Chapter 400: He immediately switched sides; his first wife is a Scorpio!
Scorpio has an octopus-like shape, is extremely large, and is covered with red eyeballs.
During the operation, a large amount of sea fog accompanied the sound of a giant whale's roar, which emanated from an opening in its head that was neither a mouth nor a breathing port.
The sound grew louder as it approached, and before it reached the land, people on the coast could see a huge figure appearing and disappearing in the sea fog.
"Is that Scorpio?"
Hiruko Kohina beheaded a policeman, then, gazing at the giant object appearing on the distant horizon, turned to ask her father a question.
"Yes, that's Scorpio. The moment of mass extinction has arrived!"
Hiruko Kagetane raised his hand and thrust forward, his fingers piercing through Ikuma Shōken's throat.
The idiot, all brawn and no brain, covered his neck and took two steps back.
He knelt down, stopped breathing, and died.
"It's over, the Tokyo area is finished."
The fighting has ceased in the old port area.
The sea breeze blowing against your face and the surging waves crashing against the embankment seem to be carrying you into the cold, dark depths of the sea, making you feel lonely and desperate.
Compared to the powerful Hiruko Kagetane, the approaching behemoth of Scorpio was far more despairing.
It was like a giant monster that had escaped from a tokusatsu drama, appearing in a world without Ultraman.
"Missile, launch!"
The Self-Defense Force Navy launched an interception-style offensive, firing missiles and torpedoes from its ships.
"Bang bang bang~"
However, compared to Scorpio's enormous size, the warship, which looks like a toy boat, can cause very limited damage to Scorpio.
The chromium loaded on the missile warhead, which inhibits the regeneration ability of gastrulation, has a very limited effect in preventing regeneration in the face of such a huge creature.
Often, as soon as a missile creates a breach, the breach heals itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The writhing flesh pushed out the chromium metal that had sunk into the body, while the forked tentacles attached to the main body swung towards the warship.
Not long after the battle began, some cruisers were sunk by Scorpio's dancing tentacles, turning into burning wreckage on the sea surface and being submerged by the rolling seawater.
. . . .
"How's it going on the Heavenly Ladder?"
In the command room of the shelter, Tendo Kisara inquires about the situation of the Self-Defense Forces Army.
"They have reached the Heavenly Ladder."
Someone reported it.
Is the Heavenly Ladder still functioning?
"It can operate."
"That's great, we still have hope."
"But there were no bullets with metallic flint."
"Um?"
"When we retreated back then, most of the items containing chromium were taken along with us."
Tendo Kisara's expression was somewhat frantic.
"Such important information, and you're only revealing it now?"
"I only found out now after I went there for a checkup."
Ten years ago, the human front here collapsed very quickly, and there was a hasty evacuation. Therefore, there are many things that are not recorded by official institutions.
The ultimate weapon, the Heavenly Ladder, has never been used since it was created, and no one has bothered to maintain it for the past ten years.
So now, there's no way to cram at the last minute.
"Wait, is it still possible to transport the chromium ammunition there in time?"
Tendo Kiseki looked at the representatives of Sima Heavy Industries present.
"The company does have some things that can be used as ammunition for the electromagnetic railgun, but even if we transport them there by helicopter now, it will take more than ten minutes. At the speed of the Scorpio, it is estimated that it will be able to dock in three minutes and enter the city in seven minutes."
Sima Miori did answer the question posed by her mortal enemy, Tendou Kisara.
"Then let the navy hold out for a while longer."
The Holy Emperor's Way.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with my head?!"
Upon receiving orders from above, the naval captain of the flagship looked at the Scorpio, which was still moving freely despite being bombarded by a large number of missiles, and wanted to curse at the person on the other end of the communication line.
But in the end, the naval captain was prepared to carry out this deadly mission. He decided to send a naval detachment as bait to attract Scorpio's attention.
While naval warships can't cause any real harm to Scorpios, they can act like buzzing flies, drawing their attention.
. . . .
"Broly, the Self-Defense Forces are out of options, use your energy blasts!"
Rentaro Satomi used his prosthetic eye to observe the battle situation on the sea and found that the battle was basically on the verge of collapse, with the Self-Defense Force Navy completely helpless against Scorpio. He then urged the Saiyan boy next to him to hurry up.
Broly, upon seeing Scorpio, was somewhat taken aback by the Crystal Palace's indication that they had discovered a new target.
When he inquired at Crystal Palace and received a rather rigid and definite answer—that she was a woman, had figurines, and that was indeed the person he was trying to woo—he instinctively wanted to help Scorpio.
But before he could even begin, Broly realized that the new target he was trying to win over didn't seem to need his help at all.
"I'm sorry, Satomi, I probably can't be of help this time."
Upon hearing Rentaro Satomi's words, Broly apologized.
"Ah, why? Don't you have any other ideas either?"
Rentaro Satomi suddenly turned around and looked at him with some confusion.
"That's true..."
Broly originally wanted to say "wife," but with so many potential partners discovered in this world, and none of them agreeing to become his wife yet, he became a little insecure and changed his words to "potential partners."
"And I would never make a move on a potential wife."
To be honest, unless it was a situation where two targets were fighting each other, the current situation of Scorpio unilaterally annihilating the human navy did not give Broly any idea to take action.
"Wow, your tastes are so broad, you even like Scorpios?"
Rentaro Satomi couldn't help but blurt out his complaint, and the two girls next to him stared at him with wide eyes.
"I don't have any special XP, but as long as it's a target that Crystal Palace approves of, then I'll accept it."
Broly doesn't actually have any particular liking or dislike for strangers or unfamiliar creatures.
However, those who are recognized by Crystal Palace will receive a natural boost in his favorability.
"But a Scorpio might not agree to be your wife, right?"
Rentaro Satomi was a little overwhelmed, but then a brilliant idea struck him, and he said...
Broly: "..."
Indeed, meeting someone you're interested in doesn't mean they'll necessarily agree to become your wife.
The world has already given him seven disappointments, so Broly wouldn't be particularly surprised if he experienced an eighth.
"So, if Scorpio also refuses to become your wife, are you willing to help out?"
"If it's just about driving them away..."
Broly's answer was obvious: even if Scorpio didn't agree, he wouldn't kill him.
"Driving them away is also an option."
Rentaro Satomi nodded.
Broly takes off.
The boy and two girls watched as the Saiyan boy flew towards the constellation Scorpio.
The artillery fire roared, but was suddenly stopped by a rising energy barrier.
"What happened? How was the missile intercepted? Did Scorpio use some new technique?"
The warship's detection cameras focused on Broly, who was hovering above Scorpio, and he was quickly spotted.
"Wait, why is there a child flying in the sky?"
. . . .
"Ah, Broly?!"
Inside the shelter, the Holy Emperor and others in the command center stared wide-eyed.
"Miss Kisara, what's going on here?"
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
The young holy emperor asked the girl with long, straight black hair.
"It seems that the barrier was his, not something Scorpio created."
Sima Weizhi quickly discovered, through the fact that the missile explosion was prevented, that the center of the energy barrier was the boy, not Scorpio.
"Um, let me make a phone call first."
Kisara Tendo didn't know what was going on either. Her impression of Broly was that he was a very strong but mysterious boy. Although she knew that he could capture Gastrea alive, she only found out tonight that he could capture Stage 4 alive.
The warships ceased their pointless bombardment and moved away from Scorpio and the Saiyans. Kisara Tendo took out his phone and dialed the number of Rentaro Satomi, who might know more about Broly.
"Hey, Rentaro, can Broly fly? And he even flew up to the top of Scorpio's head?"
"Kisara-nee, you found out?"
"I'm watching the footage from the front lines right now. What's the situation with that child?"
"Uh, he's a Saiyan from another world who came to this world to find a wife, and Scorpio happens to be one of the wives he's looking for..."
Rentaro Satomi didn't hide anything, while Kisara Tendo's phone was on the table with the speakerphone on.
Therefore, what he said at that moment was heard clearly by everyone in the command room.
If someone introduces a child like this out of the blue, no one would believe it.
But now, the boy is floating on the holographic projection screen, using strange powers to stop the warship's missile attack.
This makes one believe in the origins of the Saiyan boy.
But why did he choose a Scorpio as his wife?
What kind of abstract criteria are these for choosing a partner?
Oh, no, that's not right either. The boy also asked her (or them) to be his wife, but she (or them) rejected him.
"Don't worry, Broly has failed to find a wife many times already. Once Scorpio rejects him too, he'll help drive Scorpio away."
Although Rentaro Satomi knew it wasn't a good idea to bring up Broly's failed attempt to find a wife, he said it anyway to put Tendogi's mind at ease.
"Does he have the ability to drive away Scorpio?"
At this moment, Kikunojo Tendo asked the question.
"Can you see this forest to my north, near the giant monument?"
"I can see it, so what?"
In the command center, someone quickly pulled up the aerial images taken by the satellite.
"That suddenly appearing clearing was created by Broly in a split second."
Rentaro Satomi held his phone, gazing back at the road he had come from.
Although the trees obscured his view, he was confident in the terrifying scene Broly had created, believing it would surely instill confidence in the person on the other end of the microphone.
The people in the command center stared at the satellite images in silence, but they were indeed confident. Based on the empty forest areas shown in the satellite imagery, someone had already calculated the amount of explosives needed to create that scene.
"Excluding the damage from nuclear radiation, if we only consider the destructive power to matter, even a high-yield nuclear warhead could only cause that level of destruction."
Nuclear warheads are not effective against stage 5 gastrulation, but that does not mean that humanoid individuals who can easily produce nuclear warheads are ineffective.
Just as the Emperor and others in the command room were breathing a sigh of relief, Broly flew back to Rentaro Satomi's side.
"I'm sorry, Satomi, Scorpio has already agreed to be my wife, and I'm on her side now."
"ah?!"
"Now, whoever opposes her is my enemy!"
After saying this, Broly flew back.
"No, Broly, are you serious?"
Rentaro Satomi asked the question, but Broly could no longer hear it. However, the answer to the question came after the boy watched him fly back to Scorpio and sit directly on Scorpio's big head, and Scorpio showed no intention of attacking him.
But why?
The Saiyan boy's sudden switch was so outrageous that even Rentaro Satomi was a bit dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand why Broly failed repeatedly when trying to seduce rational human subjects, but succeeded immediately when trying to seduce irrational Gastrea subjects.
"Gastruls are called gastruls because they possess the intelligence level of animals. Humans might consider various factors to reject them, but gastruls will not."
Of course, not every Gastrea has this level of intelligence, but Scorpios with octopus genes should have some…”
If Sumire Muroto, an expert on gastrulation, were also in the command center, she would probably give this answer.
Scorpios are among the most intelligent of the Gastrea, and Broly's act of setting up a protective barrier for her earlier made her feel his kindness.
Of course, no matter how high their IQ is, they're still at the level of an octopus. Scorpios don't have human logic; they just instinctively let out a cry when the Saiyan asked them if they would be his wife.
The Crystal Palace is a rigid system, and its judgment on whether a target agrees to join the Crystal Palace is somewhat vague. Scorpio's mere chirp of gratitude is taken as agreement.
And so, things turned out this way.
The Tokyo area has gone from facing a single Scorpio to facing a combination of Scorpio and Saiyan.
Scorpio continued its journey toward the coastline, while Broly sat atop Scorpio's massive head, protecting the first creature in the world to agree to be his wife.
"Should we continue the attack or not?"
The naval commander-in-chief inquired about the situation from the rear.
"Of course we'll attack! Let's buy more time for the ladder!"
Kikunojo Tendo gave the order directly: once Scorpio appeared, his objective had already been achieved. Hiding in the shelter was the worst option; defeating Scorpio and protecting the Tokyo Safety Zone was the best outcome.
"Don't attack, or Broly will counterattack."
Rentaro Satomi also heard the voice on the other end of the phone, and he quickly said something.
But his words had no effect.
The warships fired their cannons again.
The next moment, a dozen energy beams from above Scorpio annihilated the attacking warships.
Unlike Scorpio's slow and deliberate tentacle counterattack, Broly's counterattack was quick and precise.
Without hesitation, they vaporized the steel warship and the naval soldiers on board.
"The Third Fleet... was completely wiped out."
The captain of the naval command ship reports the battle damage with difficulty.
But he didn't need to report it, because everyone in the command room had seen it.
