Chapter 93 The Earth Angels Attack

The supplies at G3 base are almost gone.

Having survived the attack by the Raven-type Unknown, their food, medicine, and energy supplies were severely depleted. After taking stock of the inventory, Takahiro Omuro reported with a grim expression that they could only last for two more days at most.

Everyone gathered in the control room to discuss the matter and unanimously agreed that the New Human Alliance had just suffered a major defeat and would not dare to invade again anytime soon. As for the Unknown, with its base defenses in place, it would not be breached in the short term.

"There are many unknowns outside, but we must go out to search for supplies, otherwise we won't be able to survive," Sumiko Ozawa said gravely.

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "Too many people will make us easy to be exposed. It's enough for just me and Bingchuan Cheng to go."

With Orga's combat power as a backup, and Hikawa Makoto wearing the G3-X, he can both keep watch and help carry supplies. Traveling together is the most efficient and safest option.

Bingchuan Cheng immediately nodded: "I'm fine with it, I can leave anytime."

Ozawa repeatedly instructed: "Keep communication open, don't fight a strong enemy head-on, prioritize returning."

After quickly setting up the communicator and transport vehicle, the two of them didn't delay any longer. Hikawa Makoto put on his G3-X, while Lin Chen carried the Earth Emperor's mobile phone, and together they boarded the transport vehicle.

As the car drove away from the base, Lin Chen activated his full-range perception, taking in all unusual movements within hundreds of meters.

Along the way, Lin Chen casually dealt with the few remaining mutants, while Bingchuan Cheng focused on driving, ensuring a smooth journey.

Their target was clear—the large suburban supermarkets and logistics warehouses previously guarded by the New Human Alliance.

Those were resource points seized during the alliance's expansion. Even if we have to rob them directly this time, we still need to get enough resources.

Both of them were somewhat surprised when they arrived at the supermarket entrance.

The door was open, and the inside was a mess, but there wasn't a single member of the alliance in sight, only scattered packaging and empty boxes.

"What happened to the New Human Alliance?" Hikawa Makoto wondered, looking at the traces at the scene, which seemed to be the result of chaotic looting during their escape. He stopped thinking about it. It was better that no one was guarding the area; at least there wouldn't be any conflict.

Without hesitation, the two divided the work and cooperated.

Bingchuan Cheng was in charge of moving the remaining supplies: food, oil, cold medicine, bandages—anything that could be used was loaded onto the truck.

Lin Chen stood guard at the door, sensing his surroundings to prevent any surprise attacks from the Unknown or mutants.

Afterwards, they rushed to the logistics warehouse, where the situation was the same as in the supermarket: unattended, with only a small amount of supplies remaining, but enough for emergency use.

After working for more than half an hour, the transport truck was packed to the brim. Looking at the mountain of supplies, Bingchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "This is enough to keep the base going for a few more days."

Lin Chen nodded and withdrew his senses: "Let's go, let's return."

The vehicle drove away from the cargo hold and sped towards the base.

When they reached the ruined section of the road halfway through, Lin Chen's expression suddenly tightened as he sensed a faint human presence and signals from more than ten mutant creatures.

"Stop the car, there's something going on up ahead."

Hikawa Makoto immediately slammed on the brakes, and the two got out of the car to check. Following the scent, they walked to a crevice in the ruins.

Kurosaki Ryuichi was curled up inside, covered in blood, his chest wound was festering, and his breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. More than a dozen mutants surrounded him, staring at him menacingly.

The once invincible leader of the New Human Alliance is now like a stray dog, powerless to resist.

"Is that Kurosaki?" Hikawa Makoto was taken aback, not expecting to run into him here. And in such a disheveled state.

Lin Chen didn't speak, and the Earth Emperor's phone immediately switched to rapid-fire mode.

Before the mutant could pounce on Kurosaki, Lin Chen raised his hand and fired. Each energy bullet landed precisely on the mutant, which instantly turned into particles of light and dissipated.

Hikawa Makoto also fired, the beam accurately hitting the remaining mutants, and a moment later, all the mutants were wiped out.

Lin Chen crouched down and checked Kurosaki's breath; there was still a faint trace of life.

Kurosaki slowly opened his eyes, saw Lin Chen and Hikawa Makoto, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which was then replaced by resentment and despair.

He opened his mouth, a hoarse sound coming from his throat, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence; only blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Bingchuan Cheng frowned: "He's too badly injured, he can't be saved."

Lin Chen didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Kurosaki.

This ambitious man, who once plotted to rule Tokyo and attack the G3 base, is now covered in wounds, utterly disheveled, and has lost even his last shred of dignity.

Kurosaki gasped for breath, his eyes gradually glazed over, and after taking one last look at the sky, his head lolled to the side, and he breathed his last.

An ambitious man, whose life ended in chaos.

Lin Chen and Bingchuan Cheng exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of emotion.

No matter how glorious or ambitious they once were, they died in this chaotic and crumbling world.

"Let's find a place to settle him down," Bingchuan Cheng said in a low voice.

The two simply dragged Kurosaki's body deep into the ruins and covered it with rubble. There were no extra ceremonies; in such chaotic times, even burial seemed like a luxury.

Just as he got back into the car, the communicator suddenly blared, and Ozawa Sumiko's urgent voice came through, filled with undisguised seriousness: "Lin Chen! Bingchuan! Emergency alarm!"

"Radar detected an entity with an extremely high energy peak, rapidly approaching the base; its energy fluctuations far exceed those of any previous Un."

Known!

"Come back quickly! The base is on high alert!"

Lin Chen and Bingchuan Cheng's expressions changed drastically, and they instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

An individual with such high energy that could make Ozawa so nervous must be an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

"Hurry up and go!" Lin Chen shouted.

Bingchuan Cheng immediately slammed on the gas pedal, and the transport vehicle accelerated instantly, its engine roaring as it sped towards the G3 base.

The ruins on both sides of the car window rushed past, and the two men looked solemn and remained silent.

They all knew that once that high-energy entity arrived at the base, another fierce battle was inevitable.

At this moment, tensions were already high inside the G3 base.

Hojo Toru donned his G3-II and stood guard at the base's main gate, beam rifle loaded, ready for battle.

Takahiro Omuro stared intently at the radar screen, watching the rapidly approaching red signal, his hands trembling slightly.

Sumiko Ozawa stood in front of the control panel, her eyes resolute, issuing instructions to ensure everyone was ready for battle.

The transport vehicle sped along, getting closer and closer to the base.

Lin Chen gripped the Earth Emperor phone in his pocket, extending his senses to their fullest extent, and could already vaguely detect that powerful aura.

When the two arrived at a place not far from the G3 base.

A deep, heavy aura swept over me, making my heart tighten.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a burly figure slowly emerged, standing over two meters tall. His entire body was covered in heavy, dark brown armor, and his outline resembled that of a lion. The ferocious markings on his head exuded an innate aura of power. Lin Chen recognized him—one of the three supreme deities, the Earth Angel.

Lin Chen's eyes instantly filled with seriousness.

The earth angel gripped a longsword with an ancient design—the Tower of Piety—in one hand. The blade gleamed with a dark, cold light. He landed steadily, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly. His icy eyes were fixed on the human settlement before him, filled with an unclean aura.

Without any extra movements, the Earth Angel raised his hand and delivered a powerful slash. The heavy sword pierced through the air and slammed into the base's defensive barrier. With another loud bang, the alloy wall cracked even more.

"We can't let it continue to destroy the base!" Lin Chen's expression turned grim. Without further hesitation, he inserted the belt into its slot and shouted, "Transform!"

A dazzling stream of light instantly enveloped his body, and armor interwoven with black and dark gold quickly covered his limbs and torso.

Holding the Earth Emperor Sword, Lin Chen flashed forward and charged straight at the Earth Angel.

Bingchuan, wielding a GX-05 Cerberus Vulcan cannon, charged forward, closely following Lin Chen to the battlefield.

Just then, a figure in silver-gray G3-II armor appeared from the entrance of the G3 base; it was none other than Toru Hojo, who was on high alert.

Seeing this, he joined the battle without hesitation, and the three of them formed a triangle, firmly surrounding the earth angel in the middle.

Battle is imminent.

Glacier fired first, the Vulcan cannon mounted on the G3-X spewing out dense tongues of fire, armor-piercing bullets raining down on the Earth Angel. But landing on its thick armor, they only produced a series of blinding sparks, not even leaving a shallow mark, completely unable to penetrate its defenses.

The angel of the earth was completely unconcerned about the oncoming barrage of fire. His expression was icy as he exerted force in his arm, and the Tower of Piety cleaved out with immense power. The sword wind howled, and the air itself was cut with a muffled sound.

Glacier's eyes narrowed, and he immediately rolled to the side to dodge. His heavy sword slammed into the ground, instantly cracking the hard cement floor with deep, spiderweb-like fissures, demonstrating terrifying destructive power.

Hojo maneuvered the G3-I back from the flank, using his assault rifle to fire in short bursts, precisely aiming at the weak point where the angel's joint connects.

However, the earth angel's physical defense was already extremely strong, and ordinary gun attacks were like tickling. Suddenly, the ground beneath its feet trembled slightly, and its body sank into the ground. Using its ability to move underground, it instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Beware of underground attacks!" Lin Chen warned in a deep voice, gripping the Earth Emperor Sword tightly and focusing his attention on guard.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground behind Lin Chen suddenly exploded into rubble, and the Earth Angel burst forth, its heavy sword aimed straight for his vital points with a swift and cunning attack. Lin Chen reacted extremely quickly, turning around and raising his Earth Emperor Sword to block. The two swords collided with a deafening roar, and a violent shockwave exploded outwards from the point of impact, instantly shattering the surrounding abandoned facilities.

A surge of immense power flowed through the sword, causing Lin Chen's arm to go slightly numb. He could clearly feel the terrifying, innate strength of the Earth Angel.

The close-quarters combat began instantly. The Earth Angel's fighting style was brutal and steady, without any fancy moves. Every sword strike was powerful and heavy, and every move was aimed at vital points. He relied on his invincible physical body to withstand all attacks and seized any openings to launch fierce counterattacks.

A faint, scorching glow emanated from its palm, with fine, crimson sand particles swirling around its fingertips. This was its unique hot sand ability, and the scorching heat emanated from it. Once touched, it could instantly burn armor and corrode the body.

Lin Chen controlled the Earth Emperor to engage in close combat with the Earth Angel. The Earth Emperor's sword flew up and down, colliding frequently with the Shrine of Piety, the crisp sound of metal clashing echoing endlessly. However, the Earth Angel's defense was simply too outrageous. His punches and kicks had no effect on it. Instead, it would occasionally use its underground stealth to suddenly change positions and flank from behind, forcing Lin Chen to retreat and defend continuously.

Hikawa and Hojo were also busy, working in perfect harmony, constantly moving and restraining the Earth Angel from the left and right. G3-X, with its agile mobility, constantly switched weapon modes, bombarding the Earth Angel with missiles and firearms in turn, attracting its attention; while G3-I was steady and methodical, accurately predicting the opponent's movements, occasionally getting close to probe and restrict its range of movement.

This was a fierce and arduous battle. The three attacked in turn, but they could not break through the earth angel's heavy armor. Instead, they had to be constantly wary of its heavy sword strikes and the corrosive heat of its sand. A slight mistake would result in serious injury.

The Earth Angel remained calm and domineering, neither arrogant nor impatient. Relying on its absolute physical strength and underground mobility, it steadily suppressed the three, showing no signs of defeat.

After several rounds of fighting, everyone realized that conventional attacks were no match for this Venerable One.

Hikawa immediately gave Hojo a look, and the two instantly understood, reaching a tacit agreement. They abandoned their reckless assault and instead accelerated their advance. The G3-X, shouldering its heavy cannon, faced the Angel's attack head-on, deliberately drawing all fire; Hojo piloted the G3-II.

It charged suddenly from the side, precisely blocking the angel's movements and tightly binding its limbs.

Holding the two back tightly, the Earth Angel flew into a rage, letting out a low roar as it swept its greatsword wildly, spewing out scorching sand from its palms. The scorching airwaves swept across the entire area as it exerted all its pressure, trying to break free. Hikawa and Hojo gritted their teeth and withstood the impact, their armor slightly burning from the heatwave, they held their positions firmly, not giving the Earth Angel any chance to break free and gather its strength.

It's now!

Seizing this fleeting opening, Lin Chen immediately pulled back to create distance, activated his ultimate attack command, raised the Earth Emperor Sword high, and his photon blood energy frantically converged towards the sword.

As the local angels sensed the danger and tried to break free and defend, Hikawa and Hojo simultaneously retreated sharply, avoiding the sweeping attack of the heavy sword. In that instant, Lin Chen had already completed his preparations.

His figure leaped into the air, swooping down with the force of breaking through the air. The Earth Emperor's ultimate slash, brimming with energy, crashed down. The giant energy blade struck down like a thunderbolt, accurately hitting the Earth Angel's heavy armor on his chest.

A dull, deafening roar erupted, shattering the seemingly indestructible heavy armor and instantly disrupting and dissipating the dark energy. The earth angel let out a low, mournful cry, its massive body collapsing heavily to the ground, the chilling aura surrounding it slowly dissipating as it lost all life.

As the smoke slowly dissipated, the base's damaged outer walls remained a scene of utter devastation. Lin Chen deactivated his transformation, and Hikawa and Hojo removed their armor. The three of them gazed at the Earth Angels on the ground, which were beginning to materialize into light particles. All of them wore expressions of exhaustion from the fierce battle, and their tense minds finally began to relax.
