Chapter 81: Golden Perfected Form Runs Amok, Magnetic Storm Array Halts the Raging Tide

The appearance of the Golden Perfected Form was like a giant boulder smashing into a boiling battlefield, instantly extinguishing everyone's cheers.

It stood upon the shallows, its twenty-meter-tall frame blotting out the sun. Its dark gold scales shimmered with a cold luster under the sunlight, and the single horn atop its head gleamed coldly. The purple crystal core in its cranial cavity emitted heart-palpitating energy fluctuations. Surrounding Level Six Mutants prostrated themselves on the ground, letting out low growls of submission, clearly treating it as their king.

"Everyone, focus fire on the Golden Perfected Form!" Lin Zhou's roar pierced through the Walkie-Talkie with unquestionable authority. "phantom tanks, aim for its cranial crystal core! falcon fighter jets, dive at will! We must heavily damage it before it reaches the city walls!"

Twelve phantom tanks immediately adjusted their muzzles. Armor-piercing incendiary shells were loaded, and fire erupted from the barrels. Twelve shells trailed tails of flame, shooting toward the Golden Perfected Form's head like meteors.

However, just as the shells were about to hit, the Golden Perfected Form suddenly raised its giant claw, its broad palm acting like a shield in front of it. "Clang clang clang!" A series of ear-piercing metal clashing sounds rang out. The shells were actually deflected, exploding in deep pits on the beach. The splashing sand and stones failed to leave even a single scratch on its scales.

"What tough scales!" the Phantom Tank Captain gasped, unable to help but exclaim in shock.

The Falcon Fighter Jet Squadron in the sky also launched a charge. Twenty fighter jets dove down, pouring out sonic missiles like rain. The missiles exploded around the Golden Perfected Form, layers of pale purple energy waves impacting its body, but they only stirred up ripples, failing to hinder its pace in the slightest.

The Golden Perfected Form slowly stepped forward, each step making the beach tremble violently. It walked toward the city walls of Shuguang New City. In its crimson eyes, there was only that tiny figure atop the command vehicle—Lin Zhou.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar erupted from its mouth, invisible sound waves spreading out like a tide. The soldiers on the city walls felt a sharp pain in their eardrums; many were shaken dizzy, their weapons nearly slipping from their hands. The glass of several nearby armored vehicles even cracked from the sound waves.

"This monster... is too strong!" Wang Hu gritted his teeth, his grip on the Bone-Spike Long Saber tightening. "Division Commander, this can't go on! Our firepower can't break its defense at all!"

Chen Hao's eyes were also bloodshot with anxiety: "Division Commander, let me lead the Special Ops Regiment down there! We'll engage it in close combat!"

"No!" Lin Zhou flatly refused, his gaze locked onto the Golden Perfected Form. "Its strength is too great; close combat is just suicide!"

His brain worked rapidly as his gaze swept across the battlefield—the magnetic storm coils were still outputting current, but they could only barely restrain those Level Six Mutants; the soldiers in magnetic storm infantry armor were fighting the Mutants that had slipped through on the city walls; the combat-ready weapons of the Red Alert Base had all been deployed... wait! magnetic storm coils!

Lin Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up. He snapped his gaze toward the Technician in the command center: "Immediately activate the magnetic storm coil array mode! Focus the energy of all coils toward a single node!"

The Technician was stunned: "Division Commander, the energy load of the array mode is extreme. The coils are very likely to overload and burn out!"

"We can't worry about that now!" Lin Zhou's voice was resolute. "Right now, only the high-voltage current of the magnetic storm has a chance to penetrate its scales! Execute the order!"

"Yes!"

The moment the order was given, the thirty magnetic storm coils distributed along the coastline suddenly emitted a rapid hum. The silver-white coils began to rotate at high speeds, pale blue currents dancing and converging on their surfaces. Currents like swimming dragons surged toward the Primary Coil at the very front.

The moment the currents converged, it was as if a thunderclap lit up the world. At the top of the Primary Coil, a blinding blue ball of light expanded continuously. The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the air to distort.

The Golden Perfected Form seemed to sense danger. Its pace suddenly quickened, and its massive claws swiped fiercely toward the city wall. If this blow landed, even the sturdy alloy city wall would likely have a large hole smashed into it!

"Now!" Lin Zhou shouted, his eyes nearly bursting. "Magnetic Storm Array, fire!"

The Technician slammed down the red button.

The blue ball of light at the top of the Primary Coil instantly transformed into a thick pillar of electric current. Like the wrath of a thunder god, it tore through the sky and struck the Golden Perfected Form head-on!

The pillar of current, carrying world-destroying power, accurately hit the Golden Perfected Form's chest. "Zzzt—!" The ear-piercing sound of electricity instantly drowned out all roars and explosions. Blue electric arcs frantically roamed and jumped across its scales.

The Golden Perfected Form's entire body convulsed violently, its steps coming to a sudden halt. Under the searing current, its dark gold scales began to emit wisps of black smoke. Several scales were even pierced by the electricity, revealing the dark red flesh beneath.

"It worked!" A thunderous cheer erupted from the city walls.

Lin Zhou, however, didn't dare relax in the slightest. He roared into the Walkie-Talkie: "Increase energy output! Hold on! You must hold on!"

The energy from the thirty magnetic storm coils poured into the Primary Coil like a bursting dam. The brightness of the electric pillar became more and more blinding, its power growing stronger. For the first time, a note of pain entered the Golden Perfected Form's roar. It struggled desperately, trying to break free from the electrical binding, but it was pinned firmly in place by the pillar of light.

On the mobile platform in the far sea, the Man in the Suit watched the scene on the screen, his face ashen. He suddenly smashed the wine glass in his hand: "Useless! You can't even deal with one little Lin Zhou!"

He turned and roared at the Researcher: "Activate the Perfected Form's Berserk Mode! I want it to destroy Dawn City at any cost!"

The Researcher didn't dare disobey and tremblingly pressed the button on the console.

On the battlefield, the Golden Perfected Form's cranial crystal core suddenly erupted with a blinding purple light. Its body swelled by a size, dark red blood vessels writhing frantically under its skin, and its eyes became even more crimson.

"Roar—!"

An even more frenzied roar sounded, and the Golden Perfected Form actually broke free from the binding of the electric pillar. Its chest was charred black, yet it seemed to feel no pain, rushing toward the city wall again at several times its previous speed!

"Oh no! It's gone berserk!" the Technician cried out in alarm.

The Magnetic Storm Array's pillar of light lost its target and struck the beach, blasting a massive pit. Meanwhile, the thirty magnetic storm coils let out ear-piercing alarms due to overloading and stopped functioning one after another.

Lin Zhou's heart sank abruptly.

The Golden Perfected Form's claws were already inches away.

At this critical moment, a dense rumbling sound suddenly came from the horizon.

Lin Zhou looked up and saw dense black dots appearing on the distant horizon—it was the fighter jet squadron sent as reinforcements by the Western Army Group!

From the lead fighter jet, Wang Hu's voice rang out across the entire battlefield through the Walkie-Talkie: "Division Commander, we're here!"
