I love time travel the most!

Chapter 182 Three Forms, Tiga Type Mech

Outside the plains of the beginner village.

The dark blue figure kept swaying in front of the Destroyer, narrowly dodging the massive pillars that were about to fall each time.

Kobayashi's time with the mecha was still too short, but his movements became more and more agile and swift as he dodged back and forth. As he adapted to the mecha, he became more and more adept at it, and his speed was even faster than that of the Destroyer!

However, it could not effectively harm the Destroyer and was even taken as a provocation.

hum-

A tremor triggered the golems on the Destroyer, and several lasers shot towards Kobayashi with lightning speed, but were easily dodged.

Enraged that it hadn't managed to kill the giant octopus destroyer, it unleashed an even denser and faster barrage of lasers.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Like a Gatling gun with unlimited ammo, the attacks, seemingly cheating, rained down like a dense storm. Lasers pierced the earth, sending up massive plumes of smoke and dust, making the hearts of the adventurers waiting on the city walls leap into their throats.

"Okay, so awesome!"

"It's too exaggerated!"

"No wonder it's called the Destroyer!"

Such powerful firepower is something no town could withstand, let alone Axel, which is just a beginner village without any strong warriors.

To reiterate, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is essentially a weapon of war built to fight against the Demon King's army!

Having witnessed its power, the adventurers unconsciously clenched their fists, pinning their hopes on Kobayashi, who was locked in combat with the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.

Some people even unconsciously shouted, "Go for it, big brother piloting the mecha!"

Unfortunately, Kobayashi couldn't hear their shouts because he was highly focused at the moment.

Under the high-frequency laser attacks, Kobayashi and the mecha gradually synchronized their wavelengths, achieving a high degree of coordination.

The nimble mechs kept dodging beneath the Destroyer.

He discovered that as long as he hid below, the golems above couldn't hit him, since they couldn't attack through the Destroyer's body.

However, if Kobayashi could think of this, how could the person who built the Destroyer not have thought of it?

So just when Kobayashi thought he could catch his breath, hundreds of holes suddenly opened in the stone base beneath the Destroyer, revealing dark spearheads.

The necklace around Xiaolin's neck—the elven rune—issued a warning, instantly making her hair stand on end, her back drenched in cold sweat, and alarm bells blaring in her mind.

As the gun barrel flashed with a dangerous red light, Kobayashi slid out from under the Destroyer.

But the Destroyer is faster!

Because the mech was too huge, it would take a few seconds to adjust its center of gravity. The highly intelligent mobile fortress destroyer seized this opportunity and stomped down one of its eight legs, a huge pillar!

Kobayashi was firmly pressed down!

"Xiao Lin!"

"Senior Kobayashi!"

"Xiao Lin!"

The team members shouted in concern, and Megumin even tried to unleash an explosion spell in a moment of panic, but Kazuma Sato stopped her in time.

"Wait, Megumin! Have you forgotten that the Destroyer is protected by a barrier, making your Explosion Magic ineffective?!"

"But Kobayashi...!"

Huihui was extremely anxious, and Sato Kazuma was also very worried, but he had no way to help at the moment.

At that moment, Aqua smiled confidently.

Holding up a megaphone, she shouted: "Kobayashi! Give them a little shock! Let them see just how powerful my modified mecha really is!"

On the distant plains, the Destroyer paused, unaware of what had happened.

As the dust slowly settled, a small figure appeared in the arena.

It is large compared to a normal person, but tiny compared to the mobile fortress destroyer. Now, it uses both hands as if holding up a tower to lift up the falling pillar and resist it.

"It's Kobayashi!"

"He's actually alright!"

"Great!"

The adventurers watching all breathed a sigh of relief.

"See? My mecha is invincible!" Aqua proudly puffed out her chest.

His body swayed slightly, and he looked like he was struggling.

As the pressure continued to decrease, the mech's body swayed more and more violently, causing everyone's hearts to pound.

"Hang in there! Hang in there, Kobayashi! If you're a man, you'll hold on for a hundred days!"

"Don't back down! Push forward!"

"Go for it, big brother piloting the mecha!"

Cheers from the crowd rang out continuously.

Unfortunately, Kobayashi is not Ultraman Tiga, nor does he possess the Spirit Bomb; their cheers cannot be transformed into light or energy.

but--

Seeing that the time was right, Aqua raised the megaphone again and shouted.

[It's time! Kobayashi, go all out! Just watch, this is the power to conquer the world!]

The power to conquer the world?

What is this idiotic goddess saying?

Kazuma Sato was speechless; he clearly hadn't expected a goddess to utter such a statement about conquering the world.

If the Axis believers heard this, they would surely be disillusioned with their goddess.

...Wait a minute, the Axis cultists are all a bunch of mentally unstable people, and they might become even more insane after being encouraged.

Kazuma Sato suddenly felt that the end of the world was coming.

On the battlefield, as Aqua shouted, the mechs, which were originally dominated by black, were gradually stained with blue. Perhaps because the color was too pure, the pure blue mechs became more elegant and gorgeous than before.

At the same time, Kobayashi, who had been suppressed, suddenly felt a surge of strength, lifted the pillar pressing down on him, and threw it away!

However, it did not overthrow the Destroyer.

The mobile fortress with its own eight legs is not only fast and adept at navigating various terrains, but also boasts top-notch balance, making it virtually impossible for it to be overturned.

The fact that they could withstand the Destroyer alone would be enough to surprise the onlookers.

"this is……"

"True Blue Mode! In this mode, all limitations will be unlocked, and strength, speed, and magic transmission will all be more than twice as strong as before!"

When someone asked, Aqua quickly explained.

It's as if she's been expecting someone to be her straight man so she can successfully show off.

"Oh my god! As expected of Aqua!"

"That's really amazing!"

"You are our savior!"

The adventurers kept boasting, and Aqua chuckled, accepting all the praise and flattery without question.

That was her personality all along, and given the circumstances, Aqua's enormous contributions did not arouse jealousy or resentment among others.

...except for Kazuma Sato.

He muttered, "It really is Blue Mode, be careful you don't get accused of plagiarism. And judging from the usual tropes in anime and novels, once this mode is activated, it will definitely shorten the usage time. It's a trope that relies on remaining energy to exchange for a short burst of power. If we don't deal with the Destroyer soon, then Senior Kobayashi will be in danger."

Of course, he didn't say it directly.

In this situation, everyone was pinning their hopes on the mechs, so he naturally wouldn't say anything that would dampen their morale. Most importantly, if something unexpected really did happen, everyone would definitely blame him for his jinxing.

Kazuma Sato, who has been tricked by the problem kids in the team many times, is very experienced in this regard.

So he wisely kept quiet.

the other side.

Kobayashi was exasperated; he really wanted to pinch Aqua's cheeks and punish that idiot.

Because this [True Blue Mode] seems very powerful, but it's not actually under his control, and he didn't even know this mode existed.

By not using this pattern at the right time, a potentially game-changing trump card was wasted.

However, the resulting increase is enormous.

After the restrictions were completely lifted, he was no longer hindered. Even though he was in perfect sync with the mecha's wavelength, there was still a slight sense of awkwardness.

Once the restrictions are lifted, they are completely gone; in a more dramatic way, it's called "human-machine integration."

In this situation, he can use more attack methods.

such as:

Aqua's greatsword is equipped on her mecha!

How could a mecha resembling a knight be without a matching weapon?

He drew a ship-slaying sword from behind his back.

It was entirely blue, but the black blade gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

【True Blue Claymore: Aqua Type 1】

Even the name is something that makes you want to complain.

The greatsword held by the mecha was hundreds of times larger than an ordinary greatsword, but it didn't look special. However, there was a switch on the gauntlet that could be turned. As Kobayashi kept turning it, light blue magic instantly enveloped the entire greatsword!

Now it has the ability to break through barriers!

"Hmph, I thought of this from the moment I was modifying it. I'll be using the mecha when we attack the Demon King's castle, so I inscribed magic on it to dispel barriers! Looks like I had great foresight!" Aqua proudly raised her head and pouted her little nose.

"Wait, are you serious about using the word 'attack' to describe the Demon King's castle?"
