"Humans these days are truly powerful..."

Beside Ian, when Aimina and Eluna saw the white flames falling from the sky, Aimina lowered her eyes and murmured softly.

Regardless of the previous "Rose Bomb".

Or perhaps it's the overwhelming white flames being unleashed by a group of soldiers on the television screen.

It can be said that...

If they had possessed such weapons during the Gandor Dynasty.

There might still be a chance to defeat the Fear-Eater, otherwise they wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat.

Ian's mouth was stuffed full like a hamster's. He glanced at the other person, hesitant to speak, though he really wanted to express his opinion.

Humans are creatures where internal strife is the most prevalent trait...

It was precisely in these frequent internal conflicts that the technological and weaponry of all parties were advanced, which is known as the arms race.

War... is the most powerful catalyst for human progress.

On television.

After the sky was ablaze with white flames and scorched a large number of Pterosaurs, Sashado, though not particularly concerned, would not allow these petty scoundrels to continue challenging his authority.

"Since you've attacked me, then... you'll all stay here..."

Throughout his journey to Peji, he didn't have a chance to make a move in any of the cities he encountered.

Before the Skeletal Winged Dragon and the numerous pale humanoid monsters he had transformed.

The fighting strength of each city would quickly disintegrate, so he sat atop the giant Pterosaurs's head, watching helplessly as cities turned into ruins.

He gazed down, his eyes icy, and slowly raised his hand.

The soldiers below were unaware of what was about to happen.

After successfully using the assembled weapon codenamed "Heaven's Flame" to destroy a large number of Pterosaurs monsters on the field, the soldiers had even more confidence in annihilating the monster before them.

Although they had learned a great deal about the monster before they arrived.

But... in reality, after this battle, it seems like it's not insurmountable!

Really.

The weapons manufactured by the V5 Combat Development Department are indeed effective. Many veterans are even fantasizing about using these weapons to attack the giant monsters and avenge their fallen comrades when they have the chance to return to that strange continent!

However, before their ideas could be realized...

The next moment.

They then witnessed a scene that would horrify anyone.

Sashado, atop the giant Skeletal Winged Dragon's head, was moving closer to the ground, then he stretched out his arm and clenched it tightly.

An invisible ripple seemed to flash in his dark eyes.

Immediately afterwards

"Buzz--"

The earth seemed to tremble, and countless rocks and buildings broke off and rose into the air.

Even.

Even the countless Pterosaurs corpses that had been burned by the "Heaven's Flame" and turned into igniters were being propelled into the sky by an invisible force, along with the fractured earth.

They burned with white flames, trailing trails of fire, as they flew together into the sky and gathered together.

This bizarre scene horrified everyone present.

The war correspondents, in particular, immediately pointed their cameras at the scene; this was the first time they had ever seen this humanoid "Magical Beast" take action!

The bizarre methods the other party displayed were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

These war correspondents knew very well that the Nen users behind them possessed bizarre abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, but... these guys had been keeping it a "secret" all along!

However, the scene he had just captured completely solidified the undeniable reality of his extraordinary abilities!

Provided V5 agrees.

Once these images are broadcast on television, they can all imagine the enormous reaction their footage will cause in the human world.

This is the ultimate pursuit of every war correspondent!

Let people living in peacetime know the most brutal truths that happen on the battlefield!

"Boom!"

On the field, mud, steel, rocks, broken buildings, and scorching white flames gathered together, and in a short time, they formed a huge rock monster.

This monster, forcibly pieced together from inorganic matter, was a full 500 meters tall.

Standing tall on the earth, like a great mountain, with a few blazing white flames burning on its body!

At this moment, from any point in Peji City, as long as you look towards the edge of the city, you can see the existence of this behemoth.

Through the observation screens in the shelter.

The Military General, including the politicians who had taken refuge and President Xiupa, stared wide-eyed at the sight, their faces filled with disbelief.

"What... what kind of monster is this?!"

They were filled with fear.

The sheer size and imposing presence of such a massive body are no joke!

They now seriously doubted whether the soldiers sent by V5 to provide support were truly capable of defeating such a terrifying being.

And at this moment.

Even these calm, well-mannered, and experienced soldiers stared wide-eyed at the towering rock monster in front of them, their expressions horrified beneath their protective helmets.

"Calm down... calm down!"

The commanders of each squad, though forcing themselves to suppress their panic, spoke in trembling voices.

"This... this is the enemy we have to deal with! It's that monster's ability!"

"Don't worry, our weapons and equipment are more than enough to handle him!"

"Now, begin assembling weapons and launch a swift, devastating saturation attack on the enemy!"

However, under the orders of their respective squad commanders, this highly skilled unit quickly calmed down and reassembled their weapons and equipment.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

A colossal rock monster, waving its enormous arms, strode towards the soldiers, causing the earth to tremble violently with each step.

Countless small houses blocking its path were crushed and smashed to pieces by the rocks at its feet.

On this day, the people living in Peji endured unimaginable devastation and torment.

Countless people died, countless people were in panic, and some slightly superstitious people even believed that this was God punishment for them, desperately mourning and praying for God forgiveness.

Faced with the rock monster reaching out its massive hand to grab them, all the soldiers' expressions changed.

Then, he quickly pressed the fire button on the weapon in his hand.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The next second.

Missiles fired again, launching a barrage of attacks on the rock monster wielding its enormous arms.

Then...

"Buzz--"

In an instant, all sound in the room vanished.

Countless houses had their windows cracked with dense fissures, and some walls closer to the battlefield also suddenly broke.

Many people who had finally found some hidden places to hide died silently, bleeding from all seven orifices, in that instant.

When that extremely low Infrasound Waves instantly permeated the entire venue.

Even the flames burning on the edge of the city flickered and trembled violently for a moment, as if they were about to go out. The internal organs of countless living creatures were shattered, and they died silently.

Immediately afterwards.

The towering rock monster, hundreds of meters tall, suddenly stopped moving, as if it had been disintegrated. Its body cracked into many parts, and then the loose rocks began to fall downwards.

"It's a success!"

Seeing this, the soldiers were extremely excited. Each of their helmets had special earplugs installed inside, so they would be fine.

Therefore, they had no regard what kind of impact using such weapons in low-altitude cities would have on the people in those cities.

They had only one goal at this moment: to completely defeat the monster!

Sashado naturally noticed this scene as well, raising an eyebrow and showing interest on his face.

The soldiers were still unaware of this.

When a king becomes interested in something, a large number of ordinary people will inevitably have their fates changed as a result, whether for better or worse, it's hard to say.

This is the king's will.
