Chapter 011 Whether things are chaotic under Tokyo Tower or not, Lin Fan has the final say.
Although there is no progress bar in front of us,
But clearly, Lin Fan could sense that as the disaster broke out, a progress bar was moving at a steady pace.
And as this progressed, the AKB48 Grand Theater went from being on the verge of collapse to a dance party venue.
The floor didn't crack; it just started to ripple, wave after wave.
Those fat otaku who were just moments ago so fanatical, practically willing to die for their goddess, are now indeed not far from their demise.
"Help! I don't want to die!"
"Goddess, save me!!"
A fat man tried to reach out and grab the ankle of a rice seedling.
If this had happened a few minutes ago, it would have been considered an offering of love.
But now, this is the devilish hand that drags others down with it.
"Get away! Don't touch me! You're filthy!"
The rice seedling screamed and stomped hard on the fat man's hand.
"Snap!"
Crisp and melodious. The finger bone shattered into pieces.
The fat man screamed and withdrew his hand, the light in his eyes instantly extinguished, replaced by despair and disbelief.
Lin Fan saw this scene clearly from the sky.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is your goddess."
Lin Fan floated in mid-air, his hands behind his head, and he even tried to cross his legs.
"A simp who fawns over his wife ends up with nothing. Bro, remember to download an anti-fraud app in your next life."
The steel beams inside the theater emitted a sickeningly twisting sound.
A cement block the size of a millstone, accompanied by a whistling sound, hurtled straight toward the center of the stage.
The target is rice seedlings.
"Hey, hey, hey! A little to the left! A little more to the left!"
Lin Fan gestured wildly in the air, attempting to perform micro-management.
"Oops, it's crooked!"
The cement block hit the rice seedlings about half a meter away. Although it didn't hit them, it still stirred up a cloud of dust and gravel, making the goddess look disheveled.
"Red Devils! Come out! Take me away! Take me away now!"
The rice seedlings panicked completely and screamed hysterically.
The phantom of the red-eyed giant behind her solidified again. This time, instead of holding a knife, it bent down and scooped up its master with its giant hand, protecting her in its palm.
"Get me out of here! Quickly!"
The rice seedlings, huddled in the giant's palm, shouted at the fans and staff blocking their way:
"Get out of the way! All of you get out of the way! Anyone who blocks the way will die!"
The red-eyed giant has no emotions; he is merely a puppet that obeys orders.
It strode forward and rushed straight toward the emergency exit.
Ordinary people along the way who didn't have time to dodge were either kicked away or trampled into mincemeat.
The chubby agent who had just been clinging to Daomiao's leg, crying and shouting, was now trembling as he tried to get up and catch up:
"My lord! Take me with you! Take me with you!"
The red-eyed giant didn't even glance at him before his massive foot slammed down.
The fat man only managed to utter half a syllable before his voice abruptly stopped.
The world is quiet now.
Lin Fan shook his head as he watched from the sky.
"That woman's heartless. But... you think you can run away?"
He focused his attention on sensing the progress of the disaster.
More than halfway through, and we're about to reach our peak.
Lin Fan's mind stirred.
The supporting column above the theater suddenly made a loud noise.
The already fragile structure finally gave way.
The entire ceiling, along with the floors above it, collapsed in that instant!
God, collapsed.
This is not an adjective; it's a physical collapse.
Thousands of tons of reinforced concrete, like a giant slap, slammed down on the swarm of flies below.
"No--!!"
The rice seedlings, looking at the darkness pressing down on them, let out a desperate scream.
The red-eyed giant had to stop and try to hold up the collapsing ceiling.
"Crunch—"
The sound of bones cracking echoed through the hall.
The red-eyed giant suddenly lowered his body, kneeling heavily on the ground and creating two deep craters.
Logically speaking, an S-rank summon shouldn't be this fragile, but unfortunately, Inamori is a newly awakened newbie who has a mana bar but doesn't know how to operate it.
The sudden turn of events terrified her so much that her brain went blank.
As for the other people in the theater?
That was truly a horrific sight.
The screams were instantly drowned out by the roar, and dust filled the entire space like a sandstorm, reducing visibility to zero in an instant.
"Cough cough... Damn it! Damn it!"
The rice seedlings, sheltered beneath the giant, weren't turned into mincemeat, but they were still shaken senseless, blood trickling from their mouths.
"Charge! We have to get out of here! As long as I live, I can get my revenge!"
Her eyes gleamed with resentment.
Her eyes were filled with resentment and malice; she was going to settle this score with the entire family of that dead Chinese man!
They need to dig up his body and make it into a specimen!
"Sigh, the difference is indeed too great. With my F-rank, even with disaster relief, it's like an ant trying to shake a tree!"
Lin Fan looked down with a helpless expression.
"This big guy is pretty sturdy, how come it didn't break?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the red-eyed giant's left arm again.
There, a broken steel bar was hanging down.
"Break!"
Lin Fan uttered a single word softly.
As if receiving a command, the steel bar suddenly loosened under the force of gravity and plunged straight down.
"Pfft!"
It pierced straight through the red-eyed giant's left shoulder.
Although the phantom felt no pain, the destruction of its energy structure caused it to sway, and the force supporting the ceiling instantly became unbalanced.
"Boom!"
Half of the ceiling collapsed.
It pinned down half of the red-eyed giant's body, and also pinned down one of the rice seedling's legs.
"Aaaaaah—!! My legs! My legs!!"
The piercing screams pierced through the layers of ruins, sending chills down one's spine.
But an S-class is still an S-class.
At this critical moment, the red-eyed giant unleashed its last potential, violently tearing off the rubble covering its body, even going so far as to rip off its own arm that had been pinned down, grabbing the rice seedling that had fainted from the pain, smashing through the side wall, and rushing out.
Lin Fan watched the departing figure, felt the depleted spiritual energy within his body, and felt a little regretful.
"Sigh, the blue bar is empty. Oh well, at least I got some interest from losing a leg."
Although he is in a state where he can guide disasters, his F-level spiritual power is too fragile. Just that one moment has already drained him dry.
At this point, the progress bar is full.
Lin Fan was no longer able to control this disaster. His perspective quickly rose, piercing through the ruins and soaring into the sky.
Below, within a radius of one kilometer, has been completely transformed into a living hell.
Not just theaters.
The surrounding streets, shops, and high-rise buildings were all engulfed in a frenzied shaking.
The earth's crust is roaring.
The asphalt road was easily broken like a biscuit, revealing the dark pipes and bottomless cracks underneath.
A speeding taxi, before it could react, was suddenly propelled into the air by the ground and then plunged headfirst into a large, cracked pit beside it.
The roadside utility poles, like drunken giants, leaned precariously, sparks crackling and flashing erratically, igniting the leaking gas pipes.
"Boom! Boom!"
Flames shot into the sky.
The once prosperous area was instantly transformed into a post-apocalyptic battlefield.
The most ironic thing about all of this is the screens of the phones that are live streaming.
Although the theater collapsed, the signal base station was not completely destroyed.
Some survivors who managed to escape were still clutching their phones tightly, the camera shaky enough to make anyone want to vomit.
"Help...help..."
"Mom...I want to go home..."
The scene was filled with ruins and rubble, and crowds of people crying out in despair.
In stark contrast are the bullet comments on major live streaming platforms in China.
Just minutes ago, everyone was feeling grief and indignation over Lin Fan's death, and some people had even started crowdfunding online to buy wreaths.
The art style suddenly changed.
[Holy crap! This is an 8.0 level?! That's like a nuclear bomb!]
[Awesome! That's so awesome! Where's that guy who was just criticizing us for living such a good life? Come out and show yourselves!]
Why are you leaving? You're probably playing cards with the King of Hell right now.
[Good day! Today is a good day! May all your wishes come true!]
[Hey upstairs, stop singing! I'm tapping my foot along. But this scene... is definitely entertaining.]
[Look! Isn't that a rice seedling? She was carried out by that red-eyed monster!]
The camera did indeed capture the image of rice seedlings.
However, she looked rather disheveled at that moment.
[Hahaha! Serves you right! Serves you right for being so arrogant! Serves you right for showing off!]
This is retribution! It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet!
[It's a pity he didn't die inside; S-rank characters are really tough.]
[Don't worry, look at the surrounding environment. This area within a kilometer radius is almost submerged. Whether she can survive is still unknown.]
Just as netizens were going on a rampage of comments.
The screen suddenly shook violently.
Immediately afterwards, the screen turned into a display of static.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
Almost all the live streams went black at the same time.
"What happened? Why is it dark?"
"I've gotten tanned too!"
"I can't watch it anymore!"
"Me too! Didn't you subscribe to a membership?"
Chinese netizens were completely baffled.
I was just getting to the climax, why was it cut off?
In fact, the reason is very simple.
As the tremors intensified, all communication base stations in the area finally succumbed to the strain and went out of service.
The cable broke, and the signal tower collapsed.
This area, spanning one kilometer, has been completely turned into an isolated island.
An isolated island filled with death, wailing, and ruins.
At the heart of it all, in the center of the now-ruined AKB48 theater stage.
The body, which should have been cold by now, was lying quietly among the rubble.
The surrounding stones seemed to be filled with awe for him, automatically forming a circle around him, and none of them hit him.
Lin Fan's consciousness drifted back into his body.
That sense of control from a God's-eye view has disappeared.
Instead, there was an indescribable...hunger?
No, it's not hunger.
It's a sense of fulfillment.
The deathly, resentful, and fearful emotions that permeated the surroundings were now like exquisite dishes, rushing wildly into his body.
The wound on my neck, nourished by the red light, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, he also vaguely sensed that the spiritual energy in his body was growing wildly!
"Is this... the correct way to activate the Calamity Body?"
Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes.
A fleeting, dark red light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He sat up, moved his newly reattached neck, and made a series of crisp "crackling" sounds.
Looking at the ruins he had created, Lin Fan couldn't help but smile.
"Everyone, this is just the beginning. Let's take it slow."
