Eight hundred-meter-long mechanical legs, like eight colossal pillars, plunged deep into the ravaged earth below.
Then.
Before the stunned eyes of all who watched.
The steel Giant Beast, tilted and half-embedded in the mountainside, moved.
Using its eight giant legs for support, it slowly, bit by bit, pushed its impossibly heavy, colossal body up and out of the shattered mountainside.
Countless tons of rock and dirt slid from its body, creating a waterfall of debris.
Sunlight once again illuminated its body, which had been buried for a century.
Its tilted frame was slowly righted through the coordinated movements of its eight mechanical legs.
Finally.
When its massive, cube-shaped body completely broke free from the mountain's embrace and stood steady upon the earth, the entire world seemed to fall deathly silent.
It stood quietly amidst the ruins of the valley, an eight-legged steel Giant Beast straight out of myth.
