Chapter 678 - Chapter 678: The Giant Beast Hidden in the Clouds

Enkidu successfully blocked Moonfall.

However, the Noble Phantasm she used shattered the falling moon, rather than blasting the entire moon into dust.

It wasn't that Enkidu didn't want to do this.

But her Noble Phantasm output was also limited, and she couldn't destroy this moon with a diameter of thousands of kilometers.

For Brunestud, this was just playing around.

It was far from being a serious battle.

There is also a saying that goes well.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Enkidu successfully protected Snowfield City, but could not prevent the fragments of the moon from falling in other directions.

The aftermath of Moonfall was ravaging the surface -

The smallest fragment fell towards Washington, D.C., in the far east, falling at the confluence of the Anacostia River and the Potomac River, in the center of the river that was a kilometer wide.

The impact instantly blasted river water into the air, turning it into an unexpected downpour around the White House, which was already violently shaking from the earthquake.

A fragment struck the ground in Yellowstone Park, temporarily reactivating magma activity and alarming geologists.

Another fragment crossed the Pacific Ocean westward and fell into the sea near Japan.

The fragment, generating high heat due to magical energy loss, instantly evaporated a large amount of shallow seawater.

Nearby ships and coastal areas witnessed this steam and water column, reaching several kilometers in height, mistaking it for an undersea volcanic eruption, a long-range missile attack, or an alien invasion, causing a great uproar online.

Yet another fragment fell onto Russian territory, triggering an alert status due to the assumption of a foreign attack, and the whole world immediately felt this tension.

However, the largest impact on the world came from the second-largest fragment.

Carrying immense magical power, it flew north, instantly destroying surrounding matter upon impact.

Although the result did not destroy the land, it caused a huge mental shock to humanity.

When observation satellites reacquired its trajectory, nearly twelve percent of the Arctic ice cap had vanished without a trace.

No one would have imagined that the culprit behind such panic was simply acting on a whim.

The perspective shifts from the world back to Snowfield.

Enkidu's Chains of Heaven shattered eighty percent of the moon, but the remaining twenty percent of its core remained.

Even if it was only twenty percent, or one-fifth of the original mass, it was still at least several hundred kilometers in size, and its impact would be enough to flatten Snowfield City.

"Hah…"

Enkidu took a deep breath and continued to increase her magical output.

She didn't stop after shattering the moon.

At maximum output, she split her chains to redirect the moon fragments, twisting their trajectories as much as possible.

On the other side, Brunestud watched as if enjoying a good show, admiring Enkidu's desperate efforts.

Unfortunately, under Brunestud's control of gravity and natural forces, the weakened chains snapped.

"To be able to shatter my celestial body is something to be proud of. Just obediently watch how this city disappears. You don't need to blame yourself for losing to me… rather, consider it an honor."

Brunestud guided the moon fragments.

It seemed that this terrifying disaster from the sky was about to bring the Holy Grail War to a close.

On the horizon, there was a thick vortex of cumulonimbus clouds.

It was a typhoon moving towards Snowfield City.

It was unusually large, with cumulonimbus clouds surging out of the troposphere, emitting an unsettling aura.

This cloud was gathering magical power from heaven and earth.

"Oh? It seems things are happening one after another… not only a celestial creation but even a celestial extension has appeared here."

Brunestud frowned slightly upon seeing this scene, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The moon fragments did not strike Snowfield City.

A massive cumulonimbus cloud, over five hundred kilometers in diameter, suddenly appeared, writhing and turning its head towards the falling debris.

This giant cloud was like a living creature.

At its tip, two tornadoes extended towards the sky.

The tornadoes moved in a way that defied the laws of physics and the way tornadoes work, forming symmetrical and graceful curves, like the horns of a giant creature.

However, Brunestud saw through the cumulonimbus cloud.

It was a myth come to life.

Not just like horns.

They were undoubtedly the horns of a giant beast.

Brunestud's Rainbow Eyes, capable of seeing through all phenomena, correctly identified the form of the giant beast hidden beneath the mysterious disguise.

The two tornadoes concealed a deep and vibrant blue.

Like an aggregate of lapis lazuli mixed from the sea and the sky, it was composed of pure lapis lazuli rock, of which all the minerals on earth combined would probably not be enough.

Between the gaps in the giant typhoon's clouds, a golden skeleton flashed.

The lapis lazuli giant beast, with each bone comparable to a large city, strode across the world with a vortex of storms as its flesh.

The restless giant beast released immense magical power.

Unlike Brunestud, who distorted space with magical power, the giant beast's horns devoured and chewed space with divine energy, directly destroying concepts such as distance and direction.

The trajectory of the moon fragments was distorted, and they began to fall before reaching Snowfield City, plummeting straight towards the giant beast.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

Deep within the cumulonimbus cloud, the giant beast opened its mouth, swallowing the debris with a siphon-like momentum.

The moment it opened its mouth, a storm raged.

It was like a stone falling into the sea, only causing slight ripples at the entrance.

If it had fallen to the ground, it might have kicked up some dust.

But, in the giant beast's mouth, the moon fragments sank to the bottom without any reaction, not even causing the slightest ripple. The moment the giant beast devoured the moon fragments, the golden lapis lazuli radiance emanating from the typhoon intensified, transforming the debris into pure magical power.

It wasn't just the magical power that changed.

The wind speed inside the cumulonimbus cloud also increased in sync, steadily rising from the original 50 meters per second to 100 meters per second.

If the giant beast intended to increase the wind speed further, even breaking the limits of human historical records would not be a problem.

However, it seemed that due to someone's instructions, it did not fully unleash the storm here.

Because, rather than destroying that insignificant city and humanity, it shared the same wish as that goddess.

They had all gathered here for revenge.

Whether it was this body or the magical power within, it was all to be used for one purpose.

This time, they would surely take revenge on that man once again.
