"Are you asking me about the meaning?"
Wu Liang turned around to look at his surroundings, the Nightmare Mask on his face seemed to have a life of its own, observing every person on the beach, capturing all kinds of expressions from these ordinary people and even the few Awakened present.
Finally, he grinned and said, "The meaning of this mission is to screw your head off and use it as a night jug later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nightmare Mask completely merged into Wu Liang's body, and he entered the Spiritual Body state directly.
Swoosh—
In an instant, his immense Spiritual Body transformed to a height of three to four stories tall at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a massive amount of mist in the air rapidly swirled towards it like a storm.
In no time, what appeared before everyone was a giant clad in gray-white armor, resembling Suzaku from Naruto.
With a raised hand, he picked up the Mist Giant Sword that was stuck in the ground, standing firm against the fine sand fortress. At this moment, everyone's mind was blown.
"Damn... what's this, a Gundam?"
"Supernatural aura, it's filled with supernatural aura! Is this a Fierce Ghost?!"
"Humanity is doomed..."
The image of a Fierce Dragon Ghost in Chengyang City, once showcased on TV, had shocked people profoundly, and its impact was still circulating online even today.
Now seeing another supernatural calamity manifesting as a colossal humanoid creature, how could the public remain calm?
For a moment, both those online and people near the beach couldn't help but shiver their teeth.
"Turn off your phones! Please evacuate immediately!"
Suddenly, a formidable armed helicopter flew over, and a person in combat gear jumped down, shouting at the surrounding crowd to turn off their recording devices and leave immediately.
However, not far away, there was still a man with a camera on his shoulder raising his press card to his chest, determined to document this rare battle, even if the price he paid might be his life, he couldn't let his conviction falter.
Yet, the combat personnel still stopped him coldly.
They were the official combat personnel from the Shenhu City division.
Due to the sudden incident, the Awakened hadn't yet arrived at the scene, hence these personnel returning to the base were tasked to evacuate the public from the beach.
"Control the scene! Encircle these two monsters! Be cautious of supernatural blockage, do not disperse!" The commander on the helicopter shouted loudly.
However, before they could take any further action, the Mist Giant that had appeared earlier swung its giant sword with overwhelming momentum.
Immediately, a strong wind swept across the entire beach, and many of the frailer individuals couldn't even stand erect!
"Slash!"
Accompanied by Wu Liang's icy voice, the giant sword slashed towards the [Pioneer] at the top of the fine sand fortress.
The seemingly invincible fine sand could not withstand the Mist Sword enveloped in strong spiritual power. In just a moment, the giant sword reached the top of [Pioneer's] head.
But he just stared firmly into the eyes of the giant Wu Liang had transformed into, as a painting depicting beautiful landscapes flowed out from the brocade pouch at his waist.
In the moment his head was about to be severed, the landscape painting swiftly enveloped the [Pioneer].
The giant sword slashed into the stony surface behind the fine sand fortress, slicing through what was known as a great spectacle on the beach as easily as cutting tofu!
"Kid... no, should I call you Monkey, or Shadow? Or Reporter? Or by your real name Wu Liang?" [Pioneer's] voice emerged from the painting.
The next moment, he appeared again beneath the Mist Giant, saying somewhat meaningfully, "In a sense, you are actually more suited than us to lead the [Promised Land] in forging a future path."
"I thought you would at least hesitate amidst the questioning, but you didn't, not even for a second. Your sword remains sharp, your momentum is still climbing, your father and mother really have a good son, your temperament is much stronger than mine was back then," [Pioneer] sighed with some emotion.
No one knew which 'back then' he was referring to.
Perhaps it was the self in another world destroyed by the supernatural, having witnessed how feeble human strength was; or perhaps when he rushed for success in establishing the [Promised Land] and got eliminated by the officials.
However, to [Pioneer's] words, Wu Liang merely felt he was lamenting without cause.
Because the real fight was only beginning now!
This old coot was still trying to manipulate him!
Wu Liang noticed his spiritual power quietly spreading over the entire beach.
If he truly managed to cover it, in just a few seconds, everyone here besides himself would become [Pioneer]'s consciousness projections.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do? Trying to mess with my mind? You overestimate yourself!"
With Wu Liang's cold snort, a strange eerie wind swept across the beach, making everyone's clothes flutter, most of them unable to even open their eyes.
But after the eerie wind blew through, everyone felt more comfortable as if something deeply rooted within their hearts had been swept away.
The [Pioneer's] spiritual power that pervaded the surrounding beach was completely dispelled by Wu Liang.
"Hey! The guy over there with the fly-headgear, just evacuate the public, let the reporters shoot if they want to, after all, someone has to capture what the truth is through the lens," Wu Liang turned and said.
[Pioneer] intended for his image to be labeled as a supernatural calamity in the face of the camera, so let them claim that!
Wu Liang would rip apart his false mask along with the filth of the [Promised Land] right before the cameras! So those discussing freely online would realize what's truly happening now!
This is the era of supernatural resurgence! This is the era where the boundary between life and death is blurred to the extreme!
Wu Liang doesn't need the so-called popular consensus, nor does he need to meet the standards of a savior in people's hearts!
Especially after the battle of City Destruction in Chengyang where the netizens exalted the official hero image on a pedestal, he doesn't need to intentionally conform to that perception!
He only needs to adhere to his own principles!
The commander on the helicopter, wearing a gas mask, hesitated for a moment, looking uncertainly at the Mist Giant, the echo of [Pioneer]'s words — Monkey! Shadow! Reporter! — still reverberating in his ear.
Among these two supernatural calamities, one of them turns out to be the official hero from the City Destruction battle in Chengyang City!?
"Boss, what do we do? Really follow his command? But his identity hasn't been confirmed yet!" the pilot asked, somewhat uncertain.
"Damn it! You ask me, who do I ask..."
Before the commander finished cursing, the earpiece suddenly crackled with the voices of others entering the channel, his expression immediately turning serious.
After nodding several times in agreement, saying "guarantee to complete the task," he issued the orders to his team—
"Everyone, follow the direction given by comrade Monkey just now! Our city's Official Awakened are about to arrive at the battlefield! Quickly evacuate the other civilians!"
Saying so, he turned his gaze towards the Mist Giant.
This time, within his eyes, besides the previous fear, there was more trust and encouragement.
The communication device had confirmed the identity of this "supernatural calamity," as indeed a member of the official Zodiac Department, and the previous arrest warrant against him had been revoked.
Now, he is our comrade!
We choose to trust him!
