defeat the giant on the other side.

However, this operation is undoubtedly a huge test of Lin Wuming's Nen ability. Just looking at the pressure on the ability users, Lin Wuming's pressure is dozens or even hundreds of times that of Misaka Mikoto!
Unfortunately, given the difference in ability, those with lower-level abilities must pay this price if they want to challenge those with higher-level abilities.

Overall, Lin Wuming's situation was not fundamentally different from when he was trapped in the Iron Sand Sphere. He was constantly on the run and passively dealing with the situation.

Although Lin Wuming initiated this battle against the colossi and lured the "Thunder Angel" into it, the opponent quickly gained the upper hand due to their superior strength.

bump!
The two colossal statues' fists struck each other again, instantly shattering their heads into countless fragments.

The composition of the colossi dictates their high attack and low defense characteristics; even the colossi controlled by the "Thunder Angel" are essentially a pile of iron sand and metal fragments, and breaking is the normal phenomenon when faced with a massive impact collision.

The only difference is that the "Thunder Angel" colossus only has its head broken, and it immediately recovers its original shape amidst flashes of lightning.

The giant statue of Lin Wuming was in a much worse state; in addition to its head, most of its left shoulder had also collapsed and shattered.

"Oh?"

Some familiar voices came from the giant statue opposite, like Misaka Mikoto's voice distorted by electronic music effects—without a doubt, it was the "Raiden Angel" speaking.

"Your product has a quality problem."

Based on the feedback from the previous attack, the opponent easily ascertained Lin Wuming's true strength and weaknesses.

Lin Wuming clicked his tongue in surprise. He had been so engrossed in the game that he had forgotten his original intention and chosen the "best tactic".

It should be noted that in the previous rounds, Lin Wuming had been going head-to-head with his opponent's fists, with both sides having similar strength and destructive power, so his opponent naturally couldn't see any weaknesses.

However, that attack was perfectly timed because the giant statue was already close enough to strike within its optimal range; coupled with the increased pace of the battle, it forced Lin Wuming to subconsciously enter a true combat mode.

In this situation, the best tactic is obviously to trade blows, since the colossus can be repaired at any time, so being injured isn't a big deal. The key to the battle is to destroy the enemy colossus as quickly as possible…

Unexpectedly, the "Thunder Angel" was still intelligent enough to notice the abnormality on Lin Wuming's side.
