The high-ranking officials who received Director Yamaki's message were naturally delighted.
After all, with things having grown this serious, if they still did nothing, they would truly end up before a military tribunal afterward.
Meanwhile, at the elementary school targeted by the ADR "Reaper," several teachers hurriedly led the children toward an area thick with vegetation to take shelter.
Unfortunately, there were quite a lot of children in this elementary school, and in the face of such a disaster, many of them had already been terrified out of their wits.
By the time the teachers had finally calmed the children down and were preparing to lead them to the school's botanical garden, the ADR "Reaper" had already begun attacking the entire building.
"Boom—!"
With a swing of the scythe that had instantly wiped out the Self-Defense Forces earlier, the entire building was cut open with a massive gash, as though it were a cream cake.
The teachers and students who had been heading downstairs were thrown to the ground by the violent shaking of the building.
When they saw the hideous monster exposed through the shattered wall, many of the children burst into tears on the spot.
And this scene was simultaneously broadcast on every television channel.
The high-ranking officials ordered every TV station to immediately stop the live broadcast, but their secretaries soon reported that the network lines had been infiltrated by an unknown program. The footage they were seeing was not being filmed by any television station.
"Damn it! Is that thing trying to provoke humanity and make a show of force this way?!"
An unknown program had invaded the network lines. Even an idiot could tell Belphemon was behind this.
While furious, Director Yamaki was also deeply shocked, because Belphemon's rate of evolution was simply too fast!
