The legend of Tiga

"New Max power system, starting in five seconds!"

Following Yumimura Ryo's words, the people around him quickly put down their goggles. Yumimura Ryo pulled down his goggles with his left hand, and held a detonator-like device in his right hand.

A thin wire as thick as a chopstick extends from the front end of this power strip-sized device. After more than a hundred meters, it is connected to a device about the size of a TV placed on the ground. This device is also connected to the New Max engine next to it with the outer cover removed, via dozens of cables of varying thicknesses and pipes of various colors and types.

At first glance, it looks so densely packed and complicated that it makes the viewer dizzy and overwhelmed. Without some effort, it is impossible to figure out the direction of these pipes.

This was a makeshift igniter that they had made after spending two or three hours using the flight manual, maintenance guide and other information. It was the Max version of a 'spark plug' and was used to force-start the Max power system.

This is just like what was done in the Mechanical Island incident, turning on the Max power system, generating huge energy and triggering specific mechanisms.

The instinct of living things is to survive, and survival requires hunting. When they are extremely hungry and thirsty, if they suddenly smell an enticing fragrance, they will inevitably pounce on it impatiently. Even if they will carefully circle around a few times, they will eventually be unable to resist hunger.

The Victory Condor's new Max engine spewed out a beam of colorful light, and all the trees behind were smashed to pieces in an instant. Even the dirt and rocks on the ground were melted away by this violent energy to form a hundred-meter-long groove, which shows the enormous amount of energy generated.

The artificial life forms created by the aliens did not seem to have the ability to be "alert and cautious". As soon as the Victory Condor's new Max engine was started, the forest, which had been deadly quiet since they arrived on this planet, became restless.

There were rustling sounds everywhere, so many and so loud that when they came together, they drowned out the noise made by the new Max engine when it was started. It was obvious how many things in the forest were moving. It was no exaggeration to say that it felt as if the entire forest had been awakened, and all the animals were rushing towards here.

"This noise is a bit exaggerated." Asuka Xin felt very bad after listening to the noise. The ground beneath his feet was shaking clearly. He thought there might be some noise, but he didn't expect it to be so big. It was almost like an earthquake.

Without waiting for others to respond, the ground near the Victory Eagle suddenly bulged up, and then the bulges broke apart, and pale vines sprang out from them, carrying a large amount of soil and throwing it into the sky like a fountain.

Soon after, long and thin hyphae rushed out from the forest, crawling very quickly on the ground. The towering trees blocking their way were instantly knocked down. After falling down, they were immediately smashed to pieces. There was a constant sound of crackling, crackling, making it feel like these trees were made of paper, otherwise why would they be smashed to pieces by the tiny hyphae?

Not only the hyphae crawling on the ground, but also the vines coming out from the ground, are all rushing towards the colorful beams. Even if they are annihilated by the high temperature and high energy the moment they come into contact with the colorful beams, they still continue to rush forward, and there is no fear at all. This situation is really like a moth flying into a flame.

It looked like two torrents, rushing forward with overwhelming force, and then being swallowed by a gluttonous mouth. No matter how many rushed forward, they would disappear in an instant.

"This"

Xin Cheng stared at this unimaginable scene with his mouth open in amazement. After a while, he said, "Are they all going to be solved?"

"It should be... about the same." Yumimura Ryo subconsciously wanted to deny it, but the scene before her made her doubt. If it continued like this, they probably wouldn't have to do anything. The energy ejected by the New Max engine alone would be enough to deal with the vines and mycelium.

"Isn't this great? We can win without fighting." Asuka Shin still looked heartless, but at least he thought about it and made an emergency turn in his words.

But as soon as Feiniao Xin finished his words, the ground beneath the Victory Eagle suddenly collapsed, causing the Victory Eagle lying on the ground to suddenly lose its support point and fall downwards. Before everyone could exclaim in surprise, the tilted Victory Eagle stopped falling and even rose up.

Looking closely, I found that the surface of the Victory Eagle was entangled with dozens of vines and hyphae, which bound the Victory Eagle tightly like a net. Then more and thicker vines rose from the ground along with the Victory Eagle. First, they were as thick as an arm, then as thick as a bucket, then as thick as one person's arms, and finally as thick as three people's arms.
The number has also doubled, hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands?
They are so densely packed that they cannot be counted. At first glance, they look like sand on the beach, so many that it makes one's scalp tingle. Just like the stitched monsters in that strange species, countless individuals are forcibly stitched together.

The Victory Eagle was lifted higher and higher, and the vines and hyphae that emerged from the ground became more numerous and thicker, and the collapsed ground became wider and wider, forcing Chiba Makoto and the others to retreat to avoid being caught in it.

"We seem to have caught something incredible." Asuka Xin looked back as he ran backwards. At first glance, it looked like a black ocean with countless wriggling creatures inside, making people feel very uncomfortable. If it were someone with a weaker tolerance, they would probably vomit on the spot.

"I think it should be the main body. It seems that it is too hungry. It rushed out without caring about anything after having a little food." Qianye Cheng was not very surprised. He just wanted to try whether he could get the main body out. It is meaningless to just destroy its branch vines. If you want to really solve the problem, you must start from the root.

I just didn't expect it to be so smooth. It had just started when the 'root' rushed out in a hurry. Could it be that
If you act too late, it will be gone?

A guess flashed through Qianye Cheng's mind, and his eyes immediately looked at the Victory Eagle wrapped in countless vines and tentacles.

These vines and roots originally belonged to two or even more different artificial life forms. Their creators set them up in a restrained relationship, attempting to rebuild the food chain and food web on this planet, thereby establishing a complete ecosystem.

Just from the entanglement of you in me and me in you, it is obvious that they have achieved symbiosis.

Being able to control the symbiosis must have definitely been beyond the expectations of the creators. It's a pity that they couldn't see it, but Chiba Makoto and his friends were fortunate enough to witness this scene which can be called a biological miracle.

The vines and hyphae are intertwined, and even the hyphae grow out of the vines, and the vines grow out of the hyphae. They blend with each other, yet are very different.

It feels like a road being repaired, with patches here and there.

From this we can see that their fusion and symbiosis are not natural, but are most likely forced, that is, a compromise for survival.

Now that there is energy, an incredible amount of energy, the vines and mycelium are like crazy, not caring about the violence and terror of the energy, they rush forward, even if they are destroyed in an instant, they will take the opportunity to take a bite.

It's time to fight for energy at all costs. It's obvious that this symbiote is almost at the end of its rope, if not the end of its rope.

In this situation of extreme thirst for energy, it will definitely not let go of any of it and will pack up the entire Victory Eagle. Is it afraid that someone will come and snatch it away?
Is it that the symbiotic relationship is not strong enough, and there is still competition, or is it that there are "outsiders"? If the symbiotic relationship is not strong enough, then this is their biggest weakness. After all, if a bowl has a crack, no matter how small, it can be broken apart by pouring hot water on it.

The Victory Eagle seemed to have become the boiling water, causing the symbiotes to start snatching energy, without considering that as a whole, anyone who ate it would benefit.

If there is no internal problem, then there must be an "outsider". Think about the Sphia sphere that fell from the sky before and turned Lomus No. 3 into a monster. Could it be that the Sphia spheres that came here at that time were not only those, but there were other Sphia spheres as well, and they possessed or hid in the Victory Eagle?

Chiba Makoto remembered that in the original work, the Sphia sphere hid in a spaceship. When the spaceship entered the mobile fortress, it suddenly attacked and snatched away the huge Max engine of the mobile fortress, thus giving birth to a terrible monster that beat Dyna and made it disappear.

Could it be that the Victory Eagle also has a Sphia Sphere hidden in it?

That will be a fun show to watch. This symbiote is extremely hungry for energy and will never let go of the Victory Eagle that can generate huge amounts of energy. Will the Sphia Sphere give up?

Thinking about it, I know it’s impossible.

The Sphia Sphere is extremely "arrogant". It claims that it wants to assimilate the entire universe and achieve the achievement of "I am the universe". How could it take a small symbiote seriously?

Even if I don't care at first, but you jump in front of me, I won't give it to you even if I throw it away.

It's like a drink bottle in your hand. It's of no use to you, but if a scavenger comes to snatch it, you'd rather throw it away than give it to him.

Sure enough, the vines and hyphae of this symbiotic organism were climbing and binding onto the Condor of Victory. The metal Condor of Victory actually began to wriggle like a mollusk. Its surface was changing rapidly, swelling like an inflating balloon, and actually propping up the vines and hyphae that were densely bound to it.

Such an obvious change was naturally seen by everyone. Asuka Shin was the first to shout out: "Look at the Victory Eagle."

"What happened?" Yumimura Ryo was extremely surprised. The change of the Victory Eagle was too amazing and too incredible. It was completely beyond her understanding.

"Could it be," Xin Cheng thought of his Lomus No. 3, and asked, "there is that Sphia?"

"I'm afraid so," Qianye Cheng asked everyone to retreat, saying, "Go a little further, and we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. If the fight ends in a loss for both sides, that would be great."

"."

This made a lot of sense and was very convincing. The people who had originally stopped immediately continued to run backwards.

As they moved away, the struggle between the symbiote and the Condor was still going on. One was trying hard to wrap itself around vines and hyphae, trying its best to control the Condor so that it could safely absorb energy and fill its stomach.

The other one was trying desperately to fight against the restraints, not caring about changing, and used all his energy in struggling, causing the originally slender Victory Eagle to turn into a big belly that was still swelling. It had broken dozens or even hundreds of vines and hyphae, but more vines and hyphae were entangled with it, and the speed of breaking could not keep up with the speed of entanglement. At this rate, it might not be able to open at all.

But the Victory Eagle has one advantage, and that is energy, abundant energy, and Max energy. Therefore, after its "belly" swells to a certain extent, it suddenly bursts, but it is not the kind of tearing, but a regular circle, like a cannon, spraying energy out in a targeted manner and hitting the body of the symbiote that is stuck together.

Silently, a large amount of matter was vaporized and annihilated at the molecular level, causing a huge hole to be melted in the part of the symbiote that was hit. As the energy continued to gush out, the hole continued to deepen.

It happened so quickly that in just a few breaths, the huge symbiote that was hundreds of meters in size was pierced diagonally with a big hole. The subsequent energy hit the ground, and immediately the soil surged and the dust rolled. The scene was so spectacular that it was comparable to a nuclear explosion.

"This"

This scene was so unexpected and shocking.

Yumimura Ryo never expected that the Victory Condor, which had been in service for so long, would have such great power. Isn't it like flying a nuclear bomb into the sky every day?

But Xincheng's eyes widened and he shouted, "Max Cannon?"

"Yes, Sfia used the new Max engine to create the Max cannon." Chiba Makoto nodded. With such power, it was indeed a Max cannon.

It seems that the Sphia Sphere also has a deep understanding of the Max power system, otherwise it would not be able to use the engine to create the Max cannon.

This once again proves that the Mechanical Island is correct. The Max power system is not unique to humans in the universe. Other civilizations also have it. And judging from how easily the Sphia Sphere can produce the Max cannon, this civilization has probably suffered at the hands of the Sphia Sphere.

However, the idea of ​​sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between the two tigers seems to have failed. The Sphia Sphere has already used the Max Cannon, and the symbiote is probably going to be killed.

It’s not that bad. Although both sides didn’t die, one problem was solved and we only have to face one.

But things are always beyond expectations. The symbiont that was pierced did not collapse, but instead it increased its strength to entangle the Victory Eagle. More vines and hyphae rushed over, beating it and even drilling into it. It was not dead, but became even more vigorous.

This vitality is so strong, it is worthy of being an artificial life form of the plant system, it is really tenacious. (End of this chapter)
