Looks Won't Allow It
The principle that "when the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up" applies everywhere, and the Main God Space is no exception.
The Flying Carpet followed closely behind the Frost Dragon, while the flying beasts that attacked from behind were eliminated by Duan Xinlan riding a fire dragon, and they crossed the mountainous area without any trouble.
The area around the crater is hardened black scorched earth with distinct gullies, resembling cooled magma.
A strange thing happened: the birds and beasts stopped at the edge of the mountain range, circling and not daring to take a step. After roaring a few times, they turned around and attacked the other Reincarnator.
Russell sat cross-legged on the Flying Carpet, thoughtfully saying something to Duan Xinlan, who readily obeyed and raised her hand to unleash a fireball.
Boom!!!
The fireball exploded at the giant bird's tail; the exact location is hard to describe, but the bird was thoroughly enraged. It roared, turned, and swooped down, then...
It halted its momentum at the edge, its eyes bloodshot and seemingly ready to devour anyone, but it dared not cross the line.
"Continue!"
OK!
Upon hearing this, Duan Xinlan became even more energetic, unleashing a series of bursts of flame. The giant bird was blasted black, its furious cries causing it to cough up blood, yet even so, it dared not move forward even a meter.
On the other side, the Frost Dragon noticed the group's movements, flapped its wings, and landed on the ground, slowly transforming into human form. Its teammates, who had been standing on the dragon's back, saw the eerie atmosphere of the scorched earth and dared not venture further, waiting for the other Reincarnator.
Finally, the giant bird, whose intelligence was questionable, fell to the ground with a mournful cry, its feathers burned off and unable to fly. It became bald, but not stronger, and staggered away on its two chicken legs.
Russell glanced at the other bird-like giants. Duan Xinlan stood beside him awaiting orders. As the two men looked at him with ill intent, the giants immediately scattered and ran away much faster than when they arrived.
"Something's strange. These giant beasts are behaving very abnormally!" Russell pondered in Duan Xinlan lying in his arms, 'exhausted,' he wasn't worried about Supergirl finding out. Others could testify that Duan Xinlan had moved on her own.
"It must be a rule set by the main god, dividing the area into an outer and a central region, which prevents them from entering," Ying Yingying replied.
"If only that were the case..." Russell stopped mid-sentence, then, seeing Ying Yingying's murderous glare, ignored her and continued, "The problem is that there's an even more ruthless one inside. This area is under its control, and the other giant beasts dare not set foot here because of its tyranny."
"Hey, would it kill you to be a quiet, handsome man?"
"Sorry, my looks don't allow it!"
"Are you ugly?"
"On the contrary, I am already a handsome man just because I am not quiet."
Ying Yingying: "..."
The group waited at the edge of the mountain range, and soon the other reincarnation teams appeared one after another. Apart from the Frost Dragon and Russell's group, the fastest to arrive was Mecha Zord, who wielded a forty-meter-long sword and made his way unimpeded.
The slowest was the Elemental Giant made of meteorites, which disintegrated as soon as it stepped out of the mountainous area. The four Reincarnator escaped with their lives and lay dead on the ground.
Seeing the Elemental Giant disappear, Ying Yingying felt a pang of regret. She wiped the drool from her mouth and joined up with the leaders of the other reincarnation teams to discuss their next move.
Of the forty-two Reincarnator, eight did not survive. The rest suffered injuries of varying degrees and, after drinking two vials of medicine, barely regained their fighting strength.
The leaders didn't care much about losing nearly a fifth of their manpower. They considered these weaklings, who couldn't even break through the outer perimeter, to be a burden. They didn't expect their meager strength to be of any use.
After resting for a while, the group continued towards the meteorite crater, with two Gundams leading the way. The others tacitly refrained from using flying devices.
The situation is unclear; the higher you stand, the harder you'll fall!
Before leaving, Russell looked towards the mountains. The roars of beasts and the chirping of birds continued unabated, suggesting that the Dog Pack were having a great time gaining experience.
The scorched earth was desolate and barren. Looking around, there was not a single living thing. Occasionally, white hot air would spew out from the ground. Overall, it could be considered safe.
But this safety was merely the calm before the storm; the Reincarnator remained on high alert, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
As they approached the crater, the group stood in a row, some unsure of what to do.
There's no way out!
I had assumed the meteorite crater would be a monster's lair, teeming with countless mutated behemoths, but my own eyes proved otherwise.
The sinkhole is soft and sticky, with crystal-clear Crystal peeking out from the sharp corners. Clearing away the soil reveals the full shape of the Crystal. The triangular prism structure does not appear to be naturally formed. The light flickers, like a pulse, with very regular intervals.
At the very center of the crater is a circular depression with a palm-width crack emitting white smoke, reminiscent of a volcano.
"What civilization does this plot remind you of?" Russell pondered without success, then looked down and asked Ying Yingying, who was an encyclopedia of knowledge.
"There are quite a few plots related to Crystal, but none of them have much to do with civilization. If we had to make a connection, it would only be with extraterrestrial civilizations." Ying Yingying said, puzzled. Extraterrestrial civilizations could explain the mutated giant beasts on the periphery, but the problem at hand was that she didn't know where to go next. She couldn't just jump into the lava, could she?
Someone actually did it. The meteorite fell again, transforming into a rock giant covered in flames, and under the caster's control, it strode towards the crater.
Fiery red lava splashed up, wisps of white steam rose, and the rock giant slowly sank down due to its weight.
Five minutes later, a violent tremor came from underground, and the magma in the crater churned and surged like a fountain, creating a tremendous spectacle. The Reincarnator instinctively stepped back.
With a deafening thud, the rock giant soared into the sky and crashed heavily to the ground. Crimson streams flowed across its body, the massive rock that formed its form cracked, and the flames quickly extinguished, leaving only a pile of rubble.
The volcano's violent activity has not ended; on the contrary, it has intensified and could erupt at any moment.
"Step back, something even more ruthless is about to appear!"
The rock giant itself doesn't have the ability to fly; it was thrown out, or rather... blasted away!?
The rock giant is 30 meters tall and incredibly heavy. It can be knocked away or even killed instantly, which shows how terrifying the monsters hidden in the magma must be.
Rumble!
The scorching currents churned and the viscous red lava swirled into eddies, and a black island rose up, its peaks towering and standing in rows.
"Roar roar roar————"
A roar erupted, like thunder collapsing the heavens, as two ferocious giant claws reached out and clung to the edge of the crater. It wasn't an island, but the back of a behemoth, its blade-like peaks actually giant dorsal fins.
The volcano boiled, and a ferocious face covered in black scales appeared, its gaping maw spewing lava down its fangs. The prehistoric behemoth slowly crawled out, its body, over a hundred meters long, blotting out the sky, its massive tail, as large as a mountain range, sweeping back and forth in the scorching torrents.
"Godzilla!?"
