Storm

Since World War II, subway stations have served as air-raid shelters.

At this moment, the 500,000 people who were stranded in Manhattan for various reasons all took refuge here.

There were so many people that the subway station was packed to the brim, with nowhere to even put down.

Loud rumbling noises continued to come from overhead, startling the crowd into screams.

This is precisely how Lu Li, while entertaining and destroying the city, incidentally practices "Dark Matter Breath".

Someone holding their phone exclaimed in a trembling voice, "A monster has destroyed Times Square!"

The Demon Dragon unleashed three beams of light that swept across the area, shattering and disintegrating dozens of bustling high-rise buildings, dazzling neon lights, and large screens.

The scene was spectacular, but a deep sense of despair permeated the subway.

"We're doomed... we're all going to die here!"

"What are the government and the military doing! Stop this son of a bitch!"

"You monster who deserves to go to hell! I curse your soul! You will turn into a pile of mud in hell!"

They cursed, were angry, and hated! But some were ecstatic and worshipful!

The Blue Star people were filled with excitement, and their emotions converged into a surging tide of wishes that overwhelmed them.

"Good timing!"

Lu Li was having a headache.

The energy of the mind is not infinite; most of it was consumed after the destruction of Manhattan, and the body became quite blurry.

However, the realm test is not yet complete, the Dragon Breath needs to be further condensed, and there is still a lot to be done.

These wishes have come at just the right time!

Lu Li had a thought, and Annihilation immediately spread its wings and took a deep breath...

Suddenly, a torrent of golden substance appeared out of thin air and was absorbed into the Demon Dragon's body; this was "merit," representing positive emotions.

There are approximately 500 million of them. After being annihilated and absorbed, the reaction is minimal; it's just ordinary energy, like a normal person eating and drinking.

"Merit" is optional, Lu Li said calmly, feeling that being able to recharge was already pretty good.

Immediately afterwards, he instructed Xinxiang to begin absorbing some churning black matter.

This is naturally the "negative force" accumulated from negative emotions, the very thing that destroys your favorite things!

When it destroyed the capital, it was drawn out by the hatred of two billion people.

It is precisely because of this terrifying energy that it possessed an astonishing size and power from the moment it was born!

The Azure Dragon's length of 80 meters is already exaggerated, but compared to other creatures, it suddenly looks like a catfish.

Right now, Annihilation is once again drawing in its favorite "necromantic power"!

$1 billion, $2 billion... a total of $3 billion was gathered by the feat of destroying Manhattan! Half of it was hatred, and the rest was horror and fear.

The three-headed Demon Dragon, having received this great tonic, suddenly spread its wings, raised its head, and let out an excited roar!

The shout was so loud that rows of tall buildings trembled; its penetrating power was so strong that it could be heard even at the Green Pine Military Base, 350 kilometers away!

"That's the monster's cry! What happened?"

"It's gotten bigger! It's gotten bigger!!!"

A group of people simultaneously looked at the big screen, their faces turning pale with shock!

Suddenly, the annihilated creature expanded, its length exceeding 200 meters and its wingspan reaching a staggering 500 meters—a quarter larger!

The "negative force" of 3 billion is not just about changes in body shape.

Annihilation was enveloped in faint black particles, and suddenly flapped its wings, creating a strong gust of wind!

Those black particles also mixed in with the air, causing the wind to howl and swirl.

The speed increased, the wind force increased, and it picked up larger and larger chunks of cement, steel bars, and cars... even a collapsed building was torn to pieces!

A pitch-black tornado roared and raged, causing chaos and turmoil throughout the world!

Even the clouds were stirred up, swirling above the three-headed Demon Dragon's roaring head, forming a vast tropical cyclone.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a hurricane covering an area of 5 kilometers in radius was fully formed!

Due to their geographical location, the Star Alliance Country is frequently hit by hurricanes, so they are very familiar with such natural disasters.

In the operations command room of Pine Base, an officer's trembling voice reported:

"Wind speeds exceeding 70 meters per second constitute a Category 5 hurricane! Storm surge is expected to form in 15 minutes!"

In addition to their physical impact, hurricanes can also cause abnormal rises and falls in sea level, also known as "storm tsunamis".

New York, being located on the Atlantic Ocean, naturally enjoys this privilege.

Chaos erupted immediately inside the operations command center.

Professor Rossi, his face unusually flushed, shouted at General Fenton:

"General, we must negotiate. Continuing this will cause irreparable damage!"

Officers immediately objected:

"What a joke! How can we negotiate with terrorists! If we can't hold the city, we might as well use nuclear weapons!"

Immediately, someone objected. "Impossible! This is the largest metropolitan area on the East Coast; neither the president nor the Department of Defense would agree to it!"

A commotion erupted in the room, but Professor Rossi looked directly into General Fenton's eyes and solemnly said:

"General, no matter what, a decision must be made!"

General Fenton, pale-faced, turned to an officer beside him and asked in a low voice:

"Has the mutant's girlfriend been brought under control?"

"She has hidden in the jungles off the west coast of Mexico, and the Mexico government is not cooperating, making it difficult to find her in a short time."

Damn it!

General Fenton cursed and picked up the phone to New White House...

At this moment, Dr. Barick had been silent until now, suddenly spoke:

"General, why don't you try my little crown gadget?"

Upon hearing this, General Fenton pointed to the vast storm on the big screen and said hoarsely:

"You'd better put those things away when facing this monster."

"Don't underestimate them. They've been on Earth for billions of years, wiping out countless powerful species."

Barrick calmly replied, "Moreover, I possess the original strain, which is highly toxic and heat-resistant..."

"Wait a moment!"

Rossi interrupted, "Mr. Barrick, the vaccine you mentioned earlier wasn't from the original strain, was it?"

"That's right, there is currently no antidote for the original strain."

Barrick nodded in agreement, then pointed to the Demon Dragon soaring through the sky on the screen and said:

"But faced with such an unprecedented monster, is there a better option?"

A moment of silence fell over the arena. Rossi murmured, "I'd rather use nuclear weapons..."

~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, Lu Li was pleasantly surprised to have activated Xin Xiang's "super-large range" Divine Ability - Storm!

Surrounded by a raging Category 5 hurricane, Annihilation remained completely unaffected, becoming even more agile and capable of flying on the wind.

It simply spread its wings and, without even making a move, was lifted into the air by the hurricane.

At this moment, it can manipulate storms to strike cities, and it can also unleash its breath at will using the surging energy within its body.

This must be really cool, Lu Li definitely wants to experience it for himself...

The moment this thought arose, the scales where he stood suddenly became illusory, Lu Li instantly fell into Xin Xiang's head!?

And just like that, they became one!

"This is... a fusion?"

With their thoughts aligned, Lu Li immediately understood... This is one way of applying the concept of mind perception.

When operated by Cultivator, it is not only easy to handle, but also provides all-around protection!

"Very well, then let me give it a good try, and then... the real Manifestation will take place!"

The Manifestation isn't just about summoning a monster to bite people; the most amazing things are yet to come!
