Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

No one directly saw who created the ice wall, but everyone on Rhodes Island knew who was responsible for this spectacular sight.

This also suggests that Frostnova is most likely near the Ice Wall.

If Frostnova clashes with the Great Ape and angers it... the consequences would be unimaginable.

The drone's camera only showed the giant ape standing there motionless, as if observing something.

The enormous body cast a wide shadow, but Froststar, shrouded in the shadow, merely frowned and stared at the giant ape with a slightly tense expression.

This oppressive feeling did make Frostnova somewhat uncomfortable.

But she could also clearly sense that the giant ape was actually concealing its aura.

Even that slight leak of scent reminded Frostnova of that night she could never forget.

"...Really?"

The giant ape's crimson eyes widened for a moment, then it nodded helplessly with a slight gesture, and then raised its hand, seemingly signaling Frostnova to leave the vicinity for the time being.

Froststar certainly had more questions than anyone else, but after glancing at the approaching volcanic ash, she realized that the other side might be about to do something big, so she nodded to show her understanding and turned to leave.

But before leaving, Frostnova stopped and asked:

"You're naked?"

"Snapped!"

The giant ape seemed speechless at Frostnova's question—though it certainly didn't want to speak in this state.

It slapped its forehead hard, then pointed to Froststar in a direction far from the volcano, meaning it wanted her to hurry up.

"...The ice wall was built for nothing."

Froststar complained and then left.

Those who witnessed this miraculous scene included not only the snipers stationed on nearby high ground, but also the people in the command center who were watching the giant ape's movements via drones.

The giant ape was actually communicating with humans.

The gesture of pointing a finger into the distance is not an attack, but rather a way to guide someone...

Could it be that this is not the same giant ape we encountered in Lungmen before?

Its intelligence is beyond doubt.

But people still don't know what its purpose is, and why it has to appear at this particular time, which completely contradicts the intelligence Tomat gave them.

"Did you see that? That giant ape's reaction...it's incredible! It can communicate with others in a simple way. Amiya, did you see that!?"

The doctor couldn't help but feel excited about this situation.

— Possesses communication skills, does not initiate attacks, and spares Rhodes Island operators.

All of this shows that, at least for now, they and the giant apes are not adversaries.

Without this risk factor, everyone's chances of survival would increase several times over.

The doctor, looking excited, asked Amiya, who was still staring at the screen beside him. Amiya, however, seemed lost in thought, and only responded haltingly after being called several times:

"Ah... um... that's amazing."

"Even if Tomat saw this, he would be very excited, after all, the giant apes he mentioned are ferocious and warlike creatures."

The doctor continued, but the names he mentioned inevitably caused resentment among the others in the command center.

"Where did Tomat go? Isn't this the time when we need his strength the most? Even if we can't get through on the phone, he should at least make some noise. He could have destroyed the entire square in an instant, but now he's nowhere to be seen. Maybe he can help take care of this monster."

"Don't say that. Thomas... he has no obligation to participate in this crisis contract. Every operator has the same right not to participate as him. Moreover, his relationship with Rhodes Island is more like a simple partnership than a formal employment relationship. Even if we consider personal feelings, it's just a friendship."

When the doctor heard the discontented voices, he immediately expressed his disagreement with them.

Amiya nodded repeatedly as she watched the giant ape on the screen.

"Alright, as a partner, it's normal for him to not participate because his interests come first. But if the doctor said that he and you are friends, shouldn't he provide help to his 'friend'?"

Someone continued to ask questions, their words seemingly filled with disappointment in Tomat.

"No, it's precisely because we're friends that we won't add to each other's troubles when we're in trouble ourselves."

The doctor immediately stated from his own perspective that he did not want to exploit their relationship to get the other party to solve his problems.

It was at this moment that Amiya keenly realized why the giant ape had appeared in this place.

And why Thomas himself didn't show up to help.

[Main Text] Siesta's Hottest Holiday: Chapter Fifty-Six - The Great Firestorm

The Great Ape form is generally not a preferred option for Saiyans when performing delicate tasks.

While they gain immense strength and increased resilience, most people become reckless and lack restraint due to the overwhelming excitement and destructive impulses that come with transforming, let alone using their skills effectively.

However, most Saiyans don't need to do any delicate work with the Great Ape. It's enough for them to keep themselves from going berserk and attacking their comrades. As for the rest, they can just dismantle it.

But Tomat didn't stop there.

Although he rarely needs to transform into a giant ape, he still tries his best to control his power output or use combat moves as he normally would when he is in giant ape form.

This alone is enough to make many of their own kind feel strange.

After all, it's rare to see someone in their giant ape form capable of using attacks other than verbal attacks, or skillfully trapping someone in their hand without causing them any harm.

—However, despite their surprise, Tomat's clansmen didn't bother to ask him anything.

At this moment, Tomat stood on the ice wall that Frostnova had created. It must be said that the protection created with all his might was strong enough that Tomat, whose weight had increased so much out of thin air, could easily support it in his Great Ape form.

He leaped down and landed on the other side of the ice wall, his landing causing the ground to tremble and leaving a huge, deep footprint.

Then he bent down and grabbed the ground with his huge palm.

Despite being in the vicinity of Siesta, the infrastructure here is quite good.

The poured ground has good hardness, while below it is softer sand, and further down you can reach ancient rock layers.

The giant ape Tomat used his arm to examine the general structure below, much like scooping pudding with a spoon.

"It should be able to withstand it..."

The air in this area near the volcano is now even more polluted than before, with large amounts of visible dust drifting in the scorching wind, making the already dim environment even more difficult to see.

Only the dim artificial moon and the dark red lava on the ground reflected each other in the sky.

"Rumble, rumble..."

No one could have imagined that when dust particles with diameters of less than 0.1 micrometers gather together, they can create a roar that is no less than the sound of thousands of horses marching across the earth in the distance.

We'll be here in three or four minutes at most.

Beyond this limit, every meter they advance means the death of those who didn't have time to escape.

For a disaster that spans too far to the left and right, conventional gas bombs would not be very suitable as they would create a circular blast zone.

The most appropriate course of action is to stop it with an attack of comparable length.

The target should not be the volcano, but the wave of volcanic ash itself.

Having reached this conclusion and understood the strength of the region, the giant ape, also known as Tomat, began preparing, in its current state, to launch a precise strike against the target that would not cause too much aftershock.

As for the enormous creature that created an artificial island almost entirely on the lake, allowing itself and a large number of infected creatures to remain on it...

Let's ignore it for now.

"Roar!!!!!"

The roar, powerful enough to shatter the surrounding ice walls, was the giant ape's attack signal, echoing another companion it had communicated with before engaging in combat.

Then, without any distraction, he opened his mouth wide and began to condense the energy within his body.

The dim environment was illuminated by an extremely strong light source, and huge shadows were stretched to the horizon and cast on the ground.

Looking from the other side of the ice wall, the smooth ice wall now displays a chaotic scene like a kaleidoscope.

Dark, surging waves; crimson magma; dim orbs of light; and colossal energy bodies...

In addition, there is the silhouette of a huge creature.

"It...is it going to attack the volcano?"

The giant ape hadn't even started moving yet, but everyone who saw the scene immediately assumed that.

It was something that made no sense to the giant ape, yet people couldn't help but place their hopes on it at that moment.

"Roar..."

With a deep roar, the white energy aggregate gathered in front of the giant ape's mouth was constantly contracting and collapsing, as if trying to compress the energy that could severely interfere with signals and cause the surrounding matter to collapse and fly to an unimaginable degree.

The more compressed it is, the brighter the light emitted by that energy becomes.

Finally, when it shrunk to a size that an average person could hold in one hand, the giant ape roared like thunder again, and at the same time turned its head quickly from left to right.

"Roar!!!!"

The compressed energy body stretched instantly with its movement, transforming into a laser-like beam that swept across the forefront of the swirling volcanic ash.

The fleeting light vanished into the still-moving volcanic ash.

After all, it was too small. The giant ape, which was about 20 meters tall, was like an ant in front of the volcanic ash that was at least a thousand meters high, let alone the tiny ray of light.

But those observing this scene couldn't help but hold their breath.

It won't end so easily—that's the consensus among them.

"boom!!!!!"

The next moment, the wall of fire shooting straight into the sky, as if responding to people's expectations, instantly illuminated the sky, tore through the thick clouds, and churned with flames and explosive waves, firmly blocking the volcanic ash, which was then swept up and engulfed by the upward-sweeping flames.

It was a high wall that spanned the entirety of Siesta.

It burns on the earth and tears open unhealable rifts on the water.

Compared to that, the previous ice wall was nothing more than a few ice crystals falling out when you open the freezer compartment of a refrigerator.

However, despite its exaggerated scale, it did not unleash a terrifying heatwave on the surrounding area as observed.

It was as if all the power was concentrated on that area of ​​fire wall; the destructive force capable of harming others all rushed straight to the end of the sky, and then dissipated like the thick clouds that obscured Siesta.

The wall of fire, formed by immense energy, can last for a period of time.
