Extra And MC-Chapter 157 - 153 - Stopping The Railgun

’How were they even able to build something this crazy without The Tower noticing…’ Aiden thought to himself as he realized that these tunnels would probably run through the entirety of Flenor Islands.

He was quite visibly perplexed by the entire structure and so was Flynn.

However, the latter quickly shook off his perplexity and began to tap his smartwatch.

"13 minutes and 42 seconds till the darn weapon fires. Let’s go destroy it." Flynn said to his brother while setting a timer on his watch based on the last countdown he had heard from the automated voice.

"How do we find it though? We have no idea which direction we are from under here" Aiden commented and Flynn instantly replied while raising his nano-band.

"That’s where Ivar’s heat-sensor detection function comes in!"

Nodding in approval at his brother’s sound reasoning, especially since this originally wasn’t what they had even planned to use it for, they both activated the function on the band, grateful they had asked for Ivar to implement the function.

Immediately, a radar appeared like a holographic screen atop their hands and after a few more seconds of searching, it instantly pointed them in the direction of The Railgun.

Glancing over at each other with another nod, both brothers instantly dashed forwards in the direction given to them at a blurring speed.

-Swooosssh!!!

Considering they also couldn’t spread mana sense far enough to cover the entirety of Flenor Islands, using the heat sensor detector was the best option for them.

Now though, as they kept dashing, 12 minutes and 49 seconds now present on the timer, Aiden inwardly commented.

’Not fast enough…’

Having a few ideas running through his head for a few more seconds, the youth suddenly spoke to his younger brother loudly.

"Do you think you can keep up with effects of [Grav Boost] constantly?"

"I should be able to! Why do you ask?" Flynn asked with a curious expression, his hair fluttering backwards.

And then his curious expression instantly changed into a frown and deepened!

"Wait! You’re not planning to-"

Before Flynn could even complete his statement, Aiden had grabbed onto his hands and without warning, Flynn felt like he became completely weightless.

-BOOM!

Like a sonic boom prepped to blast through the sound barrier, Aiden, along with his brother whom he grabbed, completely disappeared like a speedy mirage.

But in actuality, it was just because the naked eye couldn’t even keep up with such an immense speed!

As this phenomenon occurred for about a minute more, Aiden and Flynn soon reappeared and stopped right before a humongous machinery.

Staring at the deadly weapon the height of the Abyssal Shadowmaw they had fought about thirty minutes ago, which was also as wide as a very small island, both brothers just kept gazing at it warily for a few more seconds.

The Railgun, a technological marvel and a weapon of utter destruction, stood before them in all its gargantuan glory!

Its multiple thick rings which surrounded its supersized expanse, hummed mechanically as they rapidly spun while charging up the wide expansive canon, akin to a stadium’s circular dome placed atop its head.

Wide circular metallic panels also made up of ridiculously strong metals of absolute titanium, jutted out like the wings of a plane at intervals from all of its sides.

Some transparent metallic pipes akin to drills, kept churning downwards while sucking up what seemed to magma from the outer core of the earth and sending it into the machine.

Wires from the modified train tracks it was screwed onto with large metallic wheels of its own, connected to it in multiple places, powering the drills that continuously kept churning downwards.

In the middle of it all also, was the Eclipsian Prism, spinning like no tomorrow, poised to harness the heat that was extracted, sent up to it, amplified, purified and then released into a pure destructive ray of nova-white energy.

Gazing at the machinery that had terrorized the entirety of Flenor Island for the past one and half hours, Aiden and Flynn realized that the Monolith had really outdone themselves with such a terrifyingly massive weapon.

But more than that, was the singular warning plastered on the side of The Railgun which read; Destroy me and I’ll explode like fucking nuclear bomb (Smiley Face)!

Although Aiden and Flynn shouldn’t have known who specifically did this, it didn’t take them a single second to guess who it was.

’Magnus Emberclaw!’ they both inwardly declared, knowing fully well this wasn’t too far off from his persona.

Staring at The Railgun, unsure of whether to just destroy it and actually risk creating an irreversible nuclear explosion, both brothers were forced to deal with another dilemma.

This was more so because they understood that they were probably just right underneath a portion of the cerulean sea which was quite close to the sands of the beach, basically entailing that the Aquamaris was nearby too.

But more than that, both brothers weren’t keen on dying again anytime soon.

However, as the timer now only had seven minutes on the countdown to spare, Aiden simply walked over to The Railgun, took a deep breath and then, crouched under one of its expansively wide metallic circular panels.

Realizing what his elder brother was about to do, Flynn also inwardly concluded that this was probably the safest and even quite possibly, the best option they had.

Uprooting the entire machinery from its very roots!

Since they couldn’t risk destroying the weapon as they pleased, they could at least stop it from going kaboom!

-Sigh…

"We’re definitely not right in the head me and you…" Flynn tiredly sighed and commented as he walked over, to which Aiden just lightly smiled at.

With a deep exhale, Flynn also crouched over on the other side of the exceedingly wide panel and instantly, Aiden began to call out.

"One. Two. Push!"

-Creak…

As both brother willed all of the mana they had into their entire beings, they augmented their entire bodies, granting them super strength, far above what they usually had.

In addition to that, Aiden instantly multi-casted [Reversal] to take flight and [Suction] above the top of the Railgun itself, hoping to add more force to the push they were both exerting on it!

This was also a very similar tactic he had used when he had been battling against Sigrun and considering that had gotten him out of the pinch he was in back then, he hoped this would help again too.

Flynn on the other hand though, activated [Ether Blades] and retrieved all of his mana slates, positioning them just parallel to and underneath the panel they were both pushing to further add more force to their push!

"Again! One. Two. Push!" Aiden chanted again and both brothers pushed again with all their might!

’Come on you hunk of metal! Move dammit!’ Flynn inwardly shouted while following his brother’s lead again.

-Creak…

"Push!!" Aiden bellowed again, his voice loudly echoing through the expansively wide and empty underground tunnels.

"Hmgh!!" Flynn grunted slightly as his muscles began to contract the more he exerted a forceful push upwards.

So much was counting on their heads at this moment and they both knew!

A lot their loved ones were currently just a few meters above and away from them, minutes away from being disintegrated into cosmic dusts and they needed to stop it from happening!

They weren’t just sent to this world to have it easy and they knew it. They had a responsibility they felt was imperative on them.

But even far from that, they had both realized that even far heavier tasks would be placed on their shoulders in the future.

They had worked so hard to find the railgun. To destroy it!

Now it was here, right before their eyes!

All they needed to do was completely uproot it and everything would be peaceful again.

A lot of deaths would also be reversed and some future events would also drastically change!

It didn’t matter if they had the strength or not!

They had to do it no matter what!

Even if that meant they would push far past their limits and exhaust themselves to oblivion.

’There’s no way we are going to lose now!!!’ both brothers inwardly declared with a burning resolution in their eyes and once again, they kept pushing with all their might!

-Creak…

"Push!!!" Aiden roared again, sweat constantly dripping down his face!

"Haaa!!!" Flynn voiced in response while pushing as hard as he possibly could, following his brother’s mark!

-Creak… Tang!

One singular bolt flew out of one part of the modified train tracks The Railgun was attached to.

Noticing this, Aiden and Flynn kept pushing with all their might while letting out roaring shouts that echoed throughout the vast expanse of the tunnels.

-Creak… Tang!!

Another bolt instantly removed and both brothers didn’t even mind it and just kept pushing!

Although they were now getting physically and mentally exhausted, all along with their rapidly depleting mana levels, the brothers never gave up and just continued pushing.

Five minutes was now left on the timer but they couldn’t be bothered to focus on it.

However, it didn’t mean they weren’t getting more and more desperate by the second as they heard its beeps after each minute passed.

As both brothers kept pushing, currently unknown to them, a certain, indescribable change slowly began to take place in their bodies.

Flynn’s aquamarine green eyes were slowly changing into a deep shade of blue while the roots of the whorls of Aiden’s shiny black hair, slowly began to turn snow white, gradually spreading to the rest of his hair.

As of this moment, currently unknown to the youths still, Flynn was going straight from low-tier A-rank to mid-tier S-rank while Aiden was jumping from low-tier S-rank to low-tier SS-rank!

More bolts and screws kept popping out of their drilled parts as the creaking machine kept getting slowly removed from its very roots.

-POP! POP!! POP!!!

-TANG! TANG!! TANG!!!

And then, as if a surge of energy coursed through their entire beings out of nowhere, The Railgun which they had been trying so hard to uproot, was instantly torn apart from its mechanical roots with a powerful burst of strength!

-BOOM!!!

Unable to even understand what was going on, both brothers just kept pushing with all their might as they had been doing and soon, completely tore through the many layers of the underground section they were in while making their way upwards, straight to the top of the beach.
