The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2301 Strengthening
Anyone who frequently fires artillery knows that a cannon is just an iron pipe with little killing power; what really causes deaths are the shells fired from it.

The destructive power of artillery shells comes from two sources: metal fragments and metal fragments. After the explosive charge inside the shell is detonated, it is blown into fragments, and the kinetic energy brought by the extremely high speed causes huge damage to the surrounding targets.
Secondly, there's the shock wave. When an explosive is detonated, it changes from a solid to a gas in a very short time, releasing a large amount of energy. The rapid expansion of its volume causes the internal temperature to rise to thousands of degrees and the pressure to reach hundreds of thousands of atmospheres, compressing the surrounding air and forming a ring-shaped shock wave that spreads out at a speed of thousands of meters per second.

While shrapnel can be highly lethal, its quantity is limited, and its density decreases as you move outwards, resulting in weaker damage. Furthermore, it can be blocked by cover, further reducing its effectiveness.
But shock waves are different. Like throwing a stone into water, the ripples are seamless. So as long as you are within the killing range of a shock wave, no one can escape unscathed. Even if you hide behind a bunker, you will be affected by the dynamic pressure energy transmitted from it, causing hearing damage, internal organ contusions, and so on.

In the era of energy weapons, solid shrapnel is no longer used; only energy remains, namely high temperature, high pressure, and high radiation. This causes the target to heat up rapidly and vaporize, and the resulting expansion generates enormous recoil pressure, which propagates into the target in the form of stress waves, causing mechanical damage such as fractures and delamination.

In addition, depending on the materials and the amount of energy, plasma may sometimes be generated, forming an additional shock wave in addition to the stress wave, thus causing further damage to the target.

The new Max cannon relies on high temperature, high pressure, and high energy to cause enormous damage to the target.

The meta-synthetic beast TR Jomos has a deep understanding of this; just one shot and one second later, its entire body was covered in charred black, like a forest after a wildfire, with charcoal everywhere.

The chest area that was hit showed signs of melting, like a candle that had been lit and cooled, with the wax piling up into irregular clumps, and the original sharp edges were gone, with many spikes and protrusions being flattened or even dented.

Even more serious was that sparks were coming out of its entire body, hissing and bursting out in clusters, just like the fireworks tubes lit during the Chinese New Year.

No matter how you look at it, it has suffered a severe blow.

"Oh hoo!"

Shinjou looked at the images transmitted by the optical observation system and shouted excitedly. Although it did not blow the enemy to smithereens as expected, it still caused huge damage. The enemy looked like it was about to collapse, and it felt like it would fall completely if pushed one more time.

Therefore, Shinjo immediately said, "Lucia, give it another round."

Although it seems that the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos is in extremely bad shape and should have no chance of fighting back, there is always a chance. Years of fighting experience have taught Shinjo that as long as the enemy is not destroyed, there is a possibility of rising again. Therefore, Shinjo must continue his efforts and blow up the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos in one go to prevent any further accidents.

"understand!"

As Lucia spoke, she had already aimed at the target with her secondary cannon. All she had to do was wait for the new Max power system to charge the high-capacity energy storage device before she could unleash another bombardment on the super-cosmic synthetic beast TR Jomos.

Compared to the two of them, Kibi was even more amazed by the defensive strength of the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos. It was hit by a new Max Cannon and was not vaporized at all. Its hardness was simply outrageous.

However, compared to Kibi Gosuke's amazement as he observed with binoculars, Chiba Makoto was clearly observing more carefully, saying, "It's not just about physical strength; this guy has also deployed a subspace barrier, which is why he's hovering there without moving."

"Subspace Barrier!"

This term is not unfamiliar to Hibiki Gonnosuke. Ever since the first Scria chimera appeared on Mars, the subspace barrier has come into the TPC's view, and in battles with Scria chimeras time and time again, they have witnessed its sturdiness.

Before today, the subspace barrier maintained an undefeated record and had never been broken. But now, the myth of invincibility has been shattered.

The new Max Cannon shattered the subspace barrier with a single shot before hitting the Xenoverse Synthetic TR Jomos behind it. If it weren't for the weakening effect of the subspace barrier, the Xenoverse Synthetic TR Jomos would probably have been blown to smithereens and burned to ashes long ago.

This also shows that the subspace barrier is not an invincible technique; it just wasn't powerful enough before. Now, with the new Max Cannon, it was shattered in one go, and there was still enough power to inflict massive damage on the super-cosmic synthetic beast TR Jomos.

Judging from the current situation, all we need to do is give the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos a few more hits, and we can destroy it. Even if we don't blow it to pieces, we can at least render it incapable of fighting, or even completely paralyze it.

It seems I don't need to make an appearance myself.

Chiba Makoto released the Spark Lens, took his right hand out of his clothes, looked down at Dai Boligu, and was filled with emotion.

Finally, humanity has the ability to protect itself and no longer needs Ultraman's help in everything.

Zoffy once said: One day, humanity will travel alongside Ultraman, traversing the stars together. Until then, Ultraman will be Earth's shield.

Today, TPC is moving from 'before' to 'traversing the stars side by side'.

This means that humanity has begun to rely on its own strength to hold up the shield protecting the Earth, and Ultraman's role is beginning to decline. Perhaps, like the Land of Light, Ultraman should slowly fade from GUYS's view.

Before he could even process what he was feeling, Chiba Makoto, who was staring at the Yaborigu on the ground, suddenly looked up at the sky. Seeing this, Kibi Gosuke quickly followed suit and looked up at the sky. Only then did he realize that the severely damaged Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos was still floating in the air, and rows of emerald green orbs of light were falling from the sky and crashing into Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos at an extremely fast speed.

"So many Sphia elite troops?!"

Hibiko exclaimed in surprise as a series of emerald green orbs flew out of the Specia Barrier one after another, rushing to the front of the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos. They then immediately went from hard to soft, like expanding foam, quickly filling the dents and patching the gaps, before connecting with the surrounding tissue and even smoothing it out, making it indistinguishable from its surroundings.

In the blink of an eye, the super-cosmic synthetic beast TR Jomos, which was just covered in wounds, was completely restored by a large number of Sphia soldiers and became exactly the same as when it first appeared.

No, there are still differences.

The biggest difference is that the repaired super-cosmic chimera TR Jomos now has several luminous bodies on its legs and arms, each several sizes smaller than the one on its chest, embedded in rough silver-gray scales. These fish-scale-like silver-gray scales are also much tighter than before, and the gaps between the scales are gone, so the LED-like light bands that used to 'flow' between the gaps can no longer be seen.

Although the gaps and those sprawling horns and spikes made the super-universe synthetic beast TR Jomos appear somewhat smooth, its body had swelled by more than one size due to the influx of a large number of Sphia soldiers, making it appear even more ferocious.

"Oops--"

Shinjou, who was still in the midst of excitement, froze on his face. The huge weight in his heart didn't just disappear; it felt like a lump in his throat. His shot hadn't killed the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos; instead, it had made it even stronger. This…
To make matters worse, the previous all-out bombardment had depleted their energy reserves, making it difficult to launch a second attack. They even lacked sufficient power to fly, so they couldn't reach the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos in the air. No matter how strong their punches and kicks were, they couldn't hit the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos from a distance.

This is terrible.

But worse was yet to come. After a large number of Spyia soldiers poured in, the newly repaired super-cosmic chimera TR Jomos lowered its head and looked down with its glowing eyes.

Although it was nearly 10,000 meters away, it immediately locked onto Daiboligu, who was as small as an ant in the midst of towering mountains, and then raised its arms.

Stab it!

Stab it!

Intense electric currents surged through the body of the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos, colliding and sparking fierce electric sparks. In the blink of an eye, the entire body of the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos was covered in undulating electric sparks, almost engulfing it.

This situation, no matter how you look at it, is clearly a major attack, making Xincheng extremely anxious. He wanted to stop it, but Daibo Rigu didn't have the energy to counterattack, so he could only run away.

Although the Xenomorphic Synthetic TR Jomos has not yet launched an attack, at present, the only thing that can pose a threat to it is probably the Xenomorphic Synthetic TR Jomos. All the other deployed particle cannons and laser cannons combined are less than one percent of the power of the new Max cannon. Therefore, anyone with an IQ greater than 20 knows to eliminate the most threatening threat, the Deborah Rig, first.

"Lucia, it's time to move."

Shinjo quickly said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Deviator is still near the base. If the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos really attacks the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos, not only will Deviator be damaged, but it will also affect the headquarters."

Therefore, no matter what, you should stay away from headquarters to avoid implicating them.

"understand!"

As he spoke, Xincheng had already manipulated Daibo Rigu, following the mountain's contours, and was running away from the headquarters.

But after running only a couple of steps, the Xenomorph TR Jomos in mid-air suddenly swung its arms downwards, and the lightning crackling across its body instantly transformed into streaks of electric snakes.
They shot diagonally downwards like electric snakes, jostling and pushing forward, ionizing the air in a large area along their path, producing crackling and popping sounds and emitting a burnt smell, creating a cylindrical channel filled with electrons and ions that led straight to Deborah Rig.

They're really coming for us!!!

Although it was expected, seeing the Xenoverse Synthetic Beast TR Jomos swing its arm down and point at Daiborigu still made Shinjo grit his teeth. It was really taking advantage of his vulnerability. If he had the guts, he should wait until he was fully charged before attacking.

However, the Xenomorphic Synthetic Beast TR Jomos is unethical, and Shinjo can't stand on moral high ground to condemn it. He can only rack his brains to come up with a solution.

What can we do?

The virtual dashboard clearly showed that the energy reserves of the Daiborigu were still almost depleted. After all, in just three or four seconds, even with the powerful performance of the new Max power system, it wouldn't be able to charge much energy. And with that little energy, it wouldn't even be enough for the secondary guns, let alone the new Max cannon.

I can only run away.

"Damn it, just you wait."

Xincheng uttered harsh words in his heart, but could only control Daibo Rigu to run as far as possible, in order not to endanger the headquarters base.

But how could two legs outrun lightning? After running only a hundred meters, bolts of lightning from the super-cosmic chimera TR Jomos struck above Daiborigu.

It wasn't that every single lightning bolt hit Daiborigu with pinpoint accuracy, but rather that it was a wide-area bombardment. Clearly, the Xenomorph Transformer TR Jomos was well-equipped and was playing the game of firepower coverage. No matter how you ran or tried to escape, you couldn't leave this area and would get hit.

"It's over!"

Xincheng sighed inwardly, but he didn't let go and wait for the electric shock. He continued to run. Dai Boligu's predicament was unsolvable, but the headquarters might be less affected.

The next instant, a deluge of lightning descended from the sky—

Bang!Bang!Bang!
In an instant, it was like a thousand bolts of lightning, striking the ground and exploding into pillars of flame, stirring up billowing dust that mingled and surged upwards.

From above, countless flame mushrooms sprang up from the ground at an extremely fast speed, forming a dense forest of flame mushrooms with fire as pillars and smoke as lids.

But among these 'mushrooms', one stood out, rising more than a hundred meters higher than the other areas, and it only produced explosive flashes of electricity and flames, without any dust kicked up by the shattering of soil and rocks.

From his vantage point atop the mountain, Kibi Gosuke could see clearly that as a dense barrage of lightning descended from the sky, a blue bolt of lightning shot up above Daiborigu at an even faster speed. Then, it shone brightly, spreading out in a flash to block the falling lightning between Daiborigu and a large area of ​​thunder.

This made Daibo Rigu seem as if it were under an umbrella, with not a single drop of water falling on it, as it was all blocked by the light.

And the only ones who can do this, and will do it, are—

"Diga!"

Kibi Gosuke was talking, Shinjo was shouting, they were all prepared to be struck by lightning, electrocuted, or even worse, but while explosions were happening all around, only Daibo Rigu was 'peaceful and quiet', which was naturally because someone was sheltering him from the wind and rain. Sure enough, when they looked up, they saw dazzling light blooming.
