"What is that?"
"An Angel?"
The giant spotted it. A massive black spider crashing into the battlefield. Moving toward the city. About to enter Tokyo-2's city limits.
"Of all the times to show up!"
BOOM!
The giant—airborne—glanced at Super Gob. Still alive. Still strong. Then at Matarael in the distance.
Decision made.
He accelerated. Sonic boom.
"Again! Again! AGAIN!"
"This time it's a giant spider!"
"It's moving so fast!"
Students in the transport saw the Angel. Despair on every face.
To their side—the massive black spider. Behind them—the giant and kaiju, locked in combat. The evacuation convoy could only speed up. Again.
Worse—the Angel was closer to the city. It crested the mountain. Already near the city's edge.
"Kensuke!"
"Can we escape? How long until it catches us?" Toji Suzuhara grabbed Kensuke Aida's arm. Panic in his voice.
The convoy—less than a third of the distance left to escape the city. But at this speed, in this race against death, they wouldn't see tomorrow's sunrise.
"I—I don't know either!" Kensuke was terrified too.
"Are we... going to die here?" Some students were breaking down.
Not just the students. Adults in other transports—losing control of their emotions. Couldn't imagine what came next.
"Wait!"
"That... that giant's coming back!" Kensuke—still watching through binoculars—spotted it first. The giant. Flying toward the city. Extreme speed.
BOOM!
A massive form. Sonic flight. The impact—unimaginable. The instant the giant neared the city's edge, the closest buildings collapsed. Crumbled.
The city's edge was already evacuated. The giant slowed in time. Minimal damage.
Before anyone could react, he was already in front of the massive black spider.
[1:25]
"SKREE!" Even Matarael didn't understand what happened.
The red-and-silver giant appeared before it. Suddenly. It deployed its AT Field instinctively. Tried to defend. Prepared to spray acid at the giant.
But within one second—the giant's hand pierced through the AT Field. Grabbed its main body. Violent acid hissed. Sizzled. Couldn't corrode the giant's palm at all.
Then—
WHAM!
Aimed at the direction he came from. Arm tensed. Like throwing a bowling ball—hurled Matarael outward.
The massive creature flew skyward. Broke the sound barrier. Its AT Field—fully deployed—barely kept it from falling apart. An arc through the air. The giant used it as an acid bomb. Threw it toward the distant kaiju.
THUD! THUD!
Super Gob was already moving. Heavy legs pounding. Violent tremors. Charging toward the city—citizens not fully evacuated yet.
Facing Matarael hurtling toward it, Super Gob simply swung its scythe-arm upward.
CRACK!
Matarael fell. Its AT Field—fully deployed—met the scythe. A crisp sound. Matarael split in two. Green acid sprayed from the split body. Splashed onto Super Gob.
HISS! HISS! HISS!
Highly corrosive liquid ate at Super Gob's body. But it only washed away the dirt and rock coating its surface. Its tough skin completely ignored the acid.
Matarael. Dead.
"SKREEE!" Super Gob didn't care about its death. Kept charging toward the giant.
"Tough bastard!" The giant didn't care about the Angel's death either. Realized the next fight would inevitably happen in the city. Immediately used Ultra Psychic to search for remaining civilians.
[1:12]
Several figures flew out from building corners. Protected by Ultra Psychic. Flew into the distant evacuation convoy.
Now at least two-thirds of the city was clear for combat.
No time to worry about property damage. If he didn't eliminate Super Gob quickly, the result would be catastrophic disaster.
"Why—why am I flying?"
"Help me!"
"What's happening?"
"That giant... and... the kaiju!"
The rescued civilians—faces full of terror. Flying through the air at extreme speed. Peripheral vision swept over the modern, prosperous city below. Saw the giant—arms crossed. Saw the terrifying beast charging toward the city in violent tremors.
CLANG!
They landed in the evacuation transports. Couldn't process what happened. Hearts still racing. Watched the empty city with the other refugees. Swallowed instinctively. Their worldview—shattered by this supernatural intrusion into reality.
THUD! THUD! The ground tremors grew stronger. Through flying debris and billowing dust, the monstrous beast closed in on the city.
The impact of its running—even from a distance—toppled buildings at the city's edge.
A kaiju weighing over one hundred thousand tons. Charging through tremors. More terrifying than any full military charge in history. A walking natural disaster.
[1:05]
Facing the approaching kaiju, the giant held two light wheels in his hands. Sharp serrated edges. Brilliant wheels spinning. Cutting the air. Buzzing. Roaring.
Glass in surrounding buildings shattered from the vibrations. Shards danced mid-air.
"Gotta hurry!" Time for battle—running out.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
Two Ultra Slashes launched with the giant's arm motion. Ultra-high-speed rotation. Flashed through the city's airspace. Sudden pressure changes tore buildings along their path. Debris spiraled upward. Trailed behind the wheels' trajectory—a curved tail of rubble.
Some rebar and concrete caught in the wheels. Annihilated by the surging energy.
"SKREEE!"
CLANG! CLANG!
Super Gob—just stepping into the city's edge—faced the two wheels attacking from left and right. Fierce light blazed in its eyes. Its scythe-arms—slightly blackened from the Spacium Beam—swung.
Deafening wind-breaking sound. Shattered one wheel. Deflected the other. It fell into the city.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The deflected wheel hit the city streets. Instantly carved through the road. Sudden pressure changes lifted surrounding buildings. Dragged them underground. Destroyed an entire street block.
Ultra Slashes with such power. Still couldn't break Super Gob's defense.
This was a Space Combat Beast.
