Galactic Wolf vs Zeus

"Zero Health Points," Reia announced urgently, just as the system automatically activated the Galactic Wolf Phase. In an instant, Podbe began to transform. His body expanded to colossal proportions, taking on the form of a giant wolf. But this time, something was different: four crescent moons glowed on his forehead, radiating an overwhelming energy. He let out a thunderous howl that resonated like a clap of lightning, disabling nearby machines. Without wasting a moment, he lunged directly at Milo, who was still locked in a fierce battle with Adia.

Podbe rammed into Milo with impressive speed, clamping down on him with his massive fangs and pinning him by the abdomen. "Damn it! What is this? I didn't think he'd be this strong," Milo growled, struggling to break free as he pounded the wolf's jaw with all his might. "Now I see why the guardian struggled against this form of the dog... Let me go, you damn beast!"

But Podbe didn't let go. Instead, he shook Milo like a ragdoll and hurled him through the air, sending him crashing violently into several walls along the way. The impact was devastating, leaving craters at every point of contact.

"Damn wolf-dog! Let's see if you can handle my AURA power!" Milo roared, activating Form Three. He charged at Podbe with his most powerful attack: the AURA Dragon. "Got you!" he shouted, confident in his victory. But instead of exploding or collapsing, Podbe simply burped, leaving Milo gaping in disbelief.

"How is this possible? The AURA didn't do anything... Is this creature pure energy in that form?" Milo wondered aloud, bewildered, as he stared at the galactic wolf with a mix of fear and fascination.

Among the spectators: "Wow, kid, your dog is amazing," Eduard commented, looking at Aiden with admiration. "Yes..." Aiden replied softly, though his tone carried a note of concern. "But I don't know if he'll recognize us in this form... Remember last time." "Yeah, when he ate you and Reia had to come out with you," Billy recalled with a nervous chuckle. "It's similar to the boss's materialization ability," Maria added, crossing her arms. "No doubt you're his grandson." "That's right," Aiden said thoughtfully. "But being inside Podbe in this form is different from sharing his mental space. It's like he's in his most primal state..." Azulema, watching the children from afar, felt a sudden maternal impulse. "These little ones are adorable," she thought, resisting the urge to pinch their cheeks. However, the seriousness of the situation made her hold back, especially when she noticed Adia's piercing gaze fixed on the back of her head, as if evaluating every move she made near her grandson.

The Battle Continues:

The Galactic Wolf continued to dominate Milo, tossing him around mercilessly without giving him a moment's rest. It was like watching a predator toy with its prey, humiliating him with every movement. "Damn it, let me go, you beast!" Milo shouted, desperately trying to shield himself from Podbe's brutal attacks.

"Well, I guess I don't need to fight anymore," Adia thought, observing as the wolf completely took control of the situation.

Suddenly, Podbe unleashed a devastating attack: star-shaped lightning bolts shot out from his body, slicing through Milo's skin like razor-sharp blades. Then, he opened his massive jaws and fired a Super Ray, sending the villain flying an unimaginable distance.

"Podbe, you've already won. Stop, my friend," Aiden said, slowly approaching the wolf. But to everyone's surprise, Podbe opened his enormous maw and swallowed Aiden in one gulp.

"He ate Aiden again!" Billy exclaimed, visibly frightened.

"Hey, that wolf is wild! He ate his own friend! How scary!" Benjamin shouted, his voice trembling as his wide eyes stared at the Galactic Wolf with a mix of awe and panic.

"Yes, but you have me to protect you," Riota responded, stepping forward in a protective gesture. Though his tone was firm, his hands trembled slightly, betraying the knot of fear growing inside him.

"Amaya," Floud called, timidly approaching her with hesitant steps. His voice was barely a whisper, as if he feared the Galactic Wolf might hear him.

"Hello, little one," Amaya replied warmly, crouching slightly to meet him at eye level. "Help me, I don't want the wolf to eat me," the boy pleaded, clutching her arm tightly.

Amaya smiled sweetly and created a candy by bringing her hands together. "Don't worry, I'll protect you," she assured him, handing over the sweet treat. The child accepted the candy with trembling hands and seemed to calm down a little, though his eyes remained wary.

However, as soon as he saw the girls from Squad C approaching, Floud quickly hid behind Amaya, clinging to her leg. "Bad women," he muttered under his breath.

"Podbe gave your brother quite the beating," Gat said to Drake with an ironic smile.

"Well, I think there was a certain chance you could've beaten him," Eduard commented to Drake, shrugging. "But after he attacked you with that AURA power... Well, there was no way."

"I think if we keep going like this, we'll fulfill what the general said," Drake reflected, though his tone grew more agitated as he continued. "But I'm not handing over Aiden now that I know he's my grandson."

"You'd better not," Adia responded firmly, shooting him a warning glare that made Drake shiver slightly.

Both turned in alarm as they saw the Galactic Wolf swallow Aiden without warning.

"Why did he do that?" Leila asked, visibly frightened, as she watched the massive wolf with apprehension.

"Calm down, he did it last time too," Maria interjected, trying to ease the tension. "Aiden will be fine," Elena added confidently, though her eyes betrayed a hint of concern.

"Wow! This is pure gold," Melisa exclaimed, excitement bubbling beneath her words. "Too bad the technology doesn't work here."

"Well, based on what happened earlier, I brought this old camera," Creg explained, holding a sturdy device in his hands. "It can film because it's analog and isn't affected by that howl."

"Yes, fools, but how are you going to broadcast anything if all the people are under the control of the machines thanks to that mad scientist?" Michele pointed out with a mix of sarcasm and frustration, crossing her arms.

"You're right," Philip agreed, as Choy nodded in agreement.

"Well, at least we'll have evidence," Melisa added with a shrug, trying to find some silver lining in the situation.

"Perhaps we should find that scientist and deactivate the machine causing all this chaos in the world," the professor suggested, looking at the others seriously. His tone implied it was the logical first step, though no one seemed to have any idea how to carry it out.

"Yeah? But does anyone here know how to do that?" Creg asked, raising an eyebrow skeptically. Everyone exchanged uncertain glances before responding in unison: "No."

"We're useless here," Akira declared sadly, removing the armor that had been deactivated by the power of the Galactic Wolf. Without it, his childlike appearance was revealed: a freckled face, bright green eyes, and curly orange hair that gave him a mischievous air.

"And who are you?" Megumi asked, slowly recovering from the blow Milo had dealt her moments earlier.

"He's my foolish apprentice, Akira. Don't you recognize that voice?" Rafael teased, ruffling the boy's hair with a mocking smile. "It's because he uses a voice distorter," he added, as if that explained everything.

"Well, with the device he uses to distort it, he'd never take it off. So... this is what you really look like," Megumi said.

Megumi looked at him curiously before smiling kindly. "You're cute," she commented, tilting her head slightly.

Akira blushed instantly, his cheeks turning crimson as he averted his gaze and turned his face to hide his embarrassment. His hands trembled slightly, and his discomfort was palpable, as if he wasn't used to receiving such direct compliments.

"The only one who's useless here is you, Akira. You still need to learn how to create your own metal so you can fight, lazy apprentice," Rafael scolded sternly.

"Don't be so hard on the boy," Adrian interrupted, giving Rafael a reproachful look. "I'm sorry, sir," Rafael quickly apologized, lowering his head.

Adrian approached Akira and, with a kind gesture, handed him a laser pistol that he materialized on the spot. "Here, take this."

"What kind of person gives a weapon to a child?" Azulema protested, crossing her arms in clear annoyance. Adrian looked embarrassed and quickly muttered an apology. "I've never seen the master act like this," Rafael thought to himself, surprised by his mentor's uncommon reaction.

When Azulema looked over at Akira, she couldn't help but feel a sudden maternal impulse. She approached the boy and began gently pinching his cheeks, leaving them red.

"Get away from me, lady! I'm not your kid!" Akira protested, quickly darting behind Megumi to hide.

"Maybe you can go with Megumi and search for the source to deactivate the appliances controlling people worldwide," someone suggested.

"Yes, let's go," Akira replied with determination. Together with Megumi, who used her earth magic to open a hole in the ground, they quickly descended into the opening. The gap closed behind them, enveloping them in momentary darkness as they disappeared in search of the source.

"At least the boss let me go for a minute," Mark sighed from his position, though the girls from Squad C continued to guard him. He simply put on a face that said, "Well, at least it was a moment of peace."

"Wow, what a ladies' man that guy is. I wish I were him right now," Gat remarked with an ironic smile, glancing toward where Mark was surrounded by the girls from his squad. Mukio, who had barely managed to get up after being struck, let out a forced chuckle as he rubbed his sore side. Gat's observation seemed to strike a comedic chord with him, though the pain still made him wince.

Meanwhile, a group of women couldn't stop showering compliments on those present. "What beautiful girls," they told Maria and Elena, causing both to blush intensely. However, the jokes didn't end there. "But you're also a handsome boy," they said to Billy, who received a flurry of cheek-pinches from Rachel and Ada.

"What's wrong with these women?" Billy muttered, visibly dizzy and confused. "I think they need to have kids," María joked, though she herself seemed to sway slightly, as if the situation was too surreal even for them.

Amidst the chaos, the Galactic Wolf remained motionless, seated at the center of the battlefield. Its eyes were closed, but its body radiated constant energy, alert to any movement or threat. Despite its apparent calm, its presence was imposing, like a silent guardian ready to act at any moment.

From a distant corner, Milo observed with restrained fury. His face was contorted in pain, but his eyes gleamed with determination. "Damn dog... You've humiliated me. I never thought I'd feel such pain despite being so strong," he growled under his breath. "That's why you'll be the first to fall."

Milo communicated with Maos through his earpiece, his voice sharp and authoritative. At the other end, Maos was busy manipulating controls on his console, his fingers flying over the panel as he adjusted parameters with precision.

"Maos, initiate the second phase of my plan," Milo ordered, his tone making it clear that he would tolerate no objections.

"Now, sir? But we haven't fully tested it yet," Maos responded, visibly nervous. His voice trembled as he adjusted some buttons on the panel.

"Yes, now! It's time to see if everything works properly," Milo commanded firmly, ignoring his assistant's warnings. The pain in his body seemed to fuel his desire for revenge, making his tone more authoritative and ruthless.
