Molten Giant Beast

Li Qing, who was ahead, was looking back.

The intense interference from the seismic waves made him almost unable to hear anything, and temporarily deprived him of his ability to locate sounds.

In order to survive this terrible natural disaster and earthquake, he had to de -Digitization Mode and observe everything around him with his own eyes.

At that moment, the stunning scene of the giant meteor crashing down from the sky immediately caught his attention.

He couldn't help but slow down and turn back to gaze at the extraordinary sight of the meteor falling to earth.

The houses were crushed into rubble, stirring up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun.

Dark red magma flowed freely across the massive body of the "meteor," shimmering in the gray dust.

Then, a look of terror welled up in Li Qing's eyes:

Because that "meteor," which was at least thirty or forty meters long, moved.

The enormous "rock" that shot out from the ground and fell here from the sky was actually moving!

With its thick magma shell, it smashed through the smoke and dust that enveloped the area with its massive body.

Then, this enormous monster, as big as a skyscraper, shot out of the ruins at a speed comparable to that of a car.

"This"

"Could this thing be..."

Li Qing's face trembled as he watched that strangely familiar manner of movement.

"That Meat Chunk?"

"It was ejected by a volcano?"

He guessed correctly; the volcanic meteor falling from the sky was the Meat Chunk he had sealed in the underground lava layer nearly two hours earlier.

In Li Qing's view at the time, the Meat Chunk seemed to be constantly being destroyed by the high temperature in the lava, and then constantly absorbing energy to regenerate.

But such subtle energy differences are not something that can be seen with the naked eye.

In fact, from the very beginning, the energy required to repair the wound was less than the energy that the Meat Chunk absorbed from the magma.

On the surface, it appears to be balanced, but in reality, the body of the Meat Chunk is expanding at an imperceptible rate.

Just like college students who spend all their time in their dorm eating takeout and have no time to exercise, they don't realize they're getting fat when they first enroll, but their bellies gradually show over time.

Li Qing stayed there for too short a time, so it's not obvious yet.

But after he left, as time went by, the Meat Chunk gradually swelled to an extremely noticeable size.

Finally, after being trapped underground for nearly two hours, it swelled to its current size, which is nearly forty meters in diameter.

It could be a chain reaction caused by the Meat Chunk moving freely underground, or it could be because Mother Earth could no longer tolerate this monster wreaking havoc inside her.

Before it grew to an uncontrollable state, Mother Earth sneezed, and the volcano erupted.

The Meat Chunk were propelled from the ground into the sky by the high pressure of the volcanic eruption, but unfortunately, they were too large to be ejected directly from the Earth.

Final.

It just so happened that it landed here.

Li Qing couldn't help but recall the flag he had made after the Meat Chunk was sealed—although he hadn't said it all at the time, things still happened just as he had feared.

The Meat Chunk wasn't trapped.

It even got fat from eating too much.

The massive chunk of Meat Chunk, standing thirty or forty meters tall, stood not far behind, its enormous size creating immense pressure.

"What to do?"

"How do we fight this monster?!"

Seeing this scene, Li Qing's soul trembled:

He shouldn't be fighting a monster that big; Ultraman should be the one to do it.

He was momentarily at a loss, then suddenly realized something.

"This guy doesn't seem to be after me?"

Li Qing was slightly taken aback, but immediately became much more sober:

"That's right, that's right."

"No matter how big it is, it doesn't change the fact that it has no brain."

"This Meat Chunk only chases after the fastest thing, so as long as you are careful, it will not be a threat at all."

He couldn't help but think of the "Meat Chunk hatred formula" that he and Giorno had developed.

As long as you follow that formula and have the two people take turns drawing aggro, it's easy to lure the monster away.

If we just throw it into the sea, it will only create a slightly larger sea monster.

However, that will have to wait until I reunite with my companions.

As for now

"Although I don't know which brave warrior drew the aggro for me, I swear..."

"I will avenge you."

Li Qing silently thanked the nameless warrior before turning around and using his dash.

"What the hell is this?!"

Diavolo is roaring.

Li Qing had the chance to escape the Meat Chunk's perception range, but he wasn't so lucky.

He didn't even know what the monster relentlessly pursuing him was.

How can rocks ejected from a volcano move?

"Could it be a stand-in?"

"Could there really be such a terrifying Stand in the world?"

Diavolo was filled with doubt, and the biggest doubt was:

Why is it chasing me?!

"What is it about me that it keeps chasing me like this?!"

Such an absurd reality led Diavolo to have absurd thoughts:

Could it be that the world is targeting him, which is why such a demonic monster was born?

"That's right, that must be it."

"I am too powerful, so God sent such a monster to punish me."

Diavolo was driven almost insane.

He has no time to hunt down Li Qing right now; he's lucky if he can even save his life from that monster behind him.

"Damn it. Get out of here!"

He yelled wildly, which only made him drive even faster.

The King Crimson, standing on the roof of the vehicle, turned his gun around and aimed the vehicle-mounted machine gun at the mountain-sized monster behind him, tentatively firing a burst of bullets.

Just like in most works of art, human firearms are completely useless against monsters.

But unlike those strange characters in movies who know bullets are useless but still shoot water at monsters with their little pistols, Diavolo fired those shots just to make sure he wasn't insane.

As it turned out, the monster beyond human comprehension was not his hallucination.

The bullets struck its body, which was covered in dark red lava, and sparked a dazzling burst of fire on its "lava armor".

Even more terrifyingly, at the very moment the bullet was fired, its massive, mountain-like body suddenly unleashed an even more terrifying speed.

However, this "Molten Giant Beast" did not use its speed to swallow Diavolo's armored vehicle in one go.

Like a domestic dog being fed bones, it did its utmost to face the bullets flying towards it.

Even bullets that the King Crimson accidentally missed were firmly caught by its extended tentacles.

Then, the monster's speed suddenly slowed down again, returning to the previous speed of just slightly faster than the armored vehicle.

"This"

Diavolo, who shares the same senses as the King Crimson, also witnessed this bizarre scene:

"Isn't it chasing me?"

"With that kind of speed, why didn't you just chase after him instead of deliberately getting shot?"

"Could it be because..."

Anger and despair failed to corrupt the sanity of a Dark Emperor; he vaguely sensed something.

However, it was already too late.

Before the exact answer could fully emerge in Diavolo's mind, the lava-covered tentacles of the "Molten Giant Beast" had already reached out onto the armored vehicle.

"Damn it."

Diavolo's thoughts were abruptly interrupted.

He had to pull himself together and prioritize his own escape:

"King Crimson - Let Time Leap Forward!"

The King Crimson ignored him.

Because Diavolo had just used the Time Erasure too many times and for too long in a row, and had too little rest.

Human power has its limits, and even the so-called Dark Emperor is no exception.

At this moment, King Crimson cannot use Time Erasure at all.

Not even for a second.

"No way!"

Diavolo's face froze instantly.

Looking at the monster that was about to swallow him whole, he roared in despair:

"Don't come any closer!"

"Don't come near me!!"

Some readers may have objections to the reappearance of Big Big, or to Diavolo's seemingly indestructible nature. Here, I would like to emphasize the following:

This part of the plot is very important. If you have the patience to finish reading this book, you will understand that I am not using the old trick of resurrecting monsters and strengthening villains to pad the word count.

This was an important part of what I had in mind before I even started writing the book, which is why I specifically designed such a complex plot to send BIG underground instead of into the ocean.

If I weren't allowed to write it this way, I could finish it today and share it with everyone (;￣ェ￣).
