How Are We Supposed to Defeat It?
At that moment, both Fang Li and Alisa witnessed an incredibly unbelievable scene.
At the edge of the wilderness, on the other side of a hill, a huge figure appeared out of nowhere.
The sheer size of that figure far surpassed that of the previous Vajra.
It is believed that, in terms of size alone, the size of the opponent is enough to surpass any large Aragami.
This enormous figure resembled a monster, howling loudly while tendrils of vines spread out from its body and lashed out in all directions.
"Bang—!"
The ground is being hit hard.
"Thump—!"
The air was constantly popping and crackling.
"Boom—!"
Under the rampage of that enormous figure, the entire sky and earth seemed to be shaken, trembling repeatedly.
That was a terrifying scene that wouldn't even appear in a dream.
So, Fang Li and Alisa, while enduring the ear-piercing scream, watched the unbelievable and terrifying scene with their eyes wide open.
"What... what is that?"
Alisa's voice came from beside Fang Li. It was very faint, but it miraculously passed through the heavy sound waves and clearly entered Fang Li's ears.
Fang Li could hear that Alisa's voice was trembling.
That's only natural.
Compared to Vajra, the enormous figure before them was undoubtedly the epitome of destruction.
Compared to his opponent, Vajra was no different from a docile kitten.
If there truly are gods in this world, then anyone who sees this Matoba would believe so.
"That is... 'God'..."
Yes.
That is God.
The enormous size of the Oracle Cell was undoubtedly one of the decisive factors in why the aggregate of oracle cells was given the name "god".
Once Fang Li understood this, how could he not guess what that enormous, rampaging figure was?
"Aphrodite ..."
One of the most terrifying Aragami on Earth, listed as Forbidden Kind.
Now, the culprit that caused the turmoil throughout the Russian Branch is displaying its divine power in a far-off direction.
The reason is also easy to guess.
"I see..." Fang Li stared intently at the enormous figure that was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
"Has the First Unit already made contact with Aphrodite?"
In other words, Soma, Sakuya Tachibana, and Soma are already fighting Aphrodite.
This was decided at the operational meeting.
Alisa knew about this as well.
However, Alisa did not know beforehand what fighting Aphrodite would truly mean.
Now, Alisa knows.
Looking at the earth-shattering Matoba on the other side in the distance, Alisa murmured to herself.
"How do we defeat such a monster?"
It's just a perfectly reasonable question.
After all, Aphrodite's rampage was so small, yet its aftershocks affected Fang Li and Alisa, who were so far away. It's no wonder that her power was so terrifying.
How could three God Eater possibly defeat such a monster?
Even Fang Li couldn't help but start to doubt whether the three members of the First Unit really had a way to defeat Aphrodite.
Although in the original work, Soma successfully defeated Ouroboros, an Ouroboros of the same Forbidden Kind as Aphrodite, even Aragami of the same species do not necessarily have the same power.
Just like humans, there are weak and strong, there are also strong and weak among the God Eater. Even among the Ara Gods, there are clear distinctions of high and low.
Oracle Cell possess predatory properties, but they can also absorb the characteristics of the things they devour, thereby acquiring the same functions as the prey.
Therefore, it is only natural that the Aragami that preys on more animals is stronger than the other Aragami that preys on fewer animals.
Perhaps Aphrodite even more powerful than Ouroboros, who is also Forbidden Kind?
Not to mention, even if Soma were able to defeat the Forbidden Kind, that would be a year from now.
The current Soma is naturally no stronger than she will be a year from now.
In other words, at this very moment, the three God Eater of the First Unit are teetering on the edge of life and death.
He could die at any moment.
"Rumble..."
The ground tremors gradually subsided.
The shrill screams echoing in the air gradually weakened.
However, it wasn't that Aphrodite stopped her rampage; rather, she seemed to be chasing the attackers, slowly moving in another direction.
Not long after, the earthquake stopped, and the sound waves disappeared as well.
Fang Li and Alisa watched in silence as the enormous figure began to disappear into the distance.
A moment of silence replaced the previous roar and permeated the entire wilderness.
Fang Li and Alisa remained silent for a long time, showing no reaction whatsoever.
It was only after a long while that Alisa lowered her head and said this.
"Aren't you going over there?"
Fang Li didn't answer, but remained silent for a long while before sighing and saying, "Do you think I'm a match for that monster?"
"But, your companions were in charge of defeating it, weren't they?" Alisa turned her head and finally looked Fang Li, saying, "After seeing what just happened, I don't think that three God Eater alone could defeat such a monster."
The implication is that the three men in the First Unit are facing a deadly threat and may even be dead.
In this situation, Alisa said, "If you go there now, you might still be able to save them."
As soon as he finished speaking, silence returned to the surroundings.
Fang Li simply stared at the enormous figure gradually disappearing into the distance, his mind racing.
Although this incident was not mentioned in the original work, since the plot a year later has not yet begun, it proves that Soma, Sakuya Tachibana, and Soma will not die here.
Therefore, Fang Li was not worried that the people in the First Unit would die.
Of course, because Fang Li has intervened here, there is a possibility of a butterfly effect.
However, Fang Li was more concerned about whether the First Unit had also been framed by the Russian Branch captain.
If so, and if the First Unit really dies on the battlefield, then Fang Li will truly be isolated and helpless.
At that point, not only will the Side Mission be impossible to complete, but Fang Li may also continue to be sniped by the captain.
"It seems we really need to go and take a look." Fang Li turned to Alisa and said, "What do you plan to do?"
Alisa's expression began to change.
After a while, Alisa made up her mind.
