Just as the second rift started to go in motion, silently, without alarming anyone, an invisible spaceship appeared in the sky above the rupture.
“So the second one to open is this rift in Paris…” Mumbled the golden beauty while staring at the rift that was showing reactions from itself.
Listening to her voice, nodding his head, Virus replied, “Yeah… it seems America will be the last country to go through this crisis. Lucky for them, this should bring about a lot of advantages since they would be able to study and analyze the rifts a bit more and even prepare better after watching how France deals with them.”
As he talked to this point, the crack started to vomit a variety of creatures as two groups that were standing separately with some distance from each other became visible in everyone’s line of sight.
Unlike the previous time though, the first group only contained two types of monsters, five lion-headed spiders and five gigantic six-horned rhinoceroses.
Nevertheless, although the number of monsters in the first group was lesser than before, everyone clearly understood that dealing with this group was much harder than the last time.
Moreover, the second band accommodated six humanoid rabbits this time around. There were also no bat-winged frogs to be spotted anywhere.
Seeing this scene, every last bit of color disappeared from the faces of many soldiers present at the scene as they stared at their opponents with pale expressions.
“All troops, heed my command and start the bombardment at once!” Nevertheless, the next moment, a loud order was given as the area turned into a warzone promptly.
Fsss~
Boom~
Bang~
The next moment, helicopters sent rockets in the direction of the monsters, while the soldiers took a shot toward the spiders with their enhanced and advanced guns.
Soon, even fighter jets became visible in the distant sky as they launched one rocket after another toward their hideous targets.
This time though, the higher-ups in the French government had clearly learned their lesson as they had placed no soldiers near the crack so the monsters couldn’t directly start slaughtering them like chickens right after being discharged from the rift itself.

“Sir, we were hardly able to annihilate four spiders and two of the rhinoceroses after utilizing everything we’ve got… also, none of the red-flamed humanoid rabbits were harmed in the least since they just dodge everything easily…” Someone reported to the commander of this battle before adding further, “Also, the rough number of casualties from our side by now is estimated to be so far fifty-four deaths, a hundred and twenty-six gravely injured, twenty-seven lightly injured, six destroyed helicopters, four tanks, and there is even one fighter jet included in the list.” As the soldier was announcing the casualties, a clear sadness was apparent within his eyes.
“I see… so three rhinoceroses, one lion-headed spider, and all of the six humanoid bunnies remain unscathed…” With some beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, the commander uttered, “This is bad… why is the difference between the monsters that entered the Jeju island and here so much…sigh, how can our luck suck by this much!”
After deliberating for a short time, he continued, “Anyway, those rabbits should have already lowered their guards against us… so right now should be the best timing to counterattack. Promptly dispatch another batch of fighter jets to the zone and order all of them to lock their targets only on the humanoid rabbits… we need to at least annihilate three of them prior to releasing our Abnormals to the restricted area.”
“Yes, sir.” Saluting respectfully, the soldier in charge immediately began sending over the new round of commands to everyone.

Soon, another team of fighter jets arrived at the scene as they launched new types of rockets and missiles toward the rabbits.
Seeing another round of missiles thrown in their direction though, the humanoid rabbits seemed to be mockingly smirking toward the fighter jets as they simply jumped from their previous locations with the intention of wanting to dodge them with the least bit of effort.
However, while they were still in the air, just as they had assumed they were definitely entirely safe now, the missiles abruptly changed their directions as they followed after them!
Bang!
Boom~
Poof~
Just like that, as a consequence of them underestimating the missiles and the fighter jets, four of them were instantly annihilated as they exploded into their immediate deaths!
This in return alarmed the other remaining two humanoid rabbits as they realized their mistakes. This ensured that the remaining two rabbits would no longer fall into the same trap.
“Hmm… that was a smart strategy, to be honest…” Meanwhile, inside the invisible spaceship, Virus voiced while nodding his head.
Listening to her master’s sentence, the golden beauty who was already analyzing everything agreed with this view before proclaiming, “Yeah… they seem to have learned from Korea’s strategy too… first, they sent their army in order to deal as much damage as possible before employing their Abnormal team to the zone. Like this, they will definitely face the least amount of risk later on. In case they had released their Abnormals from the get-go though, not only they would’ve been overwhelmed by the sheer number of those monsters, that would’ve also resulted in them getting tired in the middle of the fight. To them, that means guaranteed death.”
“That’s not all since they were smart enough to not release their strongest cards from the beginning. At first, they concealed their more advanced missiles, making the humanoid rabbits underestimate humanity. And then, when they were certain the rabbits had lowered their guards against them, at the most crucial moment, they revealed those strong cards, sweeping the most powerful opponents in a single move.” She concluded as a bright light of understanding flashed through her eyes.
Satisfied with her scrutiny, nodding his head, Virus responded while wearing a pleased smile, “You were right on the point, Lil Belle. Actually, this is the best aspect of humanity… they keep learning and improving themselves as they face more difficulties in their path and life.” As he talked to this point, his mind went back to almost one and a half million years into the future as he rattled on further, “Although they have many lacking and pathetic aspects and weaknesses attached to themselves which degrades them to an even lower position than mere monkeys… I do admit when you put them together, they have access to the most overpowered trait, a passive trait I would like to call ‘unlimited growth’…”
As he chattered to this point, he went entirely quiet, but internally, he added another line to his previous statement as he wondered, ‘This is also one of the most important reasons why I chose this race and decided to create myself a true living human body in the first place.’
“So, master… it appears these people won’t be needing your assistance too, what should we do?” Seeing how the Abnormals’ might would probably suffice in dealing with the remaining monsters, a bit worried, the golden beauty queried.
Catching the meaning behind her words, an amused smirk became visible on Virus’ face as he answered back, “It’s okay… I have this feeling I’m going to be needed very much at the final rift.”
