Chapter 180 Attack
Considering that some Heroic Spirits may have difficulty communicating, or their minds may be blank and not focused on anything important, Makoto Aoki gave a brief introduction.
Beast, the beast of original sin, also known as human evil, is a great calamity rejected by human history. It is a collective term for seven calamities that harm humanity, totaling seven major human evils.
Human evil, though evil, can never be eradicated. It will arise as long as humanity exists, but humanity must overcome it.
"Grandpa didn't know his specific identity either, because human evil is actually a manifestation of human love. In other words, any kind of human love can potentially turn into human evil."
"Human evil is mostly ancient demon gods, or it may be replaced by other beings, so Taigong cannot confirm its true identity."
"However, according to the information conveyed by the dream, it should be related to the mother, the ocean, and the return of the beast, which means it may contain the concept of the sea of origin."
"And in similar legends from various countries, these kinds of gods hold a high status, which means that our enemy... or rather, the human evil we need to overcome, is absolutely formidable."
"However, don't worry too much. In fact, the golden-haired, jade-faced, nine-tailed Daji that my follower Taigong Wang killed in the Shang Dynasty was also a beast. If the beast that appeared this time was not obviously not Daji, Taigong Wang would be very confident."
First, he should give everyone a wake-up call, and then offer comfort. Makoto Aoki has already mastered this kind of PUA technique.
After all, we can't let everyone completely lose confidence... Speaking of which, if it really is Daji, Taigong Wang might be able to achieve the feat of solo killing Beast, since he is all about Daji, and even Koyanskaya, who only looks similar but has no real connection to him, was badly beaten by him.
Makoto Aoki's words undoubtedly reassured everyone a bit. Some naive girls, like Eriri, even thought that since Taiko no Momo could defeat Daji, there would definitely be no problem with so many Heroic Spirits now.
However, Makoto Aoki was still somewhat worried because the Servants summoned by his system would not have Grand Spirit Origins. Even though Taiko no Momo, King Hassan, Merlin, King Arthur, and Caster Gilgamesh all had the qualifications for Grand Spirit Origins, they were essentially still ordinary Spirit Origins.
Moreover, he already knew who the beast that had manifested this time was.
Tiamat, the Beast of Return from Beast 2.
One of the creator gods in Mesopotamian mythology. All the gods were born of Aps, who was fresh water, and Tiamat, who was salt water.
She is the true Mother of Creation, and even possesses the characteristic that she will not die as long as there is life in the world.
Makoto Aoki is currently waiting for the beast to truly manifest so that he can summon a true god-level Heroic Spirit.
……
Coast of country m.
Two American soldiers were on duty outside. Under the scorching sun, they felt listless and lacked energy. They leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and started chatting.
"Tsk, with these mechanical soldiers around, do we even need to be here?" A soldier scoffed, looking disgruntled.
In the direction he pointed, there were about a dozen mechs patrolling outside.
Full of sci-fi feel, the mechanical soldiers painted in the American tricolor tirelessly patrol under the scorching sun. Even the steel is hot under the sunlight, but they are completely unaware that they are constantly moving forward.
The soldier's worries were not unfounded. These mechanical soldiers were highly efficient and powerful, knew no rest, were produced quickly, and did not require compensation when they were scrapped. Given the desire of those officials to save costs, they could easily eliminate all human soldiers.
"Say less. This was approved for production and use by the president. Even if you don't like it, there's nothing you can do." Another soldier patted his comrade on the shoulder and comforted him. "Thinking about how things have been lately, with these mech soldiers in place, we'll be safer."
“That’s true.” The soldier wanted to talk about something else, but then he noticed a dark spot on the distant horizon, which was particularly noticeable under the clear sky.
Could it be a fish tide? Is there a fish tide around now? He placed his hand on his brow bone and squinted at the distance.
Before he could figure out what was going on, a sharp alarm pierced the sky.
"Enemy attack——"
As the alarm sounded, all the soldiers donned their gear and picked up their weapons, ready for battle.
The soldier on duty outside nudged his comrade hard with his elbow: "You were right, you jinx! Go! Go! Go! Run, brother!"
"------"
Amidst a surging sound like a dense swarm of insects, a dark mass on the sea surface moved at high speed toward us.
The mechanical soldier, modeled after Babbage, had red eyes that flashed, and a dull, mechanical voice rang out: "Warning! This is US territory. Please show your identification!"
The dense fanning sound was getting closer and closer, and some soldiers could already see the attackers' specific appearance through their binoculars.
"My god!" The soldier swallowed hard, his blue pupils widening in disbelief. "Is...is this a demon?"
“Chichichichichi!”
The shrill laughter reached the soldiers' ears, truly like a demon, disturbing and frightening them.
Then, some of the monsters in the sky plunged into the sea, while others landed directly on the beach, causing the entire ground to shake and stirring up a thick cloud of dust.
In a short period of time, the entire mechanized force had been mobilized. The mechanized soldiers, painted with the three colors of the United States, transformed into red lights of attack, firing bullets forward recklessly. The soldiers of the United States were the same; most of them had never been on the battlefield before, so they simply put their hands on the triggers and unleashed all the bullets.
The bright yellow shell casings scattered across the beach with the sound of gunfire. Only after all the stored bullets were used up did the mechanical soldiers stop firing and activate the turbine device to disperse the smoke and dust that obscured their vision.
The moment the smoke and dust dissipated, a pair of black scythe-like feet struck like lightning.
Before the mechanical soldiers could even analyze the approaching enemy, they were easily torn apart and dismembered. The ripped steel and the flashing electric wires revealed just how sharp those scythe-like feet were.
Suddenly, a black lightning bolt streaked across the sky, pinning the monster to the ground. Only then did everyone realize that it was a black javelin.
Even though it was pierced through and pinned to the ground, the black monster continued to twitch its limbs, demonstrating its powerful vitality.
"This is troublesome."
The heroic spirit who came to the rescue scratched his brown hair, looking troubled.
He exerted force again, splitting the monster in two, and only then did the monster struggle and stop moving.
"The uncle didn't expect there to be so many troublesome enemies."
"Anyway, you guys should run away first, everyone." This was the message left for the soldiers.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp—"
Before anyone knew it, the eerie, mocking laughter of the monster had taken over the entire area around the beach.
