Chapter 126

Outside the 'Monolith' that serves as the national border for human living areas, the areas where Gastrea run rampant without restraint all belong to the areas shown as 'unexplored' in international intelligence.

Only by airplane can one cross these areas. After all, the stronger the Gastrea, the more genes they fuse, the larger their bodies, and the more severe their mutations. Even if the birds that could originally fly grew eight legs, how could they maintain balance in the air?

Only some weak bird-type and insect-type Gastrea of Stage 1 still retain the ability to fly, or special species that have evolved long-range attack means, which are extremely rare, can they manage to shoot down an airplane by extreme coincidence.

Outside the Tokyo area, outside the No. 38 Monolith.

Above the 'unexplored' area.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"

Altitude 3,000 meters, speed 300 km/h.

On a special Varanium alloy military helicopter from Sima Heavy Industries.

"According to the 'Suoluomen's Ring' you mentioned that Russia is researching, a prototype has already been produced." Muroto Sumire, who was wearing her usual white coat, had even heavier dark circles under her eyes, looking extremely sleep-deprived, but her expression and tone revealed an unprecedented excitement and anticipation.

'Suoluomen's Ring', this thing has nothing to do with that doctor or any Magic King, nor is it any treasure. The name is just taken from the ring that appeared in the legend of King Suoluomen, which allows one to talk to animals after wearing it, but its true identity is a translator researched by the Russian government to communicate with Gastrea.

——Communicating with Gastrea, it sounds unbelievable. How could it be possible to communicate with these beasts that only exist for killing instincts?

But in reality, it can indeed be done.

In the original work, "Suoluomen's Ring" was used by the Russian side and successfully called the Libra-type 'Plague King', almost destroying the Sendai gathering place.

At this point in time, this thing originally didn't have a chance to appear. However, after Jagi directly launched his wisdom and proposed it to Yuki, and then took out the instantly generated plan and design drawings for Muroto Sumire to see, as a professional player, building a small communication machine was naturally a piece of cake.

"Are you really going to do it?"

Kisara, holding Xueying, asked with some worry.

Even at such a high place, she could smell the blood mixed in the air, as well as all kinds of pungent smells.

Faintly, she could hear the roars and hisses of those huge Gastrea coming from below, but there was also a strange dead silence shrouding her heart, heavy and making her unable to speak.

Below them was an endless dense forest of monsters, filled with all kinds of Gastrea. Now these creatures infected by the Gastrea virus had reached a new form of survival and formed a new food chain.

Without external force, even these fierce creatures would be in a fairly stable state, but this state was estimated to be broken soon.

"Of course I'm going to do it." With his arms crossed and a special ring on his finger, the man suddenly opened his eyes, walked to the door of the helicopter, and looked down at the terrifying forest below that seemed to be able to swallow all life.

"Let's do it here."

When they heard Jagi's words that day, everyone had only one reaction—

"Are you crazy?"

Except for Yanzhu, everyone else showed an expression of disbelief, even Seitenshi, who had always been obedient.

Summoning all Stage Five Gastrea?

That's equivalent to suicide.

Through normal phagocytic evolution, Stage 1 Gastrea can become Stage 4 at most, possessing a huge body of tens or hundreds of meters, and can cause major disasters at every turn.

But above these Stage 4s, there exists a fifth level that cannot be reached by normal evolution. The gap between them is much larger than that between a Level 5 and a Level 4 in a certain Academy City.

That is the ultimate Gastrea monster. No one knows why they appeared. They are the greatest enemy of humanity.

They are huge and exceptionally powerful, not interfered with by the magnetic field emitted by Varanium metal, and even possess a certain degree of wisdom and thinking ability. It was precisely because these Stage Five monsters attacked in large numbers that they finally defeated humanity in that Gastrea War, causing humanity to lose 80% of its territory.

A total of 11 Stage Fives have been discovered in the world, and they are named after the twelve zodiac signs, with Cancer missing.

And the strongest Stage Five is the Taurus, which once led a terrifying army to attack humanity in the Gastrea War, and was later defeated by the world's most mysterious strongest initiator, the girl ranked 1st in IP.

Virgo was defeated by the initiator ranked 2nd in IP from Germany.

Besides that, in the full ten years that humanity has been struggling to survive and recovering its vitality, not a single other one has been defeated. They could only let these Stage Five zodiac signs run rampant on the earth like natural disasters, helpless.

But these zodiac signs didn't appear out of thin air, everything has traces to follow.

According to the hints in the anime, the 【Seven Stars Legacy】 that could summon Scorpio is actually just a severely damaged children's bicycle. Jagi can easily infer certain facts—even these monsters that swallow the sky and earth were humans at the beginning.

Meteorites falling from the sky carried special viruses that could rewrite biological DNA. The huge value hidden behind them naturally caused ambition to breed.

11 little girls became experimental subjects, used to experiment with the fusion of human and animal genes. The results failed or went out of control, the virus spread, and these 11 people became Gastrea of the Zodiac level. The researchers hid the truth, but these initial experimenters retained certain memories and reluctance as humans, so a broken bicycle could become a summoning object for Scorpio.

Humanity falling to this point can be said to be entirely caused by their own ambition.

Even after seeing Jagi's various inhuman performances, a considerable number of people still felt it was difficult to understand his idea of actively summoning "Stage Five" zodiac signs.

You know, even just one of them has destroyed more than one human gathering place, and it is simply impossible to fight against them with ordinary methods and force.

No one knows what he wants to do, but now no one in Tokyo can defy his will, and they can only let his actions be.

Is what awaits them heaven?

Or will it be hell?

"I have an idea I want to put into practice. If it succeeds, it counts as an unexpected gain, and if it fails, it doesn't matter... The worst result is just Japan sinking."

Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped down from thousands of meters in the air.

Under the acceleration of gravity, the intense airflow and gale rubbed against the skin all over his body, seemingly wanting to tear him apart. A slight pain made Jagi widen his eyes, which instead awakened the power sleeping in this body of his.

A terrifying aura erupted suddenly.

At the same time, "Suoluomen's Ring" was activated—

"I am here!!!"
