No Way to Resist

"Boom—!"

Before we knew it, the pitch-black sky, which had been in a state of oppression for the past few days, finally began to flash with lightning and thunder, with dazzling flashes of lightning illuminating the entire horizon from time to time.

Not far below the clouds, a military helicopter, its Spiral spinning, flew past at a steady pace, resolutely heading in one direction.

Inside the helicopter, Alisa looked at the stormy sky and asked with some concern, "Is it really okay to fly in this kind of weather?"

"Who knows?" Fang Li, who had been looking at the touchscreen panel in his hand, answered casually, "Our luck shouldn't be so bad that we'd get hit by lightning at this time, right?"

"Right now, it wouldn't be surprising at all if something like that happened," Alisa said to Fang Li, her tone still somewhat unsettled. "Aren't you worried at all?"

"Of course I'm worried. If something unexpected happens again, we really won't be able to get back to the Russian Branch this time." Fang Li said this, but still looked nonchalant. "But even if I'm worried, it's no use. I don't want to stop because of something like this again."

Alisa opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing Fang Li's relaxed appearance, as if he hadn't taken her words to heart at all, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Does this guy really not fear death?

Unaware that she had inadvertently guessed Fang Li's true nature, Alisa could only gaze out at the lightning-streaked sky once more, silently praying that no further accidents would occur.

However, at this moment, Fang Li suddenly spoke up.

"Alisa, look down."

Upon hearing this, Alisa was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked towards the ground as Fang Li had suggested.

The next second, Alisa's expression froze.

"Roar..."

"Ouch..."

"Ugh..."

A cacophony of extremely loud and chaotic roars began to rise, echoing through the air along with flashes of lightning and thunder.

On the distant land, countless armies of wild gods covered the land, like ants leaving their nest, marching in unison in one direction.

There, there are small wild gods like the Oni-faced Giant-tailed, medium-sized wild gods like Vajra and Chi You, and even large wild gods like Vajra.

All sorts of wild gods were surging in one direction in droves, forming an extremely terrifying army, like a migrating herd of beasts, causing dust to rise from their feet.

That scene was absolutely spectacular.

"This..." Alisa was somewhat shocked.

Although she had known for a long time that this collective attack by the Aragami was extraordinary, with an astonishing number of them, including thousands of large Aragami, it was said to be terrifying, Alisa had never been able to comprehend just how terrifying it was.

After all, Alisa was a novice who couldn't even assess the strength of her opponents. She always thought that after becoming God Eater, she would be able to defeat the Aragami and avenge her parents. Little did she know how terrifying her enemies were.

Now, Alisa knows that with her current strength, she can at most deal with medium-sized Aragami, but she is absolutely unable to deal with large Aragami.

Under such circumstances, among the seemingly endless army of Aragami below, there were tens of thousands of large Aragami, and countless other Aragami of all kinds.

Alisa finally realized just how terrifying such an army was.

To put it bluntly, with that terrifying army below, crushing a Russian Branch would be no difficult task.

At least, anyone who saw this scene would think so.

Including Fang Li.

"With such a large army and a Forbidden Kind of Aragami, unless the fighting forces of Fenrir branches around the world and even Fenrir headquarters are mobilized to fight against it collectively, a single branch would definitely not be able to resist, right?"

Fang Li gazed down at the densely packed army of the Wild Gods and couldn't help but sneer.

"Faced with such an enemy, the Russian Branch did not hesitate to sabotage the Far East Branch's rescue efforts, sacrificing important plans and the lives of many soldiers and God Eater. Hopefully, that so-called secret is worth it."

Alisa was speechless.

As God Eater belonging to the Russian Branch, Alisa really didn't know what to say.

In the past, given Alisa's personality, what the higher-ups thought was none of her business. As long as she had the power to fight her enemies, Alisa would never care about anything else.

However, now, Alisa has doubts.

What exactly are the people in power hiding?

This is something many people want to know.

However, it is not yet time to reveal the truth about this matter.

However, one thing is certain.

That is, this secret is definitely not ordinary.

Thinking about this, a thoughtful look began to flash in Alisa's eyes, followed by a hint of hesitation.

At this moment, Fang Li spoke up again.

"We've arrived."

These words jolted Alisa out of her reverie.

Then, Alisa saw it.

Ahead of the densely packed army of Aragami, the familiar base, surrounded by a defensive wall, finally appeared.

However, Alisa felt no joy, but rather great alarm.

"Has the Aragami already advanced this close?"

At this rate, it won't be long before the Aragami launch a full-scale attack on the Russian Branch's defensive perimeter.

"In the course of war?" Alisa's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"We had already drawn up a battle plan, so why haven't we seen a single unit yet?"

Could it be that the Russian Branch's forces have been completely wiped out?

Just as Alisa couldn't help but think this, Fang Li also began to mutter to himself.

"It seems I don't have much time left either," Fang Li said. "We need to get into Fenrir as soon as possible before the Aragami attacks the Russian Branch."

After saying that, Fang Li tapped the touchscreen panel in his hand.

Immediately, the helicopter's speed increased dramatically, and it flew towards the Russian Branch at top speed.

Neither Fang Li nor Alisa found it.

At the very rear of the vast army of Aragami, which covered almost the entire land, a gigantic figure slowly appeared, also heading towards the Russian Branch.
