Countless masses of seawater crashed down from the sky in an instant. Several warships rocked under the impact of the towering waves, but fortunately stabilized quickly, while the surrounding area looked as if a torrential downpour had begun.
"Where did they go?! Activate radar. Scan the surroundings!!"
The fleet commander panicked at the sight, but quickly issued orders to begin the search.
As they waited for the results, everyone held their breath, staring tensely at the radar. The moment a red dot appeared, all eyes snapped toward it.
"Where?!"
"I-it's directly below us!!"
Whoosh—
The moment that report came in, the crew aboard Arasaka's supercarrier completely lost their composure.
"Initiate counterattack protocol. Launch underwater pursuit missiles and torpedoes!"
The fleet commander barked out orders at top speed. The crew, receiving the command, hurriedly scrambled to carry them out.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a colossal hand, vast enough to blot out the sky, burst out of the sea. In the next instant, it slammed heavily onto Arasaka's supercarrier.
Boom—
A deafening explosion rang out. The violent tremor sent everyone on the supercarrier sprawling to the deck. Just as they managed to steady themselves, an overwhelming sense of pressure surged over them.
From the perspective of the surrounding warships, the massive form of the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit rose from the ocean. One enormous hand gripped the side of the supercarrier, while countless fighter jets that had yet to take off slid straight into the sea.
As for the jets that had just managed to scramble into the air, they were instantly blasted apart by the energy cannons mounted on the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit's shoulders.
Boom—
As the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit slowly rose from the sea, its towering, hundreds-of-meters-tall body came fully into view.
"M-monster… it's a monster!!!"
A soldier aboard one of Arasaka's warships collapsed onto the deck in terror, pointing at the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit as he screamed. The others weren't quite as overwhelmed, but the fear in their eyes was unmistakable.
In the next moment, the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit slowly extended its massive hand toward one of the warships.
The surrounding warships immediately responded, unleashing concentrated fire at the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit. However, every shell was completely blocked by its Energy Shield before even reaching its body, leaving it entirely unharmed.
Whoosh—
At the same time, the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit's giant hand had already seized one of the warships. As its fingers slowly tightened.
Crack!
Boom!
Blinding flames erupted across the sea. The terrified screams of the crew aboard that warship flooded the entire Arasaka's Fleet comms channel.
Through the black smoke rising in front of it, the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit's enormous silhouette loomed, its crimson eyes flickering within. Its form resembled a demon lord come to end the world.
"W-what… what is that?!"
Watching through the video feed, Saburo Arasaka completely lost his composure. He shot to his feet, pointing at the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit on the screen, his voice trembling.
Takemura, standing beside him, was equally stunned. No one could have imagined that PROJECT still had such a trump card.
"Retreat. Retreat. Fall back immediately!!!"
On Arasaka's Fleet comms channel, the fleet commander had completely abandoned any hope. He roared frantically as he tore off his weapon and sprinted toward an escape pod.
Pure survival instinct drove him forward.
The remaining warships immediately changed course upon receiving the order, pushing their engines to the limit as they fled. At that moment, everyone wished their ships could go faster.
Faced with this, the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit, controlled by Lissandra, had no intention of letting them escape.
This was his first appearance. It had to end perfectly.
The Tyrant Sword Demon Unit slowly reached a hand behind its back. The sight made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
In the next instant, a colossal sword over a hundred meters long appeared in its grasp.
"Run. Faster. Move!!!!"
Whoosh—
The massive blade swept through the air. A terrifying surge of energy burst outward. The sea, which had just calmed, stilled for a brief moment before monstrous waves erupted skyward.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, every warship surrounding Arasaka's supercarrier was completely obliterated by that single strike. Only wreckage and flames remained, sinking slowly into the depths.
Now, only Arasaka's supercarrier remained.
The people aboard were filled with despair. Faced with such overwhelming power, they had no idea how to resist.
The Tyrant Sword Demon Unit slowly turned its head, fixing its gaze on the supercarrier.
Then it slammed a hand toward the sea.
In an instant, vast energy surged forth, forming a chain that pierced straight through the supercarrier's hull.
The Tyrant Sword Demon Unit clenched its hand, and the chain tightened violently.
Whoosh—
Immediately after, a streak of sword light descended from above.
Boom!!!
Flames surged into the sky.
The Tyrant Sword Demon Unit calmly returned the massive sword to its back, then beat its wings.
Boom!
A massive depression formed on the ocean's surface as its body shot into the sky. After flipping midair, it landed on the wasteland outside Night City.
Boom!
The immense force caused the ground to cave in instantly. After scanning its surroundings, the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit slowly lowered its head, and the glow in its eyes gradually faded.
At this point, the Arasaka forces within Night City and its surrounding areas were effectively wiped out.
"Hahahahahaha!!!!"
After watching the entire battle, Roland burst into wild laughter, utterly thrilled. He was extremely satisfied with the Tyrant Sword Demon Unit's performance.
Now, he was very curious to see how the other factions would react.
