Luenxi City's stone road is not very smooth, and it doesn't feel good when you walk on it.
Moran The mayor's leather shoes stepped on the stone slabs that had been smoothed by time. From time to time, he would step on a raised edge and make a crisp clicking sound.
His pace was very fast, but not because he wanted to go fast, but because the few Donghe Country people around him were walking too fast.
Moran The mayor had to speed up his pace to keep up with them, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"We Donghe Country attach great importance to this cooperation -" Hayashida Nobuyoshi walked at the front. He spoke Victoria fluently, but at a fast pace, with a bit of nervousness that he was not even aware of.
As he walked, he looked through the folder in his hand, and his eyes under his glasses quickly scanned the dense text.
"We have carefully studied the draft trade agreement provided by your country. There are no problems with most of the provisions, and only a few require further consultation."
"Of course, of course." Mayor Moran nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna walked in the center of the team, his steps were steady, his hands were inserted into the sleeves of his kimono, and his expression could not be seen clearly under the bamboo hat.
His eyes swept over the buildings on both sides of the street, over the vendors setting up stalls on the roadside, and over the children playing in the alley.
Then the ground shook.
It was as if something slammed upward from the ground, and the entire street was like a sheet of cloth being shaken violently at that moment.
The stone road bounced up and then fell, and the dust in the gaps was blown out. Moran The mayor's body shook suddenly, and he held on to the street lamp next to him.
Hayashida Nobuyoshi's folder slipped from his hand, and the papers were scattered on the floor. Kamiizumi Nobutsuna stood there without moving his feet.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's face moved slightly.
The last time the ground shook, he was at Vagrian Arena, and the ground cracked... That was the first time he had seen that kind of power.
Moran The mayor is very confused at the moment.
What's going on? An earthquake?
He can't be so unlucky. He just changed into a new set of clothes this morning and went to the barber shop to trim his beard, preparing to show a good image of a Victoria official in front of Donghe Country people.
If the earthquake stained his clothes, how would he explain it to his wife when he went back? A series of thoughts flashed through his mind.
The shaking suddenly stopped.
Moran The mayor laughed.
His laughter was a little dry and forced, but he was trying to make it sound relaxed and natural. "Haha - maybe it's a little joke Dadi played on us."
He walked back from the street lamp, patted the dust on his sleeves, and adjusted his collar.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
They nodded and continued to walk towards the city hall, ready to talk about specific cooperation matters.
In the distance, Nuoyaji stood up from the bench.
His eyes retracted from the direction of the shock and fell on Chaluoke's face.
There was an "earthquake" not long after His Majesty left. No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for the two of you to have nothing to do with it.
"G?" Nuoyaji's voice.
"High probability." Chaluoke stood up from the bench and buttoned his coat.
"Let's go take a look first." Nuoyaji turned around and waved to the owner of the food stall.
"How much?"
"Fifteen more." The boss's voice came from behind the stall.
Nuoyaji took out a Karelia gold coin from his pocket... it was money anyway, and put it on the table.
Then they acted quickly.
Chaluoke took his hand out of his pocket, and there were light blue light spots condensing on his fingertips.
Na'er's staff was taken off from behind, and Yifula was picked up by Na'er, with his arms around Na'er's neck.
In underground space.
Anasi stood in front of the multi-layer isolation layer that was directly penetrated, frowning slightly.
His expression did not change, but his fingers tapped lightly on the cover of the folder. The four isolation layers of high-strength special material were directly penetrated.
The thickness of each layer of isolation layer is more than half a meter. The material is the most cutting-edge scientific research result of Victoria military industry, which can withstand the full blow of Sixth Tier strong man.
They were punched through and torn to pieces like paper.
"Four high-strength special material isolation layers were directly penetrated. Preliminary speculation is that the opponent is at least Sixth Tier strong, or higher."
Smith stood behind him, holding the thick folder in his hand, his voice a little dry.
"Really?" Anasi looked towards the entrance of the cave.
"Look for G Squad and recover the body of this intruder." Anasi's voice was calm.
"Yes." Smith lowered his head.
Anasi is not worried about whether the other party is still alive. Because it is that existence underground, which robs all life.
He walked to the elevator and pressed the button.
The elevator door slowly opened, revealing the narrow metal box inside.
He walked in and pressed the bottom button.
"Sir - that thing is uncontrollable..." Smith's voice squeezed in through the crack in the door.
Anasi has no answer.
He closed his eyes and thought back to the first time he saw that thing.
That was a few years ago, not long after he came to this world.
He discovered the underground space in a forgotten mountain range. The entrance was blocked by gravel and soil, and it took him a long time to dig out.
He walked into the darkness and used magic props picked up from the ruins to illuminate. The light was very weak and could only illuminate a small area of the ground in front of him. He walked for a long time, one step at a time, and then his light hit the egg.
The egg was on a stone platform, and the surface of the stone platform was covered with characters he didn't recognize.
The words shone slightly under the light, illuminating the entire space. He stood there and looked at them for a long time.
From that egg, he felt a pure raw energy that he had never felt before.
It doesn't require magic, it doesn't require any known power system.
He realized from the first moment he saw it that it could carry the power of "crystal".
The "shell" of that thing can withstand that energy, and the "core" of that thing can transform that energy.
Anasi stepped out of the elevator and walked to the thing.
The egg was still suspended there, the halo slowly rotating around the egg, and a light green shimmer flowing on the surface of the egg.
The man in black was still lying on the ground.
Anasi didn't look at him. He looked at the egg, watching the light green light flowing on the surface of the egg.
"You should feel honored to be the food of this great creation." Anasi's voice was very soft.
"Although you may not want to." He placed his palm on the surface of the egg, feeling the heartbeat-like pulse coming from the inside of the egg.
He recalled that time.
Memories come flooding back like a tide.
That was an ordinary afternoon.
He was sitting in his office with a thick stack of experimental data in front of him. The sky outside the window was blue and the sun was shining brightly.
His wife called and said that her child was praised by the teacher at school today and she wanted to go out for dinner to celebrate.
He said yes.
Then the sky changed.
Not metaphorically, literally - the sky has changed.
The blue sky turned into gray-black in a few seconds. It was not dark clouds, but something thicker and entity-like pressing down.
Huge waves were set off on the sea. Those waves were not pushed from a distance, but "grown" from the sea, as if something had opened its hands under the sea.
He ran out of the office building and into the street.
The streets are already in chaos.
People were screaming, running, being trampled. Cars honking, glass breaking - all the sounds mixed together like a boiling chowder.
Then it's like sea water pouring in...
After an unknown amount of time, seawater surged in from around him, and the cold and biting seawater poured into his mouth, into his nose, and into his lungs.
He held his wife and children in his arms, holding the corners of their clothes with his fingers until his knuckles turned white. They were floating on a broken wooden board, which was so small that it could only accommodate one person.
His wife handed him the child and let go.
He watched her sink into the water.
He looked at the flooded city as the aircraft carrier fleet fired continuously in the sky. The flashes of artillery flashed like stars in the night sky.
Countless fighters filled the sky, swooping down from the clouds, and missiles trailing long white trails as they flew toward the red figure.
The crimson figure flew out of the clouds, and the strong wind caused by flapping its wings blew away the fighter planes like pieces of paper and set the warships on fire one by one.
Its body passed over the aircraft carrier fleet, its wingtips brushed against the island of an aircraft carrier, cutting the island in half in the middle.
It rolled in the air, then swooped down, crashing through the deck of another aircraft carrier. Flames poured out from the interior of the aircraft carrier, engulfing the soldiers who were still running.
Humanity's weapons were easily destroyed.
Just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, those war machines that took countless resources and manpower to build were like paper in front of it.
There is also the master hidden in the hurricane who really initiates the destruction.
He saw the golden three-headed beast emerging from the storm...
Now, Anasi looks up.
He looked at the egg and stroked it.
"You will."
"You will end everything - end all destruction, end all powerful immortal things."
His voice is very low.
"Kill them."
