Chapter 223: Righteous "Gudako!"
Chapter 223: Righteous "Gudako!"
The narrative focus of the story, as well as the live broadcast footage of the race, all centered on Sphinx's intact face. However, the severely damaged posterior area was not captured by any imaging devices.
The reason was simple: the amusement park was teeming with young children. If the scene of Sphinx's injured posterior were seen by innocent and ignorant children, it would scar them for life. A seemingly harmless image could haunt them for years to come. Not only children, even adults, elderly people, and the oldest of the old would be traumatized by such a sight, probably leading to nightmares of swimming.
At least, many viewers who were watching the screen had involuntarily covered their buttocks with their hands. How could a perfectly fine race suddenly make them feel pain?
"Dung~!"
With a chime of the prompt, a line of text appeared right in the center of the sky on the screen.
'Note: No innocent Sphinx was harmed in the making of this scene.'
Back in the desert race venue, Sphinx, now charred from the waist down, had fallen from the sky. If viewed from the posterior side, one could see a fully bloomed chrysanthemum.
"Boom!"
The massive body crashed onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. However, compared to the dust raised earlier when it relentlessly punched at the Cat-Mouse-Dog Mech and struck the ground each time, this dust was more like a light mist.
On the ground, Sphinx slowly rose to its feet. Clutching its posterior and using a distorted, hoarse voice due to the pain, it angrily shouted, "You are... despicable!"
Bai Song operated the Cat-Mouse-Dog Mech while picking his nose and casually remarked, "Isn't it within the rules to ambush in a competition?"
Even though his mech didn't have a nose as an organ, the meaning behind his words was clear.
Come on, who's more despicable here? You blatantly violated the concept of a "Seaside Paradise" tournament by bringing us into the desert. Seriously, do you think Earth is your personal amusement park? It's not just "Seaside Paradise," it's "EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise" tournament. The "Seaside" part is important.
In comparison to the misleading nature of this title, Bai Song didn't think his actions were that despicable. Well, at least not as despicable as this park and Gudako. Well... probably not as despicable.
After uttering his previous statement, Bai Song placed the rocket launcher back on his right shoulder and simultaneously removed the rocket nest from his left shoulder, which was loaded with a total of 24 Noble Phantasms. He aimed the muzzle at Sphinx, who was attempting to rise from the ground.
Bai Song's intention was to completely incapacitate Sphinx, preventing it from chasing him again. After all, it was a mythical creature from Egyptian mythology. Merely blowing up its posterior might not be enough; it could still crawl towards him on its front limbs, showing off its backside.
Just the thought of Sphinx chasing him upside down while flaunting its posterior to the sky gave Bai Song shivers. Moreover, Sphinx had a pair of wings, even though its size might make flying a challenge. But what if it managed to lift off?
Thus, it was necessary to finish the job properly. Once this strike was completed, Bai Song would have to hit the road again. Delayed by Sphinx, he couldn't help but worry that he had fallen significantly behind the other racers. If he didn't continue the race soon, he might end up as the last to finish.
Gudako, who was not far behind Bai Song, realized that if she didn't intervene, Sphinx would be defeated in an instant. So, she promptly interjected, "Yamete, Schrdinger!"
This exclamation nearly gave Bai Song a heart attack, and he almost pressed the trigger. Thankfully, he managed to regain control of his finger before it was too late, and he breathed a sigh of relief upon confirming he hadn't fired.
The control of this blasted rocket nest was quite peculiar. A light press would fire a single shot, but a long press would unleash a continuous barrage of 24 shots, like a rapid fire. If Bai Song had accidentally fired all 24 Noble Phantasms, he would have nothing left to shoot.
"Never mind, nothing to worry about!" Bai Song looked back to see Gudako, who had been smacked by Sphinx just moments ago, shouting. A few black lines couldn't help but appear on his forehead at her words.
Defending an invaderGudako must have some kind of major illness, otherwise how could she possibly help the enemy to set a trap against herself? What was that illness called again? If Bai Song remembered correctly, it was called Stockholm Syndrome, right? That was the only explanation for her to assist the enemy.
Recalling the powerful punch Sphinx had just landed on her horse body, Bai Song wondered how she could stay composed. Could she really remain calm after taking such a hit?
Feeling the intense gaze from the cat-dog-mouse mecha, Gudako quickly mustered her courage and bowed several times to Bai Song, "Mwu... Private Horse Race!!!"
She had to stand her ground; if Schrdinger aimed at her backside, she might be done for. After all, this fiendish Schrdinger was capable of pulling off such tricks!
"A golden opportunity!" Just as Bai Song was controlling the cat-dog-mouse mecha to turn around, Sphinx, who had just risen from the ground, saw a chance. Ignoring its own pain, it opened its mouth decisively.
The mask split open like a cracked porcelain mask, revealing a human-like mouth. Along with the movement of its mouth, a faint blue sphere appeared within, and the ambient spiritual particles began to gather towards it.
The gathering speed was remarkably fast. From the appearance and effects, it resembled charging up a Kamehameha wave. The magical energy condensed as Sphinx locked its gaze onto the backside of the cat-dog-mouse mecha piloted by Bai Song. It intended to give him a taste of his own medicine!
The best way to counter a mortal enemy was to use the same attack, aiming at the same spot, so that the perpetratorBai Songwould also feel the pain!
Just as Bai Song finished shouting to Gudako, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. This sensation was like being targeted by someone with inappropriate intentions.
