Chapter 235

Starry Sky Behemoth

“The sea monsters are advancing relentlessly, led by this mysterious behemoth. We can't stop them! Everyone, tell me, what should we do?” The dark-skinned president anxiously looked at the others in the conference hall. Everyone's expression was grim. The dark-skinned president said anxiously, “The death toll has already reached 210,800. That's over 210,000 casualty notifications!” As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. Everyone's heart felt heavy. After all, those who died were lives! Luo Feng stared at the mysterious behemoth frozen in the video on the screen. This mysterious behemoth was currently devouring and killing citizens of America. Although he felt a pang of sympathy, his emotions weren't overly strong. Instead, there was a heavy sense of oppression! Today, it was the citizens of America who died. What about tomorrow? If his own Huaxia compatriots were devoured by the tens of thousands, dying in droves... What kind of scene would that be! “Absolutely not!” Luo Feng clenched his fists. “Where did this mysterious behemoth come from? We've never seen anything like it before!” “Four hooves, yet it also has wings, and scaled wings at that!” “How could it swallow a war base in one gulp?” “What kind of monster is it?” Low murmurs filled the conference hall. The leaders, speakers, and powerful council members of various nations all had unconcealed anxiety on their faces. Faced with this suddenly appearing, mysterious, and terrifying monster, everyone was somewhat flustered. Even Hong and Lei Shen wore solemn expressions; they both knew... A creature that could have two Beast Emperors as subordinates, and whose scales couldn't even be scratched by the highest-powered laser cannon. The strength of this mysterious monster far surpassed theirs! “I know!” “I know.” Suddenly, a loud English voice rang out, and Luo Feng's ears automatically heard the virtual space's Chinese translation. “Know what?” Luo Feng turned his head to look, and everyone in the conference hall turned to look. They saw a bald, white-haired Caucasian elder repeatedly shouting. Seeing everyone looking at him, the bald elder quickly said, “My name is Kelalunsi, from the HR Alliance, responsible for ancient civilization ruins.” “What do you know?” Hong, dressed in black, stared at him. Everyone in the conference hall stared at him. The bald Caucasian elder bowed slightly before straightening up: “I presume most of you, Speakers and Council Members, already know... reaching the Council Member level is actually just stepping into the First Tier of the Planetary level.” Most of the council members remained calm. However, some national leaders and the dozens of Wargods attending the meeting were surprised. “Silence,” Hong said in a low voice. A profound silence fell. The bald elder Kelalunsi continued, “According to some records from ancient civilization ruins, the Planetary level is divided into nine tiers. Above that, there's the Stellar level. And above that, the Cosmic level! Only one Cosmic-level powerhouse is born among countless planets. However, in the vast cosmos, there are some terrifying and unique behemoths—Starry Sky Behemoths!” “Hmm?” Hong, Lei Shen, and the others were somewhat surprised, clearly unaware of the information about Starry Sky Behemoths. “Starry Sky Behemoths are extremely rare. Any Starry Sky Behemoth, once fully grown, can reach the Cosmic level! They can easily destroy a planet.” Kelalunsi's eyes gleamed as he pointed at the mysterious behemoth frozen on the screen. “This mysterious behemoth should be a... Devouring-type Behemoth among the Starry Sky Behemoths!” “Devouring-types are a very powerful category among Starry Sky Behemoths.” “Being able to swallow a war base, this mysterious behemoth possesses a unique devouring ability. In the cosmos, only Starry Sky Behemoths should have such terrifying monsters. Therefore, it must be a Devouring-type Behemoth among the Starry Sky Behemoths!” Kelalunsi stated with certainty. The conference hall was silent for a few seconds, then erupted into an uproar. “What is the Cosmic level?” “What are Stellar and Cosmic levels?” “Starry Sky Behemoths?” “A Cosmic-level powerhouse born among countless planets? Does that mean there are other planets with intelligent life?” The conference hall was incredibly noisy. Clearly, the information the elder shared was incredibly shocking. In fact, due to the excavation of many ancient civilization ruins, many forces on Earth already knew some basic information about the cosmos! For example, Hong and Lei Shen were very familiar with the Moyun Vine data, and some countries even knew about Muya Jing. Hong and Lei Shen felt a sense of crisis and wanted to strive to reach the Stellar level! Clearly, the high-ranking humans on Earth were not completely ignorant. It was just that... This information was too shocking, so it hadn't been made public! Generally, only after becoming a powerful council member and joining the upper echelons of a nation would one gain access to these secrets. But clearly, many people in the conference hall today were unaware of these matters. “Silence,” Hong spoke. The conference hall immediately fell silent, and all the powerhouses worldwide looked at Hong. “He was right just now,” Hong said in a low voice. “Becoming a Council Member is actually just the First Tier of the Planetary level! And the Planetary level is divided into nine tiers! Above the Planetary level, there is indeed the Stellar level! And above the Stellar level, there is indeed the Cosmic level.” “The Cosmic level is extremely powerful, strong enough to easily destroy Earth!” “I don't want to say more about other things.” Hong's voice grew colder. “All I know is that since this mysterious monster is a Starry Sky Behemoth, this disaster will be very difficult to resolve. We must unite and find a way to overcome this challenge. Kelalunsi, send all the information you have on Starry Sky Behemoths.” Kelalunsi paused, then looked at Yisaduona, the HR Alliance Speaker beside him. Yisaduona nodded slightly. “Understood,” Kelalunsi nodded. “Alright, can you tell me roughly how strong this Starry Sky Behemoth is? Is it Cosmic level?” Hong asked solemnly. If it were a Cosmic-level existence! Then there would be no need to resist, as resistance would be futile. They might as well just arrange escape plans and human race preservation plans. “No, it can't be Cosmic level.” The bald elder shook his head repeatedly. “According to the information I have, Cosmic-level Starry Sky Behemoths are at least several thousand meters long, some even more exaggerated, over ten thousand meters in length. This Devouring Beast is only 180 meters! I estimate it's Planetary level Eighth or Ninth Tier, or perhaps Stellar level.” Hong and Lei Shen exchanged glances. At this level, humanity might still be able to resist! ... Luo Feng stared at the mysterious behemoth on the screen. It was actually easy to guess. Beast Emperor monsters were roughly Planetary level Sixth Tier. Since this mysterious behemoth was much stronger than a Beast Emperor, it was very likely Planetary level Eighth or Ninth Tier. Perhaps even Stellar level! “If it's Stellar level, then we're in trouble,” Luo Feng frowned deeply. “Everyone, please be seated.” Mohanderson, the Third Speaker, called out from above, “Now let's all brainstorm how to deal with this... let's temporarily call it the Devouring Beast! If we don't resolve this and kill it, more and more people will die.” In the conference hall. Everyone sat down and began to discuss. It was called a discussion—but in reality, humanity had very few effective measures! The strongest single-target offensive weapon of the past—the laser cannon—even its highest-powered shot couldn't leave a scratch on the Devouring Beast's scales. So, what other methods did humanity have? Only one remained! Nuclear bombs! Nuclear bombs indeed possessed immense power, but their destructive force was truly significant only if the target was at the very center of the blast! Moreover, the large amount of nuclear radiation generated after using nuclear bombs could easily cause monsters to mutate. Therefore, under normal circumstances, humanity would not use nuclear weapons. It would be more harm than good. But this time... there was no choice. Humanity had no powerful trump cards left. “Use nuclear weapons?” “What yield? Fifty megatons? Or higher?” “Are we sure?” The world's top leaders discussed anxiously. “Speed!” “At the beginning of the video, what was the speed of that mysterious behemoth as it flew from the water surface into the air?” Someone immediately shouted. The data quickly appeared. “The Devouring Beast's first appearance showed a flight speed of 13,082 meters per second! And in subsequent satellite tracking records, there was an even faster instance, reaching 14,899 meters per second!” The voice of an American staff member, transmitted through the network, echoed in the virtual space conference hall. “That fast?” Hong and Lei Shen's expressions changed drastically. Their own speeds were far from reaching this level. Luo Feng's expression was also grim. He was currently a Planetary level Third Tier mental-force user. Even with the Duntiansuo, his flight speed barely exceeded 5,000 meters per second! And that was as a mental-force user, relying on the Duntiansuo! Luo Feng estimated... that in aerial flight, Lei Shen, as a warrior, probably wasn't even as fast as him. Yet, the gap between himself and the Devouring Beast was still so immense. “Babata, Babata,” Luo Feng called out repeatedly in his mind. “What do you want? I was sleeping!” Babata communicated with Luo Feng telepathically. In the virtual space, AI could enter; after all, it was created by AI. And Babata, in terms of AI sophistication, was far, far superior to the AI that established the War God Palace! So, although it entered silently, the War God Palace's AI system didn't detect it in the slightest. “Tell me, what exactly is that monster on the screen, and is there any way to kill it?” Luo Feng quickly asked. Now he could only ask Babata for help. Babata's knowledge was far more extensive than that of Earth's humans. “Oh? Let me, the demonic Babata, take a look!” Babata said somewhat smugly. Luo Feng waited quietly. “Heavens!!!” Babata exclaimed in shock. “What the hell, where did you get this video? How could you obtain this footage?” “What video? It's from Earth. This mysterious behemoth is currently rampaging and killing on Earth.” Luo Feng quickly replied. “On Earth?” “You mean, you mean the ‘Golden Horned Behemoth’ has appeared on Earth?” Babata simply couldn't believe it. “Yes! It's currently in inland North America,” Luo Feng said. “This, this, how is this possible? In his master's sixty million years of life, he traveled through countless galaxies and only encountered three Starry Sky Behemoths, and none of them were of such high bloodline!” Babata couldn't believe it. “A Golden Horned Behemoth actually appeared on your Earth!” Luo Feng was a little displeased: “Babata, explain yourself clearly!” “Last time, I told you!” “The ‘Starry Sky Behemoths’ in the cosmos are incredibly powerful, and their many bloodlines are divided into three tiers. The strongest among them, when fully grown and at their peak, are ‘Realm Lords’! This is the strongest bloodline in the cosmos. I've introduced the ‘Blaze Star Behemoth’ that grows by devouring stars.” “And the one you're seeing now is the ‘Golden Horned Behemoth,’ also at the pinnacle among Starry Sky Behemoths. It's even more ferocious than the Blaze Star Behemoth! And more renowned!” “Once it's fully grown, it will be a Realm Lord level!” “Both the ‘Golden Horned Behemoth’ and the ‘Blaze Star Behemoth’ belong to the Devouring-type among Starry Sky Behemoths. However, the Blaze Star Behemoth is fire-attributed, while the Golden Horned Behemoth is metal-attributed! Both are among the absolute peak, even stronger than humanity's strongest bloodlines! The Golden Horned Behemoth is extremely ferocious and tyrannical, with incredibly powerful attacks!” Babata lamented, “It's over. With it appearing on Earth, your Earth is finished. There's no hope. You're doomed.”
