The atmosphere in the conference room of the city government building was quite harmonious. Mayor Moran was sitting at the head of the long table.
Opposite him sat Hayashida Nobuyoshi, who was introducing the basic situation of Donghe Country - population, resources, main industries, and foreign trade in fluent Victoria.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna sat next to Hayashida Nobuyoshi, with his hands on his knees and his eyes closed, as if he was taking a nap.
"--So, we hope to establish closer trade relations with Victoria."
Hayashida Nobuyoshi closed the document and pushed up his glasses. "Especially in shipbuilding technology, we have some things we can learn from each other."
Moran The mayor was about to speak when a violent explosion came from the east side of the city.
The sound was so loud that the glass windows of the conference room shook, the teacup jumped on the table, and the tea spilled out.
Moran The mayor stood up suddenly, his chair slid backwards and hit the wall.
The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a kind of confusion "Am I dreaming?"
What happened? What exploded?
No - he suddenly looked out the window. That direction... the direction of "G Trading Company", why did you choose this time to cause trouble?
He cursed in his mind, then quickly adjusted his expression, turned to the Donghe Country people, and forced a smile.
"Haha, um, that's... a company that's researching certain technologies. There may have been a slight mistake. I've warned them before..."
As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.
It's over, my achievements... He mentally greeted all the eighteen generations of the ancestors of that group of people.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna opened his eyes.
He looked at the rising gray smoke outside the window and felt the magic fluctuations in the air.
"There are strong men fighting."
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna looked at the mayor. "Mr. Mayor, we can continue talking after the matter is finished over there."
Kazama Hayato took the toothpick out of his mouth, and Kokonoe Yuki pressed his hand on the handle.
Hayashida Nobuyoshi frowned and closed the file.
The building's roof has disappeared.
Gravel and dust fell from the broken wall, and the sun shone in through the huge gap, illuminating the entire floor.
Chaluoke stood in the middle of the ruins, with his left hand still in the posture of releasing the spell.
His coat was covered with dust, but his expression was calm. "A rat in the gutter." He snorted disdainfully.
Venerable An stood opposite him, Tyrfing had already unsheathed his sword, and the dark purple sword blade glowed coldly in the sunlight.
There were a few scorch marks on his armor robe. He turned to look at Anasi next to him. "I hope the salary you gave me can be higher."
"Don't worry." Anasi raised the communicator to his mouth.
"Smith--Release Alpha Chimera."
In the corridor, Smith is sounding the emergency alarm.
A red warning light rotated on the ceiling, illuminating the entire corridor in red.
He heard the voice coming from the communicator and was stunned for a moment.
"What--Sir, what would--" His voice came from the communicator.
"Quick, the enemy has a legendary strongman."
"Yes." Smith gritted his teeth.
He stuffed the communicator into his arms, turned around and shouted to his assistant - "Go, contact all G Squad, evacuate the employees and leave."
Then he ran towards the basement. The assistant was stunned for a moment, and then he also started running.
On the street in the distance, Keluosi stopped.
He looked at the rising gray-white smoke to the east and the smoke cloud pouring out of the gap in the roof of the building.
"Oh, little Keluosi, let's go and have a look too." Leisaina's voice came from the side with a smile.
"The Salvation Society guys next to us seem to be staring at us."
"It doesn't matter, don't worry about them." Keluosi looked away, turned and walked towards the direction of the explosion.
The small town in the south of Karelia--no, they are no longer there.
Kaidezi panted, walking from one side of the teleportation array to the other, and then back to this side.
She was still holding in her hand the note passed from the intelligence network, which said - "Nuoyaji and his party have gone to Victoria Luenxi City, target: G Trading Company."
She and her colleagues had rushed to the small town in the south of Karelia, but the place was already deserted.
They came up short.
"Then let's go to G Organization's home."
Kaidezi crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket.
Then they took another teleportation array. This time they were teleported directly to the eastern coastal area of Victoria, not far from Luenxi City.
As soon as she stepped out of the teleportation array, she heard an explosion.
Kaidezi looked at the rising gray smoke. "They are indeed here."
"What should we do now?" my colleague asked.
"What else can we do? Help them." Kaidezi took a step forward.
Inside the building.
The battle between Chaluoke and Venerable An has moved from the sixth floor to the fourth floor.
They passed through the punctured floor, jumped from the hole in the ceiling, and continued fighting in the ruins on the next floor.
Every time Venerable An swings Tyrfing in his hand, it will leave a dark purple trace of light in the air.
When those light traces come into contact with Chaluoke's spell, they will absorb the energy of the spell.
This sword is very unfriendly to mages.
Chaluoke clicked his tongue and cast a speed spell on himself. A light blue light lit up around his body, and his speed increased a lot at that moment.
He punched the ground hard, punching a big hole in the floor, and jumped down.
Venerable An hesitated for a moment and then jumped down.
The two fell from the fourth floor to the third floor, from the third floor to the second floor, and then landed in the ruins on the first floor. Rubbles and dust fell from the holes above their heads.
Nuoyaji stood in the ruins, his gray-blue apprentice robe covered with dust.
He looked at the man standing by the window in front of him - blond hair, blue eyes, dark gray suit, tie tied meticulously. The man was also looking at him.
"Who are you?" Nuoyaji asked.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Anasi's voice was calm.
"My name is Nuoyaji."
Anasi tapped his fingers lightly on the window sill. "Your name... reminds me of a brand of mobile phone."
Nuoyaji frowned. "Mobile phone? What is it?"
"It doesn't matter, you don't need to know."
"So--you want to know why I did this?" Anasi asked.
"What to do?" Nuoyaji's hand tightened on the hilt of the sword.
"I want to kill King Ghidorah." Anasi's voice was very calm, as calm as saying, "The weather is good today."
Nuoyaji was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Anasi's calm face, even with a smile, and his brain was running rapidly at that moment - kill King Ghidorah?
Is this person crazy? Or does he have any confidence?
"You--"
"You should have guessed it. According to the information I received before, you are from Vagrian."
Anasi put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned slightly against the window frame, and relaxed his posture.
"To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine how a monster could become the emperor. I always thought that 'Titan's IQ is higher than that of humans' given by Monarch was just a nonsense theory."
Nuoyaji was silent as he digested the information.
"Can He speak?" Anasi asked.
"He--King Ghidorah?"
"Yes."
"Should... sort of do."
"Really? I really want to meet him and ask him some questions." Anasi's eyes fell on the sky outside the window.
"Then what?" Nuoyaji's voice.
"Then kill him." Anasi's voice was still so calm.
Nuoyaji's mouth twitched slightly. "You are just wishful thinking."
"I can't do it, but it can."
Anasi lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet. His gaze penetrated the floors, penetrated the foundation, and landed in the huge dark underground space.
"I participated in Salvation Society's 'New World'. Their 'New God'.
Now, their new god is almost completed - relying on the remaining creation of Evil God and the evil god summoned by Destruction and Revelation Society..."
Nuoyaji's expression changed.
"What?" His voice came out of his throat.
"Create the dead god with a new attitude."
Anasi raised his head.
"Although to me, it's just a cover to delay time..." He looked towards the ground.
That volcanic area.
The magma slowly flows in the cracks, and the red light reflects the entire sky like a piece of red-hot iron.
The air was scorching hot, and the smell of sulfur was so strong that it was pungent. The evil god lay on the ground.
It has been lying here for a long time, ever since it was summoned by Destruction and Revelation Society.
It's not that it wants to lie down, it's that it doesn't know where to go. This world is too strange, and the giant beasts flying over its head are too strong, so it feels that it is safer to lie down.
Then it felt wrong.
It opened its eyes suddenly and jumped out of the ground so fast that the gravel behind it was blown away by the air waves.
Its dark red eyes lit up at the same time, scanning the sky - there were several figures landing in the sky.
The evil god raised his head, opened his mouth, and prepared to make a declaration - "Ants, you are disturbing the great one -" it had not yet finished its words.
The leader took out a crystal covered with runes from his arms.
The evil god fell.
Its body froze in the light, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Its eyes were still open, but its body could not move.
Its magic power was being extracted by the crystal, as if someone had inserted a thick straw into its body and sucked out its marrow.
"The materials... are almost there." The leader put away the crystal, took out another crystal from his pocket, and handed it to the person next to him.
"Start it."
"New World."
