The bird-headed robot, located directly beneath the "Leg Axe," was violently smashed into the ravine, sinking several meters deep and getting stuck between hard rocks.
"Slaughter Beam!"
In a fit of rage, the bird-headed robot's tightly closed metal beak head suddenly split in half, revealing a laser emitter inside that immediately glowed with a bluish-black light.
In an instant.
Hong Yi quickly dodged to the side. A bluish-black Slaughter Beam grazed his ear and shot into the blue sky.
"GT Robot!!"
Hong Yi looked at the bird-headed robot in the earth fissure, his gaze icy, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Ruiyama Shizuno at a distance.
That's right.
This bird-headed robot was the GT Robot developed by the Gourmet Corporation.
Its prototype was the ancient creature Nitro!
From its mechanical body to the fur covering its surface, it was built with extremely expensive and extremely durable materials.
It could withstand strong corrosion, extreme cold, and high temperatures, making it capable of serving the Gourmet Corporation in perilous situations, like climbing mountains of knives, descending into fiery abysses, and venturing into all kinds of dangerous and secluded regions to capture high-level ingredients!
In the early stages of "Toriko," the GT Robot was an extremely formidable and troublesome adversary.
"You little punk! How dare you interfere with my capture!"
The GT Robot roared in anger, unleashing terrifying power, breaking free from the rock's grip. Leaping up, it spun in mid-air, transforming into a spinning silver gyroscope.
Skinning Shot!!
Suddenly.
This GT Robot became like a humanoid sun, its entire body radiating silver light beams like a torrential downpour, sweeping across the surrounding area.
This was a group attack, with a large coverage area.
Hong Yi roared softly, his foot stamping on the ground. A massive, thick slab of rock immediately rose up, blocking in front of him.
After a while.
The thick, hard rock slab was shot to pieces, and a high-speed rotating fist punched through the broken rock slab, aiming for Hong Yi.
"Bone-Drilling Spiral Fist!"
The GT Robot roared again.
The iron fist, transformed into a drill, carrying terrifying force, like a silver dragon emerging from the abyss, attacked Hong Yi's chest.
Hong Yi's pupils contracted sharply. He let out a low shout, his hands instantly grabbing the GT Robot's arm, acting like iron clamps, tightly grasping it, preventing the Bone-Drilling Spiral Fist from hitting him.
Despite this.
The force and energy contained in the fist still exploded on Hong Yi.
In an instant, Hong Yi's shirt was shredded, and behind him, a white horizontal tornado was created. The air swirled wildly, rushing into the forest, sending bushes flying.
The GT Robot failed with one attack and prepared to unleash its Bone-Drilling Spiral Fist with its other hand.
"Hey!"
"Don't get too cocky!"
Hong Yi glared angrily, his head tilting back, and then he slammed his head against the GT Robot's metal bird head.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of metal striking stone.
Hong Yi's forehead was actually harder than titanium alloy.
With one headbutt, he temporarily disabled the GT Robot, but his forehead was now bleeding profusely.
Taking advantage of this brief moment.
Hong Yi opened his eyes wide, unleashing all his energy, maximizing the potential of his body.
On his strong back, the muscles rearranged, transforming into... a terrifying devil's face.
Demon Back!
Open!!
At this moment, his adrenaline surged!
At this moment, the shackles of his body's self-defense mechanisms were broken!
At this moment, the originally parallel muscle fibers exploded in density, like countless steel wires twisting into strands of strong steel, capable of briefly unleashing and withstanding a violent force far exceeding normal conditions.
At this moment, Hong Yi's body became like a twelve-cylinder engine running at full throttle, erupting with thousands of horsepower.
Normally, Hong Yi's punch force was 8,000 KG.
With the Demon Back activated, Hong Yi's strength surged instantly, soaring to 80,000 KG.
A terrifying force of 80 tons!
"Shatter for me!"
Hong Yi, who was grasping the GT Robot's arms, suddenly opened his eyes wide, took a deep breath, clenched his ten fingers, and erupted with a terrifying grip strength. With a "crack" sound, he crushed the GT Robot's arm.
"Pop."
Hong Yi forcefully tore off the GT Robot's arm, which was sparking with electricity, and used its own weapon against it, thrusting the still-spinning drill fist towards the GT Robot's body.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle."
The GT Robot trembled violently, the drill colliding with the ultra-strong metal body, creating a dazzling shower of sparks.
The disabled GT Robot reconnected and prepared to open its bird head.
"Did I give you permission to open your mouth?"
Hong Yi roared domineeringly, casually discarding the GT Robot's severed arm. With both hands, he slammed them together forcefully, violently closing the bird head's beak that had just opened.
"You..."
The GT Robot angrily yelled, preparing to use another attack.
With the Demon Back activated, Hong Yi wouldn't let it get away. He directly clenched his fist, the muscles in his right arm swelled violently, like they were storing unimaginable power.
"Grit your teeth and enjoy this punch."
"Five-Hit Drilling Fist!!"
Hong Yi's violent right fist slammed into the GT Robot's abdomen.
"Bang!"
A white, blinding wave of energy exploded outward.
This silver-grey GT Robot, like shattered pebbles, was forcefully thrown into the air.
Before it could react.
Five heavy and treacherous hidden forces, directly ignoring the ultra-strong metal shell, exploded within the GT Robot's body.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
One after another, round white energy waves bloomed from the GT Robot's abdomen, like the multi-stage propulsion of a rocket, pushing the GT Robot higher and higher, until it finally exploded like fireworks in the blue sky, its broken parts falling to the ground.
Hong Yi, in his Demon Back state, had a tenfold increase in strength instantly.
8 tons of punch force.
Turned into 80 tons of punch force!
Adding in the stacking of the Five-Hit Drilling Fist's hidden force.
A total of 400 tons of punch force raged wildly within the GT Robot. It was a miracle if it didn't break down.
After destroying the GT Robot.
Hong Yi immediately ended his Demon Back mode. The highly tensed muscle fibers all over his body were on the verge of breaking.
And the execution of the Five-Hit Drilling Fist had also consumed all of the 400,000 kilocalories of energy he had stored in his body.
In short.
He didn't even have the strength to clench his fist now, he was completely helpless.
"Demon Back is truly domineering. The total time from start to finish, including the preparation, was only 2 seconds."
"2 seconds!"
"If I activated it for even 1 second longer, my body would have broken down."
Hong Yi thought to himself, feeling apprehensive.
On the other side.
Ruiyama Shizuno, who was hiding behind a tree, first froze, then was horrified, and finally erupted into hysterical laughter.
"Hahaha, heaven helps me, it truly helps me!"
"Hong Yi!"
"You really are incredible. You managed to deal with such a terrifying robot."
"If we were competing fairly, in the Gourmet Fight, ten of me wouldn't be your match."
"But!"
Ruiyama Shizuno paused, raised his middle finger, pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, and said, with a mixture of joy and arrogance, "It's a matter of fate, you see."
"No matter how strong you are."
"Bad luck, you end up both wounded, and in the end, I'm the one who benefits from your loss!"
"This is called food luck, got it? Next life, remember to go pay your respects at the Gourmet Shrine!"
"Heh… Hahaha…"
He was too happy.
He was too proud.
The expressive Ruiyama Shizuno's face contorted.
"Shut up."
Hong Yi uttered two words emotionlessly.
He casually picked up the GT Robot's severed head, pried open the metal beak, and aimed it at Ruiyama Shizuno, who was laughing triumphantly.
"Whiz."
A bluish-black Slaughter Beam shot out, cutting through the air, instantly piercing Ruiyama Shizuno's throat.
