What appeared before their eyes was a familiar street scene. After living here for a month, Arthas was already very familiar with the buildings in this area.
Then, in the center of the image, there was a whoosh, and it distorted.
The spacequake happened right before everyone's eyes.
In the space where there had been nothing, ripples appeared as if a small stone had been thrown into the water.
"This is the first time I've seen a spacequake happen so directly..." Looking at the distorted and strange scene on the screen, Arthas said with some curiosity.
What kind of power was the power of the Spirits? Arthas had always been very curious, but he hadn't been able to figure anything out even after researching it for a long time.
Because the power on Tohka's body had weakened to the point where it was almost impossible to capture, although this power seemed to have entered Arthas's body, Arthas still couldn't find it.
But what was certain was that the power of the Spirits was a completely different power from the power that Arthas possessed.
Arthas's power, whether it was the Sin of This World or the extreme cold, was a power full of erosion, but the power of the Spirits was different. It was a gentle and inclusive power.
Although this gentle power brought about the terrible destruction of the spacequake, compared to the power in Arthas's body, he couldn't think of any other way to describe it other than gentle.
Arthas didn't even dare to think about what terrible things would happen if his power went berserk.
"Well, let's enjoy it properly. This incredible and beautiful scene, a strange sight that humans can never achieve."
Just as Kotori was speaking, the distortion became larger and larger.
The moment he felt that the screen seemed to have produced a bit of white light, along with a booming sound, the screen turned completely white.
What burst out in an instant was still that eerie dark purple glow, eroding everything around it, just like a greedy mouth devouring everything that its tongue swept over.
Then, after a few seconds, when everything had calmed down, they looked at the original commercial street again.
Nothing was left, like a ridiculous graffiti that had been erased by an eraser.
Perhaps this kind of description would be more appropriate.
On the street where there had been several buildings lined up until now, nothing existed anymore, and the ground had been shallowly scooped out like a bowl.
The shops, streetlights, power poles, and even the road surface that had been there had all disappeared without a trace.
Due to the aftermath of the explosion, the surrounding area was a scene as if it had been hit by a large typhoon.
But fortunately, the evacuation work had been done well, and this tragic scene hadn't caused any casualties.
This scene was very similar to the place where Tohka had first descended about a month ago.
Without a doubt... a calamity that brought destruction to the world... a spacequake!
The explosion only lasted for a moment before it ended. Although it was a small-scale spacequake, the destructive power it caused was still so terrible.
"Well, this explosion can be considered small-scale." Licking the lollipop, Kotori defined the scene before her eyes.
"You're right."
Then, Kotori, and the tall, thin man behind her, the vice-commander, Kannazuki Kyouhei, said this.
"Fortunately... Although I want to say that, 'Hermit' is probably only at this level."
"Well, that's true. She's a pretty gentle type among the Spirits." Kotori said, looking at Arthas behind her.
"Next is up to you. The AST members have already moved out, right?"
Arthas didn't say anything, just staring intently at the scene before him.
On the screen before him was the pit that had been left behind after the spacequake attack.
The rain was still falling drizzly, as if the heavens were crying.
Night had already fallen, and the scene looked very dim. The sound of raindrops was constantly ringing out, drip, drip.
But all of this wasn't what Arthas was concerned about. What Arthas was concerned about was the very center of that pit.
In the center of the ground that had been dug out like a meteorite crater, the figure of a small girl could be seen.
Standing in the center of the magnified image, the figure of a girl was standing there quietly.
Covered by a hood decorated with rabbit ears, a blue-haired girl.
She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and under the large coat, she was wearing underwear made of an incredible material.
And then, on her left hand, she wore a comically designed rabbit doll.
"It's her, as I thought..."
Muttering this to himself, he looked at the screen.
The area where the girl Yoshino, the Spirit called 'Hermit', was located was enveloped in thick smoke, probably from a missile attack or something.
And then around her, there were several humans wearing conspicuous mechanical armor floating in the air.
The Ground Self-Defense Force. The Anti-Spirit Team, commonly known as the AST.
Unlike Kotori's organization, 'Ratatoskr', they were a special unit whose purpose was to annihilate the Spirits with force.
And then from the smoke, a small silhouette flew out with a poof.
She was flying in the air as if she was holding the doll on her left hand high, passing through the gaps between the AST members guarding the area, and jumping into the air.
But the AST members reacted quickly, chasing after 'Hermit' all at once.
And just like that, they fired a large amount of ammunition from the weapons equipped on their bodies.
"Alright, send me over there." No longer looking at the development of the situation on the screen, Arthas spoke coldly, his words already mixed with anger.
He couldn't help but be angry. To treat such a cute and petite girl like this, no matter what, it was too much, wasn't it?
"It can't be helped. After all, she's a Spirit. Although she looks so cute on the outside, it still can't change the fact that they're Spirits that bring calamity to the world." Kotori said, sighing softly.
"Prepare to transfer, begin the operation!"
"Understood, Commander!" A neat and loud reply rang out from the ship's cabin.
On one side of the high platform of the destroyed building, in addition to several girls wearing incredible mechanical clothing floating in the air, there were also two girls standing quietly on a tall building, observing.
"Chase after her! Don't let her get away!" The girl floating in the air shouted, and below was already a cloud of smoke.
Just as the AST member spoke, the Spirit girl jumped into the air from the smoke again, running away.
She didn't seem to have any intention of fighting back at all, only running away single-mindedly. But her escape didn't bring any pity, only even more unbridled attacks.
