After Wang Han left with the white-armored divine rhinoceros and An Qi.
The tiger spirit, who had slipped out by chance, pinned a man in armor to its paw and said to the black dragon spewing dragon fire in the sky above, "Even the great serpent has come out. It seems the master is very angry this time. There will be no lucky survivors in this city."
“If our master is truly angry, we won’t have a chance to escape. But this city truly cannot be left alive,” the black dragon replied. If their master were truly angry, this world would have already crumbled, leaving them no chance to leave. Even so, even without Wang Han’s orders, they dared not leave any survivors.
"That's right." The tiger spirit nodded in agreement, and with a forceful stomp of its paw, it created a huge crater in the ground.
"A powerful fellow." After Wang Han left, the giant snake looked into the distance, muttered to itself, and then looked back at the crowd of people who had come to help, who looked like ants on the ground. It said to the other pets, "I can handle these guys. You guys go have fun. Don't forget to collect anything interesting you find for your master."
"Roar..." Upon hearing the giant serpent's command, the pets that were fighting and destroying things roared as if to say they understood. Then, no longer caring about the humans still alive in the noble district, they all ran out of the noble district.
As people watched the other departing monsters, no one felt hope; instead, they felt even more desperate, because their enemy was simply an invincible force.
"Run! Run! Let as many as you can escape!" One of the four people in the support group suddenly roared at the crowd behind him.
With his roar, the utterly desperate people fled towards the outskirts of the noble district. Even the four class gods fled in different directions. No one believed they could defeat the terrifying serpent god, Jormungandr.
"None of you can escape." The giant serpent said, looking at the frantically fleeing crowd. Its huge mouth opened, and a powerful suction force formed in its mouth, instantly covering an area with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. Whether it was soil, flames, or poisonous fog, they all flew towards the giant serpent's mouth in the sky as if they were being blown up by a terrifying hurricane.
"No..." people cried out in despair, desperately grabbing at anything they could reach, even as the things they tried to grab flew into the serpent's mouth.
The giant serpent continuously moved its head, its powerful suction cleansing the earth. Wherever it passed, the ground shrank by ten meters, sucking everything into its belly. Even professional saints and gods, once caught in its suction, had no chance of escape. Their resisting magic and sword energy were also sucked into the serpent's mouth without exception. (The serpent's power wasn't limited to devouring.)
"The giant snake is starting its meal; it'd better run away." The tiger spirit glanced back at the giant snake, which was emitting a powerful suction from its mouth and constantly devouring everything. Its body trembled, and it involuntarily quickened its pace.

Wang Han rode the white-armored divine rhinoceros, leading An Qi, who rode a two-headed wolf, towards the palace. Along the way, the streets were filthy and chaotic. The moment the giant snake appeared, the crowd had already fled in a frenzy, leaving only the streets in the aftermath of the chaos.
"Master, will this country perish?" Anqi suddenly asked Wang Han, watching the giant serpent devouring everything in the distance.
“Yes.” Wang Han nodded, knowing what An Qi was thinking, and said, “However, the destruction of this country was inevitable. We just hastened its demise. You don’t need to blame yourself.”
"It was bound to happen sooner or later?" Anqi looked at Wang Han, waiting for his explanation.
"Hmm." Wang Han nodded. "Destruction is inevitable. This country can only last three to five years at most. This monster riot is not simple. Not only are the strength and number of monsters constantly increasing, but even more monsters are gathering in the Monster Forest. There are already no fewer than twenty divine beasts gathered, and there are two pseudo-god-level beings that surpass divine beasts. In addition, there are two armies with tens of millions of people passing through the Monster Forest. Their strength is also very powerful. Among them, there are ten professional gods and more than five hundred professional saints. Therefore, this monster riot is a war, a premeditated war, a real war. The destruction of this country is inevitable. As for the reason, I don't know yet, but I will know soon."
"You'll know soon? How will you know?" Angie asked curiously.
“There’s a huge creature coming this way from the Monster Forest. At its speed, it will reach Blue Maple City in half a day at most,” Wang Han replied. “That creature is as strong as a giant serpent, or even stronger. It is the strongest creature in the Monster Forest.”
“Even more powerful than the giant serpent.” Upon hearing this, Angie glanced again at the giant serpent that had already devoured most of the noble area. It was even more powerful than the giant serpent; she simply couldn’t imagine it.
“No need to dwell on it, no need to blame yourself. The outcome was already predetermined; we just accelerated the process,” Wang Han said. “We’re almost at the palace, and one of the culprits is waiting to die.”
"Hmm." Hearing this, Anqi withdrew her gaze from the giant snake and nodded heavily. The palace walls were already visible from here.
——————————————
Before long, Wang Han and An Qi arrived at the palace gates, where layers upon layers of soldiers blocked their path.
"Gulp..." As they watched Wang Han and An Qi arrive, the soldiers swallowed nervously, fear in their eyes, yet they still stood firmly in front of the two.
'Fear, resolve, dread, cowardice—is it because of orders? Those who retreat will be executed! They don't even know this country is finished, the royal family has fled; they're just abandoned pawns.' Wang Han thought to himself, looking at the layers upon layers of soldiers. However, Wang Han felt no pity for them. Instead, he patted the neck of the white-armored divine rhinoceros. There are countless pitiful people in the world. If you pity everyone you meet, you'll be a pitiful person yourself. Those who elicit your pity depend on fate.
Upon receiving Wang Han's order, terrifying purple lightning flashed on the horn of the white-armored divine rhinoceros, illuminating everything around it and everyone's face in purple.
"Boom..." After a brief two-second build-up, terrifying purple lightning shot out from the horn of the white-armored divine rhinoceros. It swept across all the streets and alleys in front of it like a flower blooming, passing over the bodies of all the soldiers.
After the thunder subsided and the thunder subsided, only clumps of black ash remained in the alleyways and streets that had been filled with layers of soldiers.
“Let’s go,” Wang Han said to An Qi. The white-armored rhinoceros immediately carried Wang Han into the street filled with black ash, heading towards the palace.
"Master," Anqi hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking Wang Han, "Are you... going to destroy the entire Blue Maple City?"
"Yes." Wang Han paused for a moment and said, "I don't like things that don't end up completely. Even if you're not a threat to me, you might understand in the future."
(In the next chapter, the protagonist will break his contract with Angie and truly explore this vast world.)
