Chapter 274 Not a God
Chapter 274 Not a God
"Give Haruki back!"
The angry shouts, filled with hatred, caused Zhao Yu's attack to erupt completely. All that could be seen was a scene of carnage, while the culprit remained arrogant.
An orange-red light spread across Zhao Yuchong's entire body. The power of the magical beast, conjured through telepathy, empowered the hero. The floating claw that had previously trapped Zhao Yuchong was thrown back with great force and fired out like a cannonball.
How could Galactron's floating cannons possibly hit Galactron itself? The claw arm, which was halfway through its flight, suddenly stopped and reassembled into its original arm.
Then came the laser beams of Zhao Yu's impact; every attack from the giant, whose emotions were running high, was accompanied by an explosion.
The circular barrier opened with one hand, and the giant of light's beam struck the defensive magic circle, sparks flying everywhere. Huilia could clearly feel the power of Zhaoyu's impact continuously increasing.
"Is that all you've got? What a waste of my time."
"With this kind of awareness, you still dare to come out and fight? No wonder you can't even protect anyone."
Despite the impact of the Beta Laser, Huilia unleashed his verbal attack, intending to provoke Zhao Yu. These words did indeed inflict significant damage on Zhao Yu, who was fully aware of his telepathic abilities.
"Shut up! Haruki would never say such a thing!"
Enraged, Zhao Yu unleashed a burst of energy, with flames forming a ring around the giant, eventually transforming into a flaming cloak.
"I will not allow you to tarnish the honor of heroes again! You are a monster!"
The giant, accompanied by flames, leaped up, its afterglow flying everywhere. Zhao Yu's fiery punch slammed into Galactron's defensive barrier, exploding into a volcano the instant of impact.
One punch wasn't enough; two punches were needed to break through the formation.
Zhao Yu's two punches shattered the magic array's defenses, making him resemble a berserk beast determined to tear apart the enemy's body and rip open its "heart" to regain his senses.
Knowing the power of Beta Impact, Huilia naturally had no intention of confronting Zhaoyu head-on. As the magic circle broke, Galactron quickly retreated.
She fired a burst of sparks from her eyes, which, along with the impact of Zhao Yu and the surrounding ground, created a cloud of dust. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Galactron propelled itself to try and create distance between itself and Zhao Yu.
"Don't even think about escaping! I said you'll pay the price!"
Despite the damage from the exploding spark array, Zhao Yu charged forward and grabbed Galactron's tail. The giant and the behemoth began to wrestle with each other on the ground and in the sky.
The airflow generated by Galactron's flames billowed Zhao Yu's tattered cloak as he watched the silver dragon struggle desperately. At this moment, Zhao Yu's mind was filled with thoughts of Ultraman's heroic appearance.
Zeta and Haruki were such great heroes before. No matter what hardships they encountered or what blows they suffered, they always stood by everyone's side, bringing hope and light to all.
Back then, Zhao Yu longed for heroes like them—confident yet never arrogant, righteous and full of love… It was because she saw such role models that Zhao Yu was determined to embark on the path she is on today.
"Why... why did it turn out like this?!"
In a fit of grief and rage, Zhao Yu's arms flashed with a cross-shaped light as he swung them around, pulling Galactron down from the air and slamming him to the ground, sending a pile of parts flying everywhere.
"The aircraft is 63% damaged, its flight functions are malfunctioning, its maneuvering system is partially paralyzed, and it has 20% of its energy remaining."
"Power all the energy into the weapon systems! I'm not leaving; I'm going to settle this here!"
Huilia's command was immediately answered by Galactron, and the fallen silver dragon showed no intention of getting up again.
Zhao Yu charged forward with heavy strides, his every move radiating light and heat, showing no mercy whatsoever.
The floating claw arm was launched to buy time, but it will still take some time before the weapon system is fully charged.
The mechanical giant claw that flew straight at Zhao Yu posed no threat to him. He easily grabbed it with one hand, and then the spiked blades on his arm armor were revealed, forcefully piercing through the mechanical giant claw.
The cross-shaped light shone again, and the entire floating claw was torn in half, with fragments falling all over the ground. The crimson cut surface highlighted the hero's power.
"Come out here, Belial Twilight! Fight me fair and square!"
"How long are you going to keep deceiving Haruki?!"
Zhao Yu grabbed Galactron by the chest and lifted him up, staring directly into his eyes as she questioned him again. This was the last chance she was giving him.
"A lie? Who's lying to whom? There has to be an end to lying to yourself."
"wrong answer."
Enraged once again, Zhao Yu punched Galactron, smashing half of its face and exposing a large number of broken machines inside. From then on, Galactron lost all its functions and was just an empty shell.
"You can't save Yaohui, you can't save everyone, and you can't save anyone. What you're doing now is just venting your anger."
"You're not here to save people at all; you're just enjoying the destruction."
Equally enraged, Huilia showed no mercy in his words. Having been searching for the truth, he knew better than anyone else in the world the power and destructive force of the truth.
Despite having won a complete victory, Zhao Yu couldn't find any words to refute Belial's Twilight.
Yes, the Wolf Knights suffered a crushing defeat, and Galactron was destroyed, but these were not Zhao Yu's goals. She wanted to save everyone; Zhao Yu did not want to give up hope...
But Zhaoyu just couldn't do it; she couldn't do things well, and she couldn't protect anything on her own.
"I will never believe a word you say again. Haruki would never say anything discouraging, much less use otherworldly methods to destroy the world."
Zhao Yu wanted to find an excuse, just one would be enough, something to give her tragic heart something to rely on, something to let her temporarily forget all the unpleasantness and keep going.
"Yaohui is a human, not a god! Nor is he a puppet of light labeled as fantasy!"
"He was never strong. You forced him and Zeta to face the disaster you created because of your arrogance and incompetence!"
Huilia tore through space and emerged from Galactron's body. Haruki's appearance finally appeared before Zhaoyu's eyes, but Zhaoyu had no courage to face it directly.
Zhao Yu hesitated. When she finally saw the hero in her heart, her eyes blurred. She was afraid that she would really continue to glorify the greatness of Haruki, just as Belial Twilight had said.
“I will arrest you and hand you over to Chairman Muban. The chairman will find a way to rescue Yaohui... He always has a way.”
It was clearly the moment of sentencing, yet Zhao Yu's voice grew weaker and weaker. Her lack of confidence revealed none of the violence she had displayed earlier. As her anger subsided, a sense of regret filled Zhao Yu's heart.
Overwhelmed by the sorrow of the situation and reflecting on himself, the bewildered heart can no longer find anything to rely on. The light that once guided the lost now stands in opposition, condemning one fact after another that the world is unwilling to acknowledge.
"Look at me! Fix your eyes on your enemy! Is this how you act as a hero?"
"Not only do they lack confidence, they've even forgotten the basic rules of combat. Just like Sean, they're utterly disappointing."
Huilia drew her sword, summoning magical energy, and thrust it into Galactron. This machine, devoid of any autonomy, was the perfect weapon for Huilia at this moment.
Galactron flipped the greatsword on his left arm, unleashing all the energy he had accumulated. A giant beam sword emerged, launching Galactron's final attack under Huilia's command.
The beam of light cleaved and locked onto the crystal on Zhao Yu's chest, adding magical energy to strike the source of the Light Magic Stone, breaking the transformation of the Giant of Light.
As Galactron's last energy was exhausted, Zhao Yu, weakened, staggered backward, his light dissipating, the giant's body vanishing, and his human form reappearing.
Zhao Yu is no longer a brave warrior who can stand against all odds; she is now just a defeated woman at the mercy of others.
Zhao Yu looked at herself in horror, then frantically glanced at Galactron's mangled body in the distance. She had failed, once again because of her overconfidence.
Huiliya glanced at Zhaoyu without anger or hatred, simply looking at a pitiful, deceived person, just like everyone else.
Turning around, he drew the spatial teleportation spell and left without hesitation.
Zhao Yu is the only one still conscious present. She will retain the regret for the overall defeat, clearly remember the tragic state of every living being, and all of Hui Liya's accusations against her.
Helpless, yet deeply affected.
