My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 331 The Mechanical Buddha, Shocked Joe (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
War rages on the deserted island, but the hive at the island's center remains a secluded and silent haven.

At that moment, four red and blue camouflage fighter jets stopped 500 meters above the Hive.

The cabin door opened, and the five people—Father of Puppetry, Fan Dongqing, Garfield, Yuriel, and Gu Qiye—arrived at the edge of their respective cabins, looking down at the entrance to the Hive.

"Operation begins." Commander Chen Qian's voice rang out. "The Puppet Father will hold off the Big Bee Lord, Garfield and Fan Dongqing will deal with the Second Bee Lord, Gu Qiye and Yu Ruier will infiltrate the Hive!"

The moment the words were spoken, the Rainbow Wing crew members on the four fighter jets took action simultaneously.

The Father of Puppetry fell from Fighter Jet One, the bandages on his face cracking faintly in the wind.

Garfield leaped from the No. 2 fighter jet, turned up his sweater collar, and his pupils flashed with blue light. In an instant, a red and blue metallic humanoid figure, fifty meters tall, was formed in mid-air.

The cockpit located on his chest opened, and his body was sucked into it, where he sat down. Immediately, the hatch closed and the huge mech raised its head, unfolding a pair of dazzling wings of light, its eyes flowing with a lava-like light.

Fan Dongqing put away his phone, took a step forward casually, and fell straight down from Unit 3;
Gu Qiye and You Ruier both fell from Unit 4 at the same time.

At the same time, at the entrance to the hive.

Because the second horn "Guli" had no wings, the first horn "Qiao" simply grabbed Guli's body, spread its wings, and flew towards the four fighter jets.

In that instant, Gu Qiye bent down and picked up You Ruier.

He transformed into a bolt of lightning and sped across the ice surface created by Uriel. The two were perfectly coordinated, their breathing almost synchronized, like professional skaters dancing together in a pairs figure skating performance.

With Gu Qiye present, Yu Ruier no longer needed to slow down the creation of the ice surface as before. As a result, the ice layer rapidly extended downwards in a circular track, while the pitch-black lightning, like a raging wind, raced wildly along the ice-cast track.

Finally, just two hundred meters from the hive, Gu Qiye stopped at the end of the ice, bent down slightly, hugged Yuriel tightly, and then sprang off from the ice!

His figure, enveloped in lightning, danced through the night sky, plummeting like a meteor, his target the entrance to the hive!

"Easy for you to think!" Joe hissed.

The moment he saw Gu Qiye and Yu Ruier trying to bypass him, his eyes turned cold. His hexagonal wings flapped wildly, tearing through the air with a deafening roar, carrying him and Gu Li forward in a descent.

Qiao flew toward the ring of ice that stretched toward the hive.

But then, an indescribable sense of oppression descended from the sky, and holy golden light illuminated half of the night sky, pouring down like a torrential rain!
Qiao was slightly startled, then suddenly looked up and saw a huge Buddha statue! To be precise, it was a colossal statue made of gears and metal, its golden body exuding immense divinity and pressure!

The Buddha sat cross-legged, with six mechanical arms outstretched like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

At this moment, each of the mechanical Buddha's hands is making Buddhist gestures—the two upper hands are raised high, palms turned outward, and fingers together pointing upward; the two middle hands are brought together in front of the chest in a devout prayer posture; the two lower hands are separated, with the thumbs and index fingers touching, and the thumbs forming a ring.

Abhaya Mudra, Anjali Mudra, Phra Dhamma Mudra.

The moment each Buddhist hand gesture is formed, the gears of the mechanical Buddha turn even faster, and it falls from mid-air with its legs crossed, carrying a torrent of energy like a crashing train.

The air seemed to be filled with the sound of chanting, but it was quickly replaced by the roar of hydraulics. Hot white steam was constantly being spewed out from between the gears of the mechanical Buddha statue!
The wind howled and blew across Joe's face.

He stared blankly at the Buddha who had descended from the sky, a divine shock sweeping over his mind, almost making him momentarily disoriented.

"Joe, let me go!" Gu Li's roar, mixed with laughter, drew Joe's attention back.

Joe snapped out of his daze, released Guli's hands, and kept his gaze fixed on the mechanical Buddha above his head.

The next instant, the enormous mechanical hand slammed down, moving at near supersonic speed. Almost instinctively, Joe raised his arms, crossing them in front of him to meet the hand head-on! The unstoppable divine force crashed down, almost twisting Joe's body!
With a deafening roar, Joe's body was blasted towards the land.

During his flight through the air, Gu Qiye managed to turn his head and see what was happening in a fraction of a second.

The Father of Puppetry stood motionless on the shoulders of the Mechanical Buddha, his hands in the pockets of his oversized trench coat, looking down at Joe who had been knocked away.

Beside the Father of Puppetry sat an Indian monk draped in a red robe. The monk's eyes were closed, his face expressionless, and his exposed skin was dry and cracked.

Without a doubt, this monk is the former Rainbow Wing No. 8 member - "Machine Soul Bodhisattva" Ajaya, one of the Cataclysmic-level puppets possessed by the Puppet Father!
The mechanical Buddha that blasted the giant bee "Joe" into the bottom of the island was naturally created by Ajaya's superpower "Steam Buddha"!

At this moment, the hoarse voice of the Puppet Father slowly came through the earpiece: "According to the plan, I am in charge of the Great Bee Lord 'Jo'... Black Flash, Ice Maiden, the two of you enter the hive, defeat the four Great Bee Lords, and then kill the Queen Bee."

However, at that moment, the falling horde "Guli" suddenly underwent a strange change.

It grinned maliciously, its arrogant and hoarse laughter echoing through the sky. Its dark purple body expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a giant two hundred meters tall. Guli grabbed the corner of the hive with his right hand, and with that, he bent down slightly, stopping directly in front of the hive, like a monkey clinging to a branch.

Immediately afterwards, the gigantic Guli suddenly raised its hand and placed it against the only entrance to the hive—it knew that by doing so, it could catch the jet of black lightning that was shooting wildly towards the hive in mid-air!
Guli's idea was simple: he absolutely could not allow anyone to approach the queen bee's palace.

Just as Gu Qiye was about to crash into Gu Li's massive palm, he couldn't stop his forward momentum. Because he was in mid-air, there was nothing to support him.

Suddenly, Yuriel in her arms raised her hand, and a huge ice surface appeared out of thin air!

As if she were of one mind, Gu Qiye swiftly stretched out his right leg and stepped onto the ice.

Thus, the two changed their flight direction. He hugged Yuriel tightly, his body flying backward, creating a large distance between himself and Guli's large hand!

At the same time, Guli suddenly raised his huge tail hammer, which tore through the air and smashed into the falling mechanical Buddha with overwhelming force.

Gu Li knew in his heart that if he didn't stop Buddha, Buddha would come after Joe, who had been sent flying to the ground!

But in that instant, something unbelievable happened to Gu Li. A huge dragon boat suddenly appeared in front of the tail hammer, floating in the sky!
"A ship?" Gu Li's huge pupils were illuminated by the bright red light.

Lanterns and clappers hung on the dragon boat, and giant men in ancient robes rowed back and forth. The oars whistled and rattled as they twisted the air, and the intense crimson light from the lanterns cast a shadow that blotted out the sky.

As the oars churned in the air, the castanets attached to the dragon boat opened and closed, crackling and popping, accompanied by the whooshing sound of the lanterns swaying, the ripping sounds of the oars being pulled by the giants, and the cheerful and rhythmic beat of the castanets.

A series of chaotic sounds blended together seamlessly, eventually coalescing into a magnificent symphony that resounded across the island and echoed in all directions.

This scene clearly originated from Fan Dongqing's special ability, "The Azure Boat".

The dragon boat, engulfed in flames, crashed into the massive tail hammer. The tail hammer was deflected, allowing the mechanical Buddha to descend normally.

At the same time, Garfield's giant mech unfurled its wings of light and descended from the sky. With its left hand drawing a massive lightsaber from its waist and its right hand gripping a cannon, the mech rammed head-on into the Dynamaxed Grimoire.

The lightsaber thrust out, its tip bursting with a white light like the polar day, piercing through Guli's arm in an instant and briefly pinning it to the very top of the hive.

Guli roared furiously, like Jesus imprisoned on the cross. The entire hive trembled violently, as if it might fall from the sky at any moment.

“Leave the second queen bee to me and the narcissistic male manager.” Garfield said expressionlessly in the cockpit. “Black Flash, Ice Maiden, you two go into the hive. The fourth queen bee should be next to the queen bee.”

"White Hair, newcomer, don't let us down," Fan Dongqing said calmly, standing on the deck of the dragon boat.

At this moment, Erfeng Hou Guli was already restrained by Fan Dongqing and Garfield, while Dafeng Hou Qiao was slammed into the ground of the island by the Mechanical Buddha. As a result, the entrance to the hive was automatically left undefended.

Now is the perfect time to invade the hive. Both Yuriel and Gu Qiye are well aware of this.

As Yuriel raised her hand, her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind, and the air suddenly froze, forming an ice passage connecting their feet to the entrance of the hive!
Gu Qiye embraced Yu Ruier and landed on the suspended passage. Then, he bent down slightly and transformed into a bolt of black lightning, shooting to the end of the passage and entering the interior of the hive.

He walked straight ahead along the golden path leading to the entrance of the hive, then passed through a long, seemingly endless staircase. Finally, he entered a vast, opulent space.

It was a retro-style palace, without chandeliers overhead. Instead, a pool of glowing honey flowed across the ceiling, casting a golden light.

There was no throne inside the palace, but in the very center of the palace was a huge golden cocoon. Inside the cocoon lay a giant bee. The giant bee was three meters long, and its body was a combination of a bee's and a woman's.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the queen bee of the light-devouring bees.

But for some reason, the queen bee remained quietly curled up in her cocoon, motionless.

Gu Qiye stopped and put You Ruier down.

He frowned and murmured, "That's... the queen bee."

“Yes.” Yuriel said expressionlessly, “The Queen Bee has no fighting ability, so we shouldn’t be wary of her.”

Near the cocoon, a large, seemingly ordinary light-eating bee sat down with its knees bent. When it saw Yuriel and Gu Qiye, it couldn't help but sigh softly.

Gu Qiye looked up and saw that the person blocking their way was none other than the Four Bees Marquis – “Mervett”.

Melvitt looked up and greeted the two men: "Looks like Joe and Guli couldn't stop you."

　It's almost the end of the month, and everyone's monthly passes are about to expire. Please, give me some more monthly passes! (orz)
