Chapter 258

A short, sharp scream collapsed onto the ground.

The man in the white coat pulled out a thick syringe and wiped away his sweat: "What time do you think it is to be causing trouble? If your father wasn't a federal official, I would have thrown you to the monsters long ago."

Once the people had walked far away.

The middle-aged man beside Hoshino Ai sighed.

"The city has been rescued, it's too miserable. It's said that the city has already become a living hell, with over two hundred thousand people in that area.

He was the only one who managed to run out.

I heard he went insane from fear after seeing his friends skewered on a clothesline and roasted to be eaten."

These words.

Made the scalps of those around tingle.

Even if it was just the tip of the iceberg, it was hard to imagine what kind of hellish state the city had become.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have come to Neon to look for some magic inheritance."

A red-haired youth's face turned pale.

Ever since the sky screen appeared, people from all over the world have been pouring into Neon, all for the sake of awakening magic power.

Hoshino Ai clenched her fists.

That's right.

Magic power.

She had awakened magic power; if she had been there, perhaps she could have protected Hanaka.

"The army has entered the city, the Federation has arrived."

Someone exclaimed.

They saw it on the distant horizon.

Amidst the rolling dust, main battle tanks weighing dozens of tons each revealed their forms among the buildings.

Dense, fortress-like steel tanks and heavy combat vehicles were advancing toward the city.

The sky.

Dense swarms of small dots were approaching at high speed; those were F-22s and bombers closing in.

With a roar of artillery that shook the area for miles, the war began.

Humanity's tools of war and slaughter officially bared their fangs.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The sound of artillery, as if tearing the sky apart, came from far away.

Ten thousand cannons fired in unison.

Bomber after bomber dropped cruise missiles, cluster bombs, armor-piercing warheads, and more.

They were all, damn it, the most powerful, largest-caliber heavy explosives.

Tactical and strategic missiles weighing tons, even tens of tons, carpet-bombed the area.

Even the refugee camp here in Saitama Prefecture could feel the ground trembling.

For the first time, humanity's weapons of war unleashed their hideous, bloodthirsty maws in front of the alien beings, tearing apart every monster that dared to stand in their way.

It was just for an instant.

Half of the city's sky was almost covered by magnificent, epic mushroom clouds and flames; any location where a monster hid was plowed over and over again by artillery and bombs.

We won, right?

Seeing humanity's true cutting-edge weapons roar for the first time.

Hoshino Ai, and everyone else, thought so.

At this moment.

At this instant.

The eyes of the whole world were focused on this scene.

Ever since Tokyo fell, the entire world had been in an uproar.

Tokyo, after all.

A super-metropolis with a GDP of over a trillion dollars, one of humanity's main arteries, was just conquered by alien beings like that?

It was simply unbelievable.

It was the first time they had seen such an absurd calamity actually happen in reality.

Just as they were cheering for humanity's great power.

Reality seemed to slap them hard in the face, leaving everyone stunned.

What did they see?

That giant whale cruising in the sky, covered in eyes, was completely fine—no, it seemed to have passed gas.

That massive triangular cone covered in dense arms was even more absurd; just after being blown up, it turned into a patch of dark red flesh-like fungal mat.

The next moment.

It grew out from the fungal mat again.

But that wasn't the end.

The giant whale, covered in eyeballs and clearly the big boss, let out a long cry.

The dense eyeballs all over its body fired rays that covered everything, slicing buildings clean in half.

The explosions of fighter jets and bombers formed a single line; almost in an instant, humanity's aerial firepower and some of the monsters were wiped out together.

If nothing else, the life force of the Evil God's kin was top-notch, and they recovered very quickly.

It wasn't the end.

In the vortex in the sky, three more magnificent bodies descended.

Giant whales, also covered in eyeballs, but even larger and more hideous.

Oh, damn it.

We're doomed.

Countless people around the world wailed.

The Great Hollow.

The multi-ton Vulcan cannons roared, and the ten thousand rounds of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells fired per minute were like a sharp sword.

Just a flash, and it swept through and severed a building.

But...

"Weak! Weak! Weak!!!"

The hideous monster danced its six arms wildly with a great sword, easily knocking away every armor-piercing shell fired at it.

The sword wind tore the earth, and its body turned into a phantom as it passed by.

In front.

The three ultimate tyrants carrying full three-ton Vulcan cannons were directly smashed into blood mist.

Licking a trace of blood and spitting it out in disgust, the monster looked at the remaining superhumans from various countries.

"What else? Let me taste..."

Suddenly.

It looked back blankly, toward the front of the Jin Jin Zita.

A brilliant aurora rose slowly, layers of halos rippling out, illuminating the entire wide Great Hollow like broad daylight.

"That is..."

Its voice changed, becoming dry: "... oble... Noble Phantasm————??"

Even it felt both longing and fear.

The power of the Heroic Spirits depicted by the sky screen had long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

And what people talked about most regarding Heroic Spirits were their Noble Phantasms, which were like the embodiment of laws and even possessed a certain degree of absoluteness.

Under the magnificent Jin Jin Zita.

"Durandal!!!"

The boy favored by the Holy King roared.

The gorgeous cross-sword swung down, and an extremely brilliant torrent of light erupted, purifying everything and annihilating everything.

Kokushibo, whose aura had increased countless times and who was terrifying enough to crush his past self with a single finger, held his long sword and looked at the dazzling light with longing.
