Chapter 74 - Dawn of Victory 1

"This is the platoon leader Tabuchi. The Kaiju's strength has increased!" 

"This is the platoon leader Miyake! It's the same here! The situation has made a complete 180!" 

"This is Ichikura! It's the same here!" 

All the soldiers made their reports due to the change in the Kaiju that grew stronger and resurrected on the battlefield. 

The rear area was overwhelmed by the reports, but even so, they gave their everything despite how hard their situation was, especially—

"No way! It's expanding even further! All the Kaiju have spread further and will attack the entire Tokyo!" 

As the emergency alarm echoed within the city, Shinra used Weapon Number 4, which should have been wielded by Kikoru. 

Two dragonfly-like wings emerged from his back as his body soared directly into the sky, as Shinra listened to the report and looked at the data given by the headquarters of the location of the anomaly, especially everything that was related to Kaiju No. 9, and also the ressurected Kaiju that had been killed by everyone. 

The Kaiju No. 9 was a unique Kaiju that had never appeared in history; besides merging, it could only control, create, and even resurrect a Kaiju.

Still, while Kaiju No. 9 was impressive, Shinra knew that the basis of every ability had always been an energy.

Like how the sun needs hydrogen to create energy, it is impossible for Kaiju No. 9 to do all of those unreasonable abilities without a limit unless—

'It merges into Kaiju No. 8.' 

Unlike Kaiju No. 9, Kafka, in his Kaiju No. 8, had no special abilities except for a beam and powerful physical ability, but his energy was almost limitless. 

No, it wasn't limitless, instead it was like an accumulation of something from a distance past, but when all of that was used, naturally, it would disappear, but unlike a human that needed food, a vehicle that needed gasoline, or the plant that needed sunlight, Kafka's energy came from negative emotions. 

To use an emotion to become stronger. 

While it was an amazing type of energy, this type of energy also relied on the human's will, so if somehow, the place where one fought was far away from humans, such as deep into the sea, space, or any other places where humans were impossible to live, their power would be only so-so, or even weakened further. 

Naturally, while the power of emotion was great, Shinra didn't really want to specialize in it, and if possible, he had many sources of energy, since the more energy, the stronger he was. 

'What's the point of thinking about this now?' 

He should just need to think about how to grow stronger, and to take the abilities of the Kaiju No. 9, so he could gain a complete and more powerful merging ability. 

"Give me all of the positions of those Kaiju." 

"Yes, Sir!" 

On his high-tech visor, the image of a map of the entire Tokyo was displayed, and several red dots, indicating where the Kaiju had emerged, resurrected, and grown stronger, were shown to him. 

Shinra also changed his weapon into a bayonet as it could be used in both close combat and long-range combat. 

Close combat might be cooler, but in the modern world, without a doubt, long-range combat is king. 

Taking a deep breath, the wings on his back moved faster and faster before he vanished, leaving a sonic boom that startled everyone. All of a sudden, all the red dots that represented the Kaiju on the map that was displayed on the large map vanished one after another, being taken out by Shinra. 

"Amazing..." 

While no one could see his figure, everyone could feel the powerful wind and the sonic boom that he left behind before the Kaiju that they had troubled to fight was decimated and defeated into a pile of dead flesh. 

Nothing could stop him; his speed was too fast to be followed, yet, even so, everyone sighed in relief that this strongest soldier existed by their side. 

A certain country might have developed a research to fuse the body of the Kaiju into the human, but no one thought that this research could be even better than their strongest soldier, Uchiha Shinra. 

With Weapon Number 6, he could freeze anything, killing them under the frigid temperature, and with Weapon Number 4, he became the fastest human that ever existed, reaching more than 1 Mach. 

At that moment, the dawn of victory was before their eyes, and the Kaiju No. 9, who had caused the disaster, was also ganged up on by Kafka, Narumi, Kikoru, Hoshina, and even Mina. 

Kafka in his strongest Kaiju form, Narumi with his Weapon Number 1, which made him able to read the future, Kikoru with her unleashed high combat power and powerful axe style, Hoshina, the close combat specialist, and Mina, the strongest long-range combatant. 

Knowing that Shinra worked hard to erase all Kaiju that emerged, resurrected, and grew stronger, they could focus on defeating Kaiju No. 9! 

"Damn you!" 

The Kaiju No. 9, who had given its everything, was overwhelmed since, unlike other Number Kaiju, who had a special ability that allowed them to fight alone, it was a leader type, but even so, it wasn't weak! 

It could grow stronger by learning, and by learning, it would grow even stronger, ultimately defeating all the soldiers that tried to erase it.

Yet, even so, it knew that it was impossible to merge into the Kaiju No. 8, especially when Narumi, Kikoru, Hoshina, and Mina wouldn't allow it! 

BOOOOM! BOOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM! 

SPLASH! CUT! SLICE!

Mina, who was supported from the rear, shot out her cannon, breaking all of the limbs of the Kaiju No. 9! 

Meanwhile, Narumi, Kikoru, and Hoshina worked together, cutting and taking down this Kaiju by aiming for its core. 

Unfortunately, the Kaiju No. 9 was a trickier opponent than they had imagined, but fortunately, they weren't the only ones who made an attack! 

"IT'S YOUR END, KAIJU NO. 9!" 

Kafka's fist glowed with electricity and an enormous amount of energy gathered towards this fist before he unleashed it at the Kaiju No. 9! 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!

The powerful attack swallowed the Kaiju No. 9 entirely, and confirmed the victory of the Defense Force! 

A victory for everyone! 

"It's over..." 

Kafka, who stood on the ruined asphalt street, looked at the sky with a happy smile as he could help everyone. 

"WE WON!" 

Everyone who heard the announcement of Victor cheered happily, but what they didn't know was that the Kaiju No. 9, who knew that it couldn't defeat the Kaiju No. 8, merging it into its body, hadn't given up! 

Instead, the Kaiju No. 9 had changed its aim to someone else! 

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

In the monitor room where everyone cheered happily, a sudden explosion startled all of them, and before they could see, the familiar Kaiju that brought terror to everyone appeared! 

"KAIJU NO. 9!" 

"I WILL TAKE YOU WITH ME, ISAO SHINOMIYA!" 

Yes, Kaiju No. 9 had changed its target to Isao, the wielder of the Number Weapon 2, and was also known as the strongest soldier in the past! 

As long as it merged Isao into its body, it would become stronger and also gain all the knowledge of this country! 

"DIRECTOR!" 

Naturally, Isao wouldn't back away, and decided to face this battle since he was a soldier, but when he was ready to fight—

Splash! 

The Kaiju No. 9 that was thought to bring terror was destroyed as they saw a familiar figure standing on the top of the corpse of the Kaiju. 

"Are you okay, Director?" 

With tears in their eyes, they shouted his name, "Uchiha-san!" 

During the crisis, when everyone thought that it was the end, Shinra came!
