Chapter 68: God-Level Pilot, Kid!
After mocking Puri-Puri Prisoner, Deep Sea King didn't waste any more time on the muscle pervert.
In the pouring rain, he spread his arms wide, carefully sensing his surroundings.
"Hmm... The scent of humans is thicker in this direction. So the ordinary humans are all hiding over there? Interesting!"
Sensing the large concentration of humans, the smile on Deep Sea King's face grew even more grotesque. He strode toward the evacuation shelter.
But in the very next second, the crisp sound of metal clashing rang out, and the roar of an engine core echoed through the stormy night.
"Incinerate!"
A beam of scorching heat evaporated the falling rain, rushing toward Deep Sea King at incredible speed. The crimson light expanded rapidly in his pupils.
What?!
Deep Sea King's expression changed slightly. Without hesitation, he crossed his arms in front of his chest. The micro-scales on his skin locked together tightly, combining with his powerful muscles to increase his defense.
The Incineration Cannon collided head-on with his body. The sizzling sound of flesh being seared filled the air, and the powerful impact forced Deep Sea King to slide backward continuously.
Such powerful energy... What is this thing...
Two deep trenches appeared beneath his feet as he was pushed back. His arms, used for blocking, began to emit faint smoke.
His vertical pupils stared fiercely ahead, trying to see the attacker clearly, but all he saw was a blue core flickering in the rainstorm and a cannon muzzle glowing with light.
"Don't look down on me!"
Deep Sea King was enraged. As the ruler of the sea, how could he tolerate such humiliation, not even being able to see his enemy's face?
ROAR!!
He let out a deafening roar. Forcing his way forward against the Incineration Cannon, risking injury, he swung a massive fist.
The giant fist tore through the air with chilling momentum, smashing viciously toward Genos.
Facing this attack, if it were the old Genos, he would likely have activated his thrusters for a head-on clash.
But at this moment, Genos's right-side thrusters fired. He simply shifted slightly to the right, dodging Deep Sea King's fist with precision.
While the momentum of the dodge was still active, his lower-right thrusters fired in succession, moving him behind Deep Sea King like a ghost.
At this moment, Deep Sea King was in the awkward phase where his old force was spent and new force hadn't yet been generated. He couldn't mount an effective defense.
Seizing this opportunity, Genos raised his left hand. Sharp blades extended from his wrist and began to spin rapidly, turning into an extremely sharp chainsaw.
The moment the spinning blades touched Deep Sea King's flesh, they tore through skin and muscle. Green blood and chunks of flesh sprayed across the ground.
Simultaneously, Genos didn't stay idle. He pressed his right hand directly against Deep Sea King's thigh (specifically, the inner thigh area) and fired an Incineration blast.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"
Being burned and sliced simultaneously, Deep Sea King let out a wretched scream. His massive body spun around, smashing a fist backward with fury.
Facing this heavy blow, he expected Genos to give up the attack or at least pause.
But Deep Sea King never expected the robot in front of him to pull off such a heaven-defying move.
With a crisp metallic click from his elbow joints, Genos's forearms detached. His thrusters propelled his main body backward, dodging Deep Sea King's fist.
But those two detached arms remained attached to Deep Sea King, continuing to slash and incinerate his body relentlessly.
Impossible!!
Deep Sea King, who had lived in the deep sea for so long and never seen such novelties, was dumbfounded.
While Deep Sea King was stunned, Genos's golden mechanical eyes burst with blinding light. Two lasers pierced the void, accurately hitting Deep Sea King's eyes.
"ARGHHH!! MY EYES! DAMN HUMAN!!"
The ruler of the sea roared in terror and pain. The sudden loss of vision plunged him into involuntary panic, and he flailed his massive fists wildly, attacking the air around him.
Seizing this chance, Genos extended his upper arms forward. Sensing the summons, the two detached forearms stopped attacking and flew back, reattaching perfectly.
In less than a minute of engagement, Deep Sea King had suffered multiple lacerations, taken a heavy hit to a sensitive area, and been blinded by lasers.
Looking at what his own body had just done, Genos was dazed. A heartfelt lament escaped his lips.
"As expected of King-sensei! His combat experience is terrifyingly profound! Facing an unfamiliar mechanical body, he can still pull off such spectacular maneuvers!"
That's right. The battle just now was entirely controlled by King piloting Genos's body. The Genos of the past could never have pulled off such intricate moves.
Take the thrusters, for example. Genos usually just used them to charge forward blindly, increasing impact but losing fine control and wasting energy.
King, controlling the mechanical body, conserved energy as much as possible, using the smallest movements for the greatest effect.
Every burst of the thrusters used minimal energy but perfectly dodged every attack, while simultaneously delivering precise strikes to vital points.
Moreover, King perfectly utilized all the extra functions he had recommended Genos install, from the detachable arms to the melee weapons.
Meanwhile, at the Dojo.
King held a silver-white game controller in his hands, his thumbs moving back and forth rapidly.
His focused expression looked like he was facing a boss with delayed attack patterns in a Soulslike game.
Looking closely, however, the corner of his mouth was curled up in a sly grin.
God-level piloting, kid!
This time, Genos hadn't just installed weapons and body functions; he had added something else.
Besides controlling himself, he could now be fully piloted by King via this special controller, sharing vision through his mechanical eyes.
This was tantamount to handing over his life and everything to another person. It required immense trust and courage.
However, Genos would always trust two people: the Doctor who had helped him all this time, and his earnest teacher, King.
