After smashing the head of a spider-like machine about one meter in size that pounced on him, Ejie raised his eyebrows and looked toward the direction of a large disturbance.
What entered his view was a gigantic machine, shaped like a bipedal giant hunting dog walking upright.
This thing indeed looked somewhat similar to the Warhound-class Titan that Ejie had seen before.
However, this thing was even larger, about the size of a Reaver-class Titan, standing over twenty meters tall.
Its right mechanical hand was a seemingly specially reinforced giant steel claw, specifically designed to tear through something hard.
And the left mechanical hand was holding—no, directly welded with five cutting machines as fingers.
Suddenly, the hand with the cutting machines extended straight toward them, and the cutting machines began to operate.
Their speed seemed to be constantly accelerating, producing intense screaming sounds, as if operating in overdrive.
In fact, they indeed appeared to be in overdrive, looking as if the five cutting discs were about to fly off their fixtures.
Wait, fly off?
Ejie's expression changed!
Without hesitation, he immediately jumped toward a position.
Almost at the moment of his jump, the high-speed rotating cutting discs, glowing red from friction with the air, broke through the sound barrier and flew out, accompanied by a sonic boom.
In just the blink of an eye, truly in the blink of an eye, the discs were immediately before his eyes, within arm's reach, as if they had teleported.
Of course, teleportation was impossible, as the distance was only a few hundred meters, and with speeds exceeding the speed of sound, it naturally gave the illusion of instant movement.
In this perilous situation, Ejie certainly wouldn't blink. The direction of his dive had already allowed him to grab someone from behind and pull them back.
Almost at the instant the person was pulled into his arms, a disc flashed past from beside the grabbed person.
If he had been a tenth of a second slower, the body would likely have been dismembered.
And at his original jumping position, the ground was severely cut open with a horrifying scar.
When rolling to the ground, Ejie also saw the situation of the others. In the group with the one named 2B, two females had no time to avoid it—fatally dismembered.
Of the remaining three, one female lost a leg, while the other two, named 2B and the guy called 9S, narrowly escaped.
"Thank you."
The voice of gratitude came from Miss A2, whom he had saved.
With her abilities, she should have been able to dodge, but the prerequisite was noticing the discs being ejected. Due to the interference of a nearby machine lifeform, she hadn't immediately discovered the giant machine's attack pattern.
"Where is this thing's power source?"
With his current armament, to destroy such a giant, his firepower was insufficient. He needed to find a weak point for a one-hit kill.
"Want to destroy the power source? Not recommended, as the protective armor is too thick. I suggest destroying the control system."
2B advised.
While the two were having this conversation, both of them as well as A2 were already sprinting toward the huge machine, closing the distance rather than increasing it.
In the current situation, keeping a distance would be more dangerous, as it would be more convenient for the machine to deploy its limbs for attacks.
Conversely, being closer would make it harder for this large mechanical lifeform to attack.
"Boom—Boom—!"
Two huge explosions erupted above the three, the blasts from two missiles. These were attacks from the large machine, but they weren't shot down by the two—they were support from the YoRHa troops.
To be precise, it was support from the small machine beside the one named 2B.
And this 2B was also rushing from one side toward the large machine, clearly also acting with the intention of destroying the opponent's weak point.
In the blink of an eye, the few of them were already beneath the large machine, just about to start climbing up when suddenly, from numerous corners inside the large machine's body, a nest of spider-like mechanical creatures surged out.
[Enable Livestream Mode?]
Suddenly, this content appeared in A2's mind, surprising her.
This was a pop-up initiated by the chat system.
Enabling this livestream mode meant that their current encounter would be broadcast for the group members to watch.
Normally, A2 would definitely dislike being watched, feeling like her every move was being monitored.
But this livestream had a sense of seeking help, because the intelligence revealed through the chat group showed that everyone's worlds might exist as relevant information in someone else's world.
And if she enabled livestreaming now, perhaps someone truly knew information about her world, clearly understood the structure of the giant machine before her, knew its specific weaknesses, and could transmit such intelligence to her, allowing her to better deal with the current crisis.
Suddenly, her body was pulled by someone, startling her. She had been slightly distracted and almost got cut by the scythe-like foot of a spider-type machine lifeform.
"Don't space out."
The voice came from the person who had saved her again, the one she had invited to this world.
So, A2 confirmed the livestream and then concentrated on dealing with these spiders.
....
School finally ended, and Ruri Gokou unhesitatingly logged into the [Super-Dimensional Channel] immediately.
Huh? Only that A2 was online, a taciturn figure who was probably also a very gloomy person.
Huh?
What's going on?
Black Cat discovered that under A2's avatar icon in the chat group, there was a notification indicating she was currently livestreaming.
Since A2 hadn't uploaded any image as an avatar, the avatar was just blank.
But the current issue wasn't about the avatar, but what this livestream meant.
Click to see—following this thought, a cursor also clicked, popping up a window—
This is—a real livestream?
Suddenly, there was such a function.
What was happening? A battle?
A group of mechanical spiders were attacking A2, right?
And A2—wow, looking at this camera, moving with the character at the center, she was a beautiful woman with silver hair.
This fighting posture was exactly like a Valkyrie.
Of course, other figures were also visible in the frame, including another woman in black attire with short silver hair, who also appeared to be a great beauty in terms of figure and posture.
But her face was covered with a cloth, blindfolding her eyes—was she blind?
Oh, oh, oh, that thing, wearing huge heavy armor, seemingly crude guns, firing bullets that explode.
Unfortunately, hitting the huge iron plate didn't cause much damage.
This huge iron plate also moved.
This—
No, not a huge iron plate. As A2 moved, providing a more open God's perspective, Black Cat saw that this was actually a huge metal mechanical monster!
What's going on?
Fighting a BOSS?
