In Yun You's mind, dopamine meant to relieve pain was secreted wildly, but it still could not fully block the pain.

She felt she had been cautious enough, but the power of energy weapons still exceeded her expectations.

With things as they were, she could only place her hopes on the Red Scale Scimitar.

But she still felt uneasy inside.

The Red Scale Scimitar was very hard, but Taishui's laser could burn through at least 1000 millimeters of steel, even an ordinary main battle tank probably couldn't withstand a strike from it.

Could Master Zero be harder than a tank's main armor?

Yun You herself didn't know, she could only try...

The waiting was torturous, even just seconds felt as long as years.

Yun You understood Taishui's charging speed was fast, for the next laser, it was just a matter of two seconds.

And indeed that was the case.

Quickly, Taishui completed its charging action, began to take deep breaths in preparation to unleash energy in an instant.

But at this moment, another wave of attack preemptively struck.

"Da...da...da...!"

The muffled sound of metal echoed in mid-air.

Stripped tungsten armor-piercing bullets, carrying green tracer flames, poured onto Taishui's body.

It was Jack.

Seeing Yun You wounded, Jack could no longer care about conserving ammunition.

All the rifles and cannons at the weapons station fired simultaneously in an instant.

And he himself roared at Taishui.

"Fool! Look at me here!"

The angry shout immediately caught Taishui's attention.

The giant monster was startled at first and then angrily turned, pointing the big mouth in its belly at the running Jack.

Before, Taishui never paid much attention to the others in the team, only targeting the strongest, Yun You.

Perhaps in its view, this Apprentice Death God was the greatest threat, in the entire squad, only Yun You had the ability to threaten its life.

But now, the full-firepower Jack made it feel irritable.

If the gunfire continued unabated, it would inevitably be injured.

Since Yun You had already lost the ability to move from a single laser hit, then next, it could simply use another laser to finish off the mercenaries, saving itself further trouble.

After all, the mercenaries did not have a Red Scale Scimitar or the agile body movements of the Apprentice Death God; hit by a laser, death was almost guaranteed.

Hence, it shifted its focus.

And this... was exactly what Jack wanted.

He stood boldly to attract Taishui's attention, thus buying time for Yun You to recover while executing his plan.

Of course, Taishui, unaware of his intentions.

Having charged enough, it opened its mouth, ready to fire its laser.

"Anti-Gravity Field, full power—"

At this moment, the previously silent Frost Moon suddenly intervened, and the Anti-Gravity Field Control Chip in her mind instantly activated.

An invisible force field appeared, applied to Taishui.

Even though this small chip couldn't suppress such a colossal monster, it caused its body to sway slightly.

And this slight sway granted Jack a crucial 0.5 seconds.

The mercenary leaped up, climbing onto Taishui's flesh, then pulled out a portable missile launcher from somewhere, aiming at the glowing blue belly mouth and fired!

Jack acted so decisively, without a trace of hesitation, that even Taishui failed to react in time.

When it realized the danger, the petite missile had already darted into its body, encountering the laser energy!

Then...

Boom!!!

The missile's explosion destabilized the laser energy, combining with the gunpowder to trigger a remarkable explosion!

Although Taishui sensed the danger a moment earlier, used part of its laser energy to push the missile out a few inches, preventing a core explosion, while suppressing the explosion's power...

Yet, this blast still blew its flesh apart, half of its body turned into pulp!

Naturally, Jack didn't fare much better.

He was too close to the blast point, even with prior defensive preparation, he was still thrown dozens of meters away and slammed heavily onto the ground.

Fortunately, the protection from the nanometer Vajra bone resulted in his internal organs not suffering substantial damage, just his arm burnt to charcoal.

However, this wasn't much of a problem... having implanted the nanometer Vajra bone, his skin and muscles had already been replaced with artificially cultivated prosthetic body tissue, without much pain, and even if entirely destroyed, it wouldn't touch his essence.

"Chica!"

He couldn't care about attending to his own injuries, stumbling to Yun You's side after landing.

"...you're seriously hurt."

Just by glancing, he frowned, perceiving Yun You's dire condition, he promptly took out medical spray, applying it to the girl's wounds.

"Rushing in alone is too dangerous, next time, don't have us all positioned behind while you go probing by yourself, okay?"

"With you acting like this... if something happens, we simply can't support you in time."

The mercenary's voice carried a faint tone of reproach.

Though it was reproach, it sounded more like concern.

"..."

Yun You didn't respond, yet felt a bit happy inside.

Indeed, she had always been accustomed to being alone, even hiring teammates, gaining partners hadn't changed this mindset.

She would subconsciously feel that teammates were unreliable, so the toughest tasks could only be accomplished by herself.

But now, evidently, she was mistaken.

She wasn't fighting alone, at least not now.

Trying to trust partners might be something she should learn.

She was about to say something, but Master Zero couldn't hold back and spoke first.

[Damn it...]

[Taishui, a scum that doesn't even have a body of its own, relies on parasitism to maintain existence...]

[Dared... dared to injure my master to such an extent...]

[Damn it!]

Master Zero didn't hide the anger in its tone.

It felt like it was about to explode.

[Yun...]

[Just now, I found a new technique in my memory, it can significantly change my form]

[This technique has a large consumption, initially, I didn't plan to use it]

[But I am unhappy now... a bastard, dares to go to this extent, then don't blame me]

[Now, listen to me, extend your hand, and silently chant the word "Gun"]

Hearing this, Yun You was slightly startled, not fully understanding why Master Zero was so angry, nor comprehending what this supposed "technique" was.

But out of the trust she had for her partner, the little girl followed through.

She slightly raised her palm, extending the Red Scale Scimitar, then murmuring...

"Gun!"

In the next moment, the Red Scale Scimitar transformed swiftly into a red flaming light, changing shape.

Within two seconds, it completed its transformation.

This time... its form was neither claw nor blade.

But a dark, hollow... cannon-like "Gun"...

Master Zero gritted its teeth, speaking word by word...

[I'm going to give it a damn shot!]
