Chapter 1215
Belaukun: Storm One, you've finally arrived!
"Storm One! Come out!!!! Storm One!!!! I can sense your presence!!! Storm One!!!!"
Belaucon's roar shook the heavens and earth. Its massive body stomped wildly on the ruins, each step creating deep ravines in the ground. The missile launchers around it hummed, and its crimson eyes were fixed on the direction of Cui Ming, the resentment in its eyes almost overflowing—it had truly come for revenge!
It clearly sensed that familiar, unforgettable aura—the same Storm One that had defeated it and subjected it to endless humiliation!
In truth, its hatred for Storm One was hundreds or thousands of times deeper than its hatred for Ace! Being defeated by Ace back then was merely a regret due to insufficient strength, but being defeated by Storm One was a humiliation of being completely crushed and powerless to fight back. That hatred that rose from the very core of its being did not diminish at all even after being resurrected from the dead; on the contrary, it became even more intense.
"Come out! Storm One!!!! Come out!!!!" It roared as it frantically fired several missiles. The missiles slammed into the ground, creating huge craters. Amidst the billowing smoke, its roar grew even more frantic, as if it wanted to overturn the entire world, all to force out the figure it hated to the bone.
At this moment, everyone—from the staff at NERV headquarters, the remnants of the Self-Defense Forces hiding behind bunkers, the behind-the-scenes forces secretly monitoring the situation, to even Kaworu in his cage—was filled with curiosity and questions.
People huddled together and whispered, their voices full of doubt: "Who exactly is this Storm One? Belokorn has gone mad, willing to risk his life to seek revenge against him."
The NERV operator frowned, staring at the crazed Belokorn on the monitor screen, and muttered to himself, "Never heard of this name before. Is he a newly emerged powerhouse? Or some hidden big shot? How could he make Belokorn so wary and hate him?"
Even Kaworu couldn't help but press himself against the cage bars, his eyes full of curiosity—he could sense Cui Ming's strength, but he never expected that Cui Ming also had the name "Storm One" and that he had such a deep grudge against Belokorn. Just how many secrets does this Storm One hold?
Everyone's eyes instinctively turned towards the direction of Belaukun's roar, with only one thought in their minds: Who exactly is this Storm One?
Whether it was the civilians watching from behind cover, the staff monitoring the situation at NERV headquarters, or even the behind-the-scenes forces secretly observing the situation, they were all wondering: Why is this creature called Super Beast so obsessed with Storm One?
Who exactly is this Storm One? Who could drive Belokorn to such madness that he'd risk everything to seek revenge, even at the cost of destruction?
While everyone was filled with doubt, Belaucon was still wildly waving his huge limbs on the ruins, launching missiles everywhere and bombarding the ground with holes, while yelling "Storm One" at the top of his lungs.
Without warning, a grenade came flying through the air, whistling sharply, and struck Belaukorn precisely in the chest!
Belaucon's roar abruptly stopped, its massive body stiffening abruptly for a full two seconds—it looked down at the spot in its chest where it had been struck, its eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
That familiar force, that familiar aura of attack... how could it be so similar?!
It opened its mouth, about to utter the words "Storm One," but before the sound could fully escape its lips...
boom!!!!
The deafening explosion sent flames soaring into the sky, and thick smoke obscured half the sky. The massive body of Belokorn was torn apart by the force of the explosion, and fragments flew everywhere. Before he could even let out a proper scream, he was completely reduced to ashes!
It exploded! It really exploded!
Everyone was stunned, their eyes fixed on the sky filled with fire and smoke. After they came to their senses, only one thought came to their minds—that shell was from a spherical howitzer!
This unique spherical grenade launcher is something that ordinary forces cannot possess. Could this be Storm One's move? Of course, Belokorn will not be defeated by this move! It is a missile super beast that was able to contend with Storm One back then. Its resilience far exceeds that of ordinary monsters. This injury is nothing to it.
but
It was excited! The astonishment in its eyes was instantly replaced by ecstasy. Its bloodshot eyes shone frighteningly, and all the resentment in its body seemed to be overwhelmed by this excitement. Even the pain of its wounds was thrown to the winds.
Sure enough! You're here! Storm One!!!
That familiar force, that unique spherical grenade launcher—no one but Storm One could wield it like that! It finally confirmed that the figure it hated to the core and longed for revenge was right here!
"Storm One!!! I know you're here!!! Come out!!!!" Belokorn roared again, its voice even more frantic and louder than before, shaking the heavens and earth. It waved its huge limbs and roared madly in the direction from which the grenade launcher was coming. Even though blood was still seeping from its chest, it didn't care at all. It only wanted to force out the figure hiding in the shadows and satisfy its obsession with revenge.
The onlookers were completely stunned—this super beast hadn't been killed by the explosion? And it even seemed more excited? Just how powerful was Storm One that it could make Belokorn do this?
Belaucon's roar abruptly ceased, its massive head snapping towards the direction from which the howitzer had come, its crimson eyes fixed intently ahead, oblivious to the bleeding wound in its chest—it had finally found it, found the figure that haunted its dreams and filled it with utter hatred.
Atop the ruins not far away, a tall figure stood silently, dressed in a red and white combat uniform, sharp and eye-catching. A heavy helmet covered most of his face, but the most striking feature was the red scarf around his neck that fluttered in the wind, shining brightly amidst the swirling smoke.
That's the figure! That's the outfit! That's the scarf!
Belaucon trembled violently, his eyes surging with extreme hatred and excitement, and a low, frenzied growl came from his throat, as if he was about to pounce on that figure and tear it to pieces at any moment—this was the Storm One he had been searching for so long, the opponent who had defeated and humiliated him!
Behind a concealed bunker not far away, Asuka crossed her arms, glanced smugly at Mari beside her, and said with a tone full of boastfulness, "See that? That's the scarf I gave to Choi back then, and he's still wearing it after all these years."
"."
Mari rolled her eyes, looking at Asuka speechlessly. Her lips twitched, and she didn't say anything, but her eyes clearly said: Fine, you're awesome. Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about showing off.
She shook her head helplessly, her gaze returning to the figure atop the ruins—Tremor was indeed Storm One; no wonder Beraukorn was so frantic. But Asuka's inappropriate boasting was truly speechless. (End of Chapter)
