Chapter 90: Chapter 90: I’m Here, Embrace Despair!
Shen Hao had actually been there for a while.
He naturally wasn’t just watching the show.
The proportion and number of Blood Demons in this city had reached a very dangerous level. Even with his current strength, it wasn’t easy to eliminate them quickly and efficiently.
Therefore, he needed a little help.
Luckily, there were quite a few clouds in the sky at the moment. Among the items that were permanently unlocked in the VIP shop was a talisman called “Calling the Wind and Rain,” a Blue Level 6, equivalent to the cultivation version of artificial rainmaking. With sufficient water vapor, its massive use could bring about a torrential downpour.
These dark clouds were actually summoned by him.
While waiting for the clouds to gather, Shen Hao naturally noticed the spot below where over a thousand Blood Demons were converging.
He indeed had not anticipated the situation of human traitors in this place to be so severe!
“Team leader, New City indeed has some big problems.” Dong Gong had also discovered something at this moment, “I’ve communicated with them, and they haven’t completely let go of the surveillance on big cities. They’ve always been having New City conduct self-examinations, while they check the city’s top management for problems. Considering New City’s current Blood Demon ratio, I suspect that the city’s top management is already completely wiped out, either parasitized or they have betrayed humanity.”
“It seems, indeed, to be the case.” Shen Hao had already locked on a few Blood Demon-concentrated areas in the city early on.
The bad thing is, they are all key departments!
Officials, police, firefighters…
Even the city’s garrison troops have been completely wiped out!
The proportion among the civilians is actually lower.
Clearly, this is an infiltration from the top down!
“These traitors shall all be subjected to a public trial by the Global United Front, then hanged in their own country, in front of their own people,” Shen Hao said gravely, “They must die amidst endless scorn, so that everyone understands the price of betraying their species.”
Perhaps some parts of this country do not have the death penalty, but at this moment, the laws of the Global United Front are the highest!
The disaster brought about by a human traitor far surpasses that of ordinary Blood Demons; Shen Hao didn’t even want to just kill them simply.
At this moment, the sudden thunder in the suburb also drew the attention of most people.
Some were a bit panicked and confused, while others seemed to realize something but still found it unbelievable.
On the other hand, Karim and the others at the scene, after the initial shock and daze, all understood.
They began to laugh, laughing maniacally.
“We’ve been waiting!”
“Bastards, your doomsday is here!”
“This is humanity’s savior!”
“He’s here! Hahaha, he’s here, he’s right here!”
“…”
People who haven’t personally experienced it can’t comprehend this joy of being reborn from calamity, nor can they understand the feeling of finally awaiting hope!
Don’t West and Karim know that what they’re doing hardly makes any difference?
No, they fully understand.
The increasing number of Blood Demons among the crowd is evident right here!
But in their hearts, they always held onto a sliver of hope because they understood that the Blood Demons were being defeated step by step in the Far East, and the strongest Chosen One from that mysterious East was their hope!
And now, they have been waiting!
This excitement, this joy, is simply beyond words!
It was only when a thunderbolt struck someone close by that they snapped back to reality.
“Fuck, I wondered why they arrived so quickly.”
“I knew noise detection wasn’t really useful!”
“Stop talking nonsense, the city needs us!”
“Who knows how many traitors there are among these damned politicians, they and the Blood Demons must have gone mad!”
“…”
These people didn’t worry at all about the dense thunderbolts falling around them. Some even felt an urge to keep the marks left by the lightning strikes, but they knew they had something to do, each heading toward the city.
At this moment, thunder was spreading.
Dark clouds had completely condensed. The thunderous roars were incessant, resounding throughout the entire city like a bombardment. People on some streets were horrified to find that many around them were struck by thunder, turning into extremely withered corpses!
Countless Blood Demons also realized that terror had descended. They tore off their disguises and turned into blood-red monsters, howling at the sky and then violently attacking everything around them.
Screams echoed throughout the city!
Blood Demon, everywhere were Blood Demons!
The crowd was completely unprepared and couldn’t imagine that there were so many Blood Demons around them!
Some even found that their friends, their family members, were disguises of Blood Demons.
Boom—!
“`
A massive explosion suddenly burst forth, with some Monsters detonating an oil station, turning evaporated gasoline into a vast sea of fire that exploded one after another within the city!
This city, which had stood for four hundred years, was now immersed in an unprecedented wail of despair!
Flames were everywhere, as were terrified, screaming crowds!
This time, facing Shen Hao, the Blood Demon Mother did not seem intent on suicide, but rather on perishing together with the city!
However, as Shen Hao looked upon the countless cries of agony below, his expression remained unchanged.
Such a situation was, in fact, not the first of its kind.
There would always be some Blood Demon Mothers that were utterly insane, paying no heed to anything, seeking only to vent their rage!
The eventual casualty count might reach hundreds of thousands!
But, if he were to stop at this moment, it would mean the total annihilation of a population of eight million!
“Thunder!” After consuming a large amount of Secret Medicine, Shen Hao’s strength soared, enveloped by terrifying thunder, and even a colossal Thunder Giant materialized behind him, sending lightning raining down on the land relentlessly and precisely.
“Shen Hao!”
A huge roar erupted below, even drowning out the sound of thunder for a moment, so that the entire city heard it clearly.
Shen Hao looked over.
It was a Blood Demon Mother, one with formidable power!
It had indeed gone mad, to the point of daring to appear in front of Shen Hao!
Countless streams of blood surged out as its body rapidly transformed, morphing into a blood-red, pitch-black enormous dragon!
Talent Shape Transformation!
With its Blue Talent and the power it had gained at Level 8, the effect was tremendous, and the blood-colored dragon lay atop the tallest building in New City, unleashing a mighty roar at the Thunder Giant in mid-air!
And on that somewhat damaged screen of the building, images of Shen Hao were still being displayed, along with a huge promotional slogan.
—The Human Savior!
This scene, along with the panicking crowd fleeing below and the ferocious Monsters, was captured by a journalist standing on the street with his camera.
This journalist no longer thought of fleeing; he was obsessed with the sight, feverishly pressing the shutter button!
“The Savior and the Demon Dragon, this is the destruction of days past and the dawn of a new era! The whole world will remember this moment forever! And they will remember me forever!”
The shouting journalist was torn apart by a fleeing Monster, which then also got struck by lightning, sending the camera crashing to the ground, but nobody cared—all struggled with the overwhelming emotions captured in that one photograph.
Meanwhile, Shen Hao turned his gaze to the Mother.
Several Advanced Blood Demons leapt up at once, not just Level 5, but some even formed huge wings out of blood—they were the newly born Level 6 Blood Demons, each one built from the flesh and blood of thousands!
And then, like demons challenging heaven itself, they charged madly at Shen Hao!
“Roar—!”
The Mother, transformed into a Demon Dragon, likewise flapped its wings, displaying speed that was completely at odds with its immense size!
The entire city, only a few witnessed this spectacle.
Karim and others who had also arrived in the city, trying to kill the Monsters and save people, were among those few.
They watched fervently as blinding lightning swept across the sky in an instant, as if rending the very world apart!
One Monster after another wailed as they plummeted to their deaths, with the aura of death steaming up in the lightning—countless demons that dared to challenge the Divine met their desperate, yet utterly predictable end!
Even that mighty Demon Dragon stood no chance, and under the overwhelming Suppression of Shen Hao drawing near, the Blood Demon Mother’s pained, struggling howls echoed throughout the city!
Level 8 as well, such a challenge was laughable in Shen Hao’s eyes.
Many traitors also slumped in despair, some laughing loudly, some trembling uncontrollably, and others, shuddering, drew handguns and pointed them at their own heads.
Bang—!
This was undoubtedly the easiest, the most leisurely way to die, but for those who had betrayed Humanity, their own Species, for the sake of survival, it was the most ironic, the most despairing demise.
Perhaps people would pay a huge sacrifice, and face a city riddled with wounds, but from the moment Shen Hao arrived, the Blood Demons and the traitors truly faced despair!
However, at this moment, a large number of Blood Demons were quickly gathering elsewhere.
Dong Gong’s speculation was right; the Blood Demon Mother did indeed have unified command. When they realized that the New City plan’s failure was inevitable, they decisively took other measures!
“Quick! Quick! Quick! Have your children hurry up!”
“If there’s no vehicle, steal one from the city!”
“Don’t wait for companions to gather, the first to arrive should launch the Attack immediately!”
“It has to be fast, do not waste the sacrifices of Blake and Milo.”
“This batch of equipment, weapons, and technology, we must seize them!”
“…”
Indeed, the Blood Demons didn’t even plan to attack the base’s transport teams on the way, but rather, while Shen Hao was detained in New City, to strike directly at the military base!
In the South, there were fully functional industrial districts that fell into their hands, they too needed cutting-edge technology, more powerful weapons, and more sophisticated production equipment!
