NO. 99: Disaster·Calamity, Its Name is Demon God (Part 2)

What exactly is that? Is it a ghost?

It's a monster... it's a monster!

Get out of the way! Don't hinder me!

Mom!

You ahead! Are you looking for death?

Hey! My car!

Under the fickle sky, the area around the hospital building split open by a single slash was already in utter chaos.

Compared to rescuing the hospital, more people chose to flee for their lives, leaving behind a group of the old, weak, sick, and disabled, as well as the special-effects shed's unique trait of children crying on the spot, endlessly respawning.

Since there are children crying on the spot, there must indeed be brave souls rushing forward—at the moment the red-haired boy lunged to embrace one of the children, not far away another child was lifted by the blue‑green‑haired boy.

Neihai?!

Yuta!! You're really here!!

I say, you two, now isn't the time for catching up, right?

Xintiao Qian?!

You really aren't going to run?

Amidst the countless bricks and stones falling from the collapsing buildings, first Xintiao Qian's speechless voice interrupted their shock, then Alexis's quiet inquiry made them notice the huge debris falling from above.

Alexis!

I don't need me~

As he said that, everyone saw a swift gleam propping up above—indeed it was Sai Luo, who was well‑versed in this business.

Yo~ everyone, so busy!

Sai Luo-san!

Neihai instantly felt the emotion of checking off a famous scene, while the child in his arms cried out even louder than he did.

And such pretentious ease rests entirely on the burden‑bearing progress of those behind him.

Sai Luo-san! Please take them away!

Behind Sai Luo, within the silver dragon that blocked the Lovegghost Blade with the Galatron Sword, came Mazhongpeng's strained voice.

This was not due to oppression from the Lovegghost; rather, the Lovegghost hardly paid attention to his existence at all—it was merely because the huge commotion of Galatron and Sai Luo appearing together made it reflexively turn and swing a blade.

And after that blade was blocked, the dual‑souled warrior didn't pay it much mind, simply stepping forward to proceed elsewhere.

Naturally, those steps gave no thought to whether the buildings in the way could be stepped on or destroyed.

Thus Mazhongpeng was about to chase after him, but then suddenly halted, raising his hand to gaze toward the sky.

In Galatron's onboard radar, a large number of high‑energy responses were appearing out of thin air, all of them in midair.

Sai Luo-san.

Ah, I felt it too.

Rising, he pushed aside the debris behind him, and Sai Luo together with him looked toward the sky.

Without making anyone wait long, one massive body after another plummeted from the dark clouds; regardless of whether they injured themselves, it was enough to make the whole city feel continuous tremors.

Those nearby had to face a pure‑mass 'air raid' and an earthquake that made standing impossible.

"Most of them are old acquaintances, aren't they?" Sai Luo lamented with a wry smile.

Ah, I'm really worried about Aomo‑san...

Seeing that most of those 'air‑dropped monsters' were familiar to him, and that not long ago he had watched them flutter in Aomo‑san's hand as he shuffled cards like playing cards, Mazhongpeng felt especially uneasy.

He had been frightened all night.

In the blink of an eye, it was this city that he had grown familiar with over half a year, now suddenly strange; he couldn't find Aomo‑san and was forced to hide inside Galatron, using its monster power to forcibly resist that change in perception.

After barely making it to daylight, he was finally preparing to go to Liuhua Jia to search for Jiafeiqi Guang, but on the way he first encountered the 'Iga Chestnut Person'; just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he turned back to see the Lovegghost rampaging in the hospital, and his heart leapt into his throat once more.

Fortunately, reality unfolded just as he had imagined; for such a big event, as long as he showed up he would surely meet other clear‑headed companions.

Isn't it Yuta, Neihai, and Miss Qian who are here?

But how come there's no……

"Little Snake was taken away by someone else earlier; he must have foreseen the attack," Xintiao Qian said without beating around the bush, one hand holding the phone to stay in contact, the other helping Yuta take the child he had rescued and run off, "Instead of worrying about him, you guys should think about whether you can gather his monsters together."

"Gather together?" Sai Luo, who was already fighting Zetton and Mefilas up front alongside Galatron, didn't quite grasp what this new‑fangled suicide method was.

"The Repair Beam can restore them; before that, gathering them together will themselves point out Little Snake's whereabouts."

"Repair Beam? That isn't……" Neihai instinctively turned his head, looking toward Yuta.

"Oh du, aren't you being a bit rushed? Xiao Qian, Yuta‑kun, and I have been fighting since last night without rest."

"Have you built such a friendly relationship with him? Kailifu."

"I just recalled my youth, huh—probably three or four thousand years ago, back then I even brought along a high school girl~"

"I don't want to hear your time‑wasting talk; you know we barely have any time left now?!" Qian, who had sent the child far away and run back, glared at Kailifu, who had popped up on her phone screen.

"If you're talking about the source of the madness, then Anqi‑kun and the others should also be feeling some stimulation; we can solve it together~"

"Shut up! Kailifu, you completely haven't grasped the biggest problem right now!"

"What's the biggest problem right now?"

"We can't wait any longer!" she raised her hand toward the sky, pointing at the heavens where, despite having dropped so many powerful monsters, the shadow showed no sign of diminishing, "If we let that guy come down……"

——————Boom!!!!!!

Before the words even finished, a thunderous roar that echoed through the firmament arrived, carrying visible 'waves' that swept across the city's upper clouds.

Everyone instinctively looked up, yet saw nothing abnormal.

There was nothing in the sky, only a sudden clarity, allowing them to enjoy the sun's radiance.

But really, is there nothing at all?

But, really, is there nothing at all?

Many of them lack the patience to keep staring at the sky for another ten seconds.

Among them, many people lack the patience to stare at the sky for another ten seconds.

Otherwise, they would be like Qian, Yuta, and the others, hearing Sai Luo's tense shout "Here it comes!" and then simultaneously seeing a black dot suddenly appear in the sky.

Otherwise, they would be like Xi, Yutai, and the others, hearing Sai Luo's somewhat tense shout of 'Here it comes!' and then simultaneously seeing the black dot suddenly appear in the sky.

That dot rapidly expands, and in the blink of an eye it can once again cast a shadow over the city—namely, the entity massive enough to make Galatron turn to shield Xintiao Qian, while Sai Luo raises a shield in front of Neihai and Yuta, and the high‑speed dash of Gagura interrupts their focus, even swallowing them whole before continuing its sprint.

That dot rapidly enlarged; in a blink it could again cast a shadow over the city, enough to make Jiatelong turn back to shield Xin Tiaoxi, while Sai Luo raised his arm as a shield in front of Neihai and Yutai, and Gagula, swooping in at high speed, broke their focus and even swallowed them all in one gulp before continuing to rush forward.

That arch‑villain, whose photo everyone had seen and remembered in their hearts—the source of madness.

That archvillain, whom everyone had seen in photos and kept in mind—the Chaotic Origin.

Plummeting with its whole body ablaze, it struck the ground, shattering the Lovegghost, Mefilas, and Zetton that had not yet managed to flee, leaving only a drifting black mist in midair and delivering an even more horrifying earthquake to the city that had already suffered multiple impacts.

With its whole body ablaze, it plunged straight to the ground, directly smashing the Lian gui, Meifeilasi, and Jiedun that hadn't yet had time to get far, leaving only their half‑air floating black mist, and also giving this city, which had already suffered several impacts, an even more terrifying earthquake disaster.

"How could this happen…" At Gagura's visual‑sharing station, Apon didn't have time to greet the other bewildered monster users in the cockpit; he just stared, dumbfounded, at the massive cloud of dust.

"How..." Apeng, who was at Gagula's visual‑sharing position, didn't have time to greet the other several confused monster‑tamers in the cockpit, and was still staring blankly at the great dust‑mist.

And Neihai, who had previously interacted with Chen, exclaimed in anger: "Is it here to exterminate Aomo completely?!"

And Neihai, who had interacted with Chen, exclaimed angrily: 'Is it here to exterminate Aomo completely?!'

"No…" Chen's voice came from all around them: "It was shot down."

"No..." Chen's voice came from all around them: 'It was shot down.'

"That's right, it seems to have a mechanical arm in its chest." Sai Luo also said in a low voice.

"That's right, it seems to have a mechanical arm in its chest." Sai Luo also said in a low voice.

「？」xN

"?" xN

For a moment, the gazes of Yuta, Neihai, and Mazhongpeng turned bewildered, while Qian's expression grew utterly grim—so angry she flung her phone to the ground.

For a moment, Yutai, Neihai, and Apeng's gazes all turned bewildered, while Xi's expression became extremely unsightly, even to the point of angrily throwing her phone to the ground.

"So that's why I told you to seize the time!"

"That's why I said to seize the time!"

This commotion instantly made the nearby Neihai and Yuta reflexively raise their hands and feet to dodge, the former even feeling a fright as if Qian from the past had returned.

That commotion instantly made Neihai and Yutai at the edge instinctively raise their hands and feet to dodge, the former even feeling as if the past Xin Tiaoxi had returned, a sense of terror.

Miss Qian, do you know anything?

"Miss Xi, what do you know?"

The monster user Mazhongpeng merely wore a worried expression, yet Chen suddenly shouted: "Here it comes! Prepare for the second impact!"

Monster‑tamer Apeng merely looked worried, but then heard Chen suddenly shout: 'Here it comes! Prepare for the second impact!'

The instant the words fell, instead came a sort of muffled, heavy shriek from Chen, and everyone saw two colossal tornadoes piercing heaven and earth, descending from above, instantly obliterating all the dust and even drilling the madness‑source that had been buried in the ground straight down into the earth.

The moment the words fell, instead came a piercing whistle muffled by Chen; everyone saw two colossal tornadoes piercing heaven and earth descending from above, instantly dispelling all the dust‑mist, and even drilling the Chaotic Origin that had been buried in the ground deep underground.

"A hurricane… could it be Nigecalis?!" Mazhongpeng exclaimed in delight.

"A hurricane… is it Nikajalis?!" Apeng exclaimed in delight.

Since he also indeed hadn't seen the Renryuu or the Kokusan among the falling monsters, he merely thought he might have glimpsed a Kokusan‑like silhouette moving through the city at dawn.

For he indeed had not seen Renlong or Hongshe among the descending monsters, but merely thought he had glimpsed a Hongshe‑like shadow moving through the city at dawn.

But before Qian could even deny his guess, a black shadow had already dropped straight down from above the storm, planting itself firmly on the ground while, at the same time, a mechanical arm wailed up from the depths below and smoothly attached to his arm, which was missing a section of its wrist.

Before Xi could deny his guess, a black shadow plummeted from above the storm, planting itself firmly on the ground, while from the abyss below a wailing mechanical arm emerged and smoothly attached to his arm, which was missing a section of wrist.

He simply stood there in the half‑destroyed city, facing everyone, raised both arms, and caused the black haze still lingering in midair to be completely sucked into his cage‑like steel maw.

He stood there like that in the half‑ruined city, facing everyone, raising both arms, causing the black mist still hovering in midair to be completely drawn into his barred steel‑cage mouth.

That stance bore an astonishing resolve that in no way resembled a benevolent figure.

That posture bore an astonishing vigor that in no way resembled a pushover.

What new kind

"What kind of new Gulite is this?..."

I have seen the Gurren Lagann knight, and also seen the Gurren Lagann's mazhongpeng; I hold a rather biased view of these mechanical giants.

Having seen Gulite knights and also Gulite's Mazhongpeng, I hold a rather biased view of such mechanical giants.

That's Devil Zero.

"That is Demon God Zero."

With one foot on the already cracked screen, Shindou Akane answered through gritted teeth.

With one foot on the cracked screen, Xin Tiaoxi answered through gritted teeth.

"It bears the most dangerous emotions in Little Snake's heart, far more extreme than Nigirikaris, and it will destroy everything!"

"It carries the most dangerous feeling in Xiaoshe's heart, far more extreme than Nikajalis, and will destroy everything!"
