Fang Xinhan saw the message from Wei Kexin and was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized what was happening.
It was probably a player or a group of Players who failed a mission, and as a result, the boss creature was released into reality.
Fang Xinhan looked at Linhai City and the fleet heading towards it, then stretched his limbs.
“A boss creature, huh? It must give a lot of energy when defeated.”
As he spoke, Fang Xinhan's eyes lit up, but he couldn't determine how strong this boss was yet, so he needed to observe it first.
Xin Bu Re: I won't go. I've sent a message to my friend; he'll be there shortly.
Fang Xinhan drank an invisibility potion and used the Gale Ring to fly towards Linhai City.
In the sea area near Linhai City, the fleet was already in position. People from the Management Bureau used a special tool to cover the moving fleet with a projection. The real fleet entered a barrier, while the projection moved in another direction to attract the attention of ordinary people.
People in the coastal areas were also evacuated, under the guise of a safety drill.
Fang Xinhan landed on a ship at this moment, hiding himself first. After entering the barrier, Fang Xinhan finally saw the full appearance of this boss.
Its huge tentacles slapped the sea, creating incredibly massive waves. Its enormous body was like a towering skyscraper, and black mist continuously spewed from its mouth.
It was a terrifying scene, as if a demon god had descended upon the world.
Countless Players and ordinary agents using heavy firepower were all unleashing their strongest attacks, trying to inflict as much damage as possible.
But...
Kraken: 6500 / 7000
“This scene reminds me of the last episode of Diga Ultraman.”
Fang Xinhan quickly saw his Older Sister.
At this moment, Fang Nuannuan was like a seasoned general; her long spear was swift and fierce, capable of even knocking away several tentacles in a row.
The Kraken clearly noticed this unusual little 'bug' and directly raised a huge wave. Fang Nuannuan was quick and dodged it with a jump.
The wave then rushed towards the fleet, but it crashed into a transparent blue barrier and instantly rebounded.
“Report to command, the energy barrier is still in the experimental stage and can probably withstand three to four more impacts before running out of energy.”
The middle-aged man in a military uniform had a grave expression in his eyes.
“How much longer can the energy barrier hold?”
“At the current rate of consumption, probably half an hour at most.”
“Then proceed with direct saturation bombardment. We cannot let this guy get close to Linhai City.”
Then, planes took off, and missiles were launched. This fleet began saturation bombardment without any warning.
The Kraken evidently discovered these little contraptions that appeared, and directly swept a tentacle towards a light-blue energy barrier, only to have it bounce back.
The Kraken, refusing to believe it, struck again, and the energy barrier's glow began to weaken.
Fang Xinhan was above them at this time. After hearing their conversation, Fang Xinhan immediately opened his MC panel and exchanged his remaining energy for a Pedron head and some bond fragments.
Fang Xinhan placed the Plasma Advancement Platform in an unnoticed corner. After putting in the materials, a yellow-grade Evolution Truster appeared.
To create the yellow-grade Evolution Truster, Fang Xinhan's energy had already dropped to double digits.
Wei Kexin received a message after destroying a tentacle that was about to ambush a helicopter.
Xin Bu Re: My friend has arrived. You should see him in a bit. Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be busy.
Wei Kexin looked at Fang Xinhan's message with a bewildered expression, like Louis XVI grasping at air—completely clueless.
A flash of light passed, and the tentacles of the Kraken, which were holding several agents, were severed by something. The captured agents and the upper half of the tentacles vanished.
Then, a silver giant floated on the sea, wearing a helmet with a 'Y' shaped timer on its chest, and two arm-blade-like weapons on its arms.
In the giant's hand was Li Gang, who had just broken free from the tentacles' entanglement. He hadn't yet recovered from what had happened, then he looked up and met the giant's glowing eyes.
Silver Giant: (●—●)
Li Gang: d(ŐдŐ๑)
At this moment, Li Gang's heart was pounding rapidly. He actually saw Nexus Ultraman! No! He should be a player, right? No, that's not right either! There don't seem to be any items in the dungeon game that allow one to transform into an Ultraman, and even if there were, they would be weakened versions, not this large.
Nexus placed Li Gang on a battleship, nodded at Li Gang, then took a combat stance and fired a Particle Feather at one of the Kraken's tentacles. That tentacle was disintegrated into molecules, then Nexus charged forward.
At this moment, a blush appeared on Li Gang's face.
Li Gang: Nexus just nodded at me. Does that mean he acknowledges me? Am I the next suitable one? ε٩(๑＞₃＜)۶з
Everyone also witnessed that scene just now. Their faces first showed disbelief, then an uncontrollable smile.
Agent A: Oh my god! I saw Ultraman!
Agent B: I haven't watched Ultraman. Can anyone tell me which Ultraman this is?
Agent C: Nexus Ultraman. He transmits light and grows stronger, eventually evolving into Noah. We can slack off now.
Agent A: Slack off my ass! I'm going to fight bravely and make Nexus notice me. I might be the next suitable one!
Agent C: You're right! Someone over there is tied up! Wait for me to help you!
Seeing Nexus and the Kraken fighting, everyone's morale soared, but now they could only provide remote support.
Meanwhile, Wei Kexin was completely stunned.
Wei Kexin: No, buddy. Your friend is Ultraman? You're not from the M78 Nebula too, are you?
(Wei Kexin hadn't watched Ultraman; she had only heard others say that the M78 Nebula was the Ultraman's home, so she assumed all Ultraman came from there.) (๑＞＜๑）
Fang Nuannuan looked at Nexus, who was currently fighting, and felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
The Kraken was repeatedly beaten back by Nexus and was forced to spew black mist, hoping to affect Nexus.
However, the agents who had just fought the Kraken noticed that the man in the Zhongshan suit immediately stirred up a strong wind to disperse the black mist the moment it appeared.
The Kraken, of course, knew someone would come to stop it. As the man in the Zhongshan suit was forming hand seals, a tentacle struck towards him.
“Oh no.”
Even Wei Kexin, the sniper, didn't react in time. She quickly fired, hitting the tentacle, but it continued to lash towards the man in the Zhongshan suit.
Just as the man in the Zhongshan suit thought he was done for, Nexus, with a Mach move, rescued him and placed him near Fang Nuannuan.
Then, Nexus placed his left hand on his chest, and a flash of light passed. Nexus transformed from his Junis form to his Junis Red form.
Nexus used his Nexus Armament to fire a beam of light into the sky. The beam then scattered in the air, forming a huge cover that covered the barrier.
“It's the Meta Field!” Li Gang recognized the light that enveloped the barrier, which Nexus had emitted, at a glance.
Then the battlefield shifted from the sea to within the Meta Field.
Of course, only the Players who were close enough entered. As for the fleet? Sorry, there's no water here; we can't let them run aground, can we?
(P.S.: Any suggestions for the next dungeon? Preferably one with lots of monsters, as I'm making the God Steel Blade.)
