In the command center, faced with the terrible news brought by these outsiders, the Holy Emperor gave a bitter smile.

"Osaka, Sendai, and Hakata have already fallen, and Hokkaido is completely cut off from all contact. With tens of millions of people in various parts of Tokyo, where can they go even if they evacuate?"

Gastrea have already taken over the oceans, making sea transport virtually impossible. As for land transport, on one side the Big Giants are blocking the way, and on the other side, Gastrea are practically staring, waiting to feast!

And even if they escape, it's only a matter of time before these BIG devour the entire world.

The indoor environment was extremely oppressive, with only the constant roaring sounds in the distance. Tokyo was already in chaos, and now, under this unseen threat, it was filled with even greater panic.

"You brought this trouble upon yourselves, so go and solve it! Aren't you all very capable?"

Rentaro Satomi hysterically grabbed Polnareff's clothes and punched him hard. Polnareff didn't say a word and let Rentaro beat him.

Polnareff's fingernails dug into his skin, and he felt remorse if only he still had his insect arrow, if only it hadn't been lost...

But there are no "what ifs" or "what ifs," and even if he still had the Silver Battlefield Requiem, it wouldn't have made much difference.

Requiem's ​​control over Stands is based on the premise of controlling the soul, but BIG doesn't have such a thing. The Stands released after Sato's original body died are pure calamities.

At this point, it would be hindsight to say anything. They were there, powerless to watch as their fellow reincarnators brought new disasters to the world.

At this moment, they have never had a deeper understanding of their identity as reincarnators than now—in a sense, they are the embodiment of constantly bringing change and disaster.

When the supreme deity approves of rewarding points for destruction itself, you should never expect a moral compass from a group of people who don't even have to pay the basic price of death.

Moreover, it's much easier to be a bad guy and cause trouble than to be a good guy.

The wisdom of emptiness and white is ineffective, the power of the Stand users is negligible, and technology cannot even touch them.

In that not-so-distant place, the unbridled BIG is brandishing its claws, advancing step by step amidst roars inaudible to ordinary people...

The overhead lights suddenly went out, plunging us into darkness, and the night gradually swallowed everything in front of us.

And at that very moment, in the center of the sky over Tokyo.

A figure stood there, watching the colossal creature that had landed from the ocean, relentlessly engulfing and destroying the entire city.

Yosuke Shima, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. But he was once the savior of Granbahamar, an all-powerful persuader who could communicate with everything.

—Stop! You are causing irreparable damage!

Through the spirit, Yosuke Shima solemnly warned these BIGs.

But he received no response, or rather, all he could sense from these monsters born of pure malice was a pure, devouring desire to capture everything.

“…Very good, I understand.”

Yosuke Shima no longer showed any pity or kindness towards anything that was beyond redemption and posed a threat to the gods. He raised his hand, closed his eyes, and communicated with the spirit.

These BIG (Big Guys) are immune to physical damage, but that doesn't mean they are invincible.

Any attack with a material basis is ineffective against them; even a mentally materialized entity like a clone will only become nourishment for them to devour and grow stronger.

Therefore, only energy—or rather, a more concrete yet abstract force—can truly destroy them.

BIG's regeneration is not unconditional; in the original story, his rapid growth was due to swallowing most of an airplane as 'nutrients'. However, they cannot swallow non-material things, such as seawater.

In a flash, Yosuke Shima considered many 'magic' ideas, but without exception, the power these angry spirits could provide would surely wipe out everyone below the monster!

The elves were furious. The elves of this world hated these foreign destroyers, but they also hated humans!

They are the ones who made this world what it is today, and humanity should pay the heaviest price for its atrocities. The spirits won't intentionally harm them, but they would be more than happy to eliminate these humans with the help of Yosuke Shimada to save the world!

"No, I can't do that." Yosuke Shima firmly rejected the elves' pleas.

Saving the world is a must! But saving the people below is also very important!

This created an awkward dead end for him—his power came entirely from asking the spirits for help, and if he did, the spirits would inevitably amplify their influence infinitely, just like when the Zodiac Meteor was released. But if he didn't ask, Yosuke Shima was just an ordinary person.

"Uncle, don't forget the enhancement you redeemed!"

Just then, his nephew Jingwen's voice rang in his uncle's mind.

"—An enhancement through exchange?" Yosuke Shima paused for a moment, then hesitated.

"That's not a good idea. I don't like Square Enix games, and the appearance sprite also said that this kind of enhancement has..."

"This is no time to hesitate! Uncle, if we keep arguing like this, these things will start eating people!"

As Jingwen said, these BIG companies have already landed in Tokyo and are heading towards the city center.

Everything they encountered along the way, from skyscrapers to streets and cars, was swallowed up and became part of their growth. And to ordinary people, the inexplicable disappearance of their cities was even more terrifying.

The problem is that these creatures are also expanding their hunting range. They don't even need to reach the city center. As soon as a high-speed target appears in their hunting range, these creatures can 'teleport' out of thin air!

Imagine the destructive power of something weighing at least tens of thousands of tons 'teleporting' within the city!

Yosuke Shima finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and put his hand on his face.

The next moment, a glowing substance, like a mask, appeared on his face, which he then crushed.

Yosuke Shima released the seal on the Appearance Spirit, activating the enhancement that he had previously sealed away!

In an instant, Yosuke Shima's body swelled to more than twice its size, and his hoodie transformed into a long, brownish-gray robe that completely covered his body.

Even his face seems to have become much more handsome, turning him into a handsome uncle from the Final Fantasy series, leaving Shirogane completely stunned.

"Does this enhancement also come with a make-you-handsome feature?"

"I don't know, but Uncle's style has definitely been upgraded this time!"

Jingwen, standing beside him, chuckled and said, "It's clear that besides wanting to save the world, he also has a desire to see something he likes appear on screen."

Silver looked at his uncle in the sky with envy; he also wanted to exchange for this enhancement!

However, it was clear that this was not something he could afford. His uncle could afford it because he hadn't spent a single reward point from all his missions. In the end, it was Jingwen who recommended and persuaded him until he finally got him to exchange for that ridiculously expensive bloodline.

"Ugh, I don't feel well..."

Looking at his body, which had doubled in size, the uncle sniffed uncomfortably, and was even more unaccustomed to his now deep and hoarse voice.

Undoubtedly, he became stronger and more substantial, not only in terms of physique and health, but also in—

He sensed the 'energy' that permeated all things.

Those shimmering lights, emanating from all things in nature, are called 'ether'.

And those 'latent energies' born from the intense thoughts of life, which seemed dim in his perception.

He could sense these powers that normal people could not even comprehend, and he could even manipulate and control them as easily as directing his own arm.

Although he hated this feeling, his uncle still activated these powers. He began to focus on the ether, communicate with the spirits, and bring those violent powers into himself instead of letting them shape him!

Although reluctant, the elf still flowed into his uncle's body, and he activated this bloodline-related, almost instinctive skill.

'Creation Magic'

Ether reshaped his body, and under the gaze of countless people, a radiant figure was being created in the sky amidst their imagination.

"Transform!"

Chapter 101: 100. Divine Dragon Bahamut

'Ayterians bloodline, rated 96 points, applicable to most worlds. An ancient race from before the Great Sundering of Eorzea, a familiar of the world, possessing near-limitless aetheric manipulation abilities, able to freely control all unclaimed energy. Upon exchange, gain a boost to all attributes, with a massive boost to Intelligence and Spirit! Comes with the 'Creation Magic' skill. Exchange requires 18000 reward points and one A-rank side quest!'

Yes, as a passionate Baboon14 player, Jingwen redeemed this bloodline for his uncle!

The Ayterians' bloodline can, in a sense, be considered the bloodline of the 'protagonist'. After all, the protagonist of this online game, the Warrior of Light, can be said to be one-fourteenth an 'ancient person'.

This bloodline is neither strong nor weak. If we compare combat power vertically, the Ayterians bloodline is far inferior to the enhanced genes of ordinary Kryptonians of the same A-rank, or even the lowest-rank Saiyan bloodline. It is even inferior to the combat power of many double B-ranks or a very few B-rank enhanced individuals.

However, the reward points for exchanging bloodlines are higher than both of these.

This is because it is almost the most suitable bloodline for 'spellcaster' type professions, which is currently available through the exchange and enhancement system in the God's Space.

The ancients' ability to manipulate ether was a divinely bestowed innate talent, which allowed this bloodline to perfectly adapt to almost all ownerless external energies.

After the exchange, no matter what system you choose—become a mage, a warlock, a cultivator, or even a magnetic field madman—it's all possible!

For a perfect fit for energy, that's why this enhancement is worth so many reward points.

Even if you don't follow other systems, there's a lot to say about the ancient people's 'creation magic'.

Creating magic, as the name suggests, is using ether to construct reality with your thoughts, commonly known as making your wishes come true.

Of course, this is not a wish-granting machine. The standard for this ability is that the ancients first need to define all the characteristics of the object, such as its shape, structure, details, etc., and then inject ether to make it concrete. It can be said to be similar to the idea of ​​the moon being materialized.

However, the amount of ether that ancient people could summon was limited. If someone with a simple bloodline were to use creation magic to fight, it would be like using a high-end computer as a hammer to drive nails.

But this bloodline also has its own 'fighting' methods.

That is transformation

Ancient people could use ether to reshape an "imaginary posture" of their body from the outside, gaining power beyond the physical body. This transformation was essentially a creative reconstruction of one's own form, belonging to a personalized and controllable application of magic.

This magic was passed down through the official storyline of FF14 and later into the world. The creation magic, after being spread and 'modified' by the Shadows, is commonly known as—'Primal Summoning'.

In short, the setup and everything else have been explained.

Now it's Uncle's turn to perform.

After unleashing the ancient people's transformation magic, a massive amount of ether converged towards Uncle!

This wasn't exactly a foreign form of magic to him.

After all, he also entered the scene and used transformation magic to transform into other forms, while the ancient people's transformations were even less pronounced compared to his.

What do I want to become? My uncle pondered this question: powerful, possessing absolute power, capable of crushing these BIG beings!

He recalled the enemies he had once fought against, enemies he had created himself.

The Demon Flame Dragon is a monster born from the combination of divine power.

It may not be the strongest or most troublesome enemy that Uncle has ever faced, but its sheer destructive power has certainly left a deep impression on him!

Very good—then let it look like this!

The next moment, light converged, and countless ethereal spirits began to reshape his 'fantasy form' outside his body!

Although I felt a strange sense of shame, but—

bring it on!!!

A dazzling torrent of ether stirred up visible energy ripples around the uncle, and the originally blurry light began to materialize—the jagged bone horns were the first to pierce through the cocoon of light, the surface covered with dark golden dragon scales, and the edges of each scale were flowing with a lava-like crimson halo.

Enormous wings unfurled behind it, their membranous surfaces covered in star-like specks of light. With each flap, countless fragments of shattered magic arrays floated in the air. As the last ray of light dissipated, a colossal dragon, over a hundred meters long, hovered in mid-air.

Its head was covered with spiraling horns, and its amber vertical pupils pulsed with flames of destruction. With each rise and fall of its chest, it exhaled scorching breath, causing the surrounding air to distort and vaporize with every breath.

"Wow, my uncle is awesome! Whether it's Bahamut or Shenron... it doesn't matter, he's awesome!!!!"

Jingwen below cheered and pumped his fist excitedly. Regardless of whether it's called Bahamut or Shenron, it just looks like it!

To be honest, it actually looks more like a dragon...

"roar--!"

A deafening dragon's roar tore through the clouds. The writhing, colossal BIG below seemed to sense the pressure of their natural enemy. These monsters, made up of countless piles of flesh and blood, lay prostrate on the ground like mountains, twisting their bodies and frantically trying to fly towards the sky.

The dragon that Uncle had transformed into raised its forepaws, and blinding lightning gathered at the dark golden tips. Ancient incantations burst forth from the dragon's mouth, and the sky was instantly covered by purplish-black thunderclouds. Thousands of lightning bolts danced wildly like silver snakes, striking each and every BIG with pinpoint accuracy.

Those seemingly resilient flesh and blood bodies exploded like paper in the lightning, charred fragments mixed with black liquid flying everywhere, and the air was filled with the stench of burning protein. But this was only the beginning. With a flap of its wings, the dragon sent countless burning hellfires crashing down from the clouds, trailing long fiery tails as they slammed into the ground.

The colossal BIGs attempted to shield themselves with their bodies, but were completely vaporized the instant the meteorite struck. The foremost BIG, over a hundred meters tall, tried to catch the falling fireball, but it pierced through its body and began to burn!

Flames burst through BIG's body, leaving a smoldering hole, while attacks composed of countless elements were evenly incinerating BIG's body!

BIG cannot absorb elemental attacks, just as he can only catch the waves but can never grow bigger by relying on the seawater!

However, his uncle's attack did not cease. He inhaled sharply, his chest expanding like a drum, crimson flames gathering deep within his throat, forming a constantly rotating band of light. When the light's radiance rivaled that of the sun, he suddenly lowered his head, unleashing a breath that pierced the heavens and earth—

A million nuclear explosions? Or a cycle of death?

It didn't matter. Wherever this torrent of pure ether passed, the earth cracked, the rocks melted, and the still writhing BIG turned into burning ashes like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun. The light swept across the entire area, along with some Gastrea that had sneaked in, and even the sticky trails they left behind were burned to ashes!

Destruction, the power of utter destruction.

The surging ether granted Yosuke Shima the power to drive away the world's enemies!

This scene shocked everyone below.

Through the twisted flames, mortals stared in terror at the colossal beast in the sky. They didn't know what it had done, but its power and terror were undeniable.

So they were afraid, they cowered, and finally, they worshipped.

People instinctively worship what they fear; their initial faith stems from desire, but even more so from fear!

But what about those who reincarnate?
