The beast's blood spilled onto the ground, and sulfur gushed continuously from the wound.
The battle finally ended when the final death ray annihilated the invader who, even after being cut in half at the waist, was still crawling forward on his two hands.
However, even with ample preparations, this ambush was a Pyrrhic victory; the giant beast collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.
"Ronald!" the girl called out.
Everyone rushed to his side, and the doctor immediately prepared a special injection for him, along with a large amount of emergency medication.
"I'm fine..." the unlucky guy said with a bitter smile, but the next moment, he couldn't control his spasming internal organs and began to vomit, the acidic water mixed with a lot of blood.
"Don't speak, don't be stubborn, doctor, please..." The girl's helpless movements appeared in the wilderness.
As the stretcher carried him away, the boy simply stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs-up. In the setting sun, this thumbs-up seemed to come into everyone's view.
In the distance, Yun Xing watched this scene in silence. This time, he did not come up, but instead clenched his fists.
This shouldn't be happening. This is completely wrong. Why is it that even though we've made thorough preparations, we still need to rely on Zero's power to achieve our goal?
He knew that the greater the power, the greater the side effects. Compared to his own minor injuries, such as ruptured capillaries, and his junior brother's seemingly life-threatening transformations, he understood everything.
He might die next time, or the time after that.
"Lord Yunxing, your injuries..."
“No need, I can handle it myself,” he said.
He left directly and returned to the familiar capital, which finally calmed his mind a little.
Returning to the lab first, Yunxing stared blankly at the familiar trench coat on the hanger. It was her teacher's coat, simply hanging on the hanger. Looking at its back was like seeing her teacher's back.
He walked over, took off the coat, put it on, and went outside.
The capital city was now fully immersed in an atmosphere of reconstruction.
Large amounts of rubble were cleared, and then bulldozers demolished all the affected houses. Finally, countless tin-roofed houses were built on the ruins to ensure that people could get through the disaster safely.
The children began to forget the disaster of a few days ago, holding balloons in their hands, playing among the ruins as if they had forgotten their troubles.
Seeing this, Yun Xing was able to smile slightly. He felt that he had forgotten those difficulties and responsibilities. He was not tall, and there were many things in this world that he could not handle.
But he had to force himself to hold on, because he was the one entrusted with his son by his teacher. If he gave up on this commitment, he didn't know what purpose he would have left to live.
But the child tripped over a loose stone and fell, and beneath her was a protruding steel bar.
"Watch out!" Yunxing rushed over immediately. Just before she was about to be pierced by the steel bars, the water flow seemed to act as a cushion, helping her to stop the momentum of her fall.
The girl was stunned until she was lifted up by the water and saw Yunxing casting a spell in the distance. She immediately stood up and said, "Big brother, psychic, thank you for saving me."
The little girl's mother also noticed what had just happened. She broke out in a cold sweat and immediately rushed over to thank Yunxing, bowing repeatedly and expressing her gratitude.
When it was time to part, the little girl seemed to notice Yunxing's worries and asked, "Big brother, why are you wearing this ill-fitting dress?"
Yunxing fell silent. He was wearing his teacher's clothes. His teacher was 1.8 meters tall, while he was only 1.6 meters tall. Although he was still young and could grow taller, the clothes, which were several sizes too big, did not fit him properly.
"I'm sorry, the child keeps saying things I can't understand," the mother said, bowing quickly.
“No.” Yunxing smiled and patted her head. “Because this is the clothes left behind by my favorite hero.”
"Sigh... Is this the big brother's favorite hero?" She couldn't imagine it at all, because to her, this big brother was already her hero.
"Yes, but I can never become him." Yunxing looked at the ruins of the imperial capital, and at this moment, memories of the past seemed to flood back into her mind.
"Why do you say that? In my eyes, you are a hero, big brother." The little girl's innocent words stunned Yunxing. As she walked away, she turned back and said, "I want to wear clothes like yours when I grow up!"
Watching her departing figure, watching the sunset gradually sink below the horizon, his fingers clenched tightly.
Yes, for others, you are already their last resort. Do you still have time to be confused and sigh here?
"Lord Yunxing! Your attendance is required for the next operational meeting." A black luxury car stopped in front of him. Yunxing looked at the councilor who got out of the car. He recognized him. He had met this councilor once before in the Twin Towers.
"Is there any Super Beast Serum left?" Yun Xing asked the councilor.
"Well, due to the severe side effects, this serum has been completely recalled and destroyed. Although this experiment can indeed turn people into super beasts, all humans will get lost in it. We can no longer risk gambling on that elusive chance; that would be a crime..." The councilor was already drenched in sweat, explaining incessantly.
"Yes, or no?"
"A little bit was still left..."
"Give me the injection," he said, looking at the ruins of the city.
The senator was stunned. He looked at the second person in the world to possess a magic ring, and also the second child in the world to transform into a giant beast. He didn't know how to dissuade him.
All he could say was, "That's an extremely dangerous thing. To this day, no one has been able to remain rational after that transformation... It's a forbidden power..."
"I will succeed!" Yunxing declared his victory, "because I am, in essence, already a behemoth."
Chapter 135 We Are All Monsters
In the conference room, all the councilors were seriously analyzing the enemy.
“We’ve already translated their language, their country is called the ‘Super Iron Curtain,’ and these soldiers seem to be bio-engineered beings…” A senator displayed the intelligence from the research institute on the screen.
They gasped when they saw the massive physical parameters of the Hell Vanguard, followed by a comparison between them and the behemoths.
"Those invaders really were like humanoid behemoths..." someone remarked.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over. They also had humanoid behemoths, but only two of them, and one of them was seriously injured and was still in the emergency room.
The other one insisted on being injected with the super-beast serum. He has already been injected with an inactivated serum and has begun to absorb large amounts of the flesh and blood of other giant beasts.
"Perhaps, those enemies are essentially humanoid behemoths. The technology on those behemoths is essentially the same as the technology on them. After all, our thousands of years of suffering and the behemoths are the root of our problems." The door opened, and Yun Xing walked in, still wearing his ill-fitting clothes.
Despite his young age, his power and the aura of a behemoth made him impossible to underestimate. In fact, just by standing there, everyone would regard him as the next monarch.
The youngest monarch in history.
"Lord Yunxing, your body..."
"Don't worry, it's as expected, much easier than I imagined." He smiled as he looked at the screen, at the councilors who stood at the highest level of humanity.
Nearly half of them were ordinary people, and the vast majority of the remaining half of the psionicists were also first-tier psionicists, with only a dozen or so being second-tier.
However, for humans now, the previous ratings of psionicists are completely irrelevant. Under the new system, perhaps in just a few hundred years, or even a few decades, they will be able to have organized armies that can control the power of giant beasts.
At that time, they might even be confident of fighting back against the invaders, but the time would be too short, and the invaders wouldn't give them time to develop.
We have no choice but to fight!
"Gentlemen, in the face of the next invaders, I propose the use of nuclear weapons." Yun Xing looked at the council chairman, who nodded, and he stated his plan.
"The power of Zero is beyond our current comprehension, so we must not place our hopes on a power that could be lost at any moment. Therefore, I suggest that the next ambush operation should use nuclear weapons directly!" His voice echoed in the council hall.
"And learning from this lesson, this time we must prepare several nuclear weapons simultaneously to deal with this war."
……
The super iron curtain, the command post.
"The second and third squads lost contact one after the other. They had been operating on that planet for several hours, but still found no trace of civilization, only endless ruins. They lost contact with those super beasts in the end." The intelligence officer transmitted this information.
This intelligence has been distorted and modified. The truth is that both squads were wiped out as soon as they arrived. The first squad didn't even know who the enemy was before they were completely killed in the explosion and fire.
Although the intelligence they brought back was largely in line with expectations, the cautious commander remained hesitant about whether to launch a full-scale invasion.
For him, conquering new planets and controlling those behemoths would be an unparalleled achievement and his biggest bargaining chip for running for the next presidency.
But if he were to accidentally get involved with those meddlesome guys from the Starfleet, forget about running for president; he'd probably have to commit suicide in front of everyone in the Iron Curtain to apologize.
"General, should we continue sending people to gather intelligence, or send troops directly? The giant beasts over there are not easy to deal with; many are at the level of magic-powered mechs," the intelligence officer cautiously advised him.
"The last reconnaissance team, this time we've dispatched a squad of magical mechs. The magical mech force is already our most elite fighting force. If even this can be attacked by those beasts, these are no ordinary beasts; they are clearly evil beasts that threaten the peace of the universe! We must strike hard!"
"Understood! Loyal! Honest!"
After the intelligence officer left, the general looked at the terrifying magical demon on the screen. It was the culmination of their technology, the ultimate and most powerful strategic weapon capable of burning an entire continent with a single strike, and also the ultimate weapon he would be piloting in this operation.
Thinking of this, the general couldn't help but hum softly.
"Finally, we'll gather intelligence one by one. If we still find no trace of civilization, then we'll launch a full-scale attack! Let those brainless beasts see true power."
……
Meanwhile, on the giant planet, Ronald finally awoke to the sound of his rapid heartbeat.
He struggled to his feet, then saw the girl who had been sleeping on top of him wake up and say, "Wait, don't push yourself. I'll go find a doctor right away..."
Ronald wanted to say no, he had now inherited Zero's super speed regeneration, and as long as he had time, he could recover from even the most serious injuries.
However, he felt pain all over his body just by sitting up.
Inside his body, the giant beast had carved a circle that was halfway through his life, allowing him to deeply understand that he had actually lived half of his life.
Even with his superhuman regeneration, he didn't think he could recover after completing the final quarter of his journey, so he only had one last chance to transform...
Looking at the Möbius strip in his hand, which seemed to be beating like a heart, Ronald looked outside.
They have returned to the capital, and this is even the hospital she frequents most often. Because it is far from the palace, it suffered little damage and has become the place that treats the most disaster victims.
"My entire life has been a complete failure so far..." The loser stared at the Möbius strip in his hand, gripping it tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh, yet he seemed oblivious to everything.
"Teacher, why did you choose me? Why did you choose me to inherit this power? Teacher, what else can I do..."
Soon, the girl brought the doctor into the ward. He immediately and clumsily put the Möbius strip back into his body, pretending to be nonchalant as he scratched his head.
"His physical recovery is far beyond what others imagined. Perhaps this is an advantage we don't know about in the legal system. In this case, he can fully recover in just a few months," the doctor said after examining him.
"Huh? A few months?" Ronald was completely stunned; he was utterly dumbfounded by the timing.
"Yes, you can't continue fighting for a while. If you continue like this, your injuries won't have time to heal and recover, and eventually, you'll die." The doctor's tone was very serious, and then, seemingly wanting to give the two young people some space, he hurriedly left.
Ronald fell silent, his hands trembling, feeling utterly useless.
"No, you've done very well." The girl held his hand. Usually, his hand was warmer than hers, but now it was ice cold, like that of someone about to die.
Outside the hospital, lights flickered in the night, and the sounds of hammers striking and drills spinning mingled together, creating a deafening noise from the massive reconstruction project, even near the hospital.
A night breeze blew by, raising a cloud of dust, and in the wind, it seemed to carry the sounds of the entire world.
The young couple remained silent, leaning against each other, quietly listening to the sounds of the world around them, and the warmth and heartbeats between them.
"Knock knock," the door was knocked, and then a man and a woman walked in.
"Senior brother, senior sister..." Ronald reacted instantly and immediately prepared to get up, but his weak body did not support him to continue moving like this.
"Don't rush, I know you're in a hurry, but now is not the time for you to rush." Yunxing's cold face made Ronald feel embarrassed for a moment.
