The gentleman in the tailcoat originally planned to “teleport” to hurry on his way.

However, just as he pointed in a direction, he was grabbed by Jiang Chen and tucked into the crook of his arm.

Before he had a chance to speak, he felt a tremendous propulsive force.

The model Zero Mecha catapulted off, appearing to turn into a bolt of lightning, rapidly hopping across different rooftops, and in just a moment, they had reached Vanilla University several kilometers away.

When the Mecha landed back on the ground, the stone bricks of the road were crushed to pieces.

A retching sound followed.

The gentleman in the tailcoat nearly vomited out his stomach.

“When the gap in power is this great, relying solely on self-control is quite limited in effect,”

“Looking back, I could install a Bio-organic Force Field module on the Mecha, which would not only enable flight capabilities but also effectively prevent similar incidents…”

Jiang Chen’s mind raced with thoughts as he put down the gentleman in the tailcoat and surveyed Vanilla University.

The abyssal monsters had not yet reached this place, but the scene of the tentacle knocking down the airship had already caused panic and chaos here.

After all, even the most knowledgeable professor had no way of explaining what had just happened.

The talk of monsters and doomsday quickly fermented, causing the students to become terrified and hide everywhere.

Jiang Chen was helpless in this chaotic situation.

This place was too foreign to him; even if he wanted to find a few authoritative figures capable of calming people down, like the university president or professors, he didn’t know where to start.

He couldn’t possibly collect survivors one by one, could he?

That would be too much of a waste of time—

What this civilization presently lacked the most was precisely time.

Fortunately, he still had the gentleman in the tailcoat with him.

The man seemed to have some status and might be able to help.

“Do you have a way to contact the university’s president and professors to gather the students again and seek refuge together?”

The gentleman in the tailcoat managed to stop retching, looking considerably gaunt, and nodded his head.

“I’ve sponsored many students here, and they’ve become professors today… Leave it to me,” he said.

He took a deep breath, picked up his cane, and lightly tapped the air.

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot.

Even with the model Zero Mecha, giving him agility as high as 28 points, Jiang Chen couldn’t see how the man vanished.

“Teleportation ability…”

“Is he a Transcendent from this civilization?”

“Is it a genetic-based supernatural ability, or self-taught magic?”

Perhaps it was the tailcoat gentleman’s distinguished status.

Perhaps it was that people’s mental defenses had been completely shattered by the earlier apocalyptic scene, making them believe in the “Tian Qi” theory.

It might also be just a simple case of seeking a mental anchor during a panic-stricken time.

The tailcoat gentleman didn’t take long to find the university president and convinced him to join in the search for professors, then advisers, and students…

By leveraging these connections, most people from Vanilla University were gathered together.

He then led these people to the nearby bomb shelter to take refuge.

Thanks to multiple past air-raid drills in preparation against air strikes, the whole process was quite orderly.

The students’ emotions also gradually calmed down during this process.

Although they were still in fear and recovering from shock, they were no longer in chaos.

Until a certain moment.

A multitude of deformed Merfolk monsters were climbing over houses and fences, streaming into the campus from the direction of the coast.

A five to six-meter-tall monster with a body covered in black soft hair also followed the Merfolk out of the end of the road.

It held a street lamp as a weapon in one hand, and half of a corpse in the other.

The creature’s head split open vertically down the middle, turning into a vicious maw brimming with sharp teeth, and tiny tentacle-like limbs stretched out from the center, entangling the half-corpse and pulling it inside.

External scanning equipment initiated tagging.

[Shallow Abyss Giant]

[Attributes: Strength 14, Agility 7, Defense 10, Enigmatism 1.]

[Features: As an aberration life form of ancient gods, it possesses great strength and amazing defense, usually appearing alongside Shallow Abyss Merfolk.]

[Weakness: The heart is located in the lower right abdomen, shattering it will kill.]

[Evaluation: With powerful strength and outstanding defense, it is not advisable to engage in close combat.]

Abyss monsters capable of destroying civilization are clearly not just Shallow Abyss Merfolk.

With the passage of time, increasingly powerful monsters were emerging from the sea abyss, coming onto land.

Even air-raid shelters could not withstand the attacks of these monsters.

However, Jiang Chen had never thought that the air-raid shelters alone could preserve the Seed of Civilization.

He was the true line of defense.

Just like now, the professors and students, who had just calmed down a bit, had their fear reawakened upon sighting these horrific, misshapen monsters.

At that moment, Jiang Chen moved.

He transformed into a blinding purple and white lightning bolt, rushing forward, and arrived directly in front of the Shallow Abyss Giant, stepping on its chest to reach its head.

He grabbed its skull by the mandibles and pulled hard to both sides.

Rip!

Under the immense strength, the Shallow Abyss Giant’s 10 points of defense were utterly useless.

It split right down the middle, torn forcefully into two halves!

Jiang Chen, holding the two pieces of giant wreckage, swung them around like wielding two enormous staves, casually brandishing them.

At that time, the Resilient Exo-skin of the Shallow Abyss Giant proved to be useful.

It easily crushed the Shallow Abyss Merfolk, turning them into splashes of blood, with the exo-skin itself unscathed.

Weapons Master trait, activated!

You make a handy weapon!

As for Jiang Chen’s thermal light sword…

Cutting down these monsters was naturally like slicing through vegetables.

But not as impactful or awe-inspiring as the current method of combat.

The fearful students and professors, upon seeing the five to six meters tall terrifying giants easily torn apart by the purple and white mecha, realized how fragile they were.

The purple and white mecha then proceeded with a rampant slaughter until it was soaked in fresh blood, resembling a demon god.

Their fear dissolved along with it.

It quickly transformed into intense fervor.

“Tian Qi!”

The gentleman in the tailcoat no longer had any doubts, leading the last of the students and professors to hasten their pace into the safety of the air-raid shelter.

Jiang Chen stayed outside, contending against the incessant tide of abyss monsters.

The abyss atmosphere, in swathes, got absorbed by the Abyss Rune.

Lines of text also flitted before his eyes.
