NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 118: Unit 9: The Fearless

"How are you, 9S?" 2B watched 9S's left hand melt on the spot, and her heart was gripped for a moment.

She was extremely worried and shouted with heartache.

"I'm fine..."

9S looked at his melted left hand. He gritted his teeth and a pool of coolant oozed out from his shoulder and poured onto his burning wrist.

Nourishing~

A puff of green smoke rose up, and 9S grimaced in pain.

The wrist that was originally melted instantly solidified into a ball of metal.

"9S!!!" 2B's eyes instantly turned red as she watched this scene.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

9S shook his hands and gave 2B a forced smile to show that he was fine. Then he spoke:

"2B, I have an idea.

Physical shells are not affected by plasma shields.

There is a defensive electromagnetic cannon on the island ahead."

"But your hand..." 2B couldn't help but say.

"Let's go!" 9S said solemnly.

The two flew to the island one after the other, and under 9S's operation, control of the giant cannon was seized.

"Armor-piercing ammunition loaded!"

"Aim, shoot!"

bang~

With the sound of electromagnetic energy being released, the huge projectile shot towards the giant beast at super high speed.

The 510mm armor-piercing projectile hit the beast hard, but did not cause any effective damage.

There was only a slight dent in his huge body, like a 5mm iron ball hitting a soldier in armor.

The giant beast seemed to feel a needle prick. He slowly turned around and looked at the island where the two were.

Then, he opened his huge mouth, which was a hundred meters wide, revealing the super-giant laser prism inside.

Immediately afterwards, the red light of the prism continued to brighten and become more and more dazzling.

It seemed that an extremely powerful energy was about to sweep across the island where the two were.

"2B, attack its mouth!"

"learn!"

bang~

As powerful electromagnetic energy was released, another 510mm armor-piercing projectile was fired from the magnetic track.

He rushed towards the giant beast's mouth with tremendous force.

Boom boom boom~

The projectile hit the target accurately, and the laser prism that was charging was destroyed.

A large amount of energy was released from his mouth, causing a huge explosion.

The giant beast staggered due to the explosion, and its body retreated backwards, falling heavily on the sea. A huge fireball shot up into the sky.

"Success!"

At the same time, White's magnetic voice came through the communication again.

Ding ding,

"Ahem, this is Commander Yoye White. Order: All combat team members and auxiliary aircraft, leave the combat area at full speed. Maximum speed, maximum distance, as far as you can run. At least 100 kilometers away."

"what?"

The remaining members of the YoRHa team looked at each other again when they heard this order.

They were bewildered and filled with confusion.

But considering what had just happened, he hesitated only a moment, and then took action.

All of a sudden, all the HO fighters opened their afterburners and left the combat zone at full speed, not stopping until they reached the coast of the ruined city more than 100 kilometers away. They lined up neatly and looked solemnly at the sea in the distance.

Suddenly, the sea began to roll violently.

Immediately afterwards, the giant beast seemed to be lifted up by something and actually left the sea.

wrong!

There's something under the sea! ?

Everyone was shocked and looked at the horrific scene in the distance, as if they had stopped breathing.

The world seemed to be plunged into silence.

Amidst the raging waves, an incomparably huge steel body emerged and lifted up the steel behemoth that they had just been attacking.

"Oh my god!"

"How can this be!"

"Could it be..."

"We have been attacking..."

"It's just... its head?!" 9S cried in horror.

"Is this... its true form?" 2B's eyes widened as she stared at the 2-meter-tall steel figure in front of her.

His figure was extremely majestic and full of the breath of death.

Behind him, there were several tentacles made of steel waving constantly, like the monster in the Cthulhu mythology.

The giant beast straightened its body, and on the front of its body, the button-like four-door electromagnetic pulse transmitter base began to rotate continuously, flashing dazzling golden light.

Suddenly, waves of EMP came from all directions.

“2B!”

9S quickly opened the EMP shield and protected 2B tightly behind him.

However, when the EMP energy was released, the terrifying beast waved its huge tentacles and smashed towards the cannon.

Instantly, a powerful shock wave surged in, throwing 2B and 9S into the air.

"2B!!!"

"Natsu!!"

The two people in the air felt dizzy, and they shouted each other's names in fear and anxiety.

Just when they thought they were about to fall, they suddenly felt something pulling them.

When they looked up, they saw that it was Pascal and Ye Feng who arrived in time and grabbed them tightly.

"Are you all right!? Senior, 2B."

"fine!"

Then, they quickly summoned HO fighters and completed the fusion in the air.

"That giant mechanical creature was an abandoned weapon in the past. It was originally used to annihilate androids, but it lost control..."

Pascal continued, "I was still connected to the network of mechanical life forms at the time, so I remember that as soon as he landed, he attacked me without distinguishing between friend and foe. We were unable to stop him from losing control...

He might as well abandon it to the deep sea. It seems he intends to land on his own."

That's it!

"2B, 9M, I have an idea. You two should hold him down here."

"What are you going to do 9S?"

"Senior, please don't mess around!" Ye Feng said, "I still have a way."

9S turned away and closed the communication.

Ye Feng knew what he was going to do.

Ye Feng already had a plan in mind, but he had not been able to carry it out.

He didn't want to hurt too many members of YoRHa.

However, with the help of the system, it is now possible.

At this moment, Pod 042 spoke:

"Reminder: It is recommended that 9S be classified as a deserter."

"No way to compete!" 2B yelled angrily, and flew forward side by side with Ye Feng, starting to restrain the giant beast.

"2B, 9S, 9M, please don't die..." The commander in the bunker looked at their extremely determined figures, his heart filled with worry.

9S flew all the way back to the coast. There were missiles supplying the aircraft carrier on the beach. 9S placed his right hand on it and established a connection with it.

"Hack in!"

"Seize control of the missile and launch."

Orange flames emerged from the tail of the missile and it soared into the air.

9S operates the fighter plane firmly attached to the missile and controls the missile's flight posture.

Target: The beast's mouth.

Noticing the light flying in the distance, the giant beast seemed to realize that danger was coming.

He waved four huge tentacles, protecting himself in front of him while waving them towards the light spots.

“Don’t come! You’re in the way!” 9S let out a battle cry.

However, his intention was seen through, and he could not attack the giant beast's mouth directly.

Helplessly, 9S controlled the trajectory of the projectile downward and tried to insert it through the gap.

The giant beast had already swung its whip down, and the two were about to collide.

9S roared, his blood boiling, and his whole body was filled with the determination to die. He easily dodged the tentacles of the giant beast with his missile.

He was ready to die with the enemy.

But unfortunately, the monster's tentacles blocked the missile's path.

“Still can’t succeed!!!!!!!!!”

9S roared loudly, feeling a strong sense of resentment.

Suddenly, a black dot flew in front of him and was getting closer to him.

It turned out to be Ye Feng.

He was seen driving the HO fighter, grabbing the 9S who was determined to die, taking him away from the missile, and then fully opening the power and leaving the battlefield at full speed.

Boom~

A ball of fire ignited behind him, followed by a loud bang.

The beast screamed in pain.

But, it still wasn't badly damaged.

“9M!?” 9S was very surprised.

"Senior, don't rush to die!" Ye Feng laughed loudly and opened the communication:

"2B, Pascal, quickly leave the battlefield, 100 kilometers away. Be obedient!"

"what?"

The two looked up to the northwest, and saw a meteor streaking across the sky...
