The Tokusatsu Era: Starting with Orphnoch

Chapter 267 Horseshoe Crab Worm (Alien Insect)!!!

While the special agents and border troops were busy cleaning up the numerous Worms, an unknown standoff was quietly unfolding in an abandoned building not far away.

The room was dimly lit, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and dust.

A man with long hair and black-rimmed glasses stood by the window, staring intently at THEBEE in the center of the battlefield.

His face looked somewhat deranged, and his eyes revealed a kind of madness and determination.

"Hey, I've given you your chance. If you don't seize it, you can forget about ever becoming the King of the Worms!"

Wu Dao leaned against a pillar, observing everything with a cold and ruthless expression.

Upon hearing Wudao's words, the horseshoe crab Worm abruptly turned its head to glare at him, a cold smile playing on its lips: "Heh, you damned Natives, you just want to use me to maintain your so-called balance!"

"What, are you getting impatient because I haven't made a move?"

Udo remained unfazed by the horseshoe crab Worm's taunts, coldly replying, "You should be glad we found you first. If the scorpion Worm had discovered you, you would have been in deep trouble, and you should know what would have happened to you."

"You'd better not act on your own and stick to the plan!" With that, Wudao disappeared into the shadows.

The horseshoe crab Worm watched the island recede into the distance with a blank expression until it completely disappeared from sight before slowly turning its gaze away.

Its eyes, which didn't look like eyes, were constantly scanning the fierce battlefield below, as if it had nothing to do with it.

However, at that moment, two huge blue light bullets, like lightning, rushed from the side and shot straight at the horseshoe crab Worm.

Despite the sudden attack, the horseshoe crab Worm remained remarkably calm.

It seemed to have sensed the presence of the two light projectiles long ago. With a swift movement, it dodged to the side like a ghost, easily avoiding the fatal blow.

“Gatack, you really are a persistent ghost!” Horseshoe Crab Worm said slowly, a mocking smile playing on its lips, as it rested its head on its hand.

"I've come all this way, and you still managed to find me."

However, Gatack, who emerged from around the corner, did not respond to its words but continued its attack without mercy.

Suddenly, Gatack accelerated, charging towards the horseshoe crab Worm like a cannonball, while simultaneously swinging his fist and smashing it down on the Worm with tremendous force.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Gatack's fist slammed into the abandoned wall, instantly creating a huge hole in it.

But the horseshoe crab Worm had already appeared on the other side like a ghost, completely unharmed.

"It's been so long, why are you still so irritable and easily angered!"

"I merely mimicked your brother's appearance and used his identity to live in the Ming Dynasty for a few years. Why are you so relentless?"

The horseshoe crab Worm revealed a chilling, eerie smile, its laughter echoing through the air as if mocking and provoking Gatack.

Upon hearing the horseshoe crab Worm's words, Gatack's anger was instantly ignited.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at the wretched insect before him, his fists clenched so tightly with extreme anger that his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Gatack couldn't stand the horseshoe crab Worm's nonchalant way of talking about the harm he had done to his brother; he felt his dignity had been severely trampled on.

He reached out his right hand towards the caterpillar-shaped insect combat device and suddenly snapped the two horns on its head.

CAST OFF! [Armor Burst!]

Immediately, fragments of Gatack's armor hurtled forward.

CLOCK UP! [Time-lapse!]

.................................................. .....

Seeing that Gatack had entered the "Time-Arise" state, the Horseshoe Crab Worm (Zerg) stopped its earlier teasing and focused all its attention on dealing with the enemy in front of it.

For a time, fists clashed and sparks flew inside the abandoned building. The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving an inch, until the sky darkened and the outcome was uncertain.

However, in that split second, the horseshoe crab Worm suddenly felt a sharp pain in its lower back, which made it slow down its attack for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, Gatack, of course, would not let such a fleeting opportunity slip by. He instantly took the Gatack Twin Blades from his shoulders and slashed fiercely at the sides of the horseshoe crab Worm's waist like a whirlwind!

Even in excruciating pain, the horseshoe crab Worm reacted quickly, raising its claws to block Gatack's series of attacks.

With two sharp "splat! splat!" sounds, despite the horseshoe crab Worm's quick reaction, Gatack's attack was too fast and fierce, and Gatack still managed to strike it several times.

The horseshoe crab Worm was in great pain and knew that its current injuries were not enough to use that move, so it had no choice but to make a quick decision to retreat.

"That's enough for today. I'll settle the score with you once I'm healed!" The horseshoe crab Worm glared fiercely at Gatack.

He then suddenly raised his hand, and several purple light bullets shot out from his palm, hurtling towards Gatack like meteors.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

With a series of muffled explosions, large craters were blasted into the ground in front of Gatack, dust flew up, and smoke filled the air.

Without a second thought, Gatack swiftly raised his twin blades, crossing them in front of his chest to form a solid defensive line.

Light bullets rained down, sparking dazzlingly as they collided with the double blades, scattering shards and dust in all directions.

Gatack gripped his twin blades tightly, gritting his teeth and persevering. Each impact of the light bullets caused his arms to tremble slightly, but he dared not relax for a moment.

Finally, the firing of the light bullets stopped, and the smoke gradually dissipated.

Gatack slowly lowered his twin blades and looked closely. The horseshoe crab Worm that should have been standing there had vanished without a trace!

Looking around, the ruins were deathly silent, with only buildings blown to pieces and rubble scattered all over the ground.

Gatack stood there silently, holding his twin blades, as if frozen in place, not moving an inch.
