My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 615 - 614 Border Emergency

Chapter 615: Chapter 614 Border Emergency

"Heard some insider gossip, a big incident happened in the Imperial City. My third aunt’s nephew’s cousin’s girlfriend told me last night in bed."

"What big incident... wait, why was it in bed?"

"Hiss, wasn’t this supposed to be a serious and proper discussion post? Why do I vaguely sense some sleazy undertones?"

"But seriously, what’s happening in the Imperial City? The arranged evening matches were also halted, and they keep replaying news from two days ago."

"I haven’t gotten a reply from my Imperial City friends I met through gaming in several hours."

"The blogger who posted about the Imperial City alarms being sounded has been penalized too, which is kinda worrisome..."

"Nonsense, anyone still awake and not concerned wouldn’t have stayed up this late."

"I’m not concerned, this is a victory for the cultivation faction~"

After the live broadcast was interrupted for the second time, Imperial City’s radio station had announced that some pet beasts went mad and told everyone not to panic. Not long after that, all news from the Imperial City just completely vanished. No one was able to contact any friends in the Imperial City, and although telecommunication companies came out and said there was a malfunction with the Imperial City’s communications equipment, the initial hints and clues still made many people choose to stay put and wait for the first scoop."

At this point, a post made it to the top of the hot threads, its bold and red font teasing people’s nerves.

"Shocking Transformation! Imperial City citizens completely evacuate downtown, Sunlight Weekly’s frontline reporter brings you a live broadcast from Coin Station!!"

Not long after the post was made, a previously unpopular and little-known livestream room on Coin Station was flooded with a massive number of viewers, with both viewer count and barrage comments exploding.

"First."

"Front row for the drama, isn’t that the central venue in the Imperial City? I went there for Ai Mei-chan’s semi-virtual concert from Fusang Country last year."

"It’s definitely the central venue, but haven’t you noticed how deserted those streets are?"

"So many soldiers, but it’s normal for security to be tighter during a major event, right?"

"Someone’s coming out, what’s with those white coats... are they some new breed of mutant creatures?"

"Clickbait strikes again!"

Besides some normal discussions, the livestream channel was also filled with a lot of meaningless spam comments.

Just then, without warning, the livestream channel’s image was filled with a blinding white light, followed by violent shaking at both camera positions. The subsequent roar and noise from electronic devices almost caused those with headphones to die on the spot; the whole process lasted nearly a minute.

Comments were flying across the livestream screen.

Damn, my ears! ²³³³³³³ 6666666 Awesome 23333 ²³³³³³³³³³³ 2333 6666 ²³³ 666 Opening Thunder Strike! Amazing, good thing I didn’t have the sound on 23333 ²³³³³³³³³³³ 2333 6666

However, as the image in the livestream room gradually became clearer, those crazily spamming comments began to disappear. A man’s painful moaning was heard in the video as the destroyed central venue completely appeared in front of thousands of viewers.

Not just the central venue.

Burning flames engulfed the site of the central venue, and buildings within a one-kilometer radius exhibited varying degrees of collapse.

After a while, a comment drifted across the livestream room.

"My, the power of this is comparable to the destructive effect of 70 tons of TNT from the past, right?"

"Heh, at most 60 tons."

"You’re full of it! I think 50 tons is enough."

But before the keyboard warriors could pick up their keyboards to debate about exactly how much TNT would be necessary for such destructive effect, a giant beast faintly appeared amidst the burning flames at the site of the central venue.

The moment everyone watching the livestream saw that giant beast, a single thought surged in everyone’s minds.

"How is this possible?"

...

The atmosphere in the Tingming Pavilion was tense, and the long-faced Elder Qi looked at the time and snorted coldly, "Now that everyone is evacuating from the Imperial City, besides some news of infected people being killed, where is this backup plan of the Holy Origin Society you speak of?"

Wu Tianyan remained silent, feeling greater pressure than anyone else. Before the situation had become clear, he did not want to make any comments.

Bang!

The door of the conference hall was pushed open, and a staff member hurried in, "Elder Wu, someone has started a live broadcast at the central venue; the number of viewers has already broken 7 million."

On hearing this, Elder Qi glared, "Just cut it off, do we need to teach you that? Didn’t we tell you to block the internet? How can someone still be live broadcasting?"

Facing Elder Qi’s outburst, the staff member was almost in tears, "I don’t know either, but now with so many people watching, we..."

Boom!

Suddenly, everyone in the Tingming Pavilion heard a thunderous boom, followed by violent tremors. The other three National Guardian Beasts perched on the Nation’s Pillars woke up in alarm and looked down, puzzled.

Wu Tianyan’s expression grew grave, "The phone."

The staff member quickly took out his phone, and on the screen, a giant beast slowly emerged from a sea of fire.

An elderly man in a military uniform leaned in, "The Iron-eating Giant Panda...no, how has it changed like this? Could it have evolved?"

The other elders also changed their expressions upon seeing this. The Iron-eating Giant Panda, a National Guardian Beast of Great Xia, held a revered status, but now it had launched such a widespread attack on the Imperial City.

"We can’t worry about that now," Wu Tianyan stood up resolutely, "Jin Chi, Thunder Strike, Fire Phoenix, you three quickly head to the central venue."

Several low growls came from the top of the conference hall, and then silence was restored.

Wu Tianyan looked at the staff member, "How long will it take for the National Guardian Generals to arrive in Imperial City?"

The staff member hurriedly replied, "General An Nan will arrive in about an hour, General of the North has a longer journey, about five hours, and the other generals..."

"Elder Wu, Elder Qi!"

Another staff member rushed in, breathing heavily, "The countries of Fusang, Nanyue, Goryeo, and Tianzhu, among others, citing Great Xia’s detainment of their competitors as a reason, have simultaneously dispatched their ancestral beasts to attack our borders. The generals are held back and can’t come to aid!"

Bang!

The military-clad elder stood up abruptly, his eyebrows furrowed and eyes blazing, "How dare they!"

The conference hall fell silent once more. Everything that had occurred seemed too ’coincidental’. As soon as the Imperial City faced troubles, they launched their attack. To say there was no conspiracy involved would be naïve.

Faced with this scenario, Wu Tianyan felt powerless for the first time. The initial proposal for a joint competition was merely bait; taken out of necessity to unify all of humanity against external forces. The only piece of good news now was that the citizens of the Imperial City had been evacuated, temporarily averting a large-scale casualty event.

As for the rest, hope now lay with Jin Chi, Fire Phoenix, and Thunder Strike to stabilize the situation.

Yet, it was unknown if the Holy Origin Society still had any tricks up their sleeve...

Elder Tang, her face etched with worry, "Elder Wu, what should we do now?"

With determination, Wu Tianyan responded, "We must fight at all costs and not let them succeed. As long as Great Xia can overcome this challenge, those countries that have gotten involved..."

Wu Tianyan’s gaze became increasingly icy.

"Hmph!"
