Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 316 Victory? A gigantic hand!

This Strelitzia was completely different from the previous ones. The previous Strelitzia was predominantly white, while this one was predominantly red, even its face was red. The Strelitzia soared high, its target clearly the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur hovering above the Thirteenth City!

"Darling!" Zero Two shouted excitedly.

From below, the Strelitzia flower transformed into a streak of red light, charging straight towards the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur. The Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur spotted the Strelitzia's target and quickly shut its mouth. However, due to its enormous size, the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur's movements were sluggish. Compared to the petite Strelitzia, its speed was utterly insignificant. A split second before the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur closed its mouth, the Strelitzia plunged into its body. The next instant, every part of the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur's body exploded, and its body shattered into pieces in that instant. Finally, the Strelitzia emerged directly from the Klaxosaur's tail.

"Darling, I'm so glad I met you! I love you the most!" Zero Two said happily after rushing out, while white snowflakes appeared on Strelitzia's face, constantly sliding down her cheeks. Those were tears; Zero Two was crying.

Jing Chen paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Me too, 02!"

After the Strelitzia burst forth, it flew into the air, its thrusters all shut down, and it free-fell from the sky. The red Strelitzia transformed into a red star as it plummeted downwards. After the Strelitzia had ravaged its body, the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur's "skin" had completely peeled off, leaving only a "skeleton."

In the city of Thirteen, Wanmu wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes and said helplessly, "Idiot, turn off the communicator."

Tai also said, "Yes, yes."

In the future, he said with a helpless expression, "What a pair of idiots."

"That's great!" Mei was also happy. Although she knew that Jing Chen had more than one woman, she still felt a little jealous when she saw this scene.

The bird-of-paradise, hovering in mid-air, looked at the dome. Jing Chen asked, "Zero Two, can that dome be fixed?"

"Of course! With Darling!" Strelitzia turned around with great enthusiasm, aimed at the dome, and with its thrusters at full power, flew vertically toward the dome.

9' As everyone watched the bird of paradise fly towards the dome, α said, "Then let's go together."

Four Type 9 rockets took off simultaneously, transforming into four bright stars, flying towards the original dome alongside Strelitzia. Strelitzia's spear was enveloped in a white light, and its tip activated a thruster. The already powerful spear, amplified by the white light and thrusters, became even more destructive. Any Klaxosaurs that blocked Strelitzia's path were instantly annihilated by the spear! Watching Strelitzia wreak havoc and hearing the shouts from the two on the communicator, no one doubted that they were a perfectly matched duo!

Having broken through the Klaxosaur's defenses, the Strelitzia charged vertically into the dome. After a moment of silence, a burst of white light erupted from within the dome. The white light lasted for a long time, and a series of explosions occurred at the edge of the dome. The next moment, the white light intensified.

Alpha looked at the white-glowing dome beside him and said, "It's time, we need to go in!"

Four Type 9 mechs stood atop the dome, each positioned precisely at one corner of the cross-shaped roof. Their spears were thrust vertically into the dome, and a powerful surge of energy converged at its center. After a brief moment of calm, countless cracks appeared on the dome's surface, from which a torrent of white light seeped. Then, with a deafening explosion, a powerful pillar of energy shot skyward, within which the figure of Strelitzia could be clearly seen. Working in conjunction with Type 9, Strelitzia shattered the dome from within, soaring vertically into the sky. The previously overcast and rainy sky was completely shattered after Strelitzia ascended, revealing a circular cloud several hundred meters in diameter!

At that moment, the sky seemed to brighten considerably. The bird-of-paradise flower transformed into the sole, dazzling, and bright red star in the azure sky!

Everyone watching the battle in the Thirteen Cities was stunned. Not only them, but even in the command center of the Thirteen Cities, Seventh Sister, Hatch, and the Doctor were speechless with astonishment, only able to stare in shock at the scene on the screen.

However, inside the mobile air fortress, the "fathers" were not particularly surprised; it seemed that the collapse of the dome was within their expectations.

"In this way, the gate to the Great Rift was opened."

"The day of human liberation is finally coming soon."

After the dome was destroyed, a huge, circular crater remained, and the sunlight, freed from the thick layer of clouds, cast a warm glow. Under the sunlight, the large cracks revealed by the loss of the dome no longer looked as eerie as before. The bird-of-paradise stood on the ground, looking up at the liberated sun, enjoying its warmth.

……

In the Thirteen Cities, although the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur had been defeated, its massive core remained intact. Several purple lines, resembling blood vessels in the human body, connected to the core along its skeleton. And the core, like the human heart, continued to beat.

"Look at that." Future gestured for everyone to look at the Super Rayman-class Klaxosaur, or more precisely, at its massive core.

"Won't it end that easily?" Goro asked.

Upon closer inspection, the interior of that enormous core contains countless medium-sized cores, while the outer shell of the enormous core is merely a protective film, or rather, an adhesive, preventing those cores from dispersing.

"Core complex?" Goro asked.

"This is another big one," one of the 9' members said helplessly. They had just solved the dome and hadn't been happy for long when a second big problem arose.

"It's too late. Let's retreat before this area is destroyed," Alpha said.

"Zero Two, let's go!" Jing Chen said with great enthusiasm.

"Hmm!" Zero Two replied. However, before she could even move, Zero Two suddenly sensed something.

Behind the four platforms and nine styles, and the bird of paradise, a huge arm extends out. This arm looks very much like a baby's hand, but it is many times larger.

Four Platforms and Nine Styles turned around, looked at the giant hand, and laughed, saying, "It appeared so quickly?"

The enormous arm slammed down vertically towards the Thirteen Cities. Jing Chen sensed something was wrong and instantly teleported outside the Strelitzia, allowing it to enter the city. He then controlled the five mechs of the Thirteen Cities to gather together, while he flew high in the sky, watching the approaching hand. Jing Chen stretched out a hand towards the hand, and a huge pale golden protective shield instantly appeared.

However, Jing Chen knew that with his current restored strength, this protective shield was completely useless. So he reinforced it with another layer, covering the pilot's quarters and the area below, where the four mechs from Thirteen Cities were located. Under the protection of this shield, Jing Chen was absolutely certain that the area would not be affected.

The enormous hand pressed down, quickly contacting the first protective barrier. The barrier stopped the giant hand, but this didn't last long; the pale gold barrier only held for ten seconds before completely collapsing.

Helpless, Jing Chen could only retreat into the second protective shield and use all his strength to maintain this last protective shield.

A gigantic hand descended, kicking up clouds of dust over a hundred miles around. Then, the hand slowly dragged itself back from the ground, seemingly trying to retract into the massive crack. As the gigantic hand retreated, it was clear that the second protective barrier Jing Chen had set up was riddled with cracks. Fortunately, at the last moment, Jing Chen seized the opportunity, slightly separating the index and middle fingers of the gigantic hand, thus securing the last remaining point of the Thirteen Cities.

"We're saved," Goro said with a sigh of relief.

"But what exactly is that?" Yu Nai asked.

"A huge... hand?" Ichigo asked in shock.

Jing Chen gasped for breath. The giant hand had retreated back into the large crack. Jing Chen could no longer hold on. The protective shield collapsed, and he fell to the ground along with it.

"Jing Chen, Jing Chen!" Upon hearing a loud bang, all four mechs turned around and quickly rushed to Jing Chen's side to check on his condition.
