At this moment, both Fang Li and Alisa witnessed an incredibly unbelievable scene. They saw a massive figure appear on the other side of a hill at the edge of the wilderness, its enormity far surpassing that of the previous Vajra.
Believing solely in terms of size, the opponent’s size was sufficient to surpass any large-scale Aragami. This immensely colossal figure resembled a monster, emitting roars while extending vine-like tentacles from its body, constantly lashing out in all directions.
“Boom—!”
The ground was struck heavily.
“BOOM—!”
The air resounded with continuous explosive sounds.
“BOOM— Rumble—!”
Under the rampage of this colossal figure, the entire sky and earth seemed to tremble and shake as if in a terrifying nightmare. Fang Li and Alisa, enduring the ear-piercing screams, widened their eyes as they beheld the unimaginable and terrifying scene.
“What… what is that?” Alisa’s voice came from beside Fang Li, faint yet unbelievably piercing through the heavy sound waves, clearly reaching Fang Li’s ears.
Fang Li could hear the trembling in Alisa’s voice.
It was only natural as compared to Vajra, the immensely colossal figure before them was undoubtedly synonymous with destruction.
Compared to that being, the Vajra was nothing more than a docile kitten.
If there truly were deities in this world, anyone who witnessed the scene before them would think so.
“That is… ‘God’…”
Indeed.
That was a god.
The aggregation of Oracle Cells was given the name ‘God,’ and the immense and colossal figure before them was undeniably a decisive factor in naming them as such.
Understanding this, Fang Li had no trouble guessing what that raging colossal figure was.
“Aphrodite…”
Ranked among the most terrifying Aragami of the Deusphage Species on Earth.
Now, the instigator of the turmoil within the entire Russian Branch was revealing its Divine Power in a distant direction.
The reason behind this could also be easily guessed.
“So that’s how it is…” Fang Li stared intently at the colossal figure that was causing chaos. “Has the First Unit already made contact with Aphrodite?”
In other words, Amamiya Rindou, Tachibana Sakuya, and Soma were already engaged in battle with Aphrodite.
This had been decided during the operational meeting.
Alisa was also aware of this. However, Alisa had previously been unaware of what fighting Aphrodite truly entailed.
Now, Alisa understood.
Gazing at the cataclysmic scene in the far distance, Alisa whispered. “How can we defeat such a monster?”
It was a natural question. After all, Aphrodite had only wreaked havoc, and its aftermath had reached Fang Li and Alisa, who were so far away. The power of Aphrodite was so terrible that there was no need to even think about it.
Faced with such a monster, how could three mere God Eaters defeat it?
Even Fang Li couldn’t help but doubt whether the three members of the First Unit had the means to defeat Aphrodite.
Although in the original work, Amamiya Rindou successfully subjugated Ouroboros, an Aragami belonging to the same Deusphage Species as Aphrodite, it didn’t mean that Aragami of the same type would have the same power.
Just like humans, there were weak ones and experts, and among God Eaters, there was also a distinction between strong and weak. Even among Aragami, there were clear disparities between their powers.
The Oracle Cells had the ability to prey on and absorb the characteristics of what they devoured, gaining the same abilities as the prey.
Naturally, Aragami that devoured more would be stronger than those that devoured less.
Perhaps Aphrodite was even more powerful than Ouroboros, which was also a Deusphage Species. There was no telling about the difference between their strength.
Not to mention, even if Amamiya Rindou could subjugate the Deusphage Species, that would only happen a year later.
At this moment, it was naturally impossible for Amamiya Rindou to be stronger than his future self. In other words, at this moment, the three God Eaters of the First Unit were wandering on the edge of life.
They could die at any moment.
“BOOM—rumble…”
The shaking of the ground gradually subsided.
The piercing screeches in the air also weakened.
However, it wasn’t because Aphrodite had stopped its rampage. Instead, it seemed like the monster was pursuing its attackers and slowly moving in another direction.
Not long after, the earthquakes ceased, and the soundwaves disappeared as well.
Fang Li and Alisa watched the colossal figure gradually move away, both falling into silence and an atmosphere of silence replaced the previous roar, permeating the entire wilderness.
Fang Li and Alisa remained silent for a long time, without uttering a word or showing any reaction.
It wasn’t until a long time later that Alisa finally lowered her head and said a line. “Aren’t you going?”
Fang Li didn’t answer. He remained silent for a while before he sighed and said, “Do you think I can be a match for that monster?”
“But your companions are the ones responsible for subjugating it, right?” Alisa turned her head and finally faced Fang Li, saying, “After witnessing what just happened, I don’t believe that three God-Eaters alone can subjugate such a monster.”
Her words implied that the three members of the First Unit were facing a deadly threat and might even have already died.
In such a situation, Alisa said, “If you go now, perhaps you can still save them.”
After her words fell, silence once again enveloped the surroundings.
Fang Li could only look at the gigantic figure that was gradually moving away, his thoughts racing.
Although this incident was not mentioned in the original work, since the events a year later had not yet started, it proved that Amamiya Rindou, Tachibana Sakuya, and Soma would not die here.
Therefore, Fang Li was not worried that the members of the First Unit would die. Of course, because Fang Li intervened in this situation, there was a possibility of the butterfly effect taking place.
However, what concerned Fang Li more was whether the members of the First Unit were also being targeted by the Captain of the Russian Branch.
If they were then once the members of the First Unit really died on the battlefield, Fang Li would truly be left without any support.
At that time, forget about completing the Side Quest, Fang Li might continue to be targeted by the Captain.
“It seems like it’s really necessary for me to go and take a look.” Fang Li turned his head and looked at Alisa, saying, “What are you going to do?”
Alisa’s expression started to change.
After a while, Alisa made up her mind.
