Chapter 47: Mission Complete (Begging for Follows!!!)
The massive body of the Poison Queen slammed repeatedly into Storm Crimson, each collision producing the ear-piercing screech of shattering metal.
Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth; he shoved the control lever hard, and Storm Crimson's metal arm plunged straight into the gaping wound on the Poison Queen's chest.
"Screech—"
The sharp metal edge tore through flesh, emitting a teeth-grating grinding sound. Emerald-green blood instantly gushed forth like a spring, dyeing Storm Crimson's arm a bizarre color.
"Roar!!!"
The Poison Queen let out a miserable scream, its tail thrashing wildly; sharp bone spikes slammed heavily onto the mecha's back, punching deep holes one after another. It struggled violently, trying to break free from Storm Crimson's grip.
But Fugaku had no intention of letting go; instead he maneuvered Storm Crimson to drive its arm deeper into the wound, clamping tightly onto the monster's innards.
Emerald-green blood kept surging from the wounds on its body, staining the surrounding seawater an eerie green.
"Ten seconds left!" Fugaku's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging.
Storm Crimson's thrusters roared, pale blue flames gushing out.
Under the tremendous thrust, the mecha dragged the Poison Queen, rushing toward the center of the wormhole at maximum speed.
As Storm Crimson moved at high speed, the seawater formed a gigantic vortex, as if the seawater were about to be scorched dry by this frenzied velocity.
"Get in there!!!"
Fugaku roared, exerting every ounce of strength, pushing the control lever to maximum power.
Boom! With a deafening crash, Storm Crimson, carrying the Poison Queen, plunged headlong into the center of the wormhole.
In an instant, Fugaku felt an enormous pressure assault him, as if his whole body would be flattened.
A sharp, piercing buzzing rang in his ears, vibrating his eardrums painfully. Waves of strange stinging sensations came from his skin, as if countless tiny electric currents were racing chaotically inside his body.
The surrounding space began to twist and deform; colorful halos flew past his field of vision at such speed that Fugaku's eyes could barely catch them.
The mecha trembled violently, metal emitting a teeth-grating creak. Fugaku saw countless fragmentary spatial debris hurtling backward at high speed, finally converging into a tiny point of light that vanished at the end of the wormhole.
"5, 4, 3..." The countdown numbers kept ticking, about to hit zero.
Fugaku gritted his teeth and slammed the ejection button.
"Bang!"
The escape pod ejected in response, its transparent hatch automatically sealing shut.
The next second, a deafening explosion erupted inside the wormhole.
Immediately after, a blinding white light flooded Fugaku's entire vision, as if tens of millions of suns had detonated simultaneously before his eyes, swallowing everything.
Even through the thick pod hull, he could feel that world-destroying energy, like tens of millions of shells roaring at once.
A massive shockwave swept in instantly; Fugaku felt the world spin, his five viscera and six bowels seemingly twisted together violently.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
【Mission complete. Return immediately?】
"Return!"
Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth, pouring all his strength into shouting those two words.
The next second, Fugaku felt his vision go black, his consciousness instantly slipping away.
After an unknown time, a cold electronic voice suddenly sounded beside Fugaku's ear.
【Treatment successful. 1000 Exchange Points deducted.】
Fugaku's consciousness snapped awake. He slowly opened his eyes; what met his gaze was a pitch-black void.
He discovered he was in a vast black space, empty all around, with only a gigantic light sphere suspended in the center, emitting a soft glow. "This is..." Fugaku murmured, his voice echoing in the void, sounding somewhat unreal.
Just then, Fugaku suddenly froze. He subconsciously blinked, feeling the familiar sensation from his eyes.
"My right eye... has recovered?"
While Fugaku was immersed in the joy and puzzlement of regaining his sight, a mechanical voice abruptly rang out in the void: 【Welcome to the Main God Space. Newbie mission completed. You have become a formal Reincarnator. You will traverse the myriad worlds, executing the Main God's tasks. You can obtain everything you desire.】
"So this is the Main God Space?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at the light sphere before him and said in disbelief.
As his words fell, a stream of information suddenly flooded into his mind.
Countless data flashed rapidly through Fugaku's consciousness; he swiftly grasped the various functions of this Main God Space.
The next second, a virtual screen appeared before his eyes.
【World: Pacific Rim】
【Type: Sci-Fi】
【Level: Level Five】
【Mission Evaluation: A】
Main Mission Completed: 【Intercept Category 4 Kaiju "Virus"】: 500 points; 【Protect Mecha】: 1500 points; 【Destroy the Wormhole】: 2000 points
Side Mission Completed: 【Kill Category 4 Kaiju Virus】: 1500 points; 【Kill Category 4 Kaiju Octopus】: 1000 points; 【Kill Category 5 Kaiju Poison Queen】: 2500 points; 【Become National Idol】……
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the virtual screen before him; he quickly calculated, and after deducting the cost of treating the Sharingan, he still had 21000 Exchange Points left.
As the Main God said, these Exchange Points are the currency of the Main God Space; the most important thing right now is how to use the points in hand to strengthen himself.
The perilous experiences he had just gone through in the 【Pacific Rim】 world flashed through his mind, and Fugaku couldn't help but frown.
Merely a newbie mission had already been this difficult. And according to the Main God's introduction, he would thereafter step into more unknown worlds. The danger levels of those worlds would likely far exceed the present.
Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand and lightly swiped through the void; a huge translucent screen instantly appeared before him.
That was the Main God Space's Exchange Mall; Fugaku's gaze lingered on the screen, reflecting all manner of items.
【M4A1 Carbine: 50 points】
【Barrett M82 Sniper Rifle: 100 points】
【RPG-7 Rocket Launcher: 150 points】
Fugaku frowned slightly; although these weapons performed excellently, for him they offered almost no improvement.
Exchanging it back for the clan's Genin to use, however, could greatly boost the clan's combat power; if the points are sufficient, exchanging some would also be a good choice.
Thinking up to here, Fugaku extended a finger and lightly swiped across the translucent screen. The page responded instantly, displaying row after row of brand-new items, their prices soaring rapidly as well.
Fugaku's gaze swept over the exchange options one by one, when suddenly, his line of sight halted on a familiar name.
【Item: Storm Crimson (Modified Version)】
【Origin: Pacific Rim】
【Rank: Four-Star】
【Introduction: A giant war weapon crafted by Pacific Rim Humans, equipped with the Thundercloud Array System and Electronic Cannon, sufficient to instantly elevate an ordinary person to Fourth Rank Combat Power.
Drawback: The Jaeger's excessively massive body brings powerful damage and ultimate defense, yet its agility is far lower than those of the same rank.】
【Exchange Points: 35000 Points】
