Chapter 28: Task Completed

Over the boundless ocean, several giant transport aircraft moved slowly forward. Behind them, thick steel cables trailed, and at the other end of each cable hung an iron giant a hundred meters tall—the Eureka Striker.

Inside the Jaeger's cockpit, two figures were focused on controlling this iron giant.

One of them was a middle-aged man, burly in build, with a stern face and a hint of vicissitude between his brows. He was Herc Hansen, the chief Pilot of this Jaeger named "Eureka Striker."

Beside him was a young man, his son Chuck Hansen, whose eyes were full of excitement at this moment.

"General Stark, Eureka Striker is about to arrive at the Battlefield," Herc said through the Communication Device in a deep voice.

General Stark's slightly hoarse voice came through the radio: "Finish it quickly, and minimize casualties as much as possible."

"Understood." Herc's Tone was calm, but a hint of solemnity showed faintly between his brows.

On the Cockpit beside him, Chuck Hansen wore a smile of indifference on his face.

"Old man, no need to be so nervous." He reached out and tapped the Screen in front of him, which displayed information about the Beast, his Tone full of indifference. "Just a Category IV Kaiju. We can easily break the kill record."

Herc turned to look at him and shook his head helplessly.

At This Moment, a mechanical voice suddenly came from the Communication Device: "Arrived at the edge of the Battlefield, preparing to deploy."

The words had barely fallen when the steel cables around the Jaeger snapped in response. Under Gravity's pull, Eureka Striker plummeted straight toward the Ground, the air around its massive body howling past, letting out a Deafening roar.

Boom! Accompanied by an earth-shaking crash, Eureka Striker landed heavily on the Ground, smashing out a huge pit. The Ground cracked inch by inch under this impact, and countless rocks and clods of earth flew in all directions.

However, when the dust settled, Herc and Chuck did not see the Beast's figure. Everything around was silent, with only the ruins of Buildings scattered on the Ground, and not a single person visible on the empty Street.

"Where's the Beast?" Chuck frowned, his gaze scanning back and forth across the Street, trying to find traces of the Virus.

At This Moment, a huge impact sound suddenly came from afar, so loud it seemed the entire City was trembling.

"Over there!" Herc said in a deep voice, controlling the Jaeger to rush toward the direction of the sound.

When they crossed a row of Buildings on the verge of collapse, the sight before them made both men Stark Wide Eyes, their breathing almost stopping.

They saw the Virus's huge body lying on the Ground, the Buildings around it almost leveled to the ground. At its head Location, a Giant made of black energy was holding a huge golden club, smashing down toward the Virus's Skull.

Each impact was accompanied by an earth-shaking crash, and the Ground trembled with it. The Virus's body twitched incessantly under this storm-like attack, its head already Blood and Flesh, emerald green blood gushing out and pooling into a patch on the Ground.

"What... what is this situation?" Chuck Stark Wide Eyes, opened his Mouth, and took a long while to find his voice. He watched the black Giant in Disbelief Watch, his Brain blank.

Herc similarly stared with his mouth open at the scene before him, the expression on his face Scary solemn.

Boom! Another heavy blow landed, the Beast's Skull sinking in again, emerald green blood spraying out and landing on the black Giant, instantly turning into rising green smoke.

Herc Stark Come To Senses, urgently said into the Communication Device: "This is Eureka Striker, Requesting support! We have discovered an unknown Giant Existence, currently fighting the Beast!"

"Unknown Giant Existence?" General Stark's face sank, his Tone serious.

"Stay alert, do not act rashly, report the situation at any time, and Evacuate immediately if necessary." Before them, the black Giant suddenly stood there, right arm raised high with his weapon, emitting an aura that made one's heart race.

Boom!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Ame-no-Nuboko heavily smashed onto the "Virus"'s head, completely shattering its Skull. Emerald green blood and Brain matter splattered, pooling into a puddle on the Ground.

Susanoo slowly lowered the weapon in his hand, the black figure standing beside the "Virus"'s corpse, like a majestic war god.

It slowly turned its head, those eyes that seemed to Shine with red light staring straight at Eureka Striker.

Under the gaze of those eyes, both Herc and Chuck felt an inexplicable pressure, as if an invisible force was oppressing them.

Chuck felt his Blood instantly Freeze, his heart as if about to jump out of his chest. A bone-deep Fear seized him, making even breathing extremely difficult.

Herc's situation was no better; he Stark Wide Eyes, his Pupils Trembling violently.

At the same time, inside Susanoo, Uchiha Fugaku frowned, his gaze sweeping over Eureka Striker.

"So this is the so-called Hunter Jaeger?" Fugaku thought to himself, "How is it that I've already finished the fight, and now they arrive?"

Just as Fugaku was complaining, the virtual Screen before him suddenly fluctuated, the original content disappearing, replaced by two lines of brand-new text: 【Completed Main Quest One: Repel Kaiju "Virus" (Completed)】

【Obtained Reward: 500 Points】

Immediately below, another line of small text appeared

【Side Quest: Independently Kill "Virus" (Completed)】

【Obtained Reward: 1500 Points】

"Side Quest?" Uchiha Fugaku saw the suddenly appearing Task, his expression somewhat confused. However, when his gaze fell on the four words "Independently Kill," a hint of astonishment flashed across his stern face.

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head to look at the Virus's corpse on the Ground, then raised his eyes to look at the awe-inspiring Eureka Striker before him, a faint gloom coloring his brows.

"So, my original Task was supposed to be to intercept the Kaiju, then wait for the Hunter Jaeger to fight together..."

As Clan Leader of the Uchiha clan, he had always been strict with himself, never easily neglecting any detail in a Task. However, having fallen into another world and facing never-before-seen monsters, even he couldn't help but be somewhat flustered.

"Forget it." Fugaku sighed, raising a hand to rub his tightly furrowed Eyebrow Center, "It's come to this; thinking more is useless."

The words had barely fallen when Fugaku suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his eyes. He Subconsciously raised a hand to press his eyes, strands of bright red seeping through his fingers.

During the life-and-death fight with the monster just now, he had exerted all his strength to activate the Sharingan; now the aftereffects hit, and he could no longer maintain the Mangekyou Sharingan.
