Chapter 828: It Is in Rage!

The wound heals.

Ice‑blue bodily fluid circulates.

The transparent membranes on its surface that were ruptured regenerate after swallowing the fragments, covering the entire previous injury from end to end.

Its blue patterns have become brighter than before, at least twice as luminous, and the whole body has swelled slightly in volume.

Heimu watches the energy readings of the giant beast on the panel.

That strike just now depleted about thirty percent of its energy reserve; now that thirty percent has fully recovered, even a little extra.

It devours environmental material to replenish itself.

This trait is a bit troublesome.

But only a little.

She extends a finger and replans the tactics on the panel.

Under her control, the Creation Engine slowly lifts its right arm, the armor flips again at the wrist, and this transformation is more thorough than before.

The rotating muzzle retracts, replaced by a set of six linked launch tubes, each loaded with a purple‑black micro‑torpedo.

These torpedoes are not conventional weapons; their warheads contain energy compressed to the limit, each with an energy density comparable to the cannon shot that pierced the Light Pillar earlier.

Six torpedoes fire simultaneously from the tubes, tracing six purple arcs underwater.

The giant beast twists its head to dodge, but Heimu's attack is not aimed at the beast itself.

Each torpedo locks onto the base of a white structure in one of six directions around it.

Six explosions detonate simultaneously.

The shockwaves shatter those massive buildings that pierced the surroundings at their foundations; white debris falls into the deep sea floor, stirring up vast clouds of white silt.

Within seconds she clears a kilometer‑wide open zone from the seabed structures, leaving no debris to consume, no buildings for cover, only a bottomless abyssal cliff.

The giant beast hovers over the open sea, the horizontal fissure reopens, its rows of blue luminous tissue shining dazzlingly.

It is in Rage!

But Heimu notes that after the recent healing cycle its energy density no longer rises, instead it begins to decline slowly.

The devouring effect wanes, or perhaps is time‑limited.

The Creation Engine, under her adjustment, assumes a combat stance again, its arm armor flips, switching from muzzle mode back to battle mode.

Fingers extend anew from within the armor; each finger is a complete mechanical structure, its joints embedded with purple‑black energy Nodes.

The leg Thrusters ignite simultaneously, propelling the whole body downward.

The giant beast meets it.

Both collide violently above the seabed cliff!

The Creation Engine's two hands clamp the giant beast's head, its Tail wraps around the Creation Engine's waist, the arms grapple the kilometer‑long torso, and the clash of forces erupts concentric shockwaves underwater.

The purple‑black patterns and ice‑blue light patterns intertwine at close range, tinting the surrounding seawater into a hazy sea of intertwined purple and blue light.

Heimu arches slightly, her fingers flutter over the panel.

A steel Mecha knees the giant beast's abdomen; the massive recoil briefly separates the two titans, and at that instant the beast's Tail tip sweeps across, entangling the Creation Engine's ankle and flipping it violently.

The Mecha collapses underwater, its back slamming into the seabed silt; before it can rise, the ice‑blue massive mouth opens to its fullest arc, dense blue luminous tissue lights up in concentric rings, and a Light Pillar sweeps low along the sea floor.

No dodge.

Heimu flicks a finger; the Mecha crosses its arms in front, its shoulder plates flip open to reveal hidden extra Thrusters inside. Opposing thrusts force it to slide sideways along the seabed for hundreds of meters before the Light Pillar hits; the Light Pillar scrapes its waist armor, scorching the edges red, yet the structure remains intact.

Using the sliding inertia, it flips up; its right fist finishes charging the moment it rises, the purple‑black patterns on the knuckle blazing at maximum, dark violet energy coalescing into a thick energy sheath enveloping the entire fist, like a miniature star ready to explode.

The fist strikes, smashing hard onto the giant beast's side where an old wound has not fully healed.

Bang!

The impact creates a deep dent, blue fluid spouting from its edges; the beast winces, its body arching into a grotesquely twisted curve, its Tail whipping wildly, one strike catching the Mecha's shoulder and cracking half of its shoulder plate.

Ah—

The Mecha staggers backward; the giant beast seizes the chance to widen the gap, opening its mouth to begin absorbing scattered seabed debris.

Crack expands!

The crack on the Mecha's shoulder plate spreads from the edge toward the center; the inner armor's purple‑black patterns flicker intermittently before stabilizing.

Meanwhile, after the giant beast swallows the fragments, the fist imprint on its abdomen slowly heals; the ice‑blue fluid retracts, and the dent visibly refills.

Heimu watches the status comparison on the panel and exhales.

If we keep fighting like this, it will never end.

She needs to change the environment.

She lifts her hand and inputs a command on the panel.

All Thrusters of the Creation Engine ignite simultaneously, no longer grappling the giant beast but thrusting straight upward.

The purple‑black patterns draw an extremely thick, bright Light Pillar along its ascent, the Thrusters' high‑temperature exhaust vaporizing seawater and forming a long string of rolling white steam columns.

The giant beast pursues tightly from behind.

It apparently thinks the Creation Engine is retreating, chasing ferociously; each Tail swing churns the sea wildly, its speed several orders faster than before.

The Creation Engine bursts straight out of the seabed!

The towering steel body, hundreds of meters tall, drags countless swirling bubbles and scorching steam, leaving an extremely long purple tail trail in the air.

Heimu cranks the Thrusters' output to maximum; the purple‑black patterns illuminate the entire steel Mecha, and the whole Mecha hovers briefly in the air.

It then rapidly reshapes, not to attack but to become sufficiently agile!

The arm armor flips outward, revealing a lighter internal skeletal framework; the leg Thrusters split into four independent modules, each hanging at a cardinal point; the chest armor slides backward, pulling the center of mass inward; the waist armor releases all excess plates, which spin once in the air and neatly attach to its back, forming a pair of massive steel wings!

The giant beast rockets out from beneath the sea surface, its ice‑blue body flinging its elongated Tail in the air, fragments still lingering in its mouth.

Heimu gently exhales on the control panel, her fingers returning to it.

She catches a corner of the small screen in the panel with a glance; Ge Lei Xiu steadies both hands, sword raised before her, a blue beam cutting a steady, crisp line through the mist, while the nearby cherry Foot‑long dagger flashes pink in the air.

Heimu withdrew his gaze to the main panel, watching the vast, borderless white sea ahead and the ice‑blue giant beast that burst up from beneath the water.

The sea surface, under the pressure of the two sides' standoff, slowly pushed outward to both sides, white mist and spray intertwining, the violet‑black and ice‑blue cold lights flickering in and out of the fog.

She snapped her fingers.

The Mecha and the beast moved simultaneously!
