Colossus

Buzzing—

Amidst the roar of the tsunami and the sounds of buildings collapsing.

The foundation of the entire city also emitted an abnormal buzzing sound due to the twisting of the structure.

Linsey rushed into the street without hesitation.

He struggled to steady himself amidst the violent tremors and glanced toward the location of the stone statue.

This enormous creature was still moving its body step by step.

Although its speed is not fast, its unparalleled size allows it to stride more than a kilometer with each step.

At this speed.

Even if you travel from the Orange District all the way to the Blue District, it would probably only take a few minutes.

"..."

Linsey reached out and patted her forehead.

Even those monster movies and tokusatsu series he watched in his previous life.

The massive monsters that serve as the final boss are generally only a few dozen meters tall, and very few are over a hundred meters.

But this thing? It's several thousand meters high! Standing there, it's on par with the Himalayas.

Humans are not even ants in comparison to it, barely larger than a speck of dust.

Visual, wind pressure, trembling earth, and obscured sunlight.

The oppressive feeling brought by the behemoth swept in from all directions, making it almost difficult to breathe.

Linsey steadied herself and imagined fighting the stone statue. "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Even if we use [Red Horn Mistletoe] as a consumable, it will only destroy a part of its body at most, and will definitely not kill it!"

At that moment, the scene before Linsey's eyes suddenly flashed.

The [Decryption Game] skill suddenly activated.

The skills required for this module typically involve close-up observation of targets.

But the statue was so large that even from a great distance, it was reflected in Linsey's pupils.

The corresponding information immediately appeared: [All Things Have a Soul - Giant Stone Statue - In a certain world, everything possesses life. This law is spreading to this world, causing the originally lifeless stone statue to come alive.]

"All Things Have a Soul; which artist created this world?"

"Thank you so much!"

Linsey offered her blessings to the unknown Eighth Stage powerhouse.

But the next second, his expression changed.

Within the world of the Hallucination Dream, some also sensed something was wrong and thus unleashed their powerful skills to attack the stone giant.

Someone started singing.

The melodious song was accompanied by the clanging sounds of swords and horses.

A majestic celestial army appeared from the sky without cause or origin.

The horses neighed loudly, and the soldiers roared.

They stomped through the sky, whipping up violent air currents as they charged towards the stone giant. Their momentum was earth-shattering, as if they wanted to obscure the stars and the sun and moon, and they forcefully slammed the giant to the ground, utterly shattering it.

Boom! The Awakener's skill naturally produced an effect.

The enormous stone statue leaned back, crushing the city behind it into ruins.

The towers in the Orange District were also swept away and tilted into the sea, creating waves on both sides of the city.

Traces of stone joining are also visible on the body of the stone giant.

But merely knocking it down did not end its life.

The effect of "All Things Have a Soul" comes from the World Law and will not disappear due to attacks from awakened beings.

Each of the giant stones that makes up the statue begins to move on its own.

Immediately afterwards, the entire massive stone statue trembled, then all the stones returned to their original positions, as if it hadn't been attacked at all! Roar—

The silent roar rang out once more.

This time, the stone statue stood up and raised its right fist.

Five or six fists, each the size of a football field, stretched outwards, instantly increasing in size, pressing down like a hill.

Waaaaah—

The air emitted a rapid, shrill cry.

The sudden increase in air pressure created rapid air currents within the city.

Although the stone statue moved slowly, the slap landed steadily on the ground after four or five seconds.

Boom! All the buildings within the palm's reach were destroyed.

The city's foundation and the surrounding urban area were also reduced to ashes.

A few seconds later, Linsey, who was in the Blue District, also felt a jolt in her feet.

At this point, he could no longer control his body.

The curling ground, like the ebb and flow of the tide, stretched out in all directions, pulling and rolling, sending objects flying out of control of their own bodies.

"Selina! Ala Song?"

Linsey felt a sudden tightness in her chest as she flew through the air.

He turned his head and saw that Ala Song and Selina had indeed been thrown into the air by the earth-shattering force.

These two people are a painter and a child.

None of them have the freakish physical strength of Linsey. Even if they survive falling to the ground, they will definitely not have a pleasant ending.

"..."

Linsey acted instantly.

He pulled out Vine Wood Whip, wrapped it around the exposed foundation, and flung his body outwards with all his might, chasing after the two in the air.

In mid-air, the magic runes on the back of Linsey's hand flashed, and it had already switched to the [Ancient Tree Crest].

Linsey approached Ala Song and Selina.

At the same time, activate the magic rune effect to transform yourself into a treant form.

The thick roots penetrate directly through the ground, insert into the foundation, and firmly anchor the body.

The branches and leaves that transformed at the same time enveloped Ala Song and Selina, catching them steadily in mid-air and providing a buffer.

All of this was accomplished in the blink of an eye.

Linsey's timely actions finally protected Ala Song and Selina.

Then look around.

Most of the buildings have been completely reduced to ruins, and even with the World Law to repair them, it will be difficult to restore them to their original state in a short time.

"..."

Linsey put the two down and then canceled the tree-man's transformation.

If this had happened half an hour earlier, Ala Song would probably have been amazed by Linsey's skill.

But the painter couldn't care less about any of that.

The battle between the Giant Stone Statue and the Awakened Ones is like a Damocles' sword hanging over their heads! "Linsey, bring out your last tricks!"

"If they keep causing this trouble, forget about finding someone, it'll be a question whether we can even get out of here alive!"

Linsey could only shake her head:

"No matter what my abilities are, I can't solve something that big."

He looked at young Selina, for this was the root of everything:

"Selina, how's your memory coming back?"

Selina was also frightened by the earth-shattering battle, her face turning pale.

However, she immediately replied to Linsey:

"I just remembered that I withdrew from the theater performance."

"I also rented a house, right... right in that big guy, in the Orange District where it used to be."

Linsey made a rough estimate.

It was several years after Selina left the theater that she met him again.

The other party's memories should have been largely shared. If we just hold on for a few more minutes, we will be able to see the true whereabouts of Wala Wala.

"Linsey, look!"

Ala Song suddenly shouted urgently.

Linsey turned her head and saw that the thousands-of-meters-tall stone statue had once again been knocked down by an unknown awakener.

But this time, Linsey and her friends were in trouble.

Because the stone statue fell in the direction it was facing!

"It's going to come crashing down!"

Ala Song's shouts were almost distorted.

Even if the stone statue had only fallen to the side, let alone directly hitting them, the shockwave would be unbearable for anyone! Linsey immediately switched modules and shouted:

"Don't panic, I have another way!"

"Hand of Construction, emerge!"
