Chapter 008: Monster

Hasegawa was the man in charge of loading and unloading containers. Hearing the foreman's curses, he was about to reply when he suddenly noticed the ground beginning to tremble.

At first, it was just a slight tremor, but in the blink of an eye, the shaking grew violent.

Rumble, rumble...

At the same time, containers toppled, fell, and crashed to the ground one after another.

The lead worker's face turned pale. A roar rose from his lungs and burst out, "Earthquake! Run for your lives!"

The earthquake struck so abruptly that it swept through the entire dock in an instant. Countless dockworkers, once they realized what was happening, joined the stampede to escape.

With such violent shaking, if the dock collapsed, they would all fall into the sea like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Whether they survived or not would depend entirely on the whims of fate.

Under the threat of death, everyone ran desperately, wishing they had two more legs.

But just then, a ship at the dock suddenly began to shake, as if lifted by some force, rising higher and higher, leaving the sea surface, and in an instant surpassing the height of the dock.

Then, as if propelled by something, the ship flew like a cannonball and, amid the horror of countless onlookers, crashed onto the dock with a thunderous roar.

In that instant, the earth shook, the ground shattered, and dust billowed into the sky.

Most of the crew and passengers still inside the ship died instantly.

The sudden disaster threw everyone into chaos.

Many realized immediately that this was not an earthquake, because an earthquake could not send a ship flying.

But even so, no one stopped running, trying to get out of the port as quickly as possible, because no matter the cause, it was far too dangerous here.

Yet human curiosity knows no bounds. Many, while fleeing for their lives, kept looking back, wanting to see what had caused this situation.

And so they witnessed a scene of utter horror.

The sea level began to rise wildly, reaching a terrifying height in an instant. Then the seawater receded, revealing what had been hidden beneath.

It was a monster of immense size, with a shell-like armor on its back, yellow arteries covering its body, and two pairs of forelimbs on its chest serving as its attack weapons, the main limbs being enormous.

But what was most terrifying of all was its blade-like head—its most effective weapon. The head, shaped like a shark's blade, was long and narrow, exuding an unimaginable pressure.

Seeing that blade-like head, everyone had no doubt that this head alone could easily destroy any building.

Including the skyscrapers that humanity prided itself on.

After emerging from the sea, the monster approached from afar, step by step, walking into Tokyo Port. Each step caused the port to shake violently.

Upon seeing the monster, people fled even more frantically.

But many were so stunned by the monster that they lost all will to escape.

Before long, the giant monster rose from the seabed, stepped onto the docks of Tokyo Port, effortlessly knocked over one oil tanker after another, and, amid countless screams, made landfall in Tokyo.

Standing on Tokyo's soil, the colossal monster raised its head and let out another tremendous roar.

ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a roar full of brutality, wildness, and ferocity, coming from afar, as if announcing its existence to the world, shattering the peace of everyday life.

At the same time, it woke Wang Bo from his sleep.

The moment he heard the roar, Wang Bo groggily opened his eyes and instinctively looked toward the direction of the sound.

At the same time, his pupils quickly switched to farsighted and X-ray vision.

In an instant, Wang Bo's gaze pierced through one towering building after another that stood in his way, and he saw the source of the sound.

A giant monster, nearly a hundred meters tall, was rampaging through Tokyo Port.

Especially the monster's bizarre appearance made Wang Bo unable to believe his eyes.

"Holy shit, a Knifehead!"

Yes, Wang Bo recognized that massive monster. It was a creature from the world of Pacific Rim, a monster created by some civilization specifically to invade the human world.

So, had he come to the world of Pacific Rim?

Wang Bo was a bit dumbfounded.

He remembered that in the Pacific Rim world, the first monster appeared in San Francisco, and it took the Americans several days to kill it.

But by then, the monster had already destroyed most of San Francisco.

And the first monster to appear wasn't a Knifehead either. In the Pacific Rim world, monsters were also classified by level. Knifehead, or Bladehead, was a Category III monster.

According to the plot, this was completely wrong.

So, was the plot messed up, or had the Knifehead traveled through time?

Wang Bo leaned toward the latter. Since dragons could travel through time, why couldn't monsters?

Watching the monster wreak havoc in Tokyo Port, Wang Bo thought for a moment, then teleported to the rooftop of a tall building near the port to observe the monster up close.

Yes, judging by its appearance, it was indeed the monster Knifehead, also known as Bladehead.

For human civilization, this monster was an absolute destroyer.

The civilization built by humans was worthless in its eyes. Its only mission was to destroy, destroy, and destroy again.

Kill all humans, destroy all civilizations, and then transform Earth into a planet suitable for monsters to live on—that was the monster's purpose. Or rather, that was why the monsters were created.

Standing on the rooftop of the building, looking down at the monster that was doing its best to destroy everything, Wang Bo raised a hand and teleported several unlucky souls who were about to die under the Knifehead's feet to a safe place.

The Knifehead didn't notice anyone being rescued; after all, to it, humans were just ants.

It didn't care at all whether ants were rescued.

From start to finish, it was just walking.

With its enormous size, every step it took on the ground left a huge footprint in the concrete, and every movement caused the ground to shake.

Without a doubt, for humans, this was a moving natural disaster.

Wang Bo tried to teleport the monster away, sending it into the desert, but he quickly found that he had failed.

This behemoth, nearly a hundred meters tall and weighing thousands of tons, was immune to his teleportation magic.

This shocked Wang Bo immensely.

It was the first time his magic had ever failed. He couldn't figure out the reason for the moment, but undeniable, he had indeed failed.

The monster was not moved and continued to wreak havoc.

Wang Bo had to settle for the next best thing, teleporting people who were about to die at the monster's hands, one by one, to safety.
