Chapter 460: Chapter 279: Reinforcements, the Emergence of the Eternal Abyss Shark
The air pressure soared, and the wind surged with clouds, as if the ocean’s ruler had emerged from the depths of the deep sea, leaping forward to break the waves. In that moment, the whole world fell into silence.
Inside Hokkaido’s "New Leaf Village" prison, the four Catastrophe Level combatants immediately sensed something was amiss. They all pulled back, and then looked up at the colossal entity emerging under the massive sun disk.
Gu Qiye stared blankly at the 300-meter-long Eternal Abyss Shark, murmuring:
"What is... that?"
"The shark from the Terrarium?" Jack the Ripper clutched the stump of her left shoulder with her remaining hand, raising her eyes to gaze at Yaguba.
"Oh... our little shark has come to the rescue." The Bloodline clasped one hand on her hip, the corners of her mouth curving up.
You Ruirui remained silent, her snow-white hair dancing in the fierce incoming wind, her ice-blue pupils reflecting the massive battleship-like creature.
Suddenly, a huge opening unfurled in the clouds above. Light spilled from the gap, enveloping Yaguba.
It basked alone in the warm sunlight, yet cast a world-covering shadow upon the earth. The world instantaneously darkened as if some supreme being had alternated day and night, bringing the profound night from beyond the bulwark.
The shadow surged like a tsunami from the ground corner of the bulwark, covering the sky and land. In an instant, vast expanses of iron-gray architectural complexes were covered, and people’s figures were buried in an all-encompassing darkness.
By this time, Yaguba had fully revealed its true form, its dark blue scales enveloping its body, steam gushing from the gaps between the scales, and its metal-like jaw clenched tightly.
Its back was to the sunlight, and its ferocious and furious double pupils glared at the earth from the shadows. It then opened its abyss-like giant mouth, revealing rows of saw-like sharp teeth, as if intending to swallow everything in the world.
Gu Qiye and You Ruirui raised their heads high, and both were momentarily lost in thought.
Having not experienced the Terrarium battle, this was their first time facing such a massive creature in their lives. Their internal organs seemed to shiver in the rolling air pressure, causing a subtle nausea.
Regardless of whether the opponent was inflated, the visual impact alone was enough to leave one dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.
However, both were battle-hardened Superpower Users, and in just a moment of distraction, they both responded!
Gu Qiye no longer lingered in the fight and instead set out to take away the warden "Julius";
Meanwhile, You Ruirui skated backward while condensing the dust in the air, brewing a gigantic ice-forged meteorite. She actually intended to knock the giant shark from the sky!
But before they could act, a patch of deep blue light suddenly lit up in the darkness. It wasn’t Gu Qiye’s lightning, but the rhombus patterns on his and You Ruirui’s wrists—a mark left by Urushibara Ryuri.
In an instant, their figures vanished, traveling to the dense forest of the high mountains three kilometers away. The unconscious Julius was not as fortunate; he fell down, left behind on the ground.
At this moment in the sky, seeing the departure of Rainbow Wings, the giant 300-meter creature let out a long sigh of relief and skipped continuing its ostentatious display.
It quickly shrank its body to a length of three meters, reducing in size by over a hundredfold in an instant. The all-encompassing darkness vanished, and the people in the prison saw the light of day once more.
Riding on a black tide, Yaguba plummeted like a rocket.
Only then could one see that a white-haired, blue-eyed youth sat on its back.
The youth’s white hair fluttered in the wind as he squinted his eyes, leaning forward tightly against the shark’s back to avoid falling off.
The Bloodline deactivated the "Dragon Transformation" form. The scales disappeared, and the hint of crimson gold in her pupils dimmed.
She retracted her dragon wings and landed, while Yanmo Lin kneeled on the ground, eyes closed, inserting the tip of the Demon Blade into the earth.
At that moment, the "卍"-shaped hilt guard slowly closed, and the surging vengeful spirits converged inward, no longer eroding her body. Yanmo Lin let out a slight sigh of relief and opened her eyes.
Yaguba halted three meters above the ground, and Cezar rolled off the shark’s back and landed.
"Why are you here?" the Bloodline asked.
"Blac..." Cezar began to say, then quickly corrected himself, "No, someone sent us to help you." Speaking, he noticed the wound on Yanmo Lin’s left shoulder, initially shocked and then eyes brightened as if seeing a great business opportunity.
"Miss Ripper, your left hand!" He pointed at Yanmo Lin’s wound, from which blood had stained her school uniform red.
"It’s okay..." Yanmo Lin shook her head.
"Of course it’s not okay! The blood loss is serious! But it’s just a severed hand, I can completely help you restore it! But it’ll cost you ten thousand bucks."
Cezar enthusiastically marketed himself while summoning the Anecdote Atlas, crushing the generational-level Anecdote Fragment "Phoenix."
An orange light pattern flashed by, accompanied by a piercing screech resonating through the sky. A tawny-red giant bird descended from the sky, plummeting straight down, eventually halting above Yanmo Lin’s head.
Involuntarily, Yanmo Lin raised an eyebrow and lifted her blade defensively, the tip glinting with eerie blood-like light pointing at the Phoenix.
But at that moment, she suddenly recalled a scene witnessed within the Terrarium that day; as Cezar, in battle with Ruth, used the Phoenix’s healing fire to restore an arm corroded to the bone by the Loch Ness Monster, demonstrating that the Phoenix’s power was not solely for destruction.
