Gu Changqing was truly excited by this tier-eight mutant beast that appeared out of nowhere. The higher the grade of the crystal core, the purer the energy it contained. No matter how many low-grade crystal cores there were, they could not compare to high-grade ones.
"Mr, Gu, are… are you sure you can kill it?" Athena asked worriedly, "Why don't we give up on the supplies and evacuate the city?"
A tier-eight mutant beast was too terrifying, after all. Even the nuclear fusion net would not be able to withstand its repeated attacks. It was in the realm of a beast king. It could easily destroy a city on its own.
"That's right, Mr. Gu. We can retreat. There's no need to take the risk. Almost everyone in the city now is a Divine Runemaster. In addition, I highly suspect the reason the sea beasts in the Atlantic Ocean are evolving so quickly is related to the portal in the depths of the Bermuda Triangle," James Kohler said, expressing his thoughts of retreating and his suspicion.
"All of you, retreat. I want to fight it. This monster might not be from Earth."
Gu Changqing had no intention of retreating. A buzz rang in the air as he equipped the armor of the Asura divine rune, the Black Dragon divine rune, the King of Hell divine rune, and the Qilin divine rune. Then, he walked toward the cabin door.
Based on his knowledge, before that meteorite fell, the highest tier of mutant beast was only at the peak of the seventh tier. He suspected that his rebirth had changed from the trajectory of his previous life.
Swoosh!
The wind swept in violently when Gu Changqing opened the door. A terrifying energy surged out from his body as he forced the wind out and flew out at high speed.
"Please be careful!" Athena shouted before she hurriedly shut the door. As a fifth-rank Divine Runemaster, she could naturally withstand the powerful suction force.
…
Swoosh!
Gu Changqing hovered above the clouds and stared at the enchanting blood moon. In just a moment, he streaked across the night sky like a four-colored lightning bolt at more than fifteen times the speed of sound. In just a blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace.
The Infernal Dragon Qilin Asura Armor was not very different from the Infernal Dragon Asura Armor. The difference was that there was a Five Element Qilin Wheel on his chest that flashed with five different colors, which corresponded to the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Apart from that, the black dragon helmet now also had patterns of the Qilin. In short, it looked cold and domineering, like something that came out of a science fiction movie.
At fifteen times the speed of sound, Gu Changqing would reach his destination in about 20 minutes. He was determined to obtain the grade-seven and grade-eight crystal cores. He was desperate to raise his strength, but most importantly, the grade-eight crystal core could be used to heal Vermillion Bird.
He needed to grow stronger as quickly as possible because in three months, the meteorite would fall into the Pacific Ocean. At that time, the sea beasts would all come on land. He needed strength to deal with them.
…
A coastal city in M Country.
Roar!
An earth-shaking roar resounded.
All the sea beasts on the beach were so frightened that they prostrated on the ground, trembling and too afraid to move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Godzilla-like monster, which was more than 800 meters tall, stepped on the shore. The ground shook with every step it took. It left huge footprints behind as it walked on two feet to the coastal city.
It had a row of sharp bone spikes on its back, and its body was covered with hexagonal black scales. Its tail alone was 300 to 400 meters in length, and it was terrifyingly thick. Its chest and arms were thicker than those of Godzilla. Its head was relatively small, and its mouth was filled with rows and rows of fangs. Its blue eyes shone with intelligence.
In front of it, the black turtle had already shrunk its head into its shell.
…
Meanwhile, the Divine Runemasters in the city looked at the monster that was more than 800 meters in height. They were all frightened out of their wits and fled the city at top speed.
"Heavens, what is that?!"
"F*ck, there's such a monster in the ocean?!"
"Tier-eight? How did it evolve so quickly?"
"Who can stop it? It's not hard for it to destroy our cities, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense and run!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the top of the building where James Kohler was standing, over ten powerful Divine Runemasters flew over.
A Divine Runemaster with the Jersey Devil Armor asked, frightened, "President, what is that?"
"This damn thing!" James Kohler cursed with a dark expression on his face before he said, "I'm afraid it's just as Mr. Gu said. It's a monster that came from the portal in the depths of the Bermuda Triangle."
Indeed, their speculation was right. This monster did not come from Earth.
A Divine Runemaster clad in a bat and lion armor said fearfully, "President, let's retreat!"
Unsurprisingly, those who saw the behemoth outside would be frightened and lose their will to fight. Although they were quite a distance away, they could still feel the pressure from it.
James Kohler shook his head. "Let's wait a little longer. Mr. Gu is on his way. He'll be here in a moment. Let's keep an eye on the monster for now."
A Divine Runemaster equipped with tiger-leopard armor asked skeptically, "Can he defeat this monster?"
Roar!
As soon as he finished speaking, another earth-shattering roar rang from outside the city in the distance.
Everyone looked up, and their expressions changed drastically. Without a word, they turned and flew back.
…
Outside the city.
The more-than-800-meter-tall monster suddenly opened its huge and bloody mouth. The spikes on its back flickered with a blue light as it gathered energy in its mouth with all its might.
A few seconds later, a thunderous explosion tore through the air, shaking the sea monsters crawling under the monster's feet.
Boom!
An unimaginably huge energy beam shot out of the monster's mouth and easily destroyed the nuclear fusion net protecting the city before it continued to shoot into the depths of the city. The buildings were reduced to rubble and the ground split in its wake.
The blue light it emitted was so blinding that it was difficult for people to stare at it directly.
Shortly after, the destructive energy landed in the heart of the city. Another explosion resounded, and a mushroom cloud that covered dozens of miles rose up. Just like that, the terrifying energy destroyed more than half of the city.
"What a terrifying monster!"
James Kohler and the others, who escaped from the range of the monster's attack, looked at the violent scene with horrified expressions on their faces.
Rumble!
The sound of a small explosion rang from the back at this moment.
Swoosh!
Gu Changqing flew over and appeared in front of James Kohler and the others. His armor shone brightly and emitted a violent aura. The two dragons at his back stared at the huge explosion in the distance.
Gu Changqing brought his blood spear out and said lightly, "It seems like I arrived just a step too late."
