The legend of Tiga

A large number of vines and hyphae are intertwined into a bulb of 200 to 300 meters in size. They are intertwined like a tangled mess. It is impossible to find the beginning and the end, let alone sort out the clues. Most of them are exposed, and a small part is not in the soil. The surface is full of dense roots, swaying and waving in the air. The number of them is so dense that it makes people feel numb at a glance.

The three-part separate fighter, the Victory Condor, which TPC's scientists and technicians spent a lot of time and resources to develop and manufacture, was fused into a mass of colorful metal. Its layout was even more chaotic than that of the Hercules formed by the combination of several Diggers. If someone else came here, even if they had seen or even driven the Victory Condor, they would never recognize that this thing was transformed from the Victory Condor.

One is biotechnology, the other is science and technology. On this planet, a fierce battle between giants broke out without paying attention to anyone else.

One was trying desperately to strangle the other, while the other was trying desperately to break free from the other.

Even from such a long distance, Qianye Cheng could clearly hear a series of chaotic noises such as bang, snap, and creak. Some were vines breaking, some were metal being crushed, and some were...
Such intense close combat did not end with a Max cannon shot. Instead, it made the "symbiote" entangled more fiercely. This entanglement was more infatuated than a love-brain.

"It's regaining its activity," Qianye Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Look at its tentacles. They are more resilient than at the beginning, and the cell activity is increasing."

After Qianye Cheng's reminder, others also noticed that both the vines and the hyphae still looked dry on the surface, but they had stretched out a little compared to the beginning. After staring at them for a while, the wrinkles on the surface became smooth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This situation is very similar to the dried vegetables that have been thoroughly sun-dried. After absorbing water, not only does their volume increase, but their surface also becomes relatively smoother. Now the vines and mycelium are undergoing this process.

Of course, they won't absorb water and change their shape. The only factor is energy, the energy released by the new Max engine.

When the energy was first released, vines and hyphae rushed in one after another, and just now they were hit by a New Max cannon. Although the area facing the New Max cannon was destroyed, the tissue around the pierced cylinder survived, and it is likely that it absorbed a lot of energy, so it recovered a little.

"It seems that they still have a fight to make."

When Xincheng saw the new Max cannon, he thought that this fierce battle was about to end. However, he never expected that this 'cactus' was quite strong. It took a shot from the low-power new Max cannon, but not only did it not die, but it also absorbed a lot of energy, allowing itself to recover a lot, and it entangled and strangled its 'meal' even more vigorously, and was determined not to let go.

However, facing such a sticky symbiote, the Victory Condor, which was being synthesized, seemed somewhat helpless. Although the new Max cannon was good, it had one biggest flaw, which was that the "charging" time was too long.

Even the huge new Max power system used by the mobile fortress still has this problem, but the "charging" time is much shorter than that of the Atlas.

However, the Victory Condor's new Max engine is miniaturized. Although small size has many advantages, it also has many disadvantages. The biggest problem is that the charging speed is very slow and the output power is not high.

Even if it is assimilated by the Sphia Sphere, this shortcoming cannot be compensated, because the Sphia Sphere cannot invalidate the universal law of conservation of energy and must still abide by this basic universal law. This means that after the trump card is fired, there is basically no way to deal with the symbiote in a short period of time. After all, conventional weapons will be even more useless against an opponent that even the New Max Cannon can't deal with.

Sure enough, the symbiote, which had recovered a lot, became more and more energetic. After a short while, it wrapped the Victory Eagle thirty times to the left and thirty times to the right, tightly and airtightly, wrapping it into a cocoon and a ball.

"Uh"

This result was somewhat beyond Asuka Shin's expectations. He had been expecting a war that would shock the heavens and earth and make the gods weep, and both sides would perish together and suffer losses.
That's it?

The Sphia Sphere is just this?

This is what the Sphia Synthetic Beast is like???

Asuka Shin suddenly felt that the Sphia Sphere, which made people feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, didn't seem to be that scary. It was really a bit disappointing that it couldn't even deal with an artificial life form.

"It's not over yet."

The casual words on the forehead made the disappointed Asuka Xin suddenly widen his eyes, and stared intently at the small ball on the giant ball, with his eyes fixed on it. If there were two pounds of melon seeds, it would be more like watching a show.

Sure enough, in the gaps between the vines and hyphae that were still entwined and wriggling, strands of liquid as thin as silk threads oozed out and flowed downward along the vines and hyphae. The speed was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, and the metallic-like shiny liquid flowed onto the bulb of the symbiont.

Then the bulb reacted violently, wildly swinging its vines and tentacles stained with what looked like liquid metal, as if it was trying desperately to get rid of something terrible.

"It's not over yet." Asuka Shin suddenly became excited. It would be great if the show wasn't over yet.

Beat, keep beating, beat to death.

The harder you hit, the better; the more serious the injury, the better.

Peace and compassion are not for disgusting things like monsters.

When they brought death and fear to people, they never considered peace, nor did they sympathize with how cruel it would be to see those happy and beautiful families broken up.

It's a pity that the plot did not go in the direction that Asuka Shin expected. Instead of fighting more fiercely, these two ferocious creatures were heading towards a one-sided situation. And the one they were leaning towards was not the symbiote that had the upper hand since the beginning of the battle, but the Sphia Sphere that had been controlled from the beginning.

Those strands of unknown metallic liquid were so tiny that they were only a hair's breadth away from the vines and hyphae of the symbiont. After flowing downstream, they actually caused the symbiont to quickly lose its activity.

Any vines and hyphae that touched the metal liquid gradually stopped their crazy swinging in the violent tremors, and when it flowed to the surface of the bulbous symbiont, the vines and hyphae that were entangled with each other slowly opened up while wriggling, allowing the metal liquid to penetrate the bulb faster and better.

The clear feeling of being injected with unknown liquid but being unable to stop it drove the symbiote crazy. It was no longer just swinging around, but began to roll on the ground, trying to use its weight and size to crush this terrible guy to death, or at least to stop the other party's actions and buy itself some time to cut off the uncontrolled limbs.

To the symbiote, it was just a normal roll, but to the people on the ground, the rolling of this giant creature several hundred meters long was almost like a landslide. This was a terrifying situation. A distance of several hundred or even thousands of meters was very far for people, but to the symbiote, it was just a matter of rolling two or three times.

Therefore, when they saw the 'ball' that was so huge that they had to look up, and it began to turn and roll, Shinjo, Yumimura Ryo, and even Asuka Shin all changed their expressions, subconsciously slid backwards, and instinctively made a move to retreat.

"Should we move further away?"

Fortunately, they were all trained and not ordinary people. They were still rational and were not frightened to the point of running away. Instead, they knew to ask for the opinions of their "big boss". After all, this was the confidence that allowed them to stand here and watch the battle between the giants.

"It shouldn't be necessary. The winner has already been decided."

As Chiba Makoto spoke, he reached his hands inside her clothes, and it was obvious what he was going to do.

And indeed it was. The bulb had just begun to roll, but then stopped, because the vines and tentacles on the top untangled themselves while wriggling, opening their doors to welcome streams of silver liquid to be injected. The symbiote completed another symbiosis, the assimilation of the Sphia sphere, while trembling violently.

Yes, assimilation.

The Victory Eagle has been completely assimilated by the Sphia Sphere. Every grain of metal has taken on the shape of the Sphia Sphere and has become an accomplice of the Sphia Sphere, infiltrating the symbiote together and assimilating the symbiote together.

Enter the cells of the symbiont, control the cell nucleus of the symbiont, transform the cells of the symbiont into Sphia cells, and then assimilate other symbiont cells together.

One person told one, two told four, four told eight
It's like a chain reaction, like a virus spreading!
In a short while, the entire symbiont was dyed with strands of silver, all the rhizomes and hyphae stopped swaying, and the huge rhizomes of the symbiont stopped rolling and stood still.

The battlefield, which was as fierce as the roar of drums and the roar of thunder just now, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It was so quiet that Shinjo and Yumimura Ryo held their breath, not daring to breathe, as if any loud noise might alarm something big.

Such a quiet environment made Asuka Xin very uncomfortable. He moved his shoulders and clenched his fists. Finally, he couldn't help but lean towards Qianye Cheng and asked in a low voice: "Well, what should we do next? How about a sneak attack now?"

"That's not necessary," Qianye Cheng shook his head and said meaningfully, "Most of the Sphia synthetic beasts, or monsters, cannot be dealt with by sneak attacks. What's more important is observation and probing. Probing the opponent's actions and observing the opponent's weaknesses, and finally delivering a fatal blow to win the battle in one fell swoop."

Sneak attacks are very useful, but not all battles can be resolved by sneak attacks. You should not get used to sneak attacks, and you should not rely on them.

Although victory in battle requires surprise attack, "surprise" is not the same as sneak attack. More often than not, victory must be won in a fair and decisive battle.

Asuka Shin has just embarked on the path of Ultraman, and he must not go astray. If he wants to turn back later, he will have to pay a heavy price.

While Qianye Cheng was "reasoning", the huge bulb also moved. With a "click!" sound, a crack appeared on the surface, quickly spreading up and down, splitting the huge root into two, opening up from the middle like a colorful ball, and quickly shrinking backwards, revealing a relatively small humanoid inside.

It is indeed very short. Compared with the bulb that is hundreds of meters high, the thing that emerged from it is less than a hundred meters high, probably only seventy or eighty meters high, which is only one-fifth or one-sixth of the bulb. It is simply like a little quail hatching from an ostrich egg.

However, after opening, the huge 'eggshell' shrunk to its back and, as if highly compressed, shrank several times from several hundred meters in size in the blink of an eye to a wing-like protrusion no more than a hundred meters wide.

The core object was not very normal either. It was covered with spike-like protrusions all over its body, making it look like a hedgehog, except for its chest and abdomen which were relatively flat. However, they were covered with mushroom-like spores, and the gaps were filled with pale hyphae, which were randomly entangled and piled up, like a rotten swamp in the forest.

The lower body is not the common "legs" of humanoid monsters, but a mixture of old tree roots formed by a large number of vines and hyphae. It seems to be deeply rooted in the soil, and is most likely connected to vines and hyphae in other parts of the planet. It is obvious that the Sphia sphere is not satisfied with assimilating the core, and is still advancing in other directions along the roots, wanting to turn all the vines and hyphae of this planet into "it".

only.
"You said it has already taken root, so what is the need for the wings?"

Chiba Makoto was very confused and shocked.

You have become a plant, why do you still keep a pair of huge wings behind you? Do you want to fly to the sky?

Relying on these wings, can you fly yourself, your roots, and even the planet together?
Since you don’t know, just give it a try.

"You guys better run farther away." Qianye Cheng left a word and strode forward.

clatter! clatter! clatter!
The soles of his feet stepped on the soft soil and rotten branches and leaves, making a rhythmic and regular sound of footsteps, and he ran towards the Sfia synthetic beast in front of him that was finishing its transformation.

Xincheng looked at Chiba Makoto who was rushing towards the monster, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's go, let's retreat a little further."

"Why don't we spread out a bit? Maybe we can do something at a critical moment." Asuka Shin interrupted, causing Xincheng to pause. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, spread out a bit. If anything is needed, we can attack from multiple directions."

"understand!"

Yumimura Ryo understood the subtext, which was not to gather together in order to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.

After all, if you participate in the battle between monsters and Ultraman, you really have to be prepared to lose your life. Any random stone can kill them in seconds, not to mention the terrifyingly powerful attacks of monsters.

After reaching a consensus, the three of them immediately ran in different directions at an angle of 120 degrees. Behind them, the huge Sphia synthetic beast had completed the final dyeing. The silver metal liquid spread, dyeing most of the monster's body into a metallic texture. It looked very solid. It had evolved from old bark to hard metal, and its defense power had increased by several levels. (End of this chapter)
