Chapter 866

The image shows the Angel of Thunder, making skyscrapers look like mere blades of grass.

467. Future Simulation, the Demon God Beast Manifests!!!

Even if one were to repeatedly raise their expectations for the young man before them, he was like a deep, unfathomable pool—one could never see the bottom.

The water was so deep it seemed capable of drowning an Outer God...

Above a shimmering, fluorescent expanse of water.

"Then, let us begin."

In everyone's gaze, the young man merely flicked his slender, fair hand and tapped lightly.

The next moment.

Time began to flow.

No.

It was this shimmering silver expanse of water that flowed.

Carrying an ancient and vicissitudinous air, the vastness of the world, and an ancient will that had never changed, it surged downward.

Instantly.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Everyone felt their brains explode.

They "saw" the unfolding of heaven and earth; countless complex, massive, and unbelievable pieces of information, images, languages, and movements seemed to come alive, crazily squeezing into their brains, their consciousness, and their very being.

What was beneath their feet was not a "river," nor a marsh, but...

This world!!

Or rather, the origin of this world.

This was a level their current life stage could not reach, so they were forcibly exposed to a perspective they were not yet capable of accepting.

Unbelievable pain assaulted every one of their nerves; they closed their eyes in agony, blood tears streaming down their faces, yet they still could not stop the influx of that terrifying information, or rather, the concept of the world's essence.

Bang, bang, bang...

Someone with a ruthless expression bent their fingers, gouged out their own eyeballs, and threw them underfoot to be crushed like lightbulbs.

But it was meaningless.

Even with their eyes gouged out and crushed into pulp, the scene before them did not turn pitch black; it remained shimmering.

One could see that the waves of the silver long river were, in fact, individual eras—wrinkles formed by warped, predetermined fates.

Symbolizing key nodes.

Suddenly.

A wave behind the silver long river shifted direction, separating directly from the main trunk and surging toward the other side.

The long river branched, forming a tributary.

Vaguely visible, the azure planet seemed to spread out, condensing at the tip of the wave, and in the next moment, it seemed to expand infinitely, even causing them to fall into it.

In a trance.

They entered another world line; this was a Tokyo where the Second Impact did not occur.

The city was bustling; men and women on the streets wore earrings, and female office workers wore suits with shoulder pads that accentuated their presence.

The record store next door played "I Am a Blue Bird," a song from Miyuki Nakajima's chaotic period.

But before they could listen closely, merely subconsciously picking up the cassette tape, the next instant, this timeline branched again.

They appeared in Paris, with the famous Eiffel Tower before them.

Immediately after, on Broadway, at the Golden Gate Bridge, at St. Paul's Cathedral, at the Great Wall... at the Roman Colosseum.

They saw Antarctica, where humans stood before a magnificent, sacred life form, injecting biological tissue into this sleeping god for research and experimentation.

They saw a massive light rise from Antarctica; the god's wrath tore the world apart, triggering a global fusion that killed at least 3.4 billion people.

They saw how, under the lobbying and promotion of certain people, SEELE's executive agency, GEHIRN (Artificial Evolution Laboratory), was reorganized into NERV, with various countries cooperating to build the ultimate human decisive battle weapon, the Eva, to face the potential threat of the Apostles.

Until fifteen years later, when the god's messenger awakened from slumber, attempting to return to the origin, and attacked the city.

But before anything happened, everyone in that world looked up into the massive, intense light.

They saw the sun falling.

A brilliant sun, radiant and glorious, extreme and beautiful, emitting immeasurable light and heat, scorching heaven and earth.

Like a reawakened god, powerful, vast, and ruthless, it seemed like a natural phenomenon, unmoved by human will.

Before it even truly descended, everything on the earth had already evaporated.

The bewildered crowd found their vision go black; this tributary collapsed directly and came to an abrupt end.

"That is..."

They seemed to see a vague outline in the center of the burning sun.

Like a red, two-headed monster bird standing upright, like a god within the sun.

"... Demon God Beast?"

A terrifying conjecture trembled in everyone's hearts, but they desperately tried to deny it.

What kind of joke is this?

If that is a Demon God Beast, what is the point of them fighting? Is this thing something humans can defeat?

It is not even in the same dimension as Magical Girls.

Before it even descended, the entire Japanese archipelago was evaporated; if it truly released its power, wouldn't its mere existence be enough to incinerate the world and bring about the end?

It is simply more god-like than the gods they imagined.

If this thing is a Demon God Beast, they might as well pack up and go home, waiting peacefully for the world to end.

But during this time, among the knowledge that Instructor Wang Zhi taught them while beating them up.

Clearly, the Demon God in the sun was shockingly similar to the Fire Demon God Beast Pandon they knew; the Demon God Pandon was covered in crimson scales and grew two bird heads.

Because the divine power it naturally radiated was too powerful and scorching, one could not see its true form at all, only a blazing sun...

Alright.

That is definitely the Demon God Beast Pandon!

Everyone desperately admitted one point.

That is to say, merely by descending, the power naturally radiated by the Demon God Beast Pandon evaporated the entire Japanese archipelago, and in just a short time, caused the collapse of a world line.

Although they did not know how strong the Servant mentioned by that person was, or if they could fight such a terrifying Demon God.

But even if they could, they would need to defeat at least one before they could obtain a Class Card with the power of a Servant.

Is this possible?

There was no time to think carefully.

With a flash before their eyes, they arrived at another world line.

Directly before them was a god, a god covered in cold, hard black iron, with sharp horns piercing the sky, as if a mountain of steel cast by gods sat upon the earth.

One by one, either brilliantly red, gorgeously blue, or heavily yellow... seven Magical Girls unleashed brilliant magic cannons that illuminated the eastern land.

Then, sweeping past lakes, wilderness, and high mountains, they came to assassinate the God of Steel from all directions.

But...

It was meaningless.

The massive Demon God looked down at them indifferently, opened its palm, and the magic cannons filling the sky flowed into it as if ten thousand rivers returning to the sea.

Then, with a gentle squeeze, it crushed them as if crushing bubbles.

Powerful.

Arrogant.

Everyone recognized it at a glance.

This is the extremely formidable Earth Demon God Beast among the six great Demon God Beasts—【Magatano-Orga】, legend says it even has the power to shatter the world.

Just at the moment the information mentioned by Leomon surfaced in their minds.

The massive Demon God, having crushed the seven Magical Girls' flashes with one hand, suddenly looked up and opened its mouth toward the direction of the several Magical Girls.

Hum~~!

Space wrinkled, forming ripples visible to the naked eye.

Everything in front, all matter and energy, all existence, suddenly dispersed, was torn apart, and pulverized.

Gray dust flew up, rolling back like a tidal wave.

Whether it was high mountains or plains, lakes or cities, Evas or Apostles hiding in some place, before such a fluctuation, there was not the slightest difference.
