At this moment, chaos reigned within the Misula City Commissioner's Office. The fog zone expanded rapidly, to the point that some Marines were unable to escape in time and went missing at the edge of the fog. News of the "Flamingo" frigate, which had recently entered port, failing to fire at the anomaly in the sky had already reached this place.
"When will the reinforcements from the mainland arrive?" Lord Wayne Anderson kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, but as soon as he wiped it away, sweat began to seep out again...
"The tactical flight squadron from Honil Air Force Base has taken off, but it will take 20 minutes to reach the airspace over Misula Island."
"Furthermore, the latest news is that the Ministry of National Defense has assessed the current sea conditions around Misula Island and rejected the proposal to use orbital paratroopers for airdrops..."
"They said that under these storm weather conditions, the airdrop of orbital paratroopers, especially heavy weapons, would be impossible..."
"Damn it, I'm going to call the Colonial Secretary, Earl Robert, myself to complain about these bastards!!!" Lord Wayne Anderson roared in fury, standing up and storming out of the noisy conference room, which had become the heart of the incident, amidst the gazes of his many subordinates.
....................................
After leaving the office, he quickly beckoned his assistant, Neville, who was following behind him, and his angry expression changed instantly: "Go and check if the plane is ready. Make sure we can leave at any time."
Nevel paused for a moment, almost not reacting immediately, before nodding with a slightly strange expression and saying, "Yes, Your Excellency, I will confirm it right away. I will have the crew ready to leave at any time."
“Very good, that’s important, Neville. Also, inform my family to go directly to the helipad and wait there,” Lord Wayne Anderson nodded and gave the order.

"What...what is this?!" Sitting in the speeding vehicle, Lieutenant Marshall stared dumbfounded through the open rear door at the enormous monster that had emerged from the mist in mid-air behind him, his grip on the gun he was firing almost too loose to hold.
The armored vehicles were still moving forward at high speed. They had been driving at high speed for ten minutes, but there was still no sign of them leaving this strange world.
Initially, there were two armored vehicles and one off-road vehicle. By this time, only one remained, the armored vehicle that Lieutenant Marshall was riding in. Including the driver and Lieutenant Marshall himself, there were eight soldiers remaining in the vehicle.
Behind them, a dozen or so bizarre monsters of various shapes were chasing them on the ground, just like a pack of wolves hunting on the grassland. Meanwhile, the soldiers inside the vehicle opened the rear door and began firing their guns at the rear.
However, at this moment, facing the enormous monster that had appeared in the sky, everyone's faces showed fear and despair.
It was a monster with an extremely bizarre appearance that could drive people with trypophobia crazy. Its oval body was covered with dense tentacles and protrusions. Its front was like a grapefruit that had been peeled in half. In the gap that seemed to have been peeled, a huge eye was faintly visible, and next to this huge eye were many dense compound eyes.

On either side of his body were a pair of enormous wings that almost covered half the sky. These wings looked like the ribbons of a jellyfish in the water. Although they were open, they did not flap, as if they possessed some kind of supernatural buoyancy that allowed the monster to float in mid-air.
The monster was deep red all over, just like a demon from hell in legend. Judging by sight alone, the length of its wingspan was probably over a hundred meters. The tentacles, protrusions and compound eyes on its body were constantly writhing, while the main eye was staring unblinkingly at the armored vehicle moving below.
What an evil being this is!!!
“Oh… Holy Lord…” Lieutenant Marshall subconsciously drew the shape of a crown on his chest.
Beside him, another soldier stared in disbelief at what was happening in the sky, his gun falling to the ground.
Beside this soldier, another soldier had already burst into tears, sobbing and muttering, "Father... I... I praise you... You are a merciful God... You do not break the bruised reed... You do not extinguish the smoldering wick... You... You can understand my weakness... You take away all my burdens... Redeem me... Protect me from the works of the evil one..."
Amidst the despairing gazes of the soldiers inside the vehicle, the automatic turret on the top of the armored vehicle began to rotate automatically. With the assistance of intelligent AI, the optical aiming quickly selected the giant monster in the sky as the highest priority enemy!
The rapid-fire cannons immediately began spewing out continuous flames. However, all the shells disappeared into the air as if they had been thrown into the sea, creating ripples that were clearly visible to the soldiers on the vehicle.
And that's all the rapid-fire cannon shells have; they have no other effect whatsoever...
What should I do... what should I do...
Lieutenant Marshall's back was completely soaked with sweat. His heart was pounding, and his eyes were blank and helpless. This was a situation he had never faced before. Was this really something someone like him could handle?!
Filled with despair, he couldn't help but curse inwardly the officers who had sent him to his death...
Those damn things... those office workers should really see what kind of beings we're dealing with...
Why would they only send their own people over for something so dangerous? Shouldn't the main force be transported directly from the mainland?
No, at least tactical nuclear weapons would be needed to solve this, right?!
Just as the people on the armored vehicle were filled with despair, they heard a loud rumble in the sky...
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, accompanied by a strong tremor!
"boom!!!!"
Just then, a loud rumble came from the east, accompanied by a tremor that shook the entire ground, as if a meteorite had struck the earth.
All the soldiers turned their heads toward the direction from which the loud noise came. Because it was in a blind spot on the side of the vehicle, they couldn't see what was happening except for the billowing smoke and dust.
"Boom! Boom! Boom... Boom! Boom... Boom!! Boom..."
However, their curiosity soon faded, because every few seconds, a loud roar would be heard, accompanied by violent shaking of the ground.
Until they saw an object as sharp as lightning fall from the sky and strike the ground with a bang, just a hundred meters behind their vehicle. The huge seismic wave even bounced the entire vehicle up.
A monster that couldn't dodge in time was hit directly and almost instantly shattered into pieces!
"boom!!!!"
With a deafening roar, a nearby ruin-like building collapsed and shattered like a fragile eggshell, carrying a powerful shockwave that swept up the surrounding monsters, causing them to vanish without a trace.
Through the swirling dust, Lieutenant Marshall and his men stared wide-eyed at the sight of a massive longsword, several meters tall, planted in the ground, its tip embedded in the earth while most of the blade stood upright!
The entire sword was surrounded by blazing white lightning. The sword seemed both real and illusory, and it was stuck in the ground like a monument formed by lightning.
The earth-shattering roar continued, clearly indicating that far more than just one longsword had fallen to the ground.
Even though Lieutenant Marshall was extremely curious and wanted to know what it was,
However, reason told him that he had to get away, as far away as possible!
In the sky, the enormous monster was clearly stimulated by something. Its entire body suddenly contracted and writhed, and all its tentacles, large and small, stretched outwards. Then it began to vibrate at a high frequency. The single eye hidden in the layers of folds was now shrouded in a dark flame, as if it were burning!
In the air in front of him, the entire void began to churn, as if someone had boiled water. The once calm air was suddenly filled with dense, turbulent currents, turning the entire void into chaos.
If someone were to observe closely at this moment, they would notice faint ripples spreading forward. However, these ripples seemed to be blocked by some invisible force, as if they had entered viscous water, causing them to spread to both sides and eventually disturb the entire void as if it were boiling!
At this moment, the armored vehicle Lieutenant Marshall was in was speeding recklessly at high speed. The entire vehicle was almost driving at its design speed limit. All the soldiers in the rear compartment were violently shaken and almost spat out their food. However, at this moment, no one complained. Everyone just held on to the handrails in the compartment. Although they were being shaken from side to side, they still complained that the speed could not be faster!
At the same time that dense turbulence appeared, Lieutenant Marshall watched all this with trepidation through the broken, unclosable rear door of the armored vehicle. There was complete silence around him; all the soldiers were staring blankly, some with their mouths agape, others drawing crowns on their chests.
They were already several hundred meters away from the giant swords and other strange creatures in the dam, yet everyone felt no sense of security. Even inside the seemingly heavy armored vehicle, they felt as if they were just ants on the edge of a vortex, constantly at risk of being swept into the massive vortex and losing their lives...

"Martin, go faster!!!" Lieutenant Marshall turned his head and shouted at the driver in the driver's seat with a distorted face.
"Sir, we can't go any faster!!! The accelerator is floored!!!"
