Chapter 1573 Counterattack against Diamondz -Part 18

Grade 3.

For some reason, Jin had cultivated back one of his grades again, allowing him to step into the realm of Grade 3. It does not feel like much considering he had accumulated more than 10 over grades in the past with all the consistent battling and enlightenment. However, this past week of struggling enabled Jin to break through this difficult period and gain a grade from it.

That was why he was so eager to try out his strength against the gorilla Mechanoid despite knowing that it might be possible for him to create a laughing stock for himself. Thus, Jin did not hold back when he demonstrated his strength and he was able to perform his Lazy Panda Swipe with much suspense from the 'audience."

The only difference was that his Pandas were not coming out as they should have. He missed the sounds of his Astral Panda silhouettes yawning right behind him when he demonstrated his abilities. But even though there were no Astral panda silhouettes, he could feel the lazy twinkling of stars emanating behind him. At the very least, the essence of his Astral Panda Style was still in motion within him, enabling him to portray his strength for the rest to watch.

However, like all good things, Lady Luck did not exactly smile upon them as another terrifying figure emerged into the scene. Unfortunately, it was not from the hole and instead, it came directly below the slammed gorilla Mechanoid, swallowing any debris, concrete, and metal foundations that were in its way and eradicating its ally into a meal for its own benefit. (Thankfully, Heli Cop managed to use its rotating rotor blades to get out of the situation and from the abyssal suction that was engulfing everything.)

There was Jin and the others could do as teeth gnawed onto the sentient gorilla Mechanoid, desperate to climb out of its jaws and yet proving its actions futile while the mouth of death bit it into oblivion. As it crawled out of seclusion, it revealed not one but three heads, all of which were interconnected and Jin realised that it was a Mechanoid with a T-Rex head. The other two heads were situated on its tail and right hand leaving the left empty so that it could assist with the munching.

"Tri-Rex? Lol." Jin said as he could not think of a name for such an abomination right now as he knew that there was no way they could defeat this on their own. The gorilla Mechanoid was already pushing it when all Jin could do was punch it to the ground. There was no reason to underestimate its endurance and Jin was merely putting up a show to portray his powers in order to boost the morale of those that were involved in this disastrous situation.

But as the morale went up, this appearance of 'Tri-Rex' had caused all hopes to be dashed. The police were calling out for even more backup and suggested the military as well to be roped in as Tri-Rex roared to demonstrate its prowess. If people said three heads were better than one, they were not entirely wrong in this situation as Jin felt that he had to show another power of the Cardinals. It was a pity that he could only use those powers once a day but the limitation was not without reason.

When Jin used Suzaku's resurrection powers, he could feel his body burning up Suzaku's flames despite the fact that there was no visible burning involved. Yet, each time he summoned the cloned Mechanoids, he could feel his lifespan being lit up by Suzaku herself as if it was a mutual trade for her powers even though she guaranteed that such a side effect was not happening to him.

It was the same with the current development right now as Jin poured his strength to use Genbu's powers. The Memory of the Black Tortoise was the skill that had been bestowed on him, enabling him to recall and summon an item or ability he had used in the past. And when Jin clarified with the Cardinals, they said that even minions under him were also included as a 'memory item', which allowed him to call upon someone which he felt that it was right for the job.

And the right job right now was to defeat this Tri-Rex that did not show mercy and began culling the numbers of the Assault Squads that had been deployed. If the gorilla was tenacious in action, the Tri-Rex would be considered as ferocity turned real. Each T-Rex head was able to enlarge its jaws to five times their original size as Tri-Rex used it to annihilate its opponents.

What is cover? It merely circumvents the concept of cover by using its tail's head and extending its jaws to encompass the entire cover they were hiding behind before the teeth munched anything in its way. Most of the assault Mechanoids were able to move away in time upon sensing such extreme danger but there were a few who were a tad too slow to react, causing their legs or hands be caught within the clutches of death. Meanwhile, there was a group who decided to stay within the jaws and forced an enhanced explosion using concentrated explosives which they held tightly before rushing, in hopes that it will break the T-Rex Head into two.

It did stagger the T-Rex Head but they were taken aback by another issue.

Nanobots were fixing it posthaste, allowing the T-Rex Head to regenerate again and be in tip top condition. While it was true that the nanobots it had might be limited in quantity, Jin did not forget that Tri-Rex was the latest one to appear. That means it was in optimal condition when it emerged out for battle and the amount of preparation it had would definitely be enough for a protracted struggle.

"Then all the more I should not summon a minion, but an item instead," Jin said to himself as he steeled himself to use the Black Tortoise's ability. In his mind, he assumed that he had already gone through the worst after having the being healed painfully by his own self regeneration skill. But this skill activation itself was another beast to handle.
