In Districts 2, 4, 7, 8, and 9, large areas of high-rise buildings were flooded, and people fled in search of higher places for refuge.
The skyline was gradually being swallowed by the sea, and the once familiar scene was disappearing bit by bit. People looked up at the sky anxiously, praying for a miracle to happen and save this world from destruction.
The streets were flooded by the surging seawater, and cars, telephone poles... everything was swept into the abyss. People watched in despair as their homes were destroyed, their hearts filled with helplessness and panic.
The sky grew darker and darker, and the sea water flooded over the hills.
Seeing the surging tide spreading to the outskirts of Huadu, Ai Yu stood alone in an open space. With a flip of her wrist, a revolver appeared in her hand. She pointed the muzzle of the gun at her heart and whispered, "Summoning, Ai Yu, enter the formation."
As the gunshot rang out, Ai Yu's appearance underwent a drastic transformation. Her body rapidly expanded, her limbs gradually deformed, and scales and soft feathers emerged from her skin. In a flash, she transformed into a towering beast.
This behemoth stood tens of meters tall, its massive body covered in dazzling scales. A pair of enormous wings draped behind it like cicada wings, ending in a black, silky tail that shone with a captivating, iridescent sheen in the sunlight.
When she opened her mouth, her fangs flashed with a cold light, which was chilling. But at the same time, her eyes revealed a gentle expression, as if expressing concern for everything around her.
The giant beast slowly raised its head and let out a deep, melodious roar. It paced gracefully, each movement revealing unspeakable power and beauty.
It is incredible that such a huge creature can give people the feeling of a lady from ancient times, well-educated, gentle and elegant.
Atop her head, a unique dark red hue shone like a gem, reflecting the surrounding light and contrasting with the black and white of her entire body. She raised her forelimbs, rubbed her black neck, looked up at the gradually receding water, and continued walking forward.
While walking, her slender forelimbs adjusted the thin petal-like shell on her chest. It was obovate and milky white, very similar to the flowers of the Davidia involucrata.
"Ai Yu?" Ai Yu stopped and asked. She also spoke, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. After killing this alien creature, can I continue to sleep? I quite like this planet. Especially this country called Xia. My voice is like the chimes of Xia, isn't it? There is a tune called "Drunk in the Flowers".
I like that tune the most, so I changed the order and gave myself this name. “Drunk among the Flowers…” She cleared her throat and sang in the Jiangnan dialect, “Dew drops on the golden plate, elm flowers on both sides are white. The wind shakes the jade pendant, what night is it tonight?” [1]
"Isn't the purpose of the Kerulemon to destroy?"
"Yeah, so, I've been sleeping the whole time."
The conversation between the two consciousnesses quieted down. Ai Yu raised her index finger, placed it in front of her black lips, and gently curled them: "Dear Ai Yu, there is no need to worry about the future, and there is no need to miss the past. Just focus on the present."
This sentence was spoken in Huajianzui's voice. After hearing it, Ai Yu fell silent again.
Ai Yu took two or three steps to the beach, looked at the turbulent sea with his hands, lowered his eyes and asked softly, "Aren't you ready to come out yet? You are an uninvited stranger from a foreign land, an invading beast occupying the magpie's nest."
In the boundless ocean, a gigantic creature slowly swam by. Its body was composed of countless tiny bubbles shimmering with soft light, as if the entire universe was condensed within it.
The beast radiated a dreamy light, each tiny bubble like a captivating star, shifting and changing as it moved. As it slowly spread its massive tentacles, countless tiny points of light burst forth like fireworks, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
"Luffa Luffa." The giant beast's head, like a dry stone, was completely inconsistent with its entire body and emerged from the sea, making a monotonous sound.
Ai Yu raised her eyes slightly, and her body was covered with a mysterious and solemn light. With the movement of her fingers, she controlled the storm, and lightning burst out around her.
Accompanied by the sound of thunderstorms, Ai Yu began to dance. She covered her face and moved forward, her wings flapping to create a strong storm. Thunder flashed, and each attack was accompanied by a powerful melody, like the melody played by an ancient god.
Still submerged in the water, Luffy exuded an aura of violence and destruction. He roared furiously, spewing blazing fire and lava from his mouth, incinerating everything. His tentacles danced wildly, shattering everything in their path, unleashing his ferocious and savage instincts.
The two clashed amidst hurricane-force winds, torrential rain, and intertwined thunder and lightning. Ai Yu directed his attack with wind and thunder, while Lu Fu launched a frantic counterattack with raging fire. A deafening roar echoed through the air, as if denouncing the intensity of this ultimate showdown.
But the world was silent and still, and only this battle was the most shocking symphony.
The two behemoths engaged in a fierce confrontation in the air. Their collision set off a huge wave, and the air was filled with an indescribable energy.
The dark red area on Ai Yu's head gradually turned brighter, and his eyebrows drooped, with a hint of compassion and solemnity.
Between the bubbles on Luv's body, traces of body fluids like galaxies remained, mixing with the seawater, carrying with them a breath of violence and destruction. Each of his attacks was like the flames of hell, raging and engulfing everything.
The storm and fire intertwined, magnificent and dangerous.
Ai Yu danced with ease, the wings behind her fluttering gracefully in the breeze like a regal shawl. Each of her movements was accompanied by a beautiful melody, like an enchanting piece of Song poetry, its graceful, lingering rhythm caressing the soul.
On the other hand, on the opposite side, Luffy was raging like a violent storm, his tentacles waving as he fiercely tore through the air, releasing destructive power. The ebb and flow of the sea followed his voice, as if he had completely controlled the sea.
The flames, carrying the sea water, rushed towards the mainland, and were about to engulf the dancer in front of them.
The battle between the two became more and more intense, with storms and fire echoing each other. Ai Yu raised her hands to cover her face. Facing this overwhelming attack, her shoulders shook and she looked like she was about to cry.
This shake caused the earth to resonate, and the sea water was blocked outside the continent by an invisible barrier. Ai Yu wiped away her non-existent tears and uttered a sad sound.
The fierce battle between the two beasts continued, their strength and will collided, creating an unprecedented battlefield.
The thunder and wind, and the blazing flames were another catastrophe between heaven and earth.
