The giant monstrous bird suddenly crashed into the Twin Towers with the impact of dozens of Boeing 767s hitting at once.
The Twin Towers exploded at the waist, and the Giant Beast rolled half a kiloter on the ground before gradually coming to a stop. The monstrous bird slowly oozed blood all over its body. It was also hard in the crash, but the imnse toughness from its massive size allowed it to pull through.
Thick black smoke ascended from the Twin Towers. Even though the building was made of super alloy concrete and served as the political center of the world, where both designers and veteran civil engineers risked their lives to bolster its strength to ensure its safety.
Yet, even so, the two connected towers were almost severed as if struck by a Space Slash, leaving only a few non-load-bearing structures forcibly holding the building together, visibly shaky and on the brink of collapse, gradually tilting in the thick smoke and raging flas, about to plumt to the ground.
The connecting structure of the Twin Towers started to collapse, and the next mont, like the last straw that broke the cal's back, as they collided, they plunged toward the ground.
On the ground, countless people scread in terror and scrambled away. They knew that whether it was the Giant Beast that had just stood up or the half-collapsed Twin Towers about to fall, both could easily take human lives.
The falling buildings, along with the impact and debris, would obliterate the surrounding comrcial street.
The lantations of won and children, the breakdown of order...
But suddenly, a dense fog instantly enshrouded the Twin Towers, and a giant beast, so imnse it could block out the sky, extended its hand to catch the tottering building. Even though the building was several tis its height, that colossal hand effortlessly secured it in place, gently laying it down on the ground.
Inside the building, countless terrified congressn found themselves face to face with the giant beast through just a layer of glass. Their panic and fear filled their hearts completely, but when the beast placed the broken part in the square's center—stacked against the lower half as if assembling toy blocks for stability—they felt alive again.
The joy of surviving disaster intertwined with the fear of being so close to the giant beast caused every congressman to feel a suffocating sense of oxygen deprivation, unsure if it was the sulfur's effect or the exhaustion of adrenaline depletion.
But, they were saved, even if it was by a giant beast. The goodwill toward the creature that rescued them clashed with their inherent aversion, creating complex emotions deep within their hearts. This mixture of gratitude and loathing, like continuously breaking past restraints, filled them with a sense of profound moral transgression and corruption.
"Quickly organize evacuation and retreat!" The head congressman finally regained his composure. As a Tier Two Spiritual Ability User, he had a stronger constitution than the others and imdiately ordered action after the initial shock.
"Where is His Excellency the Monarch?" soone asked.
But at this ti, both Xue Dili and the three little ones had left the assembly hall. Realizing this brought no results, they had to evacuate.
However, as congressn, the sudden disappearance of the Monarch and the abrupt appearance of Zero Super Beast led them to make many conjectures. Though these seed baseless now, future intelligence and investigation might repeatedly lead them to suspect this possibility.
On the comrcial street, countless people were also shocked watching this scene. None could believe that the Giant Beast wasn't here to destroy but to protect the fractured building.
"Zero Super Beast, protecting the building..." Witnessing this, they were stunned beyond words.
Even though it was a casual act, this mont nearly shattered their established perceptions. Moreover, what left them bewildered was how this giant beast seed to appear suddenly, with no warning; it wasn't descending from the sky, nor erging from the ground. Rather, it was as if a human, suddenly ignoring the law of conservation of mass, transford into a nearly ten-thousand-ton monstrous creature.
Zero Super Beast, with scales and spikes akin to tal plates, appeared in such a way. Across it, the sixty-ter monstrous bird seed, for a mont, to have t its nesis.
It flapped its wings frantically to take flight, even if injured, as the terror and pressure exerted from the top of the food chain forced it to squeeze its body desperately.
Escape! Escape!
The wings of the monstrous bird fluttered; it imdiately took to the skies, flying out of the city. As long as it left the ground, as long as it left here, it would be safe…
The next mont, the monstrous bird was vertically split into two…
A second earlier, on the ground, Zero Super Beast wielded a rotating Light Wheel, hurling it ferociously. The Light Wheel sliced through and delineated a perfect golden arc in the air, skimming past the monstrous bird and vanished into the unknown distance.
The monstrous bird flapped in the sky, only to be split vertically into two. Its viscera and blood rained down, casting a hideous, decaying flesh shower upon the district below.
In just one second, the exceedingly short span of ti, the bisected corpse of another beast now fell onto a nearby building.
People stared in shock at this scene, forgetting to flee, forgetting the imminent danger of this stereotypically brutal beast. Watching the tallic glint of its scales shine brilliantly under the sun, they inexplicably felt a compulsion to worship it.
At this mont, the airborne combat team slowly approached from afar, looking towards Zero Super Beast near the Parliant Building, and instantly felt a shiver run down their spines.
"This is the 911 Assault Team. Zero Super Beast is near the Parliant Building, do not use high-explosive ammunition, switch to armor-piercing rounds!"
"Understood."
However, during the ti it took for the fighter jets to change ammunition, the sulfur-laden dense fog rose from Zero Super Beast, and the combat team instantly lost their target. As the fog gradually dissipated, Zero Super Beast was nowhere to be seen!
"It escaped again! Expand the search area!" Fighter jets swept over the shattered Twin Towers, the sonic boom resonating throughout the Imperial Capital.
The monstrous bird beast was dead, its corpse cleaved in two.
The Twin Towers continued to spew thick smoke and flas, the scene an unparalleled chaos.
The three little ones finally reached a safe distance under Cloud Star's protection, staring at the smoke-emitting Twin Towers and the upper building half placed like toy blocks beside it, enveloped by deep concern.
"Where's the teacher? Where did the teacher go?" Ronald was the first to ask.
For so reason, he always felt that the teacher and this Senior Brother were hiding many things from him, as if treating him and his Senior Sister as outsiders.
Also, why is it that in just one day, this Senior Brother has gained such power? Just now, his control over the water flow was so strong and skilled that they could even ignore the aftereffects of the Giant Beast's attack and escape with ease.
Even now, he suddenly felt that there was a sad, thick barrier between him and his Senior Brother, even though they joined at the sa ti…
"The teacher's strength is beyond our reach," Cloud Star imdiately reassured this Junior Brother.
Among everyone, he was the one who trusted Xue Dili the most. After all, in that world, he had seen the true power of Xue Dili: that 80-ter Zero Super Beast was the ace within the teacher's body.
And inside his own body was rely a 40-ter class Giant Beast, which was enough to give him strength he could never have imagined before.
However, what Cloud Star couldn't understand was why the teacher could use the power of the Super Beast at will.
Every ti he used it, he felt a tearing pain throughout his body. This power wasn't a gift; it ca with a heavy price, as the human body and veins could hardly contain the energy of a Giant Beast.
Even though he hadn't used much just now, he already felt a needle-like pain throughout his body.
Is the teacher just enduring it?
He thought this way in his heart.
"Oi!" Xue Dili's voice ca from afar, and he waved as he approached them.
"Teacher!" Wu Li was astonished that the teacher returned from the Giant Beast and disaster unscathed, secretly admiring how fitting it was for him to be a Monarch.
Even facing such a catastrophe, he seed to handle it with ease, without a scratch.
Only the other two didn't think so; Cloud Star seed to think it was normal, while Ronald kept his head bowed and didn't look at Xue Dili.
Because at that mont, he suddenly felt a familiar sensation from Xue Dili, a feeling from the Super Beast flesh he had absorbed.
Though he was not confident, for so reason, he had always had a rather idealistic feeling since childhood.
When he was five or six years old, he dreamt daily of being in a laboratory where doctors injected serum into his veins, and the pain and distortion hit him like a tsunami.
Not long after the nightmares, his hotown was destroyed, at the hands of the Zero Super Beast.
And now, seeing Xue Dili at this mont, that feeling was even more intense, as if hallucinating and returning to the place where the nightmare began seven years ago.
Like just now, looking at the Zero Super Beast from such a close distance, he had a similar feeling.
He might have guessed sothing: his "Super-speed Regeneration" ability might have co from the Zero Super Beast that destroyed his hotown… the piece of flesh he absorbed was the power of his enemy…
And the teacher might be like him, his Magic Ring also derived from the Zero Super Beast.
No, to be precise, the teacher now was another Zero Super Beast, this kindred feeling could not be wrong…
Yes, he should have realized it earlier. The Zero Super Beast was an already docunted dead Super Beast, and he was a witness to the catastrophe, witnessing the nuclear strike blow up his city.
Teacher, how much do you know about the disaster seven years ago? What else do you know?
He really wanted to ask his teacher, opening his mouth, just about to speak when…
"Here, your share." Xue Dili shoved a chilled fruit juice into the hands of the dejected boy, patting his shoulder, then cheerfully gave the remaining drinks to Cloud Star and Wu Li.
The dejected boy's words got stuck in his throat, his face turning red.
"What's the matter?" Xue Dili asked.
"No, it's nothing…" The dejected boy ultimately didn't voice his conjecture and questions, leaving only that sa-source powerful Magic Ring pulsating.
If Super-speed Regeneration cos from the flesh of the Zero Super Beast, then why did I feel a warm urge to cry when I touched that piece of flesh?
The Zero Super Beast, what is it to , really?
He completely didn't know how to face it anymore…
