Chapter 236: Rays of Golden Light
As soon as the Victory Team's planes appeared, the ancient Chinese fighter jets immediately came to their aid.
A series of sharp streaks of light flashed across the sky, weaving together a tight network of firepower.
Looking through the window of his fighter jet, Daigo saw the Chinese fighter jets roaring past beside him, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him—curiosity about an unknown ally and a firm resolve to fight side by side. These fighter jets from the mysterious ancient Eastern country had sleek, powerful lines, gleaming with metallic luster under the sunlight, like steel behemoths poised to pounce.
However, there are also some very old-fashioned models that, like veterans, step forward in times of crisis, disregarding their own gains and losses.
The Chinese fighter jet formation quickly dispersed, inserting itself into the battlefield with perfect coordination.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, like well-trained dancers, moving freely through a hail of bullets.
One of the fighter jets suddenly accelerated, hurtling towards the enemy's limbs like an arrow released from a bow. Missiles under its wings spewed out dazzling flames, accurately hitting the mechanical dragon's energy shield.
The shield flashed with a strong blue light, like ripples on the surface of water, and successfully withstood the attack.
"Damn it, this shield is stronger than expected!" Li Ming, the pilot of the Chinese fighter jet, bit his lip, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety, but even more so, determination.
He quickly pulled the control stick, and the fighter jet drew a graceful arc in the air, skillfully avoiding the enemy mechanical dragon's counterattack fire.
Meanwhile, the Victory team members were not to be outdone.
Lina piloted her fighter jet, skillfully dodging enemy attacks while searching for weaknesses in the enemy's defenses.
He seized the opportunity and launched a specially designed homing missile, which trailed a long plume of flame and shot straight toward the enemy's crater.
However, the enemy seemed to sense the danger and slightly tilted its head to dodge the attack.
Just then, another fighter jet from the ancient Chinese nation outflanked the enemy from the side, emitting jamming signals that disrupted the enemy's evasive maneuvers.
Seizing the opportunity, Shinjou's Texas Cannon accurately struck the target, causing a loud bang as the mechanical dragon emitted a large amount of red smoke.
When the red smoke dissipated, everyone present had mixed feelings, mostly a sense of unease, nostalgia, and devastation!
The mechanical dragon's once-hard shell was now cracked in several places, yet instead of collapsing, it let out a low roar, emanating an even more powerful aura of evil. Its eyes flashed with a blood-red light, filled with rage and murderous intent.
"Oh no, this guy has gotten even stronger!" Hori stared nervously at the changes in the mechanical dragon's data on the screen.
Daigo frowned, knowing he had to find the mechanical dragon's true weakness, or the battle would become even more difficult.
At this moment, Zhang Yu, the captain of the Chinese fighter squadron, spoke through the communication channel with a calm and powerful voice: "Everyone in the Victory Team, the energy core of this mechanical dragon should not be in the usual location. We need to find a new breakthrough."
"Understood!" Daigo replied.
Therefore, both sides adjusted their tactics again.
The Chinese fighter jets used advanced scanning equipment to detect the mechanical dragon from all angles.
The Victory Team was tasked with drawing the mechanical dragon's attention, creating favorable conditions for the Chinese fighter jets.
Lina and Daigo each piloted a Victory Flying Swallow, circling in front of the mechanical dragon and releasing flares, which caused the mechanical dragon to continuously spew out high-temperature flames to attack.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Daigo piloted his fighter jet around to the rear of the mechanical dragon and carefully observed its every move.
After a tense search, the Chinese fighter jets finally made a discovery. Zhang Yu excitedly shouted, "Found it! The mechanical dragon's energy core is in an extremely well-hidden location under its abdomen, surrounded by layers of protection."
Having learned this crucial information, the group decided to launch a final all-out attack.
The Chinese fighter jet squadron took the lead, with several fighter jets forming an assault team and rushing towards the lower abdomen of the mechanical dragon, using powerful laser weapons to cut through the protective layer.
Meanwhile, other fighter jets continuously launched flares in the air to disrupt the mechanical dragon's vision and attack rhythm.
The Victory Team also cooperated fully, with Daigo, Rena, and Shinjo piloting their fighter jets to focus their firepower on the mechanical dragon's head, suppressing its counterattack.
The mechanical dragon sensed an unprecedented threat and frantically twisted its body, trying to escape the attack.
However, the Chinese fighter jets and the Victory Team worked closely together and never gave it a chance.
Thanks to the relentless efforts of the assault team, a breach was finally torn in the protective layer on the mechanical dragon's abdomen.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yu piloted his fighter jet at high speed toward the gap and launched a powerful, specially designed missile.
The missile precisely penetrated the gap and hit the energy core.
With a slight haste, the mechanical dragon reassembled its energy core.
Upon seeing this, Horii immediately realized a problem.
That is, they overlooked the fact that this mechanical dragon was most likely synthesized from biological and mechanical components.
Therefore, as a machine, it actually has the ability to regenerate.
"This is troublesome!" Hori exclaimed, his forehead covered in sweat, his hands rapidly tapping on the control panel, trying to analyze a solution.
"We can't let it fully recover!" Daigo's eyes were firm as he maneuvered his fighter jet to dodge the air currents generated by the mechanical dragon's wild limbs, all the while thinking of a solution.
The members of the Chinese fighter jet formation were equally undeterred.
Zhang Yu calmly commanded, "Maintain the attack rhythm, don't let the energy core completely coalesce! All groups, pay attention to coordination." The assault team's fighter jets increased the output power of their laser weapons, and thick laser beams continuously shot towards the gap in the mechanical dragon's abdomen, preventing the energy core from coalescing further.
Despite the mechanical dragon's constant struggles and twists, which greatly increased the difficulty of the attack, the pilots, with their superb flying skills and unwavering will, consistently managed to accurately project the laser onto the target area.
Other aircraft responsible for jamming also increased the frequency of their flares, and the sky was filled with white smoke and electromagnetic pulses from the explosions of the flares.
Within this area of interference, the mechanical dragon moved more slowly and its vision was greatly impaired. It roared angrily, but was unable to effectively retaliate against the attacks.
However, the problem is that with such a high-intensity attack, their aircraft no longer have enough energy.
Some people gritted their teeth, piloted their fighter jets, and planned a suicidal attack.
Just as it was about to touch the mechanical dragon, a beam of light appeared and intercepted the attack.
Shinjo shouted, "Ultraman Naga!"
The Naga had just finished setting up its fighter jet when it was ambushed by a mechanical dragon.
But that little bit of damage was still too little for him.
Naga unleashed eight beams of light that sliced the alien in the cockpit apart, then destroyed it with a burst of energy.
The mechanical dragon lost all power and came to a stop.
New City planned to launch an attack to completely destroy the mechanical dragon, but Naga released it.
He unleashed his power, and the fallen pilots transformed into golden rays of light, merging into the mechanical dragon's body.
Suddenly, the weather changed drastically, and a dragon's roar resounded in everyone's hearts.
