At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Roar roar roar roar—"

The back of the giant-toothed double-jawed beast was covered with burning white phosphorus, as if it were carrying a volcano on its back. It painfully raised its upper body and roared with its jaws open.

The roaring sound created sound waves that caused visible shockwaves in the air.

However, at an altitude of several hundred meters, the sound waves from fighter jets no longer pose a threat by the time they arrive.

"Damn it! He's burned like that and he's still so energetic," the pilot cursed.

"The First Air Combat Column has completed its operations and is preparing to return to base for ammunition loading."

The 2nd Air Combat Column conducted its second round of white phosphorus bomb drops.

"Yes, sir," the armed helicopter commander responded.

Hundreds of armed helicopters flew over the Devouring Beast horde and began dropping white phosphorus bombs, which fell carpet-like onto the horde.

However, after being subjected to the first round of carpet bombing, the Devouring Beasts began to disperse, but instead of fleeing, they continued to charge towards London, completely disregarding the carpet bombing.

"Roar!" A medium-sized Devouring Beast was hit by more than a dozen special white phosphorus bullets. Its whole body was burning with dazzling white flames. It roared in pain. In the end, the white phosphorus bullets burned through its skin. Blue light could be seen from the burned holes. After being hit by a rocket, its body collapsed into the Breath of Earth.

In densely populated urban areas, modern firepower is hampered because even a single explosion could cause casualties among ordinary people.

However, once in the wild, the full power of modern firearms is unleashed. In a systematic combat operation, even a horde of thousands of Devouring Beasts can be easily defeated.

Of course, this is on the premise that the combat area has not been completely polluted into a 'Mana ecosystem', otherwise the Devouring Beasts can resurrect indefinitely.

Just then, a crimson energy projectile shot into the sky from the smoke on the ground and hit an armed helicopter.

boom!

The armed helicopter was instantly blown up and spun out of control in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

Boom—The armed helicopter exploded the moment it hit the ground.

"Shit! It's one of those Devouring Beasts that can attack from a distance, it's Earth Roar! Dedicate some firepower to it and prevent it from charging up its energy!" the attack helicopter commander cursed.

"receive."

Da da da da—

As the attack helicopters dropped incendiary bombs, their cannons were aimed at the crimson-chinned, charging roars of the ground.

In just half an hour, the beast horde of over a thousand Devouring Beasts was almost completely wiped out, and the remaining Devouring Beasts were all mutilated.

Since the Mana ecosystem is not yet fully formed, limbs that are blown apart cannot be repaired by their own abilities. However, if it is a penetrating wound like that caused by a gun, as long as the Spirit Seed is not broken, the Devouring Beast can repair itself with its own life essence.

Beneath the blasted skeleton of the Devouring Beast on the battlefield, eyeballs the size of human eyes were splitting apart.

The eyeball has no body or brain; it is just an independent eye covered with tentacles that move and disperse at extremely high speeds.

They are activated tumors that can connect to the Mana Flower through special bio-waves.

Once they have absorbed enough life essence, they can quickly transform into new Mana flowers.

The combat personnel on the helicopter were completely unaware of their presence.

[The third wave of drone strike groups will conduct close reconnaissance of living creatures, capturing as many as possible; otherwise, they will be incinerated with white phosphorus bombs.]

After confirming safety, the tank and armored vehicle marine column conducted manual mopping-up operations.

"Roar roar roar roar—" The colossal giant-toothed double-jawed beast was hit by a barrage of fire. After being struck by dozens of white phosphorus shells, more than a hundred rockets, and hundreds of armor-piercing shells, its body was riddled with craters. The enormous spirit seeds could be seen through its skeleton. After the spirit seeds were hit by rockets, the huge shell disintegrated, leaving behind a massive skeleton that was seventy meters long.

Meanwhile, the pitch-black soil slowly seeped into the ground.

From above, several kilometers of plains were ablaze with white smoke. The once green land had turned a dark gray, and skeletons of all sizes were scattered across the gray earth, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.

Meanwhile, hundreds of swarms had crossed the Royal Army's operational deployment area, some even coming within a few hundred meters of the command battalion.

A small eye tumor crawled slightly onto a rock, its pupils contracting as it gazed at the soldiers loading and unloading shells.

In its eyes, they were all golden life essence in human form.

"Hiss hiss hiss..." The eye tumor made a sound, but it did not run over. Instead, it looked into the distance, where the life essence gathered together to form an ocean of light, and its excited tentacles twisted wildly.

Chapter 50: The Eye Tumor Army Infiltrates on a Large Scale, Buyer's Consciousness Descends

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

Hundreds of eye tumors easily bypassed all the Royal Army's defenses. Defenses? Perhaps the hastily mobilized combat troops were not equipped with instruments to detect such small mana creatures and simply ignored these eye tumors as ordinary small animals.

These eye tumors quickly dispersed, with most heading rapidly towards the city of London, some blending into the combat forces, and a small portion heading towards the 'Supernatural Management Committee Headquarters' emitting the bio-electric waves of the Devouring Beasts.

Only the size of a human eyeball, and possessing a concealed subjective consciousness, they were able to infiltrate tanks and armored vehicles unnoticed by army soldiers. They hid in dark corners, yearning for the life essence before them.

"Reporting to the commander, the cleanup is complete, leaving only 11 live animals," a commander said to General Roberts, who was chugging a glass of red wine.

"Understood, give everyone a bonus." Roberts waved his hand, not caring whether the bonuses would actually be distributed or how much would ultimately reach the soldiers.

Once the soldiers are dissatisfied, the guy who embezzled the bonus will be brought to a military court to win over the soldiers' loyalty. As for the guy who went to the military court, a scapegoat will be found later. After all, they are all descendants of British nobles, so even if they have committed a crime, it won't be a big deal.

If a soldier commits a crime, that won't do; it must be handled strictly according to legal procedures.

"Hey James, what is your 'Supernatural Management Committee' doing? You didn't even know the Devouring Beasts were approaching London! I'm going to impeach you and have Parliament cut part of your budget!" Roberts roared into the phone.

"Oh dear, don't be angry, Admiral Roberts. My longevity potion project has made great progress. It's not good to get angry at a time like this."

"Oh? There's really progress?" Roberts' expression changed.

Longevity potions and extraordinary potions are supported by the vast majority of members of parliament in most countries, which means that the entire national leadership is fully supporting them.

He said that cutting the budget of the "Supernatural Management Committee" was just a casual remark, and anyone who dared to mess with it would be torn apart by all the members of parliament, nobles, and big domestic capital, including some international capital.

"That's right, we have already extracted divine power from the Devouring Beast. Hehehe, just wait for the extraordinary potion to be released soon."

"Good, good, good, hahaha." General Roberts laughed heartily, he would remain in this commander's position for hundreds of years to come.

Unbeknownst to him, a gray eyeball slowly crawled into the hem of his trousers, its pupils contracting and its tentacles releasing a pale green gas.

These gases are 'mantle vine spores'. Any plant or animal infected by these spores will mutate. If they are lucky, they will mutate into humanoid Devourer Beasts. If they are unlucky, their genes will collapse, their muscles and internal organs will rot, and they will become a green corpse.

This is how the mantle vine initially invaded the environment: by releasing spores, it infected a wide range of plants and animals, and it was extremely contagious, affecting both animals and plants.

With current human technology, there is absolutely no way to cure or prevent this infection, and even if technology advances by another thirty or forty years, the possibility of a cure is still very slim.

“What’s that smell? Achoo!” Roberts sneezed, and tiny spores entered his nasal cavity.

The same thing is happening in tanks and troop carriers.

Time passed quickly, and in less than an hour, the tumors had reached the outskirts of London, a major international metropolis, and they continued to release spores as they moved.

At the same time, it is constantly absorbing the life essence of plants and animals to undergo self-division.

Environmental erosion through spore infection is not immediately effective; it requires a period of fermentation.

"Hiss~" A group of eye tumors arrived at the headquarters of the 'Supernatural Management Committee'. The eye tumors saw a three-dimensional world composed of lines and quickly found the ventilation ducts and sewage pipes and crawled inside.

……

When a large swarm of eye tumors reached the outskirts of London, they had already split into thousands.

Their purpose is not to directly attack humans and absorb life essence, but to directly spread spores to dismantle the original ecology and paralyze human resistance.

Having already destroyed a world with a more advanced technology than this one, they have accumulated rich experience in how to target human civilization.

Humans possess advanced technology, but the human body itself is incredibly fragile. Infecting just one person can lead to that person infecting many more, creating a chain reaction.

"Hiss hiss hiss~"

What the eye tumor saw was a sea of ​​life essence light where individual life essences gathered together, and they excitedly twitched their tentacles and made sounds.

Far away in the hills of northern England, the Mana flower, through biosensing, began to rhythmically pulsate with the pink life-giving light emanating from its body; it was issuing commands.

The tumors spread rapidly, rushing towards London in an encircling formation.

Just then, a 'God's Eye' appeared out of thin air in front of an eye tumor that had grown to the size of a fist.

No, no monster is allowed into human cities.

An ethereal female voice emanated from the 'Eye of God'.

Before the eye tumor could react, a burst of emerald green elemental energy erupted, spreading rapidly outwards.

"Hiss!" The tumor turned to ashes the instant it was hit, and then a large area of ​​tumors was destroyed.

Then the Eye of God transformed into a beam of light and flew towards other areas at an extremely fast speed, not quite as fast as a bullet, but not far off.

From an ordinary person's perspective, they would only see faint ripples of light appearing briefly in one area, and would simply think they were seeing things.

The Eye of God stopped after scanning a large area.

The distance is too far; we can only do a rough cleanup. The rest is up to them.

The moment the words disappeared, the 'Eye of God' also vanished into thin air.

This is because Buyer discovered the huge crisis here through the internet, so he transmitted his consciousness here through the 'Eye of God' left by Los Santos.

In a deserted corner of London, a group of 49 people gradually gathered.

“Everyone arrived earlier than I agreed,” the dashing blond youth said.

"Haha, Captain Allen, if it's you, of course we'll come. Besides, this is our first time following you in a battle against demons." The bearded middle-aged man revealed his yellowed teeth from smoking.

“Yes, ever since you taught us ‘Source Awakening,’ I’ve wanted to follow you and do something great all the time.” Another middle-aged man said, clenching his fist, “I don’t want my children to live in hell in the future.”

Another middle-aged man gritted his teeth: "Who isn't? The thought of my wife and children living in fear because of these monsters breaks my heart."

Allen looked at the crew members he had once helped and said, “Very well, everyone. This time I have heard a divine revelation. Many evil eyes will be mixed into London, and they will bring despair to the people of London. That is why I have gathered you all here.”

Since returning home last night, he has been teaching the method of 'Source Awakening' to people he considers to be of good character.

Almost everyone experienced a surge of willpower on the very night he taught, and some even entered a 'turbulent state' directly.

Chapter 51: I am King Arthur, the Thirteenth Round Table

When they first activate their 'willpower,' they can deliver a punch with more force than a boxing champion. However, once that moment of willpower ends, they will be plagued by soreness all over their body, or even the pain of muscle tearing.

Once you enter the 'turbulent state', you can stably reach a state of physical arousal, and your reaction, speed, and other aspects will surpass those of ordinary people by a large margin, even surpassing those of top professional athletes.

I really don't know what kind of abilities they will awaken during the 'Source Awakening'.

Allen himself skipped the first two steps to awaken his Source Essence in one night. Everyone's situation is different, and he can't compare himself to them.

His awakened ability is 'muscle control'. When he enters the awakened state, he can control the stretching and explosiveness of every muscle in his body, and can even use the stretching between muscles to transfer kinetic energy.
