Chapter 58: Latent Awakening, A Bug Covering the Entire City!

Luo Yimeng smiled and explained, "A latent awakening skill. You might not have heard of it. When we players collect four latent awakening crystal fragments, our characters can undergo a latent awakening and comprehend a latent awakening skill. That's an extremely powerful ultimate move, and it's considered truly possessing the power to contend against anomalies. As for the crystal in your hand, it can release a latent awakening skill for a short time."

"W-Wait! A latent awakening skill??!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wan was instantly dumbfounded.

Holy shit!!

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?!

If he were to release a latent awakening skill, this city was going to be utterly doomed!!

Bai Wan tried to pull his hand back, but the crystal was stuck firmly to his hand and wouldn't budge at all.

Seeing Bai Wan's nervous expression, Luo Yimeng couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing as she said, "Don't worry, the surrounding rooms have the effect of suppressing latent awakening skills, allowing them to exert at most one-third of their power. You don't have to worry, your skill will..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a dazzling white light erupt from Bai Wan, followed by...

"Will...?"

Boom!!!

In less than a second, the special walls designed to suppress latent awakening skills shattered completely.

Shattered along with them was everything above Bai Wan's floor.

Crack!! Boom!!

The entire official building, from the floor Bai Wan was standing on downwards, was blown into dust.

Bai Wan and the others were left standing as if they were in an open-air plaza.

The outside wind blew straight in, hitting the dumbfounded faces of Luo Yimeng and Zhao Jie.

Looking at the empty sky above, the two of them unconsciously let their jaws drop.

Then, an invisible domain covered the entire city.

Whoosh!

And then...

The Error Domain completely unfolded.

The entire city began to descend into chaos.

Splash! Splash!!!

An elderly man who was lying down to sunbathe suddenly popped his eyes wide open, only to see the original sun suddenly transform into a baby's face and smile at him, almost scaring him into a heart attack. His little grandson beside him couldn't help but shout,

"It's the Teletubbies!!"

...

At a certain funeral ceremony.

A middle-aged man wearing mourning garb was kowtowing to a portrait of his mother, crying as he said, "Go in peace, Mother. Your son will work hard from now on, I'll never gamble again, I'll never drink again, and I'll live a good life with my wife."

The mourning guests couldn't help but feel deeply moved upon seeing this. Old Zhang only had this one child who had been idle and unindustrious since childhood; only now could he be considered to have truly grown up.

The middle-aged man's elderly father patted him on the shoulder with a comforting expression and said, "Good son, let's start everything anew."

"Yes! Starting today, this unfilial descendant will definitely work hard and live up to Mother's expectations!" the middle-aged man wailed loudly.

Suddenly, another burst of crying was heard.

Subconsciously, everyone looked toward the source of the sound, and all of them were completely dumbfounded.

Behold, the elderly woman in the funeral portrait began to cry.

"Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo... My good son, you've finally grown up!!"

Father: "..."

Son: "..."

Guests: "..."

...

Chaos, chaos was everywhere.

People looked in terror toward the towering buildings above.

Numerous monsters were running amok throughout the city.

One of them, a monster resembling a moth, spotted a human and raised a giant foot to stomp down.

Whoosh!

To be crushed by that terrifying power would undoubtedly turn someone into a meat pancake.

A young girl wore a look of despair, feeling certain that she was going to die.

And right at that moment, a flash of light suddenly swept past.

Bang!

The monster was directly kicked flying into the distance.

A giant Ultraman appeared before the girl's eyes.

The girl stared blankly at this scene, murmuring foolishly, "So there really is light in this world."

Following that, Ultraman and the monster began to fight.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Nearby high-rises were all pushed over.

Countless buildings were affected by all sorts of creatures and destroyed piece by piece, making the entire city look like a living hell.

At this moment, major anomaly hunters rushed out, their faces pale with terror as they cried out, "What happened? Has an unresolvable-class anomaly invaded the mortal world??"

Looking at the chaotic mess the city had become, the anomaly hunters were dumbfounded, and some rookie anomaly hunters even had trembling legs.

Just what on earth had happened?

"Wait, look, what is that in the sky?" an anomaly hunter suddenly shouted.

"Holy shit!"

The anomaly hunters raised their heads and discovered that many people had appeared in the air out of nowhere.

One of them had the Chinese character for "Martial Arts" stuck to the back of their outfit, and everyone else wore similar clothing.

"Could that be... Goku and Piccolo???"

The anomaly hunters stared in utter shock. Weren't these characters from Dragon Ball?

They saw Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Link, and Master Roshi completely surrounding an orange-haired afroed figure whose eyes were swirling with spirals.

Next, the orange-haired afro slowly rose into the sky, crossed his arms, and stated indifferently, "What can a bag of rice carry up to—a bag of rice to the second floor, every grain has mud, Shinra Tensei!!"

The anomaly hunters' expressions tightened as they hastily shouted, "Holy crap, run!"

Following that, centered around the afroed figure, a terrifying explosion occurred.

Boom!!!

The terrifying shockwave instantly blew away Goku and the others, while several innocent anomaly hunters were also sucked into the blast.

Crack!!!

Surrounding high-rises all collapsed as if swept clean by a vacuum zone.

Ultraman, who had been fighting the monster, was also caught in the aftermath.

Thud!

The shockwave of the Shinra Tensei directly blasted Tiga Ultraman away.

Boom!!

The monster was blown away, and Tiga Ultraman was also sent flying for a distance, crashing heavily onto the ground and flattening another block of buildings.

"Beep-beep—ding-dong, ding-dong"

He barely managed to support himself on the ground to stand up, the indicator light on his chest rapidly turning red before flashing with a ding-dong red glow.

Some lucky anomaly hunters looked up toward the sky with fearful expressions.

This was too terrifying...

What on earth had happened to this city?

Before they could even catch their breath, they horror-strickenly discovered dense, tiny black dots slowly descending from the sky, growing larger and larger in their field of vision.

Pain, who was still floating in the sky with his arms crossed and fixed in a cool pose, heard a commotion from above and curiously raised his head.

Then, he was astonished to find meteor after meteor crashing down from above.

This wasn't the Chibaku Tensei he had cast...

"W-Wait!"

Boom!!

Boom, boom, boom!!!

A beautiful meteor shower covered the entire Longbei City, falling one after another in rapid succession and smashing Pain down into the ground along with them.

A portion of the entire city had already turned into ruins, with one crater after another steaming with heat.

Anomaly hunters displayed their abilities in the city's airspace to barely resist, but all of their faces were pale.

Suddenly, someone collapsed to the ground in despair, trembling fingers pointing toward the sky.

Everyone looked up in bewilderment.

They saw a massive meteor rapidly plunging from above.

Whoosh!

The size of that meteor covered even half the city...

More and more anomaly hunters helplessly dropped to their knees, terror written all over their faces.

They had never even heard of a meteor this large...

"This is way too exaggerated!!"

"Is Longbei City finished???"
