Chapter 585 - 583: The God Who Came to Save Mankind?

Actually.

With Fenric’s flying speed, he could have caught up with the Leatherback long ago.

The reason it had been delayed until now was entirely deliberate.

Because Fenric knew that the Leatherback had a powerful partner: a Category Four kaiju called Otachi, also known as the Tailed Rat.

These two kaijus usually acted together.

One appeared openly while the other remained hidden.

The Leatherback relied on its strong defense and power to launch frontal attacks and attract the enemy’s attention.

Meanwhile, the Tailed Rat used its agility to cooperate with the Leatherback and launch sneak attacks from behind.

These two kaijus worked together perfectly.

Their coordination could be described as seamless.

In the original storyline, many human Jaeger pilots died tragically under the claws of these two kaijus.

Even the protagonist suffered heavy losses when facing them.

If not for the protagonist’s plot armor, he would have died.

Fenric knew the plot very well.

His plan was to deliberately drive the Leatherback into the sea, use it as bait to lure out the Tailed Rat, and then kill both kaijus.

In Fenric’s later plan, he intended to enter the Kaiju nest and destroy the kaijus there.

And the extremely fast Tailed Rat might interfere with his plan.

Therefore, Fenric intended to eliminate the Tailed Rat first.

Besides the Tailed Rat, there was also a Category Five kaiju guarding the entrance to the Kaiju nest.

That kaiju was also one of Fenric’s must-kill targets.

Now that its escape route had been blocked by the tiny human, the Leatherback became extremely angry.

"ROAR!"

It roared furiously at Fenric.

The roar was deafening and echoed across the distant ocean.

It sounded like a threat directed at Fenric.

But Fenric knew very well that the Leatherback was actually calling for the Tailed Rat hidden in the depths of the sea.

Never underestimate the intelligence of these kaijus.

In Pacific Rim, these creatures possessed surprisingly high intelligence.

Some of them were even more cunning than humans.

After letting out a long roar, the Leatherback launched an attack on Fenric.

It suddenly lunged forward toward Fenric while opening its enormous mouth, attempting to bite him.

From its posture, it looked eager to swallow Fenric in a single bite.

Unfortunately—

Compared to Fenric, its speed was simply too slow.

When the Leatherback lunged toward him, Fenric had already easily dodged and landed on top of the kaiju’s head.

"!!!"

The Leatherback was furious.

It shook its head violently, trying to throw Fenric off.

However, that damned human clung to its body like glue and refused to fall off.

Seeing this, the Leatherback raised its only remaining left claw and slammed it down toward its own head.

"BOOM!"

Naturally—

The Leatherback struck nothing.

Instead, it ended up hitting itself and nearly knocking itself dizzy.

"ROAR—!"

The Leatherback became even more enraged.

It roared at Fenric again and swung another claw toward him.

The air tore apart with a sharp sound.

The Leatherback’s enormous claw descended toward Fenric with overwhelming force.

Fenric remained suspended in midair, showing no intention of dodging.

"You really don’t learn your lesson," Fenric said calmly. "In that case, you might as well lose that dog paw too."

As his voice fell—

Fenric raised his fist.

A white shockwave aura instantly wrapped around it, making the fist appear much larger.

Then—

Fenric threw a punch.

"CRACK!"

The same scene that had occurred earlier on the shoreline repeated itself.

Under the devastating destructive power of the Tremor Fruit, the Leatherback’s only remaining claw exploded instantly.

The limb was torn apart, and countless chunks of flesh splashed into the sea.

The scene looked extremely tragic.

Green blood quickly spread across the ocean surface.

"ROOOAR!!!"

The Leatherback screamed again.

Its enormous and miserable roar echoed across the sea and even reached the distant human military base.

At this point—

This unfortunate Leatherback had lost both of its arms.

Under the stimulation of intense pain, the kaiju went completely mad.

Ignoring everything, it rushed toward Fenric, opening its giant mouth and biting at him in a desperate attack.

Fenric had no interest in fighting it directly.

He simply dodged left and right, refusing to give the Leatherback any opportunity.

Anyone could see that Fenric was merely playing with the kaiju.

Otherwise, with Fenric’s destructive power, he could have shattered the kaiju’s skull with a single punch.

...

Human military base.

Inside the spacious command center.

Countless high-ranking officers, along with the Black general, stared at the screen in stunned silence.

That human was simply too powerful!

The kaiju that had previously fought evenly against the Eureka Raider had been killed instantly with a single punch to the forehead.

And the terrifying Category Four kaiju—which could easily destroy Jaeger mechas—was now being toyed with like a plaything.

A kaiju that humanity regarded as a catastrophic threat was being casually suppressed by one person.

Such power was beyond belief!

Even after witnessing the battle with their own eyes, the officers still felt that the scene before them was unreal.

If not for the destroyed harbor and the ruined city streets outside, they might have believed they were dreaming.

After a long silence, a senior officer looked at the surveillance screen and sighed.

"Incredible... Could he be the god sent by heaven to save us?"

When the other officers heard this, they began expressing their thoughts.

"Such power... only a god could possess it."

"No matter who he is, at least our crisis is temporarily resolved."

"That’s right. That Category Four kaiju has lost both arms. Even if it attacks again, our Jaeger units should be able to deal with it."

"Gentlemen, don’t celebrate too early," an adjutant reminded them. "We should think about what attitude we should adopt toward this... god."

Everyone frowned upon hearing this.

Yes.

Humanity had already been oppressed by kaijus for many years.

The world was already on the brink of collapse.

And the sudden appearance of such a powerful individual might not necessarily be good news.

What if this person did not belong to humanity’s side?

The room fell into silence.

No one spoke.

Finally, the Black general broke the silence.

"I believe the high-ranking officials in parliament will worry about that issue more than we do."

"We are soldiers. We should focus on our own responsibilities."

"However..."

The general looked back at the screen.

"Don’t you notice something strange?"

"This man seems to be playing with the Category Four kaiju."

"With his power, killing it would not be difficult at all. Why hasn’t he done it yet?"

Hearing the general’s words, everyone suddenly realized something.

They stared at the screen again and soon discovered that the unbelievably powerful human had indeed been teasing the kaiju.

He only dodged and avoided attacks, never launching a finishing blow.

What exactly was going on?

"Perhaps... he has his own reasons?" one officer said hesitantly.

At that moment—

The radar detection system suddenly sounded a shrill alarm!
