Chapter 44: Desperate Survival (Seeking Continued Reading)

Uchiha Fugaku steadily piloted Storm Crimson, the metal arm raising once more, the Electronic Cannon fully charged, its muzzle aimed directly at the center of the Wormhole ahead.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot from his right eye. Fugaku felt as if his eyeball had been pierced by a red-hot branding iron, the pain forcing a sharp intake of breath.

He gripped the Control Lever tight, knuckles white from excessive force. Beads of sweat the size of beans seeped onto his forehead, sliding down his cheeks to drip onto the Cockpit floor.

Fugaku endured the pain and opened his right eye again, only to find his vision blurred, as if veiled by a layer of Blood Mist, unable to make out the scene before him no matter what.

"Damn it, has the Sharingan's burden reached its limit? And at a time like this..." Fugaku gritted his teeth, thinking to himself.

But now there was no room for hesitation; the energy in the Electronic Cannon had already gathered to its peak, the barrel flashing with dazzling blue light, humming, poised to fire.

Suddenly, a massive claw shot out from the Wormhole with lightning speed, clamping down hard on Storm Crimson's Electronic Cannon from behind! "Boom—!"

The deafening roar of shattering metal instantly erupted on the seabed. The sharp talons effortlessly pierced the heavy armor.

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes nearly split with rage as he watched Storm Crimson's Electronic Cannon turn to dust in an instant under the claw.

Shattered metal fragments scattered in all directions, electric sparks flashing among severed cables, illuminating the dim Sea Water around them.

Immediately after, the Beast's massive bulk lunged at Storm Crimson once more,

accompanied by a thunderous crash as its huge claw slammed hard into Storm Crimson's Susanoo, the entire Jaeger trembling violently under the savage force.

Its sharp talons frantically tore at the Jaeger's armor, leaving shocking cracks across the surface.

Fugaku gripped the Control Lever tight, gritted his teeth, eyes bloodshot. Black chakra burst from the Susanoo armor enveloping Storm Crimson, struggling desperately to fend off the Beast's frenzied assault.

"Rumble—!"

Every impact from the colossus carried devastating power.

"Creak creak!" The bone armor on the Susanoo's surface emitted a teeth-grinding screech, countless cracks spreading like a Spider Web.

Fugaku felt an unprecedented pressure transmit through the Control Lever, as if his five viscera and six bowels would be crushed.

He bit down hard on his teeth, hands clutching the Control Lever, straining to maintain the Susanoo's form.

Meanwhile, the blade in Storm Crimson's hand did not cease its attack.

The sharp blade cut Body Flicker trails through the Sea Water, slashing deep into the Beast's hard Exoskeleton.

"Schlick!"

The fierce blade edge swept across the Beast's body, blood spraying, Flesh flying.

For a time the two Colossi wrestled, Storm Crimson's blade continuously carving the Beast's body while the Beast wildly slammed into Storm Crimson.

The Sea Water boiled in the fierce battle, steam spreading everywhere.

General Stark's anxious voice suddenly came over the Communication Device: "The second Kaiju is coming!"

The words barely fell when a dazzling blue light flared at the Wormhole's center, and immediately a massive figure slowly rose from the center of the Wormhole.

It was a Kaiju shaped like a raptor, the spike on its forehead incomparably sharp, emitting a terrifying cold gleam.

"Not good!"

Fugaku's Pupil contracted sharply; he tried to maneuver Storm Crimson to dodge, but found the Jaeger locked tight in the Beast's grip, utterly unable to move.

He saw that Kaiju become a sharp spear, carrying irresistible momentum, charging at Storm Crimson.

Watching the sharp Bone Spike about to pierce Storm Crimson's Cockpit, Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth, face deathly pale.

In that hair's breadth between life and death, time seemed to Freeze. Fugaku could clearly see every ferocious pattern on the Bone Spike, hear the shrill whistle of the spike tearing through the water.

In this instant, a crazy thought flashed through Uchiha Fugaku's mind.

He took a Deep Breath, violently wrenching free of the pilot arms on both sides. The Jaeger instantly lost balance without its pilot.

The instant the Kaiju was about to crash into Storm Crimson, Uchiha Fugaku rapidly formed Hand Seals: Rabbit, Boar, Goat!

Boom! A deafening explosion suddenly erupted.

The Kaiju's massive bulk, like a sharp spear carrying the weight of a thousand jun, slammed hard into Storm Crimson's chest.

In an instant, the Susanoo armor around Storm Crimson gave a crisp "Crack!" — pierced through in a flash by that tremendous impact force.

Uchiha Fugaku felt a heart-piercing pain in his chest; looking down, he saw a ghastly Bone Spike had already pierced his body.

"Pfft!"

Blood instantly sprayed out, staining the Cockpit Glass an eerie red.

At the same time, in the Base Command Room, everyone Stark Wide Eyes, staring dumbly at the miserable scene before them, unable to speak for a long moment.

"It's over." Doctor Herman murmured: "Everything is finished."

General Stark's Expression was grave; he slowly lowered the Communication Device in his hand. After a long while he spoke with difficulty: "Notify everyone, Evacuate immediately."

At this moment, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded on the Radar.

"Beep beep beep"

Doctor Herman jerked his head up, eyes wide, staring at the Radar screen, unable to believe his own eyes.

"Th-this how is it possible?!" His voice trembled, filled with Disbelief.

General Stark also raised his head at this moment, gaze locked tight on the screen before him, face full of disbelief.

On the screen, the already disintegrated Storm Crimson had suddenly appeared behind the Raptor!

And the Bone Spike that had just been firmly embedded in Fugaku's body had vanished without a trace at this moment.

The entire Cockpit was intact, as if everything before had been merely an illusion.

While everyone was still in Shock, the Storm Crimson on the screen suddenly moved.

Uchiha Fugaku sat in the Cockpit, hands gripping the Control Lever, his Pupil power bursting with dazzling light as his Spiritual Power increased. He quickly calculated the time, "About one minute left, enough."

Izanagi, the Uchiha Clan's ultimate Forbidden Jutsu, activated at the cost of one Sharingan, can within a limited time transform all reality unfavorable to the caster into illusion.

"If the Main God is truly that omnipotent, then restoring my eyes should be possible, right!"

He let out a Low Roar; in an instant, a vast surge of chakra Burst Out from the Jaeger's surface, forming a towering Skeleton Avatar that wrapped Storm Crimson tightly within.

"Ame-no-Nuboko!"

Immediately after, a massive golden prismatic pillar manifested on Storm Crimson's right hand — none other than Susanoo's Ame-no-Nuboko! Accompanied by a thunderous boom, Storm Crimson's rear Thrusters erupted, pale blue flames gushing out with a roar. The next moment, the Jaeger shot forward like an arrow from a bow, charging at the defenseless Raptor.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the Ame-no-Nuboko slammed heavily onto the spikes. In an instant, the spikes snapped, and dark green blood gushed from the wound.

The Mizuchi let out a piercing Scream, its voice penetrating the Deep Sea and echoing underwater. Its massive body twisted violently, stirring up powerful water currents and whirlpools.
