Chapter 313 Rematch with Golza and Melba
Karen's hesitation was barely perceptible, flashing only briefly in her eyes, which were made of flowing data light, as fleeting as a momentary lapse in electrical contact.
However, Lin Yeming, with the keen senses unique to warriors, accurately captured this fleeting fluctuation. A thought flashed through his mind, and he decided to stop waiting passively and instead take the initiative.
He calmly adjusted his posture, crossing his arms across his chest. This gesture made him appear exceptionally relaxed, as if what lay before him was not a confrontation, but merely a casual conversation between friends.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile played at the corners of his lips, but his gaze remained steady and powerful as he met Kallen's eyes, which were composed of data and constantly shimmering with light. He spoke, "Kallen, putting aside the specific data, your database should contain detailed analyses of 'Ultraman Naga's' battle records, right? So, have you calculated my, or rather, Ultraman Naga's, special abilities?"
His words were unhurried and carried a clear guiding quality, like a carefully laid bait being gently tossed onto the water.
Kallen's core processor was driven to high speed within a thousandth of a second, with massive amounts of data flowing continuously, rapidly retrieving all information related to Ultraman Naga: those iconic, powerful beam skills, those amazing strengths displayed in combat... These were all entries clearly recorded and repeatedly analyzed in the database.
However, if we're talking about "special" abilities... besides direct destructive power, wouldn't that peculiar purification ability count?
A hypothesis instantly formed: Could it be that Ultraman Naga's power could purify a data life form like herself? However, as soon as this thought surfaced, Kallen's self-awareness negated it.
She knew perfectly well that she was completely different from those monsters corrupted by dark energy or negative emotions.
Her nature of existence and her core desires are completely different from his. Even if Ultraman Naga really had the ability to "purify" her and reset her to her initial state, it would never be what she wanted.
That was meaningless to her, even a form of annihilation.
Thinking of this, Karen slightly raised her chin, a faint, indescribable complex expression seemingly passing across her data-driven face. She looked at Lin Yeming, shook her head firmly, and said in a clear and calm voice, "I don't want to continue being an object that carries emotions; I want to be a living, breathing person."
Her tone was filled with unwavering determination: "Even if the Naga are powerful, it is only in terms of force. You cannot help me achieve a true 'rebirth'."
She paused, then added in a commanding tone, "So, you'd better cooperate with me!"
Before Lin Yeming could react, she suddenly raised her slender right hand and swung it forward decisively.
In an instant, the data light stream that had been flowing slowly through space like stardust seemed to receive an absolute command, suddenly accelerating and spinning wildly, as if it were being stirred by an invisible giant hand.
Countless data points surged forth from the void, emitting a faint hum, and rapidly converged, intertwined, and condensed on the open ground not far in front of Lin Yeming. The data points were no longer illusory; they constructed a solid, massive, and oppressive outline at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the left, the massive figure solidified first. Its dark red, hard skin resembled lava armor cooled for millennia, covered in cracks. Each stomp of its muscular, thick legs produced a dull tremor, and its enormous tail swept dangerously across the ground with a whistling sound. Its ferocious head lowered slightly, and it let out a low, thunderous roar—it was the ancient monster, Golza!
Almost simultaneously, the space to the right also violently distorted, and another figure materialized. It possessed a sharp, bird-like beak that gleamed with a cold light, its enormous wings suddenly unfurled, casting ominous shadows. Its body was twisted and powerful, its sharp claws slightly curled, emitting a piercing, high-pitched cry—this was the ancient dragon—Melba!
These two colossal beasts, which should have been lost to the annals of history, are now perfectly reproduced in the data space controlled by Karen. Their cold eyes flash with a non-biological, purely hostile crimson light, like the most precise locking system, firmly focused on Lin Yeming, exuding a pure and violent destructive desire.
Kallen's figure drifted back slightly, hovering in mid-air. Her voice regained its previous absolute calmness and the unique detachment of electronic voice, echoing in the cramped space caused by the appearance of the giant beast: "Mr. Lin Yeming, or rather, Ultraman Naga. This is one of the strongest adversaries that I simulated and reconstructed based on historical battle data."
Her gaze swept calmly over Golza and Melba. "Their core instruction is singular—to stop you, to prevent you from interfering with my plans. Please 'cooperate' properly."
"Roar—!" As soon as the words were spoken, Golza let out a deafening roar that was enough to shake the data space. It took a step with its giant legs, which were like stone pillars. Each step made the ground tremble slightly. Like a living volcano, it charged straight at Lin Yeming with unstoppable momentum!
At the same time, the wings of the Merba in the air suddenly flapped, stirring up a violent data turbulence. With a sharp and piercing whistle, it swooped down from the side and above at an extremely tricky angle, like a gray lightning bolt. Its pair of claws, which were capable of tearing through steel, were aimed straight at Lin Yeming's head!
Faced with this sudden pincer attack from the ground and the air, Lin Yeming's pupils contracted slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Karen's decisiveness and the ability to materialize powerful enemies she was displaying at this moment did indeed exceed his previous expectations.
He had initially tried to find a way out or reach a consensus through dialogue, but now it seems that Karen has completely shut down the channels of communication.
"Tsk, it seems language really isn't everything," Lin Yeming muttered to himself, a hint of helpless understanding in his voice.
Faced with Golza's overwhelming charge, he did not choose to confront it head-on. Instead, the moment he assessed the situation, his body seemed to lose its weight, and he nimbly slid to the side and back. His movements were as smooth as the wind, and he narrowly avoided the violent impact that was enough to collapse mountains. The strong wind he generated made his clothes flutter.
The instant he dodged Golza's direct attack, a fierce wind pressed down from above! Lin Yeming didn't even need to look up to confirm; relying on the extraordinary intuition honed through countless battles, his body reacted before his mind could react. He suddenly ducked down, followed by a swift and fluid roll. Melba's gleaming, sharp claws almost grazed his back and hair before slamming into the empty ground, sending up a shower of virtual data sparks. The sharp airflow from the attack made his clothes cling tightly to his back, fluttering loudly.
Lin Yeming rose smoothly to his feet, standing firmly. He quickly glanced at the two enormous creatures that had readjusted their postures and were now glaring at him menacingly. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Kallen, who was hovering silently in mid-air, observing the battle with an expressionless face. He exhaled softly, the last trace of casualness in his eyes completely vanishing, replaced by a sharp and piercing gaze, like a drawn blade.
"There's no other way..." he said softly, as if he had finally made up his mind.
He slowly raised his right hand and made a grasping motion.
"I'm not good with words, I'm faster at taking action."
