Pirro City, Police Headquarters, Public Safety Building.
"Ding-a-ling..."
Inside the Public Safety Building, police officers ran back and forth quickly, all armed with guns and weapons.
"Rumble..."
The Public Safety Building swayed precariously, dust and rubble shaking loose, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Inside the director's office, a middle-aged man with a strong, masculine demeanor and graying temples sat in his office chair, calmly circling red areas on a map. He wore a uniform, his chest adorned with various medals.
"Bang."
A young police officer pushed open the door and rushed into the director's office, seeing the middle-aged man still seated, his face filled with worry. "Director!"
"Why are you still here? Hurry and take shelter!" The young police officer quickly ran to the desk, looking anxiously at the director, who was still drawing on the map. "Director, it's too dangerous here, please evacuate as soon as possible!"
However, the director held up the map in his hand, scrutinized it carefully, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry about me. The most important thing now are the citizens. Let's not talk about that for now. The places in the red circles are emergency shelters built in the past to avoid war. Organize the citizens to take shelter there as much as possible. The military is about to arrive in Pirro City. We must save as many lives as possible before then."
The director handed the map to the young police officer, who took it, folded it neatly, and put it away, his gaze towards the director filled with deep respect and gratitude.
"Yes!" The young police officer saluted the director with a serious expression. The director smiled and returned his salute.
"Director, please take care!" After saluting, the young police officer bowed deeply to the director, then quickly left the director's office.
Pirro City, Central Avenue...
"Beep beep beep..."
Numerous cars sped along this main urban thoroughfare, their horns blaring incessantly. At this moment, the drivers completely disregarded traffic rules, only pressing the accelerator, praying to escape this hellish city.
"Boom!" A car crashed into another, spinning and rolling to the side of the road. In Pirro City, such situations were commonplace. From time to time, cars collided with others due to excessive speed.
"Boom boom boom..." A series of tremors suddenly echoed on Central Avenue. The ground continuously caved in, and thick black-and-red tentacles broke through the earth.
"Bang bang bang..." Black-and-red tentacles burrowed out of the ground, entering from under cars and emerging from their roofs. "Ahhh!!!"
Cars were lifted high into the air by black-and-red tentacles, screams rose and fell, and blood splattered on car windows, a horrifying sight.
Pirro City, Tishiru District.
"Quick, run, the shelter is just ahead." On the street, several uniformed police officers were leading a large crowd of people fleeing. They claimed there was an emergency shelter, and the terrified masses followed these police officers, running all the way.
However, their large-scale movement inevitably attracted the attention of numerous black-and-red tentacles. Along the way, people were continuously impaled by black-and-red tentacles and lifted high into the air.
"Tat-tat-tat..." On both sides of the crowd, dozens of police officers, armed with assault rifles and automatic pistols, fired indiscriminately at the black-and-red tentacles that suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Clink-clank..." However, ordinary bullets fired at them were like hitting an iron plate, serving no purpose other than splashing a few sparks.
"This place has completely turned into a Shura hell." "This atmosphere, filled with fear, blood, and slaughter, is truly captivating." Illumi and the two stood on the church roof. Greed looked at the spectacular scenes in the city, chuckling menacingly.
"Boom!!!" A deafening roar.
Illumi and the two on the church roof all shook simultaneously, looking up at the city's outskirts. Countless incredibly thick black-and-red tentacles suddenly burst out from underground, splashing up large amounts of dust and gray mist. These black-and-red tentacles formed a dark red wall dozens of meters high, encircling the entire city.
Thick black-and-red tentacles, two to three meters in diameter, danced wildly tens of meters in the air, dense and numerous, like mythical Cthulhu monsters.
"Could these tentacles really have turned this city into an altar?" Illumi's expression darkened. In an instant, he recognized the tentacles' intention.
"Rumble..." At this moment, another tremor arrived, but it wasn't caused by the tentacles. It was Peregros's army finally arriving. But the army was blocked outside by the dark red wall dozens of meters high, unable to enter the city.
"Swish!" A tactical reconnaissance plane cut through the sky, bringing with it a booming sound.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." High-speed rotating rotors generated strong winds, and the roaring of helicopter engines entered Illumi's ears. Looking up, a white helicopter was slowly flying hundreds of meters in the sky. One could vaguely see someone inside carrying a high-definition camera, filming the city below.
"These reporters, they're not afraid of death." Illumi looked at the helicopters flying high in the sky, expressionless.
"What on earth is going on!?" On the helicopter, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap backwards filmed the city below with his camera, saying in disbelief.
In the camera's view, thick black-and-red tentacles impaled human bodies, holding them high in the city's mid-air, dense and numerous, making his scalp prickle. "Everywhere are black and red, tentacle-like things, with human corpses hanging on them."
The middle-aged man turned the camera towards the city's edge. In the footage, thick black-and-red tentacles burrowed out of the ground, reinforcing the dark red city wall.
"Boom boom boom..." Outside the city wall, deafening cannon fire continuously echoed. That was the army attacking the walls made of tentacles.
"Tentacle-like things are forming a circle and surrounding the city!"
"Look over here!" Inside the helicopter, another female reporter in a pure white suit held a microphone, looking forward, her eyes filled with disbelief. The middle-aged man carrying the camera heard the female reporter's call and immediately turned the camera to her.
"This is..." "City center... has been occupied..."
In their line of sight, within a five-kilometer radius around the city center, the ground was covered with dense black-and-red tentacles. Red light occasionally flashed on those black-and-red tentacles, moving along the tentacles to a huge altar in the very center.
"Hiss hiss hiss..." At this moment, more than ten black-and-red tentacles appeared below the altar, coiling up like giant pythons and "climbing" onto the altar.
"Click click click..." More than ten black-and-red tentacles reached above the altar. With a series of "click" sounds, the black-and-red tentacles pierced into the giant black sphere, continuously supplying energy.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, a black-and-red tentacle suddenly burst out of the city ground below the helicopter, striking towards the helicopter in the sky.
"Kyaaa~!!" The black-and-red tentacle instantly reached hundreds of meters in the sky. Amidst the female reporter's scream, it impaled the helicopter with a single strike.
The helicopter "crackled" with a flash of sparks. A large amount of blood splattered on the windows, and the entire helicopter was entwined by the black-and-red tentacles, lifted hundreds of meters into the air.
