Chapter 216: The Violent Aesthetics of Mecha

On the sea surface, giant waves surged.

Four heavy armed helicopters carried Gipsy Danger, flying over the coastal waters.

As the cables unhooked simultaneously, the 86-meter-tall steel giant body lost its support and smashed heavily toward the sea surface like a meteorite!

“Boom—!!!”

A ten-thousand-ton wave soared into the sky!

Centered on the point of impact, a violent shockwave spread wildly in all directions, kicking up a tsunami dozens of meters high!

Amidst the giant waves, Gipsy Danger stood steadily.

Seawater poured down from the steel giant body like a waterfall.

Inside the cockpit, Lilith closed her eyes.

Thermal imaging activated.

Spirit power fully unleashed.

In that instant, with her as the center, the sea area within dozens of kilometers was clearly reflected in her mind.

Water temperature, ocean currents, schools of fish, reefs—

And that massive creature rapidly approaching underwater.

Lilith opened her eyes, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

Found it.

Without waiting for instructions from above, she stepped forward.

Under her control, the 86-meter steel giant body erupted with an inconceivable Speed!

Waves exploded beneath her feet; with every step she took, a massive whirlpool was left on the sea surface!

This was not the normal Speed of a mecha.

This was overload operation!

It was Lilith using her terrifying body to forcibly drive the mecha beyond its design limits!

That Level Four Kaiju—Otachi—was rushing madly from the bottom of the water.

It clearly treated the mecha before it as ordinary prey, preparing to end the battle with its usual sneak attack tactics.

However, just as it rushed beneath Gipsy Danger’s feet and was about to launch an attack—

A massive steel hand suddenly reached into the seabed!

“Boom!!!”

The seawater exploded!

Before Otachi could react, its neck was gripped tightly by that giant hand!

Immediately after, an irresistible force surged; its massive body, dozens of meters long, was actually hauled up from the seabed by force!

Otachi struggled in terror, its tail thrashing wildly and its sharp claws waving haphazardly, trying to tear apart the mecha in front of it.

But Lilith didn’t give it a chance at all.

Left hand clenched into a fist.

Charging power.

Punch.

“Thud—!!!”

The first punch slammed into Otachi’s abdomen!

The force of the punch bypassed skin, fat, and muscle, striking the internal organs directly!

Otachi let out a shrill scream, blue blood spraying from its mouth!

“Thud—!!!”

Second punch!

Same position, even deeper!

Otachi’s scream turned into a wail, its eyes beginning to roll back!

“Thud—!!!”

Third punch!

Supersonic heavy punches, three in a row!

This was already the limit for Gipsy Danger. If she continued, the mecha’s fist would be completely wrecked.

But it was enough.

Otachi’s body went limp and hung down.

Its internal organs had been completely pounded into a pulp under those three punches.

Lilith tossed the corpse into the sea with a casual flick.

The entire process took less than ten seconds.

Behind her, inside the cockpits of the two Reserve Mechas, two experienced Mecha Pilots were frozen in place like statues.

What did they just see?

A Level Four Kaiju was killed barehanded within ten seconds by a Little Girl driving a mecha for the first time?

Moreover, the Speed of those three punches, that powerful force, and that precision—that was simply not an operation a human should be capable of!

Inside the Central Control Room, there was dead silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the screen, their minds completely empty.

Then—

“Roar—!!!”

A technician suddenly stood up and let out a wild roar!

Immediately after, the entire Central Control Room exploded!

“Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!!!”

“Ten seconds! It only took ten seconds!”

“That’s a Level Four Kaiju! Not some small fry!”

“How did she do it?! At that Speed, the mecha shouldn’t have been able to withstand it!”

“It couldn’t withstand it, but she still fought! And she won!”

Sterk stood before the main control console, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his knuckles turning white.

On his perpetually serious face, a hint of wild joy actually emerged.

This was the first time in human history that a Kaiju had been slaughtered so easily.

No prolonged struggle, no bitter battle, no sacrifice.

Only crushing.

A complete and utter crushing.

And that pilot was just a Little Girl who had been in contact with mechas for less than half a day.

If she could continue fighting like this…

Humanity really has hope.

On the battlefield, the fight was far from over.

After Lilith dropped Otachi’s corpse, her gaze turned toward the ocean.

In the thermal sensors, two more massive life signals were rapidly approaching.

She grinned, her smile full of excitement.

Simultaneously, an even more massive Kaiju leaped suddenly from the water!

Its goal was clear—to launch a fatal sneak attack from below while Gipsy Danger was still finding its footing!

However—

Lilith had already noticed.

She was faster than her opponent, controlling the mecha to leap high into the air!

The 86-meter steel giant body soared into the sky, tracing a massive arc over the sea!

Then—

The clenched iron fist, carrying a terrifying sound of breaking wind, smashed down fiercely!

“Boom—!!!”

The Kaiju that had just leaped out of the water didn’t even have time to react before it was smashed back into the seabed by this single punch!

The massive impact exploded on the seabed, kicking up waves dozens of meters high!

At the same time, another Kaiju attacked from the side!

Lilith didn’t even turn her head.

Her perception had already locked onto the opponent.

She leaned sideways, dodging that fatal claw.

As the Kaiju’s claws sliced through the air, she grabbed back—firmly gripping the opponent’s tail!

Then—

She turned around abruptly!

Her arms exerted force!

That dozens-of-meters-long giant beast was used by her like a Meteor Hammer, smashed fiercely toward the first Kaiju that had just recovered from the seabed!

“Bang—!!!”

The two giant beasts collided violently! The sound of bones shattering could be clearly heard even through the seawater!

Lilith’s other arm was raised.

The Plasma Cannon had finished charging.

“Boom!”

One shot!

A direct hit on the Kaiju that had just recovered from the collision!

“Boom!”

Second shot!

A finishing blow!

“Boom!”

Third shot!

Completely terminated!

Blue blood spread across the sea surface, staining a large area of the ocean blue.

Lilith released her grip, letting the corpse of the long-dead Kaiju sink to the bottom of the sea.

She turned around and looked at the last Kaiju—Leatherback.

It was standing not far away, actually taking a small step back.

Beneath that heavy armored plating, in those blue eyes, fear appeared for the first time.

Yes, fear.

A Level Four Kaiju actually felt fear when facing a mecha piloted by a human.

Lilith tilted her head, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth.

She stepped forward, walking toward that Leatherback.

Half a minute later.

The last Level Four Kaiju completely lost all signs of life.

Gipsy Danger stood on the sea surface, covered in the blue blood of the Kaiju.

Its fists were damaged, and its armor was cracked in many places, but it remained standing.

Inside the cockpit, Lilith opened her eyes and let out a soft breath.

Refreshing.

Truly refreshing.

Although the mecha’s strength was limited and couldn’t fully display her entire power.

But that feeling of driving a steel giant body, that feeling of crushing everything with pure strength, was completely different from fighting in her own body.

Very interesting.

She stood up and stepped out of the cockpit.

Standing on the shoulder of Gipsy Danger, facing the sea breeze, she looked down at the three massive Kaiju corpses below.

Her silver-white long hair fluttered in the wind.

On that delicate little face, there was a faint smile.

Inside the Central Control Room, everyone fell into a dead silence once again.

But this time, the silence was not due to shock.

It was because of—

Worship.

That tiny figure standing on the shoulder of the 86-meter-tall mecha was like a deity.

Sterk gazed at that figure on the screen, speechless for a long time.

Three Level Four Kaiju.

One, killed barehanded within ten seconds.

One, smashed back into the seabed with one punch.

One, beaten to death like a Meteor Hammer.

Then, the Plasma Cannon finishing blows.

The entire process was smooth and flowing, like a piece of art.

This was true mecha combat.

This was true violent aesthetics.

And that Little Girl—

She would become the focus of the entire world.

Become a hero of humanity.

Sterk took a deep breath and turned around.

“Notify all departments.”

His voice was steady and powerful.

“Prepare to welcome our—”

He paused, then continued.

“Hero.”
