God and Devil World - Chapter 731
Chapter 731: Counter-Attack!
“Attack?”
When Yue Zhong heard these words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the fog seemed to clear from his eyes.
Yue Zhong had always been a person who preferred to be on the offensive. However, due to the battle at the Xue Luo Forts being a defensive one, and the numbers of the Dino-Warriors being too many, his mindset had never been on the offensive, since it would mean death.
However, the situation was different now. The Xue Luo Fort had already fallen, with many Dino-Warriors now spread out in Cloud Region to slaughter the humans. No matter how big their numbers, when scattered throughout the vast Cloud Region, it would be impossible to reform and gather into that terrifying army outside the Fort. This was the only chance for the humans to retaliate.
Yue Zhong had just evacuated from the Xue Luo Forts and had always been on the defense. Thus, he had forgotten about the possibility of being on the offense. He was still human, after all, not an omnipotent god.
His eyes had a different glint in them now, and Luo Qing Qing, whose image was already radiant in his eyes, became even more dazzling, “Thank you, truly.”
Luo Qing Qing laughed coyly, “I can help to lead a troop and attack those damn lizards.”
Yue Zhong’s heart immediately relaxed a lot more, “I’ll have to trouble you then!”, before turning to his communicator, “Bai Yi! Support Luo Qing Qing fully, make sure she gets the resources she needs.”
Zheng Yan He was an outstanding defensive general. He knew the Forts like the back of his hand. As for Luo Qing Qing, she was termed as the Storm Queen, with her heaven-defying talents, she had been born to battle. Her combat abilities were extraordinary, and she adapted best in battle.
She laughed brightly in response, before turning around with a valiant aura and left, leaving Yue Zhong to gaze at her beautiful back.
As the Storm Queen, Luo Qing Qing’s position was similar to Yue Zhong, she naturally would not be in a subservient position, unlike his subjects.
Yue Zhong admired her leaving back for a while before his gaze turned resolute, and he left for the outdoor with big strides.
Soon, 4 fully equipped troops of 10,000 men charged out from the capital, galloping for the different parts of Cloud Region.
Although Yue Zhong had rescued over 100,000 elite soldiers from the Xue Luo Fort, most of them had been through many days of the unending assault. They were exhausted and needed the rest.
The capital also required many soldiers to guard, thus, Yue Zhong could only deploy about 40,000 soldiers.
Humans and Dino-Warriors were vastly different. The human soldiers required strict military training over a period of time to produce elite soldiers, whereas the foreign races had combat already in their DNA. The moment they matured, they were powerful warriors already.
Inside a village, where there were only rice and vegetable fields, a number of old farmers were going about their activities, while kids were playing out in the sun. The housewives were sewing clothes for their families, and it had a picturesque feel of a loving and warm village.
All of a sudden, a number of Velociraptor-Warriors jumped out of a forest near the village, their eyes bloodshot.
“What is that?!”
One farmer saw the sudden appearance of the Velociraptor-Warrior and could not help himself but take a step closer.
Inside Cloud Region, due to the hundreds of years of peace, the ordinary people had never seen the foreign races before.
The eyes of the 3 Velociraptor Warriors flashed dangerously. With a single leap, one disappeared from where he was and reappeared in front of the farmer, chomping down viciously.
At that instant, the farmer had huge chunks of flesh torn from him, fresh blood splattering everywhere.
“Ah!!! Monsters!!!”
The rest of the farmers felt their hair stand at this horrific scene and screamed as they fled in various directions.
The rest of the Velociraptors also quickly disappeared and charged right into the village.
Screams soon echoed out, as blood splattered everywhere. The village was soon turned into hell, as the Velociraptor-Warriors tore into the humans.
Outside the village, over hundreds and thousands of Velociraptors were charging for this human village.
The Velociraptor Warriors were naturally smaller in stature and their hind legs powerful, thus their speed was insane. Each time they attacked, it would be in droves and relying on their packs to hunt. They could only use such tactics to keep up with those larger and stronger Tyranno-Warriors.
“Attack!”
A cold order rang out, and immediately, beams of light shot out from various angles, blasting the Velociraptor Warriors.
Faced with this sudden ambush, many Velociraptors screamed out and turned around, intending to pounce towards those soldiers.
Unfortunately, the relentless beams turned many of them into sieves, their bodies crumpling to the ground.
After paying the price of hundreds of deaths, the remaining Velociraptor Warriors managed to charge into the camp.
At this moment, Luo Qing Qing appeared, decked in her Type 5 Battle Suit, single-handedly charging into their midst with her Battle Spear. Each time her spear lit up, the heads of the Velociraptor Warriors would blow up, fresh blood dying the ground.
Luo Qing Qing was like a valkyrie, standing her ground, and any Velociraptor Warrior that charged at her would be taken down without fail. Not a single one could cross her line.
After half an hour, this unit of 500 Velociraptor Warriors were all wiped out, leaving blood and dismembered corpses all over the ground.
Hai Xi stepped over the dead bodies, reporting, “Your Majesty, there are no more survivors inside the village!”
“Let’s go!” Luo Qing Qing sighed, turning around to leave.
Countless soldiers followed, heading for the next point.
At another part of Cloud Region, within the Lei Xi City, there were charred black bodies of Dino-Warriors, as a unit of Mech-Fighters were cleaning up the battlefield.
Yue Zhong stood outside the city, looking at the corpse, frowning deeply. He had led this army of Mech-Fighters to annihilate a 10,000-strong army of Dino-Warriors, but the rest of them were still pushing on slowly on the Capital. There did not seem to be any effect on them. Even with Yue Zhong going on a massacre, it did not affect the main Dino-Army.
If a unit of 10,000 humans were wiped out, it would be a disaster. But to the alliance of 16 Dino-Kingdoms, that number was nothing.
Emperor Ba Long also did not employ any particularly deep strategy. He just intended to use the sheer force of his military might to push towards the capital. This was a simple but effective tactic. Yue Zhong was already outnumbered, and there was no risk to this particular method.
“No, if this goes on, not to mention 1 day, we can’t even drag it out for an hour.”
Yue Zhong frowned, and stepped over the blood-red ground, deep in thoughts.
“Oh right! With their numbers, their food consumption must be astronomical. Even with the battle and consuming their comrades’ corpses, there has to be some sort of supply.”
All of a sudden, Yue Zhong’s eyes brightened. His body flashed as he hurried back towards the command center and asked Bai Yi, “Bai Yi, help me check if the Dino-army has some form of logistics support.”
Although they had retreated, in order to gain intel, Yue Zhong had released numerous electronic flies and dragonflies as well as other miniscule robotic lifeforms as Bai Yi’s eyes and ears throughout the region.
It was because of them that Yue Zhong could accurately grasp the direction with the Dino-army was moving, and avoid their main force, hunting the smaller units.
“Understood!”
Upon receiving Yue Zhong’s order, Bai Yi’s eyes flashed with data, swiftly performing her calculations.
The numerous robotic lifeforms throughout Cloud Region were quickly activated and flew out to gather the information.
Bai Yi then swiftly projected out a display in front of Yue Zhong, “We’ve discovered the location of the logistics.”
Yue Zhong saw the display and finally heaved a sigh of relief, “That’s great, we can finally cause those buggers some trouble.”
With that, the Mech-Fighters immediately moved out under Bai Yi’s control, quickly searching for the next target to eliminate.
Bai Yi had her own sentience, and as long as Yue Zhong gave the order, she would be able to control the Mech-Fighters to search for Dino-Warriors to hunt automatically.
If it was not for the necessity to guard the Capital, allowing for a wide-scale evacuation, Yue Zhong would definitely throw all the Mech-Fighters into the fray, and hunt the Dino-Warriors.
About 50km south of the Xue Luo Forts, a number of huge Diplodocuses were dragging mountain-like vehicles behind them. There were 80,000 Velociraptor-Warriors on their mounts riding alongside the procession, eyeing their surroundings warily. This procession was about a few kilometers long, looking extremely ferocious.
There were also 15 Mid-Grade Dino-Generals among them. Out on the field, no other force could possibly be a match for this unit.
As this was at the back of all the forces, and due to their large numbers, the Dino-Warriors could not help but relax a little, without the intention to search.
Behind a sand dune, Yue Zhong looked at the passing army and ordered coldly, “Do it!!”
All of a sudden, clouds of dust rolled by, and 500 tanks escorted by 6,000 soldiers on enhanced motorcycles appeared.
Chapter 732: Annihilating 80,000 Velociraptor Warriors!
The 500 tanks began to fire, with multiple bursts of light. The impact and explosions Dino-Warriors and blasted many of them apart.
“Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!”
A sharp scream rang out among the Velociraptor Warriors.
The Velociraptors on their mounts did not panic when being attacked. Instead, their eyes turned bloodshot and they urged their mounts forward as they howled out in rage, charging towards the 500 energy tanks.
The difference between these Velociraptor Warriors and humans were that they were ferocious and savage in nature, even when attacked, they would not lose their morale and flee.
The running speed of those Velociraptors was extremely fast, reaching the sound barrier. Even with a Velociraptor Warrior riding on them, their speed exceeded those bulky, energy tanks with their thick hulls and defense.
80,000 Velociraptor Warriors joined hands to launch an assault, such a number was extremely terrifying. The Velociraptor Warriors had claws 30 cm-long, and they could easily tear through the hulls of the energy tanks. Even if there were 500 of them, when faced with these Velociraptor Warriors, their outcome would be being torn apart.
The laser vehicles around the tanks also began to fire out multiple beams, killing numerous Velociraptor Warriors. However, it did little to impede their advance.
Right at this time, Yue Zhong stepped forward in front of everybody. With a thought, he channeled the Summon Tamed Beast skill, and a huge tear appeared in mid-air. The monstrous Type 5 Mount Tai stepped out, shocking everybody.
The moment Mount Tai appeared, with a huge flick of its powerful and large tail, it swept into the Velociraptor Warriors, directly smashing many of them into meat pulp.
Due to the sudden strike, 2 Type 5 Velociraptor Warriors had not enough time to react from their charge and were thus flattened as well, dying miserable deaths.
After killing over a hundred Dino-Warriors with a single blow, Mount Tai then charged forward. As it galloped, its huge tail would swing from left to right, smashing numerous Dino-Warriors into meat paste.
When the Velociraptor Warriors slammed into Mount Tai’s body, they were like eggs smashed against rocks, bursting apart, or being crushed underneath it.
More and more of them were being smashed by Mount Tai, while the remaining that got past it were taken out by the energy tanks and laser mounted vehicles.
One Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior roared out, “Type 5 Mutant Beast!! It is a Type 5 Mutant Beast!! Get some distance and finish it!!”
A single Type 5 Mutant Beast was terrifying enough to wipe out a battalion by itself, but it was not without any weaknesses. Most of the time, it was the lack of intelligence, the other was that huge Type 5 Mutant Beasts usually lost out in the speed department.
“Your chance is over!”
At the moment the Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior was preparing to retreat, Yue Zhong appeared right in front of him in all his Type 5 Battle Suit and Dark Dou Qi, sending a powerful punch towards him.
The Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior had no way of sensing Yue Zhong in his Third Order Stealth, and when faced with this sudden strike, he was caught unprepared, and the fist smashed into his head.
Peng!
Following a loud boom, the head of the Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior burst open, fresh blood spraying everywhere. A huge amount of life force entered Yue Zhong’s body.
Noting that he had killed the Type 5 Velociraptor with a single hit, Yue Zhong felt excited, “I’ve truly become stronger once again!!”
Although the Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior was one of the weaker Dino-Races, to humans, they were still a frightening existence. Yet, such a freak was killed by Yue Zhong in a hit, thus, he relished in the reality of his enhanced strength.
“Damn human! You dare to kill our men!! I will tear you apart limb from limb!!”
Another Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior roared with rage, and with a tap of his foot, the ground beneath him split. He disappeared from his location, wrapped with white Radiance of Life, as he tried to slash at Yue Zhong.
“Foul creature, scram for me!!”
Yue Zhong channeled his Dark Dou Qi, and with a bellow of rage, his fist shot out like thunder, smashing into the claws of the Type 5 Velociraptor.
With the enhancement of the Fifth Order Dark Dou Qi, Yue Zhong’s fist could topple even mountains.
The Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior had the bones in his arm broken at the point of contact, blood flowing down from his shoulder.
He yelped in shock and disbelief, “How is this possible? You’re just a human, how can your strength possibly be greater than mine??”
Among experts of the same realm, humans were considered the weakest. This was common knowledge among the foreign races, and the Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior could not believe that he would be at the short end of this exchange.
Yue Zhong’s eyes flashed with a fierce glint, shooting forward and sending another fist at the Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior, smashing his head like a watermelon, “Beast, go ask your questions down in hell!!”
With the death of the Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior, another bout of life force flowed into Yue Zhong through the God and Devil Imprint.
Yue Zhong felt like an undefeatable war god now, and he directly charged into the midst of the Velociraptor Warriors and started a massacre.
7 Type 4 Velociraptor Warriors tried to surround Yue Zhong. With a flash of his body, he transformed into a beam of light that shot past the 7 of them. In an instant, their chests all erupted in showers of blood, and their corpses crumpled to the ground.
Another Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior rushed at Yue Zhong with an unresigned fury, unfortunately, in a few breaths, he had been killed with his body mangled, and his Life Force absorbed by Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong’s speed was truly terrifying, and his speed of killing was even more so. Before the Type 5 Velociraptor Warriors could react, he had already reached most of them and directly obliterated them with his fists.
One on one, Yue Zhong could now easily kill a Type 5 Velociraptor Warrior, however, dealing with 3 of them at the same time would still be dangerous.
Mount Tai continued to rampage through the horde of Velociraptor Warriors, scattering the army. In the midst of the chaos, Yue Zhong continued to take out the Type 5 Velociraptor Warriors.
After dozens of them had been killed by Yue Zhong, there were no more entities left to threaten the Type 5 Mount Tai. It continued to smash around unhindered, flattening many of the lower-rank Velociraptor Warriors into meat paste.
Behind Mount Tai, the 500 energy tank, as well as the laser mounted vehicles, also blasted out with their weapons, taking out the Velociraptor Warriors at a rapid pace.
At the same time, Mount Tai suddenly let out a powerful roar, which instigated the other Diplodocuses that had been used as carriage beasts to turn on their old masters. They charged right at them, stepping on them and smashing the helpless Velociraptor Warriors with their tails.
The intense battle continued for 3 hours, and the initial 80,000-strong army was reduced to barely a few thousand. The rest of them had been killed.
On Yue Zhong’s side, he had lost 20 energy tanks, 500 laser-mounted motorcycles. Mount Tai had also suffered multiple injuries, with claw marks everywhere. However, under its powerful regeneration, the wounds quickly healed.
After wiping out this 80,000-strong army, Yue Zhong came to the huge carriages pulled by those Diplodocuses. He tore off the simple cloth cover from one of them.
Within the carriage, there were multiple stacks of dried Mutant Beast meat. On top of that, there were also thousands of human and other foreign races corpses. Evidently, these were to be used to feed the Mutant Beasts that the Dino-Warriors reared.
Yue Zhong scanned through the supplies carefully, noting many of the corpses had broken limbs and mangled bodies. They were likely the bodies from the battle at the Xue Luo Forts. These foreign races and vassal forces were merely rations to the cruel Dino-Warriors.
As they opened up the rest, they discovered even more corpses of the foreign races. It was a chilling sight.
“Burn them all.”
Under Yue Zhong’s orders, the carriages were set on fire, and the huge amount of food supplies were turned to ashes.
Just then, Shao Yun came up to Yue Zhong excitedly, “Leader!! We discovered some things inside the carriages in front!”
“This is a Type 6 nuclei. This is some data?”
After Yue Zhong opened the box, he discovered that there was a Type 6 nuclei within, as well as a memory unit.
Yue Zhong plugged the memory unit into a handheld computer and asked Bai Yi, “This should be something good. Bai Yi, can you scan and tell me what is stored in here?”
Bai Yi’s eyes flashed with data before replying swiftly, “There’s a blueprint for the design of the human combat suit within. It is an advanced blueprint design from the God and Devil System, and all the combat suits we have seen are simple, crude versions of the original prototype.”
“If we can manufacture this advanced Battle Suit according to the designs, it can accept any nuclei of Type 9 and below. However, there’s a flaw in the suit. That is, there has to be a suitable user, with at least 80% compatibility. Otherwise, there is no way to utilize the suit in combat.”
Chapter 733: The Battle at Imperial Capital!
When Yue Zhong heard this, he frowned, “Compatibility requirements? No wonder it was simplified.”
To humans, an equipment that could be manufactured and used on a large scale was the best thing. If there was no way to utilize it, then there was no use in producing a powerful equipment.
Yue Zhong asked Bai Yi, “With our current technology, are we able to manufacture this?”
Bai Yi replied, “If we can bring all the technology back from the capital to Earth, we will be able to produce such an equipment. If we were to use what is available on Earth, then it would take at least 20 years to produce this Battle Suit.”
Yue Zhong could not help but be overjoyed at his opportunity to come to the Third World. As long as he could bring them all to Earth successfully, his faction on Earth would gain a huge boon.
“Let’s set off, our battle is not yet over!”
Yue Zhong kept the Type 6 nucleus carefully, before leading the army further to attack the reinforcements and back support of the Dino-Army.
About 1,000 km away from the Imperial City in Cloud Region, there was a huge camp set up, within one of the tents, all the upper echelons of the Dino-Army had gathered, facing the tyrannical and oppressive Emperor Ba Long.
One Type 6 Dino-General reported to Emperor Ba Long, “Your Majesty, we have suffered an ambush from the humans, and our back-end has lost over 150,000 soldiers, as well as numerous supplies. Based on the current reserves we have, we can only last for another 3 more days. After that, we will have no more food.”
The Dino-Warriors were incredibly savage and ferocious, but required a huge amount of food as well. One can only imagine the food requirement for an army over a million in size.
It was because of this that the Dino-race had prepared for so long and gathered supplies before launching an assault on the Xue Luo Forts, successfully crushing them.
After successfully invading Cloud Region, many of them scattered, and began to hunt the humans and other lifeforms in order to lighten the pressure.
Emperor Ba Long replied coldly, “3 days eh? I’ve been careless. To think the humans would have such guts to attack us.”
Another Type 6 Dino-General asked, “Your Majesty, should we stop the advance?”
Emperor Ba Long shook his head and spoke coldly, “Kong Lie Feng, go take your troops and push your vassal forces towards the capital. Kong Yi Xun, Kong Hui, Kong Bao Xian, the 3 of you shall lead 500,000 units back and wipe out those damn humans. Protect our supplies. The rest of the units shall hunt freely for a day.”
“Yes!”
Under his orders, the Dino-army mobilized and moved out in different directions.
Near the Xue Luo Fort, there were multiple blazes, as numerous carriages were set aflame and burnt to ashes.
“They’ve finally moved!” Yue Zhong saw the incoming Dino-army and frowned.
Any number of troops diverted away from the main force to deal with Yue Zhong’s supply-hunting troops would mean less pressure at the Capital.
“It’s time to retreat as well! Bai Yi!”
Yue Zhong barked out lowly, and the huge Storm Battleship came swooping down.
The hundreds of energy tanks and thousands of laser mounted vehicles quickly boarded the Battleship.
Soon, the Battleship rose into the air again, and made for the direction of the Imperial Capital.
A part of the enemy’s forces had been diverted to protect the supplies line. Yue Zhong’s objective had been met, he had to refocus his efforts in defending the Capital now. As long as he could hold out for another 3 days, it would be his victory.
Since a huge portion of their resources had been destroyed, the Dino-Warriors on the back end could not sit still any longer. Over hundreds of thousands of Dino-Warriors were already on their way towards the back, led by Type 6 Dino-Generals. If Yue Zhong wanted to defeat the enemy, it would require a painful price.
Outside the Capital, numerous foreign races warriors were charging with bloodlust at the Capital, under the influence of the war drums.
The City Wall of the Capital had been commissioned by Wei Ming Qing, built with countless resources and wealth. Its defense was even more powerful than the Xue Luo Forts. However, due to the civil war, the wall had already suffered some damage. Many areas had been blasted wide open by the energy missiles, and even the Raytheon Cannon had fired a shot at it. Therefore, the defense was much weaker now.
Even so, the City Wall was still equipped with countless automated weapons, as well as Prism Laser Cannons.
Under the relentless attacks of the lasers and cannons, droves of foreign soldiers were blasted apart.
“These are the foreign soldiers that breached the Xue Luo Forts? Truly terrifying! His Majesty and the rest had been battling against these monsters?” On the city wall, Liu Tai looked at all these aggressive monsters that had no care for their own lives, and felt a chill in his heart.
If it had been the human race, the moment the casualty rate reached 30%, they would have lost their fighting spirit and morale. However, these vassal forces were different, unless they died in battle, they would be attacking relentlessly.
The battle at the Capital was different from that at the Xue Luo Fort. Among the huge numbers of foreign soldiers, many fearsome Dino-Warriors were mixed in as well.
Each of the Dino-Warriors were wielding human-made electromagnetic cannons, laser guns, and energy weapons to attack. They fired continuously at the automatic defenses.
After the Dino-Warriors breached the 20 Xue Luo Forts, they had looted numerous weapons and equipment from the human corpses and Forts. Having a certain level of intelligence, they swiftly learnt how to utilized the weapons and used them against the human soldiers.
Multiple beams fired out from the foreign forces, targeting the automatic weapons on the city wall.
At the same time, from a distance away, some Type 5 expert appeared with powerful-looking bows and arrows, firing out the arrows at the city wall as well.
Numerous Prism Laser Cannons extended out from the city wall, firing out at the Type 5 experts, blowing them up.
Huge droves of Pterosaurs, Archaeopteryx as well as Sinosauropteryx that had grown wings soared through the skies, bearing Dino-Warriors on their backs.
Among them, many of them had the ability to control the wind, and countless wind blades were summoned and shot out at the Prism Laser Cannons.
Under the assault of the wind blades, many of the Prism Laser Cannons were directly smashed and turned into rubble.
At the same time, the Dino-Warriors atop the mounts leaped down from the skies, directly charging to the top of the city walls, trying to destroy everything.
This time, the Dino-Army were throwing all their forces into the fray from the get go.
Due to their attacks, many of the automatic defenses and Mech-Fighters were destroyed. Even the human soldiers hiding behind cover were not spared, with over 500 casualties.
In the evening, the assault had not yet stopped, braving the hundreds of energy cannons and rocket launchers to mount another volley of attacks.
In front of the capital city wall, the beams illuminated the skies, with rockets and missiles exploding every once in a while. The energy cannons also fired without stop, shooting the aerial beasts down.
Hundreds and thousands of foreign races and Dino-warriors had perished since the start of the battle, with their corpses littered all over the ground in front of the city wall.
The battle continued through the night, before light finally broke.
Behind their cover, Liu Tai’s eyes were bloodshot as he eyed the neverending droves of foreign soldiers and Dino-warriors, and shock filled his heart, “Is this the battle tactic of the Dino-army? Truly fearsome!! His Majesty and the rest had to fend this off for more than a month?! Unbelievable.”
After just one day of such a cruel and intense battle, the human soldiers were all exhausted, their mental state stretched. Their combat efficiency also dropped drastically.
Fighting against those monsters, they did not even have a sliver of time to rest. The moment they let up, those foreign soldiers would be able to breach past the fire net and reach the wall, destroying anything they could.
Zheng Yan He was experienced and well-prepared, the moment there was sunlight, he quickly assigned 10,000 new troops to the battlefield, taking over the exhausted ones.
“If things go on like this, we should be able to hold out for 2 days!”
At a high location within the capital, Yue Zhong was wielding his Electromagnetic Cannon, firing and killing Dino-Warriors with every single shot. He eyed the waves of foreign soldiers and heaved a sigh.
As long as they could hold out for another 2 days, then all the citizens of the Imperial City would finish transferring into the 2nd World. At that time, it did not matter if they had to give up the Imperial City.
At the moment that Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a sharp howl from the direction of the Dino-Warriors. Instantly, all the Dino-Warriors began to retreat.
Yue Zhong looked at them with suspicion and doubt, “What’s going on?”
With the powerful defenses of the Imperial City, if they didn’t send out a Type 7 expert, it was impossible to breach the city in 2 days.
Even then, Yue Zhong could utilize the Storm Battleship to fire the Raytheon Cannon to heavily injure the Type 7 expert. However, to think that they actually called for a sudden retreat, Yue Zhong could not help but worry.
Chapter 734: The Battle at Imperial Capital!
When Yue Zhong heard this, he frowned, “Compatibility requirements? No wonder it was simplified.”
To humans, an equipment that could be manufactured and used on a large scale was the best thing. If there was no way to utilize it, then there was no use in producing a powerful equipment.
Yue Zhong asked Bai Yi, “With our current technology, are we able to manufacture this?”
Bai Yi replied, “If we can bring all the technology back from the capital to Earth, we will be able to produce such an equipment. If we were to use what is available on Earth, then it would take at least 20 years to produce this Battle Suit.”
Yue Zhong could not help but be overjoyed at his opportunity to come to the Third World. As long as he could bring them all to Earth successfully, his faction on Earth would gain a huge boon.
“Let’s set off, our battle is not yet over!”
Yue Zhong kept the Type 6 nucleus carefully, before leading the army further to attack the reinforcements and back support of the Dino-Army.

It was because of this that the Dino-race had prepared for so long and gathered supplies before launching an assault on the Xue Luo Forts, successfully crushing them.
After successfully invading Cloud Region, many of them scattered and began to hunt the humans and other lifeforms in order to lighten the pressure.
Emperor Ba Long replied coldly, “3 days eh? I’ve been careless. To think the humans would have such guts to attack us.”
Another Type 6 Dino-General asked, “Your Majesty, should we stop the advance?”
Emperor Ba Long shook his head and spoke coldly, “Kong Lie Feng, go take your troops and push your vassal forces towards the capital. Kong Yi Xun, Kong Hui, Kong Bao Xian, the 3 of you shall lead 500,000 units back and wipe out those damn humans. Protect our supplies. The rest of the units shall hunt freely for a day.”
“Yes!”
Under his orders, the Dino-army mobilized and moved out in different directions.
Near the Xue Luo Fort, there were multiple blazes, as numerous carriages were set aflame and burnt to ashes.
“They’ve finally moved!” Yue Zhong saw the incoming Dino-army and frowned.

Numerous Prism Laser Cannons extended out from the city wall, firing out at the Type 5 experts, blowing them up.
Huge droves of Pterosaurs, Archaeopteryx as well as Sinosauropteryx that had grown wings soared through the skies, bearing Dino-Warriors on their backs.
Among them, many of them had the ability to control the wind, and countless wind blades were summoned and shot out at the Prism Laser Cannons.
Under the assault of the wind blades, many of the Prism Laser Cannons were directly smashed and turned into rubble.
At the same time, the Dino-Warriors atop the mounts leaped down from the skies, directly charging to the top of the city walls, trying to destroy everything.
This time, the Dino-Army were throwing all their forces into the fray from the get go.
Due to their attacks, many of the automatic defenses and Mech-Fighters were destroyed. Even the human soldiers hiding behind cover were not spared, with over 500 casualties.
In the evening, the assault had not yet stopped, braving the hundreds of energy cannons and rocket launchers to mount another volley of attacks.
In front of the capital city wall, the beams illuminated the skies, with rockets and missiles exploding every once in a while. The energy cannons also fired without stop, shooting the aerial beasts down.
Hundreds and thousands of foreign races and Dino-warriors had perished since the start of the battle, with their corpses littered all over the ground in front of the city wall.
The battle continued through the night before daylight finally broke.
Behind their cover, Liu Tai’s eyes were bloodshot as he eyed the neverending droves of foreign soldiers and Dino-warriors, and shock filled his heart, “Is this the battle tactic of the Dino-army? Truly fearsome!! His Majesty and the rest had to fend this off for more than a month?! Unbelievable.”
After just one day of such a cruel and intense battle, the human soldiers were all exhausted, their mental state stretched. Their combat efficiency also dropped drastically.
Fighting against those monsters, they did not even have a sliver of time to rest. The moment they let up, those foreign soldiers would be able to breach past the fire net and reach the wall, destroying anything they could.
Zheng Yan He was experienced and well-prepared, the moment there was sunlight, he quickly assigned 10,000 new troops to the battlefield, taking over the exhausted ones.
“If things go on like this, we should be able to hold out for 2 days!”
At a high location within the capital, Yue Zhong was wielding his Electromagnetic Cannon, firing and killing Dino-Warriors with every single shot. He eyed the waves of foreign soldiers and heaved a sigh.
As long as they could hold out for another 2 days, then all the citizens of the Imperial City would finish transferring into the 2nd World. At that time, it did not matter if they had to give up the Imperial City.
At the moment that Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a sharp howl from the direction of the Dino-Warriors. Instantly, all the Dino-Warriors began to retreat.
Yue Zhong looked at them with suspicion and doubt, “What’s going on?”
With the powerful defenses of the Imperial City, if they didn’t send out a Type 7 expert, it was impossible to breach the city in 2 days.
Even then, Yue Zhong could utilize the Storm Battleship to fire the Raytheon Cannon to heavily injure the Type 7 expert. However, to think that they actually called for a sudden retreat, Yue Zhong could not help but worry.
Chapter 735: The Seeds of Division!
The Dino-Warriors had not retreated far behind, when there was a movement from their ranks, as they split in the middle.
A number of humans walked out with projectors.
Then, the beams shot out, forming a 10m-tall image of Luo Yi.
Luo Yi spoke loudly, “How do you do people. I’m Luo Yi, the new King of Cloud Country that Emperor Ba Long has kindly appointed. As long as everybody can fulfill Emperor Ba Long’s single condition, His Majesty is willing to leave Cloud Region, and sign a peace treaty with us!!”
Luo Yi’s voice resounded from the various amplifying equipment, traveling in all directions. All the soldiers within the city heard the words, and everyone jolted.
The Dino-Warriors and their vassal forces were extremely strong, this was something all the human soldiers could see. Any single one of them could tear apart dozens of the humans. Furthermore, humans were naturally fearful of death, hence, they were unwilling to continue fighting.
Luo Yi spoke, “The great Emperor Ba Long has announced, as long as you guys hand over Yue Zhong to him, he will take Yue Zhong and leave with his troops.”
“Yue Zhong?!”
“It’s His Majesty?”
“…”
Hearing Luo Yi’s words, all the soldiers on the city wall felt waves in their hearts. There were even some officers with strange thoughts at this moment.
Within the Capital, most of the guards were not exactly Yue Zhong’s subordinates, instead, most of them had been ex-captives that surrendered. They were naturally not loyal to him.
Luo Yi continued to persuade, “Listen to me everybody, Yue Zhong is a disaster. The moment he came to our Cloud Region, he slaughtered Emperor Wei Ming Qing. Now, he attracted the Dino-Race here. As long as he turns himself in, our Cloud Region would have a future. The great Emperor Ba Long has spoken, as long as you hand over Yue Zhong, everyone can live. If not, after they breach the city, none will be left alive.”
Luo Yi barked, “This time, in order to invade Cloud Region, there are a total of 27 Dino-Kingdoms participating. We definitely cannot withstand this. Yue Zhong, if you are a man, you will step out to sacrifice yourself for the sake of…”
Before he could finish, Yue Zhong ordered with a cold look, “Destroy him!”
The Prism Laser Cannons adjusted their aim and in an instant, countless beams shot out, destroying the projector and equipment.
Yue Zhong frowned deeply and sighed, “Shit. I miscalculated. I thought I could buy time. Seems like things are going to become troublesome.”
The Dino-race had always viewed humans as livestock to be killed. Any form of resistance was dealt with violently and swiftly. This had forced all the humans to band together to resist them.
Now, they were actually resorting to a government, supporting some humans to form their own faction. By doing this, it would allow some of the weaker-willed people to have a choice in surrendering.
This was a venomous tactic by Emperor Ba Long. By burying the seeds of doubt and division among the humans, when things reached a boiling point, some of them would then cease resisting, some might even raise their weapons against their own kind in order to survive.
After the projectors were destroyed, the human crowd split up, with numerous old people, women, and children carrying sandbags running forward towards the city wall.
“Open the gates!!”
“Save us please!!”
“Help us, please help us!!”
“Open the gates and let us in!!! Aren’t we fellow humans?!”
“…”
The humans who were forced towards the gates of the Capital began to scream out as they rushed forward. Each of them was carrying mini amplifiers, their shrill voices broadcasted throughout the city.
Among these weak survivors running forwards, there were some Dino-Warriors mixed in. They were intending to use the humans as shields to launch an attack on the city wall, destroying the automated defenses.
“Beast!!”
“Shameless!! They’re too shameless!! These damn beasts!!”
“Damn it! Damn it!!! These motherfuckers!!”
“…”
Within the wall, the human soldiers witnessed this and their eyes turned bloodshot, their fists clenched. They were filled with incomparable grief and indignation but were helpless at the same time.
Facing those frail old people, weak and skinny women, as well as the innocent and immature children, the Iron-Blood Warriors were unable to make a move. They were afraid that if their hands trembled, they might accidentally open fire on them.
On the wall, Yue Zhong’s eyes were also bloodshot, his killing intent soaring through the roof. He sent out a punch at the wall, “Beasts!!”
Although his strength had reached the peak of Type 5, in this situation, there were limitations to what he could do.
Inside the command center, Zheng Yan He looked at the humans out there being treated as cannon fodder and sighed in sadness. His eyes flashed with a momentary pain before they regained their resolution, and he ordered the only logical order they could, “Fire!”
Under Zheng Yan He’s order, the energy cannons that had stopped fired out once more. Under that relentless volley, many of the humans and Dino-Warriors alike were blasted into smithereens.
The Mech-Fighters and automated weapons began to fire as well. Countless beams fired upon the group below, killing both the humans and Dino-Warriors.
“Beast!!”
“Flee!!!”
“…”
When the human soldiers saw how their fellow men have blown apart under the merciless firepower, their gazes were filled with sorrow, as they cried out.
It was not because they were not brave, but because they had compassion, and were helpless.
Cloud Region had enjoyed peace for countless years, this battle had opened the eyes of these soldiers to the cruelty of war once again.
In the Dino-Army camp, Emperor Ba Long saw the group of humans and Dino-Warriors obliterated and sighed, “Did we fail? Those humans defending are truly hard to deal with.”
If Zheng Yan He had allowed them to get close because of pity or sympathy, then the Dino-Warriors would be able to clear the city wall with greater ease.
When that happens, Emperor Ba Long would then make use of his overwhelming advantage in numbers to steamroll over the defense.
The intense battle continued for another day, and the exhausted soldiers were swapped out, and another batch of soldiers was deployed in their place.
When those soldiers retreated, Luo Yi’s words were also passed around.
Inside a meeting room, the 4 leaders of the Great Clans gathered once more.
Dou Meng spoke softly, “What do you guys think?”
Zhao Zheng had a glint in his eyes, “From Luo Yi’s words, we can assume that the target of the Dino-race is only Yue Zhong himself. If he was handed over, then after Emperor Ba Long gets what he wants, he should call off the assault. After all, with their strength, and their combined forces, they should have already wiped us out long ago.”
Lu Yi fell silent before suddenly saying, “Shall we take this chance to take out Yue Zhong?”
The moment his words came out, everyone fell silent.
Although it seemed that Yue Zhong had gained control over all the military on the surface, the 4 Great Clans were, after all, long-time snakeheads of these parts. Their roots extended out far and wide. If they were to go all out, it was possible to incite a large-scale rebellion.
Furthermore, there was the situation of the Dino-army invasion, if the 4 Great Clans were to create trouble, their chances of success would not be small.
Dou Meng pondered for a long while, before finally saying, “No. Yue Zhong is too strong. If we were to rebel now, our 4 Great Clans would only perish. Furthermore, the Dino-race are a foreign race, after all, their savagery and viciousness know no boundaries. Who knows if they will keep their word. We should continue to help Yue Zhong and leave this world.”
The other 3 heads pondered and in the end, agreed with Dou Meng’s suggestion.
With no strange movements from the 4 Great Clans, the rest of the people within the Capital also continued to push forth the migration.
After holding out for an entire day, Yue Zhong then deployed 150,000 Mech-Fighters into the battle, replacing all the human soldiers, while conducting a large-scale evacuation for the human soldiers.
Once all the human soldiers retreated, the Capital was able to hold out for one more day, before being destroyed by the Dino-Army.
The outer city wall then exploded madly, consuming over 20,000 of the Dino-Warriors.
By the time the explosion settled, the Dino-Army swiftly occupied the city and began their hunt for the humans.
After 2 days, Emperor Ba Long appeared in the mysterious valley, staring at the ancient and primordial Gate of Hell with a fixed gaze.
“This is the Gate of Hell!! They have already used this to leave this world!!”
Emperor Ba Long’s face fell, as he reached out to grab at the gate.
At the moment his right hand touched the gate, a black energy seeped out from the Gate of Hell and coiled around his right hand.
In an instant, Emperor Ba Long’s right hand suddenly seemed to have passed through 10,000 years, instantly withering, and losing signs of life. In the end, it crumbled into dust.
Emperor Ba Long’s face turned, and he quickly retreated backward, looking warily at the Gate of Hell, “The time is not yet ripe! Our race cannot pass through the Gate of Hell yet. However, it’s soon. Once it opens, it cannot close. Yue Zhong, I will retrieve your head one day, your God and Devil Imprint will be mine!!”
Chapter 736: Ghost City!
It was bleak everywhere, without any signs of green. The sky was downcast and there was no sunlight. This was the 2nd World.
Ghost City was an important interchange, with the human population reaching 300,000.
At a particular arena within the city, over tens of thousands of people had gathered, their attention fixed on the center of the stage, shouting loudly.
There was a human soldier wielding a huge ax, while facing him was a 3m-tall Irradiated Devil, whose body was covered in boils and sharp, protruding bones.
“Kill him!!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
“…”
Inside the arena, the screams and cheers of the people could be heard.
The Irradiated Devil’s eyes flashed with a vicious glint. With a tap of his food, he charged towards the human soldier with a bloodthirsty aura.
The human was like an agile monkey, deftly routing to the side, successfully getting behind the Irradiated Devil. He then swung down viciously on the back of the monster, slicing apart his body, and a huge amount of black blood splattered out from the Irradiated Devil.
With an enraged scream, the boils on his back began to burst, and dark, black pus landed on the face of the human soldier.
The soldier’s face was splattered with the pus, and immediately it began to corrode his face, causing multiple sizzling holes.
“Ah!!!”
The human soldier screamed out miserably, his hands grabbing his face as he thrashed about in pain and agony.
At this time, the Irradiated Devil reached out with both hands, grabbing the human soldier, and pulled apart with a burst of strength. The human soldier was torn in two.
Blood and innards spilled out everywhere, looking extremely gory.
“Haha!! Well done!!”
“Trash!! To think I bet on you!!”
“…”
Among the audience, some were screaming excitedly, while others cursed and swore, having bet on the outcome.
Inside the VIP seating, there were a number of men within, as well as 7 or 8 extremely beautiful serving ladies.
Other than the serving girls, there were 6 who were fair and adorable human girls, wearing extremely little.
The beautiful serving girls were seated beside the men, while the 6 adorable little girls were smiling coyly and trying to please one particular young and handsome man.
In his arms, there was a loli with an impressive pair of breasts, and he was holding a glass of fresh blood, eyeing the cruel battlefield below. He laughed coldly, “What an utter disgrace! These humans are truly lowly and despicable creatures. They’re even excited at the deaths of their fellow humans. What a sight.”
A muscular black man gobbled up a plate full of blood and flesh, as he muttered, “Humans are just our food source. As long as they taste good, it doesn’t matter if their behavior is ugly or not.”
The blond-haired man laughed lightly and did not say more. At this moment, 2 burly Flesh-Eaters dragged a voluptuous mixed-blood woman with beautiful features, dressed in black leather.
The blond-haired man raised his glass to the woman and laughed, “How do you do, Snowstorm Queen Sima Bing, pleased to meet you here.”
Sima Bing was radiating an icy aura as she snorted coldly, “Who are you?”
I’m one of the Saint Clan’s Ancestors, Vanetemse.”
He laughed lightly, as a powerful pressure that could seemingly kill a person enveloped her Sima Bing.
Sima Bing’s face fell as she exclaimed, “What?! Type 5 Ancestor?!”
Under the pressure from Vanetemse, Sima Bing felt suffocated. She was like a frog being stared at by a frog, her entire body plunged in cold.
In the 2nd World, a Type 5 expert was almost invincible. A single one could destroy an entire army. Such a freak was not something a Type 3 expert like Sima Bing could handle.
Vanetemse then spoke in an alluring voice, “Sima Bing, I know that your position among the human resistance is high. As long as you surrender to us, I can help you turn into one of us. At the same time, you will have a breakthrough to the Type 4 realm, with an unlimited lifespan, as well as riches and power.”
Sima Bing’s expression turned vicious, as she spat a glob of saliva at his face, “Forget about it! I will never join you animals. I’m a human, not a freak like you monsters! Peh!”
Vanetemse’s eyes flashed fiercely, and a blood-red beam shot out to disintegrate the saliva.
His face turned dark as he waved his hands, “Bitch, you truly do not know when a toast is offered. Do it!!”
The Flesh-Eater that was grabbing Sima Bing pulled out a red pill and directly squeezed her mouth open, forcing the pill in.
The moment the pill entered her mouth, she felt a strange energy flowing through her limbs, and her breathing suddenly became haggard.
Sima Bing looked at the savage grinning expression of Vanetemse and gasped, “What did you feed me?!”
He laughed cruelly in response, “Don’t you feel that you’re a human? I’ll not let you be one, you shall be a bitch instead!! Hahahaha!!”
As he laughed cruelly, the expressions of the 6 adorable girls turned ugly, their bodies trembling.
At that moment, 4 Flesh-Eaters brought in 4 huge, black dogs into the box.
The 4 hounds had bloodshot expressions, panting excitedly, evidently having been fed something.
The alluring Sima Bing had a clouded gaze, her eyes filled with an expectant look as she curled up on the ground, breathing raggedly, trying to fight back the effects of the medicine.
Vanetemse laughed out maniacally, “Let us see how this human will copulate with dogs. Performing such perverse and degenerate acts, she dares to claim that she’s a human? Haha! Sima Bing, if your comrades were to see your slutty side, what do you think they will feel?”
Vanetemse was an old freak that had survived many years. As a Type 5 Ancestor, his position was high. He had enjoyed and reveled in all that was possible. Furthermore, the innate nature of the evolved zombie traits in him made him more cruel and sadistic.
Under the torment of the medicine, Sima Bing’s breathing became even more ragged, and she looked more like a drug abuser in cold turkey treatment, crawling helplessly towards those 4 dogs.
Vanetemse’s face was contorted in a savage expression and he laughed twistedly, “Hahahaha!”
The human women within the room all looked away, unwilling to witness the depravity that was about to happen.
At the moment that Sima Bing had reached the dogs, there was a loud blast, and the door to the room was blasted open. A number of blade shadows appeared inside the room, slashing up the 4 Flesh-Eaters and 4 dogs.
In the blink of an eye, their bodies were sliced up into multiple pieces that splattered on the ground.
Yue Zhong stepped in, wielding his Type 4 Flame Blade.
Sima Bing’s hands closed in on thin air, and her face flushed further, as her eyes glazed over. She grabbed onto Yue Zhong, curling around him like a snake, moaning out in a manner that could cause one’s heart to pump, “Give me!! Give me!! I want it!! Haaah!! Give me!!”
Yue Zhong had been fighting on the frontline these few days, fending off the elite Dino-Warriors. He had not even touched a woman for so long. Seeing Sima Bing in heat, he almost could not control himself as well. However, he was still a warlord, and he chopped down on her neck lightly, causing her to faint.
The commotion at the door had drawn everyone’s attention. Seeing the corpses, the women were all filled with fear, but no one screamed.
After all, they had seen plenty of such scenes in this world.
After all, when the cruel Flesh-Eaters and Bloodsuckers went overboard in their fun, they would chop off the heads of the women they toyed with, drinking the blood.
“Yue Zhong! You are Yue Zhong! This is good! We have been searching for you for so long!! Hand over the God and Devil Imprint on you!!”
Vanetemse’s eyes lit up when he saw Yue Zhong, laughing out in excitement. He threw the well-developed loli to one side like trash, before disappearing from where he was and appeared in front of Yue Zhong in the next. He slashed out viciously at his head.
“Trash! Just based on you trash?! Overestimating yourself!!”
Yue Zhong’s gaze turned cold, punching out with his fist wrapped in Dark Dou Qi.
The power of the Dark Dou Qi exploded out, causing a huge hole in Vanetemse’s body, while Vanetemse himself was sent soaring back into the wall.
Chapter 737: Killing a Type 5 Ancestor!
Seeing this terrifying scene, everyone within the room was stunned. Vanetemse was a Type 5 expert, and he could easily tear apart an RH2 with ease. Such an Overlord-class character was actually heavily injured in one hit, this caused everyone to fell into disbelief.
“How is this possible?! You’re just a human, how could you possess a Type 5 Divine Strength?! I don’t believe this!!”
Vanetemse roared out in rage as he stepped out from the debris of the wall, his body covered with his Radiance of Life. At that instant, he turned into countless blood-sucking bats and pounced towards Yue Zhong.
As part of the Vampire Clan, their bodies might not be as powerful as the Dino-Race, however, in terms of regenerative ability, speed, and mystical abilities, they were superior.
“Hmph! Scram for me!”
Yue Zhong snorted coldly, his body exuding an aura like a fiendgod. He took a step forward and slashed outward at the bats.
With the flash of his blade, many bats were sliced apart, turning into multiple pieces that fell out of the skies.
When the other bats saw this, they flapped their wings frantically in a bid to flee.
The Bats Transformation skill was a secret defensive measure of the Vampire Clan. As long as a single one escaped, then even if the rest were killed, Vanetemse could resurrect.
Of course, the more bats that were killed, the weaker Vanetemse would be after resurrecting.
“Yue Zhong, go to hell!!”
“…”
Following a roar of rage, the other Type 4 experts of the Flesh-Eater and Vampire Clans acted, dashing towards Yue Zhong. Vanetemse took the chance to flee.
The moment the Type 4 experts acted, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and daggers flashed out.
At that instant, bloody holes appeared in the chests of the experts; their hearts already crushed.
The hearts and heads were the weak points of the Flesh-Eaters and Vampires, the moment they were destroyed, then these Type 4 experts would also become corpses.
“You want to escape? Go to hell!”
Facing the fleeing bats, Yue Zhong sent out his Devil Flame at the various bats. In a flash of fire, the bats were reduced to ash.
In the end, when the last bat was also incinerated, a powerful life force was absorbed into Yue Zhong through the God and Devil Imprint.
Yue Zhong quietly assessed after killing the Type 5 Ancestor casually, “The combat ability of these Vampires truly cannot compare to the Mid-Grade Dino-Generals.”
Within the box, all the women and girls stared at Yue Zhong, their eyes filled with shock. They were clear about the might of a Type 5 Ancestor. Such a terrifying freak had actually been obliterated by Yue Zhong in a few moves, where he could not even escape. This was beyond their understanding.
Phantom came up to Yue Zhong’s side and asked, “What do we do about these women?”
Yue Zhong glanced at Sima Bing and said, “Bring them out, I have something to do.”
Under the aphrodisiac, Sima Bing’s eyes were already opened, and her limbs were coiled around Yue Zhong, wriggling incessantly. Her face was flushed and her body was drenched in perspiration.
Phantom glanced at Yue Zhong silently, before barking coldly at the remaining women, “Go!”
The beautiful women and girls walked out obediently behind Phantom. They had been through the toughest and strictest of training and knew how to follow the orders of the strong.
Yue Zhong also could not hold himself back and kissed Sima Bing.
The moment Sima Bing felt the presence and touch of Yue Zhong, her passion was reignited, and she began to claw at his clothes, kissing him deeply as though her life depended on it.
Both of them became entwined on a huge bed, frantically exploring each other with their hands and mouths.
At the same time that Yue Zhong was enjoying himself with Sima Bing, an army of 10,000 led by Luo Qing Qing invaded Ghost City.
The human soldiers who were equipped with the tech of the 3rd World were almost unstoppable. Many Flesh-Eaters and Vampires appeared, only to be blasted by laser guns and electromagnetic cannons.
The Type 5 experts were rare existences in this 2nd World, with the majority residing within Saint City. Ghost City only had Vanetemse.
In fact, he was only here to wipe out the human resistance, as well as to indulge in his depraved games with the human girls.
Soon, the entire city was brought under Luo Qing Qing’s control.
Sun Lan Lan was currently leading a few officials to establish a new government swiftly, transforming Ghost City.
After their throes of passion, Sima Bing laid in Yue Zhong’s embrace, gasping slightly. Her snow-white shoulders laid against his broad chest, her eyes filled with a complicated gaze. She had never expected she would become Yue Zhong’s woman like this.
Sima Bing had a favorable impression of Yue Zhong, however, it was a position of respect and reverence, not love. Being thrust in this position was slightly uncomfortable for her.
Yue Zhong felt uncomfortable as well, being stared at by her. He propped her up while running his fingers over her delicate skin, asking, “Why are you here?”
Sima Bing’s brows arched, as she snorted coldly and spoke with a slightly resentful tone, “Somebody disappeared, leaving behind a mess for us to clear. The Flesh-Eaters and Vampires had used their all to whittle away at our strength. Many of our brothers and comrades have died! Why didn’t you come back slightly later, when we’re all dead, wouldn’t that be better?”
Yue Zhong frowned and asked, “I remember having made some preparations before I left, everyone was to lie low, how did things become like this?”
Sima Bing sighed softly, “Those Flesh-Eaters and Vampires are truly too vicious. They captured many of our comrades, using them as bait. Many of us could not stand by and watch them be killed, thus they fell for the traps. Many traitors also appeared. I had been sold out by one myself, that was why I was captured and brought here.”
Yue Zhong was not a god, and could not possibly plan for everything perfectly. Although he had made preparations, there was no way of ensuring that everyone followed his orders.
The resistance was also made up of humans with flesh and blood, they could not possibly be like puppets and robots that could follow Yue Zhong’s orders completely.
Yue Zhong asked, “Are you still able to contact Jess and the rest?”
Sima Bing shook her head, “No! In order to prevent any more traitors, the moment there’s a large-scale movement, other than the top echelon, no one will know where is the next location. Since I’ve been caught, they would have moved to a location that I do not know of.”
Yue Zhong fell silent, before slowly replying, “That’s the case eh? Then forget it! Let them come to me themselves!”
Sima Bing suddenly asked with some expectations, “Yue Zhong, are you already a Type 5 Divine Warrior?”
Yue Zhong did not hide it, “That’s right, I’m already a Type 5 Divine Warrior.”
Sima Bing was slightly indignant, “That’s unfair, we were all Type 3 Divine Warriors, why is it only you that could evolve so fast? Are you really blessed and chosen by the gods?”
Yue Zhong kissed her forehead lightly and chuckled, “Maybe!”
After taking down Ghost City, Yue Zhong’s forces did not stop, instead, splitting into 6 different units led by Han Qiong, Ma Lei, Shao Yun, Liu Tai, Luo Qing Qing and Han Zi Xuan separately. These units started to invade the surrounding cities.
With their equipment, the nearby cities were all taken down easily, the city guards within annihilated.
The humans that migrated from the 3rd World then shifted into these cities, occupying and somewhat stabilizing themselves.
The 2nd World had suffered much from the nuclear warfare in the past, thus, the environment was much harsher than the 3rd World. Other than the cities, the rest of the outer zones were filled with Irradiated Devils, Savage Ones, Living Corpses, Mutant Beasts as well as the radiation. It was really tough for humans to survive.
Under such circumstances, Yue Zhong could not help but launch assault after assault, taking down the cities.
With the relentless advance of his troops, it was not long before over 20 cities had been occupied by Yue Zhong.
The number of cities and the speed that they were taken down at finally alarmed Saint City.
Within Saint City, inside the White Tower, a number of Type 5 Ancestors sat on two rows of golden thrones.
At the 4 highest seats, the 4 rare Saint Kings were seated as well.
The gazes of the Type 5 Ancestors all fell upon these Saint Kings.
Saint King Weylan spoke up, “Today, I have summoned everybody here to report something. Yue Zhong has resurfaced, bringing with him a large number of humans. These humans possess weapons that surpassed the technology of this world. They also have countless experts. We have already lost 28 cities.”
Chapter 738: 8 Armies!
“What?! How did this happen?! Saint King Weylan, how many forces does Yue Zhong have?”
“Saint King Weylan, how much strength does Yue Zhong possess himself?”
“…”
The countenances of the numerous Type 5 Ancestors all changed, as they could not help but ask.
After the first war with the humans, these Ancestors knew the threat of a person with the God and Devil Imprint. They would either die out fast under various dangerous circumstances or become extremely strong, extremely quickly.
If Yue Zhong were to reach a Type 6 realm, then the entire Saint Clan would be helpless against him. Death would be all that awaited them, or they could consider fleeing to the radiated zones.
Saint King Weylan waved his hands, as a number of alluring women in tight clothing came out, giving out documents to the various Type 5 Ancestors, “This is the information on Yue Zhong’s army. Take a look.”
They quickly flipped through the information in front of them.
A Type 5 Divine Warrior would have enhancements on every part of their body, most of them just had to take a look and they could easily process the information quickly.
One Type 5 Saint Clan expert scanned through the documents and his face fell, “Who could have expected his strength to grow so explosively. He even managed to recruit other Type 5 experts.”
Luo Qing Qing was incredibly powerful, even a peak Type 4 Vampire would be easily pierced to death by her. Those who exchanged clashes with her could immediately tell that she was a Type 5 expert.
Gu Mu, recognizable with his long plaited ponytail, had a vicious look in his eyes, “That’s why, we must kill him! Right before he becomes even more powerful! I recommend for all our forces to be deployed, split into 8 armies, wiping out all those darn humans!”
“I agree!!”
“Same here!! We cannot let him grow, we have to cut off his growth right now!!”
“…”
Killing intent began to pour out of the numerous Type 5 Ancestors. They had all experienced the Sacred War for themselves, and knew how dangerous it was for a person with the God and Devil World to develop.
Saint King Weylan quickly made his decision, “Fine! It’s dangerous, we shall activate our forces immediately to wipe out Yue Zhong!”
The moment White Tower made its decision, the entire Saint City became a hubbub of activity.
Countless human soldiers that had been brainwashed by the Saint Clan were activated, donning on their equipment, and formed various units. Under the lead of the various Saint Clan generals, they separated into 8 major armies, marching on towards Ghost City.
Ghost City had already become the temporary capital for Yue Zhong’s army, with many humans passing through each day. The total number of residents had already reached 600,000. The city was bustling with activity, and it looked prosperous, a vast difference from when the city was still under the rule of the Saint Clan.
Yue Zhong stood in a tall building, gazing down at the activity below, and could not help but feel a sense of achievement.
A soldier came up to him, reporting, “Your Majesty, someone requests an audience!”
Yue Zhong replied indifferently, “Who?”
With his current identity, he would not just meet anybody. Within Ghost City, there were already 600,000 people. If everyone wanted to see him, then his time would be wasted on them.
The soldier replied, “Someone called Luo Chen.”
“Send them in.”
Not long after, 2 men and 2 women entered the room led by the reporting soldier.
Yue Zhong swept his gaze across them, his eyes flashing with joy as he stepped forward to hug a little girl with short, blue hair, dressed in military uniform. She was extremely cute, yet interestingly valiant with her attire. “Floxenia!! You’re fine!! Thank goodness!”
This beautiful and adorable loli Floxenia had the ability to read minds, and her ability was extremely useful, almost as precious as a White-Silver Grade Treasure of Hope.
The human heart was hard to fathom, and human relationships were tricky and delicate. Yue Zhong had numerous subordinates, however, he did not know who was loyal to him, or who were pawn pieces placed by his enemies. With Floxenia with him, he could control his organization better, preventing any potential dangers from lurking.
Floxenia could sense Yue Zhong’s genuine joy accurately, and she leaped into his arms like a docile cat, enjoying his warmth, at the same time, feeling a strong sense of security envelop her. In his embrace, she revealed a bright smile, “Brother Yue Zhong, I’ve missed you so! How come you only came back now? I missed you so badly!!”
The other pretty woman Lisa saw how Floxenia was behaving, and her eyeballs nearly popped out.
When Yue Zhong had left, everyone was in anxiety, Floxenia had started to cleanse the organization mercilessly, ousting any traitor or spy that she caught ruthlessly. Under her orders, over 200 people had died. Many of the resistance soldiers were fearful of this little devil, the moment they faced her, their legs would turn to jelly and their backs broke out in perspiration. They did not dare to let their thoughts wander. Only Jess, Luo Chen and Lisa, whose minds were resolute, and had nothing to hide, dared to stay by her side.
If it wasn’t for her efforts to cleanse the organization and instill fear, the Resistance would have long since fallen at the pressure of the Saint Clan.
Luo Chen swept the room a glance, before his eyes landed on Yue Zhong, his gaze full of respect, “Leader, you’re truly the Saviour of the legends. From a single trip, you actually gained such a powerful force. Truly admirable.”
Within the room, there were a total of 8 Type 4 experts, it was truly a force to behold.
After all, before Yue Zhong had joined the Resistance, 8 Type 4 experts were enough to eradicate a large part of the Resistance.
Now, such experts were just Yue Zhong’s guards, it was naturally shocking to Luo Chen.
Yue Zhong chuckled, “It’s been hard on you during my absence, Luo Chen.”
When Yue Zhong had disappeared, the responsibility of leading the Resistance had fallen on Luo Chen’s shoulders. He had to support the weight of the organization, pulling strings on multiple fronts, expending much resources and energy.
Luo Chen replied without minding it, “It’s what I should do. As long as we can annihilate those damn Flesh-Eaters, I’m willing to do anything.”
Luo Chen’s face turned serious, “Oh right, Leader, you guys have conquered 28 cities at one go, it has definitely alerted Saint City. They have already deployed their forces, split out in 8 different directions. The total size should be over a million, and they’re marching on to us right now. Leader, please make your due preparations.”
The 2nd World and the 3rd World were vastly different. The conditions of the 2nd World were extremely harsh, with numerous radiation zones. The roads were not suitable for large armies to move. Furthermore, humans were different from Dino-Warriors. If they were out on the field, the pressure on the logistics and support was extremely heavy. The deployment of a million troops would require countless more support. Thus, the Saint Clan had no choice but to split them up into 8 armies. Otherwise, the support line would crumble.
Yue Zhong laughed, “I’ve already known about this for a while. You’re right on time, I’ve something for you to do.”
Yue Zhong was also a long-time combatant. After conquering 28 cities, he had immediately deployed his experts to scatter the robotic flies and dragonflies to conduct surveillance. At the same time, he had Type 4 recon officers planted near Saint City. The moment Saint City deployed its army, he had already known about it.
Luo Chen saw how calm Yue Zhong was, and his originally anxious heart grew calm. He trusted Yue Zhong to lead them through this crisis, “Yes, Your Majesty!”
Out in the desolate and vast wilderness, a number of infantry vehicles rolled along, escorted by countless machine gun vehicles, heavy tanks, IFVs, rocket launchers as well as rocket launchers.
In the skies, there were over hundreds of assault helicopters. These assault helicopters were already off the control of a central computer, piloted manually. Bai Yi had no way of controlling them.
The Saint Clan had known of Yue Zhong as well as the Super A.I. that he controlled, they would not commit the mistake of allowing him control of their troops.
One particular Type 4 Flesh Eater expert roared out with his voice, “Listen up everybody! I shall announce this here, as long as we can conquer Yellow Wood City, the army will be on rest for 5 days. These 5 days, you can do what you like. The first person to invade the city shall be promoted by 3 ranks, as well as conferred the title of nobility. You will also be transformed into one of the Saint Clan, enjoying immortality, riches and power!”
The voice of the Type 4 Flesh Eater spread far and wide, causing the blood of the human soldiers to pump.
The break of military rule meant that these soldiers could do whatever they wanted, including killing, pillaging and raping. Also, by transforming into one of the Saint Clan, they would advance in life, enjoying the pleasures that came with it.
“Kill! Kill!! Kill!!”
“Kill! Kill!! Kill!!”
“…”
Inside the infantry vehicles, the soldiers began to call out like riled up beasts, their morale raised to a high.
The leader of the troop, the Type 5 Vampire Denier nodded with satisfaction, “Very good! Morale can work wonders. This troop will surely go all out to invade Yellow Wood City. A mere Yellow Wood City, how will you stand under the assault of my 150,000-strong army!!”
Chapter 739: Defeating the 8 Armies!
Within a secret command center in a valley, Han Qiong eyed the 150,000-strong army that was wide open, and ordered coldly, “Bunch of fools, attack!!”
The moment she gave the order, countless energy cannons hidden within a forest began to fire.
With a bright burst of light, a number of large white orbs blasted down on the Saint Clan troops, instantly obliterating large patches of them.
“Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!”
Faced with this sudden assault, the 150,000-strong army was plunged into chaos, the various commanders shouting and hollering.
Denier frowned from within his vehicle, “What the hell is going on?! Damn it, where’s the enemy?! Where are they?!”
Currently, there was no visible enemy within the vicinity, and yet, they were being bombarded by volleys of firepower. It nearly caused them to fall apart.
Many of the soldiers turned pale, fleeing in various directions. Even when barked at by their commanders, there was no way of stopping them.
One Vampire came up to Denier, asking anxiously, “Esteemed Ancestor, what do we do now?”
Denier barked, “How the hell should I know? Go find a human commander! Only they know how to command!!”
Denier was a Type 5 expert, but he wasn’t versed in the art of war. In the past, he had commanded zombies against humans, with a single order, the horde of zombies would just surge forward, tearing the humans apart without care for their own lives. When they met with a tough obstacle, he would then step forward and use his might to crush the human resistance. In terms of command, he was clueless.
The Vampire’s face turned pale as he answered quickly, “Yes!!”, before leaving quickly.
As the Saint Clan troops fell into chaos, 10,000 Mech-Fighters, a hundred energy tanks, 20 Reapers as well as 200 laser anti-air vehicles rolled out onto the battlefield.
The 20 Reapers and 200 laser gun anti-air vehicles had terrifying firepower, under the relentless firing of beams, the assault helicopters in the skies blew up in flames and fell out of the sky.
At the same time, the 100 energy tanks began to fire multiple shots into the Saint Clan troops, causing their own armored vehicles to be blasted apart.
The human troops of the Saint Clan had undergone strict military training before, hence, some of the elite troops still continued to attack.
However, when the ordinary bullets struck those energy tanks, they were deflected off easily, not dealing the slightest bit of damage at all.
Ordinary bullets and heavy caliber bullets were unable to damage the Mech-Fighters as well. Only the cannons could destroy them.
However, their artillery forces had been destroyed together with the assault helicopters in the first instance, making it hard for them to retaliate.
After holding out for a while, the 150,000-strong troop was on the verge of collapse, with pieces of abandoned armor and weapons laying everywhere. Human soldiers were fleeing for their lives, stepping over themselves, and the injury count was too high to boot.
“No running!! Those who flee will be executed!! Fight!! Get back here and fight!!”
A number of Flesh-Eaters and Vampires began to scream at the fleeing soldiers, as they tore some of them apart, hoping to make an example out of them. It was a cruel and gory sight.
Faced with those threats, the human soldiers were filled with dread, many turned around desperately, rejoining the battle.
However, they were faced with those still swarming from the forefront. They were thus knocked down and stomped over by the stampede.
Once the tides of the battle were not in their favor, it was hard for them to fight back. However, the Vampires and Flesh Eaters were still slaughtering those deserters, to little effect.
One particular Type 4 Flesh Eater had a vicious glint in his eyes. He grabbed hold of a deserter and tore him apart in two, the fresh blood and organs splattering all over himself. His appearance was like that of a bloodthirsty devil, as he roared out, “Damn it!! All you cowards, after we go back, I will turn all your families into slaves!! We will chop off their heads and dig out their hearts to drink their blood!!”
When the human soldiers saw this, many were filled with dread and fear and stopped in their tracks.
At this moment, a dozen electromagnetic beams shot from afar, penetrating the head of the Type 4 Flesh Eater, causing it to burst apart like a watermelon.
The laser and electromagnetic beams shot out, reaping the lives of the various Flesh-Eaters and Vampires. This time, the surge of retreating soldiers could not be held back anymore, and they fled madly.
Denier’s temper flared at the sight of the escaping soldiers. He had not expected that the 150,000-strong army of his would crumble just like that, “Fuck!! Damn trash!! Useless trash!! These humans are all a bunch of trash!!”
Human soldiers and zombies were different. When casualties reached a certain number, other than those with strong faith and training who would stay on to fight, most other humans would despair and value their lives more.
Denier’s past strategies of leading zombies were not applicable to the humans.
Furthermore, the army that Yue Zhong had brought over from the 3rd World possessed more powerful technology, it was basically bullying already.
“Damn trash, when I get back, I will definitely gorge on the hearts of a 100 virgins!!”
He cursed out in rage, looking at the battlefield helplessly, before gritting his teeth and hollering, “RETREAT!!”
Under his orders, the remaining thousands of Vampires and Flesh Eaters darted through the battlefield, quickly retreating.
On the battlefield, a large amount of equipment, ammunition, and weapons were left behind.
This leftover equipment and ammunition were enough for Yue Zhong to arm a few units of his troops.
Han Qiong looked at the fleeing Saint Clan army, and her mouth broke into a smile, “These monsters dare to go against us humans in warfare? What a bunch of retards.”
At the same moment that the human troops of the Saint City were defeated, a 2,000-strong unit of elites that were armed to the teeth was riding enhanced laser motorcycles quickly joined the battle, chasing after the fleeing soldiers.
The humans ran and cried, throwing away their armor, while many fell.
“Damn flies, come back with me, kill them!!”
Denier saw the motorcycle unit chasing after them, and his eyes flashed with a savage glint. He suddenly turned behind, his body darting and directly charging through the motorcycle unit.
The moment he entered the midst, Denier revealed the frightening might of a Type 5 expert. He turned into a beam of blood that darted through the soldiers. Anywhere that his blood touched, the soldiers would become emaciated and devoid of blood.
The rest of the Type 4 Vampires and Flesh-Eaters were filled with bloodlust as well, pouncing on the motorcycle warriors with ferocity, unleashing a massacre right where they were.
In terms of close combat, ordinary human soldiers were not a match for these Vampires and Flesh-Eaters.
With Denier leading the counterattack, the 2,000 elite motorcycle unit was defeated and forced to retreat.
The ability to turn the tides of a battle was precisely something a Type 5 expert could carry out.
As Denier was rampaging through the elite soldiers, a number of laser-mounted vehicles extended their Prism Laser Cannons from afar.
Denier was suddenly filled with a sense of crisis. Without hesitating, he transformed into over a hundred bats, doing his best to escape from the location.
In an instant, the thick beam of laser shot past their locations, disintegrating hundreds of bats into ashes that fell to the floor.
“The Saint Clan Ancestor is dead!!”
“The Saint Clan Ancestor is dead!!”
“…”
Seeing their Type 5 Ancestor perishing under the lasers, the remaining Vampires and Flesh-Eaters were all shocked. Their morale dipped drastically, and they began to flee in various directions.
Han Qiong led her army to defeat hundreds of Vampires and Flesh-Eaters, before bringing the troops to capture those captives and collect the loot.
At almost the same time of Han Qiong’s attack, Luo Qing Qing, Liu Tai, Liu Du, Han Zi Xuan, Zheng Yan He, Ma Lei, and Shao Yun were all leading their own troops to attack the Saint Army 8 Armies in the various locations as well.
On one hand, there were the human elites who had gone through countless battles, equipped with powerful weapons, on the other, a backward troop with numbers but inexperience.
The Saint Clan’s army was accosted on all fronts, losing their weapons as they crumbled within, suffering losses and fleeing soldiers.
Luo Qing Qing also killed one Type 5 Ancestor by herself.
In a single battle, the entire world was shaken.
When Luo Chen knew of all these, he was overjoyed, and his faith was strengthened, “Amazing!! This is truly too overbearing. You’re truly as the legends described! Leader Yue Zhong is too powerful.”
Sima Bing sucked in a breath of cold air, her gaze complicated when she got wind of the battle report, “What an impressive fellow.”
Jess was elated, laughing, “Indeed, the prophecy was right. With him as our leader, our human race would likely rise from the ashes.”
The news of the Saint City’s defeat at the hands of the Resistance soon traveled through all the cities in the 2nd World. The lowest caste and slaves in the various cities began to get in contact with the Resistance.
The news also naturally traveled to the Saint Clan within the White Tower.
By this time, they were thoroughly shocked, they did not dare to underestimate Yue Zhong further. He was already an existence with enough power on his hands to threaten their very lives.
Chapter 740: Heart of Hope!
Inside Saint City, within the deepest recess of the glorious White Tower, there was a huge lake of blood, formed from the deaths of countless people. It exuded a strange and mysterious aura.
The 4 Saint Kings were currently kneeling in front of the blood lake in reverence.
Saint King Weylan was kowtowing profusely, “Oh Great Saint Emperor, the human with the God and Devil Imprint has reappeared. He had gained a tremendous might from some strange world that is able to deal with our clan. We hope that your esteemed self can come out of your retreat to help us deal with that damn human.”
Inside the blood lake, there was the final trump card of the Saint Clan, the only surviving member of the Type 6 Divine Warriors that had taken part in the previous Sacred War.
A Type 6 expert was a truly invincible existence, just one of them could easily annihilate a 10,000-strong army, turning the tides of the battle instantly.
It was precisely due to the Type 6 Saint Emperor that the humans could not defeat the Saint Clan in the previous war.
The moment Weylan’s voice landed, the blood lake began to bubble and churn, as a raspy but evil voice sounded out, “I’ve already spoken clearly. Do not mind that human. The Gate of Hell is about to open soon. Go make your preparations. Once the gates are opened, lead the army to go take over the new world.”
“The new world is undergoing transformations and evolving, it is the best place for our clan to evolve. As long as our Clan can conquer that new world, it’s not impossible for you guys to become Type 6 existences. We will also become Type 7 existences. By that time, the humans would just be ants, easily crushable beneath our feet. Go, concentrate on invading the new world. Is that clear? If you guys fail in this, I will definitely rip your tendons and dig your hearts out!”
“Yes!!”
Hearing the threat of the evil voice, the 4 Saint Kings shuddered slightly. They replied respectfully, before quickly making their way out.
“Gates of Hell, open quickly. I’m already sick of waiting, I want to taste the pleasure of tearing those humans apart!”
The blood lake churned once more, as the evil voice filled with killing intent resounded in a quiet whisper.
After Yue Zhong’s army defeated the 8 armies of the Saint Clan, at the entrance of Ghost City, there was a bright flash of light, and an archaic and evil-looking Gate of Hell appeared, emitting a powerful pressure.
Inside a study, Yue Zhong was currently hugging Willianna in his left hand, while his right hand held Liu Yi Chen. In front of him, Qi Qing’er was singing in her melodious voice, while the little minx Annie was dancing with barely anything on her. As she danced she kept looking at Yue Zhong coquettishly. Floxenia was currently feeding him pieces of fruits. Looking at this scene, Yue Zhong was truly enjoying himself.
Since he had defeated the Saint Clan’s troops, Yue Zhong finally had a hard-earned break.
“Congratulations on completing your mission to survive for an entire year on the 2nd World. You have gained a Treasure of Hope as a reward.”
“Congratulations on gaining a Treasure of Hope, The Heart of Hope.”
As Yue Zhong was massaging Liu Yi Chen and her silky skin, the 2 notifications rang out in his ears.
At the next moment, the space in front of Yue Zhong twisted and contorted, as a number of bright lights flashed, and a small silverish-white sphere the size of a fist appeared.
Yue Zhong grabbed it and frowned, thinking, “Heart of Hope? What is this treasure capable of?”
Every single Treasure of Hope was a White-Silver Grade Treasure, with shocking abilities. Yue Zhong had been able to win in the numerous hopeless situations precisely because he had the Super A.I. and the Puppet Box. If he did not know how to utilize any of the Treasures fully, the effectiveness would be reduced by more than half.
Yue Zhong pulled out the handheld computer that contained Bai Yi, “Bai Yi, do you know what does this Heart of Hope do?”
Bai Yi swiftly replied, “In my database, there is no information on this Treasure of Hope.”
Yue Zhong was helpless when he heard that. He held it up and observed it carefully while thinking to himself, “Heart of Hope. Based on its name, it’s likely something to do with the heart. Is it an enhanced human heart? Or an enhanced Mutant Beast heart? From its appearance, it seems to be an easy Treasure to use.”
With that thought, he placed it against his own chest. The Heart of Hope remained still, without any reaction.
He continued to ponder quietly, “Seems like it’s not for humans, but against Mutant Beasts.”
Right at that moment, another notification resounded from the God and Devil System.
“You have already completed the mission to survive, the Gates of Hell will thus open. The Gate of Hell leading to Earth has opened, while the Gate of Hell connecting the 3rd World to Earth will open in 4 months’ time. Please head back to Earth to make your preparations. You have 24 hours to settle your affairs, after 24 hours, you will have to head back to Earth to receive your mission.”
“From now on, the Gate of Hell will become a gateway between both worlds, the inhabitants of the 2nd World can also make use of it to enter Earth.”
When Yue Zhong heard that, he chuckled bitterly and shook his head, “24 hours eh? Truly on a tight schedule.”
“Everybody, listen up!”
Yue Zhong quickly pulled out his communicator and notified all his trusted aides. After a round of screening with Floxenia’s mind-reading capabilities, he began to announce his background and the news that he had to return to Earth.
Yue Zhong said, “That’s how it is. After I leave, I’ll leave everything here to Luo Chen, Jess, Floxenia, Han Qiong, Sun Lan Lan, Ma Lei, … Zheng Yan He, all of you. Make your preparations and find the suitable Gates of Hell to enter Earth. I think that they will appear very soon on this 2nd World, they should be easy to find.”
“Yes!”
The upper echelon of Yue Zhong’s subordinates all nodded slightly.
After the meeting was dismissed, Floxenia pulled on Yue Zhong’s sleeves and spoke pitifully, “Can I go with you? I don’t want to leave you, Brother Yue Zhong.”
He ruffled her hair and rejected her, “No, Floxenia. They need you here. Furthermore, I have no idea where I’ll end up when I go through the Gate of Hell. If I were to appear in a dangerous place, it would be troublesome if even I can’t protect you. Once I’ve gone through, and make sure that nothing is wrong, I’ll come back to pick you.”
With Yue Zhong’s current strength at the Type 5 realm, he was practically invincible on Earth. However, he had been gone a year. Who knew what Earth had become. While he was evolving, the other biological lifeforms on Earth would be evolving as well. If he came to a lake full of Mutant Beasts, or powerful zombies, then he had no confidence that he could protect Floxenia at all.
Floxenia took the chance to pout, “Fine! But! Brother Yue Zhong, while I’m staying here obediently to root out those spies, once I go over, you must keep me company for a few days! Promise!”
Yue Zhong chuckled and agreed, “Fine!”
Annie, Liu Yi Chen and the other women looked on enviously.
After promising Floxenia, Yue Zhong stood up to walk outside.
As he passed through the city gate of Ghost City, he caught sight of 2 Mech-Fighters. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he took out the Heart of Hope and placed it against the chest of one of the Mech-Fighters.
The moment the Heart of Hope touched the Mech-Fighter, there was a bright flash of light, and a number of strange engravings came out of the sphere, entering the body of the Mech Fighter before the entire sphere penetrated it mysteriously.
When the Heart of Hope was embedded in the heart of the Mech Fighter, the eyes of the Mech-Fighter flashed, as though it came alive, and it walked up to Yue Zhong, getting down on one knee while replying, “Hello, Master. I am the Heart of Hope.”
Yue Zhong glanced at it curiously, “Heart of Hope, what’s your ability?”
In response, “I have the ability to greatly strengthen any mechanical life form. I can be inserted into any robots, becoming their hearts, and causing them to become stronger. The highest capacity I can pump out would be 500% of the original robot’s fighting capabilities. Depending on the strength of the host robot, I can channel even more power. The stronger the robotic form, the more devastating my attacks. If you were piloting a mech, I can absorb the energy that you release to transform the Mech-Fighter to become stronger as well.”
Yue Zhong then placed his hands on the chest of the Mech-Fighter, “Alright, I got it. Come on out.”
With a bright flash, the Heart of Hope soared out from the body of the Mech Fighter, landing back in Yue Zhong’s hands.
After losing the Heart of Hope, the Mech-Fighter also lost its signs of life, just like a dead person.
Yue Zhong looked at the sphere in his hands expectantly, “Seems like it’s a Treasure to strengthen fighter robots. The frames and damage can become stronger. Right now, the strongest robot I have is a Reaper. Who knows just how strong it can be with the Heart of Hope installed?”
