Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

This also means that these stage 4 gastrulators are not ordinary gastrulators that could have evolved; without exception, they are all experimental subjects.

Experiments made by children

Humans in this world torture children by any means necessary, both before and after disasters!

Damn it, not even human—no, worse than a demon! Ugh, disgusting, just fucking disgusting!!!

Just after Tsurugi had calmed and controlled the will of this Stage 4, he suddenly heard a system notification in his ear.

'A deeper surge of jealousy has been detected; you have gained the attention of 'Leviathan'!'

Tsurugi frowned slightly.

What does this mean? Why is Leviathan looking over here again? What did he do to attract its attention?

Forget it, forget it!

Tsurugi abandoned all unnecessary thoughts and immediately steered the Stage 4 vehicle toward the zodiac sign closest to it—Capricorn!

Yes, Tsugumi's tactics were quite simple—gather all the Gastrea he could, and then he gave those damned governments an ultimatum.

Hand over all the cursed children to him, or die!

Tiantong Civil Security Company

With a name and scope of service that are self-evident, the "Police" are a group of people in this world who are specifically responsible for dealing with Gastrea, a mercenary organization that exists between the official and unofficial sides.

Okay, all these settings and such are completely unimportant! All we need to know is that the owners here are the male and female protagonists of this light novel.

Today, three people have gathered here: Rentaro Satomi, with the standard appearance of a Japanese male protagonist, and Kisara Tendo, a beautiful high school girl with long black hair.

And a saint-like character with silver-white hair, who looks quite holy and beautiful, the leader of this country, the Holy Emperor.

It seems like a typical harem protagonist's enjoyable world with his harem of beautiful girls.

Let's set aside the nonsensical and complicated interpersonal relationships in the original work!

The Holy Emperor came to entrust the Tiantong Civil Security Company with a 'simple' task.

"Rentaro, I hope you can investigate the recent large-scale Gastrea migration."

The Holy Emperor looked at Rentaro Satomi with a troubled expression and made her plea.

“I know my request is unreasonable, but you are the only ones I can rely on right now.”

She stood up and bowed to the male and female protagonists.

"For the sake of the country's security, please do not refuse!"

Changing styles doesn't stop it from killing! : 145. Today I'm going to slay beasts and draw monsters!

Gastrea migration is indeed an unusual phenomenon that has been occurring all over the world recently.

Gastrea, which originally tended to live in stable environments and divided their territories like wild animals, have recently shown signs of large-scale gatherings and migrations.

Such a phenomenon is undoubtedly a very bad sign for humanity, which has barely managed to survive in this apocalypse.

The last time Gastrea rallied on a large scale was during the fifth phase of the Zodiac, which was named Taurus.

That massive Gastrea army dealt an extremely serious blow to the United States. If it hadn't been for the Initiators, ranked number one in IISO but whose information was entirely unknown, risking their lives to defeat it, the United States, and perhaps even the world, would have perished.

In fact, all zodiac zones possess the ability to summon Gastrea, but such a large-scale migration only raises the question of whether another zodiac zone capable of gathering all Gastrea has emerged.

The remaining humans are naturally very concerned about this, but even so, they have to face a rather cruel reality.

In modern human society, satellites have almost disappeared.

Because Sagittarius in the zodiac is a Phase 5 constellation capable of launching long-range electromagnetic orbital artillery, it shot down the vast majority of artificial satellites at the very beginning of the war.

Even the very few satellites that exist are incredibly precious.

These satellites are needed to maintain the very few communications among the survivors in the settlement, and there is simply no space for them to be used for spy satellites to investigate.

In short, the possibility of using satellites to explore the situation no longer exists, and people all over the world can only rely on human effort to explore the situation.

And in Japan, it should naturally be the same.

"Your Majesty, forgive my bluntness, but isn't it a bit too much to entrust such a matter to a private security company like ours...?"

Tendo Kisara advised him in the most tactful way possible.

"We apologize that our capabilities are limited."

"But I truly have no way to help," the Holy Emperor said softly, with a pitiful expression and a posture of deep concern for his country and its people.

"Besides you, I really have no other people available."

She was a holy emperor, but like the emperor her name referred to, she was purely a figurehead.

The Japan in this world currently consists of five regions: Tokyo, Sapporo, Sendai, Osaka, and Hakata. Even if the Holy Emperor were to speak of her own region, Tokyo, no one would listen.

It feels like they're already facing the apocalypse, and they're still putting up this virtual emperor? It's just a waste of time and energy.

But that's just how the world is—a world that takes absurdity to the extreme!

Seeing the Holy Emperor in such a vulnerable state, the chivalrous Rentaro Satomi immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, Your Majesty, we understand your difficulties, so I can take on this matter in my personal capacity..."

"Rentaro!" Tendo Kisara glared fiercely at Satomi Rentaro, but seeing that things had already come to this, what else could he say?

"You idiot!"

"Thank you so much, Miss Tendo, thank you so much, Rentaro-kun!" The Holy Emperor stood up and bowed deeply to them, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Rentaro Satomi.

Just as the atmosphere was gradually developing into a harem novel—

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle sizzle!!

Suddenly, the old-fashioned television in their room emitted static, and then a picture appeared on it.

This is the Urengoy Tundra in Siberia, once one of the hardest ice fields on the planet, untouched even during the Gastrea Wars.

And now, it is melting.

Evaporated by the heat emanating from over five hundred different, overlapping, mutually gnawing and resonating Gastrea!

At this moment, what appears on the screen is a scene that is enough to suffocate everyone.

Because here, there are countless Gastrea, an endless number that would terrify anyone who sees them.

This is the sea.

A true sea of ​​flesh and blood, composed of gastrulation from stage I to stage IV.

The horizon at the end of the world was writhing, and an endless wave of living organisms, composed of countless rolling and climbing Gastrea, overflowed like a filthy tide, filling every inch of space within sight.

Just how many Gastrea are there?!

No one knew the answer, nor did they care at the moment, because as the camera continued to pan upwards, everyone was drawn to even more terrifying images.

Standing in the center of the endless sea of ​​monsters are five distinct yet equally overwhelming beings.

"What, what is this? The zodiac? How is this possible!"

Rentaro Satomi stood up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at the image on the screen. The massive, hundreds-of-meters-tall being, possessing an overwhelming aura capable of suppressing everything, could only exist in the fifth stage of the Zodiac!

That emerging from the earth is the constellation Cancer. Like a pale mountain range that grows and splits from the earth itself. Its main body is a bloated trunk tens of kilometers in diameter, composed of countless huge honeycomb-like chambers, each chamber pulsating, spewing out scalding steam and immature larvae.

Thousands upon thousands of segmented limbs of varying sizes, covered in pale carapaces and downy hairs, pierce outward from under the torso, plow the ground, and then retract, propelling this colossal mass, which drips tissue fluid continuously, forward at a speed that defies its uniform shape.

The colossal shadow of Libra rolled across the melting, boiling frozen swamps. Its claws, like drilling platforms, plunged deep into the earth, and a highly concentrated, dark green, viscous liquid, like asphalt, was pumped into the sky like a high-pressure pump, carrying tens of thousands of deadly viruses and plagues aimed at humanity!

Russia should have a deep understanding of this, after all, they were once ravaged by this monster known as the 'Plague King,' and the price was the deaths of millions.

Centaurus is composed of jet-black bones that gleam with a cold metallic glint and constantly pulsating, eerie blue flesh. Beneath its body are countless wriggling, tiny tentacles, and as it moves forward, its 'upper body' extends like a bowstring, arms outstretched, accompanied by a buzzing electromagnetic light. This keeps the "arrows" nocked on the force field ready to be fired at any moment!

It was these countless attacks, formed by bioelectric fields, that once shot down countless human satellites from the sky.

Of course, that's not all; there are also Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces.

Six giant zodiac beasts stood silently on the same piece of land.

They are the destroyers of human civilization, the pinnacle of Gastrea. They once led countless monsters to trample, destroy, and insult everything about human civilization!

And now, they stand here together, and what they submit to is the same will!

“I know you are confused, scared, and terrified. I feel I should introduce myself and explain what happened.”

A soft voice emanated from each screen, followed by a rising camera panning up to reveal a handsome yet cold face.

“But I don’t want to, I’m not in the mood, or rather—” The young man paused, then smiled cruelly.

"I plan to clean up one country first, and then I'll tell you what I'm going to do."

He pointed far away to the other side of the permafrost, to those towering stone monuments, and grinned wildly.

"Today, I'm going to tear down all these obstructive rocks and let them enter your cities to wreak havoc, slaughter, and devour! I'll use the blood of the entire nation to tell you that I'm fucking serious!"

"If you don't agree, then you'll all be eaten and turned into shit!!!"

His roar elicited a collective roar from the surrounding Gastrea, as if they were cheering and applauding his words and voice!

This conveys a terrifying truth—these Gastrea truly obey his commands!

There he was, a 'human', standing atop the Zodiac, surrounded by countless Gastrea!

Who exactly is he? What is he? Why can he control these Gastrea? These questions have lingered in countless minds!

Especially those guys who claim to be the masterminds behind humanity.

"How is that possible? Does he have the 'Ring of Solomon'? But even if he did, he couldn't possibly control these zodiac signs!"

"Go down and investigate! Bring those researchers here!!!"

"If he really can control Gastrea, we must capture him alive. The secret to world domination must be ours!"

These thoughts stem from greed, fear, or desire. A group of people who consider themselves the unsung heroes of humanity, a group who believe they can control the world.

What they think and how they act is meaningless to Dongjiang.

For Tsuruga, knowing just one thing is enough now.
