Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 174 If there is no savior who falls from the sky, then I will become the savior!

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar came from the depths of the earth, like a tiger returning to the forest, or a lion hunting zebras on the African savanna. The sound was full of wildness and a joy of regaining freedom.

"what sound?"

The young Bai Yuekui hurriedly wiped away his drool.

She didn't know what the sound was, but it certainly wasn't coming from the earth's crust itself.

“It sounds like the roar of some kind of creature.” Horn pushed up his glasses. “The earth is cracking open; maybe some underground creature is crawling up.”

Horn thought of the ancient giant he had seen at Bai Jingyu's base.

That ancient giant was salvaged from the depths of the ocean trench by Bai Jingyu's Nirvana Research Institute.

Perhaps there exists an unknown ecosystem beneath the Earth's crust, just like in Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth."

The giant vines emerging from the depths of the earth and the deafening roar at this moment are proof of this!

Prior to this, humans had never discovered such terrifying vines that could tear through reinforced concrete, nor had they found any giant creatures underground, except for the ancient giant that Bai Jingyu salvaged.

“It’s a Devouring Beast.” Bai Yuekui took a deep breath.

The hovercars in the sky swayed from side to side as if they were drunk, making one worry that they would fall down.

"The ability to release large-scale, continuous electromagnetic interference suggests that it is likely a king-level Devouring Beast that has been dormant since the last mass extinction!" Bai Yuekui said slowly.

"A king-level Devouring Beast?" Horn looked puzzled.

Bai Yuekui nodded.

Her gaze gradually turned cold: "The King-level Devouring Beast is a high-ranking existence among Devouring Beasts. Devouring Beasts that reach this level can not only release electromagnetic interference, but also forcibly deprive humans of their life essence."

"Unafraid of high temperatures, unfazed by radiation."

"The high concentration of bromine mist surrounding its body can withstand the bombardment of gunpowder weapons, and even nuclear bombs have difficulty in causing effective damage to the King-level Devouring Beast."

The destruction of human civilization, allowing the Mana ecosystem to dominate the entire planet, was not solely due to earthquakes and civil war.

Ecology itself is an extremely formidable enemy.

Horn was extremely surprised.

He asked, "Is this kind of subterranean creature called a Devouring Beast? When did Mayor Bai discover it?"

"According to you, if the King-level Devouring Beasts are so powerful that even nuclear bombs can't destroy them, isn't this place extremely dangerous?"

Bai Yuekui sighed softly.

“These are just common traits among all King-level Devouring Beasts,” she continued.

“Each King-level Devouring Beast is favored by the Mana ecosystem and has unlocked abilities similar to those of human superhumans on its evolutionary path. These abilities are what make King-level Devouring Beasts truly terrifying.”

"A king-level Devouring Beast is the commander among Devouring Beasts; a single one can destroy a heavily guarded city."

Horn opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

In his opinion, Bai Yuekui's description was too exaggerated, but as long as he looked up, he could see the earth vines towering into the depths of the clouds not far away.

Given the existence of these magical vines underground, it's not impossible that the terrifying creature described by Bai Yuekui also exists there.

But how should Mayor Bai deal with the appearance of this monster in Hisakawa?
Are they going to drop a nuclear bomb on Hisakawa's own land?

Bai Yuekui's eyes deepened.

As expected, the Mana prototype in this world was affected by the parallel universe, changing its strategy of gradual progress and immediately awakening a king-level Devouring Beast.

Did they realize that Gray had sided with his father and that Hisakawa wouldn't collapse from within?

But I will never let you succeed in severely injuring or even destroying Jiuchuan with a king-level Devouring Beast!
"Take Professor Horn away from here." Bai Yuekui gripped his Alaya consciousness and walked towards the direction from which the voice came.

"Where are you going?" the young Bai Yuekui asked.

Without turning his head, Bai Yuekui said, "I'll go stop it."

"You?" The young Bai Yuekui was stunned.

From the crack in the distance, a triangular head resembling a mantis emerged, like a mountain.

Upon closer inspection, its head was entirely pieced together from various insect arthropods, like a grotesque corpse stitched together from the remains of countless giant insects.

"Roar!!!"

It raised its head and roared.

Its ferocious mouth opened to the sides, and visible sound waves spread in all directions.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
The terrifying electromagnetic interference spread, and the hovercars that were still in the air and had not yet landed were struck as if by lightning.

Their lights went out completely, and their engines stalled in mid-air.

Accompanied by the terrified screams of the passengers inside, the hovercar plummeted straight down, exploding into sparks upon hitting the ground.

"Roar!!!"

Another roar.

A thick blue mist rose from the earth, surging towards it like a tide.

It revealed a greedy expression.

These blue halos came from the dead beneath the ruins.

These people died when the disaster first occurred, but the life essence in their bodies had not yet dissipated. At this moment, they were all pulled away by an invisible force.

Some of the light mist maintained the outline of a human figure.

They struggled to break free from the invisible pull, but to no avail.

"what are these?"

The young Bai Yuekui exclaimed in surprise, "A soul?"

She looked at Bai Yuekui, who was walking further and further away, and hesitated. "Teacher?" Horn nodded.

He saw his disciple's dilemma and said in a deep voice, "Go after her."

"The earthquake is over, rescue teams are everywhere, and the monster isn't with me anymore. I can walk back by myself."

Young Bai Yuekui gritted his teeth: "Then I'll go!"

"teacher!"

"Keep yourself safe!"

Horn nodded slightly.

The young Bai Yuekui chased after his "older sister's" retreating figure.

"Roar!!!"

The king-level Devouring Beast let out another deafening roar.

Its body was so large that even though the cracks created by the earthquake were big enough to swallow an entire street, they were still not wide enough for it to squeeze through. So it stretched out two sharp forelimbs that were hundreds of meters long and frantically slashed at the earth.

The construction that took millions of dollars and several months to complete was reduced to nothing in an instant.

The earth collapsed, and the king-level Devouring Beast roared as it stood up.

Two legs were driven deep into the earth, and four arms were spread out to the left and right. The clouds were shattered, and huge gaps appeared in the sunlight on the ground, making it dark and cold, as if a piece of the sun had been eaten away.

The king-level Devouring Beast roared to the sky, and many red eyes opened on its body at the same time.

The blue light mist, seemingly emanating from the soul, surged toward it. These were the phantoms of struggling and suffering humans, while the king-level Devouring Beasts, bathed in this blue light mist, bared their fangs and claws, like demon gods descending to earth!
The young Bai Yuekui looked up at the King-level Devouring Beast, his still somewhat childish face showing fear, and a barely perceptible blue light shining from his pores.

This is a precursor to the separation of the life source substance from the body.

She said, trembling, "What the hell is this?"

The king-level Devouring Beast stood tall, its presence no less imposing than the skyscrapers beside it.

Before this, the largest living creature on Earth was the whale, which could reach tens of meters in length. Many people developed megalophobia because of the size of whales. But in front of this king-level Devouring Beast, the whale was like a cute little child.

Bai Yuekui, who was walking towards the king-level Devouring Beast, was smaller than an ant!
"Come back quickly! Danger!"

The young Bai Yuekui gritted his teeth and continued to chase after the "older sister" ahead.

She's going completely crazy.

How arrogant does a person have to be to have such an absurd idea as "I'll block it"?

We might as well just capture Tang Sanzang!
Bai Yuekui stood still.

The young Bai Yuekui caught up, panting, and said, "Don't go any further, let's go back quickly. This monster is not something you can handle. We should call the army!"

A clear blue light emanated from beneath her skin.

At this moment, she is like a water-filled balloon; with just a gentle poke, that invisible barrier will disappear, and her life essence will be taken away.

She could feel it herself.

With each step she took to catch up, she felt like she was about to faint.

Standing next to Bai Yuekui, she had a splitting headache and her body was almost unresponsive.

But she cannot back down yet.

She had to bring Bai Yuekui back.

No matter how dangerous it was, she couldn't abandon her sister and watch her go to her death!

"Since that person already knew the end of the world was coming and that the vines would appear today, he must have already planned how to deal with it. You can just watch the show from the back!"

"you are human!"

"I'm not Ultraman, so I can't fight monsters or save the world!"

Young Bai Yuekui was in great pain.

She was bent over, and her mouth emitted a blue light as she spoke.

Her face was full of expectation, hoping that Bai Yuekui would stop here, go back with her, and not continue forward.

Bai Yuekui said calmly, "We did indeed come up with a solution, and that solution is me."

"Huh?" The young Bai Yuekui asked, puzzled.

Bai Yuekui looked up at the towering, cloud-piercing King-level Devouring Beast and said expressionlessly, "What you just said is right. I am a human, not Ultraman."

"But the monster is right in front of me, and my world is being destroyed."

"Without a savior descending from the heavens, what should I do? Should I just watch as monsters destroy everything I cherish?"

Her words have a mysterious magic.

In her voice, some of the young Bai Yuekui's pain dissipated.

Young Bai Yuekui suddenly realized that her "sister" was incredibly calm, not like someone who was going crazy and throwing her life away. Moreover, her "sister" wasn't glowing, seemingly completely unaffected by the King-level Devouring Beast.

She gritted her teeth and said, "I can see that you're different from me!"

"But what do you want to do, and what can you do, when faced with this monster that isn't even afraid of nuclear bombs?" she cried out.

Bai Yuekui has his back to his younger self.

She placed her hand on the hilt of the knife in the Alaya consciousness and gradually tightened her grip.

The howling wind, mixed with the roars of the king-level Devouring Beasts, pounded on people's eardrums. The floating vehicles crashed into the ruins and exploded into burning fireballs. The life essence of tens of thousands of people converged into a bright blue galaxy, illuminating the dark earth.

The wind howls, and souls wail.

Amidst the chaos, Bai Yuekui's voice pierced through the surrounding noise.

"I can draw my sword."
