Inside the CCG meeting room, at a long table shrouded in smoke, Marude Sai had just deflected a "distress order," his voice still carrying the lingering force of a reprimand.

"I don't care about the chief's orders. No one is allowed to leave until the cause of the explosion is determined..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden burst of red light outside the window pierced the dimness of the conference room, as if someone had crushed a "mushroom bomb" and splashed it into the sky above Tokyo.

Marude Sai's words caught in his throat, and all the meeting participants froze instantly, turning their heads to look out the window.

That fiery tornado, powerful enough to devour the heavens and earth, was hovering in the southwest corner, in the territory of Shibuya, Tokyo.

The fire column, estimated to be at least 500 meters high, billowed with black smoke, turning the night sky a fiery red. Even through the thick glass, one could vaguely feel the heat wave.

"What...what was that?! A tornado!?" A first-class investigator stood up in disbelief.

Marutei's pupils contracted sharply, his knuckles turned white from clenching his fists, and his usually calm and composed face was filled with disbelief and shock.

He stared intently at the catastrophic tornado, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times.

He knew all too well what was in that place.

"The meeting is adjourned. I'll be going out for a bit."

He whirled around, grabbed the communicator from the table, and turned it on as he walked, his voice unusually urgent: "Immediately retrieve all surveillance footage around Hexiu Manor! Investigate! What the hell is that thing!"

At the same time, have the technical department control online rumors, and silence all those with radical language! At this point, forget about human rights; I'll take responsibility for whatever happens!

This level of destruction was beyond his comprehension.

Once they enter the city, the consequences will be unimaginable!

……

Fujiwara Daichi's office is located on the top floor in the heart of Tokyo, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the city's nightscape.

He was reviewing a document about the "Parasyte Quarantine Zone Plan" on his computer screen when the rhythm of his fingers tapping on the keyboard suddenly stopped.

The moment the loud bang came from outside, I instinctively looked out the window.

It was no longer night outside the window.

Half of Tokyo was illuminated.

He froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

A fiery tornado raged through the night, billowing black smoke that blotted out the sky, making even the distant skyscrapers appear tiny.

Fujiwara Daichi slowly stood up and walked to the French windows, where his surprised and uncertain face was reflected.

"What's going on?"

……

In the top-floor conference room of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, core members of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu were sitting around discussing an acquisition project.

The Four Palaces Cloud Eagle and the Four Palaces Azure Dragon faction were locked in a stalemate, each wanting a piece of the pie.

Just as Shigong Yanan, seated in the main seat, picked up his teacup, the red light from outside the window shone in.

"What's going on?" Shinomiya Yanan frowned and looked up. Before he could finish speaking, everyone was stunned into silence by the sight outside the window.

The fiery tornado, like a colossal beast rising from hell, dyed half the sky blood red.

……

It's not just humans; those "abnormalities" are even better able to see the true nature of things.

Take, for example, a circus owner who recently moved his circus to a small town near Tokyo.

Looking at the ominous vortex tornado, his lips twitched.

Was it a mistake for him to move here?

"This feeling... is it that child from the vortex? They're really acting recklessly."

……

The handsome guy driving the ice cream truck felt the same way.

"Is that it? It doesn't seem like it... the pollution level is too low..."

After sharing my thoughts, I watched the ever-growing fire tornado, then decisively stepped on the gas and drove away from the real world.

They drove into an unknown area filled with blood.

Regardless of whether it is that thing or not, he doesn't want to encounter it!

……

At the same time, those ghostly things in the neon lights who clearly understood what the vortex represented all chose to temporarily avoid the limelight.

Unlike the time in Tombstone Town, this time the power was confined to one place.

This vortex shows absolutely no sign of being controlled.

Although the pollution is small, it is constantly spreading outwards from the center.

Like a newly hatched baby animal, it bares its teeth and claws to declare its existence.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Hexiu family manor.

Despite protecting her vital organs, Yoshimura Eto, who showed no signs of pain, opened her eyes.

"This is……?"

Feeling the tornado spinning rapidly around him, completely crushing everything around him into dust, he subconsciously looked at Mercury sitting on the ruins.

The ghouls of the Bronze Tree, the ghouls of the Washuu family, the half-humans, and the surrounding buildings and trees were all swept up in it, leaving only the two of them alive.

Yoshimura Eto sensed it subtly; although the fire tornado was violent, it was like a pre-programmed sequence and did not harm her.

You can't even feel the temperature.

The surrounding area was already ablaze.

"Did you make this?" Yoshimura Eto asked in a deep voice.

Shedding her ghoul-like form, her petite body, wrapped in bandages, stood behind Mercury.

"Ah, it was me." Mercury stared blankly at the "tornado".

They were right in the eye of the storm.

He didn't avoid those ghouls and monsters; he was instantly incinerated and engulfed in their carcasses.

His mind was still foggy, and he couldn't quite process what was happening.

The instant the explosion occurred, he subconsciously used the vortex ability.

In an instant, a tornado was created, and even the ethereal temperature began to spin.

He felt that the vortex could expand "infinitely" if he wanted to.

It wasn't like this when it first came out.

"I never knew you had this ability," Yoshimura Eto said softly.

Just looking at the scorched earth, she could feel just how terrifying the heat was.

And what about the uprooted trees and buildings? How fast must the wind have been during that tornado?

Three hundred kilometers per hour? Or four hundred kilometers per hour?

"Don't speak, let me have some peace and quiet." Mercury watched this scene in unusual silence.

With a casual wave of his hand, the fiery tornado expanded once more.

Its length soars into the sky, and its diameter reaches nearly a kilometer.

Now, if he wants to, he can easily paralyze several cities with a single trip.

"This is absolutely terrifying," Yoshimura Eto said gravely.

Although she wasn't harmed, just watching this scene made one feel the terror of nature.

Compared to this natural disaster, missiles seem so kind and approachable.

"Yes, this is absolutely terrifying..." Mercury wholeheartedly agreed.

Why does it have such great power?

The "Vortex" is still in Black Nest Town, isn't it?

He was clearly still so "weak" when he came out last time.

When I called Shuichi last time, everything in the town seemed normal.

"Let's play one more."

I took out my phone, and sure enough, there was no signal. The line was completely paralyzed, and information was blocked.

"Tsk, that damned Kazuya."

Yoshimura Ete: "..."

"I think we should stop this for now?"

Mercury: "...That makes sense."
