The moment the transformation was complete, her figure vanished from the spot.
Only a ring of spreading dust remained in place.
The astonishing speed generated a deafening sonic boom, and the sound of the air being torn apart made everyone present feel a sharp pain in their eardrums.
When she reappeared, she had already appeared before the second Moon Goddess like a ghost.
"too fast!"
Alarm bells rang in the mind of the second-generation Moon Goddess; it was a biological, instinctive fear.
She hurriedly brandished her long whip, trying to create a defensive barrier in front of her.
But it was too late.
Yua Yaiba's attacks are fighting techniques created purely for combat.
There are no unnecessary movements.
Every strike was precise and deadly.
With an incredible sidestep, she easily dodged the whip's strike.
An elbow strike imbued with terrifying force slammed into the abdomen of the second-generation Moon Goddess.
"Uh!"
The intense pain caused the second-generation Moon Goddess to instantly hunch over, resembling a boiled shrimp.
She almost dropped the memory chip in her hand.
Before she could catch her breath, Yua's combo attacks came down like a storm.
Fist, foot, knee, elbow.
Every part of her body had become a deadly weapon.
Every strike landed precisely on the joints and vital points of the second-generation Moon Goddess.
The crisp sound of bones cracking, mixed with the muffled thud of metal colliding, rang out continuously.
The second-generation Moon Goddess was completely overwhelmed, her body twisting and turning in mid-air, yet she was unable to escape the whirlwind-like onslaught.
In the end, Yua kicked her opponent, sending him flying into the air.
At the same time, she pressed the kill button on the driver.
Assault Charge!
Blue energy surged wildly into her right leg.
The energy was like a pack of hungry wolves, emitting a low growl.
She leaped high into the air, drawing a dazzling blue arc of light as she unleashed a swift and unparalleled knight's kick.
"boom--!"
With a deafening, violent explosion, the second-generation Luna's body was struck precisely by the Knight's Kick.
Her desperate screams were completely swallowed by the sound of the explosion.
Together with the Moon Goddess Memory in her hand, they transformed into dazzling fireworks in the air before vanishing into nothingness.
From transformation to instant kill, the entire process takes no more than thirty seconds.
This decisive and powerful demeanor left everyone present, including Shotaro, speechless.
The noisy battlefield seemed to be silenced at this moment.
They then realized that this seemingly valiant female captain who had always been by Su Chen's side actually possessed such terrifying strength.
Chapter 83: Re-entering the Wind Tower, a Declaration of Destruction, a Bet Among the Strong
With the second-generation Moon Goddess being swiftly defeated by Yua Yaiba, the surrounding NEVER forces were quickly wiped out.
"Leave this to us, you guys go and rescue Philip!"
Yua's voice was decisive and crisp. She gave brief instructions to Su Chen and Shotaro, then turned around, her silver combat suit drawing a cold arc in the night, and immediately threw herself into the work of commanding the AIMS forces and building a blockade line.
Su Chen nodded slightly, his dark eyes remaining completely calm.
Without wasting a second, he and the tense-looking Shotaro beside him transformed into two swift shadows and rushed towards the entrance of Fuuto Tower.
The Wind Tower, once a symbolic landmark that carried the city's glory and dreams, now resembles a black sword piercing the night sky, surrounded by a visible aura of death and misfortune.
The air was filled with a strange smell, a mixture of rust and ozone, which was nauseating.
The two rushed into the tower, where the frigid air instantly enveloped them.
The sight before him made Shotaro gasp, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
The hall, spacious enough to host a grand banquet, had now become a parade ground for the dead.
The NEV-ER troops stood densely packed together, dressed in pure white combat uniforms.
They stood silently like lifeless sculptures, each with empty and numb eyes, like puppets whose souls had been taken away, their pupils devoid of any light. Their sole purpose was to carry out the orders given by their sovereign—the Great Dao of Self-Discipline.
"so much……"
Shotaro's voice was a little dry; he felt as if his throat had been sanded.
This is no longer a small squad, but an army.
However, not a trace of fear appeared on Su Chen's face.
His gaze calmly swept over the white "forest" before him.
"Just a bunch of empty shells without souls."
He calmly commented, his voice not loud, yet like a cold knife, cutting through the deathly silence of the hall.
Before he finished speaking, he walked straight ahead, his steps steady and unhurried.
"stop!"
The NEVER soldiers at the front row raised their weapons in unison, the dark muzzles instantly locking onto Su Chen's body. Their mechanical movements were perfectly synchronized, exuding an inhuman eeriness.
Su Chen's steps did not falter at all.
He didn't even glance at the soldiers who already had their fingers on the trigger.
Just as those soldiers were about to pull the trigger, in that fraction of a second...
A black afterimage flashed past them at a speed that completely exceeded the limits of human vision.
Shotaro's eyes caught only a barely perceptible tremor, as if it were his own illusion.
"Puff puff!"
A series of dull, short sounds, like heavy objects piercing a hard shell, rang out in succession.
All the NEVER soldiers in the first row had their core energy devices, which served as their power source, precisely pierced and destroyed by some invisible force at the exact same moment.
Tiny sparks of electricity exploded on their chests and then went out.
Before they could even utter a scream, their bodies collapsed limply to the ground, completely losing their ability to move, turning back into a pile of cold parts and synthetic muscles.
It's Su Chen.
Shotaro's pupils suddenly contracted; he could finally see clearly.
Su Chen had appeared behind the first row of soldiers without anyone noticing, still walking forward as if the killing that had just taken place had nothing to do with him.
He displayed such terrifying speed and destructive power simply by virtue of his human flesh and blood.
That wasn't a battle, that was cleanup.
"Follow."
Su Chen turned around and said something to Shotaro, who was still standing there in a daze.
His tone was calm and even, yet it carried an undeniable sense of command.
Shotaro snapped out of his daze, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and quickly followed.
What followed was a predictable "cleaning up".
Whether it's an elite squad lying in ambush at the corner of the stairs, attempting to launch a surprise attack.
They still held the advantageous high ground, locking onto their snipers with their cold, hard scopes.
These NEVER troops, who are fearless in the eyes of ordinary people, are as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't even make a second move.
He simply maintained that heart-pounding, steady pace, continuing upwards.
Any enemy who dares to stand in his way will be completely paralyzed by his simplest, most direct, and most effective method, with his core destroyed in one strike.
With a single chop, the air was sliced open, and the cores of the three soldiers shattered instantly.
A single side kick generated enough wind pressure to knock an entire squad of enemies off balance, causing them to overload their cores.
Shotaro followed closely behind Su Chen, watching his leisurely figure from behind, his heart filled with indescribable shock.
He knew Su Chen was strong, but he never imagined he could be this strong.
In front of Su Chen, these NEVER soldiers, who even the well-equipped AIMS troops found troublesome, seemed to be nothing more than a bunch of obstructive wooden stakes, unable to even slow him down.
The two of them made their way smoothly and soon arrived at the top floor of the Wind Tower—the observation deck.
Pushing open the heavy fire door, the spacious observation deck offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights twinkle like a galaxy fallen to earth.
Inside the window, however, was a completely different scene.
What should have been a romantic café has been transformed into a simple throne, constructed from scrap metal and broken furniture, exuding a postmodern style.
Da Dao Keji sat lazily on it, resting his chin on one hand, a playful smile on his face, like a king who had been waiting for a long time, quietly enjoying their arrival.
Beside the throne, in an energy cage composed of countless streams of green data, Philip was helplessly imprisoned.
Upon seeing Shotaro and Su Chen, his pale face immediately showed an expression of extreme anxiety.
"Shotaro! Su Chen! You shouldn't have come! This is a trap!"
