Chapter 188: Susanoo, Scorpion Gundam, Mecha-Godzilla, Manda
Orochimaru seized the opportunity. "Master, quickly seal both Jugo and the Dragon Vein!"
Muzake responded, "Let's rescue Jugo first."
Before they could finish speaking, Kabuto, lying on the ground, let out a painful cry. His eyes snapped open, and he clutched his head, groaning in agony. Blood dripped from his nose as his eyes bulged and veins popped.
Across from him, Jugo roared in fury, swinging his fists at everyone. Kabuto's attempt had failed, or the White Director had failed.
In the dream, young Jugo had been well cared for in the orphanage and enjoyed a beautiful and happy life. But Jugo had a split personality. Whenever he slept, his other violent personality and the polluted consciousness of the dragon would emerge, whispering to him.
"This isn't your home."
"You're not an orphan."
"You have a home, and we're your brothers."
"That director is a fake. She wants to trap you forever."
"Fight back, destroy the orphanage, and find your real home, find us."
"We're waiting for you."
"We're your real family."
These whispers turned into constant murmurs, haunting him day and night.
Eventually, during a meal, Jugo could no longer bear it. His eyes turned black, and he punched the director in the face. The heavy blow injured the White Director, and since the Stand's damage reflects on the user, Kabuto suffered the same blow, waking up in agony.
With tears streaming down her face, the White Director left the dream, causing the orphanage to collapse. Jugo returned to his body. Though a year had passed in the dream, only a few seconds had elapsed outside.
Muzake sighed, "Orochimaru, look after Kabuto." He fired an electromagnetic cannon at Jugo's incoming fist, repelling him with a surge of electricity.
Sasori shouted from the ground, "Fire! Fire!" His ice-release cannons targeted Jugo's fists, freezing them. However, the purple-blue Dragon Vein energy melted the ice into flames, and Jugo counterattacked with fiery punches aimed at the tanks.
Sasuke activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. "Susanoo!" In its third form, Susanoo, clad in the tengu armor, blocked the flames with its oversized bow. On the other side, Sasori's Gundam shielded against the fire.
Angered by the thwarted attack, the demonic Jugo began to mutate again, growing two additional arms. The four-armed Jugo clashed with Sasuke's Susanoo and Sasori's Gundam, the three colossal entities battling fiercely. The desert trembled under their might, causing the ground to crack and reveal deep chasms.
Sensing the distortion of the underground magnetic field, Muzak realized that the prolonged battle could destroy the desert. He could no longer afford to be merciful.
"Jugo, I'm sorry."
"Orochimaru, Manda, take positions."
"Everyone, attack from all sides and seal him."
Muzake soared into the sky, commanding Gaara to lead the tank squad to safety. "Retreat immediately."
The epic battle between the five monsters was a sight of utter destruction. Gaara quickly withdrew the tanks.
Muzake summoned "Mecha-Godzilla Unit One." With a massive boom, the 120-meter-long mechanical beast appeared, armed with rockets, missiles, a laser cannon, and a super electromagnetic cannon.
"Let's attack together," Muzake ordered.
Sasuke initiated his ultimate technique, "Ban-kai!"
"Thunder for my voice; lightning for my blade!"
"Takemikazuchi-no-Kami!"
He raised his hand.
"My seat in the heavens."
"Thunder Armor."
Lightning cascaded from the thunderclouds, enveloping Susanoo in a layer of lightning armor. The tengu armor, now enhanced, wielded a long blade of lightning. "Thunder God Armor: Susanoo."
Sasuke drew his longbow with his left hand and aimed a lightning arrow at the demonic Jugo. With a swift release, the arrow shot toward Jugo.
The others joined in, unleashing their attacks. Sasori's Gundam fired its beam rifle and missile launchers, Manda lunged to bite, and Orochimaru extended his Kusanagi sword into a hundred-meter-long blade, thrusting it toward Jugo. Muzake controlled Unit One to fire rockets and lasers.
Despite the Dragon Vein's enhancement, Jugo couldn't withstand the attacks from four directions. The overwhelming assault pushed him to the brink as he roared and screeched in fury and pain.
