The torrential rain poured down, as if a large hole had been ripped in the sky, unleashing a deluge upon the world.

The 40-meter Giant Beast stood right at the heart of the city, beneath the overpass, with the rain like a black curtain enveloping the city. The neon signs on the twelfth floor flickered beneath its shoulder armor.

This Giant Beast, resembling a massive lizard with reverse-jointed limbs, had its claws embedded in the asphalt, with cracks spreading like a spider web through the puddles.

Below, a traffic accident erupted on the highway, and nearby residents stared in shock at this horrifying scene, before terrified screams pierced the night sky.

The Giant Beast, a 40-meter class Giant Beast, brazenly appeared at the very center of the Imperial Capital, right on this critical main artery.

If someone had told them "A Giant Beast suddenly appeared in the center of the Imperial Capital" before today, they would've sneered and wished to slap whoever said it, saying:

"Are you awake? How could a Giant Beast possibly appear in the Imperial Capital?"

Yet now, this Giant Beast had so blatantly emerged, its claws tearing apart the overpass and causing a chain of car accidents and explosions.

Xue Dili immediately turned around and sped down the emergency lane in reverse.

The pedal floored, his speed reaching nearly 200 mph by Blue Star standards, as the luxury car displayed its astounding grip, racing like a phantom on the rain-soaked overpass.

The three little ones in the car hugged their heads in terror, trembling all over. Each step of the Giant Beast seemed to make the earth quake, sending rubble flying, as the world seemed to transform into Hell at this moment, with only the sound of the storm pouring over the car roof.

To the people of this world, the Giant Beast was like the Death God.

Like Ronald and Cloud Star, whose hometowns were destroyed by Giant Beasts and subsequently reached the Imperial Capital, at this moment, upon seeing the Giant Beast, they were stunned, their teeth involuntarily chattering.

Even Wu Li, who had never faced a Giant Beast directly, when seeing the over 40-meter tall monster charging towards her like a runaway dump truck, was so overwhelmed by the shock and oppression that she closed her eyes in terror.

In the car, the song "Only Want to Protect You" played at its peak.

In the Consciousness Space, the colossal silhouette of the zero-numbered Super Beast was like madness itself, with its scarlet eyes exuding unparalleled violence, its heaving breath erupting like a nuclear reactor.

Simultaneously, for some reason, heat began to emanate from Xue Dili's heart, searing like magma.

Xue Dili, his face ashen, carefully maneuvered the car. Racing on slippery roads in reverse at 200 mph was the limit of the luxury car, yet from the rearview mirror, he could see that the Giant Beast showed no signs of stopping, pursuing him relentlessly.

"Ronald, can you drive?" Xue Dili's shout resounded.

The downtrodden youth in the passenger seat stared intently at his teacher, as the vehicles in this world were controlled similarly to a joystick, allowing the passenger seat to take over driving at any moment.

Indeed, he could drive, as a son-in-law to a high-ranking official's family, he had at least this basic capability.

But that only extended to relaxed driving on normal roads, not racing against death on a rain-slicked overpass at 200 mph.

"Don't be afraid. Just keep going forward on the emergency lane. Their lives are in your hands now!" Xue Dili gripped his hand, passing the steering handle to him.

Ronald obediently widened his eyes; never before had someone entrusted him with such belief in such a critical situation.

Even he didn't believe in his own ability.

The torrential rain dominated the world, melding the darkened sky and trembling earth with a million silver needles, concrete overpasses like floating islands, the crash of raindrops on the road forming substantive echoes in the enclosed space, each droplet's trajectory erased by denser successors.

He felt as if in this cleaved dimension, even darkness was compressed into a peripheral cage of rain, suffocating him.

"Teacher, what about you?" the boy in the back seat asked fearfully.

"The teacher is going to stop the Giant Beast," Xue Dili's words echoed through the rain like a final farewell.

The luxury car's engine roared like a monster, the raindrops forming a curtain of water on the car.

Not far off, the Giant Beast gathered water in its jaws, and in the next moment, a high-speed stream of water spewed from its mouth, slicing the overpass like a long sword, targeting the luxury car.

"Holy Shield Technique!" Xue Dili immediately chanted.

This was a Technique taught by an old Undead, one of the most commonly used Techniques by Holy Knights during battles against the Witch Demon King.

The Holy Light blocked the water stream, the Holy Shield shattered, but the stream lost its impact.

The car windows wide open, the storm and gale rushed in with full force.

Ronald had never imagined a man could confront a Giant Beast with such poise and composure, so impressive and dashing.

Perhaps only now could they understand the significance of being addressed as "Monarch".

"This car is yours, and our lives are in your hands. Can you do it?" The steering handle was completely handed over to the downtrodden youth.

He glanced at his teacher, who didn't even give him a chance to respond, flipping out of the car window and onto the roof.

Leaving only the wide open car window drenched by torrential rain.

At this moment, with everyone's lives depending on him, perhaps only now did the downtrodden youth truly feel the weight of trust and responsibility.

He frantically steadied the steering handle in his hands, racing madly. He had no time to close the car window, the luxury car racing through the rain, with the song "Only Want to Protect You" playing in its latter part within.
