The thunderous roars that erupted from the skeletal displays were unlike anything that had echoed through the museum before. These weren't the simple aggressive cries of the Triceratops, these were the bone-deep reverberations that had once marked the presence of Earth's apex predators.
Dr. Animo manipulated his transmodulator with frenzied precision, pouring the last reserves of his device's power into the fossil displays. Red light cascaded over the ancient bones as genetic reconstruction took hold, flesh and muscle materializing around the prehistoric skeletons with preternatural speed.
Tyrannosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Dr. Animo had resurrected the once undisputed kings of the dinosaur world!
The roars of these two behemoths dwarfed anything the Triceratops had produced. The massive parrot beneath Dr. Animo trembled uncontrollably, its heightened instincts screaming warnings of the predators looming before them. The giant bird squawked in terror, trying desperately to flap its wings and escape immediately.
Ben, Gwen and Max covered their ears and stared in disbelief at the materializing titans before them. The sheer presence of these creatures, even before they were fully formed, filled the air with primal terror.
This was the most powerful being of all the dinosaurs!
"You two, kill that four-eyed monster!" Dr. Animo ordered after nervously patting the ankle of the nearest Tyrannosaurus. Immediately, he fled toward the far pillars of the museum hall, his own fear of these behemoths evident in his desperate retreat.
This time, it was Four Arms facing the legendary kings of the prehistoric world.
Ding!
"Login targets detected: Genetically reanimated Tyrannosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
"Attack both at the same time to complete registration!"
"One against two?" Four Arms looked up at the massive dinosaurs with all four eyes, his expression changing from mild interest to genuine anticipation. With a slight bend in his legs, his entire twelve-foot frame seemed to defy gravity as he launched himself at the two titans.
His transformation time was limited, and he had to finish this quickly!
The two Dinosaurs were stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting a creature to dare challenge them directly. Their surprise quickly turned to rage as their artificially heightened aggression kicked in.
BOOM!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex swung its massive, pillar-thick tail toward Four Arms like a devastating steel whip. The appendage sliced through the air with enough force to crack concrete.
Four Arms had anticipated the attack perfectly. His upper arms shot out and grabbed the incoming tail with iron determination. Despite being airborne, his body remained perfectly stable as he caught the Rex's blow in mid-swing!
His lower pair of arms plunged into the museum floor with devastating force, lifting a boulder nearly thirty feet in diameter from the reinforced foundation.
As if tossing a pebble, Four Arms held the massive rock in one hand and nonchalantly flicked it toward the approaching Tyrannosaurus. The projectile struck with rocket-like force!
Even the Tyrannosaur's armored skin couldn't withstand the impact. The creature roared in pain, its eyes instantly turning blood red with rage as it opened its massive jaws and lunged at the Tetramand Warrior.
Watching Four Arms' tactical display, everyone in the room felt their breath catch. They hadn't expected the alien hero to choose direct confrontation against both prehistoric titans at the same time!
"This human child's nature is far too aggressive, he's destined for destruction," Dr. Animo clenched his fists as he watched the battle with excited anticipation. He was counting on the legendary kings of the dinosaur world to finally defeat this four-armed menace!
Ding! Congratulations to the host on a successful registration!
Reward received: Rare Green - Martial Arts Mastery, "Eight Extremes Collapse"!
The reward this time was an advanced fighting technique from a legendary martial arts system, Bajiquan's devastating "Eight Extremes Collapse"!
Four Arms' eyes involuntarily closed as new knowledge flooded his consciousness. A figure appeared in his mind's eye, demonstrating the technique in slow motion, then hundreds of times faster, showing countless variations and applications of the explosive martial art.
After witnessing this instant download, the mental figure expanded infinitely until it completely merged with Four Arms' own consciousness!
The martial arts mastery was perfectly integrated into his Tetramand physiology!
When he opened his eyes, only a second had passed in real time.
The charging Tyrannosaurus had raised its massive head, claws extended like meteors, closing the distance rapidly. It was less than ten meters away!
"Perfect timing to test my new Bajiquan techniques!" Four Arms suddenly released the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail, his expression becoming intensely focused as he advanced on the approaching predator.
One of his four arms bent slightly at the elbow, his fist clenched as veins bulged across his enhanced musculature. Even the contours of his muscles expanded dramatically, as if they contained barely suppressed explosive power!
"This is bad! If this punch connects, the Tyrannosaurus won't be able to withstand it, it will definitely be knocked out!" Dr. Animo watched the scene with growing fear, realizing that his dinosaur had no chance of winning in a one-on-one confrontation.
But just as Four Arms and the Tyrannosaurus were about to collide, the Tetramand Warrior unleashed his devastating technique.
"Eight Extremes Collapse!"
Four Arms threw his punch with perfect form, and the impact traveled from his foundation through his entire body. The ground beneath him instantly cracked, massive cracks appeared in the museum ceiling high above him, every skeleton in the hall began to tremble, and the force of the blow created shockwaves that made the very air vibrate!
Even the armored skin of the Tyrannosaurus could feel the tremendous windstorm created by the blow against its massive frame!
BOOM!
As Four Arms' earth-shattering blow connected with the Tyrannosaurus' body, a deafening explosion echoed throughout the museum!
The next moment was almost surreal.
The massive body of the Tyrannosaurus was launched skyward, blood spurting from its jaws as it sailed more than sixty feet through the air like a massive projectile! The creature flew the length of the museum hall!
CRASH!
The Tyrannosaurus slammed into the far wall with tremendous force, and just as it was about to smash through the reinforced barrier, it finally crashed to the ground with an earth-shattering thud!
"What... what kind of power was that?" Dr. Animo's red sunglasses fell off his face and shattered on the ground. He stared at Four Arms as if he was witnessing a supernatural phenomenon.
How terrifying was that single blow?
Four Arms gasped slightly, his striking arm aching from the tremendous force he'd unleashed. His fist tingled with residual energy from the technique.
An all-out Bajiquan strike, and he had sent a Tyrannosaurus flying!
"Now then," Four Arms turned to the Tyrannosaurus Rex with anticipation gleaming in all four eyes, "let's test my strength against you as well!"
The Tyrannosaurus Rex trembled as it met his gaze, its heightened consciousness realizing the terrifying truth of its situation.
Roles had been completely reversed.
Once, it had been the undisputed ruler of Earth, and countless herbivores had been nothing more than prey.
Now, in the face of this four-armed giant, it had become the hunted, nothing more than a training dummy for the Tetramand Warrior to practice his devastating techniques against!
