Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

She really thought she was going to die.

While it is honorable to sacrifice oneself for the greater good of humanity, everyone inevitably feels fear when facing death.

"Be careful, those two monsters are extremely difficult to deal with. Ordinary attacks won't be able to break through their defenses," Alexis warned Natsuki over the communicator.

Behind the Shaolin knight-errant.

Both the ridge-backed turtle and the velociraptor had risen again, staring intently at the Shaolin Ranger.

"Don't worry, every attack I launch is not a normal attack," Xia Shu's voice came through the communicator.

Inside the silver-white mecha, the roar of the engine and the meshing of gears proclaimed the mecha's fighting spirit, as if the mecha itself was excited about being able to fight.

When the mech and the pilot first form a mental connection, the mech already possesses a soul. This mech resonates with the will of the previous generation's pilot, burning its engine to be able to kill the enemy again!

As a third-generation mecha, under Natsuki's control, its performance was in no way inferior to that of the fifth-generation mecha, Eureka Raider!

"What's the situation like inside the Shaolin Wanderer's Hall?"

Inside the command center, Field Marshal Stark asked Cai Tiantong, expressing his deep concern for the situation on the ground.

"The Shaolin Ranger's system is running normally, but his right hand is damaged. However, for some reason, it has formed the shape of a fist in an irregular arrangement."

"Also... Mr. Natsuki's synchronization rate with the mecha cannot be displayed."

"I don't know if the instrument is malfunctioning, or..." Cai Tiantong already had a guess in his mind, but he didn't say it outright.

"His control over that mech can no longer be described by synchronization rate," Marshal Stark added.

What used to require two pilots, Natsuki can now pilot with just one person, and can even disregard synchronization rates to unleash the mecha's extraordinary performance.

Beings from advanced civilizations are a form of dimensional reduction for them in every aspect!

Faced with two monsters that were about to pounce.

The Shaolin warrior made a move that should never have happened on a mecha.

Amidst the creaking of the mecha parts, the Shaolin Ranger's lower body steadied itself, his left palm extended forward in a loose grip, while his right fist was tucked back to his waist, allowing him to stand firm despite the crashing waves.

This is the starting stance of the Cosmic Fist Technique.

......

......

The seabed of the Pacific Ocean, inside the gap.

"The three-headed monster has set off, and the other two will follow closely behind, and after them... there will be more."

"Humans... are merely tools for our use, and once they lose their value, they should be destroyed."

Monster Factory, within the Pioneer Colony space.

The archbishop-level pioneer looked at the monster that had been fully cultivated and spoke with disdain in his unique language.

In his view, and that of most pioneers, humanity was merely a pawn to be used to alter the Earth's environment, and that they should wisely self-destruct rather than engage in foolish resistance.

Yogi stood beside him, his eyes shifting.

He remembered that the pioneers in the Pacific Rim were originally going to fail; this guy was really confident.

However, this confidence is still justified now.

Quake has already done a lot of preparation for them.

They knew that humans were going to drop nuclear bombs here, and they had prepared countermeasures. They would not give the nuclear bombs a chance to explode; on the contrary, they would send out more monsters to destroy all life on Earth.

Even with Ultraman's help, he remained completely calm.

Not to mention that the monsters sent out were already enough to give the other side a hard time, even if they were able to successfully defeat those monsters, the three minutes of the battle time would not be much left by the time they got here.

And here, countless monsters await their opponent.

Yochi even thought that Quake had done too much preparation, which was not giving him a chance to perform.

This time, they will slaughter every living thing on Earth and utterly crush the fate of this world!

Chapter 40 Faith

Since the first monster invasion, the skeletons left behind on the land have become many landmarks. The monster's flesh and blood have been removed, the poison in its blood has been purified, and some displaced people have once again gathered around the remaining skeletons.

San Francisco, USA.

Near the skeleton of the monster codenamed "Intruder," some residual radiation from the nuclear explosion still lingers. However, the homeless vagrants disregard this and gather in the area, forming a market. Various ruins and steel parts are scattered on the ground, creating utter chaos.

Beneath this market, which is a gathering place for homeless people, lies a hidden base.

"Steker's forces have begun operations."

What do you think their chances of success are?

In a high-tech room filled with numerous monitors, an image of the United Nations representative of the United States appeared on the screen and asked the man in the room a question.

“Zero,” Zachary Lyman, with his neatly combed brown hair, replied.

He sat in a chair, holding a semi-transparent tablet terminal, debugging the system used to drive the mech.

“Destroying the breach is not an easy task. They have far too few mechs, and Strick Pantecost is unwilling to accept my assistance, which means the plan is doomed to failure.”

"Their actions are a waste of existing resources."

When the Ridgeback Turtle attacked Sitka, Lyman learned that there were also Transcendents in the Pioneer camp, which meant that Marshal Strick's plan could not succeed. The Pioneers must have already known about the operation to blow up the breach.

“But don’t worry, Mr. Taylor.”

He put down the semi-transparent tablet in his hand, looked at the image on the display screen, and said confidently.

"The biggest drawback of the Hunter mech is that it requires a pilot to operate, and training an excellent pilot is more difficult than building ten mechs, which fundamentally limits our power."

"Unmanned aerial vehicles that do not require a pilot to operate them do not have this drawback, and can be mass-produced and armed, rapidly enhancing our overall strength in a short period of time."

"I have completed a batch of my mass-produced drone mechs. With your funding, the factory has been expanded and more mechs are under construction. It will take less than a month to complete the global deployment of drone mechs."

The Hunter Jaegers are too expensive to manufacture and require two skilled pilots to be trained before they can be used effectively. With the monsters growing stronger, Marshal Stark's forces are a money pit, constantly destroying Jaegers and killing pilots, which has caused the United Nations to lose faith in them.

Lyman's proposal is more reliable in comparison; a good mech is one that doesn't require consideration of personnel costs.

The United Nations chose to fund Lehman precisely because of this.

“We can increase our investment and make sure to complete the deployment of our defenses as soon as possible,” Taylor said after a few seconds of thought.

When the Giant of Light first appeared in Sitka, no footage was recorded due to the EMP attack of the Ridgeback Turtle. Only a few workers witnessed the scene, and the news did not spread.

When government officials inquired about the situation, Marshal Stark did not disclose Natsuki's existence to avoid causing too much trouble.

Therefore, they were all convinced that Marshal Strick's forces would fail, and they saw no need to invest in a doomed plan; they would rather use the funds for a more reliable one.

"I love how generous you are when you add more money." Lyman's lips curled into a smile as soon as he heard that the other party wanted to increase their support for him.

He casually picked up a glass of red wine from the table and smiled as he greeted Taylor.

"For the future of humanity."

"For...the future of humanity," Taylor said firmly.

......

Shattered Dome Base, Command Center.

"Mr. Natsuki has arrived at the battlefield."

"Crimson Storm is safe and sound." Cai Tiantong said with a sigh of relief as he looked at the information on the holographic screen.

Marshal Strick also breathed a sigh of relief.

His misjudgment of the enemy monster's strength was a dereliction of duty.

He hadn't expected that Tail-Standing Rat would be so effective against Storm Crimson. To be honest, the fighting power this monster displayed was nothing like that of a Level 4 monster; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was Level 5.

"It seems this battle won't be over for long." Raleigh, who had been ordered to stay put, crossed his arms and smiled upon hearing Natsuki's reaction.

He had seen Natsuki fight, and to call it a complete rout was an understatement.

Although he couldn't participate in the battle, he was happy to hear his alien friends wreaking havoc.

"After the Shaolin Ranger killed the Tail-Standing Rat, he rescued Cherno Alpha and is preparing to fight the Ridgeback Turtle and the Nargacuga..." Cai Tiantong relayed the news from the battle.

Suddenly, an unusual signal appeared on the radar.

"Wait... something is approaching this base!"

As soon as he said that, everyone in the command center turned to look at him.

He immediately retrieved the detailed information.

"This is... a monster!?" Cai Tiantong's eyes widened when he saw the scan results. "The gap didn't react at all, so why did a monster suddenly appear!?"

"What?" Marshal Stark and Raleigh both leaned over at the same time, looking at the huge figure in the infrared image.

“This movement trajectory…” Cai Tiantong’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he pondered, “This monster didn’t come out of the gap. Strange, why is that?”

Where did this monster come from?

“This shape…” Raleigh looked at the infrared image of the monster and felt that it looked familiar. Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind.

"It's the [Scythe-Headed]!" He recognized the monster; it was extremely similar to the one he had personally killed five years ago!

“Sicklehead?” Marshal Strucker frowned. “It was killed five years ago, and its body sank into the Gulf of Alaska. We’ve confirmed that.”

Upon hearing this, Raleigh also frowned.

Cai Tiantong pondered for two seconds and guessed, "It might be a similar species, just like the second ridged turtle that appeared today."

"There are countless doubts surrounding its emergence."

"But what is certain now is that it is heading towards this base and will arrive soon."

The monster appeared too suddenly; they had to make a judgment immediately.

"We will strike immediately," Old Hansen said solemnly as he led Young Hansen to Marshal Stark.

This base must not be destroyed. As a fifth-generation Jaeger, the Eureka Raider is fully capable of taking down a monster single-handedly.

"No, the nuclear missile will be installed in ten minutes." Marshal Stark rejected his request to launch the attack.

As soon as he said that, little Hansen stepped forward.
