Chapter 178 Refugees from the Outer Continent
Chapter 178 Refugees from the Outer Continent
"Huh, what kind of demon is this?"
Loya didn't hide anything.
Of course, there were also powerful people in the places he passed through.
Both awakened beings and monsters exist.
At this moment, some awakened individuals at the national level also saw Loya, and they were terrified, feeling a strong sense of crisis.
This made them realize that Loya was powerful and capable of destroying them.
"Damn those ancient gods of destruction!" The awakened humans gritted their teeth. "Why have so many powerful monsters been created? Does humanity even have a future? Great world will, please grant us more power! We can't hold on much longer!"
...
"Hey, buddy, stop for a second."
Faced with a powerful monster like Loya, human awakened beings generally refrain from provoking it.
And after Loya flew far away, they would feel a mixture of relief and confusion.
I don't understand why such a powerful monster would just pass by.
However, if humans don't provoke Loya, the monsters might not.
At that moment, a three-headed giant bird covered in red and white fleshy growths caught up with them.
"What are you doing?" Loya asked back.
The three-headed giant bird said, "I'd like to invite you to join me in destroying the capital of this country."
Loya refused outright: "I'm very busy and I'm not planning to take action for the time being."
The three-headed giant bird was displeased. "As one of your own kind, you shouldn't act like this. Do you want to anger the great ancient gods?"
Loya snapped, "Don't fucking threaten me. I'm not going to be scared by you. You dead bird, get lost, or I'll eat you alive."
"Aaaaah, you've gone too far! This is betrayal!" The three-headed giant bird was furious.
"Don't talk nonsense. I recently killed a National Guardian-level Awakened and seriously injured another. My achievements are far greater than yours," Luo Ya said confidently.
Upon hearing this, the three-headed giant bird became distrustful: "What are you bragging about? National Guardian Awakeners are very difficult to kill. Even I wouldn't be able to kill them easily."
"Hey, you're really asking for trouble. You've completely enraged me." Loya felt that this three-headed giant bird had gone mad.
Innate Bloodline Skill: Chaotic Crimson Lotus Hell
"Boom!" In an instant, Loya created a vast sea of fire shaped like a lotus flower, covering the sky.
"I'm going to eat you." The three-headed giant bird wasn't exactly known for its good temper either, and now, seeing Loya dare to unleash his power, it became enraged. It unleashed a red and white storm that clashed with Loya's flames.
It must be said that this giant bird truly lives up to its name with three heads; its attack power seems to surpass that of the guardian-level awakened beings that Loya had encountered before.
The three-headed giant bird possesses a variety of abilities; its heads open their mouths and spew out wind, air, and poison.
These three characteristics are all destructive and can be combined to form a "combination technique".
With a "crack," even space itself began to slowly crack. This demonstrates just how terrifying this combination technique was.
"Very good." Loya grinned menacingly, charging forward with bared teeth and claws, launching a frenzied attack. Endless flames clashed with his opponent.
He opened his mouth and exhaled [Chaotic Breath].
"Bang bang bang," the fierce battle produced deafening explosions.
The entire sky trembled violently under their power.
In the distance, numerous monsters and awakened humans also noticed the situation immediately.
"What a terrifying monster!" An old woman with white hair flew out from a small town a hundred miles away.
This was none other than a powerful awakened individual from the vicinity.
"I wonder if there will be a chance to finish them off once they are both exhausted." Although the old woman is old, her heart is not.
Loya also sensed something was wrong; there were quite a few experts here.
If we expend too much energy here, we could be vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
"Therefore, I need to end the battle as soon as possible and leave," Loya thought resolutely. "It seems I have no choice but to use the forbidden technique."
Forbidden Technique: [Light of Nuclear Peace]
The flames of Loya suddenly transformed into a pale white light.
A light possessing extraordinary power, which evolved into an even more terrifying natural disaster, made its debut in this world.
"Ah, what is this?" The three-headed giant bird retreated in terror, its body rapidly disappearing under the illumination of the nuclear light.
"How can someone like you possess such terrifying power? This is illogical, this shouldn't be happening." After the three-headed giant bird finished speaking, one of its heads disappeared.
The remaining two heads were even more terrified.
"Please, stop it, I know I was wrong."
"Let's end this. I give up."
The three-headed giant bird's voice was shrill, like a little woman who had lost control and gone mad.
"Heh, it's too late. You should just die a peaceful death."
"Rest assured, your power will become my power. Help me destroy this world."
Of course, Loya wouldn't stop. He rushed forward, grabbed the three-headed giant bird with his claws, and forcefully opened its beak.
With an explosive attraction, the three-headed giant bird was quickly devoured, like a large noodle.
Meanwhile, the light of nuclear peace is fading and dimming.
...
Five seconds later, the battle was completely over, and Loya left.
The sky, now filled with the lingering echoes of evil, is drifting recklessly, polluting the environment and causing the vibrant natural world to begin to decay and mutate.
"The bird that destroys nations, it's actually been killed?" The old woman stared in disbelief at the scene. She never imagined that the great monster that had left humans helpless was gone just like that.
"What a terrifying dragon! I hope the savior will grow up soon, otherwise humanity may perish quickly." The old woman felt sorrow for humanity's future when she thought of Loya's power.
She felt that Luo Yatai was terrifying, especially the nuclear light that defeated the three-headed giant bird, which was even more terrifying, making her feel as if she could see the afterglow of the world's destruction.
...
After a long time, Loya traveled across mountains and rivers and arrived at the seaside.
"First, go to the sea to develop for a while, and then..."
Loya was filled with anticipation. He turned around and looked deeply at the continent, which was already engulfed in flames of war.
"My child, I hope you can have a peaceful end."
Loya offered a very insincere blessing.
Flying around all the way greatly broadened his horizons.
He discovered that humans are at a disadvantage.
The monsters seem to be multiplying infinitely, their numbers increasing exponentially every day.
While quite a few Awakened Ones have been born, they are nowhere near as numerous as the monsters.
This gave Loya an idea: he guessed that this world might also be doomed. Yet the so-called Ancient Gods of Destruction remained as powerful as ever, and even grew stronger with the passage of time.
After all, the world is constantly breaking down, and it's very difficult to restore it.
Of course, for now, this matter doesn't have much to do with him.
Loya turned and rushed into the sea.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
However, not long afterward, a massive whirlpool appeared in the depths of the ocean, swallowing up countless seawater.
This is the incarnation of Loya.
Yes, seawater is also a kind of thing in the world, and Loya can devour them and convert them into the energy he needs.
...
A few days later.
Dawn City, the Demon Extermination Bureau.
"Vierlan, I just received a message," Sally said to Vierlan as she entered.
Vierlan's expression is normal now, just a little indifferent.
"What news is it about me?" Vierlan asked in confusion.
Sally nodded: "It does have something to do with you."
Sally felt very sad and somewhat unable to accept the news she had received not long ago.
'That guy Loya actually became a Fallen One and even killed a Guardian-level Awakened One. He's truly guilty of heinous crimes,' Sally thought to herself.
"What happened?" Vierlan asked.
Sally took a deep breath and said somewhat awkwardly, "That monster who impersonated your father recently killed a monster capable of destroying a nation. We must continue to increase his danger."
Yes, the three-headed giant bird is very famous.
And Loya, this dragon, is no ordinary creature either, and he has begun to gain fame.
The human awakened ones who witnessed Loya destroy the three-headed giant bird were all eager to spread what they had seen and heard, so that more people would know what had happened. This was to prevent them from being caught off guard when they encountered Loya without prior knowledge of the situation.
"What?" Vierlan was taken aback by what she heard.
As for the first part of Sally's words, she didn't care. It was Lyrgis's request; she felt that having a monster father would affect Vierlan's reputation, so she made it this way. At the same time, to minimize trouble, apart from a few familiar people, no one knew about Loya's situation.
For most people, Villan's father, Loya, had long since died in Kane Town.
However, at this moment, Vierland could not deceive herself.
"Is he trying to protect the world in his own way?" Vierlan looked at Sally with deep sorrow.
Sally actually wanted to nod, but when she thought of how Loya had also wiped out a human guardian-level awakened being, she hardened her heart and said, "Vierlan, your father has died innocent. He was just a despicable and shameless demon. Don't think that just because he killed a demon, you can get away with it."
The reason I told Vierlan about this was actually to make her give up and to make her determined to protect the world and humanity.
Vierland remained silent.
"I'm sorry, Vierlan, please face reality. We humans and monsters cannot coexist peacefully. Only one side can survive, or it will all be wiped out." Sally turned her head and looked out the window at the still dilapidated city.
"Too many people have died recently."
"Demons have no humanity."
"Cast aside your attachments and cowardice, then earnestly become stronger, and end the wars of today. Let humanity find peace and recuperation." After Sally finished speaking, she picked up a glass of water from the table and slowly drank it.
"Hmm." Vierlan nodded and turned to leave.
…
The land where Vierlan is located is the "Finger Continent".
On its western opposite shore lies a land called "Skid".
The distance between the two sides is actually quite far.
The ocean that lay between them was extremely dangerous for ordinary people in this era. Moreover, due to the great distance, each journey would consume a great deal of time.
This has resulted in a very weak connection between the two sides.
Especially now, with monsters starting to riot, everyone is focused on their own tasks, leaving even less time to learn about each other's continents.
Yes, this monster catastrophe is an operation that started in all parts of the world, not just in one place.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Relatively speaking, although the situation on the continent of Finger is not good for humanity, humanity is still able to persevere.
However, the Skid continent was rather unlucky.
They have now suffered a complete defeat. Countless humans have perished.
Monsters are everywhere, and have become the most numerous creatures on the continent.
The abundance of monsters also polluted the environment, turning what was once a normal place into a dark, barren landscape that began to wither and became unsuitable for ordinary humans to live in.
However, not all the humans here have died out.
At this very moment, a fleet of countless small boats and large ships drifted on the sea, recklessly heading away from the Skid Continent and towards the Finger Continent.
The ship was filled with a large number of people in very poor mental condition.
"We'll be there soon, almost at the continent of Fingergar."
On a giant ship, a burly man, missing his right arm and with his face covered in scars, was excitedly muttering to himself.
He is one of the few national-level awakened individuals among the survivors of the Skid continent... Renault.
Unfortunately, his body is now crippled, and his strength has plummeted. His current true combat power may have fallen to the level of a super awakened being.
"Something terrible has happened, Lord Renault!" Suddenly, a red-haired boy with blue wings descended from the sky and landed not far away.
Renault: "What happened to Suen?"
Suen said breathlessly, "There's not enough food. The people on that small boat are even eating their own kind."
Upon hearing this, Renault's expression changed drastically: "How could this be? The food shouldn't be gone so quickly."
Before escaping the continent of Skid, they prepared a lot of food.
Even if there isn't enough food to reach the destination, it shouldn't run out halfway through.
Suen smiled bitterly: "Some ordinary big shots, while we Awakeners were dealing with monsters and giving them power, started hoarding food and engaging in class struggle, which left some lowly ordinary people without any food."
Renault gritted his teeth: "Damn nobles, even at this point, they are still so selfish."
"Sun, form an oversight bureau with a portion of the awakened ones. Personally distribute food and monitor high-ranking officials. Anyone who dares to hoard supplies or disobey me will die, no matter who they are. Compared to the life and death of humanity, these so-called big shots are nothing but dog shit. As for power, take it back and find truly kind people to manage it. And those who commit crimes, don't hesitate, just kill them and throw them into the sea to feed the fish." Renault exuded a strong killing intent, and the surrounding temperature dropped because of his emotional change.
In fact, if possible, it would be best to let the awakened ones receive the rights.
Because awakened people are generally kind and have a strong sense of the big picture.
However, the Awakened Ones are all very busy right now. They simply don't have time to manage so many ships and people.
There's no way around it, there are just too many people and too many miscellaneous tasks.
This will severely drain the energy of those who have awakened.
When awakened beings are caught off guard, they are easily taken advantage of by demons.
Yes, there are monsters at sea too.
Meanwhile, monsters may be lurking on this ship.
In short, don't think you're safe just because you've left the Skid continent.
Suen instinctively hugged his arms; he felt a chill.
“Yes, I will do it seriously.” Su En nodded quickly, but he was still a little hesitant, “But what about those poor people who eat their own kind…”
Renault took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said with great difficulty, "Kill them too. Those who feed on their own kind do not deserve to be called human. They are no different from monsters."
“In chaotic times, harsh measures are necessary. We must be ruthless, otherwise, before the monsters even catch up, we might fall into internal strife and destroy ourselves.”
Renault was also reluctant to do it. He knew that doing so was unfair to those "people," but he really didn't have much of a choice now.
"In short, kill those who deserve to be killed, and reward those who deserve to be rewarded," Renault concluded.
Su En stood at attention and said, "Hmm."
With a "whoosh," Su En flew away immediately afterward.
