Chapter 204 The Banner of Embroidery and the Scattered Splendor: Resuming the Ancestral Path
In the fire, Garo piloted his mech and fought against Hothoran. Even with one arm missing, Hothoran could still easily parry the attacks. The force of his counterattacks, combined with the abnormally high temperature, made it difficult for the memory metal of the armor to recover.
"How could this be! He can't even match him in terms of strength! Just who is this guy! A mecha that can rival the ultimate level of the Heavenly King can't withstand him! Geometric Snowflakes! Entangling Banner Scattering Flowers!" Garo looked surprised, then suddenly retreated and raised his weapon high.
Countless ribbon-like ice crystals extended outwards from the banner, and the areas they spread outwards were barely able to suppress the scorching flames of the divine beast!
"Hey, isn't this going a bit too far? A near-Heavenly King level absolute zero is almost melting here from the residual heat! It's actually so much stronger than a Heavenly King." Garo was clearly unaware of the opponent's level.
By this time, his headset was nowhere to be found. He was talking to himself, but it was clear that he had realized he had misclassified the elf in front of him.
"Don't you understand? You can't do anything to me! Get lost! Don't waste my time!" Xiduolanen was still tough, and threw a punch at Garo, but his exhausted strength was not as fierce as when he attacked Qihao, and he could only slightly push back the mecha.
Gallo didn't want to waste words with this guy who only talked big. If he could fight, he would! If he wanted to leave, he'd just beat him to a pulp! It was that simple! With such rampant destruction, no matter what his reasons, he wouldn't let him go easily! He'd at least skin him alive!
At this moment, he crouched slightly, then leaped up with the Banner Spear in hand. The Banner Spear spun in his hand, and ice crystals clung to Sidson's four...three limbs like a bone-deep infection!
Garo then spun the banner-wrapping spear, binding the three arms together with countless ice shards! He then grabbed the spear and slammed it down!
But Siddon didn't move, only coldly staring upwards: "What makes you dare to stand atop the crater?"
Hidorlen snorted coldly, and then a burst of intense heat erupted from him, shooting upwards and instantly evaporating the ice shards binding the banner! It then transformed into a wall of fire that shot straight towards Garo, who was unable to change position in mid-air!
"What?!" Garo stared in astonishment at the evaporating absolute zero! But a great sense of crisis made him react quickly. With a twist of his left wrist, he pulled out the handle of the flag-wrapped spear, which had turned into a crowbar!
Then he raised his crowbar high and smashed it down on the wall of fire beneath him! Creating a patch of ice beneath him! But Gallo knew the ice wouldn't last long, so he used the momentum to jump backward!
"?(?–?)? You did it! You damn arsonist! I never thought I, Remy, would do this~~" Before Garo could finish speaking, flames burst through the ice and surged up. But that was fine, Garo could have barely dodged it anyway, at most it would have burned his outer armor.
But now there's a blue grenade in front of us!
Bong!
The grenade exploded! Huge ice flowers bloomed! Garo was sent flying along with his flag-bearing rifle.
"Bullet on the bullseye." In the distance, a blue mech lay prone on the ground, holding a large sniper rifle. A bespectacled, expressionless man was reloading the sniper rifle. Yes, the bullets were similar to grenade launchers.
"You bastard! You just wanted to blast me!" Garo controlled his mech to get up from the ground, took out his earphones from his pocket and put them back on.
“You were the one who didn’t wear headphones.” Remy didn’t say anything more, and instead fired a shot at Sidson’s only remaining eye.
Sidson quickly raised his hand to block the attack, but the grenade exploded and froze his entire arm.
Seeing this, Xidolan quickly withdrew his hand, but unexpectedly, a huge bucket appeared in front of him and slapped him several meters away.
The road beside the ground had been violently opened, and the heavy machine gear with its hands as shovels was stronger than Heatran at this moment!
"Don't rush in alone next time." Varys' deep voice came through Garo's headset. A captain who is easily hot-blooded is definitely a headache.
...For example, Qi Hao.
"Fine, fine, I'll listen to you, but now!" Garo couldn't outmaneuver the two of them, and while Siddon was distracted, he put the crowbar back in place. Then he stomped hard on the flag-wrapped spear on the ground.
"Dress!"
The swirling flag spun into the sky and pierced straight into the mech's connection port, causing all the original armor to explode! Both arms were completely detached, and the swirling flag gun unfolded, covering the mech and replacing all weaponry except for the basic components!
Then Gallo pulled out a crowbar from behind him: "The fire is out! The spirit remains! Fire armor! Entangling armor!"
"Let's modify it! You're such a damn chatterbox! Shouting like that! Are you an idiot?!" Xiduolan was getting annoyed by this constant barrage of complaints, and now he wanted to kick even a dog! Let alone the incessantly nagging Garo!
Several flames, under his control, surged towards Garo like fire dragons.
Meanwhile, the tracks of the modified Garo mech began to operate at high speed, greatly increasing its speed! At the same time, the combat program built into its visor also began to plan its attack route!
With the aid of high technology, even though Garo is just a trained ordinary person, he can easily break through Heatran's attack! In an instant, he breaks through to Heatran's front and smashes his staff down on him!
"What!" Before Sidson could react, he instinctively retaliated by flicking the crowbar away. But the simple crowbar seemed to have a life of its own in Garo's hands, folding in the air and then turning into a submachine gun that shot straight at Sidson's face. A series of explosive absolute zero bullets caught the opponent off guard!
"I don't want to hear you! You arsonist bastard!" Garo's attitude remained unchanged; he had no sympathy for arsonists who deliberately set fires and terrorists who wantonly destroyed property!
------
Meanwhile, amidst the hospital ruins, Song Chenggong, carrying a large block of ice, had already evacuated Chen Mu from the area affected by the flames, constantly complaining, "Anyone, just send me an elf!"
"Are you thinking about me?" A neutral voice sounded in Song Chenggong's mind, making him shudder.
"Hey? Isn't this Song Chenggong? So you're here? Haven't seen you for days, you've gotten so tired. Also, I've finished training your Urshifu, see the results?" Pina appeared out of the ruins, seemingly sensing Song Chenggong under the influence of her psychic powers, and appeared directly in front of him, throwing a Poké Ball at him.
Song Chenggong reacted quickly, setting aside the ice cube and Chen Mu, and caught the Poké Ball that flew towards him. The familiar feel of the ball carried a hint of heaviness: "In that case, let's go! Urshifu!"
"Hurrah! (I feel great now!)" Martial Arts Bear Master slowly stood up, then roared! Steam rose from his entire body, and his aura surged wildly, clearly indicating that he was no longer just a Heavenly King!
However, Song Chenggong was not particularly surprised by the state of Martial Arts Master Xiong. The Path of Restoration should have this effect. But he was actually drenched in sweat, and this time he might have to wear another disguise.
To retrace the ancestral path. That is, to repeat the path once walked by one's ancestors in order to understand their skills, abilities, and even some of their levels. This sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult.
First, one must possess the same or even greater power as one's ancestor in his youth and be able to read through all of his spiritual life trajectories. Martial Arts Bear Master has already accomplished this. After all, the elves have been developing for four hundred years. If one still cannot keep up with the progress of the earliest batch of elves, then it's time to start over.
Then, recreate the most important, most meaningful, and most legendary moment of his life!
This varies from person to person, but the most important achievement of the ancestor of the Martial Arts Urshifu was that during evolution, he used his Stand to learn the Scroll of Evil, while his main body learned the Scroll of Water. Finally, he fused his Stand into one, becoming the first Martial Arts Urshifu to master both styles.
For Song Chenggong, whose martial arts bear master had already evolved through the evil scroll, to do this would require him to completely forget what he had learned and start from scratch, which was tantamount to cutting off his own arms!
Moreover, simultaneously evolving two different styles could potentially lead to the body exploding. In the past, Song Chenggong would never have allowed a Martial Arts Bear Master to do this. In earlier years, countless members of the Martial Arts Bear Master clan had already destroyed their own path by attempting to reincarnate!
Even though historical records clearly state that their ancestors explicitly forbade such behavior before their disappearance, every few years, some overconfident and power-hungry bear disciples would still ruin themselves. Clearly, that ancestor never imagined his own people would be even more stubborn than himself.
So far, only Bina, with her perfect vision, has been able to ensure the Path of Restoration proceeds perfectly.
"Even I'm not sure what school of martial arts this bear master belongs to. As for these two, I'm taking them with me. Go ahead and cause trouble." The adult world doesn't need too much explanation. Bina wisely led Chen Mu and the big ice block away from where she stood.
