Chapter 582 580: The Stubborn Samsara Squad

"BOOM!"

There was a loud noise.

The kaiju was knocked to the ground by the Eureka Raider.

This kaiju was too heavy and rigid, and it was no match for the Eureka Raider at all.

Obviously, the kaiju realized this as well. With a howl, it actually began fleeing toward the sea.

The pilot of the Eureka Raider naturally refused to let such an opportunity slip away and immediately chased after it, intending to hunt the kaiju down completely.

Far away.

On the rooftop.

Fenric couldn't help but sigh.

At first, the battle between the two giants was somewhat interesting, but after watching for a while, Fenric began to feel bored.

It was nothing more than two massive creatures competing in speed and strength.

One punched, the other blocked—there was no real technique involved!

"The show is about over. Time to act."

Seeing that the kaiju was about to escape, Fenric stood up, planning to go harvest the kaiju's head.

At that moment—

The Eureka Raider had already chased into the sea, the water rising to its waist.

Even though the kaiju was heavy, it escaped quite quickly.

Fenric, who was about to leave, suddenly changed expression.

"Huh? Another big one coming from the sea? An ambush?"

His perception was extremely sharp. He could clearly sense that another enormous presence had appeared beneath the ocean.

"It seems the Mecha Hunter is about to be unlucky."

Fenric sat down again, suddenly interested.

The pilots of the Eureka Raider—a father and son—were completely focused on hunting the kaiju.

At that moment, an order from the base came through the communicator.

"Chuck, Stacker, you are too deep in the ocean. Your mobility will be restricted in the water. Abort the pursuit immediately and return!"

However, the father and son pretended not to hear it.

The kaiju was already prey within reach. How could they willingly let it escape?

Suddenly—

A piercing alarm sounded.

Then an anxious voice came through the communicator.

"Chuck, be careful! A new kaiju is approaching you from the ten o'clock direction! Prepare immediately!"

Only then did Chuck and Stacker realize the danger they were in.

The seawater had already reached the chest of their mech.

The next moment—

"ROAR!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a gigantic kaiju burst out of the sea and charged straight toward the Eureka Raider.

This kaiju resembled a gorilla magnified countless times.

It stood nearly a hundred meters tall, its body covered with thick keratin armor. Its fists were like massive war hammers.

Seeing this kaiju, Fenric felt a sense of familiarity.

Soon, he remembered what it was.

The Leatherback Kaiju!

In the original storyline, the Leatherback was extremely powerful and had an impressive battle record.

It possessed the strongest defensive capability among all Kaiju, capable of withstanding massive impacts without damage, compensating for its lack of speed.

In addition, the Leatherback was highly intelligent.

Whenever it was injured, it would immediately retreat. Together with its partner kaiju, Otachi, they developed tactical cooperation—one attacking head-on while the other ambushed from behind.

Most importantly—

It possessed a weapon that was extremely lethal to human mechs: an organic electromagnetic pulse.

This ability allowed it to release electromagnetic waves that disabled the electronic systems of human mechas.

Using this ability, the Leatherback had destroyed many Jaeger units!

"So it's this one."

Fenric was secretly surprised.

The appearance of the Leatherback meant the storyline had already progressed to the middle or late stage.

"That Mecha Hunter is definitely doomed."

At the command base.

"Oh my God! It's a Category Four Kaiju!!!"

A shrill alarm rang out.

The military had already classified the giant kaijus.

Generally speaking, the higher the category, the more terrifying the kaiju's combat capability.

For example, a Category Three kaiju could easily cause massive destruction in human cities—even nuclear weapons struggled to eliminate them.

And a Category Four kaiju had never appeared before!

The general observing the battle grabbed the communicator and shouted loudly.

"Chuck! Stacker! That is a Category Four Kaiju! Retreat immediately!"

…

In the ocean.

Hearing the general's voice through the communicator, the father and son exchanged bitter smiles.

"General... we don't have time to retreat. If we turn around now, we'll die even faster."

"There is only one path left before us now—fight!"

After saying this, the father and son assumed a combat stance through the neural-linked Jaeger.

The shoulders of their mech opened, revealing hidden missile launchers.

Just as Chuck and Stacker were about to fire artillery at the kaiju—

Suddenly—

The massive kaiju opened the armored plates on its head, revealing a glowing organ.

Then—

"BOOM!"

An electromagnetic pulse erupted and spread outward rapidly, sweeping across the entire coastline.

Under the impact of the EMP, the Eureka Raider instantly lost power.

All the lights on its body went dark.

Its raised arms dropped helplessly.

It stood motionless in the sea like a machine that had lost its energy source.

And in front of it—

The gigantic kaiju was already charging forward.

The mech had been completely crippled by the electromagnetic pulse attack.

Was there anything more unfair than this?

"NO!!!"

The father and son screamed together.

Then—

The Eureka Raider they piloted was overturned instantly and torn apart by the Leatherback Kaiju!

The two pilots died tragically.

After destroying the Eureka Raider, the Category Four kaiju showed no intention of stopping.

It rushed directly toward the shore.

Its target—

The military base ahead.

The previously injured kaiju also reemerged from the sea and charged toward the human base alongside the Leatherback.

The momentum of the two kaijus was unstoppable.

Along the way, everything in their path was crushed.

Human buildings before the Leatherback looked as fragile as paper.

Even reinforced concrete skyscrapers were smashed into rubble under its charge.

Category Four kaijus were far beyond the level of Category Three kaijus.

Their strength, speed, defense, and destructive power were terrifying.

Many pedestrians on the streets had no time to escape.

When they saw the human mecha defeated and the kaijus charging in, they screamed and fled in terror.

But no matter how fast humans ran—

They could not outrun the Leatherback.

Soon—

The fleeing crowd was caught.

Each swing of the Leatherback's massive arms caused horrific slaughter.

The streets instantly turned into a hellish scene.

At the rear command base, seeing the destructive power of the Leatherback, many soldiers turned pale with horror.

Yet despite the chaos—

The discipline of the soldiers remained strong.

Inside the enormous control room, the only person who remained truly calm was the general.

At this moment.

The Black general was staring at the large screen.

On the screen, the Leatherback kaiju smashed through a refuge with a single punch. Thousands of citizens hiding inside were killed instantly.

"Where are our pilots?!" the general shouted angrily.

A subordinate hurriedly replied, "Storm Crimson and Cherno Alpha have just completed neural synchronization. They are ready!"

"Then what are you waiting for?!" the general roared. "Send them out immediately and destroy the enemy!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate left quickly to relay the order.

Suddenly, someone beside the general exclaimed.

"General, look over there! What is that?"

Through the remote monitor, a figure appeared on the big screen.

The strange thing was that the person was floating in mid-air without any visible flying equipment.

A human flying by himself?

But—

How could a human fly?

On the chaotic streets.

Everyone was desperately fleeing.

However, there was a group of people who seemed completely out of place.

There were six of them in total. Looking at the giant kaiju wreaking havoc not far away, their expressions were calm and fearless.

To remain so composed at a time like this—

Either they were extremely powerful.

Or they had some powerful means to protect themselves.

"According to the plot, the indigenous mech pilots of this world will suffer heavy losses under the destruction caused by this kaiju. At that time, it will be our opportunity."

Among the six, a burly man began issuing orders.

"Robert, hacking the military network is your responsibility. We need a legitimate identity."

"No problem," a thin white man replied.

This thin man specialized in computer technology and was an extremely skilled hacker. Even artificial intelligence systems were no match for him.

Because he had spent Samsara Points to enhance his hacking abilities.

That's right—

This group of people were all Samsara players participants!

However, they were not Samsaras from Zone C, but from other regions. By coincidence, they had also entered the Pacific Rim world.

"Boss, what if we encounter a 'competitor'?" a white girl asked.

The competitors she mentioned were naturally other Samsara players.

Hearing this, the burly leader answered without hesitation.

"As long as they interfere with our plan, kill them!"

He had the confidence to say that.

Because his overall strength had already reached A-rank.

At the nineteenth floor of the Samsara Tower, an A-rank Samsara was absolutely top-tier combat power.

The white girl smiled.

"Wow. I hope we don't run into some unlucky guy."

At that moment.

A Black man beside them suddenly said in surprise, "Guys, look over there!"

Everyone followed his gaze.

They saw a person flying through the air without relying on any external equipment, heading straight toward the giant kaiju.

Judging by his direction, it looked like he intended to stop the kaiju.

The white girl was stunned.

"Are there humans in this world who can fly?"

"Of course not," a short man replied coldly. "That guy must be a Samsara."

"Damn. A flying Samsara... his strength must be pretty strong, right?"

"Whether he's strong or not, we'll find out soon enough."

The expressions of the Samsara team turned serious.

Even within Samsara Tower, the ability to fly was extremely rare.

Almost all such abilities belonged to powerful Samsaras.

"Boss! What if that guy kills the kaiju?" the white girl asked worriedly.

Hearing this, the leader's face darkened immediately.

If that happened, their plan might collapse before it even began.

"How could it be that easy?" the leader said coldly. "That's a Category Four kaiju—the Leatherback. According to all known data, its defense is terrifying. Even an experienced A-rank Samsara would struggle to break through its thick hide."

"That's right. And this dungeon forbids the use of special items. That guy is too arrogant. He actually thinks he can kill a Category Four kaiju by himself? He's courting death!"

"If that's the case, we can just sit back and enjoy the show."

The others chimed in one after another, seemingly trying to reassure themselves.

The human flying through the air was naturally Fenric.

Seeing the Leatherback wreaking havoc while the military mechs had yet to appear, Fenric decided not to keep a low profile any longer.

Fenric's ultimate plan was to destroy the kaijus' nest.

And that required heavy explosives.

Large-scale destructive weapons were controlled by the government and military.

So he had to act personally and kill these two kaijus first.

And he would do it in full view of everyone!

"After this battle, humans in this world will probably treat me like a god," Fenric thought.

"Then if I request something—like a nuclear bomb—they should agree, right?"

While thinking this, Fenric approached the two kaijus.

As Fenric drew closer, the Leatherback, which had been demolishing buildings, finally noticed him.

"ROAR!"

It let out an angry roar toward Fenric and swung a massive claw at him.

In the Leatherback's eyes, a tiny human could be crushed effortlessly.

"Whoosh!"

A violent tearing sound filled the air.

The Leatherback's enormous claw descended like a dark cloud blotting out the sky.

Against such a strike, even Jaeger mechas would struggle to withstand it—let alone an unarmed human.

At that moment.

Everyone watching the scene began sweating for Fenric.

Just as the Leatherback's claw was about to smash into him—

Fenric finally moved.

He didn't even attempt to dodge.

Instead, he clenched his fist and assumed an attacking stance.

A white aura quickly formed around his fist.

Then—

Fenric threw a punch!

And his target—

Was the gigantic claw of the Leatherback!
