Irumi suddenly looked up. Many soldiers in the military also looked up, with a hint of curiosity, towards the dark sky.
Dark clouds slowly moved in the sky. Blue light flickered within the clouds. Something seemed to be hidden in the cloud layer. Occasionally, a blue dragon shadow would flash through gaps in the clouds, and people could vaguely see it.
"Gulp, that's…"
Many soldiers swallowed, staring dumbfounded at the faintly discernible blue dragon shadow in the dark night sky. Although they could only see a little light, being in such an atmosphere where even the air fell silent, the oppressive feeling… made them feel as if they had forgotten even the instinct to breathe.
"Swish!"
As everyone was in shock, a fighter jet streaked across beneath the blue-lit clouds. Irumi could vaguely see a figure leaping from the fighter jet, falling straight towards the city center.
"It's coming!"
Irumi, looking at the sky, suddenly spoke. It was a premonition, a strong premonition. In the night sky's clouds, the flickering frequency of the blue light quickened. One could vaguely discern that it was moving towards the city center. People watched with upturned faces. The entire city seemed to have ceased its wailing, awaiting their appearance.
"Roar!!!"
With a dragon's roar, a massive blue-black dragon radiating deep blue light emerged from the clouds, like a galaxy, suspended across the sky. The dragon's body length reached hundreds of meters. The dragon's surface was covered with a layer of deep blue aura, and inside, there was black aura. It felt to Irumi as profound as a dark abyss, suppressing one's very breath.
"That person is…"
Irumi was astonished. To see more clearly, he activated Envy's ability. His sclera turned golden, and his pupils became jet black. These were an eagle's eyes. He saw the figure standing on the blue-black dragon's head, hands in pockets.
"Maha Zoldyck!"
Hands in pockets, shorts and sandals, small stature, face full of wrinkles—it was Maha Zoldyck, the oldest and strongest person in the Zoldyck family.
"We're here… kid."
Netero, high in the sky, seemed to sense his gaze and glanced out of the corner of his eye. He then focused his attention on the pure white figure, his expression solemn. According to his original plan, he would need a lot of time to observe the enemy in order to formulate countermeasures and tactical arrangements. But now, due to time constraints, he had to entrust this task to Irumi and his group.
"I hope they already have a strategy. We just need to cooperate."
In thought, Netero glanced at Maha Zoldyck. Maha Zoldyck returned his gaze, lowering his eyelids.
"Swish!"
He slowly pulled his hands from his pockets. His five fingers pressed together, palms facing downwards, thumbs and index fingers connected to form a triangle, aiming at the pure white figure.
"Buzz~"
High in the sky, the blue-black dragon's mouth opened wide, almost 180 degrees. Countless blue-black lights converged into its mouth, forming an energy ball like a dragon pearl. The dragon's head lowered slightly.
"Starlight Cascade!"
A silent voice, like that of a god, reached the ears of all.
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, Irumi's pupils sharply constricted. A blue-black energy pillar broke through the cloud layer's seal, carrying an overwhelming force. Where it passed, terrifying air currents erupted, scattering the dark clouds in the sky.
Due to its immense speed, rings of white smoke appeared in front of the blue-black light pillar. Layers of white airflow enveloped the blue-black light pillar, and outside the airflow, even larger rings of huge red smoke, with diameters exceeding ten meters, covered it, plummeting directly towards the city center.
The pure white figure looked up at the sky. A column of energy light, as dazzling as a star, "came into view," like a galaxy falling, descending straight towards it. The moment the light column fell, at this instant, space seemed to freeze, and even the gears of time stopped working. It couldn't feel the flow of wind, nor the passage of time.
"Rumble!!!"
The earth trembled. Dozens of meters of dust rose from the ground. A terrifying shockwave, like a nuclear bomb explosion, swept in all directions.
"Boom!"
Many black and red tentacles failed to withstand this terrifying shockwave. Like those previously bombed by missiles, they turned into dust in the dazzling light.
After a long while, the dust dispersed. The city center, already in ruins from the missile bombardment, now had a giant circular pit fifteen meters in diameter at its core.
"Hiss hiss…"
White mist pervaded the air. Even the sand had turned into reddish lava, slowly flowing within the giant pit.
"What terrifying destructive power, what an exaggerated technique…"
And higher in the sky, two tall figures descended from above, gazing at the city below, their pupils trembling, plunged into deep shock. They were Botobai Gigante and Ginta, who were not yet among the Twelve Zodiacs.
In the temporary command post on the outskirts of Bio City, dozens of soldiers stopped their work, watching the screen feed from the front lines, their throats bobbing. The soldiers in the command room looked at the ruined wasteland on the screen, cold sweat trickling down their temples, and said in an incredulous tone.
"This… is this really something humans can do?"
Another soldier, wearing a beret, a bead of cold sweat seeping from his forehead, gritted his teeth and frowned: "The premise is… are they really human?"
At this moment, in the city center.
"Thud…"
Maha Zoldyck and Netero landed simultaneously, standing ten meters away from the giant pit, observing the situation inside. Within the giant pit, the pure white figure was covered in cracks, its body dilapidated, like ceramics on the verge of shattering into pieces.
"Hiss…"
It stood in the center of the giant pit, its feet on the reddish lava, making a sound of flesh being seared, and several plumes of white smoke rose. But it was completely indifferent to this damage. It walked step by step out of the giant pit. As it walked, black lines continuously flew over, wrapping around its body. Its pure white body instantly turned jet black. It looked even more solid than before.
However, having suffered continuous heavy blows, its injuries were beyond recovery.
"Click…"
With a soft sound, a small black and red box emerged from beside its foot. Black lines slowly wrapped around it, lifting it to its front. It lightly raised its right arm and placed the box in its palm.
"That thing is its core, snatch it!" Irumi's voice suddenly rang out. Netero and Maha Zoldyck's expressions simultaneously turned grim, just as they were about to snatch it.
"Gulp…"
A swallowing sound echoed. In the astonished gazes of Irumi, Netero, and Maha Zoldyck, it raised the core, opened its large mouth, and swallowed it.
