Chapter 204: Are You the Legendary Limit Break Style?
Chapter 204: Are You the Legendary Limit Break Style?
"New weapon trial complete. Firepower coverage at eighty-five percent, body temperature at fifty-seven percent, and energy consumption at thirty percent."
"Test target: Dragon-Class Catastrophe Meteor, damage sustained at eight percent. This concludes the energy consumption report."
As the grand display of firepower came to an end, the Metal Knight's body emitted a series of electronic beeps. Its red eye on the front panel flickered, and then, to Genos's astonished gaze, it retreated...
"Don't be surprised. Metal Knight's primary objective was never to stop the meteor but to test his new weapons. Now that he's obtained the data he sought, it's only natural for him to leave."
"Well, Genos, this meteor seems even more troublesome than we imagined. Even with Metal Knight's overwhelming firepower, he barely scratched the surface.
If you want to back out now, you still have time."
Bangu's seemingly kind reminder felt more like a taunt to Genos, so he ignored him. Instead, he transformed his legs into a support structure, anchoring himself to the ground. Then, he clasped his hands together, triggering another round of metallic transformation.
Genos's arms merged, and through a complex series of changes, they quickly morphed into a massive cannon mouth. Intense heat gathered at an astonishing speed!
Genos had just witnessed the attack of the sixth-ranked S-Class Hero, Metal Knight. To be honest, in terms of explosive power, Genos felt his "Incineration Cannon" might fall slightly short of Metal Knight's.
Since even Metal Knight's attack couldn't shatter the meteor, Genos knew his chances of success were slim.
However, upon observation, Genos noticed a difference between his "Incineration Cannon" and Metal Knight's attack.
Metal Knight's attack was powerful but dispersed, focusing on coverage.
In contrast, Genos's "Incineration Cannon" concentrated its power into a beam-like shockwave, so it might be worth a try.
"Mr. Bangu, I advise you to leave this place immediately, whether or not I can shatter the meteor. It's too dangerous for you to stay here."
The Incineration Cannon's energy continued to gather rapidly, and Genos even had time to spare a warning to the Silver Fang beside him.
Genos wasn't sure how powerful the third-ranked S-Class Hero, Silver Fang, was, but at least from what he'd seen so far, the man was just an old blowhard.
Metal Knight at least put on a show before leaving, but as the third-ranked S-Class Hero, you stood there posing the whole time!
I mean, you stood there posing, and now you're leaving it to me, the bottom-ranked S-Class Hero, to deal with this tricky situation?
Bangu's strength was undeniable; after all, he wouldn't be the third-ranked S-Class Hero otherwise. But the issue was that each hero had their specialty. Bangu excelled in martial arts and was proficient in the "River Rock Shattering Fist," a skill perfect for defeating monsters. However, against a natural disaster like a meteor, his abilities were somewhat inadequate.
"Incineration Cannon MAX!"
A surging pillar of fire erupted, and the massive recoil caused Genos's feet, anchored to the ground, to sink deeper, gouging out chunks of the earth's surface.
As the "Budget Cannon," capable of demolishing buildings faster than any demolition crew, struck the falling meteor, Genos felt a powerful resistance in his arms.
The scorching flame pillars struck the meteor's surface, causing some damage, but the meteor's descent remained unaffected, its speed unwavering.
"It's not enough! This level of power is far from sufficient to destroy it!"
With determination, Genos intensified his energy output, and the flame pillars erupting from his hands momentarily contracted before expanding again, now even thicker and more powerful. As the "Incineration Cannon" surged in strength, Genos's body began to display various danger warnings, and arcs of electricity sparked across his mechanical body.
The overloading of the "Incineration Cannon" had surpassed Genos's bodily limits. If he continued, his body's overheating and overload would inevitably lead to his demise.
"Genos, are you insane? Even if you survive, there's no guarantee you'll shatter the meteor! You're risking your life!"
Bangu was stunned by Genos's reckless determination. His "River Rock Shattering Fist" was indeed ill-suited for dealing with such a massive object as the meteor.
Bangu lingered because he admired Genos's potential and didn't want to see such a talented young man perish. He thought that if Genos exhausted his energy without destroying the meteor, they could escape together.
But Bangu never anticipated Genos's stubbornness. Was he truly prepared to die?
"If I don't put my life on the line, how can I surpass my limits? As my teacher said, it's only in the face of absolute desperation that one can transform and grow stronger!"
Bangu froze at Genos's roar. He now suspected that Genos might have joined an extreme martial arts style.
As the master of the "River Rock Shattering Fist," Bangu was a revered figure in the martial arts world. He had heard rumors of such extreme styles but never imagined encountering one.
In the martial arts world, there existed a rare style known as the "Limit Break Style," whose practitioners subjected themselves to harsh environments and rigorous physical training that would astonish ordinary people.
While others might retreat in the face of overwhelming odds, Limit Break Style practitioners relished challenging the impossible, pushing their limits time and again.
In a more romantic light, they were individuals who bravely pursued the pinnacle of martial arts, but in reality, they were stubborn risk-takers.
Practitioners of the Limit Break Style were scarce; it was hard to imagine many disciples surviving such a deadly regimen. Yet, those who survived were undeniably formidable. They possessed unyielding determination, a calm demeanor in the face of adversity, and the ability to consistently surpass their limits.
Bangu now suspected that Genos's teacher might be from this extreme style, explaining Genos's extreme mindset.
