*Rumble!*
*Bang!*
The airplane hadn't climbed very high above the city yet. The moment Rean understood what had happened, the ground a few dozen meters below them exploded apart.
A gigantic flaming maw burst from beneath the ground, lunging straight at the airplane at a speed far beyond any Godly Predator they had encountered until now.
"Fuck!"
Rean cursed as he shoved the controls forward. The Celestial Thrusters roared to life while the Godly Pressure Disguise was immediately turned OFF, allowing the thrusters to draw much more energy.
*Tufffff!*
The flaming maw missed the airplane by a hair, shooting past it like a blazing bullet. The airplane didn't escape unscathed, though. The intense heat radiating from the Godly Creature instantly melted several sections at the rear of the aircraft. Fortunately, the thrusters themselves remained intact, although the damage made the airplane much harder to steer. Several warning lights immediately lit up across the control panel.
