The entire building emitted a deep hum, and its outer structure gleamed with a hardened sheen that was visible to the naked eye, a characteristic of metal reinforcement.
A massive shadow, like a curtain of despair, rapidly enveloped the entire balcony area. The sky outside the window was completely obscured, and even the faint starlight vanished.
There's no time to move!
Rose's eyes narrowed, and she moved like a golden gust of wind, instantly reaching the edge of the spacious viewing balcony.
The wind suddenly turned violent, carrying the biting cold of outer space and the stench of fermenting gastric juices emanating from the monster.
Boom! A deafening roar, accompanied by a violent shockwave, slammed into the exterior walls of the apartment building!
The entire building groaned and shook violently under the strain!
But outside the balcony, the expected impact of hard, cold monster claws or terrifying bird beaks did not occur.
A thin electromagnetic shield, yet shimmering with a bluish light, appeared out of thin air less than half a meter from the glass wall of the balcony at the critical moment!
"Buzz!"
The deep blue starlight barrier, like the most solid wall of sighs, completely kept out the mouthparts of Bemstar that were pressing fiercely against the barrier, trying to devour everything!
The enormous beak and its round mouthparts, gleaming with greed, were deformed and pressed against the barrier surface by the violent impact. One could even clearly see the barrier slightly dented inward by the immense suction force.
They were too close! So close that Rose could even clearly see the distorted reflection of the balcony scene in Bemstein's eyes.
You can see the transparent mucus secreted from the edge of that huge mouth slowly dripping down, but it is instantly broken down into weak energy particles by the barrier and dissipates.
The wind tossed her long, golden hair, brushing against her expressionless face.
A colossal cosmic monster, and tiny human scientists.
Separated by a thin layer of blue light, capable of withstanding a million-ton impact, but currently experiencing a rapid drop in energy readings and constant ripples due to Bemstein's innate energy absorption properties.
The two stared at each other, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
All that remained in the air was Bemstein's muffled breathing, which created a powerful vortex of suction, and the teeth-grinding buzzing shriek of the overloaded protective barrier system.
The soybean ball screamed and rolled to Rose's feet. The temperature sensor alarm icon on the surface of the ball was flashing wildly: "Boss!! The barrier energy output has been forcibly absorbed! The shield power is rapidly decreasing! Local overload collapse is expected in 7 seconds!! The physical armor layer can only withstand 10 more seconds of impact at most!"
Rose's icy blue eyes were fixed on the twisted, greedy face of the monster so close to her outside the barrier. All her displeasure turned into a cold, piercing smile at the corner of her mouth.
She raised her right hand, a dangerous arc of electricity flashing at the tip of her index finger, aimed it at the enormous eyes beyond the barrier, and stated a fact with a tone as calm as if she were stating a fact: "Disturbing sleep. Unhygienic. Visiting without permission and without a gift..."
The light at his fingertips suddenly became blinding, and the high-energy electric arc crackled and popped.
"What an impolite new pet."
"—Go cool off at the express delivery transfer station!"
The moment she finished speaking, the modified Morgan Water Mirror phantom unfolded silently behind her like a wheel.
A deep, miniature portal leading to the icy asteroid belt opened precisely and silently beneath Bemstar's massive body.
Before Bemstein, who had been forcibly transported to the icy asteroid belt, had fully recovered from the dizziness, his greedy and ferocious instincts were reignited.
Earth—that blue planet brimming with abundant energy—was originally set on an irresistible allure.
The hunger in its abdomen, mixed with the rage of being toyed with by spatial teleportation, caused it to let out a hiss that was a mixture of pain and madness.
Bemstein's massive body suddenly turned around, like a runaway vengeful comet in the universe, and once again rushed wildly toward Earth!
Meanwhile, on the balcony of the apartment, which had been left in a mess by Rose's emergency relocation, the spatial ripples had not yet completely subsided. Suddenly, the distant sky was illuminated by two scorching trails of flame that tore through the air!
"Whoosh—Boom!"
With the roar of engines and the heavy thud of metal hitting the ground, the special operations aircraft Uindam and King Ghosn landed precisely on the damaged street like two mountains falling from the sky.
Inside the cockpit, Yoko and Haruki witnessed the scene of Bemstar's hideous face calmly confronting Dr. Rose before he disappeared, all through a remote real-time video feed, and their hearts were in their throats.
"Doctor! Are you alright?" Haruki's voice came urgently through the mecha's external loudspeaker, filled with worry.
Rose stood with her back to them on the edge of the dilapidated balcony, her blonde hair fluttering in the night breeze. She didn't turn around, merely waving casually, her voice as calm as ever: "Just some renovation stuff. The target has been temporarily evicted, but—"
Her voice suddenly rose: "Target has re-entered the atmosphere! Energy signal locked onto this area! Expected contact—27 seconds! Be on alert!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the sky was once again torn apart by a huge burning "meteorite"!
With unprecedented ferocity and carrying the cold and destructive aura of outer space, Bemstein crashed down!
"Boom—!!!" The earth trembled violently, and a terrifying shockwave swept outwards. This time, it landed even closer to Rose's apartment, and the blast wave instantly hurled even more debris!
"Understood!" Yoko didn't hesitate at all. King Gyo was like a golden whirlwind, instantly activating his jet propulsion and leaping into the air, nimbly cutting into the battlefield from the right at high speed.
Chapter 131 Super Beasts Defeated the Space Monsters
Bemstein showed no sign of backing down, instead opening its signature gaping maw, resembling a deep abyss. The powerful beam of light was swallowed up without mercy, like a stream flowing into a valley, leaving only fleeting ripples of energy on its resilient surface.
"Energy attack ineffective!" Yoko piloted the King Joe at high speed alongside Bemstar, searching for an opportunity for close-quarters combat. "I need to find a way to control its head!"
"Then let's use brute force!" Yao Hui's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. Taking advantage of the moment when Bemstar was stunned after absorbing the missile, the Windom engine roared, and the massive steel body charged forward! "Take this!" With a roar, the giant fist forged from Windom alloy slammed into the relatively weak part of Bemstar's side joint with the force of a thunderbolt!
"Roar—!!" The excruciating pain from the broken joints caused Bemstar to let out a heart-wrenching howl. His massive body was jolted and nearly rolled over! Now! Yoko's eyes narrowed, and King Joe's arms, like mechanical clamps locking onto a target, closed precisely with tremendous force, gripping the monster's relatively slender neck tightly, desperately restricting the movement of its head and the direction of its swallowing opening.
"Well done! Yoko-senpai!" Haruki's spirits soared, and Windom immediately pressed forward with all its might. Its heavy armored fuselage, like an iron wall, firmly held Bemstar's body, which was slightly curled up in pain, attempting to form a perfect suppressive force with King Joe. The two special operations machines worked in perfect coordination, like a well-made bear trap, temporarily pinning this raging cosmic monster to the rubble!
However, Bemstar's infamous reputation for ferocity was well-deserved. In just seconds, it recovered from the sudden, painful blow and began to struggle furiously. "Ugh—!!" Just as Bemstar was writhing violently, King Joe was almost thrown off, and Windom's mechanical joints creaked under the strain, a sudden change occurred!
Not far from where the three were fighting, the clear sky, like fragile glass, was torn open with a sharp "crack!" by an indescribable, purely malicious, and ferocious aura! The scene of the rift was not the azure sky, but a dark red interdimensional passage as viscous as surging blood, rolling with twisted resentment! A killing intent a hundred times more ferocious than Bemstar, as chilling as a tangible current, poured out from it.
The Bemstar, which had been struggling frantically just a second ago, suddenly froze! Its bird eyes widened to their limit, the reflection of the ripped figure in its pupils. It was an overwhelming fear from the depths of its genes, and its body trembled violently as if it were a leaf! Even Yoko and Haruki in the cockpit were chilled to the bone by this sudden surge of malice, and King Joe and Windom's movements froze for a moment.
"Roar...Gah—!!!" A piercing scream, sharp enough to shatter eardrums, erupted from the crack! A ferocious head suddenly emerged! It was the Super Beast Baraba!! This Showa veteran's nightmare, a polymer of otherworldly resentment, its beastly eyes burning with chaotic and destructive flames, coldly locked onto the pinned Bemstar below, like a raptor eyeing its defenseless prey!
"Roar—!!" Completely shattered by the gaze of its natural enemy, Bemstar let out a terrifying howl that was almost a breakdown! The instinct for survival overwhelmed everything! It could no longer care about struggling against the two special operations aircraft entangled in front of it, and suddenly burst out with power far exceeding its previous strength. Its giant wings flapped wildly, instantly blasting away Windom, which was pressing against its body, and King Joe, which was clamping its neck! The two special operations aircraft rolled like rag dolls hit by a battering ram, crashing into several half-destroyed buildings before barely coming to a stop. Alarms flashed wildly in the cockpit, and the communication channels were filled with static!
Breaking free from its restraints, Bemstar didn't even dare look back. Its massive body, in a panicked frenzy, fled like a startled bird away from the rift. Barabara, however, didn't seem in a hurry to chase its prey. Its enormous head turned, its crimson eyes scanning the battlefield, as if still sensing something. When its gaze focused on Windom, who had just struggled to his feet, the Ace Emblem in the box seemed to sense the presence of its nemesis and began to flash incessantly.
"Ace—!!!" A furious roar, brimming with endless resentment and defiance, tore through the air! It violently twisted its body, attempting to force its massive form out of the narrow spatial rift, its enormous bone wings flapping and tearing at the edges. However, the space torn apart by the immense energy was unstable. Under the super beast's violent movements, the purplish-black energy at the rift's edge leaped and flickered wildly like ripped rags, emitting a piercing noise. Finally, with a chilling cracking sound, the rift was as if clenched and sewn shut by an invisible giant hand, violently twisting before crashing shut! Only the lingering echo of Barabana's shrill scream, seemingly from the abyss, filled with endless resentment and violence, reverberated endlessly above the smoke-filled, deathly silent city: "Ace—!!!"
This sudden battle ended abruptly in an absurd and brutal manner. Windom and King Joe struggled to their feet from the rubble, their mechs bearing numerous scratches and dents, and faint humming alarms emanating from their joints. Inside the cockpit, Haruki and Yoko were drenched in cold sweat, panting heavily. The sheer malevolent pressure they had just experienced still lingered in their bones, leaving them with a lingering fear.
Rose stood on the edge of the broken balcony, silently gazing at the sky where the cracks had disappeared. The wind whipped her long hair and the hem of her clothes, and her icy blue eyes flashed with an unprecedented solemnity and coldness. "The Yapool..." she murmured to herself. Facing the oppressive force of this pure otherworldly resentment up close was far more terrifying than analyzing cold, hard video footage. The style of the crack, the bone-deep malice... there was no mistake. Bemstar was nothing more than a ferocious beast that had arrived by accident. The Super Beast Baraba, this poisonous blade forged from otherworldly resentment, was the trial that the guardians of this planet would now face.
The last trace of distorted resentment in the sky vanished completely, leaving only a mess of wreckage, lingering smoke, and a deathly silence above the ruins.
The appearance of the Super Beast shattered the peace of Earth. Snake Warehouse leaned against the shadows of the corridor outside the command center, the emergency lights casting flickering halos across his face. Baraba's shriek still seemed to echo in his ears, and an invisible tension permeated the air—the pool was no longer tranquil.
Chapter 132 Actually, I think hacking into the Technology Bureau wouldn't be a bad idea.
The screen of the private terminal lit up faintly, and a top-secret encrypted communication request marked "internal confidential" popped up—from Rose.
Hebikura glanced around, his figure blending into the shadows of the walls, and silently slipped into an empty tactical analysis room. The door locked behind him, shutting out the noise from the maintenance crew in the distance.
After confirming that the anti-detection barrier was activated, he connected to the communication.
Rose's figure did not appear in the familiar laboratory or the apartment that had just been attacked, but was projected in the center of a virtual data space surrounded by dark purple runes.
His icy blue eyes held no hint of pleasantries as he cut to the chase: "I need information on the Super Beast Baraba and the Yapools, in detail."
She knew very well that, as a non-native of this universe, the former cosmic mercenary in front of her was undoubtedly the fastest source of intelligence to find out the background of this veteran villain.
Jugglus raised an eyebrow, his deliberately drawn-out tone filled with sarcasm.
"Oh? Where's your precious Zero? That little guy who claims to be able to penetrate any firewall, why don't you just take a look at the database in the Land of Light? It's the real deal, no deception."
These words struck Rose squarely at her weak point. The holographic image froze for a moment, and the array of runes surrounding her suddenly rippled with a few disordered waves.
Rose pursed her lips, and for the first time ever, a hint of embarrassed cowardice flashed across her usually calm eyes.
"...Don't try to trap me." Her voice was low, as if she had done something wrong. "Do you think the Land of Light's database is a public temple of knowledge? It's Hikari's backyard! The Space Garrison's lair!"
Thinking of the possible consequences, her tone unconsciously became tinged with lingering fear: "Even if Zero manages to sneak in and access the outer archives, the charge of unauthorized access to the Land of Light's SSS-level classified database will be confirmed..."
"You think those workaholics at the Science and Technology Bureau would send over a flimsy, friendly notification? What awaits me is an interstellar courier package that could fill an entire starship corridor, complete with a summons!"
When the Land of Light's Science and Technology Bureau was mentioned, Rose seemed to have opened a floodgate of suppressed emotions, and the virtual image even simulated a hint of exasperation:
"Haven't you ever browsed the anonymous section of the cosmic forum?! Look at those Blue Race members with their aliases and dark circles under their eyes, wailing in the corner!"
"Working overtime until the timer went off, Commander Hikari's new project added another 500 parallel experiments, and yesterday I secretly drank a specialty drink from the Xxx galaxy as a wake-up call... You're telling me that place is a high-tech palace?!"
"What will happen if I get caught hacking into the database? Do you think they'll politely offer me a cup of light particle tea and send me back to Earth? Dream on!"
The data stream beside her fluctuated violently, and a terrified emoticon with the signature "[;]" character, reminiscent of a soybean ball, flashed rapidly across Jugglus's screen like a barrage of comments.
Jugglus crossed his arms and watched with great interest Rose's "tearful accusation" bursting forth from her frustration at being "capable but not daring to," the faint smile on his lips becoming more genuine.
"Tsk," he strode closer to the screen, his voice tinged with amusement, "It's rare to see someone so clear-headed."
"So, instead of digging up the treasures right there in the Land of Light, they went through all this trouble to buy information from me, a former Dark Night mercenary? Just to save on a lifetime honorary labor certificate from the Science and Technology Bureau?"
Rose didn't speak, but stared at him coldly, her icy blue eyes conveying the meaning of "What else?"
"Alright, customer first... even if it's a customer who wouldn't dare knock on the gates of the Land of Light."
Jugglus shrugged, his tone becoming more relaxed. "As for Baraba, I happen to know a little bit. After all, he's a signature figure of the Yapool."
"Super Beast Baraba, standard model, has no pain receptors and will not reveal any conventional weaknesses or vulnerabilities when attacked. It is a biological weapon born purely for war."
And then nothing more was said.
"Huh? That's all?" The mechanic raised an eyebrow.
Jugglus shrugged, a helpless smile plastered on his face: "That's antique information from the Showa era. I don't know any other details. Perhaps..."
He glanced meaningfully at Rose's virtual image, "...The ultimate answer you're looking for is hidden in that deeply buried SSS-level encrypted file at the Science and Technology Bureau?"
Rose took a deep breath, the aura of the runes around her brightening even more, clearly suppressing the urge to swear. "Fine, you're ruthless. You even have this much common sense."
She abruptly changed the subject, speaking rapidly, "The armory's special project budget just happens to have a few bottles of rare Baccarat Petrus crystal bottles, or perhaps the Blue Mountain Estate coffee beans that stingy chauffeur gave us last time? Pick one, and it'll be your consultation fee today."
Jugglus's fake smile was instantly replaced by genuine appreciation: "Hmm, a very sensible way to reimburse consumables. I want Patus."
The communication was about to end, and Rose's figure began to blur. Hebikura seemed to suddenly remember something and added, "Oh, right, a friendly reminder... since you're so afraid of the Technology Bureau's black brick kilns,"
A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Then remember to clean up your mess when you're up to something related to the Belial Factor. Just in case your research supplies end up in the hands of the Space Garrison one day..."
Rose's figure vanished instantly, and the communication was cleanly and decisively cut off. Clearly, it was that last precise threat that successfully broke her down.
Jugglus Juggler stared at the dim screen and couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Ha... This guy who avoids even the database of the Land of Light actually dares to research the Belial Factor?"
A deafening, tearing sound suddenly came from the folds of the sky above the city, where the wounds had not yet fully healed!
Space was like a fragile brocade, brutally torn apart by an invisible giant claw, and that familiar, chilling, venomous roar once again pierced the sky!
"Ace!"
The Super Beast Balaba—this terrifying creation formed from the infinite resentment of another dimension—forcefully squeezed out of the spatial rift with its enormous body.
Its golden-orange beastly eyes swept wildly across the ravaged land below, its mouth stubbornly howling the name of its nemesis etched into its soul.
The piercing alarm instantly filled the command center!
On the monitoring screen, the energy reading representing Barabá burst through the red warning line like a flood, and the alarm icon was covered in scarlet.
Thinking about it, it seems the Land of Light was fighting the Golden Man around that time.
Chapter 133 The Nemesis Returns! The Legacy of Light Between Ace and Zeta (1/2)
The piercing sirens still echoed over the city, like a dirge for the approaching Grim Reaper.
The super beast Barabana's eyes, burning with venomous golden light, locked onto Windom below, which had just stabilized its machine.
"Ace!!" A roar filled with boundless hatred exploded once again!
Baraba's massive body unleashed a terrifying speed disproportionate to its size, completely ignoring King Joe's presence on its flank, and charged straight at Undym like an arrow released from a bow!
"Ugh—!" Haruki groaned in the cockpit, his pupils contracting.
The Windom machine launched an emergency jet, narrowly slid away from the massive scythe wrapped in ominous energy that Baraba had swung at it.
Nevertheless, the hurricane and shockwaves still slammed into the armor of the Windom machine, producing a screeching sound that forced it to shake violently and stagger backward.
"Does it mistake me for Aisni-san?!" Haruki's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he struggled to control Windom to create distance.
But Baraba had set its sights on its target, completely disregarding its own weaknesses. It twisted its massive body forcefully, swung its heavy claws, and brought them down with a devastating force!
