AWB Chapter 106 Giant Monster Attack
Chapter 106 Giant Monster Attack
The following day, the bustling CBD of Chengdu was no longer as vibrant as before.
In fact, Chengdu does not have an urban district called CBD. This abstract concept of a district covers the entire core area of the city and can be called the heart of Chengdu.
Yet this once bustling core area is unusually quiet today.
There were no vehicles on the road, every towering office building was empty, and even the once bustling commercial district was deserted.
Today, the entire city of Chengdu is on holiday.
Hospitals are an exception.
Office workers who usually clock in on time received the message early and are now lying in bed or on the sofa at home watching TV.
Students gathered at school or at home to enjoy this unexpected holiday.
And the instigator of all this—Su Tianqing—was sitting obediently in a room in the girls' dormitory of Rongcheng Medical College, taking small bites of a bowl of hot white fungus soup.
"Aww...chew chew chew..."
"Sunny, is the white fungus soup delicious?"
"Mmm-hmm!" Fox gave a thumbs up and wagged its tail happily.
Roommate A beamed with the satisfaction of a proud mother, having successfully fed the little fox.
Not to be outdone, roommate B pulled out two large, plastic-sealed chicken drumsticks from the drawer.
My roommate C pulled out a big bag of potato chips and a big bag of potato strips.
Roommate A immediately started scooping a new bowl of white fungus soup from the small pot, but was stopped on the spot by roommates B and C.
You're feeding me hot food in this freezing weather! That's foul!
Su Tianqing didn't notice the feeding contest between the CP leaders behind her; she was just curious why there were so many snacks on Xiaoyu's table.
It's 8:30 in the morning.
The golden fox received a message from the school early in the morning, instructing all students to gather on campus and be ready to evacuate at any time.
So I went to Nan Jiayu's dormitory early in the morning and happened to catch a pink-haired rabbit girl pacing around in a corner at the bottom of the dormitory building, not knowing where to go.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the villainous trio quietly assembled in girls' dormitory 403.
"I never expected to get an extra day off today."
After finishing her white fungus soup, munching on a chicken leg, and chewing on potato chips, Su Tianqing sighed.
"Yeah, I feel really tired in class lately, so it's nice to have a chance to relax," Nan Jiayu nodded in response.
Socially awkward Xia Taotao huddled in a corner, too afraid to say a word.
With roommates A, B, and C also present, everyone's attention was focused on Nan Jiayu's laptop screen.
[A giant, bizarre figure attacks Chengdu's CBD! Live coverage!]
Almost everyone in Chengdu was watching the live broadcast.
The Hero Association has prepared drones to track and film the entire process, and countless heroes are all in place, ready to expand the refuge area at any time.
Above the evacuated CBD area, a terrifying rift seemed to tear the sky apart, revealing the shimmering light of stars and the faint outline of a gigantic, terrifying figure moving through the rift.
"Astral Rift!"
Upon seeing the scene in the video, Xia Taotao, who knew her stuff, immediately exclaimed in surprise, drawing the attention of everyone in the dormitory.
Sensing the sudden concentration of gazes, the socially awkward rabbit immediately shrank into a ball, its rabbit ears drooping to the top of its head.
"Does Tao Tao know about that?" Su Tianqing asked in surprise.
Even I only knew the true appearance of the Astral Rift from the knowledge in the secret book, I didn't expect that Xia Taotao, a magical girl fanatic, would even know this.
"I'd only heard about it by chance before..."
The rabbit girl said timidly, and then gave everyone a stammering explanation.
While Xia Taotao was giving her commentary, Nan Jiayu's azure cat eyes were fixed on the astral rift on the live stream screen.
"Was this really Xin Yuehu's work?" Nan Jiayu wondered.
Because the crack is just too big!
What kind of magical power could maintain such a huge rift? Not to mention that a terrifying, gigantic monster is hidden inside the rift.
If that little fox could really accomplish such a feat, then she would undoubtedly be the most powerful magical girl in history, bar none.
"Look! It's a hyacinth!"
Suddenly, roommate B pointed at the screen and shouted.
In the corner of the screen, a sky-blue magical trail streaked across the sky, with two equally striking trails beside it.
The Hyacinth Team has arrived at the scene!
"I knew they would come!"
"Well done, magical girls! Defeat that guy!"
The live stream chat was flooded with comments cheering for the magical girl's arrival.
Su Tianqing also contributed a comment.
Aside from the golden-haired fox, the two villains didn't show much emotional fluctuation; instead, they were somewhat worried.
...With the strength of the three of them, can they really deal with a monster of this size?
But then, both cats and rabbits recalled the villain's operational philosophy that Xin Yuehu had mentioned:
"Fun! Fun! More fun!"
"Don't you cats and bunnies also love magical girls? Don't you feel incredibly happy when you see their brave and fearless figures?!"
"Actually, I'd much rather go up and fight them myself." That's what Nan Jiayu was about to say.
However, considering that Kokoro's attitude towards magical girls is very subtle, and that she can also gain a lot of fun by following Kokoro, Nan Jiayu did not raise any objections.
As for that socially awkward rabbit...
"If I play with Fox, I'll not only get a real tail pillow, but I'll also see the magical girls in their most disheveled state, something no one has ever seen before," Xia Tao Tao thought.
As long as Lord Fox tells me to go east, Rabbit will absolutely not go north!
The rabbit girl silently made up her mind to follow the golden fox from now on.
"What is that?"
Someone said this, and everyone in the dormitory focused their attention on the Astral Rift.
From the shimmering, iridescent rift that tore through the sky, countless translucent jellyfish tentacles emerged!
Feeling the magical connection established with the Astral Jellyfish, Su Tianqing immediately began to chuckle mischievously.
Come on, magical girls!
Show your starlight and crush my giant monster!
……
at the same time.
On the rooftop of an office building in the CBD, magical girls stood at the top floor, gazing at the sky.
The three of them gripped their wands tightly.
"I heard that an astral rift also appeared in Rongcheng more than ten years ago. At that time, it was Senior Chixue and the others who stopped that strange creature," Nightingale said nervously, swallowing hard.
"But this guy in front of us... this guy..."
"It's much bigger than the astral jellyfish back then..." the iris murmured to herself.
"That thing...it's huge...!"
Even Bai Ling trembled and muttered to herself.
Everyone stared at the giant jellyfish that was gradually descending from the sky, and everyone, including Bai Ling, was shocked.
Only a monster with exceptionally great magical power has the ability to tear open the barrier between the astral plane and the mortal world, creating a rift called the Astral Rift, as told to him by his Stargazer predecessor.
But no one could have imagined that this thing could tear open such a huge hole!
This is the most exaggerated rift I've ever seen since I came here as a stargazer!
The astral jellyfish fully emerged from the crack.
The translucent canopy reflected the starlight, and its tendrils, seemingly suspended over two thousand meters in the air, gently swayed as they descended to the ground.
Just by floating there, it brought an unprecedented sense of terrifying oppression!
"Should we... go and fight it...?" Nightingale asked tentatively.
No one answered, and none of the three felt confident.
"But we cannot back down!"
Hyacinth spoke, her wand transforming into a greatsword, her gaze fixed on the giant jellyfish in the sky, encouraging her companions.
"Only we can stop this behemoth until reinforcements arrive!"
Upon hearing this, both the iris and the nightingale were taken aback, their worried expressions vanished, and they nodded firmly.
"...That's right! We must hold on!"
Nightingale's eyes hardened, and although she was still somewhat afraid, she immediately prepared all her support magic.
Iris flowers also summoned magic cannons nearby, ready to fire.
"I'm going!"
"Irises! Nightingales! Cover me!"
The sky-blue magical girl soared into the sky, leaving a comet-like trail of magical energy, under the cover of several magical cannon shots—
The jellyfish from the Morning Star Realm launch an attack!
