Chapter 25: Confronting the Kaiju

The driver got out of the car angrily and strode toward Uchiha Fugaku. He rolled up his sleeves, his face dark.

"Kid, do you know you almost made me crash?" The driver approached Fugaku, one hand already clenched into a fist.

Just as the driver came before Fugaku, a huge boom suddenly came from the distance. Then the whole earth began to shake violently, as if it would explode from within.

A piercing alarm suddenly blared through the whole city, echoing among the buildings. The driver stood frozen in place, his fist still raised in midair, looking around blankly.

The pedestrians around all stopped in their tracks, looking fearfully toward the direction of the sound. Only to see at the end of the Haibin City Wall, a huge monster's skull suddenly appeared.

"Kaiju!!!" A terrified scream erupted from the crowd.

The next second, the giant beast lunged at the wall. Only heard "Boom—" a huge sound, the wall collapsed in response, countless rocks flew in all directions. Rolling smoke and dust covered half the sky.

When the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, a huge figure slowly appeared from the gap, and people finally saw the true face of the Kaiju.

It was like a mutated Tyrannosaurus Rex, its surface covered with a hard exoskeleton, shining with an obsidian-like luster.

A pair of sharp fangs protruded from its upper and lower jaws, like two curved blades, flashing a terrifying cold light.

"Run!!!"

Screams rose and fell in the crowd, panic spreading in an instant. People threw down what they held and ran wildly toward the distance without regard for anything.

Someone raised a phone with trembling hands, wanting to capture this unbelievable scene, but their hands shook so much they couldn't focus at all.

The driver fell onto the hard asphalt road, eyes wide, mouth agape, completely stunned by the Kaiju before him.

His trembling hands propped on his sides, he desperately tried to retreat, but found his legs as if nailed to the ground, too heavy to move an inch.

"This, this isn't real, right? I must be dreaming." The driver muttered to himself, his voice full of despair. His earlier anger toward Uchiha Fugaku had long vanished; now only endless fear remained in his mind.

At this moment, a huge rock fell from the wall, smashing toward the driver.

The driver looked up, seeing the cement block the size of a small car rapidly approaching him, his pupils suddenly contracting.

"Save me!" The driver widened his eyes and let out a shrill scream. He subconsciously closed his eyes, covering his head with both hands.

But the expected pain did not come. The driver timidly opened his eyes, only to see a black figure appear before him, smashing a fist at the rock in midair.

"Boom!" The giant rock instantly turned to powder under the fist wind, shattered stones scattering, landing on the ground with a crisp sound.

The driver stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, his mind blank.

He slowly stood up, his legs weak, almost unable to support his weight.

He looked up at the mysterious person who saved him, his lips trembling, unable to say a complete sentence.

"Heh..." Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, muttering: "It seems I really am dreaming." Saying this, the driver laughed maniacally, slapping his face crazily with both hands, but no matter how hard he tried, everything around him remained so real.

"Right, I've gone crazy, I must have gone crazy." The driver muttered, suddenly turned and ran toward the distance, shouting hysterically while running: "Superman! Mom, I saw Superman! I've gone crazy, hahaha."

But Uchiha Fugaku had no time to care about the driver's crazy actions. He stared fixedly at the giant beast at the seaside gap, his face solemn, the Three Tomoe in his Sharingan slowly spinning.

"Roar!!!" Only to see the Kaiju let out a sky-shaking roar, echoing over the whole city.

Its huge body stepped out of the gap, charging destructively toward the city center.

"Boom boom boom!" Accompanied by thunder-like booms, one high-rise building after another collapsed under the Kaiju's impact, turning into ruins.

As the Kaiju approached, Fugaku felt an unprecedented oppressive feeling hit him, as if a moving mountain of flesh was crashing into him.

"This monster is even bigger than a Tailed Beast." Fugaku muttered, his voice a little tight.

He had once witnessed the true form of the Three-Tails, which was already a huge monster. But compared to the Kaiju before him, the Three-Tails was probably only the size of one of its legs.

Moreover, although the opponent was so huge, its speed was not slow at all, but unusually swift. At this moment, a line of small text suddenly lit up in the corner of his vision, attracting his attention.

【Main Quest One: Intercept the Kaiju "Virus"】

【Mission Reward: 500 Points】

"Me? Fight this monster?" Uchiha Fugaku couldn't believe his eyes, looking at the scene behind him where the huge Kaiju kicked down a house with one foot.

But looking at the main quest entry above, Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth: "I'll give it my all!"

Uchiha Fugaku turned into a black Body Flicker, sprinting toward the "Virus" at a speed hard for the naked eye to catch.

At the same time, his hands flew through hand seals in front of his chest, each gesture so fast it dazzled the eyes.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Accompanied by Fugaku's low shout, two huge fire dragons spurted from his mouth, roaring as they charged at the "Virus," the fire dragons' bodies constantly twisting and swelling, as if to devour everything.

In an instant, the fire dragons reached the "Virus," opening their mouths to slam hard against its hard exoskeleton.

Boom!!

In the instant the fire dragons collided with the "Virus," a sky-shaking boom suddenly exploded. Dazzling firelight swallowed the "Virus"'s huge body, scorching air waves surged outward in all directions, trees by the road instantly turned to ash.

However, when the smoke and dust gradually dispersed, only to see the "Virus" still standing in place, completely unharmed from head to toe! "Impossible!" Fugaku gritted his teeth, his face terribly gloomy.

Although he hadn't expected to have any effect on this Kaiju, he didn't expect that his all-out attack couldn't even injure a single hair of the opponent! The Virus was attracted by Uchiha Fugaku's attack, suddenly letting out a sky-shaking roar, the sound waves kicking up hurricanes, rolling up sand and stones on the ground and scattering them everywhere.

It suddenly swung its tail, a tail like a train carrying destructive power striking toward Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku reacted extremely quickly, kicking off the ground with both legs, using chakra enhancement to instantly rise dozens of meters, barely dodging this fatal blow.

The tail heavily smashed the ground where he had stood, instantly smashing a huge pit in the hard cement road surface.

Uchiha Fugaku quickly formed hand seals in midair, his eyes tightly staring at the Virus: "Try this."

He shouted loudly: "Fire Release: Fire Phoenix Technique!"

Whoosh! Countless fist-sized fireballs spurted from Fugaku's mouth, dense and numerous, like a swarm of fire bees, howling toward the joints where the Virus's armor was relatively weak.

Boom boom boom! Fireballs exploded one after another on the Virus, emitting a series of thunder-like booms. Rolling thick smoke enveloped the Virus's huge body, obscuring its figure.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the thick smoke, piercing the eardrums.

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes narrowed, a hint of a smile crossing the corner of his mouth.

"It worked!"

Although this Kaiju's whole body was almost comparable to fine steel, just like any creature, it must have a weakness. The joints had thinner armor and bore its huge body, undoubtedly the easiest place to break through.

"Looks like, after a few more hits, maybe it could..."

Boom!!! Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted Fugaku's thoughts. Immediately afterward, the Virus suddenly burst out from the rolling smoke, moving at an astonishing speed, and instantly closed in on Uchiha Fugaku!

"What?!"

Uchiha Fugaku's pupils suddenly contracted, and he sucked in a sharp breath. He never expected that after being injured, the opponent would not retreat but instead become even more ferocious! Hum—

A powerful wind pressure surged toward him, and Fugaku felt his breath freeze in an instant.

Subconsciously Look Up, he saw the Virus's body, over a hundred meters tall, had already descended above him, blotting out the sky; a foot as large as a house, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, came crashing down on him! (Chapter End)
