Chapter 328 The Invitation of Death, the Doomsday Crisis of Monopole!
Chapter 328 The Invitation of Death, the Doomsday Crisis of Monopole!
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, all the suspense and all the foreshadowing point to the ultimate terror hidden behind the scenes—the Root Destruction Summoning Entity.
The video platform refreshed its page precisely at 8 PM on Friday.
Countless viewers watching on their screens immediately clicked play.
Accompanied by a low, somber background sound, the screen goes dark, followed by the episode title.
The Demise of XIG!
The moment the title appeared, the comment section exploded.
So, what big event will happen in this episode?
The last one with this name was Leo.
Low emotional intelligence: total annihilation; high emotional intelligence: insufficient funds.
[But Light Chaser Animation's budget must be quite ample, right? Didn't they blow up enough models in the last episode?]
[Hopefully they won't mess this up!]
The main feature screen lights up.
The plot doesn't immediately jump into a grand battlefield, but instead presents an extremely eerie sense of everyday life.
The ramen shop, which looked a bit old, was steaming hot.
Fujimiya was sitting at the bar, eating ramen with his head down.
Since losing Agul's radiance, he seems to have lived a brief period of ordinary life.
The wall-mounted TV in the ramen shop is playing live news.
"Next, please welcome our on-site reporter, Ms. Jing Ling, to report for us..."
In the television footage, Jing Ling stands on the periphery of the Geo base, holding a microphone, with a very serious expression.
"This is Jingling, and I am currently at the Geo base. Regarding media reports alleging that GUARD and the Annihilation Entity are engaging in private peace negotiations, a GUARD spokesperson has issued a statement denying this, claiming it is a baseless report..."
On television, Jing Ling paused for a moment, then continued, "Later, we wanted to interview Staff Officer Ye Qian directly, but we were refused. This is Jing Ling's report from in front of the Geo base."
Fujimiya, who was eating noodles, paused.
What's going on? Are the defense forces about to surrender?
[Fake news! How could a tough nut like Staff Officer Ye Qian possibly negotiate with the Destruction Recruitment Entity!]
"We were ready to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?"
Fujimiya knew that, given the personalities of Staff Officer Ye Qian and Commander Ishimuro, this was completely impossible.
The world seemed upside down, exuding an indescribable strangeness.
To find out what was going on, Fujimiya put down his chopsticks, took out a banknote and placed it on the table, preparing to immediately head to where Irene was.
"Boss, keep the change."
Fujimiya turned and walked outside.
Just then, the ramen shop owner turned around, looked at Fujimiya's back, and suddenly let out a chilling laugh.
"Hahaha……"
Fujimiya suddenly stopped and turned around.
On the television screen, the host wore an extremely distorted, stiff smile, and his eyes were terrifyingly empty.
"How does it taste, Mr. Fujimiya?"
The host grinned, his voice sounding like it was squeezed out of hell.
He can actually communicate with Fujimiya through television?!
"It seems you really like Miss Jing Ling."
Fujimiya's pupils contracted slightly as he instantly realized that something was wrong with his surroundings.
This is not reality!
Or rather, reality has been distorted by some force!
What's going on here?
Watching this late at night is a bit scary!
[Who can resist that thunderous laughter?!]
Hallucination? Or mind control?
The scene then shifts to outer space, outside of Earth.
Inside the air base.
The piercing alarm suddenly shattered the peace.
"The communications satellite has malfunctioned!" Georgie's face changed drastically as she rapidly typed on the keyboard.
"How could this be?" Li Muzi immediately followed up with data investigation.
Commander Shi Shi strode to the main control panel, his eyes fixed on the large screen.
On the radar display, a huge red spot is rapidly taking shape.
"An unidentified object has appeared above the air base!" Li Muzi reported loudly.
Director Di Cheng immediately issued the order: "Investigate immediately!"
In order to obtain more detailed intelligence, Commander Ishimuro immediately dispatched the Falcon Squadron led by Tatsuhiko Tada to fly fighter jets over Earth for close-range reconnaissance.
Subsequently, the Falcon team piloted their fighter jets to the area where the satellite was destroyed.
The moment the Falcon team's fighter jet broke through the atmosphere, Tian Dayan was completely shocked by what he saw.
At that moment, a purple energy fluctuation flashed by!
Against the backdrop of the vast universe, a terrifying behemoth of indescribable size is slowly approaching Earth.
The behemoth was surrounded by a terrifying energy field; the fighter jet's instrument panel began to flash wildly as soon as it got close.
Its bizarre shape resembles an asteroid enveloped in countless metals and strange biological tissues, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
Compared to the Zolim, the giant beast that had peeked out of the wormhole before, the oppressive feeling of this monster was no less.
[This size... are you kidding me?]
Did they bring half a moon over here?
[The true form of the Destruction Summoning Body? How am I supposed to fight this?!]
Still incredibly fit!
[Conventional weapons wouldn't even scratch this thing!]
……
"I am Tian Dayan! I am..."
Tian Dayan's distorted voice came through the communication channel, and then he was completely cut off.
Along with the fluctuations in the behemoth's energy, the powerful magnetic field directly interfered with the fighter jet's flight.
"Wow, it's huge... What kind of monster is this?!"
the other side.
Fujimiya, having escaped the ramen shop, walks down an empty street.
He realized that this enemy must possess extremely powerful strength; this was by no means a simple military invasion, but a deeper level of targeting.
He hurriedly took out his communicator and tried to contact me.
"Shhh..."
The communicator only emitted a harsh electrical noise.
A sinister smile flashed across the communicator's screen.
Death had severed all his means of communication.
Worried about Jingling's safety, Fujimiya rushed to her apartment.
When he arrived, he found the apartment door wide open.
Fujimiya rushed into the room, but it was empty. It seemed that Irene had been taken into custody.
Just then, a door at the far end of the room, which had been tightly closed, caught Fujimiya's attention.
The door emitted a faint, eerie light, and it seemed as if a mysterious force was drawing him from behind it.
Without hesitation, Fujimiya slowly pushed open the door and went inside.
The world behind the door is no longer the layout of an apartment, but a vast space filled with strange, floating giant stars!
Fujimiya found Irene lying unconscious on the ground.
"Jing Ling! Jing Ling!"
Fujimiya went over to check on her and breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that she was only unconscious.
"Don't worry, she just fainted."
A deep, ethereal voice, carrying a certain compassionate tone, echoed in the empty space.
Fujimiya suddenly raised his head.
On the high platform ahead, a figure stood who had appeared out of nowhere: a Buddha, dressed in a purple robe, covered in strange spikes, wielding a sharp longsword, with an eerie face.
Indeed, his appearance is quite similar to that of the Buddha in mythology!
It was Death.
"I am... the messenger of the Lord."
The "Buddha" looked down at Fujimiya with a calm tone.
Fujimiya stood up, shielding Irene behind him, and looked at him warily: "Master?"
"That's right. This is... inside Mochian's body." Death spread his arms, showing off this vast space.
Then, Death waved his hand.
The ground beneath Fujimiya's feet suddenly became transparent.
This allowed Fujimiya to see the entire ground beneath his feet.
A huge meteorite came into his view.
"And this stone is a gift from the Lord to you."
……
Meanwhile, inside the air base, the test results for Mochian came out!
They also discovered anomalies within the giant beast's body!
I dreamt of wide-eyed:
"Monopoles!?"
"How could such a thing exist?"
[Monopolarity? What kind of science fiction concept is this?]
[Magnetic monopoles? Something from theoretical physics! Magnets with only N poles or only S poles!]
[They're even bringing up this kind of concept?]
If true, then the mass and energy would be terrifyingly large!
Seeing the confusion of those around her, I quickly explained.
"It is a magnetic monopole. Magnets have north and south poles, and theoretically, such monopole substances exist."
In physics, a "monopole" is a particle that theoretically possesses only a single magnetic pole (either only an N pole or only a S pole).
As for Mochian, the N-pole, he will absorb all S-pole matter.
I was shocked by the test results.
"Theoretically, nothing like this has ever been discovered on Earth!"
"However, it's said that this is material formed during the Big Bang. If that monster carrying monopoles were to land on Earth..."
Everyone's expression changed instantly.
They have a good grasp of the basics of physics.
"It will generate a powerful northerly magnetic force!"
"The mantle will move dramatically, and the tectonic plates will collide with each other..."
"A major disaster is going to happen!" I said through gritted teeth.
[Got it, this is a super bomb capable of tearing the earth's crust apart.]
[Once it hits the ground, the Earth will be physically shattered.]
[Is this the ultimate killing move of the Destruction Summoning Entity? Why is it always targeting Earth?]
Earth: My rebellious son is still the most filial; others always want to reshape the Earth.
In the strange space on the other side.
Why?
Fujimiya questioned the Grim Reaper before him, "Why did you have to use something like that?!"
Death's smile vanished, his eyes turning icy: "To annihilate humanity. To return Earth to its state when it was first born, a...purification is necessary."
Time passed by, second by second.
Inside the air base command center.
Director Di Cheng began to plan the counterattack.
"How long will it take for the monster to reach the ground?"
"At this rate, we have 90 minutes left!" Li Muzi reported urgently.
"No, it's 30 minutes."
I stared at the rapidly rising energy levels on the screen, my voice heavy, "In 30 minutes, it will have a devastating impact on the ground."
At this distance, the magnetic field of a monopole is sufficient to trigger geological disasters on the Earth's surface.
The commander of the stone chamber suddenly turned around and issued the highest-level combat order.
"Mobilize all of XIG's power! We must stop this monster!"
"Everyone, move out!"
The defense forces' war machine was fully operational at that moment.
"All ships are on Level One alert!"
Di Cheng relayed the order to every department via broadcast.
"Lightning Team, Falcon Team, Cool Dragon Team! All fighter jets, get out there!" Director Di Cheng shouted the order.
The lights inside the base switched to a glaring red warning color.
The chaos was tempered with order, demonstrating the remarkable responsiveness of personnel within an air base.
Inside the hangar, all the pilots immediately rushed to their fighter jets.
"Attention everyone, Level 1 alert issued! All team members, take your positions immediately!"
"Combat Bridge G Activated!"
"All fighter jets are ready for sortie!"
"All aircraft deployed!"
With a series of rapid commands, XIG unleashed all its aerial power, transforming into streaks of light as it charged toward the apocalyptic behemoth descending from the sky.
However, the gap in strength is hopeless.
Mochian doesn't even need to launch an active attack; its massive magnetic field and gravitational waves act like an invisible wall.
As soon as the fighter jets approached, all the electronic instruments malfunctioned instantly.
The fuselage emitted a metallic creaking sound as it was pulled apart by the violent gravity.
"ah--!"
The communication channel was filled with the pilots' exclamations.
In just one encounter, XIG's prized ace fleet was thrown into complete chaos and paralysis.
Inside the alternate dimension within Mochian's body.
Fujimiya stared intently at Death and asked the question that had been lingering in everyone's mind.
"Why do you hate humans? What have humans done to you?"
Death looked at Fujimiya and suddenly became terrified, as if he had seen something horrifying!
"Because we don't want to be destroyed either."
Fujimiya was stunned: "You mean, humans have made you..."
"If this continues, the entire universe will be in danger."
Death's tone suddenly became urgent!
As he spoke, he released the human's counterattack perspective.
At this moment, the battle outside came into Fujimiya's view.
"All fighter jets are ready! All aircraft carrier systems are set up! All ships, commence attack!"
The main cannons of the air base began to roar wildly, and dazzling laser beams poured down on Mochian's massive body like a torrential rain.
But all of this was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.
The Grim Reaper ignored the gunfire outside and continued his brainwashing sermons to Fujimiya.
"The Lord is watching over you and is often worried about you."
"Let me show you, let me show you the true face of the universe."
Death snapped his fingers.
The surrounding space instantly transformed.
Fujimiya saw images of galaxies and the universe.
The galaxy is constantly shrinking.
Then, it transformed into a girl in white...
The camera then focused on the critically ill girl.
"Open your eyes wide."
The voice of Death was like a curse: "This girl is infected with a malignant virus. The Lord used every kind of medicine to remove the virus from her body. And those medicines are what you call the 'Root of Destruction'."
As Fujimiya looked at the suffering girl, his mind raced, and he immediately understood the metaphor of death.
"You mean, humans... humans are a virus that destroys the universe? Is that what you mean?!" Fujimiya roared angrily.
Death smiled slightly: "Don't you think this virus is incredibly tenacious? No matter how strong the medication, it still tries to spread throughout the entire universe. It's just too tenacious."
Humans are the virus, monsters are the white blood cells, and the Destruction Bringer is the doctor?
The arrogance of a purely advanced civilization.
[Because you might pose a threat to me in the future, I'm going to kill you now, like a virus?]
Aggression is aggression; no matter how nicely it's packaged, it's still massacre!
Let these monsters taste the iron fist of humanity!
[Forgot the beginning, forgot the middle, let the Milky Way burn! Let the sea of stars boil! Let the stars fall!]
【You haven't forgotten anything, have you?】
Death's words completely negated the value of human existence, reducing human struggles and the will to survive to the spread of a virus.
Meanwhile, the air base was in dire straits.
The main gun's attack not only failed to achieve its purpose, but also enraged Mochian.
The behemoth unleashed even more violent monopole energy fluctuations.
Rumble—!
Countless turrets were destroyed!
A violent explosion also occurred inside the air base, sending sparks flying.
"Run! Run! Hurry!" In the base corridor, staff members fled in panic through the thick smoke.
"Half of the B4 turret is destroyed!" Li Muzi reported loudly in front of the swaying control console.
"Second Machine Department System Engine Stop!"
Director Di Cheng looked at the radar screen, which was riddled with holes, and gritted his teeth as he issued the humiliating order.
"All fighter jets, return immediately! Redeploy the battle plan!"
Inside the space within Mochian's body.
As Death watched the defense forces suffer a crushing defeat, he turned to Fujimiya and finally revealed the true purpose of his trip.
"Fujimiya. The Lord really needs you."
Fujimiya looked at him coldly: "A Root of Destruction, you need me?"
Death pointed to the unconscious Jing Ling on the ground.
"Yes. If you can relieve her suffering, the Lord is willing... to give you Mochian."
Death opened its arms, as if bestowing supreme glory.
"We will also entrust you with the entire fate of the Earth."
This is an extremely tempting offer.
If Fujimiya simply nods in agreement, if he abandons those humans he once considered selfish and foolish, he can become the new ruler of the Earth and be spared this devastating catastrophe.
Death is gambling.
Deep down, Fujimiya still harbors a deep disappointment with humanity.
[Fujimiya: Guess if I'll turn into King Bo and stab you?]
Sowing discord is no longer effective!
[Fujimiya: Sorry, I've already cleared my name. I'm now a staunch defender of the cause.]
The scene then cuts back to the air base on the verge of collapse.
Inside the base, alarms blared mournfully.
At this point, only the emergency red light remained in the command center.
"To maintain air pressure, immediately seal the protective shield!"
The continuous system announcements echoed through the corridor.
Commander Ishimura stood on the bridge, sparks flying from the control console beside him.
"How's the interception system that can be activated?" Di Cheng asked quickly.
"Four mortar launchers in the middle of the ship, and two machine guns on the starboard side." Li Muzi quickly pulled up the remaining firepower data.
This level of firepower is barely enough to tickle Mochian.
"What should I do... how can I defeat them?"
At this moment, the commander's mutterings attracted everyone's attention.
In this moment of despair, I dreamt of a crazy idea.
"The monster possesses a magnetic monopole north pole... If there were a south pole capable of counteracting it, it might be possible to lure the monster away!"
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
"But if we do this, there's a possibility... the result might be..." I hesitated, unable to finish my sentence.
The commander of the stone chamber immediately pressed, "What will the outcome be?"
I took a deep breath: "If we push the data of the anti-gravity device to its limit, it's possible to get very close to the south pole of a magnetic monopole. But doing that..."
The stone chamber spoke for me in my dream what he couldn't say aloud:
"The air base will have to be sacrificed."
Sacrifice the air base.
These six words struck a chord deep in everyone's hearts.
Is this fortress, which cost countless funds and effort and symbolizes the pinnacle of human technology, about to fall here?
"What is the monster's current location?"
Li Muzi stared at the glaring countdown on the screen: "We are about to enter a danger zone!"
"If it descends further, the ground will be affected!"
There was no time to hesitate.
The camera focused on the tightly closed eyes in the stone chamber.
He was thinking...
He is making a choice...
The somber background music further heightened the atmosphere of the entire series.
Faced with a colossal enemy that would destroy the entire world upon landing, Commander Ishimuro made his final decision as captain of the ship.
He turned around, his resolute gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Everyone, evacuate from the air base!"
"Use the anti-gravity device to lure the monster away and ascend to a safe altitude."
"Use the aerial base... to destroy the monster!"
