Chapter 36: Task: Protect Hunter Mecha

Before the words could finish, the giant worm suddenly launched an attack, its massive body instantly charging toward where the Jaegers were parked.

At this moment Heka looked at the giant worm charging straight at them, his pupils contracting sharply, and he shouted hoarsely at the pilots ahead: "Not good! Everyone get out of the way!"

Boom! With a tremendous crash, the passage connecting various parts of the base snapped apart. Concrete fragments and steel reinforcement debris fell like raindrops, smashing the ground into pits and craters.

Just as the passage collapsed, a shrill scream pierced the air.

Several Jaeger pilots happened to be at the break point, falling along with their cockpits, and slammed heavily onto the ground.

At this moment a giant rock fell, smashing toward Heka and Chuck's location.

"Get out!" Heka shoved Chuck beside him aside, and he himself nimbly rolled, barely dodging the giant worm's attack.

Not far away, General Stark slammed a fist hard onto the tabletop, his eyes full of anger: "Damn it!"

The next second, Stark took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the panic in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Non-combat personnel evacuate immediately! All combat personnel prepare for battle!"

At this moment, Heka hurried to Chuck's side, patted his shoulder, and shouted loudly: "Follow me!"

However, Chuck was trembling all over at this moment, his legs seeming unsteady. He stared fixedly at the giant worm before him, his face as white as paper.

Having lost the protection of the Jaeger, facing this colossus, the fear in his heart seemed to have reached its peak.

"Slap!" Seeing Chuck's fear, Heka without hesitation slapped him across the face, and sternly scolded: "Don't stand there like an idiot! You're a Mecha Hunter, a warrior! You have to do something!"

This slap finally seemed to bring Chuck back to his senses.

Chuck shook his head violently, took a deep breath, looked around at the ruined base, his eyes gradually becoming determined, while a surge of anger rose from his heart. He was the top pilot of the base, the ace in everyone's eyes, but now monsters were attacking the base, and he was trembling like a coward.

"We'll go through the maintenance passage." Chuck looked around, his gaze falling on an entrance not far away, which led to the Mecha Repair Area. "That's the only place we can get to the Jaegers!"

The words had just fallen when all the weapon systems in the base opened fire almost simultaneously. Dense artillery poured down on the giant worm like a rainstorm, the explosions deafening.

However, when the smoke dispersed, the giant worm had not suffered a single injury. Those shells couldn't even leave a scratch on its hard shell.

Boom!

Then, the next moment, the giant worm's massive body slammed heavily into the docked Cherno Alpha, instantly piercing through the Jaeger's body.

Cherno Alpha's armor shattered instantly under the giant worm's impact, emitting a deafening sound of metal fracturing.

The giant worm did not stop its attack. It quickly turned its body, coiling around Dangerous Wanderer like a giant python.

Creak creak! The sharp sawteeth on its head spun wildly, cutting into the Jaeger's armor, emitting a piercing screeching sound. Dangerous Wanderer's shell was constantly being cut and torn, metal fragments flying everywhere, sparks splashing.

At this moment Uchiha Fugaku stood on the broken passage, his gaze solemn as he watched the rampaging giant worm before him. Its massive body charged back and forth among the Jaegers, leaving wreckage everywhere it passed.

"This Kaiju's power and defense far exceed those of the previous viruses," Fugaku thought to himself. "Worthy of being a Level Four Limit monster. Defeating it won't be that easy."

Just then, the voice of the Main God sounded again in Uchiha Fugaku's mind.

【Main Mission Two: Protect Hunter Mecha】

【Mission Objective: At least ensure one Hunter Mecha survives】

【Mission Reward: 1500】 "As expected," Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely determined.

Just then, the giant worm moved again, its massive body charging straight toward Eureka Striker.

Its huge mouthpart opened, with densely packed sharp teeth spinning wildly inside, clearly intending to tear the Jaeger into pieces.

"Bastard!" General Stark clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from excessive force. He gritted his teeth, his face terribly gloomy.

He knew that if they didn't come up with a countermeasure soon, the base would probably not escape the fate of being leveled.

Just as Stark was at a loss, a black shadow suddenly flashed in his peripheral vision. He subconsciously looked up, only to see a figure had somehow already rushed to the edge of the broken passage.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly leaped down from the broken passage. That person had no hesitation at all, his whole body shooting toward the giant worm like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

"Uchiha Fugaku?!" Stark widened his eyes.

Only to see Fugaku adjusting his posture in midair, his eyes firm and sharp, staring fixedly at the giant worm.

"Now!"

Fugaku growled lowly, his eyes instantly turning blood-red. Three patterns resembling magatama spun rapidly in his eyes, gradually converging into the shape of a pinwheel.

A burst of black chakra erupted from him, the air seeming to freeze at this moment.

Soon a black giant appeared out of thin air beside Fugaku. It wore a black cloak, revealing only its upper body, standing tens of meters tall, emitting a suffocating oppressive feeling.

The next second, the giant extended its right hand, and a golden pillar appeared out of thin air in its palm.

"Go!"

Fugaku growled lowly, channeling chakra, controlling Susanoo to swing the Ame-no-Nuboko in its hand, fiercely striking toward the giant worm's head.

Clang! The weapon slammed heavily onto the giant worm's hard shell, emitting a deafening crash. The worm's body paused slightly under this blow, actually being knocked off course by this strike.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at this scene, shocked speechless. Stark widened his eyes even more, looking at Uchiha Fugaku in disbelief.

And at this moment Fugaku, his eyes blood-red, his gaze like lightning, tightly staring at the giant worm before him, all the muscles in his body tense from extreme concentration.

Just then, the giant worm seemed to recover from the initial impact. It let out a thunderous roar, its massive body charging toward Fugaku again, its speed not reduced at all, its momentum fierce.

Stark snapped back to his senses and shouted: "Everyone, coordinate with Uchiha Fugaku! Aim for the giant worm's eyes and open fire!"

Before the words could finish, the sound of artillery fire in the base rang out again. Dense shells whistled out, brushing past Susanoo's body, heading toward the giant worm's eyes.

Firelight exploded on the giant worm's body, billowing thick smoke rising.

The giant worm let out a scream, but its body did not stop at all as it slammed toward Fugaku.

It opened its bloody mouth, inside densely packed sawteeth spinning wildly, emitting a hair-raising sound.

Each of those sawteeth was several meters long, extremely sharp, even the hardest metal could be easily cut open.
