221: Tiger style!

Facing Ouro's nervousness, Rosa smiled slightly and said, "Ouro, I think your worries are really a bit excessive."

"With the current strength of our Tiger King Farm, we won't fear so-called mechs at all."

"You should know that the little ants are Hellfire Ants, and even more terrifying Hellfire Ants than before."

"As an existence capable of supporting a Forbidden Zone, it's not weak in the slightest."

"While time has allowed humans to develop many powerful new technologies, it has also given these Awakened Beasts more time to develop."

"Not only are their numbers greater, but the individual strength of these Hellfire Ants has also become incredibly terrifying."

"Furthermore, most of the mech materials are inherently taken from the Carapace of the Hellfire Ants, making them naturally countered. There's no need to worry at all."

"I know you're worried about tianqing no.."

"But such a huge mech moving out cannot be completely silent."

"We'll adapt to the situation then."

"If it's impossible, it's not like we can't be flexible."

Unlike Ouro, who had been with Lin Tianwei from the very beginning, Rosa's sense of belonging to Tiger King Farm wasn't as strong.

She was only here because Ouro was here.

Facing Rosa's comfort, Ouro gave a bitter smile.

If things were as simple as imagined, it would be taking too much for granted.

However, he didn't blame Rosa for it.

After all, Rosa was someone he had dragged into this.

It was best if she had such thoughts.

Then, when it came time to escape, she probably wouldn't have any psychological burden.

As for himself?

He would naturally stay and live or die with Tiger King Farm and Lord Tiger King.

He had long since completely merged with Tiger King Farm and could not be separated from it.

Thinking of this, Ouro, in turn, comforted Rosa, saying, "Rosa, you're absolutely right."

"Perhaps we're just worrying unnecessarily."

"Alright, you go get busy. I still have things to do."

"When it gets a little quieter tonight, I'll have a good in-depth discussion with you about the intelligence."

After saying this, ignoring Rosa's flushed eyes, Ouro set off on the road to Tiger King Temple.

Under the sunlight, this building at the heart of Tiger King Farm shone brightly.

Although a long time had passed, Tiger King Temple had always maintained the state it was in when it was first built.

It was so new it didn't look like a building eroded by time.

But the people of Tiger King Farm all knew that it was merely Lord Tiger King's divine power at work.

Protecting this not-so-large Tiger King Temple was merely a flick of his hand.

However, even such a powerful Lord Tiger King couldn't be a match for the hundreds-of-meters-tall tianqing no., could he?

What's more, America seemed to have captured the Lord of the Forbidden Zone from Crazy Zoo, greatly strengthening its power.

With this ebb and flow, how could Ouro not worry?

However, just as Ouro was about to approach Tiger King Temple, he found an invisible force blocking him outside.

This familiar feeling made Ouro's pupils constrict.

This was undoubtedly Lord Tiger King's method.

Sure enough, almost at the same time, Lin Tianwei's incomparably majestic voice resounded in Ouro's mind, saying:

"Retreat."

"Stay well within the farm. This will be the safest place on Blue Star."

"It was, it is, and it will be."

Lin Tianwei's unquestionable tone made the countless words Ouro wanted to say die in his throat, and he wisely shut his mouth.

A thousand words, stuck in his throat!

Alas, alas.

At most, it would just be returning this rotten life he had picked up.

Thinking of this, Ouro's heart, instead, became calm.

Once a person has nothing to fear, they will no longer be lost.

What he needed to do was to arrange the defensive forces of Tiger King Farm as best as possible.

To meet the potential storm with Tiger King Farm's strongest stance.

This was also the only thing Ouro could do... Ouro left, but Lin Tianwei opened his lighthouse-like eyes and muttered, "Tiger-style?"

"It seems I have one more interesting toy. I really hope it can bring some fun to my boring life."

"America? Since you are courting death, provoking my majesty time and again."

"Then don't blame me for being merciless this time."

"I will let you know that the Tiger King's majesty is not to be violated."

In fact, with Lin Tianwei's current strength, few things happening on American soil could escape his notice.

The intelligence that Ouro painstakingly tried to gather was something he knew like the back of his hand.

America indeed had a big move, and it was a very terrifying big move.

It also concealed a dreadful secret weapon... Tiger-style!

Time was perhaps the most powerful weapon in this world.

While continuously strengthening America's power, it also allowed Lin Tianwei's strength to reach its peak.

Now, he had finally fully utilized the effect of his transcendent Super Multiplication Talent.

He had grown to the limit of this stage.

Unless he acquired powerful Talents he didn't currently possess, Lin Tianwei's strength would remain capped.

However, Lin Tianwei didn't care about this in the slightest.

With his current strength, he could be said to have no rivals on Blue Star.

Whether he could acquire more powerful Talents made no difference to him now.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked up at the sky and secretly thought that perhaps only the vast universe was his goal.

However, to break through the universe, his current strength was far from enough.

Blue Star was ultimately just one member of the vast universe, and could even be said to be one of the weakest members.

One should know that just the genes extracted after the death of that Cosmic Beast could cause such terrifying mutations on Blue Star.

Not to mention its peak state.

Perhaps it was a terrifying giant beast capable of swallowing Blue Star whole.

This was also why Lin Tianwei allowed Blue Star to develop freely.

With his strength, he could have intervened in Blue Star's development long ago.

But under the influence of the Gamma Gene, every life was a possibility.

Each had the potential to give birth to powerful Talents.

As long as a sufficient population and number of creatures were maintained.

Even if Blue Star was just an ordinary planet, it could still give birth to powerful Talents for Lin Tianwei to hunt.

This place was like Lin Tianwei's breeding ground.

A breeding ground for powerful Talents.

With enough time, Lin Tianwei could Reinforce indefinitely.

Until he reached the limit of the Gamma Gene, and no more valuable Talents could be born for Lin Tianwei.

At that time.

Perhaps it would be when Lin Tianwei took his first step towards the sea of stars.

As for the so-called "Tiger-style"?

That was America's secret weapon, researched to deal with Lin Tianwei.

It was a mech as massive as tianqing no..

However, one corresponded to a humanoid form, while the other corresponded to a Tiger form.

It would be too naive to think they had only prepared tianqing no. for Lin Tianwei.

The combat power Lin Tianwei had once displayed made everyone tremble with fear.

MacArthur didn't even dare to act against Lin Tianwei until he had absolute certainty.

The so-called tianqing no. was merely a smokescreen.

Black Fiend and Tiger-style were the ultimate products of plan b and Plan M.

Of course.

The power of tianqing no. was also not weak.

It was just slightly weaker than Tiger-style.

After all, as a predator at the top of nature, the Tiger has always been a symbol of strength.

Moreover, there was Lin Tianwei, a shadow cast over the entire America, which led America to ultimately position this beast-form mech as a Tiger form.

Of course, although "Tiger-style" was a Tiger form, it wasn't a pure Tiger form.

A mech was a mech after all, outside the realm of living creatures.

Through the professors' research and data analysis, Tiger-style was derived from a Tiger, yet distinctly different from a Tiger.

It was no longer covered in Tiger fur, but rather various high-tech weapons.

Spikes, Claws, Sharp Teeth, steel needles, long whips... Every part of its body was a weapon for Tiger-style.

It was even equipped with various thermal weapons in special areas, greatly enhancing Tiger-style's power.

In a sense, Tiger-style was a more formidable existence than tianqing no..

After all, the four-legged design was more stable, naturally crushing tianqing no., which was in a humanoid form.

It allowed for more exaggerated modifications.

tianqing no., however, was different.

To maintain balance, many functions had to be sacrificed.

But this was, after all, a mech created by humans.

It was inherently adaptable to humanoid forms.

This also led to the humanoid form being the one that could best unleash the mech's strength.

After all, not everyone could pilot a beast-form mech.

As for the pilot of Tiger-style?

That was an Esper named Tiger.

His ability was to transform into a terrifying fierce Tiger.

That's right, he was the Esper who gained the beast transformation ability after the Clone Tiger army was annihilated.

At first, he could only transform into a beastman.

As his Esper ability continuously strengthened and his body constantly adapted, Tiger's Esper ability also evolved.

Allowing him to directly transform from a human into a fierce Tiger.

From mind to body, he became a true Tiger.

However, this Esper ability had almost no practical use.

A two-to-three-meter-long Tiger might be powerful for ordinary Awakened, but it was definitely at the bottom among Espers.

Just as Tiger fell into despair, thinking he would become a useless existence, Professor Arnos found him.

He asked him to participate in another piloting experiment.

A true mech piloting experiment.

The purpose was to develop powerful beast-form mechs.

After all, beasts had proven over countless years of history that in close combat, they were the absolute kings.

However, due to the lack of suitable pilots, this plan had never made decisive progress.

After all, no matter how much humans changed, they were still essentially human, and many human instincts and habits would remain.

These habits might be insignificant in normal times.

But in a war that determined America's survival, any small mistake would be absolutely fatal.

MacArthur could not possibly allow such mistakes to exist.

If he couldn't find a suitable pilot, he even intended to build two tianqing no. units.

Only power that could be completely controlled was truly one's own power.

MacArthur had a deep understanding of this point.

Thankfully, the appearance of Tiger gave everyone hope.

This experimenter, who had participated in the Clone Tiger piloting experiment and was himself a Tiger-style beast-man, perhaps with this double Overlay, he could control the Legendary beast-form mecha.

Facts proved that Professor Anos's judgment was very normal.

In the simulated experiment of piloting the beast-form mecha, Tiger displayed extraordinary Talent.

Especially when piloting the Tiger-style mecha, his control over it was exceptionally Flexible.

One could even say it was a completely natural performance.

If it weren't for the countless ferocious weapons attached to its body, onlookers might even believe that the colossal creature before them wasn't a mecha, but a real fierce Tiger.

It was under these circumstances that the Tiger-style Plan was born, an attempt to create a beast-form mecha as massive as the tianqing no., to contend with the terrifying Tiger King.

Coupled with the most brilliant achievement of plan b, Black Fiend, MacArthur already held three trump cards in his hand.

No, MacArthur had one more trump card, and that was the terrifying Silver Fox.

After being contracted by Milosh, the Silver Fox's self-awareness was annihilated, and it was successfully domesticated into America's dog.

It became a member of the plan to counter Lin Tianwei.

Under the terrifying accumulation of resources across America, the Silver Fox's recovery speed was far quicker than imagined.

It took only half a month to fully recover.

Not only that, but with the accumulation of a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the Silver Fox also began to grow rapidly.

Its body quickly stretched, soon growing from five meters to a full ten meters in length.

Its combat power at least doubled.

Its terrifying Mental Power also became increasingly formidable.

But thankfully, the Silver Fox had already been leashed by Milosh and could no longer cause trouble.

Now, it was merely a very useful tool in America's hands.

In the command center, Adolf said excitedly, "General MacArthur, the long-prepared plan has finally reached the moment of execution."

"All conditions are ripe, and it's time to go all out and completely destroy Tiger King Farm."

How could Adolf not be excited?

To prevent leaks, the existence of Tiger-style and Black Fiend was known to very few.

Even he had been kept in the dark.

Yet, he hadn't expected that in the recent conversation, MacArthur had directly given him a 'royal flush,' revealing the terrifying power America truly possessed.

In his opinion, it was a terrifying power capable of destroying everything.

Since such terrifying power existed, there was naturally no need for any hesitation in executing the plan to attack Tiger King Farm.

Directly deploying troops to attack and quickly push through Tiger King Farm would be the best choice.

Facing Adolf's proposal, MacArthur did not respond directly.

His index finger tapped rhythmically on the desktop, emitting a dull sound.

Clearly, MacArthur was waiting for others to express their opinions.

Seeing no one speak, Radho hesitated and said, "I think our actions are a bit inappropriate."

"Indeed, we have the strength to flatten Tiger King Farm."

"But that doesn't mean we can truly capture the Tiger King."

"After all, such a ferocious Awakened Beast would be an unsolvable problem if it wanted to escape."

"Even deploying all our available power would make it difficult to capture the Tiger King."

"Instead, our compatriots living in Tiger King Farm would suffer unwarranted disaster, which would truly be a loss rather than a gain."

"In my opinion, cutting off the Tiger King's food supply is sufficient."

"No longer offering tribute is also a way for us, America, to declare our sovereignty."

"At that time, two scenarios might arise."

"One is that the Tiger King recognizes its own strength and chooses to endure, subtly indicating submission to us, America."

"The other is that it fails to recognize its own strength, thinking we are still the weaklings it once manipulated."

"Such behavior would naturally provoke it."

"At that time, the incident of one Tiger destroying a city might happen again."

"However, now we possess the strength to completely crush it."

"We can set up an ambush in nearby Las City to capture the foolish Tiger King in one fell swoop."

"This might be the best choice."

No sooner had Radho finished speaking than Oslo stood up to refute, saying, "Radho, what you said might be very reasonable."

"But what we, America, need now is not a battle for a steady victory."

"Rather, it is a battle that completely crushes a powerful enemy and demonstrates America's formidable strength to everyone."

"We have been suppressed under the shadow of Awakened Beasts for far too long."

"Humanity urgently needs a victory that can give confidence to everyone."

"So, even if it might come at a greater cost, I still suggest directly attacking Tiger King Farm."

"Sometimes, necessary sacrifices are worthwhile."

"Only a war of blood can awaken the confidence in the hearts of all Americans!"

Oslo's words were impassioned but utterly ruthless.

Just for the sake of so-called confidence, he actually tried to exchange it for countless lives.

Behind every war lies the death of countless lives; it's impossible for everything to go smoothly.

Especially when the opponent was once the formidable Tiger King.

If Oslo and Adolf's proposals were adopted, this battle would result in at least one hundred thousand deaths.

Hearing this, Ismail couldn't hold back and spoke, saying, "Aren't you being a bit too selfish?"

"Just for the sake of so-called confidence, you are actually disregarding the lives of countless people."

"Tiger King Farm, that's equivalent to a human main city; conservatively estimated, there are at least one hundred thousand people."

"Once war breaks out there, it will definitely be a bloodbath."

"Coupled with our own soldiers' losses, this is simply an incredibly absurd proposal."

"I support Radho's plan, which can minimize our losses."

"Population is also a crucial resource in the New World and must not be easily given up."

Facing Ismail's rebuttal, Adolf snorted coldly and said, "Womanly compassion."

"Those who betrayed America and threw themselves into the Tiger King's embrace cannot be called Americans at all."

"The more of them die, the better, preferably all of them, to prove to the world how foolish it is to betray humanity and embrace Awakened Beasts."

"As for the deaths of our soldiers?"

"As soon as they became soldiers and enjoyed the benefits and treatment of soldiers, they should have been prepared to dedicate everything to America."

"They are heroes, and they died a worthy death."

"Such heroic acts deserve encouragement, not denial."

"Ismail, put away your ridiculous remarks."

"Such willful statements will only make us feel that you are not suitable to be in this conference room."

Adolf's reprimand infuriated Ismail, who immediately retorted sarcastically, "Heroes? Died a worthy death?"

"Those two light-hearted sentences, yet they decide the life and death of countless people; they are extremely heavy."

"You are truly cold-blooded and ruthless, to speak of the lives and deaths of so many people so lightly."

"Alright, aren't you saying you want to be a hero, to die a worthy death?"

"As long as all of you who proposed this plan personally participate in this battle, I will agree to this plan three hundred percent."

"If the Tiger King were one of those cruel, bloodthirsty Awakened Beasts that only knew how to mindlessly expand its territory, I would absolutely support your proposal."

"But the Tiger King is different; I think peaceful coexistence might be the best option."

"Tiger King Farm has grown strong enough to be self-sufficient and doesn't need us to provide much food at all."

"Even the focus of trade has shifted from food to other types of resources."

"We can completely treat it as an ordinary city."

"Or choose Radho's proposal, I can accept either."

Hearing this, Oslo couldn't hold back and burst out, "Foolish, absolutely foolish to the extreme."

"What on earth made you come up with the absurd idea of peaceful coexistence with an Awakened Beast?"

"I know this is just your excuse; you're just feeling sorry for those living in Tiger King Farm."

"But since they've already joined Tiger King Farm, they must be prepared to die."

"Humans and Awakened Beasts have never had the possibility of peaceful coexistence."

...As the two sides continuously clashed, this debate became increasingly intense.

However, to Ismail's utter despair, those who supported him and Radho were very few.

The vast majority believed that a splendid victory should be used to declare to the entire Blue Star.

To declare America's hegemonic status.

To declare that America was still the invincible Lord of the Blue Star!

Seeing this, Ismail could only look at MacArthur for help.

Although the discussion was fierce now, it was ultimately this five-star general who would make the decision.

Seemingly sensing Ismail's gaze, MacArthur cleared his throat and said, "Enough, the discussion has been sufficient."

"Please raise your hands to vote on whose proposal you support."

"The plan with more votes will be implemented."

A show of hands?

How ridiculous a decision-making method; how could it be used in a meeting deciding the future destiny of all America?

Moreover, when did America ever adopt such a democratic approach to making decisions?

Unless the outcome of this resolution had already been determined before the vote.

The decision-maker's thoughts and the so-called "democracy" were inherently aligned!

As expected, the final vote result was undoubtedly in favor of Adolf and Oslo's proposal: to launch a thunderous strike against Tiger King Farm.

To completely destroy the shadow that loomed over America's land. (End of Chapter)
