With his mind, which even supercomputers can hardly match, it was an easy task.

In the past, Accelerator used his abilities to cover the entire city and detect unusual situations inside.

This time it's the same.

It's like casting a large net across the entire lake; any unusual activity will be detected through a part of the net and relayed to the fisherman.

What he did was something on the same level as this kind of thing.

Just feel where the energy direction is most chaotic.

"—Found it."

In an area approximately several hundred meters below, an energy that defies normal physical laws is slowly surging.

"what?"

But what is it?

Something is wrong.

Accelerator was slightly taken aback. In his perception, the flow of energy was gradually rising.

--No.

It should be said that the strange energy that was originally hidden deep in the seabed is now moving towards the surface at an extreme speed.

"what?"

Boom boom boom boom——!!

By the time he realized this, the sea had already exploded.

Huge waves crashed in instantly, overwhelming everything.

The ship, struck by the waves, was instantly swept far away, splashing water everywhere, but Accelerator remained completely dry.

Having dodged the impact of the wave by using his reflexes, he turned his head and looked straight ahead.

Something shot out from the seabed.

The once bright and sunny midday sun was suddenly swallowed up by something enormous, as if it were covering the sky.

That was some kind of creature.

A gigantic purple monster, large enough to devour an entire city.

roar------!!!!

Even a roar deeply shook the entire sea.

The surrounding waves surged up instantly, crashing against Nathos beneath Accelerator, but he remained unmoved.

A profound sense of unease arose from the depths of my heart.

That was a system notification, and the target of the notification was the monster in front of them.

"Has it finally appeared?"

Looking at the thing in front of him that seemed to cover even the sky, Accelerator couldn't help but think of certain other things.

The Star of Bethlehem.

In his original world, a massive floating fortress emerged during the Third World War. The fortress was over forty kilometers long, and even angels from the Bible, capable of destroying the world, appeared from it.

The scene right now is almost identical to that of back then.

That enormous monster was enough to remind Accelerator of the floating fortress from back then.

However, now is not the time to think about such useless things.

boom--! ! !

The purple monster floating in the sky suddenly flew off in a certain direction.

"...Wait a moment."

He suddenly thought of something.

That direction should be towards a city, somewhere in an eastern country.

Moreover, it's not far from here.

Imagine what would happen if such a gigantic monster were allowed to travel directly to an entire city...

Even without explaining the answer, Accelerator himself could guess it.

"That thing, is it planning to devour the entire city like a snack...?"

Hello.

If that were the case, what would happen to the entire city?

So, they just became that monster's meal?

"What a joke."

I guess I've found what I should be doing right now.

The sense of unease with the system grew stronger in his heart. It seemed that the core of this mission was to work on that giant monster.

Of course, even without the system's prompt, he would still take action now.

If such a thing were to be sent to the city, it would surely bring unimaginable disaster to hundreds or thousands of people.

That would result in unprecedented casualty statistics.

Humph.

Accelerator let out a soft, cold laugh.

He is no longer fixated on simple good and evil.

For him, protecting the people around him was enough; there was no need to worry about those who had nothing to do with him.

The lives and deaths of the people in those cities had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Therefore, his approach is quite clear.

"Consider it a freebie, time to start working overtime."

Transformation serves as the actual driving force.

That was the first time in Academy City that the power assist electrode on his neck changed from green to red.

"Working overtime for free, you bastard."

The monster's binding collar is now unlocked.

The number one in Academy City, with unprecedented speed and power, instantly ascended into the air like a rocket.

—That was a monster named Chi You that Ji Lin had sealed away with great difficulty in the past.

And at this very moment, right in front of it.

Another white monster has arrived.

Chapter 260 Methods to Subdue Chi You

"Woo..."

In a world that is like another dimension.

No, actually this area isn't that complicated.

But looking at it directly, this place really does seem like some other dimension.

In the distance, rocks that seemed to float aimlessly were piled up in mid-air, completely disregarding the laws of physics, as if some unseen force was forcibly supporting them.

There is no sky or ground here. Looking down along the surrounding rocks, all you see is an endless void, a radiance that seems capable of swallowing everything. Looking up, all you can see is pure purplish-black.

Fortunately, this area still has internal boundaries.

"So... you're inside that guy's stomach right now?"

Those were four Valkyries sent by St. Freya Academy, belonging to the Far East Branch of Destiny.

Several girls clung tightly to this skin-like boundary area, seemingly communicating with someone.

"Really? The legendary Chi You actually exists, and you're even inside his body?!"

"It's true, Theresa! Right now, the most urgent thing is that this guy is in really big trouble!"

The girl with long white hair, dressed in the same white Valkyrie armor, couldn't help but complain.

"Big trouble...what does that mean?"

"Headmistress Theresa, according to Bronya's analysis, the behemoth Chiyou is currently moving at high speed."

That was Bronya, who had previously appeared near Changkong City during the Third Honkai Impact.

Supported by the power of the mecha called Heavy Bunny 19C, she contacted Theresa, who was far away, through the same communication device.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should arrive at the Divine Continent in about three hours."

"Arrived in Shenzhou? Wait, I remember a legend saying that the hero Ji Lin of Shenzhou sealed Chi You because that guy planned to devour all the continents..."

"If Chi You really does arrive in the city as the legends say, he will cause massive destruction... and might even swallow up the entire land of China."

Although it is unknown whether this monster is really Chi You, based on the specific circumstances, it is indeed so.

In the distant past, Ji Lin, an ancient hero of the Divine Continent, successfully sealed Chi You with the power of the golden sword, Xuanyuan Sword, in order to stop it from devouring the continents of various regions.

If this is indeed the case, when Chi You arrives at the Divine Continent, it will completely devour it step by step.

Just like a virus that gradually devours cells, eventually, all the continents will be completely swallowed up by Chi You.

"We can't just focus on our own escape. If it gets onto the mainland, we're doomed!"

“I understand, but… according to the information Bronya sent, Chi You’s body is simply too enormous.”

You can hear Theresa's voice on the other end sounding anxious.

"Even relying on the Hyperion's main guns would be difficult to counter. The main guns can only fire twice in a short period of time, and with such a huge body, only the main guns can inflict effective damage!"

“…It’s okay.”

After settling all the data, Bronya's tone became more confident and at ease.

"Bronya detected through the system that there are two places where Honkai energy is highly concentrated inside the giant beast Chiyou."

"Honkai energy is extremely concentrated?"

"So, that's its heart?"

"Wow! It actually has two hearts? No wonder it's a Honkai Beast that can devour even continents!"

"You mean I have to use the Hyperion's main cannon to kill it? No way, the electromagnetic interference inside Chi You is too severe; I simply can't detect what's going on inside..."

"It's alright. Bronya can use the Heavy Bunny to attack from a relative location, causing its skin to vibrate. This way, Principal Theresa will be able to find out where its heart is."

"But... wouldn't that mean you'd also be at risk of being hit by the main gun...?"

"Oh dear, Theresa, what are you saying! We are Valkyries! Valkyries wouldn't abandon their mission for personal safety, would they?"

The white-haired girl stepped forward with a light laugh, her expression brimming with a sense of justice.

"If that giant beast Chiyou were to escape to the mainland, that would be a real crisis. In such a critical situation, the lives of innocent people should be the first priority!"

"That's true... Sigh, this is the only way. You all must be careful, Kiana."

"Yes, yes! Don't worry about it!"

Kiana Kaslana.

For this girl, that was her own name, and she was also one of the Valkyries of St. Freya Academy.

This time, following the mission, they went to a cave in the deep sea in an attempt to find Ji Lin's sacred mark and the Xuanyuan Sword that had been lost for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, they actually awakened the legendary sealed beast Chi You.

"Everyone, don't worry, the Hyperion is approaching you at top speed. In the few minutes we're talking, it will arrive directly!"

"That's great! Let's defeat this giant as soon as possible and go home!"

Kiana, who is always optimistic, immediately burst into laughter.

"Hey...you should at least be a little more vigilant, Kiana."

Standing beside her, the girl named Raiden Mei couldn't help but sigh.
