Chapter 335 Server 3: Specializing in High-Level Matches
Thanks to Riley's spare time and personal interest in teaching District 13 agents the standard "three-three" offensive formation—forward assault, flank cover, and rear support advancing in layers—the first wave of sandstorm impact was entirely absorbed by the forwards and some flank members.
Meanwhile, the agents positioned further back and on the other flank were mostly unharmed, enough to quickly establish a new firepower network.
Therefore, the formation changed the instant the captain gave the order!
The agents positioned at the rear of the formation moved with the speed of cheetahs.
Several agents dispersed and retrieved pre-hidden grenade launchers from various unexpected locations.
Before long, high-explosive grenades traced graceful arcs in the air and accurately struck the man's location.
With a violent explosion and a blazing fireball rising, the massive shockwave and intense heat instantly engulfed the area, shattering the giant sand palm that was about to re-form and deliver a fatal blow to the fallen agent into dust!
At the same time, several scorching tongues of fire shot out from the windows and roofs of the buildings on both sides!
The specially modified pressurized flamethrower sprayed out flames tens of meters long, like a roaring fire dragon, crisscrossing and covering the area where the man was standing!
The flames were so intense that the air in the area was visibly distorted. The surrounding vegetation rapidly withered and died. Even the asphalt beneath our feet began to sizzle and melt, emitting a pungent, acrid smell!
And so, flames and explosions intertwined, creating a death zone! The once-aggressive man was forcefully suppressed and forced to remain rooted to the spot!
"All lightly wounded soldiers who can still move, stand up! Take this opportunity to rush forward and rescue people! We absolutely cannot leave any of our brothers behind!"
Even though the tactics were effective, the squad leader in charge of the operation remained vigilant and did not let his guard down in the slightest. Instead, during the brief lull in the men's offensive, he decisively issued new orders via the communication channel.
Almost instantly after the command was given, the combat machine known as "District Thirteen" started operating efficiently once again!
The agents, who had been thrown back or temporarily troubled by the sand but were out of danger, endured their discomfort and quickly strode forward. Working in groups of three or four, they helped each other drag the fallen shield-wielding agents away from the front lines of the battlefield.
In order to eliminate concerns about "accidentally injuring teammates" and ensure that teammates who take turns fighting can maximize their firepower output without any worries!
"You've really angered me—!!!"
However, just when the situation seemed to be gradually stabilizing and tilting towards District 13.
Under the pressure of being suppressed, the man, who should have died on the spot in the face of such multiple barrages of fire, suddenly let out a muffled roar that seemed to come from the depths of purgatory amidst the raging inferno!
Admittedly, the series of explosions did cause the man's superpowers to collapse momentarily.
The intense heat of the flames also caused the outermost layer of sand to quickly turn black and vitrify, effectively limiting his ability to use it.
However, this is far from enough to kill or severely injure the man in front of you!
Thus, accompanied by a roar, a scene of utter despair unfolded...
The area where the man was standing...
No, the ground of the entire block began to tremble violently without warning!
In his rage, the man pushed his superpowers to their limit.
From deep underground, beneath the asphalt pavement.
From the gaps between the bricks and stones of the sidewalk.
From the green belts on both sides of the street.
Even from further away, at the sand dunes of the construction site.
And the sandpit in the park, which should have been used for children to play...
Tons of seemingly endless grains of sand were brought under the man's control in the blink of an eye!
Like loyal soldiers responding to a king's command, or like iron filings drawn to a giant magnet, they transformed into countless surging, brownish-yellow streams, defying gravity and rising into the air. Like the ocean embracing all rivers, they rushed madly towards the figure at the center of the flames!
"Hiss hiss hiss—!"
The sand shell, which had been scorched by high temperatures, was quickly covered, cooled, and replaced by a massive influx of new sand!
From this moment on, the sand body, which had been compressed and curled up, began to expand and reshape itself at a visible speed, like an inflating balloon!
The flames that had initially gained the upper hand were forcibly extinguished by the massive accumulation of sand! The smoke and impact of the explosion were also swallowed up by this terrifying sandstorm!
Finally, under the stunned gazes of the District 13 agents…
Just a few breaths later, a truly colossal creature rose from the ground!
It was no longer an enlarged version of the human form, but more like an ancient colossus formed from billions of grains of sand, existing only in myths and legends!
Its height easily exceeded twenty meters.
Its enormous head alone is enough to be level with the three-story houses on both sides of the street!
Its incredibly thick limbs are entirely composed of churning sand. Even a casual wave of its hand can create howling winds and cascading sand waterfalls!
Its "face" is blurry, with only two empty holes in what could be called "eyes," gleaming with a gloomy and angry light.
After completing the second stage of transformation, the man descended like a god, looking down with a hint of contempt and disdain at the houses and vehicles below, which seemed as tiny as toys in comparison, and the District 13 agents who looked like ants and were now incredibly vulnerable!
A mere casual glance was enough to create an overwhelming sense of oppression that instantly enveloped the entire street and the hearts of every agent.
That has nothing to do with cowardice, but rather it is the fear and awe of giants that is etched into the blood of humankind!
"My God..."
This is why even the well-trained District 13 agents couldn't help but show some panic at this moment.
For example, an agent who was dragging a wounded soldier back instinctively stopped. Looking up at the sand giant, the pistol he had been using for self-defense slipped from his arm and hung limply at his side. His eyes widened, and he uttered a murmur almost in despair.
After all, even on ordinary days, Riley often joked that from now on, District 13 would only play "high-level games".
As Spider-Man's fame continues to grow, Sheriff Black, knowing that the enemies coming to cause trouble for Parker and his wife will become increasingly powerful, has been giving the agents of District 13 who are stationed nearby a lot of psychological preparation.
But when he actually witnessed the appearance of this monster, which was clearly beyond human capability to fight, the agent couldn't help but have this thought in mind.
"Me, an ordinary human being, going to fight a monster that's invulnerable to blades and bullets and stands twenty meters tall?"
"Really?!"
Of course, many of the District 13 agents did not give up. Instead, they gritted their teeth and continued to fire, trying to suppress the monster before them once again.
However, at this point, no matter what kind of attack—bullets, grenades, flames—hit this behemoth, it was like a pebble thrown into the ocean, causing only a few insignificant ripples, and having no real impact whatsoever. It couldn't even slow its movements!
