So Adam Hammer gritted his teeth and said,
"Why say so much useless stuff?"
"I see your defensive state can't last much longer anyway, so you should focus on figuring out your own situation first!"
"This Metal Storm alone is more than enough for you to handle…"
"Whether you can force out my next move is still unknown!"
Lin Ran stroked his chin, feigning thought,
"Ah… is that so…"
"In that case, I can only truly let you experience a shiver from the depths of your soul!"
"Though I don't know if you, a tin can who has achieved pure mechanical ascension, still possess a soul…"
Saying this, Lin Ran furiously spun his Eternal Kaleidoscope and clasped his hands at his chest once more.
SHINRA! TENSHI!
The moment he deactivated his ethereal state, a world-shattering, massive Almighty Push erupted from Lin Ran's hands.
While its scale might not have been comparable to Super Almighty Push, its impact was by no means diminished.
Especially within this enclosed space sealed by a protective barrier, it was even more so.
This sudden Almighty Push directly shattered the existing situation, with the immense force generated from the eye of the storm repelling the Metal Storm, causing all those cyclones to vanish like bubbles.
In just a few breaths, the Metal Storm, which had been so majestic and arrogant, was gone in an instant.
And the metal fragments proliferated by Adam Hammer scattered down from the sky with a clatter, forming a beautiful meteor shower of shattered iron.
Sensing Lin Ran's dismissive smile after the formation was broken, and the emptiness left by the disappearance of the storm's control, Adam Hammer's rage was ignited once more.
"Are you proud of a temporary victory?"
"I truly don't understand what you're so arrogant about!"
Saying this, Adam Hammer re-established his connection with the metal fragments within his body, intending to stir up the storm once more.
But this thought had only formed in his mind for a second before it was shattered by another sudden change.
Because, to his horror, he found a colossus, like a god or demon, standing before him!
And the energy fluctuations emanating from this colossus instantly made him understand that relying solely on the Metal Storm, he would not be able to defeat Lin Ran.
He wouldn't even be able to scratch him!
Susanoo!
This azure ghost-god statue was naturally the ultimate dōjutsu of this Eternal Kaleidoscope…
Furthermore, with Lin Ran's increased strength and the evolution of his dōjutsu, the current Susanoo had clearly evolved to its fourth stage, maturity.
Not only were its lower body and legs clearly visible, but its volume had greatly increased, while its attack range had further expanded. The Tengu armor on its body had achieved near-full coverage, and its energy sword glowed brilliantly…
It was evident that Susanoo was just a step away from its final, complete form.
"It's that!"
"That day, it used its immense size and sturdiness to forcefully withstand the energy body of the Sea Demon Whale!"
From below the stage, some sharp-eyed individuals had already recognized the origin of this suddenly appearing colossus.
"That's right, and it seems the energy density is even more exaggerated than it was then…"
"Who could withstand a single slash from this thing?"
Some people were already involuntarily swallowing as they were filled with shock and awe.
"Although Adam Hammer is known for his infinite energy…"
"Under absolute quality crushing, even true infinite energy would likely have limited effect, wouldn't it?"
"The Metal Storm, which can shred most existing things, is probably just child's play before it!"
Some people were already beginning to worry about Adam Hammer's side.
"But looking at this skill, it's obvious the consumption is top-tier. Even someone with Lin Ran's incredible stamina should not be able to maintain it throughout."
"Otherwise, he would have used this move the very first moment."
"If Adam Hammer uses his Eternal Crystal to stall, I wonder how the fight would turn out…"
"It doesn't feel entirely unwinnable, but Lin Ran would still have a significant advantage."
More people were already starting to analyze the winning odds of both sides.
"Ah! What is that!"
"Why is Adam Hammer transforming too?! His size is also expanding ridiculously fast!"
"Holy crap! And he's absorbing the scattered metal fragments on the ground to reassemble himself…"
"Could it be that his initial use of the Metal Storm to sweep the battlefield was for this very purpose?"
The remaining spectators stared dumbfounded as Adam Hammer also began to develop in the direction of a giant robot, not knowing what to say.
"Now this match is truly going to be exciting, turning into a giant robot brawl…"
"Damn it, in this day and age, it's really hard to make a name for yourself without a giant robot blueprint!"
"Let's not even talk about this level of divine battle; after widespread promotion, this will probably become the norm soon!"
"By the time we reach an era where everyone has a giant robot, you won't even be able to greet people without one!"
The last group was on the verge of collapsing from the absurdity of the two combatants, beginning to babble incoherently.
…
Inside the arena.
Seeing Adam Hammer rapidly assembling and expanding, Lin Ran's mouth was practically splitting with a grin.
Good grief, Adam Hammer hadn't disappointed him at all. Provoked by his Susanoo, he had indeed activated his transformation plan ahead of time.
The core usage rate of the Eternal Crystal began to skyrocket with his transformation, directly reaching 95%!
Under these circumstances, if Lin Ran just applied a little more pressure, this guy would probably obediently fill up his energy core…
Having devised a strategy, Lin Ran didn't rush to take advantage of the situation. He stood there indifferently, watching Adam Hammer expand furiously.
It had to be said, with the powerful aggregation of metal fragments swirling around, Adam Hammer's assembly speed was quite fast.
In less than half a minute, this giant mecha, which was not smaller than Susanoo, and was even slightly larger, had been assembled before Lin Ran.
And unlike the gentle blue light that had been felt before, the gaps of this giant mecha now flashed with a fierce, brutal red light!
